A Master Closet Makeover

June 2, 2011 by Courtney 23 Comments

Apparently I have closets on my mind! I am so inspired by Jen’s closet from yesterday and today I am showing off Meredith’s master closet makeover. She works her DIY magic over at Welcome to Heardmont.  Because I am a sucker for inexpensive and creative makeovers I was instantly smitten with her makeover.  My closet is a similar size so I like check out the details and see how I can improve upon mine. Look at what Meredith came up with: Impressed already, right! I just love those stripes and the simple rug. Pretty darn impressive for $118. Just goes to show you that a little can go a very long way! Source List and Price Breakdown: Pendant: $50 (CB2 “Eden”)
Hat Boxes, Photo Boxes, Leather Trays: $50 (Hobby Lobby)
Area Rug: $17 (Walmart)
Jewelry Board: $1 (Thrifted and DIY)
Jewelry Dishes: Free (Bed Bath & Beyond – wedding gift)
Gray Paint: Free (Color matched to Valspar’s Mountain Smoke)
Shoe Racks: Free (Container Store – via MIL)
Dresser and Other Accessories: Free (Already had, thrifted and/or painted myself) Grand Total for this Makeover: $118 (Awwww yeah!) I think I might have to revisit my own closet and see how I can work some stripes into it! You can check out more of Meredith’s great projects on her wonderful blog.

    LOVING the stripes! So thrilled to see a closet that's not bigger than my living room in both size and decorating budget!

    Oh, my! This is one lovely space! And more like a dressing room than a closet, at that.

    It looks great and so organized. All of my clothers are hung and put aways but my closet will never be this organized.

    I love your blog and all of your tips. I love the fabric you chose for your dining room chairs and am thinking of using the same for my own. How do you measure the chairs to ensure you order the right amount?

    Wow! That is fabulous. And great timing. Just before we left for our trip I went through everything on my side of the closet (will do hubby's this weekend), and wanted to spruce things up…great ideas.

    Now I want stripes in my closet! How fun is that! Love the gray and white and the pops of yellow. Meredith has done a wonderful job..not only is it attractive but so organized. I like those yellow pillows and towels she has, too.

    This closet is really fabulous! My space is a little smaller than this but I am definitely in love with the idea of a stripped wall. This will surely inspire cabinets NJ lovers out there. The pop of yellow is also perfect! Thank you for sharing this lovely inspiration.
