Build a Closet
In this segment of HouseCalls we found Ron Hazelton on the road in Chappaqua, New York. Here he met Yuki Saegusa who moved with her family into their new home in the early summer. As the weather began to get colder, and coats began to get bigger, Yuki realized that they were rapidly running out of closet space.
 
Build coat rack
Most Canadian residences are closet- underprovided. Solve this chronic rack-lack by making your own pegged coat rack. You can give it a carved, antiqued finish and add character by milk-painting it first. Then, as you carve, the warm honey colour of the wood contrasts with the paint finish.
 
Build Your Own Clothes Pine Rack
Efficient people like my friend Hazel have already started buying Christmas presents. Hazel does not have trouble making decisions. Hazel can look at billions of gift possibilities and choose the perfect one. When I asked Hazel what's wrong with shopping on December 24th, she laughed. I didn't. Because shopping on December 24th is valid for three, no, four, reasons.

Closet - With Video Clip Storage
One of the most common complaints people have about their houses is that there isn?t enough storage space. If that complaint applies to your house, start looking for a corner that isn?t used much. You?re going to build a closet.
 
Closet Construction
Ron was asked to help the Hoags create more storage space in their guest room by constructing a pair of matching closets that would be both attractive and practical
 
Closet Cubbies
These closet cubby organizers should not be too tall. In fact, I always try to have the top of my organizer stop about eight inches below the bottom of the hanging clothes. The top of the cubby organizer acts as a shelf for boxes, helmets, or other miscellaneous items.
 
Closet Door Shelves
Two rather unattractive closet doors broke up the wall and the Safier?s hoped to replace these with doors that would double as display cases. The idea was both functional and very attractive and Ron was happy to help.
 
Closet Organizer
You?ve cleared out the space, written down all your measurements, and now you?re ready to go out and buy that long-overdue closet-organizing system. OK, but prepare yourself for some sticker shock. Depending on the off-the-shelf system you choose, a single closet?s worth can end up costing hundreds of dollars. Our easy-to-build organizer will set you back just the cost of a single sheet of plywood (plus a couple of clothes poles and some 1x3 lumber). And guess what ? it will function just the same as the high-priced spread


 
Closet Organizer
There are a lot of closet organizers on the market, but this project is an easy-to-make system that is adaptable to fit your closet needs and is a fraction of the price of store-bought kits.
 
Closet Organizer Shelving
This organizer makes efficient use of space, and can double closet storage capacity. It may cost hundreds of dollars to buy custom-made organizers, but you can build an organizer for a 5-foot closet for the cost of a single sheet of plywood, a clothes pole, and a few feet of 1 × 3 lumber.

We recently built closet systems in our homes. Our wives helped with the installation and we wanted to share our experience with you.

Coat - Shaker Style Rack
Shaker-Style Coat and Mitten Rack: This little rack is easy to build and adds simple, good-looking storage to any home. Makes a great gift, too
 
Coat - Walnut Rack
In this episode of DIY Wood Works, host David Marks shows how to create bent laminate-hardwood components to construct a coat rack characterized by long lines and graceful curves. The piece features a modern design and an upward-reaching shape reminiscent of a tree with outstretched branches. The subtle curves and symmetry of this piece exemplify a contemporary style, while the solid-walnut elements reflect strength and craftsmanship in a pure and functional form. This project is an ideal one for learning the techniques of bent-wood lamination
 
Coat Hall Tree Rack
By Tom Hintz - This project was inspired by a similar hall tree I saw Norm Abram (New Yankee Workshop) build a few years ago. His had inlaid tiles, a pair of umbrella holders and some fretwork to dress it up. I was not getting the warm fuzzies about the tiles, nor the fretwork, and the wife said she would not need umbrella holders. Of course, after she said that it rained every day for over a week. Despite the deluge, I forged on; sans the umbrella holders and the above mentioned.
