$100 Room Challenge | Week 2: The Plans

Week 2 during almost any challenge for me is planning week and this week of the $100 Room Challenge is no different. I've never built anything specifically for tools so I have been brainstorimg and dreaming all week long about what my dream tool closet would look like. Some of those ideas were outrageous for the actual space, but I did come out with a few good ones. If you're not familiar with the $100 Room Challenge, be sure to check out Erin's website.

Week 1: The Befores




I sat down this weekend (stood rather) and looked through all the stuff that currently lives in the tool closet. Then I was able to prioritize what needed to stay and what could either go in the trash or out into the shed. Priority one is all the small pieces (like screws, nails, etc.) and power tools, so they get the eye level shelf. 

Since the closet is so deep (2') I think I can do a few shelves that are half the depth which would leave room to store the broom and/or vacuum in there. 

There is surprisingly not a lot of inspiration for specific tool closets on Pinterest, most people have sheds or garages. But I did find these few that gave me Marie Kondo fever.

This next week I'll focus on clearing out all the tools and prepping it to paint. Maybe I'll even get a little ambitious and pick out the paint.

Do yourself a favor and spend the next 30 minutes, an hour, your whole day reading through all the Week 2 posts.

  1. I am curious how you make your own tool closet especially since you couldn't find a lot of inspiration.
