Over seven years ago when we were house hunting, we stumbled upon the place where we currently live. When I walked upstairs and saw the closets in the master bedroom my first thought was, "Why would anyone build two closets next to each other like this?" Two double-deep closets side by side made no sense to me and I told Christi at that point that if we ever bought the house that we'd tear the wall down between them and make it a walk in.

Well, it took a while, but we finally did it. I installed shelving throughout and the space that we are using now helped us eliminate one of our dressers to make our room feel even more open now. Below is a picture of what it used to look like:


Maybe I waited all of these years so that I'd have a special helper paint the inside of it with me.
