The Nelson Four: Luke's Closet Makeover

I have already shared my LOVE for great closets. I don't know where it comes from, but I have always loved a nicely organized closet more than the next guy. Thankfully, my husband has some amazing skills and was able to customize 4 closets in our old house and now Chloe's closet in our new house (see here) . Luke's closet was a bit of a challenge. The two guest rooms in our new house are quite obviously different sizes with different size closets. Most advice we got was to put Chloe in the larger room with the larger closet because she will 'have more clothes.' That very well may be true, but we couldn't make the decision on what might happen 10 years from now. Growing up, the oldest always got first pick, luckily for me, my sister's choice was always the one I didn't want...win-win! So we went with that mentality and Luke got to choose. Maybe some day they will switch, or the playroom may be more of Chloe's space since Luke has the larger room, who knows.

Back to the closet....which is the largest sliding-door, non walk-in closet I have ever seen. The space is tricky because we got VERY used to having 5 hall closets/pantries in our old house (can I get an AMEN!!) and this house has very different storage utilizing much more cabinet space and larger rooms with one hall closet and one pantry. So we decided to take a third of Luke's closet for 'family storage'. In a closet that is over 15 feet long, it hardly makes a dent in the space.

I didn't get a before picture, but here it is with the doors closed. It just one pole with a shelf all the way across. Nothing fancy.
