Thank you so much for watching! I truly appreciate it 😊 You can find my closet dimensions and all the tools that I used over on my blog: homewithstefani.com/closet-makeover-part-1/
Omg My closet is exactly identical to yours! I am looking forward to seeing the progress from beginning to end for some inspiration for my own dream closet!
THIS is legit DIY. Working on the ground, minimal amount of tools. No fancy 100k workshop. This makes me happy to find as a DIY. I always run across the "DIY" where they have thousands in equipment and tools. Thank you.
TBF they're all DYI. The more you get into DYI, the more tools you end up getting. You really just need a circular saw and a drill to build whatever you want. The more tools you add, the easier, more refined, and better finish your build has. For example, she used pocket holes, which is another tool to add refinement to the product.
Girl, you did that!!! You need to, if you’re not already, advertise your skills and make plenty of money. You did this just the way I want to do mine, with “ MY” ideas, not Home Depot or IKEA, and they are cheaper than the “Closet Professionals” that charge you for every little detail. This isn’t someone else’s pre-fab boards; These are “THE REAL DEAL”!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!
Hi Stefani, thank you so much for sharing this video. On 2021 I was looking a video that shows exactly what you exposed on this. Immediately I began to construct mine with different material (pvc). And in a week I finished it. I’m so proud of my closet and of myself. It was my first attempt. I love it ❤️
Wow you're amazing!!! My husband and I started remodeling our home and we almost died when we found out how much built-in closets cost. Saved your video so I can reference this when it's time 👏👏👏
Girl I LOVE this. Have been wanting to do this to my closet in the house we bought a few months ago. Such an elevated and more organized look. Thanks for sharing!!
Simply put, you are amazing! I've done this before and I am getting ready to do this again for my daughter and I can't tell you how inspiring you were to watch doing this! No matter how you did what you did (and there are many ways to do everything; the way you did built this closet was excellent and well thought through. So impressive. Keep up the good work!
Stefani, my wife and brother said I needed to comment and thank you because I referred to your videos so often. I found myself saying Stefani said to do it like this. So much so, my family thought Stefani was a close friend.(LOL) Thank you again for your videos.
This is the first time a video of yours popped up in my recommendations and I'm so glad I clicked on it. You make me feel like I could build something, too. What? I have a drill and a level. *cracks herself up* I'm just crafty, not buildy. On to part two!
This was THE best DIY closet makeover I have ever seen! SO helpful! Was debating the exact same thing! Ikea PAX wardrobe, closet organizing systems...all SO expensive and this video was AWESOME!! I will for sure be doing this for my walk-in closet!
Nicely done. FYI: For future closet remodels, you can save yourself a step by screwing your base frame into the bottom plate of the wall, rather than having to locate studs.
We are getting ready to DIY our closet and watched your video. We looked at Closet Maid, IKEA, and a few others, but decided we would do our own. Nothing seemed to be exactly what we wanted for our closet. Thanks for all your great ideas. We’ll learn from your ideas! Watching your videos reminded us of our daughter who does a lot of home remodeling and repairs ♥️
The tarva hack is genius!!! I have being trying to figure out our long narrow walk in closet and considered so many options as well, this gave me the courage to do it on my own! Love a woman who does her own building and DIYs. New Subbie! This is fantastic, gonna go watch part 2 now!
the dressers were a great idea and they match the wood around it perfectly! (in the future, you should change the drawer slides for the dressers so that it holds more and is more stable!
WOW!! You are a badass. I'm looking for a closet organizer and not having any luck. You have inspired me to possibly give it a go. You are a talented lady. Thank you
Go video: Tip from longtime experience with doors, pop the pins, that way for reinstall you just have to put the pins back in. Also use a flat bar driven in under the carpet strip nails perpendicular to tack strips and you can take the whole strip up with only a few bangs on each nail.
Wow, looks great and very good work. The only suggestion I'd have for anyone that replicates this. Try not to glue large pieces of wood to sheet rock. When the wood contracts just a tiny bit, it can put stress on the drywall and even cause small cracks. And if you ever decide to change the space, you'll have a wall that needs a lot of repair. A few pocket hole screws should work.
One thing to consider, even purchasing before an impact/driver (referring to the spirited debate in the comments lol), some knee pads. They'll help under a range of conditions/home improvement projects and they're like a patella vacation. Hope that's helpful.
I love Girl Kick Ass movies! watching you build this while your husband stood on the baseboard made me think "she's kickass with that drill". LOL. looks great!
Great video! TFS 😃 another hack- when taking the door off; take the pins out of the hinges. Then put the pin in the hinge part on the wall. It’s faster & you don’t run the risk of having to re-drill holes in the door. 😬 Edit- that’s for IF you’re putting the door back 😬
Yes indeed, I carefully taped off and painted the architraves around my mother-in-law's seven doors and was trying to remove the eighth door to replace carpet when I spotted the hinge pins..... AARĢHHH! You learn something every day.
I kept seeing this video pop up in my feed, I am so glad I watched it!! I am now binge watching all your videos now. Your work and talent is amazing! Keep up the awesome work, I can't wait for more videos! Could you possibly do ones about a kitchen renovation? I would love to see that!
How many videos of men building things do viewers make comments about the person's physique? Unless the video is about dieting or exercise or body building, why go off topic?
@@Struthio_Camelus You should put together IKEA furniture with a glass of wine. The glass is obligatory, it is drawn on the box, sometimes even two or three.
11:48 IKEA furniture got me like this too. 😆 🤣 the I realize my mistake. You are an amazing woman tackling things on your own. Im getting ideas from you. Thank you for sharing.
Just stumbled across this video and I'm glad I did. I know a lot of people complain about long videos but, I wish you would have showed all of the grunt work also...making the cuts, measurements, and definately the pocket holes. I almost cheated and watched the reveal video. Great job, keep the videos coming.
I"m adding a closet to a room that doesn't have a closet, and I wanted to DIY closet organizer. I like your system and approach. Thanks for the inspiration!
Fif Wuhk and your point being? Nobody said anything about rounding out bits. I offered her an alternative method so her wrists don’t tire out. I’ve been in the trades for a long time and no one out there doing the day to day work can argue that a drill is better than an impact driver when it comes to setting screws. Also if you know how to properly use an impact driver you don’t round out bits.
@@lihlemokgalaka4548just finished my closet project last month. Cut the closet rods too short due to a measurement error...had to make a trip back to hardware store to buy new...that is reality. Hot chick doing a closet install is fake
Amazing job! One tip though ! Bend with your knees not your waist or you gonna suffer from chronical pain in the future! Just try to sit like you do squats rather than getting your head towards your knees. Keep up!
Omg yes you gave me the best idea ever I’ve been trying to find a way to add drawers to my closet never even thought about buying one from ikea ❤️ malm for me that’s what the rest of our furniture is
That Devon is one lucky guy to have such a talented, hardworking handy-woman at home... hate to think he's sitting in the next room watching football while you're working your butt off. Anyway, great video and great work!!!
Thank you so much for your detailed information on your steps. I want to customize my walk-in closet but felt very intimidated. But, now I'm confident I can complete it. Thanks again from your new follower. Stay healthy.
Kneepads, Miss. I learned that the hard way while building a floor for my attic. I might take this project on, sooner than later. There are good ideas in the video. Thank you.
just a heads up, when you take a door off the hinges, you just pop the pin in each hinge. Taking the screws out increases the chances of stripping the holes out and messing up the door.
I really don't understand the closets the builder makes these days most have the one wire shelf that leaves so much wasted room at the bottom and usually the top has wasted room unless you are storing suitcases or very large boxes.I understand they are doing it on the cheap but a little sectioning off would improve the function so much.
Its terrible. Not only are they cheap they honestly could care less about how the home turns out. One neighbor cut out under their stairway and they said it was full of trash. While I was taking out the rocks in the front garden I got to the bottom layer and there was glass bottles and plastic bottles etc. Some are cemented in so I couldnt take them out. I covered the area with white rocks to better match my tan home.
@@ShayBelladonna yeah. They built new houses in the area and theyre getting sued hahahaha its for the stone paneling on the front of the house. Theyre a hazard cause they can fall off and hurt people.
As I watch from California I realize I'm actually looking into someone else's closet. Unless you're dating someone or married/related that almost never happens. Fascinating to see things like the Green Bay Packers jersey and camo'd baseball cap. drove the point home that I was in someone else's closet. 👍 As for your closet/storage system with the raised floor... impressive. I especially like the Ikea dresser idea as well as the raised floor thing. I think I'll incorporate those ideas into my closet, of course always giving you credit for my creative and innovative ideas.😉 Well done and thank you.
This is a very interesting project. Video nicely done. The only item I had doubts about was the 2x4 base. Were those 2x4s regular, non-treated wood? I don't know how well they would hold up on bare concrete flooring without a barrier in-between. Concrete and bare, untreated wood do not interface well.
I'm in the process of building out our master closet. There are so few videos on TH-cam of people building walk in closets, so this video has been very helpful. I might even record it and past it in TH-cam to help others down the road.
Thanks for sharing this video with us. I love seeing the before as well as the progress on the after. The before is right in line with the way we outfit closet space in our old house. Now, we are finishing up a new house that still has plenty of opportunity to furnish some space (such our master closet space) and I appreciate seeing some ideas. I'll likely pursue a different route using french cleat panels and hanging trimmed out boxes to maximize customizability (the space is big enough to be its own bedroom), but I can still glean a couple ideas from your videos (gotta get me a pocket hole jig). One tip I would share for anyone pursuing this - If you are going to have dead space (such as in the base), that is a wonderful place for creepy crawlies to gather. No matter how well you seal it, they will find a way in and make it home. I would lay down a treatment of borax to make the space as inhospitable as possible for them.
Hi Stefani, good tips. Just be mindful that you should be careful when hitting two hammers together. There is an outside chance that the hammer heads could chip and send shrapnel flying. Consider using a wrecking bar as you have mentioned in another video. Safety goggles always...work safely. Keep up the good work!
121 people are mad that this woman has more skill in her pinky finger than they have in their entire bodies xD Can't wait to build something like this for my wife!
@Travis Hahaha ladies and gentlemen, we have found one of the insecure man-children who disliked the video! Don't be so mad that a woman is better than you at 'man stuff' kid xD
@Travis You're so right! How dare I voice public support for a content creator! Stop being a drama muppet and go back to hating your life, but in private. No need to go attention-seeking on TH-cam comments
We are moving from the french Alpes to south of france and we have a walk in closet in our new house that really need TLC and we looked around but we thought like you everything was expensive, so we will steel this great idea, great job. and thank you
I'm very impressed! Some folks have offered tips, and there's always the learning curve with each project. Personally, I would have used a framing nailer for the bases, but the finish nailer should be adequate for this purpose. I would have painted the floor first, to help limit moisture transfer and to make it easier to paint without all the edging at the bases. If you had done the partitions first, then then dressers, you could have hidden the pocket holes on the dresser side of the partition. But hey, everybody's a critic, right? I only wish I could put IKEA stuff together as fast as you. Must be the wine! ; ^) I like your overall concept. I think you've got a nice project here, and it's obvious you did take the time to plan it out. I'm going to go watch part 2 right now!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. A few of questions, that will help as I am fixing to start my closet revamp... 1. Is the base build out of treated wood? My understanding is that it is required by code for any wood touching the ground or slab to be treated. 2. Can you give the model # of the Ryobi nail gun you were using? 3. Is there a particular reason for using pocket holes for attaching verticals to the top shelf? Can one use screws ir nails from the top straight into the vertical boa4d? Thanks in advance for anyone answering, and sharing their knowledge.
Thank you so much for watching! I truly appreciate it 😊 You can find my closet dimensions and all the tools that I used over on my blog: homewithstefani.com/closet-makeover-part-1/

I'm with you. I hate seeing the DIY videos where it's like "All you need to do this is this $10,000 tool and 10 people!"
They are still DIY, just with better tools than you have.

Closet is much more functional than before. Good idea on the shoe space.

Now, we are finishing up a new house that still has plenty of opportunity to furnish some space (such our master closet space) and I appreciate seeing some ideas. I'll likely pursue a different route using french cleat panels and hanging trimmed out boxes to maximize customizability (the space is big enough to be its own bedroom), but I can still glean a couple ideas from your videos (gotta get me a pocket hole jig). One tip I would share for anyone pursuing this - If you are going to have dead space (such as in the base), that is a wonderful place for creepy crawlies to gather. No matter how well you seal it, they will find a way in and make it home. I would lay down a treatment of borax to make the space as inhospitable as possible for them.
Hi Stefani, good tips. Just be mindful that you should be careful when hitting two hammers together. There is an outside chance that the hammer heads could chip and send shrapnel flying. Consider using a wrecking bar as you have mentioned in another video. Safety goggles always...work safely. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the safety tips! I need to work on that 👍
To know you’re a packers fan makes this video that much better! :)
Wow what a lucky husband! Wish my wife could take on a project like that! I love what you are doing cheers:)
haha thank you for watching!!
To be fair to all wives it says in description below video her dad was a carpenter and she entered national guard as one.
I"d have to have my trusty drill for all Ikea projects. Thanks for sharing
Oh my I remember when wire shelves were the best thing going. Not now.
I hate them! They get so grimey after a few years and is not pleasing to my eyes as of today! They don’t geive full support like eid shelving

Agree but I do like the look of silver metal shelving and drawers. You can buy or make solid toppers for shelves for best of both. 😉
Cute and you do your own work!!!
your hubby got a winner for sure!!
looks good!!
121 people are mad that this woman has more skill in her pinky finger than they have in their entire bodies xD Can't wait to build something like this for my wife!
Right?! haha thank you for the support Charles!
WHY would Stefani get thumbs down!?!? Ridiculous!
@Travis Hahaha ladies and gentlemen, we have found one of the insecure man-children who disliked the video! Don't be so mad that a woman is better than you at 'man stuff' kid xD
@Travis You're so right! How dare I voice public support for a content creator! Stop being a drama muppet and go back to hating your life, but in private. No need to go attention-seeking on TH-cam comments
@Travis They have counseling for that Travis...its called insecurity, lack of confidence..plus many more! Stef rocks!
Never get tired of seeing this...👏👏👏
We are moving from the french Alpes to south of france and we have a walk in closet in our new house that really need TLC and we looked around but we thought like you everything was expensive, so we will steel this great idea, great job. and thank you
Love to hear that! Thanks for watching and good luck!!😊
This woman! Such talent!
I love this! How much did the whole project cost?
One ruppee!
@@Kevin-sm8pn shut up chav Kev !
I'm very impressed! Some folks have offered tips, and there's always the learning curve with each project. Personally, I would have used a framing nailer for the bases, but the finish nailer should be adequate for this purpose. I would have painted the floor first, to help limit moisture transfer and to make it easier to paint without all the edging at the bases. If you had done the partitions first, then then dressers, you could have hidden the pocket holes on the dresser side of the partition. But hey, everybody's a critic, right? I only wish I could put IKEA stuff together as fast as you. Must be the wine! ; ^) I like your overall concept. I think you've got a nice project here, and it's obvious you did take the time to plan it out. I'm going to go watch part 2 right now!
Man this is awesome! I didnt even know where to start. I cant wait to get mine started. My wife will love it!
Such a weird question, but what are the dimensions of your closet? I’m working on building my dream home and I love this layout
Want to know the same thing hope we get an answer
I am doing one for my Cloffice and want to thank you for showing how simple it is.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
A few of questions, that will help as I am fixing to start my closet revamp...
1. Is the base build out of treated wood? My understanding is that it is required by code for any wood touching the ground or slab to be treated.
2. Can you give the model # of the Ryobi nail gun you were using?
3. Is there a particular reason for using pocket holes for attaching verticals to the top shelf? Can one use screws ir nails from the top straight into the vertical boa4d?
Thanks in advance for anyone answering, and sharing their knowledge.
you are amazing and you have inspired me to try my hand at this. you make it look easy,,,we'll see how it goes for me..lol
That's my goal! Thanks so much for watching and good luck!! 😊💪
