Pinterest in Real Life: DIY Master Closet (Phase 3)

Phase 3: Trimmed shelves!

We’ve been transforming our unfinished basement into a beautiful master suite one day at a time. We are finally on to the closet. A giant open and empty space that will be ALL mine to fulfill my high maintenance needs. (Well, and my man’s. But mostly mine…) 

I searched and searched Pinterest for DIY closet ideas. While I found a few that would work, the cost for the cheap-looking closet was just not up my alley. I wanted something unique! I have a huge obsession with antiques. I thought, what if we used old doors instead of that high priced wood that EVERYONE has?

Instead we found shutters that we used as the main pillars. We found them at Restore, the store that benefits Habitat for Humanity. We also found the book shelf there. The shelves and base trim all came from Home Depot.

Total cost so far: Around $150

• Shutters $20
• Rods $15 (including one that you can’t see pictured)
• Book shelf $25
• Shelf wood approximately $70
• Trim $18

We went from quite literally nothing, to THIS, in a matter of days!!!

Next step: taping off for paint!
