Nice job! Stain looks like a great match too.

That looks marvelous. In addition to the fine work you already did, if you want to make it easier to access the closet you can remove the left door, flip it over and attach it to the right door with a full length piano hinge. You will need to relocate the left closer tongue to the top and add a stabilizer to the bottom left to relieve the stress from the right hinges. I used a hard rubber door knob stop cut in half and beveled to glide up on the bottom of the frame. Made access a breeze. Just a thought.

The doors are the original ones.

All that was done was adding a shelf and making the original bottom shelf full length instead of half.

Here's the only one I have. Hope it is clear enough for the detail.

Thank you for the picture.

I followed your lead and turned over the left hand door. Instead of piano hinging them together I put them together to make one door. I added the two hinges from the left door to the right for strength.


Thanks again

What a great job!!
I'm sorta handy! What type of wood did you use to make the shelves? Is the bottom shelf hinged to access the bottom portion of the closet??
I'm anxious to do this as I though of the space as being wasted!
Thank You!!

Bill:

The shelves are 1/4" plywood and they do not move. Here are pics of the hamper done.

To get the stain right I brought a drawer to my local Sherwin Williams paint store and had them do a stain match.

They would only do a quart no less.
