Transform Your Closet and Get Organized!
Here are 7 ideas on what to do with a closet. Tips on how to organize them in to an office or mudroom! Make sure you check out the mud room idea at the bottom!{It’s cool!}
My husband and I thought about doing this in our daughters room to maximize the ‘play’ area! We didn’t want a desk to take up more of her room. We’d just convert her clothes to her dresser/armoire that was already in the room. Another reason we loved this ideas is that you can shut it all in! Hide the office mess by closing the doors!
Here are some basic tips before you start:
1. Make sure to plan and measure.
2. Consider electrical and lighting.
3. Clean it out.

As a space challenged family, (picture 9 people in less than 2200 sf), I love these ideas! Does anyone know where you can get a huge sheet of the magnet board? That would be great in a few different rooms in my house!
