This downstairs entry way slash bottom of our stairs coat closet was a bit of a complicated space. We used it as a coat closet for a while but then it sort of became a throw it all in kinda closet.

It got ignored for a while too, a couple of years in fact. Now that the entry way face lift has been in progress, it meant the surrounding areas needed to get some love too.

Thoughts of making it a doggy retreat crossed our minds, or adding a sitting bench to make it functional, that we even considered taking it out completely but that soon went out the window when eventually we realized we didn't have much of a downstairs storage area for our EXTRAS. Our consistently used On-The-Go items, such as pool items, dog leashes & accessories, exercise equipment, sports gear, seasonal items, and kitchen necessities like paper towels, bathroom tissue paper, etc. The kind of stuff we would normally have to store in our garage that is detached from our town home, which makes it slightly inconvenient. So in reality we could really use more of a storage closet, period.

This year I am committed to completing most of our small projects and I knew that this would be one of them.  Finally. I started to browse to try and to come up with the best, easiest and budget friendly solution possible.  One day I was in Home Depot looking at their rugs but who am I kidding, I'm there pretty often anyway and in that same department or isle area was closet storage solutions. I took a look, made some mental notes and I knew I had found what I was looking for. Of course I held back and did not buy everything right away. But I knew that once we were financially ready and willing, having written the best option for this closet and detailed costs, I would eventually be back to get the items I needed to get started.Well that day has come, finally.

Head over to the blog for how this once entry way closet became a much needed and functional storage closet!
