I made a big mistake when we moved in. I gave my husband the bigger closet, thinking I wouldn’t need much space. Fast forward to today, and I’m regretting it every time I try to squeeze one more pair of shoes into my overcrowded shelves. We decided to make over his space using Modular Closets, with custom shelving, drawers, and hanging sections. I let him have full creative control with it which was a huge challenge for me! But I really loved watching his closet makeover vision come to life.
Super Easy Closet Makeover
The Modular Closets team was so helpful with planning the closet system for my teen’s closet make over. I sent them dimensions and gave them an idea of what I wanted, and they provided me with a plan that was exactly what I was looking for. They sent me mock ups and an estimate and it was very reasonable. Once everything was delivered my husband got to work!
He started by taking out all of the old closet shelves and hanging bars. Then he touched up drywall blemishes with spackle before painting the space VERY green. He was pretty busy so I followed the directions to assemble the modular system for him. After assembly, it was so easy for him to hang the units on his own. In order to hang them up himself he used a handy hack! After measuring he would screw a scrap 2×4 to the wall to set the back of one section on. The piece of the system would rest on it while he was able to secure it to the wall. Once the piece was hung he removed the 2×4 and filled the holes with spackle and touched up the paint. It’s an easy hack that helps with hanging cabinets as well!
Finishing Touches on the Man-Cave
My husband chose a variety of decor to give him the man-cave feel. He added storage for his hats, belts watches, and of course his trading card collections. The closet is everything he wanted and he actually keeps it organized and clean. The Modular Closet system is so helpful with that. We are so happy with the way that it turned out!
