Turning a closet into open shelving...


Our home has two bathrooms.  The kids/guest bath is tiny- but the builder thought that even though it was tiny they would put two swinging doors in it- the one to the bathroom and one on a closet in the bathroom.  I really think the design process on track homes involves a game board and a spinner.

Step one- remove the door
This picture gives you an idea of how the two doors slammed into each other.  Every. Day.


Travis removed all of the door trim.


We found some mold.  Great.  Houston + Humidity= Mold & Clorox.  




Then it was time to add the new trim.


And chunk out the existing shelves by adding some wood pieces to them.


The last step was to paint it all using a high gloss oil based white paint.

Then the part where I decide to do a bit more to the bathroom....






Such a simple improvement to this tiny bathroom!  We are starting our library build next week.  So excited to share my inspiration pictures and our plans :)

What home improvement projects are you working on?  I'd love to stop by your blog and read about it!

  1. Darling! I love this!!! I would love to do a tour of your house (isn't that odd? I drive by random houses all the time and think, "I'd really like to go into that house!"...I'm not sure the owners would appreciate my enthusiasm but it truly is a compliment!) it's so freaking cute!

  8. Nice work. Can you tell me where you got the light fixtures over your vanity from? I'm building my son a bed and plan to put a similar fixture at the top of his headboard. Thanks.
