I'm back and celebrating the first day of spring

I know it's been awhile, but I'm back! 

I had some unexpected health issues come up that I had to deal with and have spent the past few weeks recovering from surgery. The good news is that I'm now feeling better and healthy!

I've been looking forward to today for a long time...the first day of spring!

I spent last week adding some spring touches to the house. One area I love to decorate is the shelf in our main entryway.

Now if only the weather would cooperate and stay warm!

Have a wonderful day!

Coat closet turned multipurpose closet

Our entry coat closet has been a mess for years. The one standard builders shelf just wasn't cutting it and we needed more storage space. So my husband and I finally decided to tackle it once and for all.

It was difficult to get a good picture since the closet is right inside the entrance.

We started by emptying out the closet {we left the existing shelf in place}.

I painted the closet with leftover wall paint from our main floor. Luckily we already had some extra shelves in our garage that we cut to size and installed in the closet.

Since my office/scrapbook room is next door to the closet we decided it was the perfect place to house our wireless printer and even our main computer tower.

I love having everything organized and now it's easy to find what I'm looking for! Since we already had all the supplies it didn't cost anything to turn this underutilized coat closet into a functional multipurpose closet. Love it!
