Gun Cabinet Repurpose

 

Suppose your have a gun cabinet hanging around unused.

What do you do with it?

 

In the case of this one, it was in our bedroom.

 

You see

we did the responsible thing and bought a gun safe

a few years ago

and

since JWS had built this in high school

also

a few years ago

it did not seem right to get rid of it

and

since we did not have the foresight to

actually put a linen closet in when we added on to the house...

voila!

Gun cabinet turned linen closet. 

 

I had purchased this wallpaper

also a few years ago

at a yard sale

because

 

 

well because I am a bit of a hoarder.

 

 

and

splurged on some

Annie Sloan chalk paint...

instead of the normal mixing my own.

This was the closest to a BEFORE picture.

 

Note that at this point we also did not have closet doors...

but that's another blog post.

(13 years we have not had closet doors! )

 

 

And...

 

JWS even installed shelves! 

 

BTW,

I think he is a toilet paper hoarder!  

 

Closet doors

A linen closet

All in one week!

 

Organization, PLUS!

 

Today's project:

My closet.

 

The number of items leaving the house is staggering!
