Took a long time to get to this point.

Main room (can you tell I have kids)



The black panel in the corner is a chalkboard I built. It hides the water meter and shutoff valves



Closets - Closetmaid shelving
Small closet, currently filled with toys


Built my wife a small craft area in the small closet. I made a fold-down table which I still need to install.


Large closet



Landing - did wainscoting to hide a concrete wall
Like the golf club coat rack? Built that a few years ago

 

Very Nice. I had never seen the shelves be used with those support brackets. I had always repeated the kind that came with my home(s) where you have the angled (45 degree?) support brackets - I like yours better - you do not lose that space under the shelf where the bracket goes and it looks like it can hold a lot more weight since you are hitting every stud. Nice work - very clean.

 

Seriously, never seen those brackets. They're made by Closetmate I think. You can find them at any hardware shop. They can be a bit expensive. I just redid both my closets with them. Very handy because you can easily adjust the heights of the shelves and pretty much attach anything to them. I have a bunch of shelves, drawers, clothing rods and show racks attached to them.

And, although I'm not planning on testing it, I can probably take a nap on one of mine. I hit all 4 studs with 3 inch screws.

 

I love the way it looks. Really neet. Although, I think the kids will probably help you mess it up a bit.

 

Looks really great.

Mine is just sitting there... But as Scrib Jr. gets older... I'll be glad it's already done!

Nice work!

 

Looking good! Do you have a pre-construction pic handy? I forget what it looked like before

 

Glad to see you use 2x2's for the ceiling, so much nicer for a home.

 

Looks good. I just need to finish mine one of these days. All i have left is carpet and to paint the pool table to match the room and to get new felt for the top

 

Great work!

 

Here's some before pics.




What is now the small closet

 

Isn't that beadboard? I thought wainscoting was different.


Regardless, nice work!

 

The brackets cost a freakin mint. I paid $8 a piece for the 20" brackets and I think I'm using ~50 of them. The 16" ones I used ~30 them + all the wall brackets + the shelving.

I'm thinking we spent over $1000 just for the shelving.

The nice thing about the shelf brackets is they have a hook at the end closest to the wall that keeps the shelving material in place.

 

The only time I had seen them used was when a wooden shelf was put on them - did not know they had a similar bracket to be used with the wire shelving - nice.

 

I think I spent about $500 on my 2 closets. But, they are really worth it. I also forked out the cash for the track that goes on the top for one of the rooms.

 

Yeh. If you are re-doing any closet or shelfing, I highly recommend them.

 

Damn... what a difference!! Looks great

 

Sharp...

 

Looks great, Herr Mod!

 

Nice job, how long did the whole project take?

 

Looks great.

 

I think I started the project in July.

My father and I did the rough framing and rough electrical in 2 long days.

It took me from late July till now to completely finish it. 2 kids (3 and 1) and a lot of long nights and weekends.

If I had to guess, it's probably about 2 man-months of work.

 

Yeah you have to buy the Closetmaid ones, not the Rubbermaid ones.

 

Very nice, NSX.

I was wondering when you would be done

 

man that looks excellent

 

2 kids under the age of 3. Nuff said.

 

^^


Just giving ya some grief

I really does look good, though
