Extreme Makeover: Storage Closet Edition

Oh Saturday, how I love you...for lots of reasons, but especially for the "get things done" time that we have on the weekends that seems to not exist for us near as much on the weekdays. I have an awesomely talented, handy, and proactive husband who cares just as much (if not more) than I do when it comes to our house.

Today, we got up, took Jackson for a haircut, stopped by the farmers market for some fresh and local produce, and were back home by 10:30 a.m. to put Jackson down for a nap.  I started going about my business with laundry and baking scrumptious Strawberry lemonade cupcakes when I noticed that Travis was also up to something...

He had decided that today he was going to do something about our storage area under the stairs that, despite being a closet that nobody but us usually sees, has been driving us both insane.  He drew up some plans, went to the Home Depot for supplies, and a couple of hours later we had a small miracle! I LOVE the finished product...I maybe have been finding excuses to go open the closet door since it was finished.. Am I a weirdo for being so excited about something like this?!

Very nice job Travis! Once again you make me proud! Looks very organized. Great idea with your fire extinguisher too.

Good work! Nothing better than a nice organized space. I'm so glad Ben inherited the same perfectionist freak genes that Travis did. We got lucky, Sarah!

Very nice! I would've just let it go and accumulate junk but that's just me. Well done.

Looks great! What would it be like to have a neat freak in our house? Alas, we will never know!
