I’ve been working on my youngest son’s closet for what seems like FOREVER!!! I’ve even shown you some sneak peeks HERE and HERE and HERE. But here’s the final before and after!!!
This is a very long closet, measuring around 13 feet long!!! {for years I even stored some of my over flow of craft supplies and fabric in the far corner}
There is a lot of wasted space in this BEFORE closet. The two long shelves simply did not utilize the 9 foot ceilings.
My solution was to add a large shelving unit in the middle and add 3 tiers of shelves and closet doweling on each side.
Organized. Check.
Better use of space. Check. Check.
The red buckets and blue bins all came from Target. The clear plastic bins are ones that we had, I spray painted the top lids using Krylon Fusion in red. To see more details of the labeling click HERE.
After organizing and removing unwanted items, we still have an entire half closet left unfilled!!!!!!!

That turned out great - very efficient use of space and much cleaner looking that the wire shelving before...
ReplyDeleteStill room for overflow for you too yet!!
Wow! What an awesome closet, I wish mine looked like that! Great Job!
ReplyDeleteWow that is amazing. I need some of your organizational skills over here. All of my closets are nothing less then scary!! Wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteWow that looks great. I have my boys closet slated for this fall or winter. Are the shelves an organizing system?

My oldest son's closet is exactly like this, long and skinny, really long! We store our luggage in one side, and he hates it. Your organized closet looks much better than ours!
ReplyDeleteGreat project! Organizers make such a difference. And I love that you painted the wall behind too!

ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing. I'd love to do something like that in my son's closet. I just don't have the funds right now with our backyard remodel.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteCarrie, I am so loving your blog. I am hooked on all your closet makeovers, I need help bad, and you just have such great ideas. You never mention cost in any of these, so I am assuming it is costly until you tell me otherwise, lol. Gosh I would love to do something like this, to all my closets.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is really cool, and Im so happy I found you. I am your very happy newest follower.
I host a weekly party ** Amaze me August**, and started a new seasonal one **6 weeks 2 JINGLE**, and would be THRILLED if you stopped by to link up to either. :)
Thanks so much, and hope to see your awesomeness over at my place. :)
