Every girl's dream is to have a big spacious, organized walk-in closet. When
we bought our home, I was more than a little excited that our new master
bedroom had a walk-in. However, it quickly became cluttered and overflowing,
leaving little to be excited about. When my friends and I recently decided to
do
stencils as our Monthly DIY Challenge, it inspired me to finally give the closet a little attention and turn it
into the pretty space I had daydreamed about!

In case you missed the ugly "before" shot in my post about
how to stencil the closet wall, here's a little glimpse:
It needed more than a little help! (I almost forgot to take a "before" photo,
so imagine a little more junk piled on the shelves!)
Here's my closet makeover To Do List...
1.
Stencil feature wall
2. Paint walls
3. Reconfigure shelving to make room for dresser
4. Paint jewelry armoire and dresser
5. Install
new lighting
6. Get organized by using baskets, bins, or boxes
7. Find pretty accessories!
I wanted the space to feel roomy and organized and to be girly and pretty :)
It might seem silly to have a pretty closet that nobody else will ever see,
but this Momma is sooooo happy to have my own little feminine space in the
house! Every girl deserves a little glam in her life, right?!
Oh, and don't worry, there are two other closets in our bedroom, so hubby
didn't mind too terribly much that I kicked him out of this one! ;)
Alright, ready to see it?!?!?! Ahhhh! I'm so thrilled with how it all turned
out!
I previously hated the ugly
wire shelving
that was in the closet, but I decided instead of spending money on new
shelving, I would somehow make it work. It turned out that it actually looked
a million times better once the walls were painted and the stencil was done.
The grey and white made the white shelving pop!
I wanted to make the closet feel more spacious and make room for a dresser, so
my husband helped me cut the existing shelving down into smaller sections
using a
hack saw.
To make it feel bigger, we also removed the door. This enabled me to make use
of the wall space behind the door and hang a full length mirror.
Can we just talk about that rug for a minute? (Where's the heart eyes emoji
when you need it?!) It's the
Loloi Phoebe rug from hayneedle.com, and pictures do not even do it justice. I wanted a pretty rug for this
space, but I wasn't expecting something so plush and comfortable! I could
seriously curl up and take a nap on this thing! It's amazing!
To get myself organized, I found these affordable cardboard storage boxes at
Ikea. I used them to store things like belts, scarves, gloves, etc.
That beautiful
Livex Brighton light fixture
is also from
hayneedle.com. It's a finishing touch that really helped pull together my vision for the
space. I think the drum shade adds to the girly feel I was looking for!
To organize my jewelry, I turned my
DIY pegboard jewelry storage
on it's side to fit the new location better. I found that jewelry tree on the
right at Homegoods. I think I found the little bird jewelry stand at Michaels
a few years back, and the
glass ring holder
was given to me as a gift when we got engaged.
We had been talking about buying an extra dresser for our room for a while,
but then I remembered I still had an old dresser I used in college. It
actually used to be a baby changing table dresser. My mom gave it to me to use
in college, and I took the table part off and painted it brown. It's been
sitting in our garage for a while now, so this was the perfect opportunity to
give it new life with a fresh coat of paint and some new
pretty knobs!
This view below has got to be my favorite part of the whole makeover. I
gave my old jewelry armoire a major update (tutorial coming soon), and I love
how it stands out against the stencil wall. The
Howard Elliott scalloped mirror
from
hayneedle.com is the perfect size to sit above it and the shape works so perfectly
with the
Moroccan stencil pattern.
I seriously could not be more pleased with how it turned out! My ugly closet
is now a beautifully organized space!
