After cashing in my metal scrap, I headed straight to “The Depot”, my term of endearment for this home improvement super store. I spent about $140 on the shelving for the newly created linen closet and my bedroom closet. These are the 4th and 5th closets that I have installed the ClosetMaid shelving system. I’ve got it down to a science – 30 minutes max to measure, hang the rails, and set up the shelves.
First, my linen closet. This is a new nitch created by the new opening between the living room and bathroom.
Second, my bedroom closet. Before, the space was tall and skinny with a single hanging bar. The top of the closet was completely unused.
First, I hung the vertical support tracks and removed the hanging bar. I suspect the bar was original to the house – as it took 15 minutes of sawing + me hanging on it – to snap the wood. The new hanging bar is much lower (since I am short) with several shelves above. I still need to edit out some clothes, but its a definate improvement!

Haha… I’d liked to have been there while you were monkeying around on the bar trying to get it to snap.:)
Nice organizing work!
