Ever since I splurged on new wardrobe doors, I thought that I wasn’t maximizing their efficiency because I wasn’t using the inside of them. Looking for something to do in a 15 minute break that didn’t involve pulling out my grubbies, I decided to create a little bit of storage inside both door panels.
For the right side, I used a bit of trim and some angle brackets to make a support for my pashminas:
They’re a little cramped but I don’t mind wrinkled pashminas (said as her jeans-ironing mother and sheets ironing grand-maman recoil).
The rod is a little long, so I have to close and open both doors at the same time. Kind of hard to describe, but this means that I’ve inadvertently solved the problem of that door opens on its own during travel. The left side door closes firmly and now the right side door catches on it. I may no longer arrive at my destination with clothes in Neelix’s water and food bowls!
I connected two angle brackets into a U using electrical tape that matches my decor. 🙂
On the other side, I put a hook for a belt. I will eventually be adding some sort of vertical storage for earrings. I saw something very expensive on Amazon that I may be able to reproduce. The chalkboard label has a list of my knits. I tend to forget what I have if it’s not readily visible, so this is a good reminder to use things or else get rid of them!
