The only downfall of my master bedroom: this tiny closet! Compared to the size of the bedroom & the closets (yes, that's plural) in the smaller bedroom, it's criminal!
Offenses:
- Barely deep enough to fit a hanger.
- Long, Unreachable space to the right of the door.
- Only one hanging bar.
Initially I thought I could just get by with storing all my clothes in one of the spare bedroom closets, but I'll be honest...it's annoying going back and forth between bedrooms! Especially when the full length mirror and my shoes are in the master bedroom. It's just not conducive to the dressing process! (Although, having to decide on what to wear in a different room than I actually change in HAS prevented me from leaving piles of rejected outfits on the bed or floor...)
Master Closet Makeover
Step #1:
Cut 1x2s to fit the depth of the shelf.
Drill pilot holes.
Realize that you don't have countersink drill bits or long enough screws and are too lazy to go to the store.
McGuyver it and drill over pilot holes with a larger drill bit (but not all the way through) so the short screws can do the trick.
Step #2:
Fit into the narrow closet space and screw 1x2s into wall at the desired shelf heights.
Level and anchors are your friends.
Step #3:
Measure the size of the shelf.
Using a circular saw, cut shelves from 1/2" plywood.
Paint shelves and ledges.
Forget to take photos of this step.
Step #4:
Place shelves on the ledges.
Make use of the weird space in the closet!
