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.
Master Closet Built-Ins
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!

Hi!
We are building a house and of course over budget. So we are trying to copy your walk in closet, which I love by the way! Was wondering if you used furniture paint or just regular wall paint? Also do you remember what color of white you used?
Thanks so much!

Dear Sandra,
I live in Brazil, just finished to build this big house, with lot of closets to be built and would love to have you around. Is there any way that I could hire you to make the plans and design of my closets and bookshelves, so that a local carpenter could easily do it? Please let me know if this would be possible and the costs associated with it.
Kind regards,
Anamaria
You can look back at all the project update posts to see dimensions, design an how it came together if that will help. 😉
Thanks Sandra! Will do.
Did you glue all of your trim molding onto your cabinets or just nail / caulk / paint?
I didn’t glue it because I was afraid I would mess up a piece and then have a hard time getting it unglued. I had that problem when I built a cabinet door and had to remake the door 🙁
