freedomRail Closet Makeover Reveal

Remember, the before…never forget the before…

Last month, I shared our before photos from our Master closet. You could see why we needed help :) I'm excited to work with freedomRail to share this reveal and also relay the value and quality in their products with you.

The truth is, with our master closet, it was costing us money. I wouldn't know where anything was. Sure, I may purge, clean and organize quarterly. In between that time, finding what I already had was challenging (as if you couldn't tell by my before closet photos). As a result, I would end up purchasing the same basic things over and over again since it was easier than finding it.

We knew we needed a closet solution that I could live with more than anything. Paul is really organized and I'm sure I drive him crazy (crazier in love with me, I know). So, as I began the design process for our master closet, there were things I knew we neeeded.

To start the design process, you can visit freedomRail's closet design tool and enter your measurements. From there, you are given pre-designed spaces that have been designed by professionals. Let the virtual designers help you figure out your style. It saves your time too since you're not creating this space with a completely blank canvas (or me, anyway).

I love this jewelry organizer. I needed a new solution for my jewelry and now I can fit it all in an o-box!

We had plastic bins in the closet to hold undergarments, t-shirts, workout clothes and other stuff that wasn't imperative to being hung. So I knew we needed some sort of dresser unit but not a dresser. And I didn't want to buy a dresser for our bedroom since we just didn't want one out there.

freedomRail has a solution called o-boxes, short for organizational boxes. You can have these come in various sizes and styles. We received several 2-drawer o-boxes and a few 3-drawer o-boxes. The 3-drawer o-boxes will work well for placing jewelry, my hubby's pocket stuff (cell phone, wallet, etc).

Paul's side of the closet. He is so organized and even more so now with all of the o-boxes. Somebody was being a bit of an o-box hog!

The very BEST part is that this entire solution is customizable. Sure, you may design it one way but it can change as you change. As we were finishing our installation, we realized we needed a few more o-boxes. And I wanted to get Paul a tie and belt holder. So we will be purchasing those items in January (with the huge sale..more to come on that!).

The back wall, which as you can see is MUCH better! I still haven't had a chance to organize this exactly how I want it so I may end up doing a few modifications to the layout. There is also a rack for an additional shelf clear at the top as well.

It's also nice to have it built this way since you can do a wall at a time and rearrange once your clothes are back in. Our master bedroom WAS our closet for the time that we put this together. We went wall by wall with the installation, or I should say Paul did as you can see below…

Per freedomRail's suggestion, we would empty one wall's clothing and bins and then hang the racks and arrange as we finished things up. My main goal was to get the rails in place and take it all in. I'm a visual person so doing it this way was so helpful for me to determine what shelf should go where. It's sort of like legos for moms and dads (loved that one, Brooke!).

My “main” side of the closet. I have a shoe holder on the bottom and a few o-boxes that I will hold the clothes that were in our plastic bins before. There is also a shelf clear on the top which you can't see in the picture.

I am extremely pleased with this solution for our closet. I fully intend to purchase storage solutions for our boys' rooms as well. The thing I love about the freedomRail line is that it can grow – and go – with you. If we ever sell our home and move, this system is SO easy to take with us. There won't be a bazillion holes in the wall either. Just remove the railing, o-boxes and other items and pack it up. We can grow the system as our boys grow!

Do you have any questions about the freedomRail storage solutions?

I will be sharing a few more tips and tricks we learned along the way as well as another one of my favorite features of our new closet in a separate post. For now, I have a lot more purging and organizing to do. And, who knows, maybe I'll have my back wall completely switched up in the next month. I love that I can do what I want when I want to help us stay more organized!

Please forgive the poor quality of the photos, the lighting in our closet isn't the best and neither is my camera. The photos don't give the closet materials justice because they are truly top quality with a beautiful finish!
