Closet Enlargement Project

Making use of space behind a previous bathroom renovation, I was able to enlarge the closet to about three times the volume. Although not very deep by normal closet conventions, the client required lots of storage for sewing supplies and was thrilled to have it. Adding mirrored doors helps brighten the space.

FLOATING SHELVES

The customer specified "floating shelves" but due to the design, required a hidden mounting system. I used mitered cleats along the back and on one side or both depending on the shelf length. I suggested adding puck lights to accentuate artwork and the like. The shelves were made of two 3/4 inch thick sheets of MDF, banded on the edges with fir. The 12 volt lights were wired using a routed groove made on one of the sheets of MDF prior to sandwiching them with glue and screws.
