Today I’m going to be sharing how we took our dated 1963 reach in closet, and turned it into a modern and minimal beauty. All of the closets in our home are reach in closets. When we moved in they all had original bi fold doors, and at the time we had young children. We lived with the bi fold doors for as long as we could, but eventually they came down.

I swear I say this every time we participate in a One Room Challenge, but man it’s going by SO fast!! I can’t even believe we’re already on week three of this hallway transformation. It seems like we have done so much already, but yet still have so much to do! If you haven’t check out week one and week two of our Spring 2020 One Room Challenge, click on the buttons below.

Today we said goodbye to stubbed toes, busted shins, and fallen tools. Gone are the days of struggle. We desperately needed a ramp for our shed opening. If you can imagine, it was really fun watching our kids, and us, try to carry all the bikes and tools back and forth with that step down.

Planter boxes are one of the easiest ways to upgrade any space in your yard, including your entryway, or in this case in front of a backyard shed! We have been wanting something pretty to put in front of our shed since we finished it, but couldn’t lock down an exact design idea. After going back and forth on a few different looks, we settled on a DIY cinderblock planter box.

We finished sanding the floors, and if you recall I had big plans to sand this entire hallway by hand with my hand sander. That my friends was a lofty goal that would’ve taken me light years to finish, and I wouldn’t be able to move my wrists ever again. Scot walked in while I was on all fours, observed how miserably, but still optimistic I was, and got in his truck to go rent the industrial sander from Home Depot.

Scot definitely saved the day.

Last year when we refinished our master bedroom for the One Room Challenge, I realized that I never did a formal DIY tutorial about our modern headboard I created. Guys, if you’re looking for a simple and fast, yet sleek and modern headboard, look no further! I got you!
