With sound advice, the closets are done. June 07 With a little help from my daughter and father-in-law the closets are finally done. I had seen the doors a the local shop and wanted to emulate that look. I decided to put shelves in the closet for blankets and stuff. Initially, I was going to make them solid wood, but after studying acoustics a little, it became apparent the wire shelves would work better. (Yes, I already bought that wood, too.) I only found white shelves, and painted them black. The paint took a month to dry, I guess it reacted to the vinyl coating. I thought the European hinges would be the best, as they would allow the doors to fit tightly. I had originally designed the doors with the spine segmented, but my father-in-law saw my plans and suggested a redesign. Fortunately, I had purchased the wood, but not cut it. I used birch, as pine was too knotty and warp-prone. I painted the frames black and covered them in black GOM. After a little trimming I got them up. I thought about Art Deco doorknobs, but decided against calling attention to the doors. Instead, I used white plastic U-shaped handles spray-painted flat black. I removed the speaker grilles. put them back in, and everything looks and sounds great.
