Building a Better Closet

 Before we could put the new closet organizer together we had to get the molding down. I hate that job. It's fiddly and all I do is stand around and hold wood. Boring.



 My Ikea closet came in 24 separate boxes. That's a lot of sorting.




 It was also a lot of cardboard. The Mister's taking a trip to recycling tomorrow.



 It was a long day of work in a very small tight space.



 The Mister always gets the hard part. I get to read directions and sort the doo dads.



 Ta dah.....done. Look at all those beautiful shelves. I decided to not use the hanging bar since I have a large Ikea armoire that will hold all my hanging clothes-after I do a serious sort out.



Today I am on my way back to Ikea to pick up more of these pretty garment boxes. I've never decorated a closet before. This could be fun.

  3. I am envious of your closet! And that fact that you and the Mister can build things together. Dave and I can't. One of us will end up murdered.

  6. Oh my goodness! I love your closet organizer. And the little flowered pull out bins! Oh my! We don’t have an IKEA closer than 300 miles from us. I guess there’s no danger of me making a trip there anytime soon though is there? I can’t wait to see it all finished and loaded up. Blessings, Betsy
