Quick closet update

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Just a quick update today.

Closets painting is finished and I decided to use Contact paper on the shelves instead of painting them. They're just painted pieces of plywood and pretty rough so I would have probably put Contact paper on them even if I had repainted them. After giving each shelf a Lysol scrub in the tub, I dried them and stuck on the paper.

Before...


After...




I got the paper at Target for just over $6 a roll. I'm so happy the closet looks fresh and clean now!

Tonight's simple task is to finish papering the other two closets. Then I suppose we'll have to get some closet doors...probably a good idea.
