Closet Makeover with RONA

Before kids, I use to tackle a DIY project just about every time the hubby was on a road trip; now it is hard to find the time. But we had a huge unused closet in our basement that I had wanted to tackle for a couple of years now. So when I partnered with Rona for some home improvement projects, I knew this was the time to tackle that closet!

As you can see in the before photo, this room was used for our sauna and then pretty much a dumping ground for any random stuff we had lying around the basement.

First things first, removing the shelving and getting a nice fresh coat of paint on the walls. That was the hardest part, but I am now a pro at patching walls, thanks to a few YouTube videos and a very nice salesman at RONA! For paint colour, we just matched the colour of the rest of the house.

A shout out to my sister, who helped paint while I entertained the kids.

Then the fun part, shopping! I spent a little time on Pinterest to get an idea of the look I was going for, there was a lot of great inspiration pictures so I headed into RONA with a good idea of what I wanted.

I needed some way to organize the hand weights and all the little stretching gadgets the hubby has scattered all over the house. I ran across a little cube bookcase and it was the perfect fit!

I knew I wanted shelving to add some decorative pieces, so I grabbed a shelf and some brackets. I finished the space off with this hook rack to hang towels near the sauna.

I am so happy with how this room came together. We took an unused closet and now have a beautiful space to stretch, practice yoga, or have a light workout and have all of our gear nicely organized.

Much Love,
