As a consequence of removing walls from my mother's living room, we ended up losing some bookshelves. The solution was to install some built-in shelves inside an existing hall closet. That hall closet also backed on to a bedroom closet, so we took the opportunity to renovate that as well.
We started by knocking down the wall in between the two closets. then building a new wall to make the bedroom closet bigger. After all, the bookshelves are only 14" deep, so they don't need very much room.
Of course, when we invade the hall closet, the items that were stored there need a home in the new closet. We packed in some nice, open shelving on the right of the closet...
And the left of the closet is a well-organized clothing closet, complete with two closet rods, and some open shelving for sweaters and or shoes.
And on the other side we installed the bookshelves. These were trimmed with more of our antique timbers, so that they are tied in with the rest of the space.
New paint colours to come...
