There is
a lot of projects going on this week in our humble home really big ones to very small ones. This week I took some time off to work in our little girls bedroom closet .
Since she is getting bigger she has accumulated lots and lots more clothing items than when she was a baby and they didn’t fit in her closet very confortable anymore and I felt there was soooo much wasted space vertically and horizontally . So I decided to address the issue the best way I could ..witch is by taking everything away and start with an clean slate.
If you follow me on
Instagram you can see I posted a picture of my boys shared closet a while back {witch that reminds me to make another post uh??} this system was working with us in our old home and has been working great for us for almost 3 years with the boys so I say why not lets try it in Annaliah’s closet problems . This project seriously took me about 6 hours. {that much because I was alone at home with the kids and I had to stop every 30 minutes between lunch breaks , bathroom breaks , playing with them , snack breaks ..and all the rest of the break if not it would of taken me about 2 hours like the boys did }.
okay no more chats and lets do this…
So I took everything out of her closet .{
witch I don’t know why but I forgot to take before pictures }
I stared with a clean slate like you can see since we are planning on doing something with the walls but im still thinking about it {
wallpaper or paint or even stickers}I didn’t want to touch the walls at the moment .
I used the expedit she was once upon a time using as a beach {
she doesn’t really use or utilize it so it was just taking space in her bedroom .}
The exedits already come with this little gadget to secure them to the wall so that I needed to use them {
don’t want any accidental pulling and everything to come down or what's even worst I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt}
When that was in place my next step was to try to find a secure stud on the wall witch I did with the help of a stud finder ..
ps: do you see the step stool?? well yes im short so I needed to see where I was drilling …
Do you see the marks on the wall?? yes I know but that will all be cover when I decide on what to do with this walls.
This cap also came with the expedit to hide the ugly..
Next step was to measure and install this pole sockets I found them at home depot for 2.69
Once installed I went down to the workshop area {also reminds me for another post about the changes we have made to this area.}
Please don’t mind the disaster is that we are working at the moment in about 11 different projects ..Anyways I came down here and measure once again and marked where was I suppose to cut
Once measured and marked it was time to cut the rods.
I honestly didn’t want to use the table saw for this project
not because im scare of it… but because it wasn't much to cut so I use this little machine and it work like a charm.
After all this I took them back up the the baby girls room and put them in place.
Yes I know it looks crooked but I sure you its not it was just in the angle I took the picture and I dint notice im still trying to figure out my new camera..
Next step since I didn’t wanted to paint the rods because was scare that the paint might chip away as the moving of the hangers I decided to do the same as the boys and buy couple of the shower rod covers that where about 3 dollar a pop ..
All I needed now was to cover the rod and cut with a good pair of working scissors.
Next step measure cut and install..
My smallest boy said to me “mommy I want you to take a picture of my Ipad pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaseeeeeeeeeeeeee” with puppy ayes and everything who wouldn’t say no to his gorgeous face..
Anyways back to the closet how is it looking??
I just want to give you an idea of how is it going to be organize {yes im still working on it because im still multi tasking into other projects as well as sorting to all her clothes im hoping to be done my Sunday. }
And this is the finish product for now what do you think?

rounding it off }

wooden rod : $11.00
pole sockets : $3.00 x 4
