Closet Smashing

As much as I would like to work on my new house every day, I have a real job to attend to on the weekends. Oh, and I am 150 miles away. So fun projects have to wait for real life to get out of their way.

Before we bought the house, I'd only actually seen it once. And it was utterly full of crap. Furniture, games, a band, a Christmas tree, you name it. So I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do, and of course spent hours planning dreaming how it would look. The master closet was no exception. I built up this perfect storage system in my head that would make that little closet look so awesome.

Well, that's not gonna happen. Cause the closet is much, much smaller than I thought. 

Make sure you fully appreciate the duck boarder :)

It just so happens, exactly on the other side of that back closet wall, is another closet, a coat closet for the front door.

The dimensions were exactly the same. No load bearing walls. And a second closet in the living room can be used instead of the coat closet.  It was almost too easy. 


That door is bad. Yes, it is. 

By knocking down the existing wall between the closets, we more than doubled the space we have in the master closet. It was quick and easy to do. Very satisfying. 



Now all we have to do is patch the wall, redo the floor, and close off the old doorway to the old coat closet. It was a tremendously easy project to do.
