Bedroom Renovation A little while back I decided it was time to redo my Bedroom. I call it a “renovation” however it’s more like a redesign or redecorating. Some Background: You see, the TV’s we have in our house are quite old. We have one of the first Sony Colour Trinitron TV’s from way back, in fact this TV is older than I am. |  |
As a result the TV doesn’t really go above channel 35 and as a result I miss out on some channels which are part of our cable package one of which is the Home & Garden Network. Sometime last year they re-numbered some of the channels and as a result HGTV is now on 29. All the home reno shows simply made me realize how simple and relatively inexpensive you can do things if you do them yourself.
First of all my closet initially started out with the common wire-mesh type shelves. On top of that the previous owners did a pretty bad job of installing it, with it being unlevel and not using drywall anchors for the screws. I wanted a closet that made use of the space better as well as had more lighting, since my room light didn’t illuminate it too well. So here it is a post with all the details.
So
initially this is what my closet looked like. A wimpy wire frame closet
with a horrible layout. There wasn’t much room for anything. The only
thing that was useful about it was the shelf running the entire length
of the closet. The way the shelving unit was set up the closet was
split in half. On the left hand side there was room to hang a row of
shirts above and pants below. The middle shelf could only accomodate
one layer of folded clothes if you hung your shirts above. The right
hand side basically ran from the floor to the ceiling to accomodate
longer clothing items. Being a guy I don’t really have much clothing
that runs that length. However, I do possess quite a few items that are
3/4 length.
