All the other videos kill me with them saying diy closets when it's just them buying Ikea closets that's there putting together their selfs this is actually a diy thank u
Yes, and the other side of the spectrum is the “DIY” closet that takes them 3 weeks and $1,000 worth of tools. This is the first real DIY closet build I’ve found.
Honestly!!
Or have a garage with a table saw, circ saw, planer, pocket screw guides, clamps, squares, etc
It’s crazy. This is by far the most helpful video I’ve found. You got straight to the point, no man in sight which makes me feel empowered to do it myself, no complaining, didn’t take more than 1 day and then the editing of this video paired with your voice and calm spirit. The more elaborate closet systems cost a mortgage or make you feel like you’re in an AP math class with all of the dimensions.
Can’t thank you enough. But thank you. ❤️
Thank you - my goal was to make this video actually useful! And yes, you 100% don't need a man's help - anyone can do this!
Get it girl!! Did you actually try it though? How did it come out for you?
Couldn't agree more @slaylord focker!
I knew you were a black woman as soon as you said no man in sight... as if a woman can't build anything, for the record she said OUR closet catlady...
The taping really just made everything so simple
yes it did!
This is fantastic, especially since you're showing a real closet, not a tiny bedroom that gets turned into a boutique. My house has only reach-in closets, but three were customized with shelves. My closet wasn't, so I bought mobile units and I don't like the way they look. This is definitely going to be a saved video. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Wow, I really appreciate the idea to use the blue tape to outline the design of the closet you want to make! Thank you!
Thank you for this! Everyone I’ve watched made it seem like it was so hard to do this but you showed that it’s not! I have a much bigger space to work on but this video gave me hope! The materials you used are the best part! I’m going to start planning out my new closet!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
This video makes it look easy. It inspire s
Me. Going to work on mine
Omg i think i have found the best DIY closet organizer video. This is what i needed as a beginner that has to go to Home Depot to get the wood cut. I really appreciate you. Clicked on the website bcuz i needed to actually read the list n u made it as simple as possible. Thank You So Much ❤️🥰
Thank you! I am so glad it was helpful!
nice job! not only does it look way nicer but also more functional. and the identical hangers and baskets add to the clean look. also, the price point is amazing.
This is such an easy to follow video for a non builder like myself, Thank you! In so many other videos they have all these gadgets and full workshops and I don’t even know where to begin.
Thank you! I'm so glad it was helpful - I really want to help other regular home owners like myself!
Well done! Great to see women doing amazing work like this.
Thank you so much!
Beautifully done, well explained and fabulous outcome! Kudos to her for completing project without a lot of rambling, joking or annoying music!
Thank you so much! I do try to get to the point!
@@LovelyEtc -What is the name of the type of board to build out the closet shelves
Honey! Let me tell you that you save me!
I am dealing with this closet dilemma and your idea it come like the perfect answer.
Thank you and blessings for you!❤❤
So happy to hear that! Good luck!!
Exactly how I wanted my closet and you're the only one that had (affordable)simple and fast instructions!! Thank you for sharing!
You're so welcome! 😀
I was looking for the cheapest way to build a closet. Thank you so much!!! Looking forward to more DIY projects
You are so welcome!
Amazing video and very clear #impressed
Great job and everyone is so right. You empowered me as a women to know i too can build what i want and saves hundreds of dollars. Thank so much for sharing your time and efforts. Great job.
Wonderful! So glad to read this!
I don't have a closet but a wall in my laundry rm I'm wanting to create a closet space along the wall if that makes sense. Thank u sm for the wood idea I didn't know it existed! 🤪 I'm on a small budget so any way I can cut cost w/o making it look cheap I'm all 4 it. Thanks again cheers to DIY ladies
You are so welcome!
Yes! Finally found what I didn’t know I needed. I bought a closetmaid system that works well but doesn’t look anything like this amazing DIY. I’m building the next closet instead. I found you searching closet doors diy and I love it too. Thank you for uploading these diys! 🎉
Thank you so much! I'm glad it helped!
Love the tip of using painters tape to visualize and get a feel for where everything will be! I was kinda paralyzed in the planning phase worried my drawings wouldn't feel right when built
Glad you found that helpful. Sometimes it helps to visualize it.
What a difference it really makes :)
my closet is much tinier then this but this helped so much on how to start. i really liked the tape on the wall to give you an idea before starting. thank you for this
Turning the Stupid Sliding Doors into proper Doors: *Absolutely Brilliant*
Using Painter's Tape like a "ChalkLine": *EVEN MORE BRILLIANT*
You Lady DIY'ers are worth your weight in gold. Most Men (Myself 1000% included) just cannot think "outside the box" the way y'all do.
BIG BIG Thank you for taking the time to do this video!
Thanks so much!
I love the proper doors too. Did you write a post or make a video about those too?
Saw a similar design of this in a new built house when delivering cabinets and they had built some hallway storage wall shelves with the ladder style open closet. These are awesome. Plus, nothing more badass than a woman that can not only read a tape measure, but can do all of the wood working with finesse.
This has really helped me! I have about the same size space in my bedroom and i want to have a built in wardrobe there but having seen how expensive bespoke ones are (really don't understand as the materials aren't that expensive and it would take a day to fit so i can't understand someone charging more than £500 for the labour) i want to try making it myself. This is simple enough to understand and thats exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much ❤
I'm so happy you found it helpful. Good luck on your build!!
Every other video I found made me feel like I couldn’t do this. Thank you for this video. I’m going to try this.
Just the inspiration I was looking for. Girlfriend is moving in soon, need to make a space efficient closet like this. Thank you!
Yes! Ty so much. I did it! With a little help from my husband. It took a lot of time but worth it.
Great job! I hope you are loving your new closet!
This was great! My wife wants an "Oasis" in her closet space, but I nearly choked on pricing when we shopped it around. Your approach keeps things reasonable, modular and I love the Blue Tape outline so we can adjust our organization. Nice work, Lady, and thanks!
Thanks so much!
Woah! I feel so much better about my upcoming closet reno, you broke that down in a way that makes perfect since to me, unlike how my husband tried to explain the process lol. Thank you!
Haha, my husband and I sometimes have the same problem - glad I could help!
I just love you… You did such a great job and you’re starting so young.
You remind me of myself keep up the good work and always work smarter not harder. I sure wish I had.
GREAT VIDEO ❤️
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your kind words! 😀
Creative, Informational, Easy to follow & your voice made me feel oddly calm 😄 Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! 😊
After looking for something easy to follow up the directions you are awesome .
Not everyone can afford a fancy closet you made it possible to do something very nice thx 🙏🏼 🥰🥰🥰
I'm so glad I could help! Everyone deserves a nice closet. 😊
Hi, great straightforward video, thank you! Just one question, what would be the second best way to attach each piece without the use of pocket holes please? Thank you
Looks great. I wished you would've said what size cleat you used on the sides for the rod and how far down you put that rod.
Looks so good! Such an empowering video! Thank you!
I might actually do this one! It seems like it’s actually doable! Everything else I’ve seen was pricey or just seem too involved. I’m saving this video, thanks so much for sharing your process. Can’t like this enough.
Thanks! It really is very doable and looks so great when you are done!
You make it look so easy! I might find the courage to TRY to make a few simple shelves.
You can definitely do it!
Way better than the ikea packs. Whether it’s OSD, plywood, etc, much better and it’s custom
Thank you so much!
Excellent video, Thank you so much!I am going to do the exact same thing in my closet and I really appreciate you posting and teaching me How!
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Good luck!
Love this! Where do you get the hanging bars from? And would the trim get in there way if you wanted to add a drawer?
I was able to reuse the closet rod that was already in my closet and cut it into two smaller pieces. But if you need to buy a closet rod, a 1.25″ round dowel works perfectly.

Wow, nice tutorial. To the point, no BS!
For some reason others like to talk unnecessarily in this types of videos.
Yes! I really try to just make my videos helpful rather than flashy!
This was awesome! Seen so many vids that didn’t give the finished solution but this video did it👌🏽
I'm glad it helped!
I have been wanting to make some shelves in our closet and I think I have an ready to go!
Looks very easy and turned out awsome 🤗
Thanks so much 😊
Best diy I’ve seen yet!! Great job 👏🏼
Thank you!
@@LovelyEtc did you sand prime and paint your MDF or just paint?
This is fantastic and you look good in those jeans doing that work... lucky man somewhere
Thank you!
OK, you really did that!! It looks beautiful!
Thanks so much!
Very nice! Going to do this! How did you add the hanging bar?
Thanks So Much For Giving Me Hope ! You Did A Beautiful Job 😍, and So Detailed ❤ ! Brilliant 👏, God bless, Penney C
This was so good and you made it look so simple
Thank you for this. I was looking to get the IKEA PAX system but they are sold out, so I’m going to build the frames using this (since these are external closets) and tie in the ikea pax parts. Instead of $1k, it will be around 220
Thank you this looks so simple and sleek.
You are so welcome!
Really ya did a great job. Who's says ya need a man to be a Bob the Builder 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is so helpful! Thank you so much for showing us how to do this. Now I want to use your method and change my closet. This looks achievable and I love how you show each step.
Thank you so much this is what I was looking for. Can I get a detailed list please
Great job, thank you!!!! Did you ever calculate how much increased hanging space you got by doing this? (Btw, just fyi, you could fit at least 2x the amount of hanging clothing by switching to the flat, flocked hangers (the originals were called "huggable hangers" but there are now many knockoffs. Truly amazing space savers, but you have to replace ALL the hangers in order to get the effect.)
I did not, but those hangers sound great. We're okay for hanging space right now, but I'll definitely keep that in mind for the future.
Turned out nice!!
Thank you!
Great video -- thanks! Did you spray paint or roll paint the MDF?
You got some great Skills. Love it
Thank you!
Amazing design!
Did you do a video on how you switched from the sliding closets doors to the hinged door? 🤞🤞🤞
I haven't done that yet. Is that something you'd be interested in seeing?
This is exactly the video I have been looking for!! TY!
So glad you found it helpful!
Wow, I am inspired to do this project now!
That's great!
Thank you for the inspiration. This may be a stupid question, but how do you secure the MDF to the wall? I'm thinking if a kid tugs on it, it'll come down? Maybe I'm missing something.
Wondering the same thing! Why didn’t she answer you 🙃
At 3:50 she adds end boards that are secured to the wall. You can secure the top board to these from the top down. For more support you can add L brackets to the top board and wall. Make sure to find a stud.
I absolutely love it, girl!!!! You have just inspired me, and for that, I love you!!!!!!!! What’s the thickness on that 2x6? I’m thinking 1/2” maybe 3/4”?
The MDF is 3/4" thick so it's pretty sturdy. Then the trim is 1.5" thick so it makes it look really nice and substantial!
@@LovelyEtc thank you so much, my friend! You did such a great job and it looks so beautiful! You have inspired me to do all my walk-in closets and I can’t wait for the finished product!! Have a great day, lovely!
@@LovelyEtc uúuií

Thank you! Have u found the build to be durable over time? Especially curious about the small shoe cubbies, have they held up?
Absolutely! We have since moved but used this without any issues. It was a very solid build.
