The first project we decided to do in the bedroom was convert the closet. On one of our first of many trips to Lowes we ended up in the closet organizing aisle and fell in love with the wood closet systems from Allen Roth.
The first step was removing the faux wall that separated the two doors so we would have a wide open closet. We started by taking off the doors, and then it was time for some fun--punching through the drywall. I even got a good punch in J .
Next we had to remove the studs, which we (and by we I mean Josh) did with a hacksaw. After the wall and all the shelving inside was gone, it was time for the hardest part. The wall had left a 4”x18” hole in the top part of the frame which Josh had to patch with drywall. After about 17 times of alternating filling with drywall mud and tape and sanding it was finally ready to be painted. When the painting is finished and we rip up the carpet we will install our closet kit. The only question left is whether to add doors, a curtian or nothing…what do you guys think?
I'll leave you with a little before and after:
