Closet overhaul A Work In Progress.

I am in the process of overhauling my closet.  This is going to take some time.  I have already performed 2 rounds of purging.  I am by no means finish with this overhaul but so far this is what I am left with.

The first few pics are from the orginal state of my master closet before I did any purging. 

Phase 1:

 

 

Ok, Don't judge my mess.  LOL

 

 

 

The next few pics is a quick look at my closet a few months after the first purge.  

 

 Phase 2:

Shoe Racks

 

 

 



Scarves on Huggable Hangers Pant Bar

 



 

Phase 3:  I will purge some more.  I will separate the short and long sleeve tops and group by color.  I have already separated the long pant/jeans from the capris.  May add a few more shelves for shoes.  The tub with the green top above has most of my summer shoes in it.  I would love to get them all out.  

 

I actually made a video but for some reason, I can not get it to upload.  I will continue to try and solve the problem. 

 

Thanks for reading my blog and as always 1LOVE.  Have a wonderful day.

About my blogs.

I will blog on past renovations, current and future projects.  Successful and failed attempts.  Products I've tried and feel was not worth the  money and those that was well worth every penny. I have learned that sometimes you just should spend a little more money to get the look and quality you want.

I have tried some many products to accomplish the same job.  Sometimes I did not do enough research and sometimes the perfect product comes out after you have tried other products that did not work for you.  I have learned when I want to do a project to do the research on available products/material then wait several months before purchasing the material to do my project.  It has never failed that once I purchase the material something new and sometimes better comes out. 

I have very good intentions.  Never the less, I also have a long list of project that I have started but did not complete.  So I am making a list of all my projects and by the end of the year all will be completed.  I will blog each and every one of them.  I will list them all in my next blog.  Stay tune and stay in touch.  Comments and questions are always welcome.

I have been in my house 13 years and have not really done any major updates. A couple of years ago, I decided to pull up all the carpet and replace with laminate flooring.  I went through 4 different products before I finally found the one that I really like and works for me.  It is easy to install.  I replaced the flooring in the living room and hall twice, in the 3 bedrooms once, however in the master bedroom, I ended up putting down flooring that is completely difference from the other bedrooms and the living room and hall.  I found this product/flooring at home depot. 

Master Bedroom after carpet is taken up

I wished I had found this product before I installed the living room and hall flooring the first time.  Click this link for the flooring:  http://www.homedepot.com/Flooring-Vinyl-Flooring-Resilient-Flooring-Resilient-Vinyl-Planks/h_d1/N-5yc1vZbzjz/R-202075773/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&storeId=10051

It was so easy to put down.  My floor was even so there was only vacumming the subfloor as my prep work, after taking up the carpet.  Oh yea, make sure all the carpet staples are removed from the subfloor.  All you need is a box cutter and a straight edge as a guide.  When you need to cut a plank just line up with the area, determine where you need to cut, score it on the back of the plank and then snap into.  Just lay the plank down and connect the adhesive strips. If you need to take up a strip to reposition or replace, just use a blow dryer on the strip and pull up.  So easy.  I wish I had taken pictures of the installation.  When I replace the living room and hall, I will show you how easy it is to install.   Below are the pictures of my bedroom from being to the finished product.

The flooring is a fraction of the cost of hardwood but gives the look of hardwood.  I am so in love with this flooring. 

Please ignore all the extra stuff laying around that I had not put away before taking the pictures. 


I hope you enjoyed this blog.  Leave a comment and let me know what you think of the blog and the flooring.  I have decided to blog the other floor installations, the results and how I feel about them.  Please stay tuned or come back.
