Making Lemonade/The Closet Makeover

 We had a bit of a crisis which forced us to completely clean out our closets.

We sorted through every piece of clothing we own. 

Anything that wasn't being worn was not going back into the space.

It seemed like a perfect time for a makeover.

The popcorn got scraped off of the ceiling.

We have one closet but our sides are separated by a big shelf that Bill made a few years ago.

 I thought about painting my side pink.

We share a long wall that is only open above the top shelf.  

Bill wouldn't be able to see much pink but any pink is too much.

  I've read that pink is hard to get right.

Barbie or bubble gum pink wouldn't have been an improvement.

 When thinking about how to deal with the back of the shelf, I thought about wallpaper.

We headed to Lowes for wallpaper and Home Depot for a chandelier.   

 
Fresh white paint touched up the edges of the shelves and covered the back of Bill's cabinet. 

I don't know if it will get wallpapered or not.

Off the shelf wallpaper covers the focal wall. 

I only kept what I think I'll actually wear but if something isn't getting worn, it is out of here. 
Bill called me a hoarder.
He was right but lightening the load feels amazing.

 

 Bill will hang the chandelier tomorrow and I'll have more photos for you. 

 Thank you for your prayers for us.

I'm trying to come up with a way to share what has been going on but I'm not sure it's a good idea to put it out on the blog. 

Our "bit of a crisis" was stressful but it has turned out to have some blessings as well. 

That's life, I think. 

Stop back by to see the chandelier. 

I'll also talk about some of the storage pieces.
