Have you ever looked in a room and thought “this would be so much bigger if those dang closet doors weren’t in the way!”  You have?!  Hey me too!!

It could be a bedroom, home office, or even just a way to hide your laundry piling up in the utility room (not that that happens…).  Curtains can be the new doors. Keep them open and the space feels bigger, plus there’s no door hanging open and taking up space in the room (pocket doors would also solve this problem, but this is much less pricey, and doesn’t require making holes in the walls)

I’m thinking use some PVC for the rod (which you can paint to match the color of your wall AND is pretty cheap at any hardware store). Get some cheap shower curtain rings and pick yourself out some lovely fabric/any drapes you like for curtains. Tip: Get extra long ones to add height to the room!!

Instead of adding little curtains on the bottom to hide the file cabinets I would just decorate the drawers with a fun/matchy wallpaper to go with the curtains.

I go back and forth with what to do with the closet in our office. Right now those big doors are hiding all the things I haven’t found a place for yet.  Currently it is packed full, and thankfully it’s time for some Spring Cleaning to fix that issue. Once again my philosophy of  ”If it isn’t being used, pass it on” comes in handy. I love this philosophy, Stephen hates it, so sometimes we have to compromise on certain items. Do we have an attic?!  Dang I sure hope so!

Back to closet-talk… what are the thoughts of the rest of you out there?!  I go back and forth with closet usage.  I feel like they should serve a better purpose than hiding items that we seldom use. That’s square footage people. Square footage we are paying for and should get to see the light shining inside on lovely sunny spring days!

And in case you don’t like the idea of curtains/fabric hanging in your office there is always these options:

Options for so many different styles!! Love it
