I helped build a closet

You heard right!

I helped Matt build a closet. I'll admit that I love putting things together and using power tools on occasion, but to build a masterpiece (yes, that's what I like to call it) was thrilling. Matt says he feels like Mr. Big from SATC becuase he "built me a closet" with a great place for all of my shoes.

Do you remember the before picture? As I like to call it, "The Fire"

And then two weeks ago after we finished painting...



A glimpse of what are floor boards will look like

And now?

Check out the closet with the shelving! We (and by we, Matt) bought the shelves from the Container Co., what a fantastic place! They have so many amazing things, other than containers. Who would have thought?

I thought you would want to see a close-up of my gliding shoe racks. That's right, I said gliding.



Now, all that is left is to install the floorboards, touch up some paint, paint the sliding doors and assemble. We're almost finished! What do you think of our 2-week project that has turned into 2 months? It has been a lot of work, but wow, I can't complain with the amount of space we now have!
