Master Bedroom Closet

Remember this list 2 posts ago?
 
"Today: Prep and paint the trim in the master bedroom, edge wall color
Tuesday: Paint the master bedroom; Finish priming the bed frame; work the nightshift
Wednesday: Sleep, then work again
Thursday: Sleep, then install the new fixings for our closet
Friday: Finish up whatever I didn't get done during the week
Saturday: Finish painting the bed frame, and our dining table; work the nightshift
Sunday: Sleep, then work again..."
 
Well now it looks more like this:
 
Today: Prep and paint the trim in the master bedroom, edge wall color
Tuesday: Paint the master bedroom; Finish priming the bed frame; work the nightshift
Wednesday: Sleep, then work again
Thursday: Sleep, then install the new fixings for our closet
Friday: Finish up whatever I didn't get done during the week
Saturday: Finish painting the bed frame, and our dining table; work the nightshift
Sunday: Sleep, then work again...
 
Yeah, almost done! (Saturday's list is actually being finished today...2+ weeks late...but whatever...we got everything else done on schedule!)
 
Here is the first post showing off that list's results...our master bedroom closet!
 
I had been wanting to rethink our closet for awhile because it just seemed inefficient and a waste of space. And it is rather small for a walk-in closet, so every inch needed to be used. And there's also the fact that I wanted to store more in the closet so we could get rid of Brandon's dresser. Hmm, tall order. Here is the inefficient-waste-of-closet-space before picture (nevermind the edges-we stitched pictures together for a wide-angle view)

So we took everything out...
...took out the closet bars and the top shelf (which revealed that the closet used to be painted lilac which forced us to paint the walls which made us think we might as well paint the trim too...)
...we raised the top closet bar, added another bar underneath to take advantage of every inch, and assembled a tall shelf for folded items...
...finally we added a peg board for accessories, covered all the remaining shelves with paper, and bought bins for seasonal clothes...voila!
 
Double closet bars, yellow and gray shelf paper, peg board for accessories
pull out pants rack, pull out wire basket for exercise clothes, plastic bins for seasonal gear
Don't you love organization? Have you completed any organization projects lately or have an organizational project in mind?
