Thank you so much ! You e,,ncourage me to do mine, however I bought a terrible Brad nailer that I just donate it, was difficult to use ,I hope you can let me know what brand is your, so I don't buy another one is not going to work, please help me. Thank you👏👏

[@laurarondan6537]

You are awesome for getting this done. Great job! It all looks amazing! I looked through your blog and videos and I couldn't find where the name of the Sherwin Williams paint color you used. Would you supply it please? Thank you!

[@dimples53209]

I love what you did to your closet. Is it possible to get the dimensions of your shelves. My closet wall dimensions is 86" (12" deep)x122" (22" deep)x30"(15.75" deep) x43.5" (15.75" deep). I am having issues coming up with widths of the hanging section and cu by section. The hanging section will be the 122" wall and the cubby section will be the 86". The other two walls will have dressers.

[@carlpetitt2241]

Hi Stefani, nice work. A suggestion for future projects -- after doing a lot of built-ins and other work in my own house, I realized it was a lot easier for me to do as much pre-finishing as possible before installing and assembling everything. Sanding all the shelves and sides, and priming and painting of the plywood parts before installing, should make things much easier. Then you only have to sand and paint the trim once it's installed, but all the shelves and cavities and all of that will already be finished. Good luck!

[@mannycastillo-b6c]

I checked the blog and both videos but can’t find the price breakdown comparison. Can you please share the link or list it here ?

[@mickester]

Ain't no way this video has been around for 4 years and I've been wasting countless hours on YT trying to find a really really good step by step closet makeover video. It's now 2024 and I can tell this is the best DIY video I've seen on here.

[@jazminevaughan5635]

REALLY beautiful work. I was just lamenting to my husband how none of the KZbin DIYers do quality work, it's all what I call '50 footers', looks good from 50 feet away, but really terrible up close. You are the exception, quality work that will stand the test of time. And beautiful to boot! Well done!!

[@AL-zy6kx]

You go girl! I’m a girl dad of three, I showed my girls your video! Great job....chalk one up for the girls!

[@robertallenmcdowell]

I liked the extensive use of pocket screws. Noticed your technique of pre-cut spacers so every shelf was exactly the same height. Very good job.

[@HomeWithStefani]

Thank you for noticing! 👍

[@BayouDreamz]

You sanded and caulked your *closet*. I am truly in awe.

You made it look so easy and doable, but I know how much work and effort would have gone into the whole thing. And recording the entire process must have added on to the effort as well.

Really nice work!!! My Dad never had an impact driver so I never knew they existed but I recently saw the light and I guarantee getting one will change your life 👍 I now have a 12V drill/impact driver (lighter weight for 90% of my projects) as well as a 24V drill and 20V impact driver for those jobs that require more power. Makes driving those screws effortless!

ive been trying to talk my wife into this project, and she was against it until this video! thank you!!! ill try to video like you did and show the progress

[@HomeWithStefani]

Awesome! Thanks for watching and good luck with your project!

[@radair07]

I stumbled upon this video because I was down a home improvement/DIY KZbin rabbit hole. I was already pretty sure I was going to subscribe, but the way you set up the knobs for the dresser to be spray painted sealed the deal, haha. There were so many things in this video where I was like, “Damn, that’s so smart! I would’ve never thought to do it that way!” I knew I was missing things when I DIYed that would make my work look more professional, but I wasn’t exactly sure how they were accomplished. This video showed all the little things that make a project look more professional and make it easier to do. Super helpful!

[@HomeWithStefani]

Thank you for watching! 😊

Wonderful job. WOW. We are remodeling soon and adding a walk in closet near this size. I love what you did and will share it with my wife.

[@myrtlebeachsara]

@Pat Media thank you, I was also curious!

[@kklc]

Plywood and wood is overkill for a closet. It'd be cheeper, faster and better (for example: drawers with a brake) if she just used white chipboard which is cheaper and no painting needed. Making drawers all of chipboard is way lot easier than you think.

[@robertocig1975]

It looks incredible! I like the way you first use Sketchup to visualize your project, and then the execution is flawless. To use the Ikea is a great idea, as it saves the effort on a very complex task, the drawers. Very nice job, my hats off.

[@deborahmeighen3855]

Stefani, thank you so much for your awesome videos! We used the basic idea that you created with your closet and modified it a little to fit our closet needs. We needed more hanging clothes space so we went with a single dresser in the closet along with more space for the clothes rods. Since we were building from a subfloor we went with 1x3 lumber in the floor under the bottom plywood, but your ideas really put us on the right track! The profile pic is a pic of our finished product :)

[@TheAmazingRowen]

Such fantastic guidance! Well done, well done indeed!! My only addition is if you're going to lay it down on concrete you should use pressure-treated lumber. Wood never stops soaking up moisture even in the desert... Eventually you will have mold and rot.

Not true. Her husband is the one who did all the measurements and cuts. All clips are of her just screwing in stuff in besides the cubbies. Still a good job just not solely done by her. If she showed her cutting and doing everything now that would be impressive.

[@mirameejung]

Wow! First of all, your carpentry skills are incredible! 🤩 I’ve been doing a lot of research on custom closets which brought me to your KZbin channel and three part video series; and gotta say, your custom closet build is beautifully done! May I ask what kind of lumber you used for the 2x4s and plywood? (cedar, oak, pine, etc.?) I went to your blog post to see if you mention type of wood, but I didn’t see anything on lumber aside from the cost breakdown. Anyhow- I really enjoyed this custom closet build, I’m going to watch your home office makeover series next! ☺️

[@HomeWithStefani]

Thanks so much, Mira! I have a list of building materials on my Part 1 & Part 2 blog post. Here's the link to part 1: homewithstefani.com/closet-makeover-part-1/ I used regular pine 2x4's, Sande plywood and select pine for the trim from Home Depot 😊

[@dennisranck1613]

When I saw you building the platform in the first part of this video, I was trying to figure out exactly what that is for. But I am thinking about it now and that would be a good way to run my low voltage wires for an LED strip. If you would have put an LED strip inside every cubby or every other Covey, there would be plenty of light. Unfortunately, I am thinking that some of your Cubbies will be hard to see. Also, what I am going to do in my pantry, which is what I am going to use my baseboard is to have a light occupancy sensor.

Adding LED strip lights would look so nice!

A lot of places that sell wood, such as Home Depot and some Lowe’s, also cut the wood to size for no extra charge. If you get it done at those locations, I would add an additional 1/4 to 1/2 inch, and you can just power sand down to size.

[@lordrichard8184]

Although it’s a little annoying you should hook the sander up to a shop vac to help reduce the dust. Sometimes they have a direct vacuum attachment. For my dewalt sander I had to make one out of pvc pipe. I just heated it up till it was super flexible then shoved it together and let it cool. I’ve also had good luck using 2” masking tape to tape it all together for a temporary solution.

Nice job!! Looks good. The only thing thing to point out maybe for future projects is that you should have built your 2x4 base out of treated lumber since it is in direct contact with the concrete which means it will draw moisture from the concrete. Hopefully it won't cause any problems but figured I would share that with you for next time.
