    If you use only one door for your closet, you could hang a shoe bag or rack on the back of the door. That way you may be able to fit your shoes in the closet. Also, if you hang your pants on the top pole, you may be able to fit some items on the middle shelf.

    I’ve been sorry for your green carpet for years. So excited to see your improvements to the bedroom. Just remember dark solid carpet will show lint horribly in my experience. You’re doing a great job. Love the reading nook idea.

    You should treat yourself to all new slim line, matching hangers. They will help with space and hanging length and look great.

  • @elizabethpaul989
    @elizabethpaul989 2 года назад +6

    Getting there. Buying the slim hangers is a great idea Don’t buy too many things before you get to try out the closet so you don’t have to return items.

  • @wandaoo4020

  • @fayevandeveer5872
    @fayevandeveer5872 2 года назад +7

    Sophia, if you trade out the top shelf with the shelf you did not put up, it has the same front slot where you will be able to slide the clothes a little like the middle shelf you installed. This will allow you to reach your cubbies better!

    • @lauramitchell6725
      @lauramitchell6725 2 года назад +1

      Plus ,hanging individual hangers in each slot will get old quickly. Yes trade the shelves,put up the new one.

  • @katharinedodson9330
    @katharinedodson9330 2 года назад +5

    Anytime you need to get into the attic you have to remove all the stuff and the shelves to get the cubby out.
    I hope you dont need to go in there too often. What a pain that would be !

  • @sherryhudson9075
    @sherryhudson9075 2 года назад +6

    Try hanging your longest shirts to the far right and the shorter ones on the left. Maybe that will work

    The top notch on the shelf is meant to hang on a mounted rail. Makes it easy to line up each hanger.

  • @maryfindley434
    @maryfindley434 2 года назад +6

    Definitely get rid of the plastic hangers and get matching felt covered thin hangers. They work great. The closet looks fantastic.

    • @joseseijo7960
      @joseseijo7960 2 года назад

      Not a personal fan of thin velvet hangers; they break constantly. No more for us….

    • @njgomez66
      @njgomez66 2 года назад

      I agree, and they are not as low hanging as the plastic ones, clothes clearly hang like 2 inches higher than on plastic ones

    I was born and raised in Appalachian. My dad built our house with rough lumber. He wasn't a builder but we got a lot of use out of that old house. As the family grew, he added on.

  • @dianac.1264

    Your closet is turning out so nicely!!! Will you have to remove the wire shelf to get in the attic? Minor hassle to have closet space. Wooooohoooooo!!!

  • @luella2897
    @luella2897 2 года назад +3

    Sophia, Before you try to put on the drywall, I really think you need to remove the metal bar that is on the outside of the wood frame, left of the closet doorway. It will probably be in the way of the drywall laying flat against that framework. You are doing a great job of figuring this all out!! Love the cubby shelf unit!

  • @lkk4928
    @lkk4928 2 года назад +2

    Sophia, Great job! At first I was going to suggest for your shoes one of those "shoe cabinets" from Ikea for the balcony wall. They look like a piece of furniture and the doors tip out and they are shallow but then you said you were moving your bike to that wall so not sure of the depth of area there, some of the cabinets are approx 6 1/2 inches deep. I then had the idea of an over the door cloth shoe hanger simply "nailed" to the inside of your closet, the wall to the left of the door frame perpendicular to the cubbie you built. I think it could be cut narrower to fit that wall..... just throwing ideas out to explore different possibilities as you go along. I am really enjoying seeing the progress and I am pretty excited to see the finished room!

  • @elizabeth75000
    @elizabeth75000 2 года назад +3

    Love the series! Be careful with your good bags...the shelving will leave indents in the leather etc. You may want to look into the plastic mat/sheathing that you can line them with.

  • @Patricia.R.
    @Patricia.R. 2 года назад +3

    Great job Sophia! It’s starting to shape up. The vision is coming alive. I hope the cubby works out ( practically speaking). I do remember years ago when you had a shelf in the far corner of the current closet and you didn’t hardly access it. ( that was old cluttered Sophia, but no more!) Being this is Sophia’s “HER” closet you will probably access that cubby better than the previous shelf. I am wondering about your jewelry cabinet, will it fit in the closet wall as you enter the bathroom? I loved hearing about all the coming projects after your closet is done. Oh! The shelving system is what I used for shoes in my tiny closet. We have a bar and a small slant shelf for shoes. I also use the pants hangers. They’re so handy! Some people don’t like them, because of the maintenance it takes to hang the pants. But I love them! Go get pink slim hangers too! 👏🏻👏🏻

  • @leanneb6622
    @leanneb6622 2 года назад +3

    I amazed at how quickly you have been able to achieve this. You are way ahead of schedule. I was also really impressed with the wallpaper you hung being level too. I enjoy when you chat through the possibilities. The vent at the top of the roof is called a ridge vent in Canada. Not sure if US has another term to use. I look forward to every video you post. You have mastered a variety of skills. @homedepot you need to sponsor Sophia because she speaks so highly of your store and I agree it is so easy to shop there. I love walking through all the model kitchens and bathrooms they have set up in my homedepot. Oh a helpful tip for finding a stud since you took off the baseboard is looking below the drywall or home depot should send you a studfinder and a laser level 😉

  • @wishbonecaninerescue6637
    @wishbonecaninerescue6637 2 года назад +3

    Looks great! If you skip the bi-fold doors and do a regular door you could get one of those shoe storage hanging organizers and put it on the back (inside) of the door.

  • @arleneneme

    @grannylyn757 2 года назад +1

    Hi, darlin,,,,I'm not sure if I'm the only one to say this, ,,,but if you DON'T drywall the inside of the closet, the horizontal studs will give you free shelving,,,,just paint the studs, and they are wide enough to screw cuphooks into, or use them to store extra toiletries, hair products, etc,,,,,In my craft room, I used pretty tacks to string elastic from side to side to hold interfacing, wrappings, bags,,,it sure is a waste of space to close that up!

    You could snip and shorten the lower shelf and then get a hanging shoe holder that way you can easily move the shoes when needed. Yes, a bit behind in the series so you may have already done this...I'll find out when I catch up lol.

  • @MarisaAndChew
    @MarisaAndChew 2 года назад

    I've got a walk in closet and it's basically a shelf with a rod that goes the length and then on the end wall I stack the extra bedding. It's nice when it comes to putting stuff in hiding at Christmas but honestly, you're not missing out! It's another space to put "stuff" that I don't really even need or use and therefore another space that I need to declutter, dust, vacuum etc. The only nice thing is that I can walk in and see all my clothes instead of having walls hiding the ends, but it looks like you'll likely have that ability as well, maybe not a walk in, but a step in? Less is definitely more! I have carpet and I bet you the closet has only been thoroughly vacuumed (every inch) once or twice in the last few years! As your kids get older, if you really want a dressing room and the big walk in closet, you could always renovate one of their rooms if they're not using it. At this phase and with how you're trying to only have what you need, I think this closet is perfect for you! I do suggest getting some plastic dollar store place mats for over the shelves where you'll be placing anything leather, or you will permanently get lines in your bags, or use a basket for them. I personally have a wooden coat hanger on the wall that I hang my bags from but I'm sure that's not ideal for the handles. Love this makeover Sophia! Can't wait to see the entire room finally done! 💜

    Great job Sophia! But why get rid of the dresser? I personally would keep it for underwear, socks, big sweaters, swimsuits. I feel like your bedroom is roomy enough for a small dresser/ chest of drawer. I’m afraid if you get rid of the dresser your closet will be too crammed.

    If you wanted to add space for dresses you could cut back one side of the waist high shelf to the bracket and hang them from the top. My husband is a retired builder. He once built a closet with the same shelves for an older man. He called to complain that there was nowhere to hang his clothes. We explained how to hang them on the horizontal edges but he still wasn't happy. Some people can't handle change.

    I didn't see if anyone commented this already but those rod brackets I believe the rod goes on the little U at the end not down in the crook. It might make the clothes stick out forward a bit but they should end up at about the same height. It just seems like it'd be easier to be able to slide the clothes out of the way if needed.

    Are you considering LVP flooring? We did it throughout our whole house and we did it ourselves, it's not hard to work with and it's so pretty and easy to clean!

    Great job. Now I will go and paint my bathroom and decide on wallpaper. You are an inspiration. Love from Denmark.

    You're doing a wonderful job! I look forward each day to see what you do next. I have one question. I don't know how often you need to but, you mentioned earlier on about being able to get into the attic. If you need to, how will you get in? Will you have to take all the clothes out and take down the shelves so you can move the cubby shelf out of the way? Not an impossible task but tedious. Or is it not a concern since you rarely go in there?
