Yeah. It looks easy on video. But she didn’t show all the difficult parts, I’m sure there were a few rough patches. Like cutting the 45 degree angle and nailing in the right corners. And I’m not sure the caulking will hold up well over time. That lower section could have been finished a little bit better and would have made the cabinets much sturdier since the pax is made of particle boards. I have the PAX. So I know each section should be beefed up a bit to hold well over the long haul.
I would love that closet. I am all for buying the Pax unit and having you, Devin, and your father-in-law come on over and install it. 😉 Beautiful job Stefani. It was different, and enjoyable watching you Devin work together on this project. I am sure your in-laws love it. Thanks for sharing.
This is a nice addition to your previous ikea closet videos. These are really helpful both as inspiration and as tutorial videos. Thank you for sharing them.
I always admire people that can do their own work. Great team work. Very nice closet. I paid to have our master closet done-we love it. I used Ikea book cases for my office piece worked it and had my carpenter instal and pur molding. Looks great.
Hi Stefani, I enjoy your videos. Wonderful Job. I have installed three IKEA kitchens and have assembled dozens of pieces of furniture. I am big fan of their products. I like your use of wood strips, baseboard and crown molding to give them a nice finished look. The one thing that I would do is to get filler strips for the ends where you have what looks like a 6 inch gap. When IKEA doesn't have filler strips that are big enough, I have purchased an extra door or shelf to do the job.
Spectacular closet yet again, the whole clan was involved this time around, great to see. Keep them coming Stefani, wishing you continued success and thank you for sharing with us and making it look oh so easy.
I cant believe you got all the pieces. I’ve been waiting since January for the drawers and told it will be in stock in September!!! Love what you did. Plan on finishing mine same way.
I finally got all mine.. been on the prowl since December and it’s now April. You have to sign up for stock alerts and check daily. I did have to revise my plan because a few of the wardrobes have been out of stock for months and they weren’t able to give me a restock date. I even ordered and was given a refund because they oversold. Can be quite annoying having huge boxes all over the house but I’m excited to start this project once I get a few days off
Loved what you did with your wardrobes!! Can't wait to do something similar when we are done renovating. Also just wanted to give you a tip for your flickering footage - you can get rid of those bands by changing your shutterspeed/aperture. Probably need to lower your shutterspeed - the lines are caused by your interior lights 😊
Approximately how much did your closet cost? We are building a walk in and I need shelving. I know it depends on size and what you want but just trying to get an idea. Thanks!
We just installed our pax kit, I was researching crown molding and came across your video. Thanks for convincing me to do it, the moldings are a great addition! Great job!
Thats really good looking! I would of put a tall mirror instead of the cabinet next to the door and a seating in the center of the room! Great videos 👍🏻
First time visiting your channel and I must say this is so very well done. Tools, techniques, and supplies well videoed with all the details. Thanks, I'm looking into your other videos.
I love the Ikea Pax units, you can be so creative with them! I have a horrible built in wardrobe i'm looking to tear out and fill with these! another brilliant video!
Nice job! Just discovered this channel yesterday. All your videos are very inspiring! One thing that would be helpful maybe for future videos is to include a rough estimate of how long it took you to complete each project.
Looks great! Love the crown molding. I’m curious about the single detached unit on the one wall. Would it have been possible to change the dimensions of one of the cabinets on the wall beside it and then use another corner unit to fill that gap?
Thank you for the awesome detailed video. I have almost all my PAX boxes in place and I was searching way to cover seams and give it the custom built in look
Turned out nice. Should have taken the storage shelves to the ceiling... very valuable real estate up there. Could have stored luggages/travel bags/seasonal clothes ect.
As a professional IKEA pax installer The way to do efficiently is to build the units first then mount, not one by one but all at once Also those drywall anchors are terrible Best ones are toggler alligators And for baseboards you did use the right tool The oscillating tool is what I use too For the drawers the sliders should be installed all at once they are 6 holes from each other and shelf on the top drawer is 5 holes. It's more efficient to do them all at once, same with drawers instead of one by one Great job either way for a first timer looks great The
Stefani its looking really good. I am doing the same and stuck with the crown section. Could you please show or add the link of the lumber you used for supporting the crown
Wow, this is cool. I had no idea about these from Ikea. Thank you for using my fun song "It's a Breeze" at 7:50! My music is also on all streaming apps, plus I just released a new song on Thematic called "Unstoppable Me." Btw, you're amazing!
I commented earlier on your excellent job you’ve done and this “PAX” closet is wonderful too. Home Depot should give you support for all the fine Ryobi products you’re using and in that way promoting. Keep up the great work.
Wow! Amazing work! The pax planner code that you have shared seems to a different design than the one you have showed in this video.. could you please share the design code for the closet that you have assembled in this video? Thanks for sharing your incredible work!
This is beautiful! I considered getting the pax system from IKEA but found they are in back order (until ‘winter time’) but bc I found your channel I love your custom build series even MORE! There is no wasted space with the customer made closet. I’m still watching videos on your channel 🤣🤣
I enjoyed watching. Your attention to detail was impressive. One thought & one question: Maybe add top of unit ambient lighting and some halogen lighting tied to a motion sensor on the inside of the units. Question, with the crown molding, it looks like you negate the tops of the units from being additional storage for things like suit cases, or boxes of shoes rarely worn, & things like that. There were nails point out making a difficult situation for anyone in the future who would try to store things up there. Have you thought of adding MDF on top to make those tops functional?
Super nice end result. Remember to always take one side of the wardrobe into the closet first, so you can see that you can straighten a whole wardrobe, without bumping into the ceiling or the other walls. If it is cramped, you can assemble the wardrobe standing in place. Need a little more hands then. Another thing is that the shelves are made of chipboard and have fragile edges. Be careful with these. Another thing to keep in mind with IKEA furniture is that a little wood glue helps a lot to avoid unstable furniture after a while of use.
Great! I like how easy it all looks, not! 😵💫 I’ll be starting my fitting this weekend, not looking forward to it as I know it won’t be anything like this video! 😂
I see that you installed the wardrobes directly over the carpet. Have you done any installations on hard floor and then carpeted? We will be replacing the carpet in the room, but not sure if we should put carpet under or up to the robes. Thanks for your vid...it'll definately be a go-to when we start building!
Hello beautiful job on that closet. I'm getting ready to purchase on of these four my walk in closet... so was on here llooking at reviews. I'm in Florida also... I'm was wondering if you all do p this for other folks... like myself...😊
So watching you assemble your closet and how you trimmed it out helps me to know how I need to finish trimming mine out. The instructions were not that clear so thank you.
Thank you for putting together and uploading this video. How much time does it take to assemble? I have ordered two 39x79x22, two 29x79x22 and two 19x79x22. No corners units. Total Eight drawers(29x22).
Great video, I have my Pax system ready to install in our new home that we move into next week. Can you tell me what diameter of drywall anchors you used? Want to be ready to installation goes as smoothly as possible.
Amazing! We have very small closets in our master and I’m tempted to turn the attached office into a closet like you did! Cute assistant! Lol- hi guys from Wisconsin!
I want to do this so bad but IKEA has barely any of these items. I keep checking but someone said they waited a year and ended up just building it themselves. I hope they get their stock back up
Thanks for the very detail and informative video. What is the size of the Baseboard and Crown molding you used? I tried to find them in your blog, and can't locate it.
Turned out so nice! Awesome video and gives me inspiration to design our closet and get a nice closet unit that my hubby and I can do assemble and add those awesome touches
i had so much trouble attaching the floppy back to the frame because it kept folding into itself. After unsuccessfully attaching the back, I tried to raise the frame and try to attach the back vertically-- the entire frame collapsed splitting some to the dowels and the bottom connection. Thank you for the idea of using the sticks to hold the fold straight.
@@NatalieStringfield Thank you for answering this! I was going back-and-forth on the IKEA website to this video to see if I could figure out which one it was.

Hello Stefani and hubby, this closet organizer is amazing, only if my closet could look this beautiful. God Bless guy’s.☺️🙏🏾💕❤️👍🏾
Honestly, The Arizona Thunder really drove me insane!
Tell me about. 18 minutes of “Arizona thunder” 🤯
Soooo annoying. Silence would be much better. Otherwise love the video, music distracted from it too much

Spectacular closet yet again, the whole clan was involved this time around, great to see. Keep them coming Stefani, wishing you continued success and thank you for sharing with us and making it look oh so easy.
I did it on my own, easy really and with the ‘heavy’ mirror sliding doors. Trick is to send the family out!!!
Looks great! You saved about $10,000 not having a closet outfit do the work. It's sickening how much they charge. Yours looks awesome!
It's not really sickening if you consider the quality of custom cabinets... They will last at least twice as long as Ikea
Thank you guys. I got some ideas to build something to hang my clothes instead of buying a wardrobe.
Taka żona Stefani to skarb, nie dość że ładna i zgrabna to jeszcze meble zmontuje, obiad ugotuje a po robocie jeszcze po pipkuje :)
Wow!!! Wow!!!! You have done the best IKEA Pax system display ever! I will do my best to follow your instructions. Amazingly beautiful ❤

Used your idea for the 1/4" thick trim boards for where two PAX cabinets join together!
Thanks for the great idea.

Great job both of you, only extra thing I would do is cut carpet and put frames directly on subfloor...
Looks great! Love the crown molding. I’m curious about the single detached unit on the one wall. Would it have been possible to change the dimensions of one of the cabinets on the wall beside it and then use another corner unit to fill that gap?

What an amazing transformation!
Thank you for sharing, it has inspired me to do our closet! Did you think to put round white stickers over all the metal turn clips?
I am not lying when I see that it is my dream to have a Pax closet
That is a huge spare that became a walk in closet, it is so beautiful
Absolutely beautiful🙌🏾🙌🏾
I came for the closet, stayed for that guys mustache.

The way to do efficiently is to build the units first then mount, not one by one but all at once
Also those drywall anchors are terrible
Best ones are toggler alligators
And for baseboards you did use the right tool
The oscillating tool is what I use too
For the drawers the sliders should be installed all at once they are 6 holes from each other and shelf on the top drawer is 5 holes. It's more efficient to do them all at once, same with drawers instead of one by one

Damn fine job as usual. You’re a talented woman. Keep the videos coming. Giving me lots of ideas for this tired old place.
Why didn't you make another custom closet like you did in your previous house? I really liked that one!
Love this! Exactly the video I needed!! Great job! Thanks
I am surprised you didn't fill the corner gaps with board or make a small shelf in that space. ?? A lot of work & looks nice, great job !!!
@homewithstefani How much was the cost using the Ikea pax vs. your own walk-in closet you did a year ago? Which is easier to do?
Perfect! And the wardrobes ain't bad either 😄
Hello beautiful job on that closet. I'm getting ready to purchase on of these four my walk in closet... so was on here llooking at reviews. I'm in Florida also... I'm was wondering if you all do p this for other folks... like myself...😊
So watching you assemble your closet and how you trimmed it out helps me to know how I need to finish trimming mine out. The instructions were not that clear so thank you.
What walk in closet do you like the 1 you made or the ikea pax 1. Like the finishing touches you put on the ikea pax.
Nice teamwork!
Thank you for putting together and uploading this video. How much time does it take to assemble? I have ordered two 39x79x22, two 29x79x22 and two 19x79x22. No corners units.
Total Eight drawers(29x22).
Beautiful job! can you tell me the size of that closet?
Great video, but I'm not quite following the drywall anchor issue...not enough room. I'm a little slow today, can you explain further?
Great video, I have my Pax system ready to install in our new home that we move into next week. Can you tell me what diameter of drywall anchors you used? Want to be ready to installation goes as smoothly as possible.

Yes
looks a-m-a-z-i-n-g!
Great job ! Can you tell me the color of the closet walls ?
I’m curious what you’d do with the corners now that ikea no longer has a corner specific piece!
What size crown molding did you use?
Thanks for the very detail and informative video. What is the size of the Baseboard and Crown molding you used? I tried to find them in your blog, and can't locate it.
Crownmolding us a nice finish 👏

Hiya great job, how much time did you spent on this and what was the total cost approximately? Thanks
thanks for sharing...lovely music..too...make my day!
Beautiful! I'm building my Pax closet in the Ikea online planner and can't find the half-depth side panels you used for the corner units; help!
It’s the add on corner unit. Sold as a set.
@@NatalieStringfield Thank you!
@@NatalieStringfield Thank you for answering this! I was going back-and-forth on the IKEA website to this video to see if I could figure out which one it was.
I wish that I could find someone like you to do work around my house. Since the pandemic, no luck.
Nicely done. Big fan of your work.
I have never seen the corners done like that and I love it! Did you have to cut a cabinet or is it sold that way ??
Did you get the hanging rods and brackets from Ikea as well? I only see the rods that are in the Ikea planner and the clothes face out.
Lots of details, thank you!👍👍👍
