Extreme Makeover Closet Edition

We finally got sick of the lack of storage space in our old closet that we got up the drive to make some changes. Remember the way it used to look:


First, I ripped out the old - discovering in the process that the old was hung using a system of hangers designed to destroy the wall when removed.









Here's me working the Spackle into a nice lather to repair the damage done. I needed a lot of it!!


Finally, I tried to match the paint to the interior white I had on hand - I should have known I wouldn't be that lucky. I ended up hating it and resorting to buying a new color at Lowes. I chose "Sapphire Glow", which is one step darker than "Ice Rink Blue". I really like the final product - and now we have too much storage space!! Oh, the agony...

There is never such a thing as too much space in a closet. Hello-three babies crawling/walking, you need some where to put things UP UP UP! Also, to hide gifts from them,etc. Trust me- I wish we had more space like that! Nice!!
Don't get too girly on us with paint colors. ha ha
