This is what your joints will look like in the corners. Look at you absorbing so much new carpentry vocabulary today! Take note that when you’re putting screws close to the edge of a board, you should first drill a hole just smaller than the screw… otherwise the board may very well split. Who needs a shelf that’s 2 feet deep when it could be TWO shelves!
We ripped (cut in half the long way) the existing shelf. These will act as ‘braces’ to hold up the shelf. Then, using 1×4’s cut to size, we put them up on the wall with drywall screws.
Ya don’t realize how many clothes you have until you have to take every last piece out! I helped by first emptying the closet of all our clothing. We knew we could since we whipped out a few shelves in our ‘pantry’. Knowing how EXPENSIVE custom closet shelving is, we decided to tackle it ourselves. I’m sort of obsessed with organization, (and would commute many miles to work at The Container Store just for the employee discount if there were one in our state), so the fact that all our towels have been piled on the floor in the hallway since we moved in 3 years ago is a serious problem, and the sheets/blankets have been stuffed into the guest bedroom closet… well to have all that wasted space in the bedroom closet started making us feel like there’s an obvious solution. Because our old farm house is without a single coat closet, linen closet… and pantry ( until we made our own).īut instead of complaining about our LACK of storage, I should just be grateful that we even have closets in our bedrooms! Because we’re pretty sure they were added some time after the house was built!Īnd yet, the bedroom closets have high ceilings and a ton of wasted space. So we live in this OLD house, right? And apparently 112 years ago, storage solutions weren’t on the forefront of home-builders’ minds.
