DIY CLOSET SYSTEM WITH BOOKSHELVES

[@kejuanlynette8531]

I know this is about your closet (which turned out beautifully), but I’m stuck staring at YOUR HAIR!!! It’s so thick and healthy!

[@Brittaneee]

Aww thank you!! Lol

[@jeanetteramos3527]

Great job sweetie look forward to more of your vlogs thx for sharing

[@LaceyRena]

I went down a rabbit hole trying to find a detailed closet DIY and girllll thankkk youuuu!!! THIS IS THE ONE! I know exactly what to buy now and you took all the guesswork out of this for me. Thank you a million times over. You did a fantastic job! Your closet is perfection. ❤

[@deyigarcia4540]

Hey, in that corner, you hang your long dresses or long clothes. You can hang from the wire shelf you are not taking down. Since you don’t use those clothes all time, they won’t be a pain since there is no actual pole there. You did an awesome job!

[@Brittaneee]

That’s actually a really good idea!

[@adorimonroe1]

Never even thought about this until now. Now I have so many ideas for my kid’s rooms 😊

[@SimplyMee..228]

Turned out very nice !! Add a mirror to the wall …and one of those big plants to disguise the corner …

[@besosbonitas6431]

This is exactly what I was thinking. A mirror above the shorter cabinet/bookcase and a plant in the corner. She could also do a lamp or like someone else said...use the corner to hang longer garments like coats/dresses.

[@dgexpressllc7450]

What about a huge, full length mirror on the empty wall and corner glass shelves?

[@Brittaneee]

I was going to do a basic closet but decided to step it up a notch halfway through the video 😂 do you like how it turned out?! I hope this video was detailed and helpful if you decide to do it yourself 😌

[@lavonnewashington4769]

Just what I needed to see you help me a lot

[@lalakeneni]

You have given me SO much to think about. I'm so glad I came across your video. I'm converting a spare bedroom into a walk-in closet and I'm not able to spend thousands of dollars for that built-in look but that's the look I really want. I was going to settle for wire racks but I'm too old to be settling at this point. I've been thinking about this for almost a year and this is the first time I've seen someone using basic white bookcases and turning them into clothing racks. THANK YOU!!!💐💐💐

[@Nonamegirl1]

THIS was the video I was looking for when I remade my closet in my apartment last year! The same wire wrack hack, the same bookshelf Target hack. I just couldn't figure out the rods and gave up, I accidentally bought some flimsy thin ones in a 5 back on Amazon that were so tiny. But had I seen this video, I'd have known what to do. This was super detailed and I felt like I was redoing my closet again watching this. You made a damn good video.

[@Brittaneee]

Aww thank you! & hey I would say redo it! Sometimes the first diy is a learning experience lol 😩

[@Orwellwascorrect]

You did an amazing job that looks so professional.

[@BambiiRenae]

💜The outcome is beautiful! I love a creative DIY dupe 👏🏽!

[@Brittaneee]

Thank you ❤️

[@diane22327]

Looks really good. Congrats to you!! I think a mirror in the vanity area would look great too. An idea for you… I saw another DIYer use black electrical tape and for you, I’d try it on the front of the closets to outline them. The one I saw looked super cool!! Congrats again!!

[@dmariemt2024]

This is actually pretty smart. I was just putting back my closet and actually buying an actual closet thing on home depot was preeeeeetty expensive. You did the same thing for a fraction of the price.

[@Brittaneee]

Thank you! I really winged it all so I’m so happy with how it out lol

[@sharetac9296]

Hi, turned out nice. The hangers can be purchased in the kids size which fit better in the closet. They aren’t as long, but are great. I used them for my pants. ❤

[@mizzaquarius5505]

Great video with clear explanations!! Thank you! And your closet looks great! 😀👍🏾

[@JQueenLeoC]

The little gap in the corner would be perfect for a standing coat rack, for hats, bags, or wigs if you have any.

[@MKLuciouSTV]

For a more sleek look with the lights, if it's within budget i recommend rechargeable cabinet lights the make them linear so they aren't as bulky and provide more light per section since they're linear. They're available in different types like motion sense, etc. I think they're definitely worth the money and are more of investment in the long run since they're rechargeable. Also for the corner, you could always get an artificial tree or artificial hanging plant just to fill the gap or if you have the patience, install a couple of floating shelves and make the corner functional. If you already haven't done it, I also highly recommend a full length mirror on the bare wall with a sconce over it for extra light. 😸. I'm living vicariously through you 😹

[@Brittaneee]

I was actually thinking that! I don’t like the fact that I can see them lol

[@aimeechas]

you could do a smaller bookcase in the corner with it facing the short one you have installed. Give it some sort of base and then you'd have even more shelving storage. I LOVED this video - so real and inspiring!

[@cocor8980]

Great job! U gave me good ideas for 2024🎉!! Thank Ya!❤

[@AdrianeMc0685]

Nice! Turned out so cute!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@Brittaneee]

Thank you! 😊

[@laurenburtonrichardson6853]

You did a great job. Just a little add on. You can get a little rod for the corner to hang your long dresses. Don't leave that space blank. Use what you have. Also if you remove the things on top you can add a 3 cube shelf up top. Or even the 4 cube shelf to reach your ceiling.

[@Damianplaza]

I love it! I did add the remote control with velco and added it to the side of the shelf so it doesn't get lost. This is a great tutorial.

[@Brittaneee]

I already lost it once so definitely doing that 😭 lol

[@Damianplaza]

@@Brittaneee velcro is the best for remotes!

[@happinessisachoice9888]

Turned out beautiful!!!

[@sherm5223]

this entire vlog was a really enjoyable journey to watch. I want to do this too and my closet seems the same size as yours. Thanks for sharing! Really excited to get this project going

[@Brittaneee]

I’m so happy to hear that 🥹 & yaay you’re gonna love it

[@alee9961]

Well done!!!! Looks great, and your video is extremely helpful 😊

[@MsHoneyFly11]

Love how it turned out. The black hangers and all your shoes look great too. I would prob put a nice mirror on that wall near the entrance and def get some sort of closed storage bins for the folded clothes on the shelves to keep it neat. Maybe those grey fabric bins with the lid from 🎯 would look nice

[@Brittaneee]

I appreciate it 😌 & yes! definitely going to add some wall decor, and organize it a bit more

[@angelewilliams6637]

I hope you are proud...you done a Great Job!🎉

[@Brittaneee]

Aw thank you so much!

[@elbaseda6306]

Love it that empty wall a big mirror great job

[@gingerproject888network6]

I like the idea!! For me,I would use costal wheels under the shelves so I can rolll it around. Also, the shoes can go in the under bed shoe storage that would give the shelves more for clothes.

[@Msbeautifullydefined]

I really like the black contrast most people just do the all white and the color is overwhelming

[@knorag]

Hi I love what you did to your closet. I just have one suggestion If that's alright. I think you can still switch side of short and long book shelves by taking down the wire shelve. and just used the top of book shelves for extra storage. Also there's those long wood shelving that come in white you can buy it from Lowe's or Home Depot I think you would like them better than the wire shelve. I hope you don't mind my suggestion. Thanks.

[@mariahharper6344]

Your closet looks amazing

[@sarahsutherland213]

Looks amazing! Going to Target with my Christmas money ASAP!

[@Brittaneee]

Ooo yes !

[@nkouamicharlene1193]

Ouuu I’ve been seeing this all over tiktok. Good job Brit 😊

[@Brittaneee]

Thank you!! 😌

[@latoyabruce3533]

This looks great!!

[@sapjack7039]

Waaaait! You're the 'how to wine' girl on tiktokkk!! I knew your side/back profile looked familiar 😂

[@Brittaneee]

LOL yes 😭 heeey 👋🏽 💛

[@ciaralamkin]

Well done project and video 👏🏻 I love this!! ❤

[@BigM7ke]

Very insightful and creative while staying a good budget. Thanks for sharing! Going to transform my closet now

[@Brittaneee]

You are so welcome!

[@beyondview]

good job that corner area could be used as another place to hang clothes. But it looks really good!

[@sabinemarie2159]

Wow! Girl you did that!!❤❤❤

[@Brittaneee]

Thank yooou!

[@PTT-w1m]

You could move (relocate) that shelf support to allow you to move the other shelf over there .

[@Brittaneee]

I would but I didn’t want to create any extra holes 😩 I was over it lol. I might add some shelves above the smaller bookcase though, and a piece of white wood to close off the open hole.

[@cassiebrunson1590]

This was amazing!!!!❤

[@MeMeMeyer]

you can use that corner for umbrellas!!!

[@sharondalewis1620]

Ooh, I'd put a pretty contact paper on the background of the shelves, they have affordable options on Amazon

[@dianbarnhart2745]

You could hang a full length mirror and jewelry hangers on the blank wall to finish ir off.

[@rotjames1]

❤ love this!!!! Can’t wait to try some of these features in my closet .

[@Brittaneee]

Yay! Thank you!

[@tocrazyjay]

Love this, I’m going to do my closet as well.

[@francesjeanlouis9285]

Great job! 👍🏾

[@Cobizybone]

Might seem like extra work, but I recommend using gorilla glue to put together. Maybe not necessary for closet shelves. But cabinets, tv stands or stand along shelves. You really made this look nice.

[@drbeautyglam7092]

u did a very good job !!!!

[@Tosha-g9n]

Awesome video … But I have one question when. I go to Target is there specific bookshelf to look for and you bought the rods from home depot

[@ingridajca989]

Girl it looks Amazing great job I’m definitely trying what’s the book shelf you used

[@Brittaneee]

Thank you!! And I used the 5 shelf bookcase from target 🎯

[@Mah_Sh_ell]

Pure Dopeness!!! Love it!😍 🔥🔥🔥

[@shirleyhicks4427]

😂😂😂😅😅 u almost broke your back!!! Great job girl

[@MzVee106]

I'm getting ready to do the same thing. I already have the black velvet bangers and we don't have any of the black rods in my area either; I've been looking 😔 What you could have done is switched the shelf and cube storage to the right side and it would have all been snug since there is no bracket on the right side. It turned out good though 👌🏾

[@Brittaneee]

Looks like you need to grab a can of spray paint! Lol & that was plan however there was a bracket blocking it that I did not want to remove 😩 so the cubed one had to go there

[@AW-ed2kn]

I’m just moving into my apartment and I think we have the same sized closet because my wire racks are in the same exact position as yours in your “before” makeover at the beginning so I can put mine similar to the way you did yours lol can I ask what is the length and width of your closet if you happen to know!? It would really help me a lot with planning to do this 😂

[@regalitodedios19]

I would put flushed shelves in that corner and it would create more storage

[@makinsbask-johnson5011]

Very detailed! Thank you😊

[@michelleford73]

I love it!!!

[@Brittaneee]

Thank you!

[@kimswrld5321]

Nice I like the white and black mixed ❤❤❤😊

[@Brittaneee]

Thank you!

[@MsMia70]

Nice job. How long did this take you?

[@tstyle1466]

I think you should put some floating shelf in the corner so you could put your purse on it

[@Vera-c7e]

Nice project! I think I can.

[@markitahart296]

Love it ❤

[@gaylesjourneyofprojects]

Thank you for the video, it really helped.

Hi question? How big is it I’m thinking of doing that nice great job tho it looks

[@lalakeneni]

Great🤨. I *thought* I had my soon-to-be walk-in figured out and then I come across your video and now I'm thinking that THIS idea is better than what I was originally thinking😭😉😂😂 Ma'am, you have given me a lot think about here. 😍I love how this looks!! 🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍 I was going to go with wire racks (VIPEK) because I didn't want to do any drilling into walls but this gives the same look as the built-ins with lower cost.🤔 Back to the design table I go!😂😂

[@savannahlovertn301]

Whats the name and size of the rod

[@blackdiamond3833]

Greetings Love! Where did you get your rods for your closet?

[@csnievessings]

A corner shelf would have fit in there or a revolving shoe rack. Otherwise it would be wasted space. But over all, it looks nice.

[@Petite_amazonian]

I love it.

[@brendamoon2660]

I have battery powered airfreshener sprayers all over my house and my grandsons have lots of battery powered toys. I buy amazon rechargeable batteries and a couple chargers from Amazon. I call it one of my best purchases

[@donnajanecastle4807]

Awesome!!

[@Goldwaterflow]

How much did it finally cost

[@Charlenemami]

Hey I watched the full video but the nails did they come already with the shelf or rods? or did u buy separately ?

[@Brittaneee]

They come with the rod, however they are too long, as the bookshelf is thin, so they will poke through the wood. I purchased shorter screws (shown in video) for the sides 😌

[@tonip2910]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@cheryllyneice]

Very nice❤

[@lauriehynson3820]

How big is your closet

[@funkebayeshea3714]

Did you have to drill the shelves to get the rod in?

[@Brittaneee]

I just used a screw driver and some arm strength lol

[@shekinahwilliams5885]

How can you hang dresses? I want to do this but I have a lot of long dressed and jackets and the bookcase is cut in half so it won’t hang right 😭

[@Brittaneee]

I actually saw someone hang dresses with that middle part and you couldn’t even tell 🤔 AT ALL. I hung my dresses to blend with my pants because I don’t like that way dresses look hung up lol. They look like pants and it’s clean! But from what I’ve seen you could still hang them with that middle shelve apparently

[@trinibombshelljade5782]

I prob missed it but is this just the 5shelf and u used a rod on top? This is what I’m tryna do

[@Brittaneee]

Yep! The rod I used in the video was perfect 😌

[@nedjinedorisca2287]

Which bookcase did you get?

[@Brittaneee]

The 5 shelf bookcase by room essentials from Target
