Closet

The closet project is coming along nicely. With the Container Store's annual Elfa sale and all the various things that have become displaced in the house shuffle, we decided to try out a new closet plan. The planners and CS made a proposal for our closet and then we tweaked it (actually, I poo-pooed it and we started kinda fresh). After it was all said and done it sounded like what seems like miles of shelf space sure would be nice. So, 1 ginormous purchase later, we had stacks of shelves in our front room. We hired a handyman to rip out the old wooden, useless shelves and rods and Doug and I installed the new platinum ventilated shelves last night. They were out of stock in a few key items, so it's not complete yet, but the available storage is already holding 95% of what was in our closet before with 50% of shelf space left over. :-D

Wow, that is cool! I can't wait to see what it looks like now!!! Is that where you will store your stamps?

That sounds great - the people who designed our closets were about as inefficient as possible. Lots of shelves, but no real storage space.

Bonnie, I remember the same feeling when we lived in that floor plan. Lots of closet space, but not a darn place to store anything!
