House to Home Pt. 5

Posting about this project makes me laugh a little because it was the first project back in the fall that I was planning on starting in December (which would have been included in the Man Gift to My Wife Series). I had updated the Laundry Closet back in the fall and started drafting plans for doing the hall closet (which is now the “linen closet”). I drew out the plans for what I wanted to do and estimated the materials needed, but then the book sat on my night stand until a month ago. 

I had to chunk this project because I did not have the time all in one day to complete it, so I decided to do some framing here and then do some shelving there. Then come back and touch up a little here and finally paint a little there. 

So here are the project pictures. Enjoy them! There is still one more shelf that I would like to add, but we are not necessarily in a rush to put it in :)

And what's behind door #1?

A bunch of junk that has been piling up over the last year and some change.

Well all of that had to go for now...and then we were left with these...

But not for long!

Then it became time to frame out the first of the top shelves.

And then the side shelves.

Nailed tops on to the frames.

Always a good time when you can play with the compressor and nail gun.

Then after the bottoms were attached, it was necessary to caulk the gaps.

Of course, Logan had to come by and inspect the project after I put the faces on the shelves.

They withstood his rigorous shoving and pushing test.

The top shelf withstood the weight test.

They they got primed.

Then they got a nice coat of white.

And now we have started to put things back into the closet. It still needs the smaller higher up shelf, but that can wait until summer time. I think it's a lot nicer than what it was before!
