Looking on the Bright Side of a Disaster.

By DesigningMom Mdf_boards_stained_large

Have you ever thought about a custom closet, but were afraid of how much it would cost?  Well be afraid no more!  Get some graph paper and a pencil.  Take measurements of your closet, both walls & floor and graph it all.  I use small (ten squares to the inch) graph paper so I have each square represent three inches.Decide how much space (width) you need for slacks, dresses & coats and then for shirts & skirts.  This will tell you how many double and single rodded areas you'll need.  If you love shoes or sweaters you'll want some shelves made just for them too.  We had space for extra... »MORE
