custom closets - worth the silent treatment?

[Towelboy]

am i a bad husband for telling my wife, "no, i will not pay $6,000 for someone to customize our closets?"

if i had $6,000 to piss away, it sure wouldn't be on a "custom closet."

do you concur?

[Kettle]

yes. you can do it a lot cheaper with the stuff they sell at home depot or lowes. i saw some this weekend that i liked. they have several finishes, and all kinds of innovative ways to maximize the closet space.

would custom include turning it into your man cave? if not, then hell ya...way too damn much

[Towelboy]

i realize that, but the problem is, she had a designer come in and woo her with the real wood crap. when i shot that down and took her to lowes and home depot, those weren't up to par.

i guess the do-it-yourself kits do not "smell of rich mahogany."

buy some incense, candles, febreze or somethin'. 6 Gs is crazy

6k could be better spent expanding the deck and building a fire pit.

i don't think you have to tell anyone here. closets aren't a place you spend a lot of time. they aren't usually seen by guests. there's no need for them to be anything more than whats needed. you've got me thinking of Goldie Hawn in Overboard.

You're a great husband for that... We can not let these women control us or our wallets. Welcome to the club sir. You will make a fine addition. Here's your t-shirt.

I guess there are no grow lights, fans and water drip lines in this 6k closet?

Let's see, you stopped your wife from pissing away $6000 and she's not talking to you. I'm not seeing a problem,

I observed a very high end home being built for a project while I was at school. The custom builder just built them their own closets. The closet contractors are really expensive, really not worth the premium.

you want something that's sturdy. Don't get some cheap thing with veneer. Get solid wood and use something with sturdy finishings. You can trim it with some of the smaller 1" trim pieces you can find at any home center.

It's pretty simple stuff especially if your used to doing little projects around the house.
