Home Improvements, Part 4 (Closets)

.. and now we've caught up to real-time. At the moment I have a contractor working on the house with the goal of building the closets and retexturing/repainting the interior of the house.

First up, the closets. The original closets did a great job of maximizing the available space, but at the expense of dating the house. It's not very often you see floor to ceiling wood paneled closets, huh?



The best way to solve the problem? A sledgehammer. By using 2x2 framing and borrowing just a few inches of space beyond the original closet boundaries a new space was framed out. Plus the coat closet was made smaller and the bedroom closet gained a lot of usable space.




.. and a similar problem existed in the master bedroom. By bringing the wall out a few inches we'd be able to put a "real" door on the closet while still having a reasonable depth to the interior.
