    Good for you!! We turned a hall closet that basically ended up being where everyone dumped stuff into a 2nd pantry for me about 2 years ago and I love it!!

    That's where my pantry is, too. I love it! SO MUCH ROOM! Much better!

    We put up pegs by the front door for coats & such. During the hot months, we all just keep our coats in our own closets. I don't even miss the coat closet!

    I agree! I should empty mine out and use it for the same thing...or at least 1/2 of the closet anyway
