My biggest pet-peeves of this closet? Firstly, the opening was only half of the width of the closet, making it near impossible to access the sides. If any clothes went past the opening, they were not going to be worn. Adding a sliding door to the mix made it that much more difficult to get things in and out. And of course, being the lady of the house, my things fill 75% of the space. It's just the way it is.
So here are the before pictures:
"Her" side:
A view inside: Two long shelves span the length of the closet. The opening of the closet makes these hard to access; and as you can see, the space is not organized.
This view shows you the lovely wallpaper that lined the closet. It was put up with remnants, so the pieces did not run floor to ceiling and there were several seams. The wallpaper, luckily, was VERY OLD, so it was paper and not vinyl, making it easy to remove. A little hot water and a sponge it came right off.
Hidden behind the edges of the drapes are these fantastic tie-backs. They will be great at tying back the drapes when we are accessing the closet.
When the curtains are open, the closet looks like this:
The inside has been fitted with a Rubbermaid closet system from Home Depot. For our use we have a small section tucked to the right that is used for a small collection of dresses. Then we have two levels of rods for shirts (top) and pants (bottom), plus some room for shelves above that section and to the left in the closet.
All in all, I'm in love with my newly organized space.
