Coat Closet Makeover

This project has been a long time coming, and I am so thankful to the husband for taking time out of his weekend to redo our coat closet!

Prior to the makeover, we had a builder-grade wire rack that offered no space for bags and wasn't very user friendly (really, who wants to come home after a long day and use a hanger to put away your jacket?!)
After, we have a super functional closet that's nice to look at too!

 Ben started by removing that rack and patching up the walls.

We used some leftover paint from our townhouse and it really freshened up the area! Ben cut and painted baseboards for trim.

I love the contrast of the white with the brown

Valspar Faint Maple

 

Time to add some hooks! I went with two different styles-one for the top and one for the bottom.

 

 

The finished project!

Now we have a very functional coat closet that offers hanging space for both jackets and bags! It will adapt to our need for backpacks and lunch boxes in the future, too!

I love love love it!
