The original primary bedroom in this house was subdivided into two very small rooms. One of the rooms had no closet, and the other had a small closet in the corner creating a small “L” shaped room. The task at hand was to open it back up into one room and create a new larger closet that blended in with the style of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately the dividing partition was built in a fairly noninvasive way and removing it wasn\u2019t too destructive to the original floor or plaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the closet I decided on a custom pocket door installation in a 2 x 6 wall to allow just enough depth to wire lights, switches, and outlets on both sides. There\u2019s a lot happening in this one wall, but I wanted to pack as many updates into it without disturbing the rest of the room or feeling like an afterthought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new doors are solid wood with oak veneer finished in ebony stain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I installed a ready made closet unit, but added some custom trim and additional hooks to make it fit the space. It’s a bit shallow for a walk-in but pretty luxurious for a 1920’s American four square house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I turned the entry to the second small bedroom back into a small linen closet facing the hallway, as I suspect it was originally laid out when the house was built.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
