Closet Organizer

I'm not sure about you, but I feel like our projects always take about 10 times longer than we plan,
oh well, at least they usually come out looking nicely.
So for the last few weeks we've been working on our closet organizer.

One week we made the drawers and painted them:
Then we installed them, installing the gliders went fairly smoothly, I was surprised.
 A view of the drawer out, the sliders we got extend all the way out!
 The drawer with clothes in it.
Please keep in mind that all of these shirts took up one drawer in our old dresser to the point that they were three across and SHOVED into the drawer.
Now they sit nicely, with a large space in between them!
 Two Fridays ago I had the day off, so I decided that I was going to conquer making the drawer fronts.
I figured I'd try and if it went terribly wrong with the first one, I'd stop and wait until my sweet husband was home.
Turns out after a little research it wasn't too hard and I made them all by myself!
I was pretty proud of them when my sweet husband got home and measured them and said that they were perfect! And I could tell he really meant it!
Then the next Friday I also had the day off so I cut out the bead board and started gluing the bead board to the rest of the drawer front, but we only had a few clamps and I wanted to see how they would turn out before I glued the rest.
They turned out fine, on Saturday we glued the rest of them and sanded them.
Monday night we painted them,
last night we installed them:

It took a while to get them in, but they look nice, at least I think so :)
Now onto the next side!
