The Master Bedroom Closet

Bryan cutting the opening

Our downstairs bedroom had one long, narrow and difficult to access closet.  We decided on a fairly easy fix of sectioning off a one foot section at the closet entrance for a shoe closet and the opening up the side wall to create a more efficient use of space for the clothing.  Because the doorway for the new clothing closet is not visible when you enter the room we decided to leave it open.

This window looks out on the back yard.

After we framed in the shoe closet I painted the interior and shelves were made at  appropriate shoe levels - taller at the bottom for boots.

The closet is 9 feet tall so there is enough space for 3 bars for clothing on the left and then one additional bar on the top right.  I need to get up on a small ladder to reach the top bar but I store clothing there that is more occasional wear.
