I Have a Plan

As you know, I am in the process of updating/reorganizing the his and hers walk-in closets in our master bedroom. It started with me removing the closet doors and adding drapes instead.

Then I revamped my closet.

You can check out the full closet reveal here.

Now it's time for me to work on my husband's closet.  My husband's closet is a much different story.  My husband wanted a new organizer system for his closet.  I got a few estimates and the estimates range from $1500 if we do it ourself to $2,300 to have a professional install the closet.  When we originally designed the closet we must have done a good job, because no one can come up with a better layout.  So for all of the estimates the layout would NOT change at all.  

$1500-$2300 for the exact same closet seems just plain wrong.  I could justify it if the new design would be so much different.  But it won't be.  So I asked my husband what he likes and dislikes about his current closet system, hoping that once I understood that, I could come up with another solution.

This is what he likes:

1.  He likes the current closet's functionality

Yes, it's a short list.

This is what he doesn't like:

                                                            1.  He HATES the white (he wants dark wood)

                                                            2.  He HATES the handles (he wants something sleeker)

                                                            3. A few of the drawer fronts are stripped so they don't work right

                                                            4.  He wants a valet pullout bar
                                                            

I can work with this.  So after much thought and research, I came up with nothing.  Then, I was wandering around Home Depot and I inadvertently stumbled upon a solution.

I am super excited.

I tried it on one drawer and I think it's going to be perfect.  I showed my husband and he thought I had bought a new drawer front.  Once I told him what I did he was totally on board and he gave me the go ahead to get started.  My solution will save me $2200.  Yep...I can fix all of his dislikes for under $100.  Do I have you wondering?

Here's a sneak peak.

I've got my work cut out for me this weekend.

Have a great weekend!
