A method for constructing an armoire within an existing closet space
includes the following steps of optionally removing any gypsum board wall
sheathing within the closet space; optionally widening the closet opening
to more nearly coincide with the interior width dimension of the closet
space; optionally raising the height of the closet opening to more nearly
coincide with the interior height dimension of the closet space; and
constructing an armoire having a body generally in the shape of a
rectangular solid that is dimensioned to slide through the closet opening
and into the closet space with minimal, non-interference-fit clearance,
the armoire having a depth that is about equal the depth of the closet
space, the armoire having exterior trim pieces that extend beyond the
dimensions of the rectangular solid-shaped body, that fit flush with the
closet opening, and that conceal the edges thereof.
