Another day, another closet

When I woke up on January 5th, I didn't intend to deal with the living room closet. But in that way that things happen, I wound up dealing with it. Mostly because I want to use it, and I don't want to stuff things into a dirty space. Also, I'd stripped off it's hardware to clean, and figured, in for a penny, in for a pound. The thing is, the closet is 28" deep, 14" wide on the inside, and about 10" at the door, as you pass from the hallway into the living room. Not a lot of space to maneuver in, and really bad to try to photograph. I had to use the headlamp, because once wedged in, I became a door.
Tiny closet is tiny.
Yes, I wedged myself in there.
Yes, those upper wood boards, (presumably for long gone shelves)
are not level to each other.

I had just enough Kilz and "Lilac Muse" left over from the pantry closet to do it. I also picked up a quart of gloss black to do the teeny, tiny floor, since it was super beat up unremarkable wood. (Not narrow board like much of the rest of the house, and the pantry closet.) I think I'll do the floors in the eve storage upstairs to match.
I installed a little battery operated motion sensor light inside this space. I don't see using it for a lot, since it's weirdly deep, but it will be good for storing winter coats in the off season. And tomorrow, after the second coat of floor paint, it'll be done.
