A walk-in closet rebuilt in Lake Sherwood
In this Lake Sherwood project, a walk-in closet with basic white shelving was rebuilt floor to ceiling with drawer stacks, double hanging, shoe shelving and open shelves. It was part of the same home as the kitchen and primary bath.

The starting point
Before, the walk-in had basic white shelving and hanging with a small island in the middle.
Along with the closet itself, the homeowners asked for two new side closets next to the sauna.
What we built
We built floor-to-ceiling units, 96 inches tall and 24 inches deep: double-hang towers, drawer stacks with hanging above, shoe shelving and a wall of modular shelving. The fronts are slab, and the units finish at the top with a flat crown.
The two side closets next to the sauna are in the same material: one for long hanging and one with shelving.
