She says: My boyfriend thought I was crazy to paint the closet pink, but it was totally worth it because the closet is so cute now that it makes me want to keep it organized with all of my fancy container store organizers. [more pictures after the jump]

What a happy color!
Closets are my FAVORITE thing to work with clients on... it's so fun and liberating to go through your wardrobe and pare down, and then showcase the gems that remain. And I LOVE the color you chose in there!

Thanks Abbe and Monica!
The color is Benjamin Moore’s Coral Gables (2010-40) in eggshell. Every time I open the door I smile, which is more than a closet has ever made me do before.
Great job Elizabeth. Love the pink
Love the paint color! It's inspiring me to tackle my closet--I think a nice color on the closet walls is a good motivation for keeping it neat.
Come on, be honest. You trashed that closet before you took the Before photos.
I love the pink and the lights. Great job!
MEP - I wish!
No, I used it as a catch-all throw things-in-there-when-people-are-coming-over-and-I don't-have-time-to-clean space for 5 months.
These pictures were actually taken when it was like 20% of the way emptied - trust me, it was worse. Scary.
I've been eying my own closet for the past few weeks and yours has finally gotten me to start seriously thinking about organizing it.
I really love the pink, the lights, and how accessible everything is. You can see where everything is at once, but it still is tidy.
The pink is such a great idea! I love it.
Your BLOG is also fantastic Elizabeth. Keep it up.
What a big difference! I love to paint closets a color that brightens them up and the pink looks great! I especially love the lights on the ceiling! The containers have certainly help organize everything and will make it easier to keep it organized. Good job!
Great idea! I am dreading having to organize my own closet, but painting it first is a neat tip! Thanks for sharing. Your closet looks lovely.
