Thanks for the follow up video. I'm impressed you were able to get everything complete in 8 days. And thanks for the reminder to sand everything before installing. That's a tip I often forget.

@carolinebevans 3 года назад

I did our closet based off of your video and it turned out amazing!!! so thank you 😁

@browneyesann8336 Год назад

You don’t only have the woodworking skills but a great eye for design to make look amazing. Great inspiration, love all your DIY projects and almost dream I can try a few in my own now. Thank You!

Thank you so much for this! We just bought a new home and want to revamp our walk in. Thought the PAX was the cheapest but now.... LOVE THIS

She certainly used much higher quality materials vs those custom closet companies. Particle board vs plywood.

@bunkerbunny5 2 года назад

I used the design program you mentioned. It made a world of difference in the flow of the project. I knew exactly how much plywood, trim, flooring I would need. I bought the same dressers. The hardest part? Finding the right color white. I don't have any long hanging space, but other then that nothing is lacking. Before tackling this bigger project I work on smaller projects to get some practice. It paid off. Thank you!

@lynellecasby1219 Год назад

Wow Ms. Stephanie! You the bomb!! I gotta give you props...daddy taught you well! I definitely will be following you. Love the beautiful closet you created and in just 8 days!! And thanks for all the tips.🙂❤💯

I miss having a walk-in closet. When I was a teenager, my father was in the military, and the house we lived in on base... was a two-story town house. The first floor and the second floor had identical floor plans, so there were "two" master bedrooms. My parents took the downstairs room (because my mother was clumsy, and had the nature to fall on the stairs. On the plus side, our parents didn't bug my brother and I too much. On the negative... we had to bring our own clean laundry upstairs!😕). I picked my room first... so I got the upstairs "master bedroom" with the walk-in closet. I never had a closet you could walk into before, so it was nice to have SO MUCH ROOM... for clothes, shoes, toys, etc.! I really miss it. You can't really "make" a walk-in closet, unless you have an oversized bedroom... or can add on to your house. I do have room to expand further into the backyard with my house now... but that is a HUGE undertaking, and expensive. You can't just add to your house like it's Minecraft!! You did a really nice job with your closet.

@derickburgad6996 3 года назад

For the person asking about removing the carpet. Yes you should remove it. If in the future you change carpet the old carpet will be stuck under the base of the closet. You don’t have to completely remove it, but you should cut out the carpet under the base and re-secure it with new tack strips.

Love your platform. I hate having shoes and other stuff on the floor in my closet; makes it hard to clean the floor. A platform keeps everything off the floor. Great solution!

@glittermama 2 года назад

New sub here. I did the Pax version and I have less overall space. The Pax drawers take up more space with less storage than you have with shelves. Also, I didn't have enough floor space to cut out of the room to put anything on the wall between the two rows of closets. Using six units with drawers and shelves and a couple of accessories, the purchase price is over 2K, which I feel is worth it. Your work is stunning!!! I moved into a house built in the fifties with two side-by-side closets that had those horrible sliding doors. Ripped the entire thing out (you can't imagine how much space was wasted), replaced with Pax, and added facing Pax units on the other side. I had a carpenter do mine because, well, I just don't have the skill, the strength, or the power tools. He painted and added molding etc, which I could never imagine doing. Your work is incredibly impressive.

@sharonhammond7471 2 года назад

I'm so inspired by your closet makeover videos! While I don't have experience with projects like this, I do have a mind for it and interest to learn. My dad was a woodworker and hoping I can tap into his spirit while working through this! I just have not found any closet systems that look worthy of the cost, even the beautiful Pax system. I'm over 3 hours from the closest IKEA, but sold on getting the Tarva dressers. IKEA will not ship to me so we'll be making a road trip. Hoping to save money, but honestly the personal gratification of a job well done will be what I am hoping for! Wish us luck!

@KelsaurusRex 3 года назад

I'm so glad you did this Q&A video! I did wonder the cost vs labor factor. You essentially hired yourself for $1,500 because that IS a professional custom closet that is worth well over $2,500. Amazing job!

@protectoservices 3 года назад

Good point to considered her labor cost!👍

So what do you want her to do? Bill herself? lol She's doing it in her spare time ffs, and she can't fucking pay herself for her own damn labor, lol.

your closet looks great! awesome work! I have been working on the filed little over 20 years. my only observation is that you block a considerable amount of storage on the top section on each end. but other than that im impress with your attention to detail. great to watch

@MyDogZeba 3 года назад

Fantastic videos Stefani! A couple of additional questions...you are way more talented than I hope to ever be but I'm curious as to why you didn't make completed boxes for each section ahead of time (I'm starting this project shortly and your guidance would be very helpful)? Would that not be easier? Is there a drawback to doing it that way? Also, it would add to the expense but I was thinking of going with glass shelves (less screwing & painting). Any drawbacks to this? Thanks for all you do!!

@rn6542 3 года назад

Thanks for this video series, I’m inspired to do this. I was wondering if you are still satisfied with the IKEA dresser? Thanks

@kpezzz 2 года назад

Ooh, no, if you're going to build a pedestal/base, take the carpet out. You want that on the floor or else it'd be really tough to level or change the flooring later on. You can also cut the carpet radially from the walls, to the depth of the pedestal, cut that portion away, install a new tack strip, and re install the carpet and hide the edge under quarter round. But LVP is inexpensive and easy to do if you already have a leveled, prepped floor. Surprised she didn't do it at the same time.

@nancyw761 Год назад

Love this closet design. Already completed demo of my closet and working on a design like yours. Question - you have 22” depth for your hanging clothes. Why this depth instead of 24”? Do the clothes hang put past the vertical shelf depth or in front of the side shelves? Did you also use creamy white on the walls that don’t have any shelving? For example, where the long big mirror is?

@tsnstt 2 года назад

Does anyone know what kind of plywood was used in this project? For example, pine, birch, etc. I know the ikea drawers were pine wood but wasn’t sure if the same was used for the plywood. I used birch on the first closet but birch was expansive. Great wood though. It cost me $65 a sheet. I’m trying to save money but at the same time I would like to use quality wood though.

@StorkyTwint 3 года назад

Hi!! I am trying to DIY MY CLOSET with your reference. However. Your screenshot on the closet dimension does not add up to 8’ ceiling height!! Are those inner dimension / heights of shelves or it already account for the thickness of shelves? Hope to get ur reply. Thanks!!

@whoop4027 2 года назад

why did you use 2x4s for the base? could you use smaller pieces and gain an inch or two on height?

@kpezzz 2 года назад

After longer use, presumably, is everything holding up? I love pocket holes too but I'd worry about stability. Anchoring to the Tarva and the shelves adds more structure, but I think I'd have put 2x4 lip around the walls, about midway, where the top of the dresser and the second hanging shelf on the back wall fall, and around the top, to help make it solid and strong.

@kpezzz 2 года назад

(I do love it though. Not trying to be critical, but I'm using this as inspo for our walkins coming up in the next month or so). Thank you

@100percentJeff 11 месяцев назад

I feel late to the party, but I wonder how you feel about using plywood vs, say, melamine? I have NO idea of the advantages or disadvantages really, but it seems like melamine is actually cheaper by the sheet where I am vs plywood. I'm also having a hard time finding Sande plywood in large sheets near me - they're like 2'x4' pieces and not the bigger 4x8 sheets. Melamine is of course more slippery and I'm not sure how well it paints, but it's "finished" after a sort already if you want a white closet. Just curious! Your work is fantastic
