Hi Stefani, I used your tutorials to build my closet. Now I am in a new house and have started again. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the follow up video. I'm impressed you were able to get everything complete in 8 days. And thanks for the reminder to sand everything before installing. That's a tip I often forget.

You don’t only have the woodworking skills but a great eye for design to make look amazing. Great inspiration, love all your DIY projects and almost dream I can try a few in my own now. Thank You!

I did our closet based off of your video and it turned out amazing!!! so thank you 😁

Amazing work. That is definitely a custom closet. You always have something to fall back on if you're job ever falls through.

Thank you so much for this! We just bought a new home and want to revamp our walk in. Thought the PAX was the cheapest but now.... LOVE THIS

I miss having a walk-in closet. When I was a teenager, my father was in the military, and the house we lived in on base... was a two-story town house. The first floor and the second floor had identical floor plans, so there were "two" master bedrooms. My parents took the downstairs room (because my mother was clumsy, and had the nature to fall on the stairs. On the plus side, our parents didn't bug my brother and I too much. On the negative... we had to bring our own clean laundry upstairs!😕). I picked my room first... so I got the upstairs "master bedroom" with the walk-in closet. I never had a closet you could walk into before, so it was nice to have SO MUCH ROOM... for clothes, shoes, toys, etc.! I really miss it. You can't really "make" a walk-in closet, unless you have an oversized bedroom... or can add on to your house. I do have room to expand further into the backyard with my house now... but that is a HUGE undertaking, and expensive. You can't just add to your house like it's Minecraft!! You did a really nice job with your closet.

THE CLOSET VIDEO AB SA LUKIN FLUTELY BLEW ME AWAY AND I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE MORE YOU ARE AMAZING AND INSPIRING! THANK YOU ! 🌹

This project was just so spectacular and turned out so beautiful ! its definitely not easy to have it done on ur own!! but the result couldn't have been any better ! well done👏👏💕🙌

You are so inspiring and I'm thrilled to bits to see the closets you inspired people to make! 🥳

Really nice job! I'm going to tackle our walk-in closet after watching your series! TY

Wow Ms. Stephanie! You the bomb!! I gotta give you props...daddy taught you well! I definitely will be following you. Love the beautiful closet you created and in just 8 days!! And thanks for all the tips.🙂❤💯

I used the design program you mentioned. It made a world of difference in the flow of the project. I knew exactly how much plywood, trim, flooring I would need. I bought the same dressers. The hardest part? Finding the right color white. I don't have any long hanging space, but other then that nothing is lacking. Before tackling this bigger project I work on smaller projects to get some practice. It paid off. Thank you!

Wow I love the outcome of the closet!!! I can’t wait to do mine once we get situated in our new house . Tfs

Bravo girl great job I’m always inspired when I see a women tackle such jobs Just goes to show you the days of women being confined to the the kitchen are long gone and I’m so happy to see that finally that has come It’s something that been long coming and glad that it’s finally come I’m so proud that you have completed such a task and to booth made a video of it Keep up the good work wishing you good fortune in your future endeavours 👍

Watched all videos and you’re amazing and inspiring. Have shared these with daughter to see if we could tackle this project in her walk-in . Thanks for sharing!

Your videos are the best I've seen on KZread and Pinterest. Excellent job!! Thanks for sharing!!😁

Thanks for sharing, Stefani. Very professional work; you're an inspiration!

Spectacular job, Stefani! Wow, you are such an inspiration xox

For the person asking about removing the carpet. Yes you should remove it. If in the future you change carpet the old carpet will be stuck under the base of the closet. You don’t have to completely remove it, but you should cut out the carpet under the base and re-secure it with new tack strips.

it's not custom looking, it's custom. Looks fantastic. Well done.

Love your platform. I hate having shoes and other stuff on the floor in my closet; makes it hard to clean the floor. A platform keeps everything off the floor. Great solution!

Thanks for sharing. You got me inspired to build my closet from scratch.

Such great and helpful videos. The closet looks amazing!!

Your closet came out great! Definitely inspired me to tackle our closet and pantry. All of your DIY work is awesome! Keep up all of the great work and videos. Thank you!

You Amaze me! I love watching you create awesome spaces!

I'm so glad you did this Q&A video! I did wonder the cost vs labor factor. You essentially hired yourself for $1,500 because that IS a professional custom closet that is worth well over $2,500. Amazing job!

New sub here. I did the Pax version and I have less overall space. The Pax drawers take up more space with less storage than you have with shelves. Also, I didn't have enough floor space to cut out of the room to put anything on the wall between the two rows of closets. Using six units with drawers and shelves and a couple of accessories, the purchase price is over 2K, which I feel is worth it. Your work is stunning!!! I moved into a house built in the fifties with two side-by-side closets that had those horrible sliding doors. Ripped the entire thing out (you can't imagine how much space was wasted), replaced with Pax, and added facing Pax units on the other side. I had a carpenter do mine because, well, I just don't have the skill, the strength, or the power tools. He painted and added molding etc, which I could never imagine doing. Your work is incredibly impressive.

Wow. Great inspiration to continue doing my diy projects too. Thank you!

You did an amazing job! I will definitely follow your lead! THANK YOU

All I can say it’s amazing !

This turned out very well!!

Hi I watched all 3 videos I am impressed also appreciate you posting this it was done well and looks very professional... thank you

Amazing DIY Closet system.

Well done! You should be so proud!

I loved! You are the best!

Thinking about building a custom closet. This is helpful. Thank you.

So impressive.....looks amazing!!

I'm so inspired by your closet makeover videos! While I don't have experience with projects like this, I do have a mind for it and interest to learn. My dad was a woodworker and hoping I can tap into his spirit while working through this! I just have not found any closet systems that look worthy of the cost, even the beautiful Pax system. I'm over 3 hours from the closest IKEA, but sold on getting the Tarva dressers. IKEA will not ship to me so we'll be making a road trip. Hoping to save money, but honestly the personal gratification of a job well done will be what I am hoping for! Wish us luck!

Awesome job. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing. Great job!

your closet looks great! awesome work! I have been working on the filed little over 20 years. my only observation is that you block a considerable amount of storage on the top section on each end. but other than that im impress with your attention to detail. great to watch

You did a wonderful job! We are beginning DIYers and have the tools but this would be beyond our skill set. Would love some input what type of projects to take on before attempting something like this. Thanks for the amazing content.

Appreciate the Q&A, thank you.

You are very good at this it on a professional level

Beautiful job!

One quote from a closet maker was $8000!!!! With your videos I was able to do for $1500. Excellent tutorials btw!

🌴🌺 Looks amazing!!!!! Great work lady!!!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

For another cool look you should add led light strips to the different shelves. Maybe something that can be controlled by alexa or Google.

Again Awesome Work 👌🏾

Love it - I have closet envy😊

Great video. Going to do almost the same. Btw you could use hangers with shorter neck to the top rack ;)

Thanks for this video series, I’m inspired to do this. I was wondering if you are still satisfied with the IKEA dresser? Thanks

I’m sooo inspired! On my way to get supplies to start my own dream closet! Quick question... did you use eggshell or semi-gloss paint for the closet?

Girl with the skills you know you have I don't know how you could even consider hiring anyone for anything 😂😂😂

Ooh, no, if you're going to build a pedestal/base, take the carpet out. You want that on the floor or else it'd be really tough to level or change the flooring later on. You can also cut the carpet radially from the walls, to the depth of the pedestal, cut that portion away, install a new tack strip, and re install the carpet and hide the edge under quarter round. But LVP is inexpensive and easy to do if you already have a leveled, prepped floor. Surprised she didn't do it at the same time.

Love your hair!

Amazing job ...

Fantastic videos Stefani! A couple of additional questions...you are way more talented than I hope to ever be but I'm curious as to why you didn't make completed boxes for each section ahead of time (I'm starting this project shortly and your guidance would be very helpful)? Would that not be easier? Is there a drawback to doing it that way? Also, it would add to the expense but I was thinking of going with glass shelves (less screwing & painting). Any drawbacks to this? Thanks for all you do!!

Hi, im impressed with the work youve done. Just a question why not making the closet reach the ceiling?

Nice 👍🏼 thanks for sharing

You are amazing, my wife loves it. Thanks, now I know how make my wife happier.

Did you did anything different with the trim next to the dressers? Wondering if they will obstruct the drawers at all. Love the series, we are building a new house and I am tackling on all the closets myself (fingers crossed)

You are awesome!!

You definitely give me inspiration to tackle my own closet. You did an incredible job, bravo 👏🏼! What is your next big project?

What type of wood did you use for the vertical support

I was hoping to be the first person to give you a liking for the video, but unfortunately there were 32 people before me Stefani, I love you with all my heart 😘😘😘

where did you get the little wooden tray that holds your jewelry?

Love this closet design. Already completed demo of my closet and working on a design like yours. Question - you have 22” depth for your hanging clothes. Why this depth instead of 24”? Do the clothes hang put past the vertical shelf depth or in front of the side shelves? Did you also use creamy white on the walls that don’t have any shelving? For example, where the long big mirror is?

Did the ikea Tarva dressers get discontinued ? I’m trying to build this but I has been out of stock at ikea. Any alternative dresser that will work ?

Your video inspired me to get rid of my wire shelving. Looking at Allen Roth's closet system from Lowe's. Anyone have experience with this?

Did you cut the shelves short in width (by 3/4'') to add trim to edges?

Can you share the plans and cut list? After seeing your videos of the walking closet, I would like to give it shot myself. I would like to tank you in advance for your help and sharing your time with us.

Does anyone know what kind of plywood was used in this project? For example, pine, birch, etc. I know the ikea drawers were pine wood but wasn’t sure if the same was used for the plywood. I used birch on the first closet but birch was expansive. Great wood though. It cost me $65 a sheet. I’m trying to save money but at the same time I would like to use quality wood though.

I watched all 3 videos and your closet is amazing!!

You know if you go to ikea the may replace them for free. The will definitely give you any missing hardware like screws nails if you are missing them they just need exact part number

Its great. did you forgot to put moisture barrier

Amazing

Hi!! I am trying to DIY MY CLOSET with your reference. However. Your screenshot on the closet dimension does not add up to 8’ ceiling height!! Are those inner dimension / heights of shelves or it already account for the thickness of shelves? Hope to get ur reply. Thanks!!

why did you use 2x4s for the base? could you use smaller pieces and gain an inch or two on height?

After longer use, presumably, is everything holding up? I love pocket holes too but I'd worry about stability. Anchoring to the Tarva and the shelves adds more structure, but I think I'd have put 2x4 lip around the walls, about midway, where the top of the dresser and the second hanging shelf on the back wall fall, and around the top, to help make it solid and strong.

HEY! My question made it :D yee!

U R a stud. Awesome.

Did you build this in your first or second floor? If build in the second floor, how is the weight working out for you

Did you use mdf for the wood?

Wow you are amazing

Wow!... i am inspired. I paid 6k to do a custom closet for my master... California is over the top 😜 crazy 😝

You said the trim is 1x6. Is it 3/4” think?

I feel late to the party, but I wonder how you feel about using plywood vs, say, melamine? I have NO idea of the advantages or disadvantages really, but it seems like melamine is actually cheaper by the sheet where I am vs plywood. I'm also having a hard time finding Sande plywood in large sheets near me - they're like 2'x4' pieces and not the bigger 4x8 sheets. Melamine is of course more slippery and I'm not sure how well it paints, but it's "finished" after a sort already if you want a white closet. Just curious! Your work is fantastic

What did you do with the door? I'm in the process of redesigning my closet but my door is an innie and gets in the way of one side of the closet. I feel like making it an outie or get rid of it all together. Did you get rid of your door?

Yep, we got rid of the door! It was just in the way 👍

Have you thought of just removing both shelves where the shirts are? They really arent needed

I watched this and thought it was great! I’m a professional closet organizer, my company is called Southern Oregon Closets. We are probably twice as expensive as this, so you’ve come up with a good money saver, however, it does take about four times as time and energy as it would take us. I’d just like to add one comment, you buried the hanging in the corners. Always make your other section that butts against it 14 inches shy of the side that runs I into the wall with hanging, or you will never be able to reach back there and get your clothes. You can still make it appear to be one unit by connecting the very top shelf all the way around.
