Project: Cheerful Closets

Ok, let's face it, unless you have a spectacular custom designed dressing room, closets don't sell houses. However, after you move into a house, it quickly becomes apparent when a closet doesn't work for you. The previous owners of this home had an obsession with built in shelving that left this closet feeling dark and crowded in spite of the little window. Since the closet, which is part of the laundry room, is also used for kitty litter boxes, it needed to be accessible for easy scooping and mopping. Removing the built in and replacing it with wire shelves that can also be used for hanging clothing or as an indoor clothes line opened up the space without sacrificing storage. Painting the inside of the closet the same sunny yellow as the laundry room helped to make the space seem brighter and more a part of the room it is in when the doors are open.
