  • I managed to make it through another motherless mother’s day and finally got in my closet to rip it all out, paint, and put it all back together.

    Not a whole gospel concert at the end!!! Great job singing all the grounds 🙌🏽. You did an amazing job on the closet! I like that you accommodated the task for what you felt you could do (I.e., no extra painting) and got your closet done. I’ve painted enough to know I don’t want to do it again. 😒

      Thank youuuu! It was a random tangent from me having a silver ceiling. LOL. I gotta figure out how I'mma get this room painted without me painting it and without paying someone else to paint it. Hmmmm...

    Okay, keeping the bars together was a genius move that I definitely would not have thought of.
    Hanging your pants with the belt hook guarantees that you need to pull the hanger down to take them off the hanger. You're just making more work for yourself :)

      Anddd…the belt loop thing isn’t even intuitive. Imagine having to think hard every time you want to hang some pants. Tuh! 😂

    I keep my bed linens for each room with a bed in the closet of that bedroom. I keep my linen closet for towels, hair products, etc. It also keeps me from having tons of different sets of bedding for everything all in a tiny closet. Your closet looks great and that light is so cute! Great job!

    If you’re planning on eventually painting your full home, you should look into paint sprayers. They make the process much easier once you get the hang of it. You can also rent them.

    • @traciemae
      @traciemae  5 місяців тому

      I’ve watched some UA-cam videos on sprayers. But people say by the time you prep everything you could’ve rolled the first coat already. 🤔 What do you think?

    • @La_Femme_Noir
      @La_Femme_Noir 5 місяців тому

      @@traciemae I used one when I purchased my home. It is definitely a bit of prep, but once you're going it saves time over multiple rooms and the paint is more evenly distributed and the finish is better.

      @@La_Femme_Noir Was there a lot of like...spray fumes? I'm not saying the right word, but you know that cloud of paint dust in the air? I don't have the best ventilation down here. But I think you might be right. Taking my time to prep well sounds easier than the painstaking work of actually painting. Did you have to back roll after you sprayed?

    I'm so proud of your progress! The new closet is amazing! I can see how stylish you truly are, and I'm so excited to see the lovely decor used in a way that makes you fall in love!
    I also wanted to ask about your one dread. Is there any symbolism to it? You seem to find a lot of comfort in it. 😊
    I have a walk in closet with my clothes and costumes. I've got a shelf for wigs and travel accessories. I also keep my costume hats in there. Last but not least is a safety ladder to escape over the balcony in case of a fire that my mom got me.
    I like to keep my shoes near the front door. I keep them basic so there aren't too many options. It helps with decision fatigue.

    • @traciemae
      @traciemae  5 місяців тому

      My loc is a “lockdown loc” named Bonet. I started her on May 14, 2020 in the thick of the Covid lockdown. She’s 4 years old now. No real symbolism outside of that. I’m just loyal. 😂 A friend told me to grow her long enough to use as a ponytail holder…so that’s what we’re doing.
      I have other closets in my place that I’m using for dresses and one is all my mama’s clothes 🫣. I like having some shoes by the door too. Because that’s where they immediately come off anyway!
