You'll want these to attach the rods to the target bookcases since the ones that come with the hardware are too long and will go through the side

I used this only on the top of the closet, however if yours sits on the floor, this is likely good for top and bottom (measure first to be sure!). I liked the beveled look because it match existing trim I had, but if you used a more square trim, you ...

I used a few different saws to do my project, but if you needed to, I think you could manage everything with just this one and a steady hand. Typically, I buy from Lowe's but my husband got his Makita tools from Home Depot. Also available on Amazon: https://a.co/d/6QSPal0!

Instead of hampers, I use these baskets. We can have many because they're collapsable and don't take up much space. Cuts down on having another item in the laundry process. Once they're full, it's time to do laundry!

If your redoing your closet, you might as well clean it out too. I have used this a few times now. I always donate locally what I can but somethings can't go to Goodwill. I feel better knowing that what I send back isn't going to end up in a landfill...
