It’s been 4 months considering that I moved into the brand-new home, and yes, the bedroom closet is lastly completed! It was truly rather a simple task, however when life is insane, it decreases your capability to get things done. Our closet has actually come a long method …

… everything started with eliminating the popcorn (oh, the popcorn)…

… and lastly painting …

Once the walls were prepped, it was off to house depot. Prior to you travel, keep in mind to get a concept of how you desire the completed item to look.

Depending upon the size of your closet and how you’re preparing to design whatever, you might have the ability to purchase a few of the pieces currently cut to the best size. Although our closet determined 79″ long, we purchased products that were 72″ long (6′). This provided us a couple of inches on each side of the racks and such. For our closet, we purchased the following products:

• ( 2) 1 × 12 6 feet pine boards
• ( 2) 1.5″ 6 feet pine dowel rods
• ( 8) white hanging brackets
• # 8– 5/8″ screws

• Paint brush

Begin by gently sanding down any rough edges on your boards and dowel rods. You will desire it to be smooth. Next, take your wood sealant and put a light coat on the boards and dowel rods.

We utilized Varathane Triple Thick Polyurethane in the satin surface. It is extremely thick and dries rapidly. (With this action, you have 2 options. You can either stain the wood to be a various color prior to sealing it, or you can leave out the sealing procedure completely. It is not essential to seal the wood prior to utilizing it; nevertheless, we used a thin coat simply to assist secure the wood a little in addition to aid to smooth any of the roughness.) After using the polyurethane, enable it to dry. On the other hand, you can begin hanging the brackets in the closet.

Now that you have your very first bracket connected to the wall, you can start utilizing it as a recommendation point for your other brackets. Utilizing the level, discover the appropriate places on the wall for your surrounding brackets, and mark those points with the pencil. Continue doing this with the staying brackets up until they have actually all been hung. This will be the more difficult part of the job.

Next, you might put your board on top of the brackets. Center it throughout the 4 brackets, and after that utilize your 5/8″ nails to protect your board. We utilized 2 screws for each bracket (an overall of 8 for each board). Repeat for the other board.

For the dowel rod, just position it in the bracket and protect it with a single 5/8″ screw for each bracket. Repeat this action too for the other dowel rod.

You must now have actually a finished closet! Although this is a standard setup, it will permit a lot of wall mount area in addition to 2 racks for storage. Naturally, this might quickly be customized with other products, designs, and so on, however this is an excellent method to optimize your closet area and provide you an excellent looking closet.
