I have been working on a few large projects lately. I finally got around to getting one of those semi-done. I say that because of course nothing I do is ever fully finished because I love change and finding new ways to dress up different rooms through out my home. This room was actually my office/craft room before. However, things changed. We live in a large house with 2 extra bedrooms we don't use so we turned them into a sort of his and hers office. The closets are pretty small because it is an older home and I had clothes, shoes, and dressers scattered in almost every room because of the lack of space. I was tired of going from room to room to find anything. The fact that the closets were so full drove me nuts. I finally decided that because I work now and the basement is slowly but surely getting transformed into a family room I figured that I could eventually put all the crafts down there and have a desk for the kids. I wanted a clean space, so I had my husband build a closet in my once office/craft room. Oh, how much I love being able to have all of my clothes in one room. I tried to make it a little stylish with some things I had but eventually I would like to paint the walls and doors, put in a chandelier light, and eventually have all the same colored hangers. LOL. I know that may take a bit. For now it works and it was less that 200 dollars.
Someday I'd like to collect enough white hangers so that they may all match but for now I used the large quantity of rainbow colors that I had. ; )
The desk was originally red that I had bought from Target last winter. I decided to paint a few different shades of blue over it and dry brush it with white for a beachy feel. * no real wood was hurt for this project. : )
My bookshelves full of my books, arts, special photos, handmade trinkets, and knickknacks of my favorite things.

    I am wanting to do this to a spare bedroom in my house; where do you get the bars and elbows to connect to the wall?!? Or what are they called? Love how it looks.

    Looks great but be sure to protect your clothing from sun damage. I did this and everything became bleached on one side! Use UV film on the windows or black them out all together and install great lighting.

      I hung cling film in my closet window and it’s UV blocking. It was super easy to put up. I measured my window panes and then cut the film. I followed the directions: clean the glass and dry, wet a cloth with warm soapy water, peel the backing off the film and put it on the prepped pane, squeegee with something like a credit card (I used a spent gift card), wipe all of the excess soapy water, and voila! I think it’s by “Rabbitgoo.”
