Description of Carmen

A walk-in closet with wooden shelves, a deep shelf at the back of the cupboard and a shelf across the long side. To finish it off, scaffolding tubes for support and a nice industrial look.

How I made this project

1. Scaffolding tubes installed with footrests in the wall and under the planks . The thick tubes function as a clothes rack.
2. Sand the wood smooth, measure it, cut corners and then protect it by varnishing with two layers on both sides. I opted for transparent varnish in a natural wood color, which makes the wood stand out extra beautifully.
3. Attach the wooden planks to the scaffolding tubes, the short planks are shelves for clothing and the longer planks are intended for storage
