    Entryway suite

    This wall was a large coat/shoe closet in our family room. 75% of the old
    closet is now extra space in my wife's new office (pics to come soon).

    The old space was walled up. A smaller closet was framed in, drywalled, etc.
    That's a sheet of a beadboard on the wall.

    So we could still have storage for more coats and stuff, I copied this design
    from something in Pottery Barn. The only constraints was that it had to hold
    those baskets.

    The top unit is all MDF. Primed and painted. Heavy.

    The rails and stiles on the legs of the bottom unit are poplar. All the large
    flat surfaces are plywood with a 1 1/2" of poplar biscuit/glued to the front
    edge.

    I built these suckers to be strong. We don't have kids yet, but when we do
    these will be the first line of defense when they come home.

      Great idea! Looks like everyone has their "space".

        Good planning!

        Nicely conceived and nicely executed, Paul. Is that a power outlet right in the middle of the whole shebang? That's where I'd mess it up...

              Very useful. Of course, when you do have kids, you may have trouble finding it under the pile of stuff that will accummulate.

                Nice idea! I like the look of the curve on the top addition and the "frame" on the bottom.
