      Yes, and the other side of the spectrum is the “DIY” closet that takes them 3 weeks and $1,000 worth of tools. This is the first real DIY closet build I’ve found.

    It’s crazy. This is by far the most helpful video I’ve found. You got straight to the point, no man in sight which makes me feel empowered to do it myself, no complaining, didn’t take more than 1 day and then the editing of this video paired with your voice and calm spirit. The more elaborate closet systems cost a mortgage or make you feel like you’re in an AP math class with all of the dimensions.
    Can’t thank you enough. But thank you. ❤️

    This is fantastic, especially since you're showing a real closet, not a tiny bedroom that gets turned into a boutique. My house has only reach-in closets, but three were customized with shelves. My closet wasn't, so I bought mobile units and I don't like the way they look. This is definitely going to be a saved video. Thank you so much!

    Saw a similar design of this in a new built house when delivering cabinets and they had built some hallway storage wall shelves with the ladder style open closet. These are awesome. Plus, nothing more badass than a woman that can not only read a tape measure, but can do all of the wood working with finesse.

    This has really helped me!

This is simple enough to understand and thats exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much ❤

    Great job, thank you!!!! Did you ever calculate how much increased hanging space you got by doing this? (Btw, just fyi, you could fit at least 2x the amount of hanging clothing by switching to the flat, flocked hangers (the originals were called "huggable hangers" but there are now many knockoffs. Truly amazing space savers, but you have to replace ALL the hangers in order to get the effect.)

    • @LovelyEtc

    I absolutely love it, girl!!!! You have just inspired me, and for that, I love you!!!!!!!! What’s the thickness on that 2x6? I’m thinking 1/2” maybe 3/4”?

      The MDF is 3/4" thick so it's pretty sturdy. Then the trim is 1.5" thick so it makes it look really nice and substantial!
