A man transformed his attic into the walk-in closet of his wife's dreams

Rodolfo Cabrera spent three weeks turning the unused, unfinished attic into a sparkling new closet for his wife.

He had to clean it up, rewire the electrical, put up new walls, add drywall and insulation, and paint.

He also added recessed lighting and built-in shelving.

"The closet wasn't the hard part," he said. "However, building those stairs that lead to it was a pain. We had to glue them, nail them, and use a whole lot of screws just to make sure they were secure."

"The closet wasn't the hard part," he said. "However, building those stairs that lead to it was a pain. We had to glue them, nail them, and use a whole lot of screws just to make sure they were secure."

Approximately 30 by 9 feet, the closet is sleek and modern, with black accent walls, gray shelves with modern metal handles, gold and white wallpaper, and dark floors.

There are also plenty of coat racks, shoe racks, drawers, and baskets. There's even a drawer just for watches.

A huge window allows for natural light.

And there's a comfy orange chair with a fur blanket in case deciding what to wear gets to be too much.

Cabrera says that his wife loves the closet so much that she moved her makeup vanity up there.

The whole project cost approximately $25,000 to $30,000, according to Cabrera.

"I really love a modern look, so the walls, shelves, and cabinets were painted gray," Cabrera said.

For anyone looking to do their own transformation, Cabrera says, "any unused space can be turned into something beautiful." He added: "You just need the time and effort to do it — or hire someone else!"
