Updated Living Room Closet Makeover

Happy Tuesday guys and dolls.  Hope you had a great Monday!  Over this past weekend while we were doing our running around and getting things to work on in our basement, we also looked for doors to replace those broken mirrored sliding doors in our living room.  However, after a trip to both Lowe's and Home Depot, we unfortunately, were completely out of luck for doors.  We couldn't get any doors that would fit and if we special ordered them, they would have cost us an arm and a leg and we just didn't want to put tons of money into those doors.  Soooo... against my better judgement, we ended up having to put up a curtain - tell me what you think:

We put up a decorative curtain rod at the top to try and dress it up even more.  It was not what we wanted to do there but really had no choice.  Give me your honest opinion - do you think it looks bad?  We ended up also putting velcro down the right hand side underneath the curtain along the side of the wall to hold it shut as you could see the coats, etc. just by walking through the living room and we didn't like that either.  So now it stays in place nice and neat and we are able to just pull the curtain from the left side to get our jackets and stuff out when we need them.  Hopefully, it won't be much longer and we won't need those anymore.

I would love to have your thoughts and opinions so please feel free to pass them along.  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by! 

Lots of love and hugs,

Another Weekend Project Off My List:

Happy Monday my friends! Hope you had an awesome weekend!  Ours was great but very busy.  I was able to tackle another project and mark it off my on-going list.  My kids and husband were all gone to work among other things, so in between running the kids here and there, I decided to get the ugly sliding mirror doors out of my living room once and for all. 

                                    Here they are before in all of their glory:

  

 Taping off the doors for safety purposes before taking them down:

 After taking the doors off (already 100% better)

 Spackling:

During the painting:

                                                        And afterwards:

 And refilled with our coats, games, ski stuff and extra blankets:

So what do you think?  Better?  I think it's 100% better!  And so nice to finally get it done.  But now the hard part is trying to decide what to put up there in place of the doors.  I want something that is going to blend in and look very nice with our living room.  Any suggestions?  My husband wants to hang some sort of nice curtain and curtain rod up there - but I'm not sure how that would look.  I would like to have some nice doors to hang back up but not sure what, if anything, would look good there. 

Well... I'm running extremely late this morning, so I've got to run.  Thanks for stopping by to say hello and please let me know you were here.  I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions on the closet if you get a chance.

Lots of love and hugs,
