I am enjoying this video, thank you for talking about the "in my head it will take this long" phenomenon. I don't think I've ever finished a project where at the end I didn't say "wow, that was way harder and took much longer than I though". The funny part is I watch the Perkin Builder Brothers channel and even after 20 years of building houses they've said same thing! But I had to laugh at how you describe removing baseboards... "may need a hammer" and "gently pull the board away from the wall" - then watching you hammer away and need a two arm grab to release the baseboard. Even so, your baseboard came out incredibly easy! Every baseboard I've ever removed was installed by a crazy person who used a million extra-long brad nails and it took a herculean effort to detach.
Just subscribed like 6 others while I've been watching your 3 videos. Good luck! But with the quality of your videos and music choices you'll do great ❤
hI Amanda came across your channel via youtube recommendation. first of all i am sooo impress esp women teaching themselves how to use power tool, i can tell you some of the tools are intimidating. your closet will come out great bc you have a good attitude to take your time to get the quality and a professional look, and yes everything takes longer and more money than projected. lastly i think fairly new with 80 sub but i dont doubt if you continue with this channel you will get 500k plus , your editing, directions and content are just as good as some of the other youtubers and will get better... good luck
Thank you so much for your comment and for watching! I really appreciate it, and yes, I am very new at this and just launched my channel last month. Still loads to learn and improve upon for sure!
Nice design for that closet! Thank you for showing the new Kreg pocket hole jig. I have a previous version of their jig & yours looks like it is much easier to use, especially when you have more than a handful to do. I also like the support wings for handling larger panels of wood.
I’m 2 minutes in and already Subscribed! 1 - I’m in VA too! 2 - that planning, prep, thinking you have everything set phase and its 3pm by the time you start working…I felt that in my soul. And 3 - The multiple trips. I’m here for it i! Can’t wait to see the finished look❤
Hi Amanda Love Love Love this video! What a great choice for the closet design! Love the Kreg Pocket hole jig. I’m going to get one. The support wings used for the wood panels is awesome! Purchasing one of those to! I know the end product is going to be beautiful! Can’t wait to see your next closet video. Liked and subscribed immediately! 😂😊👍🏽🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Wow! I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for explaining why and how to do things instead of just focusing on the cool shots! It is very helpful to us newbies. I also admire how meticulous you are 👏 Definitely gonna tune in for part 2!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you saying that. I know my more in-depth approach isn’t for everyone, but that is exactly my goal - to help those who are just starting out and trying not to leave much up to question! Part 2 will be out later this week! 👏🏻👏🏻
I love this project! I am a complete beginner so I like the way you explained things. Do you happen to have a list or video for beginners about what tools to begin with first? Thanks so much!
Nice!! The only thing I would change is the top height of the middle shelf. Even a few inches might have given you some extra storage at the top using that empty space up to the ceiling.
@@amandabrookehome Honestly, I considered taking out the header over the closet door opening 😂😂. That's how much I want to access the whole area of the closet!!
Nice video. The video quality and editing are great. We also make content for our 123 year old house renovation and understand how much work the editing is. Thank you for sharing.
I need to redo my closet and really appreciated this video. I'm just wondering why the platform and way you went about the building shelves. Not being critical, in trying to learn. I would have thought I could buy components at IKEA and just screw them to the walls. But I'm guessing there's a reason you shouldn't do that? Great video btw. I watch a lot of these types of videos and normally I hate the music or the way things are explained or not explained, or how fast they do everything because it has it makes it hard to follow. But yours was really enjoyable to watch and easy to understand. Thank you!
I appreciate that so much, thank you! I’m brand new to this, so definitely still finding my flow with all of it. And yes, that’s a great question! IKEA has a great closet system that you can do loads of customization with, and I did consider that, but found that the depth dimensions didn’t work for this particular closet. 13” felt way too shallow and like not enough space, and the 24” depth was too deep, unfortunately. The dressers were a great happy medium! I decided to do the platform to give them a bit more height and to be able to create more of a custom built look. Thanks again for watching and good luck with yours!
i am the opposite of handy and the first to admit i know nothing. my question is, why didn’t you remove the wall in front of the closet? is that a supporting wall? wouldn’t you have had more room in the closet if that wasn’t there? thanks
Great question, and yes, I considered removing that center partition so many times because it would drastically help with functionality of the space. The reason I ultimately decided to leave it as is, was cost. It would have opened up a can of worms when it came to needing the flooring patched, needing new doors, etc. and I wanted to make this as budget friendly as possible.
Thank you for the excellent video, explanations, clarity, and professional presentation! The cutesy, giggly and screamy types on TH-cam are very hard to take. Just one teensy complaint- do you have to look so dang glamorous while completing such a difficult project? Just thinking about a new project makes my hair stand on end and my nails break off... 🙂 Congratulations on your new channel.
A bit of a random thing to comment on to be honest, but hats are another layer of safety for me when working with power tools. They help to keep my hair out of the way, sun out of my eyes when I’m cutting outside, etc. Safety first!
I'm actually surprised you took the time to explain yourself but great response! The only reason I was reading thru the comments was to find out if someone asked where you got the hat from, I think it's super cute and love the color! Please do share the brand or store you purchased 😊 Great tutorial btw, super helpful!!

Thank you! And yes, I had one of the very basic jigs before and highly recommend this one for ease and speed!
I’m glad I found your channel. Can’t wait to see the completed closet.

Thank you for showing using that Kreg. I have one but not used it yet.
I really love it so far!
Great walkthrough! You definitely need a workbench in your garage :)
Ha - I desperately do!
Looks great❤
Thank you!
You did an amazing job, love it. Your hair is beautiful BTW.
Thank you, I appreciate that so much!

I don’t, but that’s a great suggestion! Hoping to get back into my videos soon!
You are AMAZING!!!
Ditto, Carl! ❤️ Thank you!
Nice!! The only thing I would change is the top height of the middle shelf. Even a few inches might have given you some extra storage at the top using that empty space up to the ceiling.
Yes! Now that it’s in I definitely wish I had lowered it a bit to make it easier to access the space above.
