Comment on How to Hack IKEA Pax into a Built-In Closet by Christina Blake

I checked Ikea's website as well and it looks like they must have discontinued the version of the Pax line that I have - when I looked through every wardrobe is listed as a new style - such a shame!

It looks like Home Depot might carry a similar corner wardrobe - but I'm not sure if it has any matching pieces if you wanted to create a similar project.

Can you please link to the PAX corner unit you've used here? All I'm able to find on their website is a double-corner unit which won't fit in my space.

I don't recall the exact crown molding we used but it was something fairly simple - something similar to this style from Lowes - you could get a larger or smaller size depending on how close you want to get to the ceiling.

We actually removed the baseboards around the wall where the wardrobes would fit so they'd be flush against the wall, and then put in trim and quarterround around the front of the bottom of the wardrobe to make it look like the baseboards continued around the built-in.

It's a little hard to see details because everything is white but if you look at the first two pictures at the bottom you can see that there is trim around the bottom of the wardrobe in the first (finished) picture, whereas the second picture with the wardrobe frames it's flat. This also helped hide that each piece was separate.

Beautiful! Is there a certain size crown molding I should look for to replicate this creation of yours? What did you use to cut it and when you say you redid the baseboard, does that mean you took the whole thing apart and lowered it? Would love to hear back from you here or via email. Thanks in advance. [email protected]

Close! We technically live in East Kensington but we could be considered in Fishtown depending on who you talk to!

Beautiful inspiration. I am mentally preparing to remake a small bedroom into an dressing room myself. I did not want to lose the ability to have this room returned to a bedroom in the future. Choosing the corner for closets was a wonderful idea. Do love what you did in the master bedroom as well.
