A funky print on the empty wall inside the closet would make it perfectttt

I love how you made it work with the awkward space you already had rather than tearing it down & building a new closet. This is a realistic DIY & shows how to get creative without doing a complete gut
I was hoping you would make and attach open shelving along the new teak cabinet to the ceiling, to create a divide/hallway! That would have been so cute! (Not that it’s not cute without it!)

I was thinking itd be so handy to have a mirror there and then put it on hinges so it could swing open! Art would be sick too.
It is definitely an improvement, but here's what I would have done differently: I would have taken the whole space down to the studs and extended the closet out into the bedroom (including the area where you have the dresser and the weird wall hole). In that way, there would be a short hallway into your bedroom (that is the back of the new longer closet). The walls in the short hallway could have been gallery walls or covered in a cool wallpaper. With the new, much longer walk-in closet, I would have installed a pocket door that matches the door on your ensuite bathroom. Unfortunately, I think the faux shoji door that you made looks a bit DIY when seen in the same frame as the bathroom door, which is similar. I also would have paneled the new walk-in closet with cedar panels so that it always smells fresh, and it protects any woolens you might have. Into the weird square hole in the wall, I would have created built-in wooden shelving, but just make them not so deep. They would have been great to hold hats or purses on display.

It seems like Becky stated that there’s a stairway behind the long wall in the closet, limiting what she could do with the cubby. She didn’t show how far down the cubby went, so could have another obstruction there, as well.

Exactly wat I had in mind!!!!
I saw a hack that I think would be very useful here - to use the shorter, kid sized clothes hangers for pants instead of the standard size. It helps a ton with tight spaces like this closet - the pants fit snugly on the smaller sized hanger giving you extra inches of space and looks nicer too. Lovely job on the makeover! It looks great!

I was so hoping you’d extend the closet into the space and move the bedroom door in, I feel like you could have got so much more storage that way and you wouldn’t have had to cover the opening in the wall. Looked like the stopper for the small door you made could have been placed inside the wall facing the clothes then you wouldn’t have had anything jutting out from the wall. Seems like you like it though so I’m happy for you! Making closet changes has always made clothes feel like new for me! :)

…ditto….thought maybe there would be a little hallway into the bedroom…enclose that whole square space and incorporate the wall cubby into the closet…add a simple bifold door similar to the bathroom door…granted, a lot more work but the closet space would double - and be closed off….
My family/parents lived in Japan for 8 years and bought most of our furniture there. Any furniture pieces with a paper element has always been Washi paper rather than rice paper and we’ve replaced it over the years as it got ripped. It’s made of fibers, is more transparent, and normally has some more texture to it than rice paper but is still very strong! Sometimes it can be inlaid with leaves or flowers etc but we have always used a plain creamy roll. Not sure where it is sold in Canada but I think that is probably more what you were going for with the panel!
I think an art print instead of the rice paper window would be even cooler! But love the makeover 👏 stellar job, as always

The paneling looks so great in the main closet that you might want to glam up the little one, too. If you ever want to make the closet bigger, you could just extend the whole thing out into your room. It would look great.
The wood panelling and track lights are so cool! I think a midcentury room divider above that cabinet would be a cool way to define the space even more. Amazing makeover as always!

When Becky began staining: “Oh, no! It’ll be so dark!” When she finished staining: “ Oh, wow! It looks so warm!” Well done! I was there for the 70s; this feels so _real._ A lot of childhood feels rushing back right now. . .
I think there are ways to make this space more effective - but I LOVE how you decided to makeover the space. It's much more unique and has so much character and intrigue. You're so creative and I love your style, but mostly I have a deep admiration for how you commit to the vibes and use your ingenuity to bring your vision to life.

Becky you must be a magician. I'm always blown away with how you transform the environment and not just the place you work on. I LOVE how it looks every time, there has never been a meh
an art piece on the empty wall in the closet is a must!
that hole is definitely a dumbwaiter, how fun!
This looks much better, and groovier! Love the vintage pieces. I'd probably paint the inside of the funky cupboard so it looked less creepy inside, but that's just me. So glad you replaced the bedroom door for something much more appropriate. I love this series.
Becky, did you just reinvent the sliding barn door trend?! 🤩 The applications-hiding electrical panels, minimalist entry key rack cover, even for bathroom privacy (those awkward windows too close to the neighbor 😅), oooohhh that was GENIUS!!!
That small space would be an ideal place for a hidden safe box to store expensive jewelleries,$$, etc. With an art / mirror to cover it.
This is INCREDIBLE. I feel like people don't think to make changes to their closets, but it is a space you access every day, so you might as well make it functional and stylish. In your case, you also enhanced the whole vibe of your room!! Love it!!

I love this! What a great redesign without having to go to the trouble of tearing down walls and expanding the closet zone - the cabinet also uses up the empty space in front of your closet so nicely! Like a fancy boudoir to dress at, but also a great spot to hide little things like socks and shorts.
Great work Becky ( and sometimes Austin with new hair). Have you considered doing a full new “walk in built in “ cupboard? If you ever could, try build it out past tiny cupboard and main entrance. Anyway I would have placed the hanging rods on the small back wall and shelves on the side . Perhaps even vice versa . Some more space for garments and accessories. Look there is many ways of doing things but it is what suits you and your needs. Maybe one day both of your closests would be on the wall next to the new bathroom door with a ottoman and cute dresser with all the accessories or get ready things and the closet you just build is something else ( winter cupboard/ gear cupboard…). Just keep growing with your home!
Okay I have ideas!!! 1. So I like the cabinet separating the space but it would be so cute if you added shelves that run parallel to the cabinet. You could display decor, accessories, books, and maybe even some stack of cool tees or denim. 2) I would extend the sheet wall that you used inside of the closet to the other wall. Basically elongating the closet. You could still have the cute sliding door but I would create a whole new feeling 3) the little nook with the sliding door would be so cute if also finished in the sheet wall and stained. But an added thought would be adding shelving or some sort of organization for accessories or for makeup. Also the sliding door being changed to a mirror- that could be like a whole hidden vanity/ getting ready space.

Additional alternative ideas that snowballed from there… 1. Use that taller dresser/credenza (to the left of the door in one of wider room pans) instead To create an actual “wall/divide” top to bottom. 2. If keeping the shorter credenza in place, put the mirror on that wall behind it (next to the door) so it’s kind of like a dressing table and you can look directly across…..which could then reflect a nice piece of art (as others have suggested) over that little stairwell cubby space. Very boutiquey. 3. Throw some supports in that cubby space, more of that same paneling, and then install and slide out “trays” (slim drawers) for accessories (think ikea pax). Obviously an all-out reno with new/moved walls would be great but I could understand that being a later project after just completing the bathroom. Nevertheless love the commitment to this aesthetic and how it’s cohesively coming together. 😊

Looks great! I think the wall hole closet was probably used for extra bedding and pillows. Just seems like a perfect space for it. Easily accessible when it's cold but not taking up space in the closet or dresser. And it's also a space I'd come up with to DIY if I didn't have storage for bedding.

Yes! Pre-80s homes had so many of these nooks turned linen closet/ winter closet/ hat closet! (70s homes not so much on the off season hat box storage but 1900s-50s yes!) Great point. So many modern homes they drywall nooks without putting the frame and cubby door on it because it squares a room off and takes less time etc. & buyers find the space and then get so surprised by the "waste" or "secret room".
You absolutely knocked it out of the park! Wow!
This looks amazing! I love the color of wood in the end - really changes the vibe of the area! I like how you repurposed the rods in new spaces vs throwing them out for something new. Also, I'm pretty sure washi paper is used for the shoji doors/dividers/windows! (I would also recommend the 'Washi Transformed' exhibit if you ever get the chance - I think y'all might especially like Horiki Eriko's Ishi/Tane series of lights)
Love it~ I'd turned the strange cabinet deal thing into shoe closet, with shelving ...
Hey Becky, I'm Japanese and I didn't even know what shoji paper was made from so I looked it up in Japanese and apparently most of it is made of regular pulp (for making paper) lol. Technically it's "washi" AKA Japanese paper - you might have heard of washi tape. Best bet is to search for "washi paper". Even then, modern Japanese shoji have a plastic coating over the paper because as you can imagine it's easy to rip or even bust through them like the Koolaid man (like in old Japanese historic films). Loved your idea! I think its great to see appreciation of other cultures and being open to learning. Peace XOXO
your whole style in both your home and clothes is such a vibe!! also for the door I’m pretty sure it’s some type of washi paper that you’d be looking for!
For the diy that is Japanese inspired there is paper called vellum. It's like a thicker version of trace paper but you can still see through it, it's at most art stores.
yayyy Becky! 🥰 loveeee love love! I feel maybe a little golden pothos on the wall divider dangling down the side? :) i noticed you removed one eyeball light from the track making it three instead of four. you made the right call for sure! 10/10

Hi Becky, If you go to The Paper Place on Queen Street in Toronto, you will find the paper you want. They are very knowledgeable and there are oodles of choices. Would you consider finishing the inside of the cabinet closet? The other one looks soooo good, I just feel it would be an extra treat for you to have a well-finished interior of that space too. You could also add shelving above the unit outside the closet to make it look like more of a built-in, but it might make things claustrophobic. The lighting is amazing and I can't believe how resourceful you are! You are an inspiration for saving money!

You look so beautiful in this video, girl you were glowing in that red top and perfect hair!
This makeover looks so good Becki! I love the cabinet divider, the wood paneling, the new/vintage track light system. I think your shoji screen idea and the track system for it is amazing, but I think it would have been even cooler if you made it to mirror the look of the windowed door you see being it (to your bathroom?). I also love the pendant light, but I actually think you should use it elsewhere because it's kind of covering up the cool track lights behind it.
I love it!! Thanks for the tip on the drawer sliders - going to use that on the over siezed art work that is currently hiding my kitchen through. Great job!
I love how you created the space outside of the closet incorporating it into the closet. I personally would have hung a full length mirror on that wall opening and put it on a hinge so it opens and closes and then add jewelry caddies to the dresser top and you have a whole area to "finish" or admire your outfit in your new extended closet space! ❤
Great vision- feeling inspired to make my own closet space more efficient! Enjoy the new space! 💯
The Shoji screen was a BRILLIANT idea, Becky. Awesome color match to the teak cabinet with the stain! Love that the lighting is from the 70's. You've outdone yourself again!

I think the space came out stunning ! Totally into the sliding door 🥹🥹
Whoaaaa, yes! Great choices. Great learning moments. I think you guys are so bright that people expect you be know it alls but you're so great for showing the developing of new skills. Ofteb things people say they would do, is something they have never even done, so I really appreciate how accepting of strangers ideas happens here too. These projects take so much time and you make such fun choices. I think in a dressing area I totally dig keeping it open, not just expanding the closet so its less claustrophobic but also clean/restful from other vantage points in the room. (My surfaces are puled with clothes but I have goals of simple...😊) 1. I would love to see a full length mirror maybe an atomic/ 40s/ omeba / square oval. 2. A runner or oversized large rug? So hard to get right but something might work for all of yhe traffic going on there. If it was me I need a non bathroom space to sit and do my hair and makeup (without humidity interfering) so I would need a different cabinet and probably a vanity mirror and outlet in the room. I like the idea of tambour where the dividing cabinet is and like on the dressing side could be a million lil nails for necklaces and jewelry. But not 💯 on if it is needed. I love the sliding solution for the built-in cabinet nook turned closet rail. I might have gone to the hassel of re-framing if somehow able to make the bottom ledge level with what is likely an uneven base of the winter-cabinet but thats moot if it isn't that big of a reach up with your particular items. It seems a little crowded, but I think thats because the rest of the room wasn't involved yet for filming. Congrats and thanks for welcoming dialogue. I wish I could do this in my city! (I work in theater and events and get to make for others.)
The space looks so much more calming 😍
You've outdone yourself with this one Becky!
The shook screen is awesome!! Brilliant!! ❤❤❤
I love this transformation! Your home is so custom and suits you perfectly! Awesome before and after! And I think some of these comments are from people who have never done renos. Why create walls when you find something so perfect as that cabinet. Very retro and fits perfectly with your design.
What an amazing transformation especially considering the time and money spent! LOVE!
Wow! Great call staining the paneling in the closet … it so pretty .., it looks professionally finished!! 😊❤
I think a runner rug extending out to where the teak dresser is at would really add to that whole long entry space idea that you were talking about! 🥰 Plus bring in some color and texture to add to the vibe you’re curating here!
It would be a fun party theme to have all your old costume diy ideas and display the originals ❤
A runner rug would go so nicely in the closet extending out to be in line with the cabinet ❤
This was sooo satisfying! LOVE a functional closet space. So inspired!
Love it!!!! Such a beautiful transformation. Love the wood tones as well! The only thing I would change is adding in a narrow runner rug to reallyyy marry the extended area to the closet. Bravo!!
Also you killleeddd this!!! Such a big difference
I love it so much, all that’s missing is a cool runner rug. I think you could also put a hanging rail above the teak cabinet if you need more space or to display your weekly outfits. Go Becky ❤
looove the vibe, the dresser divider is so smart. If the sliding door gets annoying, a floor length linen curtain could be cool! I did that to cover a small closet inside my main closet - looks like it’s a window and somehow makes the room seem bigger!
Ugh thank you so much - I'm currently trying to makeover a room that has 70s paneling and this gave me so many good ideas for trim and finishing work 🙌

I love this! As someone also trying to figure out how to make my tiny closet more functional, this is EVERYTHING! My only thought is what if you put a see through cube storage piece on top of the dresser to further separate that space? I’m thinking one of those funky mid century ones that are used so often as a half wall transition piece/space divider. But honestly love the idea of bringing the closet out to the room without closing it off!
So much better, more room, not crowded and uncreeped the creepy little door! Nicely Done!
So much warmer and brighter!
LOVE IT BECKY!! ❤ my suggestion is not budget friendly, but I thought it would be so cool to add a wall where the dresser is allowing for more hanger space. Or, adding a fluted sheet of acrylic to the middle of the dresser would be neat to give further division of spaces 💕 but it’s perfect as is! Love it so much
Looooove the teak stain 😍 I might have made the opening of the cubby bigger for accessibility but that's just me. This was so satisfying to watch!!!
Love this!!!! So cute and clean and simple. Feels like a space that can grow with you too 😍
We have shoji doors in our mid century rental! Love that you DIY’d them for your space!
When ever I'd buy or thirft furniture; my Hubby would always replace the back cardboard piece with a nice plywood. Up-grading it to a more study and function piece.
This is THE BEST makeover. I love everything!! You frickin nailed it, Becky!! ❤❤❤
I'm currently working on a "kitchen island" and using a dresser - so, that has left me with the same issue as your dresser not having a finished back. My plan to get around that is to either finish the back with a tongue and groove or to do a raised stencil design on the back. I think it will be great. I agree, that sliding door for the stair storage nook was brilliant - well done!
Brilliant 🎉 and I am always Amazed at the luck you have finding the perfect pieces. You go girl !!! Love ❤️ it !!

For what I know was a money saving idea and a fix, you did a wonderful job. I love the screen that you created. Great job, as always. 👏🏼👏🏼
Great stuff! As someone who lived in Japan, the paper on the doors has no transparency. It will let daylight through, but you cant see anything through it at all. So without a light on in the small closet space, it will look the same as a traditional door in Japan :) Also for the stopper piece, maybe it would be better to have glued it to the back of the frame of sliding door, so that it catches the bottom ledge of the opening when lowered down. Of course, it would need to be just low enough so that it doesn't also catch the top of the opening and be able to close fully. But I think it would look a lot sleeker to have that hidden.
Very clever! And functional and beautiful!!!
