project linen closet

One of the very first things I couldn’t wait to makeover was our master bath linen closet. This project actually wasn’t difficult at all... could easily be done in a day. The most challenging part of all was finding the perfect sized, perfectly colored, perfectly priced baskets to go inside. The only tools I used were (1) a screwdriver, (2) a wood chisel, and (3) a hammer. Doesn’t get much simpler than that! And now for the photographic step-by-step...

{start with an awkward looking/impractically sized closet}

{preferably one that is yet to be painted white on the inside... this is sure to result in a more dramatic transformation =) }

{Using the screwdriver, remove hinges/door then use a wood chisel to pry the wooden strip off the door frame (fyi I used a chisel instead of a crowbar to keep from denting the door frame). Another word to the wise: Do all this before you paint. We didn’t, thus adding an unnecessary step...}

{using spackling compound, we filled, then sanded in the indentions on the inside of the door frame... 2 coats of paint later, they were looking good as new}

{see!?}

{after}

{can you believe it used to look like this!?}

{i also got a little tag-happy and labeled everything}

 {you know you’re a product junkie when lotions and sprays get their own basket}
