Closet Project

Jan./Feb. 2010~Well, we've always got a home
improvement project going. Our master bathroom
has been waiting it's turn for a couple years now.
While I was hoping to take the garden tub out and
replace it with a HUGE walk in tiled shower, Bernie
thought making our already walk-in closet even bigger
was a better idea....and hey, who can argue with that!
Actually, I think he was thinking drywall was cheaper
than tile! :) Anyway, with 'leftover' supplies from other
projects, we decided to tear into a new project!

Out comes the tub! No turning back now! Actually, we never
use the tub so it is wasted space for us. A bigger closet will be
much more functional.

It doesn't take long for Bernie to get the
new wall framed up and the new closet
starts to take shape.

Cade helps Bernie put up drywall. He's a
good helper!

With my teeth ordeal our project got put
on hold for a couple weeks. Bernie spent
many evenings after work getting all the
drywall up, taped, mudded and sanded.

Bernie and I spent the weekend painting
the inside of the closet and he got all the
shelving put up. Cade did a good job painting
some trim too.

What a nice space!!!! It won't take me
long to fill it up tho! :)

Our bedroom looked like this for almost a month!! Aaahh!
Sadly, this isn't even everything out of the closet!! Good
thing we made it bigger!

The closet is finally ready for everything to go back in. What
a great space! Everything has it's place.

The pictures just don't do justice to how
big the closet is now!! I teased Bernie it
would make a great scrapbook room!! :)

It is so nice to have such a handy husband!!
Any idea he can make happen! I'll give him
the credit on this one tho, the bigger closet
is awesome and much better than a big shower!
Now that the closet is done we're now working on
finishing the bathroom. I'll post before and after
pictures when we're all done.
