Master Closet Makeover

One of the great things about Fieldstone Homes is their big closets. There are walk in closets in every bedroom. The master closet is no exception. In fact, when we first looked at our house with our realtor, he showed us how we could run sprints in our closet for exercise. Thanks, Mitch. :)

While Dane was tearing out all of the closet shelving and replacing them, we decided to create a closet space that worked for us. Home Depot has a really cool tool that allows you to create custom closets. We entered our measurements and designed where we wanted rods, shelves, etc. Then instead of going to the store to buy the materials, we used what we had already bought and Dane put it together.

We each have 2 half size hanging rods. Is that what it's called? I don't even know.

Then we each have a full size hanging area with a shelf above.

Then there's center shelves for both of us which separate my side from his side. The one long shelf at the top is great for any extra storage. And we obviously don't have a hard time filling that up.

Here's Dane's side.

And the shoes are all at the end. Funny story, one of my first interactions with Dane was a BBQ he and his roommates threw when they first moved in. For some reason, my roommate and I welcomed ourselves to a tour of their place and saw one room with a TON of shoes on shoe racks. When we questioned them, Dane sheepishly said they were all his. He seriously has more shoes than I do. Although he has hardly bought any since we got married. Sorry, babe. :)

We brought our dresser into the closet because we got tired of having clothes two different places. And we had space for it.

So there you have it! There really isn't a whole lot of storage in our house besides the closets, so we have to stick other random things in our closets. Brooklyn's closet has all of the holiday decorations, Callie's closet has all of our kids clothes storage boxes, etc. Our garage is tight enough with 2 cars in it, we couldn't store much in there like we did in our last place. Thankfully, our bedroom closets are big!
