I can hardly imagine it, however my walk-in closet is completed!! This venture ended up taking approach longer than I assumed it could (5 months!), however to me, the top result’s so definitely worth the effort I put into it. By no means in my life have I had a lot cupboard space, and I by no means even dreamed that I’d have a closet like this. I stroll in right here a number of instances a day simply to go searching. 😁
This “earlier than and after” is type of totally different, although, as a result of I went from a wonderfully high-quality visitor bed room to a walk-in closet. I usually choose an excellent earlier than and after the place the earlier than room was in horrible form with all outdated finishes in order that it actually contrasts with the contemporary, new room. However I don’t have that right here. With this one, I’ve a earlier than bed room that had a floral wall that I actually liked, and now I’ve a closet that I believe is fairly superb.
However the change remains to be fairly drastic. In case you’ve forgotten, right here’s what the room regarded like earlier than as a bed room.

And right here’s what it appears to be like like now…


Right here’s one other view of the room as a bed room…


And right here’s that very same view now…


Right here’s a view of the room as a bed room wanting again in the direction of the door and the hallway…


And right here’s that view at this time.


I all the time thought this view of the bed room was extremely boring. Had it stayed a bed room, I had plans to hold that floral wall remedy round the entire room.


However there’s nothing boring about the way it appears to be like at this time. I can’t wait to get the lobby completed as a result of I hate wanting by means of the doorway and seeing that unfinished lobby. It type of ruins the vibe. 😀


And I’ll do only a couple extra earlier than and afters earlier than I deal with simply the closet. Right here’s the view of the left wall of the bed room from the doorway.


And right here’s that view at this time…


And right here’s the final earlier than image that I’ll present you…


And right here’s that view at this time…


I’m so pleased with how this closet and laundry space turned out. This was my greatest constructing venture to this point, and it was a doozy. Since I work on my own, constructing after which making an attempt to wrangle such giant cupboards into place and get the screwed collectively was a problem, and it wasn’t precisely what I’d name a enjoyable problem. However it all labored out, and though it took a lot longer, I’m very glad that I made a decision to construct from scratch as an alternative of utilizing IKEA Pax wardrobes.


Y’all know I really like my IKEA cupboards in my studio. However for this room, constructing from scratch allowed me to customise every thing identical to I wished it, and to construct the customized widths and heights that I wanted in order that I may squeeze each inch of usable cupboard space out of the wall house in right here as doable. And I now lastly have sufficient storage for all of my sneakers.


Really, that’s not true. I didn’t have sufficient room for all of them, so I needed to eliminate about seven pairs of sneakers. I might need a shoe downside. 😀


I simply love strolling in right here to this organized house and having every thing proper the place I can see it and simply discover it.


And I’ve to say, I used to be a bit nervous and uncertain about having the washer and dryer contained in the closet, however that is actually one in every of my favourite choices I’ve made to this point on our home. Having these within the closet is so unbelievably handy. It’s the proper association, a minimum of for me. I can see the way it may not work for a house with a couple of one that does laundry. However I’m the one one who does laundry on this family, so for us, it’s excellent.


And I’m so glad that I bought to make use of my sparkly phrase artwork in right here. I do know phrase artwork isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, and it’s probably not mine, both. However these have particular which means to me, so I’m actually glad that the colours labored so nicely in right here.


Listed here are just a few extra photos of this aspect of the room, offered with out commentary, earlier than we transfer to the opposite aspect of the room.






All of my hanging garments are on this aspect of the room, and I nonetheless have empty cupboard space. I’m glad to have it as a result of as I empty out the sunroom much more, I’ll have objects like blankets and pillows that can have to be saved. So these cabinets will probably be excellent for that.


And as I used to be enhancing these photos, I needed to snicker at myself as a result of I took the suggestion made by a few of you, and I organized my quick sleeves shirts by shade as finest as I may. That has been very handy and has made it simple to search out precisely what I’m in search of. However then after I introduced my lengthy sleeve objects in, I simply threw them on there fairly haphazardly and forgot to rearrange them. In order that part wasn’t actually prepared for its debut.


I used to be a bit involved about having my washer and dryer organized in order that they’re throughout from one another as an alternative of side-by-side. However I’ve to say, I’ve actually liked this association. I don’t discover that it takes any extra effort to place moist garments within the dryer with this association than it did with them side-by-side.


Alright, y’all, I’ve so many photos (I went a bit overboard…I used to be excited), so I’ll simply let y’all go searching a bit with out having to learn my commentary.










Okay, now we’ve reached the photographs of my favourite a part of the room. I’m simply so stinkin’ pleased with how this space turned out. The glass-top jewellery drawer. The pull-out necklace bars. I actually love this entire space. The wallpaper. The mirror. The sconces. It’s my favourite part of the entire closet.


And I simply need to brag on myself for slightly bit. As y’all know, I’m not the smartest and mot organized particular person on the earth, to say the least. 🤣 And I’ve all the time had a foul behavior of taking off necklaces and earrings and leaving them in random locations, like my desk, or within the kitchen, or by the mattress. However I’ve been doing a very good job at preserving my jewellery organized as an alternative of leaving earrings and necklaces strewn everywhere in the home. So having a company system in place actually does assist maintain me in line.


And I do know it’s slightly element, however I simply love this glass high.


After which there’s the necklace bars. I’ve so many necklaces which might be in progress however I by no means completed as a result of I had run out of room on my earlier necklace storage bar that I saved within the lavatory. However now, I’ve loads of room for heaps extra necklaces, so I can get these “in progress” necklaces completed up. And this storage system has been so useful.


Since I make all of my necklaces myself, I make them the identical size, and I put clasps on all of them. If I want a necklace to be longer for a particular outfit, I simply use a necklace extender. I’ve a number of lengths, and I maintain these within the drawer. So utilizing these bars to retailer the necklaces may be very handy. I’ve to unclasp them to take them off, so then I simply clasp them across the bar for storage. The entire part pulls out like a drawer in order that the necklaces on the again bar are simply accessible.


And, in fact, one other factor I’m so pleased with on this room is the chandelier. I nonetheless want that every of you would see it in particular person as a result of photographs simply don’t appear to do it justice. In photographs, every thing is two-dimensional, so the chandelier type of blends into the wallpaper and different background objects.


Once you see it in particular person, you don’t have that concern. That third dimension provides it a complete totally different look and it doesn’t mix into the background in any respect. However we’ll simply have to stay with photographs.






I haven’t discovered precisely how I wish to use my tray but. I’m probably not a fragrance type of particular person. I solely have one, and I don’t use it fairly often. And I don’t wish to spray it within the closet anyway as a result of I don’t need that scent getting on every thing in my closet. So I maintain it within the lavatory.
However I do have a handbag bowl. Do you have got a handbag bowl? I’ve been utilizing this technique for a few 12 months now and I find it irresistible. I solely have just a few objects that I take with me in a handbag — keys, telephone, slightly zipper pouch with stevia (as a result of I drink iced tea in all places I am going), lip gloss, lip stick, a pen, and so on. So I maintain these objects within the bowl, after which after I’m able to go someplace, I seize the purse I wish to take, put the objects from the purse bowl within the purse, and I’m able to go. And after I get dwelling, if I’m not planning on going wherever else that day, I put the objects again within the bowl, put the purse away, and so they’re prepared for subsequent time.


Nicely, that’s it, y’all. I can hardly imagine that this venture has truly come to an in depth.


















And I can’t shut out this tour of my completed closet with out supplying you with a nighttime view. I don’t like vivid overhead lights turned on as soon as the solar goes down. So I wished these image lights to remain on on a regular basis to present a nightlight impact. And it’s additionally simply sufficient gentle if I have to put one thing in to clean after darkish. However largely, I simply wished them for the nightlight impact. I simply love strolling by right here at night time and seeing that tender glow of sunshine on the far finish of the room.


And that’s it, people. Thanks a lot for sticking with me by means of this lengthy, and generally very boring, venture!! And now we’re on to the lobby and bed room. These needs to be enjoyable, and I’m hoping they’ll be a lot quicker for the reason that flooring are completed all through the bed room suite, and there will probably be far much less constructing required for these different areas. However we’ll see!
