So over a month ago I decided to join the DIY Bloggers in their summer challenge. I failed at completing the project on time, but eventually it did get finished. I think I managed to have it at 98% by two weeks past the original date. I still have some sewing to do at the top, but here it is-in all it's glory...
My closet is now a place of inspiration for me. I'm not the best photographer, so maybe this picture doesn't do it justice, but I love the combination of gold, hot pink, and tomato red. The white molding just pops, although I can see it sort of clashes with my off-white dresser a bit. I finally have a shelf to keep my purfume bottles and earrings up away from my little explorer's hands. I did leave some items on a tray though that he can get into. I have a case filled with plastic bead necklaces, big ol' shiny plastic rings and braclets, and bright sunglasses that he loves to play dress up with me.
Some "in-progress" pics:
It's very important to have a "spotter" in case you miss something:
My first time painting stripes on my walls! More Pinterest inspiration for that:
I painted the shelves as well and installed contact paper on the tops:
I'm so happy with the result!
