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 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...

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!

Fall Inspo 2017

I once ordered a skirt online. It looked completely different online than when I got it! But I kept it because despite the fact I couldn't wear it with the top I had ordered it for, it was still a fabulous skirt. Haven't worn it yet, but this photo gives me some serious inspo! Who doesn't love THIS color to brighten up an all black outfit or mix it with some other fun Fall colors like Tawny Port or Golden Lime! Navy Peony and Ballet Slipper...YES PLEASE!!  Always a winning combo! Not sure how I will pull this one off but I have quite a few pleated pieces like it. Loving the combo with the t-shirt!! When I was searching for inspo for Tawny Port my creative brain was on overload coming up with outfits I could rock in this color! (Will totally pair this with Golden Lime)!! This color screams fall! BTW I am STILL looking for over the knee gray boots if anyone can suggest or send me a link I would greatly appreciate it! I have been on the hunt for ...
