The first was an idea that I saw on Pinterest which replaced the plastic silverware tray with wood separators built into the drawer. We purchased all of the wood before I left, and while I was in Jacksonville Chris sent me these pictures.
It's a little hard to get the big spoons out, but it's doable. We rarely use them anyways, lol. Chris also did it for the drawer in the butler's pantry for our wedding silverware that will be used for special occasions.
The other improvement was creating a linen closest! I may have mentioned before that our house does not have a linen closet in it. We actually didn't notice this until our 2nd or 3rd tour of the house. Thankfully, the main guest room closet had a little bit of extra space in it which Chris utilized to install a track system and some shelves.
You can make out the bump out in the closet from this picture of the game room corner. That area where you see the electric outlet is the added space in the closet. It's hard to get shots inside of the closet since it's small and there are no lights, but here's one from before I left of Chris measuring out the tracks.
Chris installed the tracks, cut and painted the wood for the shelves and I was able to come home and load it up with our extra towels and sheets.
I don't know if I can tell him enough, but I am so grateful for my handy husband!!
Nice improvements! I really like the linen closet. I've been talking to Jim about adding some shelving to one of our closets, too.
ReplyDeleteHandy husbands are the best! I'm hoping my husband will do something similar when I'm gone next month in Austin :)
ReplyDeleteHow nice to come hope to improvements! I love the silverware drawer idea too, so much better than the too-small plastic holder thing we have now. I might just have to steal this idea... :)
