Closet Changes

I mentioned before that we had a big closet project going on. There were times I wanted to pull my hair out, but it's done and I am LOVING the finished product!

I have some pictures to share of the process. Honestly, I can't believe that I'm showing  y'all these before pictures. They are b-a-d and I'm ashamed of how cluttered and messy it was. Just keepin' it real though.

The hot mess that was the "before"
I don't think that my side was near as bad as my husbands side...but who am I kidding?! This place was a wreck.

I may or may not have cried when we were 3/4 of the way through the clean out process and my bed looked like this.
The scary part is that the guest bedroom looked ten times worse.

Hi, my name is Faith, and, I'm a hoarder.

Now, we're getting somewhere!
The closet system from The Container Store was such a breeze to put up. I was really was surprised at how quickly it all went together.  Everything is off the floor and we actually have room to walk around and get dressed in there now. Gasp!
We were able to design it to fit our needs perfectly. We now have short hang space, long hang space, gliding shoe shelves for heels and for flats, gliding drawers, shelf space, etc. One of my favorite things is the jewelry drawer. I love all the dividers for earrings and necklaces. So fun!
And, another little goody is the valet rod. Perfect for laying out an outfit the night before =)
We had a little house guest this weekend who loved the new closet design and made herself right at home. I walked in to find this in an empty drawer.


Now that our closet is done, I'm ready to tackle the rest. Organizing can be addicting...or is that just me?!

**we were not compensated in any way by the container store. I just wanted to share how awesome I think their products are and that I would definitely recommend them!**

  1. crazy how much bigger your closet looks now! and, if it makes you feel any better, i'm a bit of a clothes hoarder, too. in fact i still have clothes from my pre-pregnancy days with libbi (um....three years ago!) that i probably couldn't even fit over my right leg and they're still hanging in my closet. a girl can dream, right?
    love all your container store stuff!!
