Master Closet Makeover Reveal....

Okay ya'll....

I think I'm finally ready to show you my closet makeover!
This was such a big project, and one that I am so glad to finally have it behind me!
If you have missed any of the posts leading up to this reveal, you can check them out here, here, & here

Before I show you all the new & improved Master Bedroom Closet, let's first 
look back at where we started...
 A drab closet, with zero organization, a narrow walk-way, mismatched hangers....
 Two different shoe racks, an outlet that had never been finished....
 On the back of the door...scarfs, purses, necklaces, & is that a wedding dress?!
Oh yeah, and the door had never been trimmed out!
Functional dresser which housed the hubby's t-shirts & shorts, but lacked in cuteness!

And after a little bit of purging, some painting, & a whole lot of elbow grease,
This is what are closet looks like now....

The dresser got a fresh coat of paint & new glass knobs...
And every newly made over room deserves some fresh flowers for its big reveal, right?!

New shelving installed for shoes & storage containers....
These shelves were originally in my dad's garage. He wasn't using them anymore, so he gave them to me for my closet makeover! Isn't he a good Dad?! He even installed them for me. I just gave them a fresh coat of paint to match the rest of the decor.
I cutesified (that's a word, right?!) the top shelf with things that I already had around the house....
I just mod podged some scrapbook paper to these shoe boxes & got the "Keep Calm & Carry On" printable here. The frame I already had on hand. 

The pink tub was in our laundry room before it had its makeover. It was originally a cream color & I just gave it a couple coats of pink spray paint & then added the word "Miscellaneous" to it using my Cricut machine.

I also utilized my Cricut machine to make labels for our new storage baskets as well....

I love that the new shelving is large enough to accommodate both mine & my hubby's shoes.
So much better than the mismatched shoe racks we were using before! I'm also loving
the fact that they are off the floor!



I love the stenciling on the wall....even though it took a little bit of work, I think it was totally worth it! 
I think it really "makes" the space!

The white storage totes were purchase at Walmart. They were $5.00 a piece.

The chalkboard above the dresser is actually made from a mirror that I bought at Goodwill for $5.00. 
I will be posting a tutorial on it later this week.

The mirror was something I already had on hand. I just painted it to match everything else & hung it on the wall. I needed a place to store my necklaces (they used to be on the back of the door with everything else), so I purchased these wooden oval medallion things at Hobby Lobby for just 50 cents a piece, painted them, & had my Dad attach the glass knobs to them to hang the necklaces from....



I couldn't find a chandelier at any of our local thrift stores, so I splurged on this cute little lamp at Hobby Lobby. It was originally $60.00, but I got it 50%, so I paid $30.00 for it. I like the way it ties in with the glass knobs on the dresser & those that are now holding my necklaces.

I purchased this little wooden tray at Hobby Lobby for $2.50, painted it white & then mod podged a piece of scrapbook paper to the bottom to add some color. It holds all of my bracelets. The little glass perfume bottles were some my mom had laying around, that I just added to the tray to add some cuteness!

Sorry for all of the million tulip pics...I kinda love them, so I had to get pics from every angle :)

After two trips to Goodwill, we minimized on the amount of clothing that filled this closet. We also switched to all white hangers to give make the space a little more unified.
Now that the shelving is off the right wall, it definitely opens up the space as well.

The scarfs stayed on the back of door. I just got rid of all the other stuff that was on there, so that the hangers are used for scarfs only now. My dad also trimmed out the door along with the rest of the closet! 


And that pretty much wraps up the tour folks!!

Hope you enjoyed my new little space as much as I'm enjoying it! 

And believe it or not, even though the closet has a definite feminine feel to it....my hubby kinda likes it too!!

Shhhh...don't tell! :)

  2. WOW! Such a great job! I love it!! Im totally in love with chalk board spray paint right now, and am using it on just about anything and everything. Thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Love your colors! But can't believe you call your underwear "panties" - always sounds kind of skeevy to me. We call them underwear around here - even for the little ones. Otherwise would take your closet and just move it over here as is!

    1. For the record...We're actually an "underwear" kinda family as well. Just didn't think "underwear" would look very cute on the label. That's all.

      Delete
    2. OMGosh how funny because I thought the SAME THING (but would never tell another woman how she can label her bins ;) Maybe "undies" if you should ever be so inclined. ;)

      Love your closet and if the whole thing could move on over to my house I'll take it - "panties" and all (<-- that last comment sounds smarmy and will probably get me red-flag filtered. Sorry!)

      Delete
    3. Are you kidding me? LOL. Panties doesn't sound skeevy! It sounds cute to me and more feminine. Underwear just sounds gender ambiguous and not as girly enough, at least not for a girl like me!

  4. Awesome! Love it. I'm so jealous. The stenciling is amazing! Great makeover.

  6. It turned out amazing! Wonderful job!

  7. Tonya, as always, your project turned out amazing!! Everything from the glass knobs to the chalkboard sign flow perfectly. And for the record, I think the word "panties" looks much better on a label and to me it sounds more lady-like too!! Great job!!! -Andi

  18. It's beautiful! I can't believe you did all that stenciling! I thought at first that it must be wallpaper. It all looks amazing. I can't wait to do mine now. Sally xxx

    ReplyDelete
  19. Oh girl it was totally worth all the work! I love that you used the same stencil as your closet office. I like things that give a house some continuity. Plus it is so so pretty!

    ReplyDelete

  22. Amazing transformation! The stencil on the wall is perfect and I love the pink touches and glass knobs. You did a fantastic job! I think if my closet looked like this it might be my little retreat when time to recharge :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. What a beautiful closet! You must love walking in there now. All of those pretty touches make the biggest difference.

    Thanks for joining the party!

  24. This looks great! I bet the smiles you have every time you see it are worth all of the work I'm sure it took! So pretty and organized!

    ReplyDelete
  25. You did a great job, but honestly, it was very organized before. If you want to see unorganized, you should step into my closet! Anyway, it's very pretty.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Absolutely gorgeous! Are those all the shoes you all have? I'm only asking this because I happen to have a few more shoes and don't know if I need to get rid of some? I think your closet may be a little bigger than mine and closet makeover is on my list for this year! ha! Will definitely be referring back to this one. Awesome job.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Wow, it's beautiful! I bet you save a huge amount of time getting ready, too! Ithink I'd be tempeted to hide out in there with my coffee and phone! :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. OM this is so awesome! You really did great! I love the stencil, the chalk board, and the flowers are a must for a big reveal!! Wanna come to Atlanta for another closet?
    Love your work!! (and the new haircut)

    ReplyDelete
  29. It's fantastic - love the stencil and painted shelves! And the cute chalkboard. I want tulips in my closet!

  30. I absolutely LOVE it but I cannot believe that's all the shoes you have!!!! I think I have a problem.

    ReplyDelete
  31. It's gorgeous! Great job! Your husbands part of the closet looks like my husband's closet, business suits and a lot of running shoes. :) He must love to run.

    I can only imagine how happy this closet makes you every time you walk in it!

  32. Lovely transformation! I had been thinking of doing a stencil in my closet as well. I'm a little intimidated by the stencil...it's been about 15 years since I've done it. Thinking the closet would be the perfect place to practice!

    ReplyDelete
  33. This is awesome...love the touches of pale pink. I just redid mine and thought I was happy until I saw yours :)
    Love the quote on the chalkboard, too.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I love your closet - I bet it makes you smile every time you open the door!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Your orignal closet looks a lot like mine, except my rod fell down on my side and there she lies. I was wondering if you had posted the dimensions of your closet? It seems like you fit so much in there, and I was wondering if I could do the same thing. I definitely need to weed out the clothes and chaos! Great job on your closet redo!

    ReplyDelete
  36. What a lovely makeover. Love the wall stencil and finishing touches. So cute!

    ReplyDelete
  37. SOOO beautiful! I LOVE the stencil!!! Question -- where'd all your clothes go!? It's all spacey and beautiful but -- where'd your clothes go!? :)

    In the process of re doing my own closet - takin' some tips from you! Great job!

  45. Yes please! My closet currently resembles your before. I would probably dress better if it were organized and looked like this :) Great job!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Wow, the closet is amazing!! Great job!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Love, love, love this! That is my dream closet. You did a wonderful job. We will probably tackle our closets last, but I pinned this to keep for future inspiration.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Great Job!!! As a closet designer, I can see that you have used the space efficiently with what you already had. If I may suggest one thing, hang the pants on the upper rack and shirts below. This will create more visual space. The shirts stick out past the pants creating a shadow, so if you put the pants above, less clothes in your face and you can see the shirts and pants easily! Let me know what you think!

    ReplyDelete
  49. What I wouldn't give for a closet like that!! Ahhh-MAZING job!!!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Really lovely, elegant and calming. I've pinned it to my board! One question...where are you hanging your clothes now? http://cathhasablog.blogspot.com/

    ReplyDelete
  51. This is so beautiful! I want a closet like this too, you did a great job!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Just gorgeous and so professional looking! I love how everything comes together to make it look so unified. Great job!

    ReplyDelete
  53. I adore this !! What a great job. Someday I hope to have a closet as organized and pretty as that.

    PS I love the plaque and the glass knob to hold necklaces. I just might borrow that idea ok? ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  54. My closet does have hope after all! This was the best & most inpsiring closet transformation ever (mostly bc your "before" pics are eerily similiar to my closet now!) I love the idea of taking out the right rack...hmmm you have me thinking now! Fab job:)

    ReplyDelete
  55. I love the colors! It is so sweet but sophisticated and chic. You did an amazing job! I would love if you linked up to my party that I host on Fridays!

  71. Beautiful job. Quick question. Do you know the name of that greyish purplish color?? I have a bathroom with some REAL sketchy random pink tiles that we want to revamp. That color looks great with pink as an accent. If you come across it let me know. It looks amazing!!

    ReplyDelete
  77. love the pink and grey -- makes me smile! thanks for the tour of your closet

    ReplyDelete
  78. The stenciling just makes the whole closet. I love it that you could leave the door wide open and use it as a showroom. I also really love the glass accents. Beautiful!!!

    ReplyDelete
  79. I was very excited about this weekly challenge but I am sad that us regular folk are competing against seasoned bloggers. I can not accomplish in a week what they already have up their sleeves from previous posts on their blogs. I was hoping this fun challenge would be more for the every day folk.
