Remember that disastrous “before” picture of my closet? It kept me up at night! But thanks to a little ingenuity and my friends at PureBond Hardwood Plywood, that nightmare is a distant memory. I present to you: The Build Basic Closet System, a customizable solution that transformed my closet from chaotic to curated!
Conquering the Chaos: Why A Shoe Cubby System?
Let’s be honest, shoes have a special talent for cluttering up our lives. This DIY shoe cubby system wasn’t just about aesthetics (though it definitely adds a touch of sophistication to my closet). It was about reclaiming control over my space and my sanity. I wanted to be able to find the perfect pair without a frantic five-minute scramble.
From Cubby Catastrophe to Closet Confidence: My DIY Journey
You might have caught glimpses of this project unfolding over the past few weeks – the tilt-out hamper, those gorgeous built-in drawers, and my personal favorite, the pull-out shoe shelves! Each element was designed to be a stand-alone solution or combined to conquer even the most challenging closets.
Believe it or not, my closet, all six feet of it (with a measly four-foot opening) had room to spare after installing all these features. And yes, I really do have more hanging space in my new two-tier hanging cubbies than the entire length of the old closet. Don’t believe me? See for yourself!
