Jeff and I endeavored on a project together this weekend...we were the "weekend warriors"! We redid the inside of the guest closet. We had decided that we wanted to take down the one wire shelf that came with the house and put in a different wood shelf with another shelving unit to give us options. Jeff said we pretty much had everything we needed (with the exception of the hanging rod -- it was a "one-tripper"**) to complete the project so we got to work about 11am on Saturday.Jeff had drawn out the plan with measurements and everything the night before so the first thing we did was take down the wire rack that was in the closet. We then had to putty the holes. Jeff brought out this hot pink/purple stuff and started putting it on the wall and I. freaked. out. He assured me it dried white...and thank goodness, for his sake, he was right. :) So we eventually would apply 3 coats of putty with sanding in between each coat. And then paint.
While we waited for the putty to dry, we went to work cutting our pieces of wood to create our shelving unit. I got to use a circular saw for the first time...not quite sure if I like that so much, but I did fine with it. My daddy would be proud -- I'm pretty sure Jeff was. :)I have to say, it was a lot of fun to work with Jeff on this project. We got along great and he mentioned that night after all was complete that he'd had fun with me that day. It was such a great feeling to have knocked this project out in one day. We both went in one more time before bed to just look at it...our creation. Kinda funny. :) See what you think...

I might post before & after photos of the "stuff" in the closet later...
**"one-tripper" means only one trip to Lowe's was required

Ohhhh.....good job, Honey Girl! I like it! I've never been a huge fan of the wire racks, but they have their place. We have them in our closet, and I KNOW we wouldn't get as much in it without the "organizer."
What kind of plans do you have for the shelves in the middle?
