How long has it been since I posted about stenciling my closet??? Too long to remember, right?
January 2012 to be exact. I just went back and looked.
I know.
That was nearly 2 children ago.
Sometimes my implementation of projects can be good, but my blog post follow up is apparently lacking. Which is funny since 99% of my projects start out as projects because I think “That would be a good blog post!”
I’m backwards. In so many ways.
As you can imagine… a house full of boys means only one thing. This place is busting at the seems with boy themed everything – Spiderman, Robots, Tonka Trucks and Choo Choo Trains.
Which is why I love my closet so very very much.
I feel like it’s one of the only spaces in our home that screams, “A GIRL LIVES HERE!!” It might be a small 8×8 space, but it’s all I need to make me feel like the female population didn’t die off and leave me stranded living with humans that only grow male parts. #truestory
The giant fabric jewelry cork board was another Pinterest inspired project. It’s a great place to display all of my necklaces and it makes it easy to pick out which one I want to wear. I think it might just be the reason I accessorize more.
It’s pretty life changing when you can actually SEE your jewelry instead of having to dig through a drawer to find something.
I have a gazillion and eighty seven pair of shoes. But doesn’t every woman? My husband says no, but I disagree.
And seriously, his shoe obsession is worse than mine. If he’d ever get around to cleaning up his closet…I’d show you that I’m not lying.
I like choices. Especially sparkly and bright choices. Or shoes that make a statement like the black suede lace booties.
Something unique you’ll find in my closet – besides my dog who hides out with me when the boys are running around like they are going to tackle me because I’m refusing to play Power Rangers – is MY GUITAR!
In fact, my closet houses about 3 different guitars if you count all the guitars my boys now own. We might just start a family band. Beware.
Now when Klaya and I are hiding out…instead of bringing my laptop with me…I just shut the door and start playing some music. The only downfall to this is that it makes my secret spot a little less secret when I’m loudly strumming a song.
This space is truly why I love getting dressed in the mornings. And so far the boys aren’t catching on yet that I spend a lot of time in here. Sooooooo, I’ll keep disappearing to the closet until they notice it’s becoming a trend.
Where’s your favorite place to hide from kids take some quiet time?
THANK YOU MANDY! I know that everybody is going to love seeing your awesome closet space!
You rock!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
So cozy and love how you have the rose necklace in lots of colors! Super cute!
I looooovvveeee your closet! I am so jealous!!
your closet is so beautiful! I’m jealous.
I love the Jewelry Hanger. So cute.
Your closet is so fabulous, I just want to hang out in there all day!
Wow, my closet pales in comparison! I’d love to win.
You are a girl after my own heart! I literally painted wallpaper in that same pattern at my old house a few years ago. Tedious but I loved it!
And I literally searched for an hour for glitter back boots online. You must tell me where you found yours!
And, to answer your question. YES! I am going to Influence. So excited to see you.
I also live with 3 boys and a husband. I also need a girl cave to hide in. I do not have one. Love yours! Can i hide in yours too? I’ll be quiet, i won’t bother you, and i promise to leave EVENTUALLY.
What a gorgeous closet. Love it!
Your closet is so beautiful! That would be my dream hiding spot too!
I love the idea of the stencil and I have to have one of those necklace cork boards. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!!
Love your closet! I never think about stenciling, but such a great idea!
Thank you! You’ve inspired me to start making some closet changes. I have one boy and imagine the second will be the same so I may one day need a hideout too!
The boots! The lace boots!! I’m in love with the lace boots!! <3
I’m incredibly jealous of how organized your closet is! I share the walk-in with my husband and we just STRUGGLE to find a way to make it work for both of us! Maybe it’s time to empty it out and start over? Or get hubs’ giant dresser OUT OF THE CLOSET. That’s a battle I’ll win someday, maybe, hopefully?
Love Sheaffer! Your closet looks amazing 🙂
Love your closet, the wall stenciling and light fixture really make it!
Amazing Closet! Inspiration for my new closet in my home :D!
LOVE the necklace corkboard!
What a great closet and space!! Love the way you display your necklaces too 🙂
Your closet is making me want to stencil a new little spot for my clothing! Love this & I am not surprised by the number of rose necklaces you own! Thanks for sharing Mandy!
Love your closet and your clothes and your shoes!!
You’ve inspired me to learn how to play the guitar and create an awesome cork board for my necklaces, too!
What a beautiful closet… good inspiration for those of us who need to get more organized.
I wish I could hide in my closet, but it’s too small to even step inside!!
Hello. Awesome. Besides on how crazy organized those clothes are…I am completely crushing on that jewelry cork board! I mean, being able to see more than 3 items of jewelry at once?? What?!!
PS The new blog design is fabulous! I mostly read off my phone through bloglovin so don’t always see the new looks until months later! Love it! :-}
great closet!!!
Love your closet, and especially the jewelry corkboard.
Would you mind disclosing who made the lace booties? Love them!
Thank you for the giveaway!
Love it! But how come there are no pics of the way to the right? We wanna see what’s going on over there 🙂
I love that stencil! And funny enough our dog runs to the closet when its getting loud too!
this makes me want to re-do and organize my closet!!! that’s krazy talk! 🙂 great hideout though and great giveaway 🙂
Looks fabulous Mandy! I love neat closets- love it!!

Love your closet and definitely adding your jewelry board to my list of pinterest projects (completed projects, that is! 🙂
Thanks for the inspiration. I did some purging and stopped short of actually doing a deep closet cleaning…sigh…after looking at yours I know I really need to just buckle down and do it!
Ok, where are your red and blue flats from? Love them!
LOVE these ideas, totally wish I had a bigger closet, but I pinned for when I do 🙂 LOVE the DIY jewelry board, definitely making one of those and pinned that too!! AWESOME POST!!
Thank you girl!!
Your closet looks so amazing! My problem now is that my boyfriend came to live with me and now my closet is too small for the two of us. 🙁 I am worried… Wish me luck!
Where is the fabric from that you used on the jewelry board?
Hello! I must say that your closet looks like a closet from a romantic comedy movie! I love it! I should clean up mine because it looks awful! I am ashamed. Love your advices! Thanks!
I am in love with your closet! Looks more than amazing! Wish mine was like this but the truth is that it is a real chaos! I am from these people who “have nothing to wear”. I promise to do something about my closet! You definitely inspired me! Thanks!
