We Swapped Bedrooms With Our Kids! : How we Made Over our Master Closet

When we moved in to this house all the colours reflected that of an Austin Powers era think pink bathroom with olive green bath suite and a purple living room. I understand that purple is this years colour so maybe we should have left it but we decided that all the rooms would get a lick of paint and went for natural colours on the walls such as yellow, blue and green. Due to the natural colours we were able to make a fairly easy swap with our kids when it came to exchanging bedrooms.

We kicked off this year with home improvements that allowed us to give the girls a bedroom each. The first step was in moving our things into their old room and moving their things into our old bedroom.




The first thing I did was transfer the curtains. Then all the decorative items before tackling our closets. By doing things a bit at a time it also gave us chance to work out whether we wanted to keep everything or not. If there were broken things and stuff that could be recycled that was dealt with then and there.

 Our Master Closet 

For our master closet I decided to use the top as a place to store seasonal decor. Think Christmas, Valentines, the odd bit of Halloween and our Easter decor will be stored away up there once finished with. These baskets are in my favourite colour and contain a fair bit.

Then comes all of our clothes neatly hung up on teal coat hangers the same colour as the baskets. As you can see most of the things currently hung up are my husbands I'm still trying to work out all the things I wish to hang up in the cupboard and would love to get some new dresses.

We removed the white board from the cupboard and the storage unit complete with baskets. This was replaced by a storage box we have been using for bed linen and our hamper holds toiletries.

Et voilà it's finished and ready to be used.  What do you think? Have you been doing any updates on your home recently? As always we'd love to hear from you.
