Linen Closet Refresh

We tackled another closet!   After the success of our Guest Room Closet and our Primary Closet, we were inspired to work on another one.

We only have one linen closet and it does a lot of jobs for us.  It holds our luggage, travel supplies, cleaning supplies, paper products, laundry basket and linens..among other things. We had been wanting to paint it but never got around to it until today!  It had a musty-potpourri type smell that we could never get rid of but we knew paint would do the trick.

Here's the "BEFORE".  One exciting thing that came out of this update was finding out that we had an extra shelf on the bottom (where the paper towel is). It had been flipped up against the back wall (where the previous wooden rod had hung--see guest room closet).  I never realized there was a shelf and when Mr. Click flipped it down to show me, I was shocked (and thrilled)!

The guest room held all of the linen closet contents during the makeover.

We removed all of the shelves and cleaned out the closet.

Starting with the paint...

The shelves had to be cleaned and then painted.

Starting to look better with a fresh coat of paint.

The shelves are back in!

The next day I added peel and stick wall paper from Dollar Tree.

I reorganized the closet and added some labels to keep us organized.

Ta da.... The finished closet!  It feels so clean, fresh and organized. All it took was some paint and wall paper.   I've been tweaking it to make it even more efficient for us.  I love that it's not packed and there is breathing room on the shelves.

 For a mini makeover, it's had a big impact.
