It wouldn’t have affected the functionality of the closet. In actuality, I used 1×12’s for the doors but I wouldn’t recommend that as it is cheaper to just use plywood for the doors and it would have been nicer if it was just a inch or so wider. I modified the cut list above to show what I should have done.

ANY DECORATE DOOR TRIM – I used 1×2’s but you can cut any design you like to fit the exterior of the doors.

1×6 INSIDE DOOR STOP – 2″ (you will attach these on the inside).

1×6 TOP & BOTTOM – 63.5″ (no pocket holes).

1×6 SIDES – 62″ (pocket holes on both ends).

3/4″ plywood BACK – 62″ x 26″ (put pocket holes all around).

I used 3/4″ plywood for the back and some 1×6’s for the sides/top/bottom. I snagged one of her longest brooms and used that as my length and then added about six inches.

I didn’t think of this as a formal build – it was just a gift I made for Charity so I didn’t even write down the measurements but I’ll do my best if you want to recreate this at home. I built it for the Pedraza’s house but you can bet your bottom dollar I’m trying to figure out a spot for one in my life because truly….we all need our cleaning supplies…we just don’t want to see them all the time or have them near our food. It’s wall mounted to make it even easier to clean around and it’s a fun decorative storage solution when closets are in demand. The post today is all about this dandy handy broom closet perfect for holding all those brooms and swiffers and mops in your life. WHO AM I BECOMING AND WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT POOP?! I have a new puppy and two kids in diapers.

Nothing is more obscene in a kitchen than seeing all the dirty cleaning tools.
