Master Bedroom Closet: Before and After

Our Master Closet is called a "walk-in", however, I believe it just barely meets the minimum standards. I would call it a "stand-in" closet. Needless to say, we needed to do something with it to make it hold more than just 1 row of hung clothing.
Neil didn't get a picture before he emptied out our piled up mess, but we did get a couple pictures of the empty closet and the old hardware.


I had to do all the hard work of removing the hardware ;)




And, here is the after:




Much better, don't you think?

P.S. It appears that with my computer crash, we lost the adorable footage of Sara opening gifts :(
I guess we will just have to buy her more so we can share her cutenees.

Dear Friends and Family

We sincerely apologize for our lack of updates. We do have several things to update, however, the simple task of getting two AA batteries for our camera so we can transfer the pictures to my computer has turned into quite a daunting task. No, there is not a national batter shortage...there is only a memory shortage when it comes to picking some up when out and about.

Another reason for the time between updates is that my hard drive on my beloved mac died a couple of weeks ago and it took an entire week to get it fixed. I did loose everything on my hard drive. I had most everything backed up... just not my photos :( Luckily, Neil has a copy of most on his computer. Lesson learned. Thanks to a little company called Elan, I was able to replace my hard drive and actually upgrade to a larger size for less than half of what Apple wanted to charge me. Now, I not only am backing up using "Time Machine" (a mac program), I also signed up for Carbonite, an online back up program. I just have too many important documents, contracts, client info, etc. on my computer to chance loosing it all.


So, hopefully, this post will help me to remember to pick up those batteries so you can see our home improvements and the most adorable video of Sara unwrapping presents. :)
