Front Room Closet Progress

Making progress, a little here and a little there. (Continued from this post.)

Corner molding installed and front edge of floor added.
Track for sliding bypass doors installed.
In my last closet post I mentioned that the door opening is 79 inches. The longest track we could get was 72 inches. But it wasn't a problem because the wheels were inset somewhat on the door.

Slider wheels attached and door hung on the track.

Doors installed

Floor stained. Dan used leftover cherry stain.

Brace for upper shelf.

The left-hand and middle boards in the photo above are the boards from the original closet shelf. Since we added four inches of depth to the closet by tearing out the wall, Dan had to add another board to complete the new width.

Dan's going to add a pair of sliding doors here, using cabinet door track. And of course, the new shelf needs to be painted. And polyurethane put on the closet floor. And the doors stained and polyed. And then, I think, the closet will be about ready to use. (Yay!)
