Closet project



We decided on an unconventional closet. The doors are heavy carved wood panels, purchased as four unit screens from a local Chinese discount store ($98. per four panels). I dismantled the screens and built the closet supports to fit seven panels into an "L" shaped closet. The storage space above the closet is covered by panels made of hobby tag boards, (the kind with foam between two sheets of tag board) cut to fit, then covered with silk fabric in a sea foam green Asian pattern. These were hot glued, with camel colored felt panels on the backside. Cup hooks were secured to the top of the frame, then curtain rings were used to clip the panels, and hang them onto the cup holders. The resulting panels are light, allow air circulation and easy access to the storage space while providing a stunning accent to the closet space. Typhoon and emergency supplies are stored neatly and out of sight, while remaining readily available for any situation.
