The New Closet System!!!!


Yay! I got the closet system installed. After looking online at prices (these things can get expensive), and reviews (what did we do before reviews?), I decided on the Rubbermaid 3H89 Configurations 4-to-8 Foot Deluxe Closet Kit in white. And no, they are not paying me to say this. I liked the price and the reviews. I liked all of the different hanging bars and shelving options and how I could easily change the configuration as needed. Most importantly though it looked like something that I would be able to install on my own with a little elbow grease. 

Overall I would say it was straightforward and physically easy to do. The two things that I found to hardest were finding the studs and inserting the drywall anchors. Otherwise it was a matter of measuring, drilling and using a level. This is really so much nicer than the wobbly shelf and bar that were in there before. I'm glad I went this this option. 

As you can see, we still have to put most of our clothes in it still, but now we can! I also have to put the doors back on, but I want to get the clothes in first.The final big thing in this room will be the carpeting. Isn't that such a lovely green? All in good time though. For now, I am excited I have this done and being that much closer to a finished room!

  1. How organized you will be! When I looked at the clothes in the closet I thought perhaps you and Joe have gone truly "minimalist". Like those articles in Sunset, etc. now with people living in 125 sq. ft. homes with one change of clothes!! Re: the carpeting....I don't know. I still think you should go with the "grassy meadow" theme and paint flowers all around the bottoms of the walls. Maybe some cute little woodland creatures, toadstools, etc. Sonia would be happy to come there to help you paint!

  2. Looking Good!! I too like the Rubbermaid system. Good Choice!

    I'm really digging that green carpet though... looks like that carpet Elsie had in her house.
