New Home for the Clothes

Friday was oh so exciting because we got to go to the Container Store to pick-up all of our closet pieces.

First, a before look at the closet:

Wall A:


Wall B:


Wall C:


Wall D:

Clearly not the best use of space.

Step 1: closet contents cleared:

TWO hours later, this is where we are:

Upper rods up all around closet.

Clip-in vertical pieces attached to upper rods:




The elfa spacer - not as effective as it looks:


Shelving goes up:


Drawers go in:




Michael gets loony as it approaches midnight and we are still not done:


Shoe-rack guitar:


Fascia to make it look all-classy like:


Wall A, almost compete:




We clearly did not meet our 1-hour deadline. But in our defense, Elfa-snap in system is not as easy as it looks.
