Sheila!

Oh my gosh! Reading your plans brought a big smile to my face. I love what I do, but even more, I love helping people solve their problems!

I’m not sure if I mention it in the article, but there was no closet there when we moved here. There was a very gawdy 70’s triple dresser. My closet still makes me smile every day. 🙂

Good luck with your DIY! You got this!

I’ve been wracking my brain to figure out how to gain more closet space and I think this might be the solution I’ve been looking for. I live in a very small old house with tiny closets. I’ve been making do with standalone hanging fixtures with shelving but hate the way they look out in the open in my bedroom (and my office aka storage room.) The closets in both rooms are actually one closet with a wall dividing them and a small door in each room. Because the doors are small it is very hard to get to the space beyond the door openings. My original thought was to move the dividing wall to just beyond the door opening in the storage room, and the knock out the wall in the bedroom to the moved closet wall to make room for larger doors. I axed that idea when I realized it would mean relocating electrical outlets in both rooms. With your idea, I think I can still remove the closet dividing wall and then cut additional openings for access on the storage room side without affecting the electrical outlet. Then I could just frame the space in front of my freestanding storage unit across the entire wall as you did and perhaps add some additional shelving and/or a dresser in the currently unused space where the existing closet is accessed. I love the whole idea for this project and think the French folding doors are perfect. I believe this will be my big project for 2026. Thanks for solving my problem!

I try to wear them the next time I go out so there is not a pile.

Claire,
You’re right, however, it’s never been an issue for me. The configuration of the closet was done years ago, so I left it that way. There isn’t really enough room to “step” inside, but there is plenty of room for the drawers to open completely to access them.

Thanks, the doors do look great

That Rodney is a handy guy to have around, but you guys couldn’t have done it without Lulu.

Lisa,

Thank you so much for your kind comment. This closet makes me smile every.single.day. 🙂 I measured from the back of the closet to the inside of one of the doors. It’s approximately 34″ deep. So adding a couple of inches for the framing, I’m guessing my window was about 36″ from the back wall.

I hope that helps, good luck, have fun!

I LOVE this! We are expanding our master bath into the master closet area, which will require us to add a wall-to-wall closet in the master bedroom. I don’t want to take up more space than we need. I see from the pics that you were limited by the window with how deep you could make the closet. Can you tell me what that dimension is?

Nancy,

I’m sorry, I don’t remember the brand. I buy all of my materials at home depot. They were just regular bi-fold doors. I think they are similar to these https://www.homedepot.com/p/Masonite-24-in-x-80-in-Cheyenne-2-Panel-Camber-Top-Primed-White-Hollow-Core-Smooth-Composite-Bi-fold-Door-97055/100634561
Thanks for stopping by and I’m happy you love my closet. It still makes me smile EVERY day!
