Woodworking Plans for the Bedroom Closet

After weeks of searching Google and Pinterest for woodworking plans and ideas for corner closets and not finding any that fit my needs, I decided to make my own plans. I wanted to create a clean, simple, reach-in corner closet for my kids' bedroom.

Step 3 | Painting

Next you want to paint your shelves. I don’t recommend waiting to the end to paint. I would recommend painting your sheets of plywood while they are not assembled. This will save you time. You should be able to paint everything in about 30min.
