I know it doesn't look that bad, but what you can't see is that the shelf was pulling out of the wall and taking drywall down with it because the shelf and closet rod didn't have proper support for their length. It was just a matter of time before it all came crashing down, so I took it all out...

...and put in new, better shelves and closet rods.


Construction zone

Wood clamps (holding the trim that I glued to the edge of each plywood piece)

Hand-drilled holes (lots of them) for adjustable shoe & sweater shelves. Pre-drilled shelving cost about 4 times more than plywood, so I bought the plywood, put on a book on CD and spent a few hours measuring and drilling holes.

I glued trim to the edge of the plywood pieces to make them look nicer.

I LOVE the end result!!!!
