Game On

Closets. Nuff said. As you can see from the picture, our games and puzzles were overflowing and needing to be consolidated and I wanted to modernize it. Yes. Modernize a closet. You laugh now but oh is it worth it.

BEFORE

AFTER

I'm diggin the new wallpaper which is actually wrapping paper. It took four rolls and some elmer's glue spray to give the space a new look.

The wire coat hanger/shelve was painted black and hung higher for more space.

The key piece is our new designated game cabinet where all the games are now neatly tucked away.

Another before picture of our game clutter. I decided to remove the contents, combine them together and organize them within plastic totes.

The containers were labeled using the side of the each cardboard box which was cut out before they were tossed out (recycled with love for all you hippies). It's amazing how much less space they took up afterwards.

The small game parts fit neatly in the bottom section.

For the larger games, I used wider totes 

and put the puzzles in ziplock bags. Again, all were labeled so they could easily be found as well as put back where they belonged.

What a difference!

In the closet world, the end result is a Angels singing johnny cash type of transformation. That and my girls can now reach everything!
