Primary Closet Remodel: Clear Out & Demo
Last year we took a trip to Japan and the beautiful architecture and unique art forms inspired me so much. I knew I wanted to try to incorporate some of that style into our home, and what better place than our bedroom and primary closet? The whole closet will be color-drenched green, to bring in the feel of nature, and I’ll be using a light fixture handmade in Japan, as well as trying my hand at building a Shoji-like door for the outside of the closet.
ORC Spring 2024: Week 2
Hello and welcome to the blog! We are in week 2 of our ORC adventure! This week is all about cleaning out my closet and demo. And yes, Cleanin’ Out My Closet by Eminem has been in my head and headphones all week (one of my FAV artists)! Let’s get into my progress for this week.
I encourage you to check out the other participants here, and follow along with any projects that interest you!
If you’re not following me on Instagram, now is the PERFECT time to start, as I’ll share everything I’m working on in real time!
Before
As a reminder, this is what we’re working with. This closet is a very good size, about 12 feet long by 5.5 feet wide.
I made space in my bedroom for the dressers and I bought a hanging rack for my clothes so I can keep them organized while I work on this project.
