Before
After
My son's small closet just wasn't cutting it any more. He has been growing and we needed to raise the top half of his closet so his shirts would fit properly. My hubby carefully removed the closet structures (so he could reuse dem). We patched up the holes left behind with chalking he had in the garage. I purchased a quart of "Oops Paint" at The Home Depot years ago for a dollar (yup, one dolla). It was just enough paint to give the closet two coats. We had the bottom closet rod with the brackets already installed at the proper height, so we didn't have to touch that at all.We already had what we needed, and this resulted in no out of pocket expense when we got to work.
Should any of you not know what "Oops Paint" is, well let me share. The Home Depot has a section (usually the end caps) where they discount paint that was not color matched to the customers liking. Some colors could be quite offensive, but if you keep checking back, you could actually find a color you like. These "oops" color failures are drastically marked down; making painting projects budget friendly. For example, we painted our daughter's room with "Oops Paint" for only $10 (that was two gallons of Behr Paint).

Nice job! We're going to be messing with our closets soon too... figuring out how to organize a lot of stuff in a small closets.
