DIY Under Staircase Makeover | Closet to Pantry
What happens here
Carefully place the painted base cabinet boxes into the under-stair area. Use shims or wedges to level the cabinets from both the back wall and the bottom, ensuring they are perfectly plumb and level. Secure the cabinets to the back wall studs through the back stretchers using screws. If multiple cabinets are installed, clamp their face frames together, pre-drill pilot holes, and drive screws to create a seamless unit. Cut side filler pieces from painted wood to fit any gaps between the cabinets and the wall. Scribe these pieces for a custom fit, then attach them using wood glue and brad nails. Finally, install drawer slides, cabinet doors, and all necessary hardware (pulls, knobs) for functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Goal: Install the painted base cabinet boxes in the bar area, ensuring they are level and securely attached, then add filler pieces and all cabinet hardware.
