The Fancy Pants and Another Gorgeous Closet Makeover

Posted on August 9, 2011 by Roeshel

Yesterday’s closet makeover was beautiful and today I’m sharing another. Because if yesterday didn’t convince you to get organized and creative, you’ll need to see another. It can be done! This beauty makeover is by M.D. at

Closet (room!) before was white. Stark. Uninteresting.

Now with a little DIY power and thrifty treasures, it’s a girl’s dream closet:

Love the gallery wall with Audrey and silhouettes (shown above).

Organization!

Glamorous! I do have an empty room. I’m torn. Craft room. Office. Guess room. Dressing room?! If I keep seeing these dream-come-true closet makeovers, I might be able to make a decision!

M.D., thanks so much for linking up your beautiful closet before and after to the DIY Project Parade! You did a fantastic job! It’s stunning!

Master Closet Dream Makeover

Posted on August 8, 2011 by Roeshel

Meet: Abbie from

She’s the girl behind this gorgeous dreamy closet makeover you’re about to see but here’s a little more about her as well:

“We are incurable DIYers and built 95% of our house ourselves (framing, siding, floors, windows, paint, plumbing, electical…EVERYTHING; air-conditioning and kitchen cabinetry were about the only things we didn’t do, and that’s because we bartered services for them : )), and the closet is no exception with lots of fun details like a built-in shoe shelf, custom cubbies and a built-in laundry chute (yes, my hubby’s amazing!). “

Now, onto the closet. Warning: You’re going to be green with envy.

Before

(Confession: My closet looks worse than Abbie’s before and it’s a built-in 1927 size. Waaahh.)

First step, empty!

After lots of DIY, now it’s…

GORGEOUS!

Reminder: Close your mouth.

Another glance at the details, definitely framed mosaic worthy:

This was the $5 chandelier before:

Now it has so much charm. Unbelievably the same one!

I think if my closet was this organized, I’d remember everything I own (share that problem?). Organized accessories, shoes, jewelry, clothes.

I know there’s a napkin in here somewhere for the “drool”…

And that’s only a sneak peek. You have to see all of the details, DIY and great thrifty finds that went into this beautiful before and after. Check it out at ABBIE’S CLOSET MAKEOVER BEFORE AND AFTER.

Abbie…this is such an inspiration and so amazing! I don’t have a closet this size, but I do have an extra room right now. Seriously inspired to turn it into a dressing room. You’ve done an outstanding job! Thank you so much for “showing off”! I.Love.Every.Detail!

What do you guys think? Envious? Inspired? Does your closet look this dreamy?

Isn’t this entire chalkboard wall fabulous?!

and best of all, an unbelievable budget! See HERE for the original post with all of the details.

Bathroom before leaves a little to be desired, maybe even a lot…

But now, it’s beautiful! They put up beadboard, installed new wood floors, a new sink, cabinet, faucet and light fixture. They added a new door and refinished that gorgeous claw foot tub. They wallpapered, textured and painted it a warm yellow. Lack of any natural lighting affects the picture color, but you can still see that their hard work paid off BIG from the pictures below:
