Grace's Closet

Things are about to get very real around here.

Be warned, if you have a weak stomach, look away.


I know...terrible isn't it?  This closet, in Grace's room, is both her closet and where my husband keeps his massive collection of tee shirts {they would be pared down already if I thought he wouldn't notice}.

We decided, Grace's closet was in DESPERATE need of a makeover.


As if you needed more proof, right?

So my handy husband built not just one custom shelving unit for her closet 

 But two!


And, she'll even have her own custom shoe rack.


If you are questioning if that disastrous closet can be transformed.  Let me just remind you what the master bedroom closet looked like.


And what it looks like now.


There is hope.

  17. I hate to admit it, but my closet looks like that. I need a makeover, there is just one high rod, with a shelf over it that I can't reach. Hmmm, maybe I could do something like that!! Great idea, and I know Grace's closet will turn out as fabulous as yours did. That little pair of shoes is so sweet~~for some reason, tiny little shoes just melt my heart!

  18. I have to tell you something...
    Something that I think every time I go to comment on one of your posts...
    You are SO LOVED!
    I NEVER MAKE IT INTO YOUR TOP 3 COMMENTS...
    That shows me how closely others follow you...
    How much your posts inspire them...
    And how missed you would be in the blogging world if you ever decided to leave (please don't leave me!)...

    You are loved!

    Ok, now onto my comment for this post...

    I wish I was Grace. To have a closet with a special show rack at her age (well, at any age really!) is a girls dream.

    Can't wait to see the finished closet!

    Hugs :)
