You are amazing! I can’t believe you made all those drawers…
this is amazing! Good job!
LOVE it! Come do mine! Those knobs are gorgeous; where are they from? I think not wrapping the trim was a great idea- it doesn’t take away from the appearance, less work, and you’re not sacrificing any precious space.
Thanks
The knobs are from Home Depot–they weren’t there the last time I checked, which wasn’t that long ago, so I think they are new inventory!
Totally worth all the hard work (and savings!). You are a perfectionist really, those drawers look amazing despite the short screws, who even knows now! You’re never going to want to leave that house with all the beautiful custom built-in pieces. Nicely done K.
Looks great! I was so anxious for the reveal….totally worth the wait
Whoa! Nice job!
Thanks everybody!
Whoa!!!! How did I miss this from 2 DAYS AGO!?!?!?! This is stunning! WOW! (But I would expevt nothing less from you)
Holy moly sis!!! That is incredible!!! I would never shut my closet doors if that were inside!!!
I love this! I am wanting to tackle my closets… I really need some with adjustable shelves and the drawers!
Hi Kristen! I just recently found your blog and I’m so excited because I want to build custom organizers in our closets, and was going to start with my daughter’s. I was wondering, did you use a veneer over your exposed plywood cuts? I would also love to see a post on what tools you use. Maybe you’ve already done one on them, and I just didn’t find it? I was so glad to see how you safely cut your plywood without a table saw. I’m excited to invest in some good tools so I can do it myself. I just wish someone would come and clean my garage for me first. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Kristen! I recently found your blog and I’m very excited because I want to build custom organizers for our closets, and want to start in my daughter’s room. I was wondering, did you use a veneer to cover your exposed plywood cuts? I would really love to know which power tools you use. I’m so grateful that you show us how to cut plywood sheets without having to invest in a table saw. I’m really excited to get started ( I just wish someone would come and clean out my garage for me first). Thanks for the inspiration and Happy New Year!
Hi Sharon–so glad to have you here! As far as the exposed plywood edges, I didn’t cover those on the shelf parts of the closet organizer, but I did a face frame that covered them on the drawer part. If you read all the posts in the series (I think I have them listed on the reveal post?) I talk about that somewhere. The only reason I didn’t cover them was because it was in a closet though–and with the face frame over the drawer part, it was even less noticeable that it was a plywood edge on the shelves.
Your tool post suggestion is one I have been considering putting together for awhile–you might have been the kick I need to get it done.
Sometime this year I want to put together an organizer for my closet–I love Pip’s!! We are also talking about reorganizing our garage so it is easier to woodwork in and I am not looking forward to the process, but can’t wait until it is easier to use. Good luck with that!
Wow! This looks great. I’m impressed that you got so much to fit in a small space without it looking cluttered. Our closets could really use some help, lol. I really like the stuffed animal space. They end up piled everywhere at my house.
Thank you
This worked so well in her closet, which was small to begin with, that I can’t wait to do something like it in my walk-in closet!
