The problem; it left Maddie with no dresser. She was a great sport and piled her clothe in a Rubbermaid container while we tried to figure out the best way to provide her storage. The goal was to not add another dresser. The best way to meet this goal was to reorganize Maddie's closet.
Closet Before:
This may be a short term fix. I know we have two girls who are going to grow and their closet will grow with them. A long term goal is to utilize the attic space as a dressing room, since the attic door is in their room.
Today....we are talking short term goals!
Using shelving purchased at Lowe's we placed two shelving units and a shoe rack in the closet...
Tony raised the original bar and shelf. A second bar was added to allow for more clothes to be hung. To make sure the shelves remain secure, he attached the shelves to studs (Dad you taught us well).
This pile of shoes.....
Are now neatly organized....
Pants and skirts...neatly hung...
Shirts hung (by length....per Maddie's organization style)....
Purses....
Find their place on the closet door...
One closet, one dresser, and one end table all combined into one organized closet....
As Tony and I were finishing the closet Maddie shared a picture she drew.....
I just love watching the talents God gave my children grow...
So, I remind myself tonight...
even though this may be the neatest you ever
see this closet...
It is okay...
Because God is working hard in this beautiful daughter of mine...
and I thank him every day for giving me the gift of raising her!!
