Closet Makeover: Unlocking the Potential of Your Space
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Hi there friends, in today’s video I’m showing you how I built a custom closet using 3/4” plywood and a lot of edge banding… I’m so beyond proud of how this custom closet turned out. Because everyone closet is different in size, I didn’t talk sizes and dimensions throughout the build. My closet is 5’x5’-1/2”… I started with a little demo and removed all of the old shelving in the closet, then I patched the walls and gave the closet a fresh coat of paint. I moved on to replacing the door with a sliding barn door which helped gain more space on the inside wall I also replaced the light with a brighter and more functional flush ceiling mount light that I found on Amazon. I laid out the closet design using painters’ tape, then I put the design in sketch up and realized that I had a few areas that I needed to adjust, once I knew the layout of the closet, I took the tape off and marked out the studs using a stud finder so I knew where to mount everything. I picked up multiple sheets of 3/4” birch plywood and ripped them down to size using my Skateplate by Circsaw. I used edge banding for all of the plywood edges that would be exposed to make everything look seamless. I end up using around 250 feet of edge banning total. After I assembled the drawers and the drawer slides, I realized when I went to install the drawer fronts that I had used the wrong spacing, it was an easy fix and after I got the correct spacing the drawer fronts looked amazing with a 1/8” gap in-between each drawer. I purchase all of the hardware off of Amazon, the drawer slides and the drawer pools I purchased them in a multi pack to save on cost. Before I assembled everything, I laid all of my pieces out flat and gave them multiple coats of Total Boat Halcyon using the HVLP turbo sprayer by Apollo. After I let them dry for a full 24 hours, I assembled all of my pieces and mounted them into the closet. I added the finishing touches with a cool wallpaper mural by wallism.com and a full-length mirror that I found off Amazon. I'm beyond proud of how this custom closet turned out, this is my first time building out a custom closet, I learned a lot along the way and I’m super proud of the outcome.

Looks great! You are a fantastic builder and I appreciate the faster process and your commentating. Even the fact that you admitted a boo-boo with the drawers on one unit and corrected it! You Rock. Looking forward to more videos.

Wow, what a compliment… thank you so much friend! Really means a lot!
Nice. LOL: First thought when I saw that in-swinging door, "well, that's got to go" and viola!

Right the door had to go plus it was so big and taking up so much space and it didn’t even say open when you push it against the wall. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great job, I really like the recessed toe kick. That's a great idea. I just finished building my daughter a custom closet and just started editing the video. I was shocked at how long it took me to build it and it was an even smaller walk-in closet than yours. Nice wall paper!

Check out my instagram… I have a bunch of photos
wooden hangers are not the best for your clothes, especially linens/silks/cottons. Check out "flocked" ones instead--give more space, even your delicate clothing (narrow straps) will stay on the hanger and they elevate the look.
