It’s finally done! (for the most part anyways!) I love it. I think it looks great. I thought it was going to be a little bit too dark but now that I’ve hung a few coats on it, I actually like the dark color because the coats kind of blend in and you don’t see them as much.
The shoe cubbies are much bigger. We haven’t put any shoes in there yet because I like looking at the wood but we’ll probably start putting them in there tonight. Since they’re so big, I’m a little worried that you’re going to be able to see everything in the cubbies and I hope it doesn’t look too messy!
The area where the bench should have been ended up not being a bench. I’m not really sure why not. I’m not sure if it was a miscommunication or a miscalculation but it’s okay. I put backpacks in there and it works kind of nice for that. Backpacks and boots are the two things that needed a place in this room so I feel like one problem is solved now!
I put a basket up on top of the shoe cubbies to hold all the hats and gloves. It’s a wicker basket and I think it looks great. It would have been nice if it had been about an inch or two longer but it fits okay. Also, on the side of the shoe cubbies, I think I’m going to add a smaller hook or two for purses. Then they won’t be behind all the coats when you’re looking for them. I might add one final thing to the coat rack part but I want it to be just right. If I find what I’m looking for, I’ll let you know!
Here’s the pics!! I hope you like it!
I put the before pics in this other post but in case you didn’t see them, here’s one so you can compare.
Such an improvement. Great job. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
Thanks!!!
Looking good and looking clean! One idea is to take photos of how it looks when everything is nicely placed on there, then If it ever gets messy – just pull out those photos and remember how good it looks when it’s all tidy!
Good idea!! I have no idea how the stuff piles up so fast in this room.
Nice work 🙂
Thanks!!
wow! you have done such an incredible job – what a transformation. So very well done! 🙂
