After removing two closets for bathroom space we desperately needed closet space. My hubby had the brilliant idea of expanding out into the attic area. There was already a beautiful door in my husband's room that accessed the attic so from there began the plan. While my closet downstairs is wonderful and equally creative, I did become a bit jealous as he started putting on the finishing touches. Well, let's be honest - what I am jealous of is the size! The closet is definitely very manly - it is raw wood all around. The window you see was there but had no glass - it was just wooden slats. We put in a new window and then framed out the space after full insulation. There is one supporting beam that you still need to be alert of so as not to hit your head.
This view is from that window looking out on the corner of Oak Street and First Street.
There are shoe shelves right in the middle under the window and on both sides are areas for hanging clothes plus more hanging for pants over by the "door" to the other half of the attic.
Because the house is symmetrical it would be possible to create an equivalent sized closet in the other bedroom. I'm not ready to jump back into the chaos for a big closet but it wouldn't be out of the question.
