I have spent a good part of my break from work since Christmas decluttering and reworking my wardrobe. I have a small walk in robe all to myself - one of the perks of being a single lady. But even this was not sufficient to hold all my shoes, bags and clothes. Oh dear! I have had dreams ever since we moved here 3 years ago to rework the layout. After much thought and deliberation (over the said 3 year period) I decided something quick and easy is the way to go. Surely I could add a couple of extra shelves and hanging bars? How hard can it be? I have a drill, the Internet and ideas!!
Hmmm, a supposedly quick project took me 4 days and one of those included a lie down and cry. It also involved 7 trips to Bunnings - but we won't go into that. Suffice to say you should check that your drill is going forwards and not reverse. Sheesh, but I now feel accomplished in the tool department.
Anyway, the picture above is a sneak-peak of what I have done. The photo below is a before shot.
Sorry about the blurry iPhone shots but that is all I have for now. And you can't see much but where I had one hanging rail I now have 3. And extra shelves.
I have ordered a mirror tallboy to store my delicates and a matching chest of drawers for tops and gym gear. An ottoman was also purchased so that I can reach those top hangers. I will do a complete post when they all arrive. I am pretty excited. By the end of the year I hope to have lots of new made by me garments hanging there.
I am cleaning out the old and no longer loved and making room for life, fun and creativity.
