I tore out the simple shallow closet we had and put in a custom pantry with built-in drawers. Huge improvement.
You can see the BEFORE pictures on the bottom of this project. I took a picture of my neighbors house and their exact closet we had. They are the BEFORE house for all my projects I did.
First I gutted out the door and the side wall. Behind that light switch is our main plumbing downspout. I thought of relocating it but adding bends into sewer lines is not the way you want to get rid of waste, so I left it right where it is.
I had to build a new side wall and a base to raise it up a bit. You can see where I tore down the existing crown molding on that wall.
I built 2 main sections… the very top box and the main area which I initially only split on the top.
I left space on the top for the crown molding and a half round molding detail I have everywhere else.
