      I love what you did to your closet. Is it possible to get the dimensions of your shelves. My closet wall dimensions is 86" (12" deep)x122" (22" deep)x30"(15.75" deep) x43.5" (15.75" deep). I am having issues coming up with widths of the hanging section and cu by section. The hanging section will be the 122" wall and the cubby section will be the 86". The other two walls will have dressers.

    Hi Stefani, nice work. A suggestion for future projects -- after doing a lot of built-ins and other work in my own house, I realized it was a lot easier for me to do as much pre-finishing as possible before installing and assembling everything. Sanding all the shelves and sides, and priming and painting of the plywood parts before installing, should make things much easier. Then you only have to sand and paint the trim once it's installed, but all the shelves and cavities and all of that will already be finished. Good luck!

      Plywood and wood is overkill for a closet. It'd be cheeper, faster and better (for example: drawers with a brake) if she just used white chipboard which is cheaper and no painting needed. Making drawers all of chipboard is way lot easier than you think.

  • @KenShew325
    @KenShew325 4 роки тому

    One of my top tips for this kind of project when your going to paint wood. Use primer! Seriously if you try it you will never go back. I prime the wood outside after I cut it. I do the rough sanding outdoors also if I can. After it is all together do a light sanding then paint. You get a very nice smooth finish and less time sanding. If you want an awesome professional finish then use a natural brush and oil based paint. The problem with this method is it off gasses fumes for days.

    • @KenShew325
      @KenShew325 4 роки тому +1

      I thought the finish looked good and I wondered how you did that without primmer. It is hard to get a good finish without primmer. The water in the paint makes the wood grain pop up an gives you a rough finish. Also primer is easier to sand smooth. @@HomeWithStefani

      A lot of places that sell wood, such as Home Depot and some Lowe’s, also cut the wood to size for no extra charge. If you get it done at those locations, I would add an additional 1/4 to 1/2 inch, and you can just power sand down to size.

    Wow! First of all, your carpentry skills are incredible! 🤩 I’ve been doing a lot of research on custom closets which brought me to your UA-cam channel and three part video series; and gotta say, your custom closet build is beautifully done! May I ask what kind of lumber you used for the 2x4s and plywood? (cedar, oak, pine, etc.?) I went to your blog post to see if you mention type of wood, but I didn’t see anything on lumber aside from the cost breakdown. Anyhow- I really enjoyed this custom closet build, I’m going to watch your home office makeover series next! ☺️

      Thanks so much, Mira! I have a list of building materials on my Part 1 & Part 2 blog post. Here's the link to part 1: homewithstefani.com/closet-makeover-part-1/ I used regular pine 2x4's, Sande plywood and select pine for the trim from Home Depot 😊

    Amazing job. We were inspired by your design and just got done installing the base for all of the cabinets. My question is.. what size trim did you use for the 3/4 inch plywood. (1”?)Did you have an overlap on either side of 3/4 board. Less gaps I have to fill the better.

    Wow. I am really impressed.
    1) Why didn't fix the walls and paint before installing the whole closet?
    2) Same question as above but for the floor?
    3) Why didn't you sand the wood before installing it?
    I am starting to plan my closet makeover as well, so just trying to check how to do it correctly and efficiently.
    Overall, really pleased with the hard work and the outcome of it. Great job.

      1. She probably didn't fix/paint the walls before installing the closet, because there was a chance she might want to change things along the way. And if you cover blemishes in the wall with your closet pieces, there's no point in fixing it before installing. It's also VERY hard to match caulk color to paint color unless it's white. She was smart to wait until after installing everything to paint everything so it could all match.
      2. Same thing with the floor; I wouldn't want to paint concrete floors then paint my closet; there's a chance paint could go everywhere and patio paint is more expensive. And if half the closet floor is getting covered, there's no need to paint a part that won't get seen. You also want to get the majority of your work done inside since you wouldn't be able to do any work while the floor dried.
      3. Not sure why she didn't sand before hand, but maybe it was so everything got an even sand. It sucks when you do prep for a project only to realize that you over-sanded a piece of material and now it doesn't fit.

      Claire said it best!! I told myself I was going to sand ahead of time but I just got too excited and also sanding in a hot garage during summertime in Florida isn't very enjoyable 😅

    This is PERFECTION!!! How long did this take you to complete? (Minus the floors) I think I'd keep my carpet.

    How did you assemble the upper cubbies? Anything special to attach the vertical to horizontal pieces? I see you using the brad nailer.
