My closet

My closet is small. My husband has half my closet and another little closet. (he has a lot of suits)
So I decided to try to utilize the hall closet for my shoes. Since we are moving, I didnt want to do anything too crazy. Just a simple clean up.
Heres the befores:

Hall closet

My side of the closet

top part

my husbands side (same closet)

My criteria for cleaning out was stained, stretched, dont wear often, just dont like, doesnt fit.
So here is what I cleaned out:

Stuff

More stuff...

I cant believe how much stuff!

This might not look like a lot, but it was 5 garbage bags full!
So heres what it looks like all cleaned up. Nothing fancy or amazing, just clean and simple.

Wow...extra space!

I can actually see my clothes.

I had so much space above, I didnt have anything to put up there!

Its still a small space and I hope one day I will have a big closet again. Ohh...those were the days!

Thanks for looking at my closet! Hope I inspired you to clean out yours!

Treasure and Before and After

You remember these lamps I got at Savers a couple weeks ago:

I finally sprayed them. First with primer, and then with gloss yellow and a coat of high gloss poly after.

I am going to get shades for them today.
Also when we were in Palm Springs my hubs found some great vintage luggage. They actually had the whole set which was like 20 pieces. We just picked 2 of them. Wish we could have gotten them all!

Aren't they awesome! The leather handles and the detail in the stitching, oooohhhh!

Who me?? Really??
