The Closet Before

Alright friends, I need to warn you before you read another word.

What you are about to see may transform you into a total and complete makeover mood because I am about to show you some very serious before pictures. The before to end all befores. The before so bad you won’t look at before pictures the same way again.

I’m about to show you our master closet. It needs a complete makeover and boy is it going to get one.

This closet is a pretty large size, about six by four with a nine foot ceiling. I actually wanted us to have our bedroom where this closet is because of the closet’s lovely size. It has lots of space and room for hanging things on each side so I figured it would be great for his and hers.

Are you ready for some closet goodness?

Here you go. Thankfully I hid the unmentionables before I took this.

Oh gosh, I’m so embarrassed. Please still be my blog readers!

This closet has paneling, holes in the plaster, cracks in the walls, you name it. It’s just screaming for a makeover.

What you’ll also find here is cedar board. Raise your hand if you have cedar board in your home.

Crickets.

Right. Nobody has this stuff, but lucky us.

Apparently if you sand it the cedar fragrance will come out, but I’m not about to touch it except with a wrecking bar.

I’ll just keep talking in between the photos so you glance over them quickly.

Here is the ceiling. Yes we’ve been living here for a year 🙁

Wait, a close up. Yes that’s crumbling plaster in our old house and some old wallpaper thrown in.

And I want to show you the wallpaper that is partially peeled off.

OK, it’s over. No more horrible pictures of the closet.

It’s getting a total redo. New walls, paint, shelves, hanging space, and a pretty ceiling if we can swing it {or decide on it}.

But this closet before story has a happy ending …. We started demo last night.
