Proto-Closet

In my opinion, the only wall that needed to be built this year was between the sunroom just off the kitchen and the hallway. There is another door from the dining room, and I have had this space blocked off with a screen since I moved in. Since this is the year of projects, I thought it was time to get this done.

Not so pretty on the backside! This is the niche in the hallway created by the wall that will soon be my hall closet. I have everything necessary for completion, shelves and supports, paint, a door, and baskets to organize things so I have no excuse. Soon. Soon. Perhaps I will nudge myself solidly enough this week to get it done. Just to the right of the closet space are the original hall cupboards that just didn't offer enough room for towels and other linens and stuff I've been storing in the basement that would be much more conveniently accessed up here. Another positive aspect of closing off this space is how quiet it is! My little suite of rooms feels very private now that it isn't open to the kitchen and sunroom. A screen and some plants do not a proper wall make. Or something.
