Closet Makeover!!

Hi friends!!

Happy Thursday!!!

So- on Monday I posted about our weekend and that Aaron tackled the HUGE project of making over our master closet- you can read about it HERE!

Ever since we moved into our house last June- we have wanted to make our closet more functional. It is a GREAT size. But the space was being totally underutilized with the builder grade, wire racks. I don't like dressers in bedrooms (I know- I am SUPER weird)- so we also had 2 dressers in our closet and it was basically a HOT MESS.

Here's the before picture of my side of the closet....

If you walk into our closet- this is what you saw. This is the back wall of our closet and WOW. It was organized SO well. HA!

Here's Aaron's side....such a disaster zone! HA!

We started looking at closet organization systems and quickly realized we would have to do something on our own. Creating a custom closet and having someone else install it for you is about the same price as a used car. HA!

We ended going with Home Depot and because Aaron is amazing- he measured everything out, asked me specifically what I was looking for and then "designed" us a closet. 

He bought all sorts of different shelving, drawers, and rods to create our "custom" closet. 

In full disclosure- this was NOT cheap. 

But- it was TREMENDOUSLY less expensive than if we had it done by someone else.

All the pieces got delivered by Home Depot...there were SO.MANY.BOXES. and Aaron got to work Friday night after the kids went to bed. He worked for a large portion of Saturday (we had a few other things we did) and then once we got home from church on Sunday, he didn't stop working until about 6 pm. So this was NOT a small job at all.

But look at the finished product!!

Aaron took this panoramic shot with his phone!

And here are some pictures with all of our things moved in!

Please excuse the lighting...it's horrible because there is no natural light!

If you were walking into our closet- this is the left side...and it's where I have all of my things.

 Here's a different view of "my side."
Do you see all those little ceramic creatures?? The girls have painted them for me and they LOVE that I have them on display :)

 Here's Aaron's side!

 And here is the back wall!
You can see we still have SO much open space!! 
We gained so much room with this closet makeover! 

 The only thing that still needs to be done is add shelving to the very top of the closet so if we wanted to place things up there we could. Home Depot forgot to include hardware to install the shelves- so we are waiting on them to send that.

I absolutely LOVE the dresser "system" we picked out!! We went with one of the "higher end" options and I am so glad we did. The drawers are extremely high quality and super roomy.

It feels SO good to have such a clean, organized, functional closet. We both keep saying we feel extremely spoiled and definitely do NOT deserve to have this nice of a closet! :)

I am SO thankful to have such a handy husband. He truly is skilled when it comes to this sort of thing and I am so appreciative that he spends his precious time doing things like this for us!

YAY for a new closet!!

Hope you have the BEST day!!

See you back here tomorrow for my Friday Favorites!
