A GREAT IDEA FOR A BAD CLOSET

This closet was previously unusable. The house was built in the 1950's....that said, design isn't what it is today. The closet space is very narrow, and was completely open, save for one rod placed near the top. It also an old hollow mahogany door that swung out.

What do you do with a space like this? Plenty!

We built a whole new closet system, that looks like a piece of furniture because of it's "feet". The 3 drawers on the bottom are plenty deep for lots of storage. Since this closet was going in a baby room, it worked great to put the 3 drawers on the bottom, since baby clothes don't require much height. In addition, we put a second rod in back, and lower than the front rod. This allows for double the hanging room. Again, this works because baby clothes and baby hangers don't take much space. Then on top, the shelf provides more great storage space. Not only is this closet now completely usable, it's also very attractive--not a word often associated with closets.

What is your unusable space? Give it to us. We're good with things like that.
