    Wow, it turned out absolutely beautiful! You said it at the end, but I thought it as soon as you started showing your closet: it looks like a clothing store. I loved both the mirror and the rug, they went well with both systems. And I like that it's simple, but beautiful, and that both you and your husband seem to share the closet equally. Congrats, it looks wonderful!

    LOVE your closet! I know you said a tutorial wouldn't be helpful because everyone has different size closets, but could you possibly make a video just showing how you framed in the Pax closet system? Just because it makes it look THAT much more amazing!

    Speaking of extra holes in furniture. I had a china cabinet near a windo in my kitchen. I saw little tiny activity there one day. Little tiny bees had made their home in the leftover holes! It was sooo cute. They lived there for only a couple of months but I liked li while it lasted.

    Ooo never thought of using 2 systems. I have had the pax for about 2 years. I have and awkward empty section, which has room for one more pax frame but have been hesitant because it would block access to a circuit box (don’t know why they put that in the master closet) but now I will look into the Algot. Thx for the inspo.

    I bought the Algot system but returned it because it was too complicated. I see yours and love it. I wish I had patience. LOL I did purchase the pax tho and working on that video of install. Thank you for the advice on building it inside!!! We will be making sure to do that. It came out beautifully.

    • @MeganBell
      @MeganBell  5 років тому +1

      Thank you!! The algot totally looked intimidating, I agree. And I definitely questioned keeping it as I was putting it together, but I couldn’t have the pax on both sides like I’d preferred. It worked out really well though! Good luck on yours! It will be worth the effort for sure.

  • @andylise08
    @andylise08 4 роки тому

    I have a small walk in closet too so my challenge was how to maximize my space with IKEA storage system. The corner pieces didn't work since it was too bulky to fit the larger (3x) PAX frames that I wanted. I ended up getting doors with nice brass handles (similar to yours) for each of my frames and completely removed my walk in closet door (it's never in use since I always leave my closet open). I swear there are three doors in my master bdrm- why do we need so many doors other than the main one? I think you need a chandelier in your closet! I'm definitely thinking of getting one with brass and crystals to elevate my small closet space. BTW, I like how your wardrobe isn't so cluttered and wooden hangers are the way to go.

How difficult were the pull handles to install into the drawer and what size drill bit did you need to drill the holes?

    This is exactly the video I needed! I was looking into redoing my master walk in too. But it’s been hard to imagine the pax in the space. I love your idea of having pax on one side and algot on the other! Genius. Can you tell me the width (the measurement of the wall with the mirror) of your closet? Mine is only 63” and I’m afraid there won’t be enough walking space like yours :/. It would be so helpful! Thank you!!

    • @MeganBell
      @MeganBell  5 років тому +3

      Thats really close to my measurements as well, I believe that wall is just a little less then 5 feet in length. So in between the pax and the Algot we only have about 30 inches (might even be 28,) but it works. I definitely couldn't fit two sets of pax in there, even though I would have loved to, which is why I did the Algot on one side. I even considered building my own shelving on that side, but the Algot was shallow enough and also inexpensive. Good luck with your project, Katie! I'm sure it will come out beautifully.
