Countertop, Backsplash and Closet

It’s been a whole 3 days since my last update and oh my, some great updates!

First off, we got to work on those awful closets.  Now it’s hard to get pictures properly of the new master closet since the door is in the middle of the wall.  I need some of those magic disappearing TV walls.

We emptied out our old closet…

…and bought some wood racks from Lowe’s.    Really glad we splurged instead of using wire racks.

To the right from the door:

I love that Scott has his uniform area there to the right.  That’s what used to hang in our tiny laundry room.

To the left:

 

Please ignore my pile o shoes and that green container of boots will be GONE.  Update on my shoes below.  I LOVE that all my clothes are out of boxes and organized without fighting to get something out.

Last night after our adoption training Scott bought the wood and created my shoe rack and one for the girls in our old closet where they are moving.  I stained it this morning and polyurethaned it tonight.  I’m pretty sure I broke a few staining timing rules but I couldn’t wait!

Look!  Look!

 

Holy cow.  Is that not fantastic?  I got rid of 7-8 pairs of shoes and Scott was able to grab two rows at the very top for his shoes too!

Now we are still not done with this closet.  We’re still planning to put a small dresser under that window.  The plan is to get rid of our big dresser in the bedroom and have a seating area instead of having a big dresser.  I’m going to love having all my stuff in one room!

OK, so that’s not it.  The countertop and backsplash got done on Friday.  Scott put in the faucets.  And we are STILL waiting on our doors and drawers from our cabinet guy.

Now all that’s left is the shower doors and mirrors that should be in by the first of next week!
