Little Girl’s Room Makeover Reveal!

 

There is nothing better than a finished projet.  I am so excited that we have made it to reveal week and I can show you the end results of a ton of hard work in my small, formerly unorganized master walk in closet.

 

The painting you guys, it was a killer. It took so much longer than I expected and took so much more paint than expected, so you will notice that only the main section is painted. I don’t love the layout of the other closet sections, nor do I use them as much, so they were not my main focus. One day down the line I would like to gut this closet, so I didn’t want to put any time or money into areas that may not stay in the long run!

So if you don’t remember where we started, here are some before photos.

A giant, unorganized mess with a hodge podge of baskets. I saw this quote on Facebook this week and it just really stuck with me. It is so so true. Until you truly get rid of all the stuff, it will never be organized.

And the afters!

(Between the weird, small shape of the room and no natural light, these pictures are not my best. They are a little grainy! 🙂 )

I got rid of a ton of jewelry and i love the faux marble shelf I added here. All of my hair products are now corralled in this pretty clear and gold chevron container and I love this little gold wooden basket for holding miscellaneous items. The quote in the picture frame is one of my favorites and I love having this in my closet as a reminder first thing in the morning. I had all of the other items and just had to purchase the gold bowl.

The green baskets work great for the items I have most of so that I don’t have to dig through the entire basket to find what I need. The metal crates are perfect for my legging collection and the clear acrylic basket holding my tank tops is actually a bin repurposed from my fridge!

The huggable velvet hangers made the hanging area look so much more cohesive and gives my clothes more room. I already had a pack of these so I only had to purchase one additional 35 pack. I have 70 total so I made a deal with  myself that whatever didn’t fit on these hangers, had to go! 70 seems like so many but when you start hanging your clothes up, you realize how many pieces of clothing you truly have!  I organized items by color, but I am not loving that so far, so we will see how long I keep them this way.

Dresses and skirts are on the back part of the closet and I love these skirt hangers! I have a pencil skirt problem! I could probably purge this area just a little more and will work on that in the upcoming weeks. I used the green and purple velvet hangers I had already in this area so that I didn’t have to purchase any more.

The back of the closet now houses my bracelets and shoes that I don’t wear on a daily basis. The bottom lidded basket has my winter stuff, gloves, scarves and hats. The wooden shelf on the wall holds my clutches and the upper clear bin is another fridge bin!

Light number 2 was a success (the first one wasn’t safe) and I love the pretty glow it puts on the ceiling! Much better than the dangling lightbulb I had originally! And to top the area off, a fuzzy pink carpet that makes the space extra girly and gives my feet a comfy spot to stand on while getting ready! At $20, it was a bit of a splurge when you only have $100, but I love the touch it adds, so it was definitely worth it!

Phew! This master closet revamp was a lot more work and mess than I expected but I am thrilled with the results! I just need to keep this organization up for the long run!

    That has to be the best feeling. I really need to makeover my closet. It’s a wreck. You really made the most of the space while keeping it pretty. I especially like the marble shelf. So pretty.

    I organize my blouses/shirts by the amount of fabric; i.e, the skimpy tank tops come first, then sleeveless/collarless, then sleeveless but with collar, then with short sleeves but collarless, then short sleeves but with a collar, etc. I started this years ago when I worked in a store where we displayed tops this way. It has really worked for me.
    I like how you have added pretty touches such as the light fixture – even in a closet 🙂

      That’s a great idea Dina!! I will have to try that organization method because I am not loving the color method!! Thank you, the little touches really make it feel more “me” !

    Oh my goodness, I need to take some serious lessons from you- this turned out great! I’ve started mine about a year ago but never finished. It just looks so overwhelming, but you totally knocked it out of the park! Great job!

    Yay for an organized space! Love how you created the jewelry area. And the light you ended up with is gorgeous (and safe, so win-win 🙂 ). Thanks for joining in another round of the challenge!

    This looks so neat and organized and you did a fantastic job! I love that pink rug too – it was definitely worth the $20 to give your toes something fun and girly to step on. All those baskets and bins are perfect for a closet – it’s making me want to run out and get some new baskets!!
