Closet Project


Closet Project:

My wonderful (engineer) husband designed my closet for me when we were first dating. Needless to say he did not live with me at the time and therefore had no idea what he was in for with this project! My clothing occupies 3 separate spaces in our 2 bedroom condo (yes, you read that correctly. I may not be the greatest at math but 3 spaces and only 2 bedrooms; thank God for our basement storage space). In the upcoming weeks, I plan to transform our storage room in the basement to hold all of my clothing, shoes, handbags and jewelry; on as cheap of a budget as I can manage (and still have it look expensive). Bear with me and wish me luck! I'll keep you posted on my progress.

                                                                  The Jewelry Bar:


The current situation (1 of 3 rooms I currently occupy)

Done on a strict budget this is what I opted for as "walls"


How it began:


How it's looking so far:


These bookcases have been around longer than I have!
They used to be laminate wood, my mom painted them black and now I am painting them white.

$8 Chandelier I found a few months ago at Salvation Army
I staple gunned sheer white fabric to make a "ceiling" (pictures coming soon)

Wrapping paper from TJMaxx covers the one wall, to make it an accent wall!
        

I found shelving contact paper at the Dollar Tree that looks like wood flooring!
Since this is not a high traffic area and I don't plan on moving furniture across the floor,
it should not get damaged.



Still minor tweaks to make but here it is!!!

Poolside Must Haves

So after my trip I found a few fun items needed for poolside... Turkish Beach Towel from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071J1RPS7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Inflatabull: https://www.amazon.com/Intex-Inflat-Bull-Inflatable-Pool/dp/B01KUL0CWY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1506533254&sr=8-3&keywords=inflatable+bull Ice Cream Sandwiches: Choose a cookie and your favorite ice cream, one scoop and close with another cookie. It's great because as you lick the ice cream you can mash the cookies and it makes it easier to eat the ice cream in the middle

Heelusions

These have seriously changed my life! My husband and I are travelers, especially to Vegas. I tend to try to travel light. I don't like hauling bags through the airport or even from the car to the hotel room. Being a Fashion Blogger requires multiple shoe and outfit options so this company was the perfect answer to my dilemma. Now I can bring one or two heels on a trip and with their heel wraps it's easy to change the look of an outfit and get several looks! Below are a few of their "best sellers" and for more check out their website:  https://www.heelusions.com
