The Closet

So, we have finally been getting going on a few "smaller" house projects again. About 6 weeks ago we decided we would finally get started on the closet in our Office on the main floor. The closet was super old, with plaster walls that were chipping/falling apart, and pipes in the closet that get in the way. Long story short, this ended up being a much more complicated project than at least I had imagined.

6 weeks later though, the inside walls of the closet are re-built with wood, and the pipes are closed in so you can't see them anymore. Matt also reframed the outside of the clost with wood/moulding. There was a drawer from the previous closet which was also re-built and put on sliding tracks (the orignal one we found was made out of an old fruite crate, probably from when the house was originally built in 1919, and really was not use-able anymore). Finally we also put a door on it. Matt did much of the hard work, and I helped with some caulking and all of the painting.

We are very happy with the result though, and so relieved it is done! =) Now... on to other projects.

I wish I had a good pic of the "before" of the closet. Unfortunately most of our "before" pics of the house right now are on the harddrive of our old computer which need to be moved over still to our new one. Here are the pics of the new closet, and just imagine something 100 times worse for the before. =)
