Here's the room upon completion. I decided to add cedar lining in the closet. It's not the same solid T&G cedar that I installed in the other room. This version comes in OSB sheets. Cost per square foot is about 69¢ (compare to $1.50/sf for the solid cedar), but there's plenty of leftovers from the 4'x8' sheets. Installation was fast and simple -- I simply used pneumatic staples.
Maple cabinet I made from plywood and solids. Open back to cedar. Adjustable shelves are extra deep (16") to accommodate loose or sloppily folded clothing. Left side hangs long items, right side two rows of short items. Seems appropriate for this room.
At the last minute, I decided to install new bifolds instead of cleaning and reinstalling the old sliding mirrors. I found them at reduced prices at Home Depot. They match the room better and has a nice center access.
The room's painting scheme is also an idea. At about 6'-6" high on the wall I installed a moulding strip (actually a "door stop" profile) to delineate the bright white ceiling from the color below. It's supposed to make the room feel taller. I think it does that.
