Closet Reveal

 Happy Monday!! I hope you guys had a great weekend. Well I did show my little bench transformation last week, but today I'm revealing my closet. I have really purged my closet, I was known for being a clothes horse but that has changed with age. I'm no longer into the latest and greatest fashion trends; I prefer more classic pieces now.  Living in Chicago my closet is always in a constant rotation. I'm super thrilled to reveal it to you all.

 After the purge my clothes hang perfectly and is not overcrowded. I love these black felt hangers. 

 The new shelves provide extra space for my handbags I have stuffed my handbags to retain their shape.

                                                We installed the extra shelves for some much need storage.

                   The black lacquer jewelry box holds most of my earrings, and some bracelets.

This little pelican holds most of my bracelets and watches. Well I had to give him something to do.

                               
                                                  I have displayed some of my favorite photos.

           This black & white tray helps to keep my dresser top clutter free and organized.

 These hooks holds items that I used more frequently, scarves & belts while everything else is stashed away overhead in baskets.

                                    My husband and I trimmed the dresser with nail head in silver. I'll be posting more about that project soon.

                                                       My HomeGoods clearance bench steals the show.

 I like things to be out of sight, these baskets take care of that by storing my waist lets, clutches, hats, and scarves.

        I had some left over nail head  & wallpaper so I decided to use it on this shoe box.

                   I adore the metallic sheen on these baskets, they add the glam effect.

I'm totally in love with my closet. 

That's my closet, finished, done, that's it. Well actually I was thinking about changing the rug.

I'll be posting about some of the projects I did to complete my closet. 

                   I'm partying today over at www.remodelaholic.com come join the party.



     

My Closet Redesign

How was your weekend? Mine was a good one, the weather was a little bit warmer so I was able to get out and run some errands and of course do a little shopping.  I have been working on my closet/dressing room for a while now. I've been holding out on showing the  project to you all because I have not been able to pull all the accessories together to get it complete.  I believe that a well organized closet is a must. It also assists me in being organized in other area of my life. I'm close to showing you guys my final reveal so hold on. Today I have decided to show the first part of the redo and the wallpaper. So here we go.

 I fell in love with the closets in our house when I first saw it; well my husband fell in love with the backyard. Each bedroom closet has beautiful built in dressers which are spacious & deep. I appreciated that I would not have to purchase dressers for the bedrooms since that were already built into the closets.   Here is a before look of my closet,. I really hate to open this door to let you in.

OK step on in 

I only have one shelf for storage

My closet lacked accurate shelves for storage, the walls had no color and it needed to be organized.
After bringing my husband on board to help with this project we he installed new shelves from Lowes. We also gave the walls a fresh coat of grey paint.
                                                                  

                          
The new shelves provided space for my purses and shoes up top.We also got a new pole for my clothes.  Since this closet is mine I wanted to design a closet that would be girly and glam. No surprises you all know I'm addicted to black & white. I wanted to accent one wall so I decided on this wallpaper from Lowes Allen & Roth.

 I fell in love with this classic print. It's black & white of course with tones of silver, I smile every time I see it.
                                                      

  I have never installed wallpaper before but after YouTube,Google searches and checking blogs here she is my wallpaper all hung and stunning. Thank GOD for pre pasted wallpaper.
