A second life for the drawers

A walk-in closet built around the customer’s existing drawers, with a vanity surface that slides out when needed.

Owner’s scope

Fitting what was already there

I resized the original drawers and built the surrounding cabinets to accommodate hanging clothes, shoes, and jewelry. Crown molding finishes the upper edge.

These photographs show the closet before paint.
