Back in February, we built a thing. 🥰 [Part 1]
We decided to upgrade our bedroom closet. At first we were looking at IKEA stuff, but they weren’t the exact fit. Either something was too short, too long or sticks out somewhere. Then we found a few off-the-shelf modular closet systems which are customizable for a better fit. Drawing inspiration from Pinterest on possible combinations I did a few sketches, Faizal then modeled it on the computer for maximum accuracy. From the model a BOM was generated, and we did a thorough price comparison exercise, optimising components from different sellers and opting to make the shelves ourselves. The cost reduction was substantial, and well worth the effort.
We spent about a full week completing this project. I enjoyed painting the walls and working with some of the power tools (achievements unlocked!). Even though the closet system was designed to be installed with minimal tools/customization, we really made it our own and added quite a few refinements. We stamped our logo and signed on one of the side panels, just for the memories. Can’t wait for our next project!
