Bathroom Closet Makeover

Now that we're done with painting both of the bathrooms, it's on to the cabinets.  Our master bath doesn't have a closet or anything in it, so this hall bath closet is it.  I didn't get a shot of the cabinet doors on, Daniel was too fast at taking them off!  We had three cabinet doors and one of those laundry slots you dump your clothes into.  The laundry slot was really a big waste of space.  Whoever put this cabinet in had built it ahead of time and slid it into the wall space.  Well when Daniel took out all of the cabinets we gained a few inches of extra space on the sides and back. Space we needed!  

We decided to put in the adjustable metal shelving so we could change the shelves up if we ever wanted to.  Daniel worked hard to put in the bi-fold door and trim and today we finally got everything together. Sometime in the near future Daniel is going to tile the floor since the cabinet base had covered the concrete underneath, and he'll have to give the door a coat of paint.  But so far we're loving it!

Before (the cabinet doors looked just like the ones under the sink)

All the wood is gone!

Daniel had to screw these pieces into the studs to hold the rails for our shelves

Ta-da! Organized and everything fits so much better! And there's even one more shelf up top that my camera couldn't see!

The finished look!

That looks so good. I know you are going to love the extra space. You can never have too many shelves and places to hide (I mean put)things.
