From Reading Nook Conversion · Step 1 of 9 · Video by Kim Emery

Showing 0:00–0:05 of the source video.
The video begins by showing a very cluttered closet filled with various items, including toys, bags, picture frames, and a blue storage bin. The first action is to systematically remove all contents from the closet, leaving it empty. This involves pulling out large items like picture frames and the blue storage bin, along with smaller items, to create a completely empty space to work with for the organizational overhaul.
Goal: Empty the closet for renovation
This project transforms a cluttered and disorganized closet into a functional and aesthetically pleasing storage space by clearing out existing items, installing modular cubby shelving units, adding fabric storage bins, and finishing with decorative touches to create an organized and personalized area.
Empty the entire contents of the under-stair closet. This includes any stored items, shelves, or old fixtures. Ensure the space is completely clear.
Transform an under-stair closet into a cozy and functional reading space by clearing, potentially modifying walls, adding lighting, comfortable seating, and shelving.
