The Armoire {a before and after}

I'm officially exhausted.

Worked on a project from the time the kids left for school until they came home.  I only stopped for a short lunch break.  But I think the results were worth it!

So without further ado, here is today's project...



The before:



A hot mess.  It had become the catch-all for anything and everything that didn't have a real home.

Progress:




A while back I had bought this shelf liner at TJ Maxx for about $6, but I never got around to using it.  So it sat in my laundry room for months.

More progress:




The little white drawer thing was once part of Megan's dresser.  I removed the mirror that was on top, and I was happy to see that it fit great inside!

And finally:




I love it.  I had hopped on Pinterest for a minute for some inspiration, and found this printable.  I thought it went perfectly with my word of the year.  It says "Do one thing every day that scares you".  Nice, right?  I quickly printed it off, and popped it in a frame I had laying around.

A quick before and after:




There are still a few things I would really like to add to aid in keeping papers more organized, and maybe clear off the horizontal space a little more,  but for $0 spent, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Now I just need to keep up with the piles of paper that come into the house...
