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!

That looks amazing! I love everything – from the storage to the light fixtures. Beautiful and well worth the effort!
You are AMAZING!!!!! This project justs blows me away. You are a Master Carpenter – no doubt about it. The closet – if you can even call it that is just to die for. You need your own DIY Show!!!!!
My best- Diane
Congratulations – beautiful work. You should be so proud…your crafts-womanship really shows, and such a HUGE job…all I can say is..WOW
Sandra it’s executive – to say the least! – it belongs in the White House, fit for a princess. You need to get paid for your work, seriously someone would give big bucks and you’re worth it. Congrats on the finish.
My husband is rushing out to buy me wood working tools and lots of books! Like I could ever do something as beautiful as your closet! You are totally amazing, I love all the details and your sticktuitivness is inspiring! Absolutely Amazing! 🙂
