closet case

Check out my newest addition on the right banner: Home Project list.

#1 & 2 on this list: Bedroom and hallway closet transformations!

Our kitchen has some pretty good storage, for being a small galley kitchen. What it really lacks is counter space. We try not to leave too much on them, but trying only goes so far! And, when you have two people who love to cook, well you can only imagine the pots, pans, dishes and baking stuff you have!

There is a decent sized closet in the hallway leading to the bedrooms. Shane had been using it for his vacuum, dog food, towels, some pans, etc. In addition to this closet, there is a small narrow one in the bedroom. Until just recently, I thought it was drilled shut because it was never used. He kept his hamper in front of it as though it was blocking a secret passage. That passage was prime real estate that I could not wait to get my hands on!!

Our plans were to convert the hallway closet into a pantry and then bedroom into a linen closet. Going forward, those will be their respected names. The biggest challenge started out being closet organizers. Which for the pantry wasn't so difficult because there were already metal shelves in there. The linen closet was too narrow for much, so we purchased a plastic shelf unit from Lowe's.

And in one weekend...it was done!

This is the pantry
More organizing to go! 

A linen closet just for towels and cleaning stuff! 

Can't wait to finish organizing it! :)

Peace and <3!!
