    This looks awesome! I should have added a foundation for my Ikea pac closet, but it's not too late. Also, you gave me great ideas to bring it up to the ceiling. Great job and Congrats on your baby! Welcome to motherhood.

    You got on that old PT uniform T-shirt. The closet looks awesome. We moved down near Fort hood about 8 yrs after retiring at Fort Sill OK. We had a house built and we customized the closet with IKEA dressers that we painted and used 2 bookshelves as shoe shelves instead of the $2500 the builders wanted to charge. I used the shoe slot organizer from Amazon so I could get some of my many shoes on the shelf. I designed an area for a full length mirror and also left 15 inches from the ceiling to decorate the top shelves.
