New closet setup!

Hi friends 😊

I’m sorry I didn’t post last weekend but we were a tad busy… redoing a storage closet off our laundry room! Andrew’s parents came up to help us and we had a nice (if busy) weekend together.

Here is what the chaos we started with looked like:

The first step is taking everything out. Andrew did most of the work since I’ve been crazy busy at work and coming home burnt out. He got everything in plastic tubs or on our Costco fold out table. Then on Friday, he started taking out the built in shelves and rods and hooks. Turns out it wasn’t completely painted.

So off to Home Depot to get paint we went. Andrew sanded and painted after I went to bed Friday, so I woke up to this beautiful painted closet Saturday:

Once Andrew’s parents got there, Andrew and his dad went to work. Before long we had the start of new built in shelving!

It took all afternoon and part of the evening but on Saturday night we had shelving on both sides.

Once we got that far, we stopped for the night. Andrew’s parents took us out to dinner and we had such a nice time!

Sunday was when Andrew’s mom and I really put in work for this project. With Andrew and his dad’s help we filled in the closet shelves. We fit everything that was originally in the closet and way more, which opened up an entire other closet space and some cupboard space in the kitchen.

That’s the finished product of our weekend of work- I’m obsessed and love how it turned out!

Andrew’s mom and I then loaded up the big wire cart that was in this closet with my home canned goods and slid it into the newly emptied closet off the kitchen. I didn’t get a picture but it’s definitely full again.

I hope everyone is enjoying this lovely weather this weekend!
