Thank you so much for watching! I truly appreciate it 😊 You can find my closet dimensions and all the tools that I used over on my blog: homewithstefani.com/closet-makeover-part-1/
Omg My closet is exactly identical to yours! I am looking forward to seeing the progress from beginning to end for some inspiration for my own dream closet!
THIS is legit DIY. Working on the ground, minimal amount of tools. No fancy 100k workshop. This makes me happy to find as a DIY. I always run across the "DIY" where they have thousands in equipment and tools. Thank you.
TBF they're all DYI. The more you get into DYI, the more tools you end up getting. You really just need a circular saw and a drill to build whatever you want. The more tools you add, the easier, more refined, and better finish your build has. For example, she used pocket holes, which is another tool to add refinement to the product.
Girl, you did that!!! You need to, if you’re not already, advertise your skills and make plenty of money. You did this just the way I want to do mine, with “ MY” ideas, not Home Depot or IKEA, and they are cheaper than the “Closet Professionals” that charge you for every little detail. This isn’t someone else’s pre-fab boards; These are “THE REAL DEAL”!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!
Hi Stefani, thank you so much for sharing this video. On 2021 I was looking a video that shows exactly what you exposed on this. Immediately I began to construct mine with different material (pvc). And in a week I finished it. I’m so proud of my closet and of myself. It was my first attempt. I love it ❤️
WOW!! You are a badass. I'm looking for a closet organizer and not having any luck. You have inspired me to possibly give it a go. You are a talented lady. Thank you
Simply put, you are amazing! I've done this before and I am getting ready to do this again for my daughter and I can't tell you how inspiring you were to watch doing this! No matter how you did what you did (and there are many ways to do everything; the way you did built this closet was excellent and well thought through. So impressive. Keep up the good work!
Girl I LOVE this. Have been wanting to do this to my closet in the house we bought a few months ago. Such an elevated and more organized look. Thanks for sharing!!
Stefani, my wife and brother said I needed to comment and thank you because I referred to your videos so often. I found myself saying Stefani said to do it like this. So much so, my family thought Stefani was a close friend.(LOL) Thank you again for your videos.
The tarva hack is genius!!! I have being trying to figure out our long narrow walk in closet and considered so many options as well, this gave me the courage to do it on my own! Love a woman who does her own building and DIYs. New Subbie! This is fantastic, gonna go watch part 2 now!
This is the first time a video of yours popped up in my recommendations and I'm so glad I clicked on it. You make me feel like I could build something, too. What? I have a drill and a level. *cracks herself up* I'm just crafty, not buildy. On to part two!
This was THE best DIY closet makeover I have ever seen! SO helpful! Was debating the exact same thing! Ikea PAX wardrobe, closet organizing systems...all SO expensive and this video was AWESOME!! I will for sure be doing this for my walk-in closet!
Go video: Tip from longtime experience with doors, pop the pins, that way for reinstall you just have to put the pins back in. Also use a flat bar driven in under the carpet strip nails perpendicular to tack strips and you can take the whole strip up with only a few bangs on each nail.
11:48 IKEA furniture got me like this too. 😆 🤣 the I realize my mistake. You are an amazing woman tackling things on your own. Im getting ideas from you. Thank you for sharing.
How many videos of men building things do viewers make comments about the person's physique? Unless the video is about dieting or exercise or body building, why go off topic?
Wow you're amazing!!! My husband and I started remodeling our home and we almost died when we found out how much built-in closets cost. Saved your video so I can reference this when it's time 👏👏👏
the dressers were a great idea and they match the wood around it perfectly! (in the future, you should change the drawer slides for the dressers so that it holds more and is more stable!
OUCH! Bare feet around those IKEA stud posts! I've put a half dozen of those through the bottoms of my shoes over the years! Brave woman! On a serious note, nicely done. Most people do not consider hybrids. They either do full DIY or full store-bought. Nicely done!
Nicely done. FYI: For future closet remodels, you can save yourself a step by screwing your base frame into the bottom plate of the wall, rather than having to locate studs.
I kept seeing this video pop up in my feed, I am so glad I watched it!! I am now binge watching all your videos now. Your work and talent is amazing! Keep up the awesome work, I can't wait for more videos! Could you possibly do ones about a kitchen renovation? I would love to see that!
Wow, looks great and very good work. The only suggestion I'd have for anyone that replicates this. Try not to glue large pieces of wood to sheet rock. When the wood contracts just a tiny bit, it can put stress on the drywall and even cause small cracks. And if you ever decide to change the space, you'll have a wall that needs a lot of repair. A few pocket hole screws should work.
just a heads up, when you take a door off the hinges, you just pop the pin in each hinge. Taking the screws out increases the chances of stripping the holes out and messing up the door.
One thing to consider, even purchasing before an impact/driver (referring to the spirited debate in the comments lol), some knee pads. They'll help under a range of conditions/home improvement projects and they're like a patella vacation. Hope that's helpful.
I love Girl Kick Ass movies! watching you build this while your husband stood on the baseboard made me think "she's kickass with that drill". LOL. looks great!
We are getting ready to DIY our closet and watched your video. We looked at Closet Maid, IKEA, and a few others, but decided we would do our own. Nothing seemed to be exactly what we wanted for our closet. Thanks for all your great ideas. We’ll learn from your ideas! Watching your videos reminded us of our daughter who does a lot of home remodeling and repairs ♥️
Omg yes you gave me the best idea ever I’ve been trying to find a way to add drawers to my closet never even thought about buying one from ikea ❤️ malm for me that’s what the rest of our furniture is
This is a very interesting project. Video nicely done. The only item I had doubts about was the 2x4 base. Were those 2x4s regular, non-treated wood? I don't know how well they would hold up on bare concrete flooring without a barrier in-between. Concrete and bare, untreated wood do not interface well.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. A few of questions, that will help as I am fixing to start my closet revamp... 1. Is the base build out of treated wood? My understanding is that it is required by code for any wood touching the ground or slab to be treated. 2. Can you give the model # of the Ryobi nail gun you were using? 3. Is there a particular reason for using pocket holes for attaching verticals to the top shelf? Can one use screws ir nails from the top straight into the vertical boa4d? Thanks in advance for anyone answering, and sharing their knowledge.
Great video! TFS 😃 another hack- when taking the door off; take the pins out of the hinges. Then put the pin in the hinge part on the wall. It’s faster & you don’t run the risk of having to re-drill holes in the door. 😬 Edit- that’s for IF you’re putting the door back 😬
Yes indeed, I carefully taped off and painted the architraves around my mother-in-law's seven doors and was trying to remove the eighth door to replace carpet when I spotted the hinge pins..... AARĢHHH! You learn something every day.
Thank you so much for your detailed information on your steps. I want to customize my walk-in closet but felt very intimidated. But, now I'm confident I can complete it. Thanks again from your new follower. Stay healthy.
We are moving from the french Alpes to south of france and we have a walk in closet in our new house that really need TLC and we looked around but we thought like you everything was expensive, so we will steel this great idea, great job. and thank you
@@Struthio_Camelus You should put together IKEA furniture with a glass of wine. The glass is obligatory, it is drawn on the box, sometimes even two or three.
Kneepads, Miss. I learned that the hard way while building a floor for my attic. I might take this project on, sooner than later. There are good ideas in the video. Thank you.
Very cool! Good deal not relying on just the liquid nails, after demoing several houses I have noticed, on a finished surface if it does adhere it only to the paint layer. Most of the time it doesn't stick to even high grit sanded wood.
Wow your amazing!! I just watched all three videos and I wish I could do a fraction of what you did. I have an awkward closet that I don’t know how to reconfigure but this is giving me hope

Dont want to remove the cornice as it will cause too much mess. Oh well, have to redesign the closet....
Amazing job! One tip though ! Bend with your knees not your waist or you gonna suffer from chronical pain in the future! Just try to sit like you do squats rather than getting your head towards your knees. Keep up!
Well done! Sadly, I just did something like this for my daughter's closet. I wish I had seen this before, It would've helped with idea. I am on the hook for more closet renovations in the house, so I'll put your ideas to work on those. Cheers!

Well glueing stuff on walls is indeed legit crappy DIY
I feel you man they all seem to have their own work shops like WTF this isn't real DIY Y'ALL MF are just professional contractors
I'm with you. I hate seeing the DIY videos where it's like "All you need to do this is this $10,000 tool and 10 people!"
They are still DIY, just with better tools than you have.
Girl, you did that!!! You need to, if you’re not already, advertise your skills and make plenty of money.

Same thing I was thinking. This is the second video recently I have seen where they have done this. Door removal takes seconds if you pop the pins.
