Description: A portion of this project was sponsored by Arrow Fastener! #sponsored Visit Arrow Fastener for tools to help with your own DIY projects: arrowfastener.com I am SO proud of this project, you guys! I am building a custom closet with maple plywood and woodworking plans that I designed and built myself (this is PART 1)! It took a year to finally circle back to this long-forgotten dream closet, but I finally finished it after about a month of consistently planning and working on it. Custom closet installation seems intimidating but with the right planning, measurements, and tools, you can do this, too. The blog post is coming and will have the information and materials used for this DIY closet, but here is a list of the most important materials, along with time stamps for jumping around! Enjoy!
