So with my closets officially gutted of their original white wire closet suck racks I am ready to start and get this party started right. First my in house contractor/girlfriend filled the newly formed holes in the walls then she painted them so we have a clean canvas to start with.
I found an excellent sizing guide at http://www.doityourself.com, this is some crucial info to make sure you are planning in the correct proportions:

| Six men’s shirts (on hangers) | 12″ wide, 38″ long | ||
| Man’s shirt (folded) | 8″ wide, 14″ long | ||
| Man’s pants (on straight hangers) | 44″ long | ||
