Quick and easy closet transformation
My hubbie had some free time this weekend and decided he was going to create some extra storage space in his closet. You can only imagine how very happy this made me and NO I didn’t put him up to it because I totally know that is what you were thinking wasn’t it?? Okay I might have said a quiet little prayer that it sure would be nice if hubbie could find a more acceptable solution for the pile of clothing that had slowly taken up residence beside the bed. And wouldn’t you know it, out came the saw and drill and voila. How do you like this for answered prayer?

Nothing says “I love you” like an extra shelf in a closet. That man of mine, he speakith my language!!
I can’t believe all those clothes were just laying up there on that big tall shelf all messy like that and you had not put them in bins! Love the new shelf though. Hooray for your hubby!
What a good hubbie! SO who tidied up all his clothing afterwards….you or him? lol
Wow! It looks fantastic!!! :)
It looks really great. We have 2 shelves in ours and it still looks awful. He does speak your language gal….
He did the entire thing. I’m pretty good about leaving his space alone but it sure isn’t easy…lol.
My sweetie needs a few language lessons. I am glad that after some coaxing he did help me with the big stuff on my Tackle it Tuesday feat last week. :)
I am green with envy. I’ve been hinting for extra shelving for years. I’ll just have to come here and look at the picture once in a while and sigh.
Now there’s a man who knows how to keep his woman happy, huh?
I have to admit that I’m practically drooling over your extra shelf. I would love some more of those! However, I’m also feeling pretty good about getting a small chest-of-drawers moved into my closet over the weekend to house some of the baby things!
That’s awesome. Our closet is looking that way as well. I don’t have a dresser of my own, so ALL of my clothes are in the closet somehow! And so I may take this little idea and use it!
Yay for hubby! I love sheves!
I’m a lurker but I just had to say… “WHAT A MAN!!”
Hi Laura — I love it when my hubby does extra things around the house too! And nothing like a “honey-do” getting checked off the list :)

I LOVE the extra shelf!
Have I mentioned that I lust after your container collection? I want to be like you when I grow up.
So cute of him! I’m just happy you are happily married because my hubby would LOVE you and your organizing ways!
I have a couple closets you can come and organize for me if you want LOL
Me too, Me too – LOL – more closet shelves are always good. What a nice hubby – mine is better at creating the disorganization than the solutions….guess that’s his talent, LOL.
I cant have a closet like that no matter how much i try. I have tonnes of clothes and not enough place to accommodate them. SO no matter how much i try to keep that tiny lil closet of mine tidy, it gets piled up and dirty in no time. I wonder when will i have a bigger cupboard!
I put up a shelf like that (while hubby was on business trip) in our coat closet. Top: vaccum accessories, cowboy hats, box of hubby’s hats. Lower: box of my hats, another box of hubby’s hats.
Dextress, if you can’t thin your wardrobe, then expand your closet.. Fling your puffy sweaters into a bin underneath a nearby table. Make-like a rummage sale for your jeans in another bin. Screw hooks on the door frames for belts/scarves/purses. Stick a dresser or half of one in the closet.. voila- instant “shelves” w/ privacy for unmentionables.
