Another closet done!

The hall closet is done!  This closet needed some demo but I did not take any "before" pics.  Oh well.  I was working on this closet at the same time as I worked on the girls closet.  It was quite a job to completely cover the old paint.  There is something about the paint that was used in this house.  It takes 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of color to cover it properly.  Now you know why I was working on 2 closets at once.   I have decided all the closets will be painted white.  I am not about to take out shelves (or worse yet paint around them) just because I changed the room color.

This closet holds our games, books for sale, office equipment and some of Handsome Hubby's business papers.  Until this closet was done all of this stuff lived on our piano and in various places in our livingroom.  Not very tidy so I am very glad this project is now in the "done" side of the list!

See the door?  Well that is what happens when you leave a tray of paint in the closet and forget to close the door.  Then this little guy......

decides to put his hands in it and try his hand at painting.  Yea, you may be laughing now but I wasn't then.  He painted the door, himself and both of the sisters that found him.  I soaked all of their clothes in a sink of water for 3 days and then washed as usual.  ALL of the paint came out.  He IS cute though, isn't he?   Well he got in trouble for it anyway. 

Mother of 6 blessings (and #7 due in Jan. 09!) from the Lord & Helpmeet to my Handsome Hubby who is my best blessing of all

That is one good looking closet! Do you want to come over and do mine when everythings done at your place? I'd LOVE to have closets like that!
