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!)
It is looking great. I really like the stain used on the floor.
ReplyDeleteHow nice it will be to have such a usable space!
Daisy, that's it exactly - usable space!
DeleteIf it is anything like my house, it will quickly be filled!
ReplyDeleteEd, I already have boxes and piles at the ready. :)
DeleteYou're making great progress. It's always a good feeling, when a project can be crossed off the list.
ReplyDeleteLaurie, we've been working on this old house for over 16 years! There were times when I thought we'd never get to this room. It's definitely a good feeling to be making progress.
DeleteLooking great. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Regine!
DeleteLooks great! It's always so wonderful to have extra storage for things. Nancy@Little Homestead in Boise
ReplyDeleteNancy, the extra storage will indeed be welcome!
DeleteThe doors turned out really nice!
ReplyDeleteI think they did too, TB. They really look nice with the room.
DeleteIt's looking great Leigh, I really like the floor.
ReplyDeleteRain, it did turn out well, didn't it? The whole bedroom floor could actually use covering, but I'm not sure if we'll get to that.
DeleteLooking good. The finished product is not far away.
ReplyDeleteMr. O, so it would seem. Never know about those last minute interruptions though! :)
DeleteIt is looking wonderful! A lot of hard work with good rewards!
ReplyDeleteEggs, I'm really pleased with it and I know Dan is happy to finally be finishing something on the unfinished project list.
