Cottage Closet Re-do.

What to do at the cottage when the weather isn't the nicest?

Spruce up the place of course :). 

There is an open closet in our bedroom that isn't the nicest. 

The shelves must have been made with leftover boards. 

Each shelf had 2 boards butted up together and wrapped with wood pattern adhesive paper. 

 The boards were nailed in place on wood slats

When Wayne and I painted our bedroom years ago, we just painted around them, plus we ran out of paint, so the closet was the thing to suffer. 

 As you can see a dresser fits perfectly on this area.

I took everything out and got to work painting the walls (as more coats were needed than what was on there) and the slats or brackets. 

I also purchased new shelves, that Wayne cut to size, and also painted them white. 

Now doesn't that look so much nicer. 

Lastly time to organize my shelves.....my favourite part :)

Very top holds a few lamps that we replaced, but I'm not yet ready to get rid of yet. 

The second shelf holds cottage supplies. Paper products, light bulbs and my hat. 

The black boxes are just cardboard boxes that I flipped the flaps up and used duct tape to reinforce them. 

And the last shelf holds my craft supplies. 

 Now let's take a closer look at the most important shelf shall we ;).

The container with the Coke packaging is my stamped images

My new Spectrum Noir markers

And lastly my planners and journal....but those go home with me at the end of the weekend.  

 I can't tell you how much better this looks and how happy I am when I look at it :) 

I hope you all had a wonderful and created weekend.
As we were at camp we missed the flooding that happened back at home this weekend..oh my.
Wayne and I drove around the city today and the lake and rivers are high, but the roads are now water-free....thankfully.
