This closet goes from a bedroom to a bathroom. The space is not wide enough for drawers or a bureau, so I built a set of shelves into the left side of the closet which is in the stairway overhang. This is a good way to use space that was otherwise wasted. The other shelves are just pine boards that have been carved and painted.

| This is the left side of the cupboard. I built a tie rack and shelves for storage. |
 |
| This is the right side of the closet. I painted a yard sale mirror white to match the trim and hung it in the middle of the passageway. On either side I built simple shelves with hooks to hang clothes, handbags, and bath robes, with a little shelf on top for keys, wallets, my makeup bag and other small items. |
 |
| This is a tie rack, but would also make a great rack for scarves or belts. |
 |
| A simple rose carving adds a little shabby sheek whimsy to the hallway. This is also easy to carve, using a hand held rotary tool and a 5/16" carving bit. The shelf is then painted white, then sanded to give the time worn finish. |
 |
| I added a top shelf over the door for extra storage. I can store my travel bags and other seldom used items. |
 |
| This simple arrangement of hooks provides place for my belts, handbags, bathrobe, and other often used items. These shelves and racks can be ordered custom from my Etsy shop. www.etsy.com/shop/woodcraftqueen www.sawtoothideas.com (Eugenie Woodcraft) Beautiful furniture, made simple. |
