No sure why, but every now and then, I need to upgrade, renovate, replace something. I guess I am like that ;-)
So on the program today is to improve the (few) closets that we have and make them more usable.
I found this website while browsing around: http://www.easyclosets.com and I decided to give it a try.
Most of the houses here have built-in closet with a simple bar to hang things but this has the disadvantage of wasting a lot of space as there are no shelves. The "EasyCloset" company offers the possibility to make your now custom closet. You can choose from a variety of shelves, storage options. Everything is done online: you measure your closet, choose what you want and within 5 days you get everything at your door step. Pretty cool isn't?
To see what the product was like, we decided to start with the small closet in our lobby:
 |
| This is how the project rendering on their website |
 |
| Boxes have arrived...what? so many? |
 |
| This is how the "standard" closet look like in most houses (any closet)...pretty bad. |
 |
| So the first step is to remove the old shelves / bar |
 |
| Then patch the holes if you like things well done (like me) |
 |
| Everything is very well protected for the shipping, awesome!! |
 |
| Looks good, fits perfectly and I could add three shelves, sweet!!! |
 |
| The shelves loaded with all our mess... |
 |
| ...and the final touch, an IKEA light which lights on when one opens the doors ;-) |
"L'essayer c'est l'adopter" as we say in French ;-)
Love this thing, easy to fix and it looks really good!
For this closet, the cost was about $180.- a custom cut solution, this is really cool!
Next projects:
- Mila's closet
- Waileng's closet
- Yanick's closet
