Closet Overhaul - Teaser

So we have, well ... had, a standard entryway closet by the garage.  And by 'standard' I mean roughly 5' wide, 2' deep, bi-fold doors and some wire shelving.

Heidi forwarded me the below picture ... "I want this."

  

I rarely balk at a house project.  My wife knows this ... and I'm pretty sure she takes advantage of me.  Nonetheless, I was motivated by the idea but was unfortunately stuck in the office.  

So ... I did what everyone does ... sketch out the project in Microsoft Excel.  Everyone does this - right?  [readers, all three of you, just said: "and ... nerd"].  

I recreated the closet space in a spreadsheet; each cell representing one square inch.  I shaded in areas for the would-be cabinets and bench, and sketched out the lockers/cubbies.  See below, in all its excel beauty:

Pictures of the plan coming to fruition, start to finish, coming soon.

Loving these Girls...

Last week we were down and out with some sort of nasty bug. I am incredibly thankful that everyone is feeling back to normal. We are enjoying BEAUTIFUL weather and spending time outside. A big accomplishment around here has been Claire's independence at playgrounds. She has gotten so much more stable on her feet and loves doing the equipment all by herself. I frequently hear, "I do it myself, Mommy." I am so proud of her.



Audrey has really started talking now. Her favorite word is most definitely "no." She says it all. the. time. Rivaling that is the word "up." She is a snuggler and loves to be held with her favorite possession...her blanket. We love her and can't believe how quickly she is growing up.
