Attic closet Pt 1

So here's my attempt to turn part of the attic into a closet. The first part looks pretty good, next is to add a closet bar across the back and move the dressers to the opposite wall which includes moving a vent in the wall. At least it's cool right now as I have to go into the attic to do it.
I had to take notches out of the baseboard so the frame would fit flush against the wall. I figured this would be easier than trying to cut the pattern into the frame itself and if we ever pull the drywall and baseboard to better insulate the attic I won't have to reshape the frame for the new baseboard.



In the two outside boxes of the frame I used drywall anchors to hold the 1x2's to the wall then used 2.5" #6 wood screws to hold the frame to the 1x2s. I used flanges for the closet rod and one support in the middle that is held by the drywall for extra support.
