Inside Out

Close up of the boys lower section. One thing I love about this is that this rack, I chose it for the sliding capabilities. So all the hanging things you see, linens and horse and tent folded, can be accessed in one second and then draped and slid back in. The very top of the boys shelves. I had to make it good for toys, boys and linens..phew.
Don't know how this one got copied again, perhaps the horse had something to do with it.
We're on to the bottom left of my side of the reach in closet..sorry for the order, no time to rearrange.
Then here's BigAl and the top and bottom right of "his" side
Altho it's his side, he has to have a few girly things on it, such as left over Mary Kay products I'm saving for gifts and my gym bag.
This nifty little contraption is similar to the larger slider in the boys' closet. It slides in and out so ties are easily accessible.
A shot of the whole boys' closet. I put Chase's clothes up at about my neck height, so I wouldn't have trouble easily reaching in and out and then Skye's clothes at a height he wouldn't have trouble reaching in. Then we thought when Skye's gets a little taller, as he'll easily outgrow me (he's already up to my shoulders) he can have the top one and Chase gets the bottom.
Notice linens on the right on very narrow shelves. Of course, I don't need many linens, I only have a blow up mattress, my living room benches linens (they push together for a rigged twin bed) and ours!
A close up view of another slider on my side. I use it for lingerie and scarves and stuff.

Decided it was time to see if any Martians were living in the back of my reach in closets. Found out that there weren't any Martians, but there were other things that needed to go. So, here's the after pictures. Sorry no before. YOu might have disowned me had you seen those. Let's just say the closets got so full, you couldn't even close them.
I'd just like to express gratitude towards my husband. The house has been in complete disarray for about 3 months now..cleaning, organizing installing, going down to the store to get that last part...etc., etc. He has spent hours installing and rearranging things the way I wanted them so we can get the most out of every inch of this flat. He also didn't complain. He is not naturally a handy man, so I am grateful for any project he does for me. Thanks Alan (even tho I know you don't every check this!!) for serving me in this way and for making me feel clean from the inside out!! God told me this next few months was going to be a time of refreshment and refinement, but I didn't know it would be this kind!
