Hello all. Phew, after the last few big projects here's a more manageable one to cleanse the palate. We don't have "before" photos of this closet because, well, it's a closet under the stairs. If you jump back to this post and scroll to the last picture the closet is the closed door across from the laundry room. After painting the ceiling, walls, and trim, our first big question was how to finish the floor, but deciding to remove the door made it natural to install our yellow pine boards.
This closet has the access door to the crawlspace. Because we can be kinda particular, we decided to make this look as seamless as possible. We made boards long enough to span the access door and beyond, cut them to size, and matched the halves.
After the access door it was fairly straight forward installation of boards we cut to the same length.
On the left side we used the right-angle to line up the seams of the boards because, again, we can be kinda particular. The small off-white strip will get painted a more neutral brown and is needed to allow the door to open fully.
The end was only tricky because the ceiling sloped quickly to nothing, leaving little room to maneuver. To finish the edge and cover a gap in the flooring we needed something and opted to use a piece of flooring as a border after we gave it an angle cut on the table saw to match the slope of the ceiling.
Then all that was left was to finish the floor and add baseboard to complete the picture.
