Master Closet Built-Ins
I’ve been building these built-in wardrobes for my Master Closet for four months so I can’t even express how happy I am to finally say, “IT IS FINISHED!” It is amazing to have so much space to hang and store our clothes. I’m so happy that I stuck it out — even though I wanted to throw in the towel a few times.

The large drawers are practically big enough to climb in and have 100 lb. glides that are soft/self closing (for the person in this house that never manages to get drawers fully closed! u-hem, u-hem)
The door you can see is to the laundry room and behind the camera is the Master Bathroom that will be getting redone sometime. That project will include tearing a portion of the closet/bathroom wall out so I haven’t built my 9’x6′ shoe cabinet yet.
Then, of course, there’s the matter of the built-in ironing board that is going in next to that off-center window and the rolling ladder… so the closet is only mostly done!
(Who just thought of Princess Bride, “…he’s only MOSTLY dead”? I did!)
But it’s usable!
Walk in closet before
It’s leaps and bounds better than it was when we moved in.
And we are going to enjoy it!!!
In case you missed my progress updates along the way, here’s a short recap of my project. As well as a celebratory happy dance!
A HUGE thank you to Wes for his help this weekend. I was ready to toss in a match last week. Thankfully Wes pulled some “enthusiasm for using a drill” out of nowhere and came through for me!
It’s been a long, hard journey and now that it’s (mostly) done, I can say it was worth it! Now, we can move in and enjoy the holidays. And hopefully my next project won’t be QUITE so involved or time consuming. Here’s hoping!

WOW! That is an amazing walk in wardrobe. I am so jealous. Mind you, I had a thought. What about you come to England and stay with me for free and whilst you’re here you can build me some wardrobe space as a thank you! Hee Hee
Honestly, I am amazed at what you have created with wood. Your library I have seen too. Amazing.
Sadly what I loved most was the token drilling of a few holes by the man (your husband?) so he can tell everyone he built it! That is what my hubbie does. Even with small things like jigsaw puzzles….he has to put a piece in somewhere so he can claim he helped 🙂
BUT even more humorous was your happy dance at the end. I laughed so so much. It was just what I needed (been laid up in bed for a week sick now) to perk me up.
I will now be following your blog avidly.
Thanks for sharing, it’s great to see what hard work can achieve.
Enjoyed looking at all your great ideas! I can’t seem to find a place where you shared info on those wonderful light fixtures in your closet. Did I just miss? If you don’t mind I would appreciate purchasing info–THANKS for help and INSPIRATION!
Absolutely gorgeous!
I just discovered your website and oh boy…You’re amazing!!! Great job on the closet, way to go!!!
Fantastic Job! We have watched your video 3 times. It is so well done, and so much fun to watch. i love your silly sense of humor. We had planned on just installing those ready made closets in our new walk -in, until we seen yours from a pinterest pin. We fell in love with your built-ins. So we are in the middle of our project. I have started posting pics this evening, and hope to have more up tomorrow showing them with the front trim, and crown molding on. The floor molding has to wait on the wood floor. Thanks for posting your pics and inspiring us all.
