Another room adventure

Ever have a problem closet or none at all. This closet is the bane of our lives. Its a nice big closet. Its two rods deep which means there is a whole row of clothes BEHIND the first row. Ever try to mush hangers aside that are already jam packed against one another. Whatever you are thinking is correct. IMPOSSIBLE. And to further make things interesting these shelves were around the corner and empty because you could not get to them. Next came my favorite part of any job. Demolition. I love to tear things apart. Se we opened up the whole wall exposing the entire closet. I then built another wall and ceiling making the shape of the closet into an L. This will increase rod area and make all clothes accessible. I will try to stake claim to a little extra space for myself (wink wink). I added iron pipe rod, there will be no sagging under weight of our clothes. The closet was only a residual part of the project the main focus would be to transform the room into one that would make the room into Cait's own sanctuary. As you can see in the final photos that we succeeded. I was not sure about the paint color even if it as Cait's favorite color. But Donna pulled it off with her great sense of color by adding the new bed covering and finding the wall dots online. What a neat idea these vinyl sheets cling to the wall and are peelible to move easily. I also had to add a new circuit for the lights for the closet. We found this flexible track light and i added the new circuit with switch and woalla, lights!
Needless to say that we were all tired after three longs days of working on the room. But of course the look on Cait's face when she saw the room made it worthwhile.
