All the other videos kill me with them saying diy closets when it's just them buying Ikea closets that's there putting together their selfs this is actually a diy thank u

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.

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.)

I did not, but those hangers sound great. We're okay for hanging space right now, but I'll definitely keep that in mind for the future.
