project closet

so, besides unpacking and organizing the house, we have been tackling our master bedroom's closet.  it is a nice sized walk-in but needed some love.  the paint was scuffed and dingy, the trim was the original dark wood and the previous owners had rigged up a belt holder by putting nails into a board at the back wall.  i wanted to paint the walls, trim, shelves and rods and then organize it all up.  i didn't get a good before picture of it empty, but here is a picture of it when we toured the house for the first time, so it has the previous owners' stuff in it:

brown, woody, ugly

 so these are the pictures after we painted and removed the bi-fold doors.  we decided the doors serve no purpose for us and it looks better without them.

nice and crisp and modern

with the doors removed

 the closet is not completely done yet, this is the in-progress shot.  most of the clothes and things have been moved in now, but i still want to organize the clothing, shoes, accessories.  so i'm on a mission for some closet organizing stuff right now.  and i'm going to change out the light fixture to something more modern and fun.  oh, and the color i chose is valspar's trade secret:

so, that's the progress so far until i can either get to the store or order the things that i need to finish.  it's hard with the limited time i have since i am under the command of this cutie:

in the meantime, i am on to painting the closet that will soon be a pantry:
