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!!!

My Little Gray Cape (Trench Coat)

I am LOVING this cape for Fall! When I bought it I thought, 'ok this is going to be cute for the beginning of Fall when it's not super cold, then I'll have to layer sweaters under it and still wear a coat.' But just wearing it for the short time we did this shoot I was sweating! It's perfect for Fall nights, long car rides, plane rides, anything where it gets chilly but you want to be able to throw it off to use your arms. I can't wait to wrap up in it all Fall/Winter long and be nice and cozy! It also comes in Black so I may have to own 2 bc I have a feeling this will be a staple piece in my wardrobe! (Perfect too for formal occasions, verses a coat; yep definitely need it in black!)                                                                                  ...

Gray Goddess

                                            I really need to order these before they are gone! I've gone in my shoe closet several times and black sandals are too dark, nude sandals just aren't quite right for the outfit and for some reason I'm weird about white sandals (working on breaking my uncertainties) Here is the link for these hot Summer sandals! Save me a pair in 9 please, lol. https://www.dsw.com/en/us/product/hobey-gladiator-sandal/384864?cm_mmc=CSE-_-GPS-_-G_Shopping_Sandals-_-New_Sandals&cadevice=c                                                   I am SERIOUSLY in love and stalking this maxi/romper!

My Little Bathroom Nook

              My little bathroom nook is finally complete! We been in the cottage for 5 months now and when we moved in it was the beginning of the shut downs so it was like just get moved in and deal with getting settled later! When we moved in it was a plane storage closet with the electrical box. I can't even remember if we had shelves or not. We purchased a little plastic 3 drawer storage box on wheels from Meijer and that was about it. We put an accordion door on it so we could close it (out of sight when we had guests). But honestly mid party I would realize we had forgotten to close it and our junk was still in sight! So here we are several months later, about to start on the main house but at least I finally finished this to enjoy the last few months or so while we are still living in the cottage! Pink Washcloths from Target because our old ones met  their fate from a pen in the washing machine. DIY TIP: If you have a bottle that you...
