Hello, love your blog. I noticed the date just read March, was this 2023? We just bought our first home, which is a bilevel. I was curious about what the bumpout on the other side looked like? I read that you integrated it with the closet in the basement. I have an idea of what to do, but was curious if you had any pictures of the basement closet and what you did on the other side. I also watched the reno video and Suite reveal but didn’t notice the cubie bumpout. Thanks for being inspiring!

In reply to Zs Mama. Hello! We built these like we would exterior windows, running a header across the top and supports down to the base plate.

I’ve read through this so many times. We have a split level and this would be so great! I am confident in all of it except- how did you deal with the studs in the wall before building the cubbies? I would LOVE to have details on how you built those cubbies before the drawers.

In reply to Colleen Pastoor. I was not so lucky. I bought everything to have this done and when I called for help the guy told me it's not possible because there is a stud right in the middle. So bumped ?

Do you have any pictures or a link to the project where you built out the closet? We have a split entry and shoe problem is KILLER! The other side of our wall would be the kids’ playroom so a closet there would be a great scattered toy solution!! Talk about killing two birds with one stone!

In reply to Teresa. They were very deep! We made them deep enough to line the walls on the reverse up with the closets we put into those rooms :) We've moved out so I can't measure but I think 2' is the depth of the closets.
