Shoe Closet!!

Have you ever heard the story about how the Taj Mahal was built? If you haven't, you should look it up. The cliffnotes version is that an Indian emperor built it to honor his wife. Not to compare my new closet to the Taj Mahal, but that's how I feel about the carpentry magic my husband just orchestrated in my closet.

He spent 2 weeks designing, cutting, measuring, painting and installing the frame and shelves for the closet. He's an engineer and very meticulous, so he took his time to make sure everything was perfect. I helped a little, mostly with painting, but he did 99% of the work on this masterpiece.

He finally finished it last night and I've had a giant smile on my face since. I stayed up late putting all of my shoes on it, which, to my surprise, didn't take very long. I couldn't be happier with the way they fit and with the way it looks. He's my shoe hero these days!

And here she is doing exactly what she was designed to do: holding my shoe collection!



Happy, happy moment at the BDH! Stay tuned for pics of the clothes closet when it gets done. xox!

More Closet Inspiration!

Even though we've now finalized the floorplan of our master closet, a girl can still be inspired by these fabulous spaces, especially since we still have to work out all of the shelving layouts and color scheme.

Are these closets a dream or what?

 

Also, don't you love this idea? You frame shopping bags from your favorite stores as closet decor. I've been saving a Dior bag and an Elaine Turner bag from Houston for this very purpose!

**UPDATE: Now that we've moved in and hubby had time to build it, you can view my completed shoe closet here barbies: BDH Shoe Closet
