Closet Makeover & Organization - Part 3

This project has really taken on a life of its own. I'm not sure how many "parts" need to happen before it's complete....
Before
Jewelry Organization

Here are a few "Before" pictures as a refresher....or visual odor actually. Nothing refreshing about these.

Here is what I've been up to...

First, I added this "pressed tin" wallpaper behind my shoe shelving.

(Imperial VP131600 Architectural Tin Ceiling Paintable Wallpaper on Amazon for $14.99)

Then, after the wallpaper had dried, I added some Valspar metallic silver glaze (that I already had from another project) to the wallpaper

I despised the light in my closet. It held one puny little bulb to illuminate my entire closet, and it didn't do anything for me. We changed that. I will say that I had an incredibly difficult time getting this light. (First, a box of organic diapers was shipped to me instead. Then, they had to refund my $, which took a week. Then, it wasn't available. When it finally was, and I did order it, it looked like it had fallen off of the back of a truck and had some missing/broken pieces. It was a booger to put together, too.) It's intended to hang a little lower as a chandelier, but my doll of a husband worked with feathers and crystals in his face to install this for me. The result? swoon.
