Was the sheet rock waterproof? do you not need to add a waterproof layer under the shower tile? just curious because in Australia where I live it's a requirement
I always have to trust the process. You’re like a magician. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this turned out! And I love that the screen mimics the door on that side. SO GOOD!!!
Hi First time watching and At 25:22 my heart skipped a beat when you showed your beautiful pendant which is from my homeland, DENMARK🇩🇰, designed by Poul Henningsen and the Lamp is called a “PH 5”😀 he designed it this way, with all of the screens, so the light would never blind you but still be effective👍😀pretty cool✨
This is giving 70’s resort hotel vibes but in the BEST way. I love the warm teak and the lights but I gasped when I saw the Japanese inspired door so good 🔥
You should use the same technique you used un You office bathroom and put a beam wall for the entry corridor, it Will prevent You from bumping into the Dresser and so much better to look at
The small door is a laundry chute. My grandparents' farmhouse, built in the 1950s had one, but much smaller. They still had the old washing machine in the basement, with the mangle and the basins that were rolled out into the middle of the basement floor on laundry day. It was much faster to pop the laundry into the chute and have it land in the basement, instead of walking up and down all those stairs with it, especially when you had bedding to wash for 30 house guests. The laundry was dried on a long wire clothes line in the apple orchard.
I would have knocked out the wall for that strange cubby over the stairs, and built out the walk in wardrobe to the end of where you put the new dresser..
1. Art print instead of faux shoji door. 2. The track lights are cool but not for such a small closet. They look crammed in there. 3. The pendant light outside is also cool but too large for that space and is it even necessary? 4. That credenza looks so teeny-tiny in relation to everything else in this room. It's also obstructing the flow of traffic. 5. Everything seems so... off. The standard-sized bathroom door vs. the elongated closet opening vs. the bedroom door vs. the shoji door. So many doors, lol! The tiny table lamp vs. the pendant vs. the tracks. 6. I never thought I would say this but there's too much wood in such a tiny frame. The dresser to one side, the nightstand, the doors, the wood paneling, the credenza, the floor, the crown moulding. Not enough variety in texture :(
I love this! As someone also trying to figure out how to make my tiny closet more functional, this is EVERYTHING! My only thought is what if you put a see through cube storage piece on top of the dresser to further separate that space? I’m thinking one of those funky mid century ones that are used so often as a half wall transition piece/space divider. But honestly love the idea of bringing the closet out to the room without closing it off!
Needs some hooks on that big blank wall and/or back of the closet. I always need hooks for hanging hats, and only worn once things (sweatshirts, etc. that I will wear again before needing a wash).
I'm currently working on a "kitchen island" and using a dresser - so, that has left me with the same issue as your dresser not having a finished back. My plan to get around that is to either finish the back with a tongue and groove or to do a raised stencil design on the back. I think it will be great. I agree, that sliding door for the stair storage nook was brilliant - well done!
your whole style in both your home and clothes is such a vibe!! also for the door I’m pretty sure it’s some type of washi paper that you’d be looking for!
Hi, I'd probably rather tear down the wall where the cutout is and expand the closet altogether. I would build a wall just where the chest of drawers is and extend it to the bathroom door. Then you could go into this closet and everything would fit there. But if you like it, then I'm glad)
Love it!!!! Such a beautiful transformation. Love the wood tones as well! The only thing I would change is adding in a narrow runner rug to reallyyy marry the extended area to the closet. Bravo!!
Another RU-vidr, Simone Giertz, invented foldable hangers! You should check them out, they make it possible to hang clothes on a rod that's closer to the wall
The door in the bathroom was probably a laundry chute, but one way to find out would be to see where it comes out down below. There’s also dumbwaiters used to carry food to different floors, but seems like the door would be a bit bigger.
It's weird that you didn't enclose the cubby hole at all. I don't know how far it goes up, but you said it drops to the stairs below. Also, I need a door on my closet. Obviously, you do too.
The hole in the wall leading to the basement is a laundry chute. You just throw clothes down there that you want to wash instead of having to lug it down the stairs. My grandma had one in her home.
