Materials: PAX wardrobes
Description: I love how functional and flexible the IKEA PAX units are, but I don't like the look of having a big wardrobe sitting in my bedroom. I do however love the look of custom built-ins, so using the PAX as the foundation pieces, I built two shallower cabinets which I attached to either side, then I trimmed the whole thing out, with gables, friezes, toe kicks and wrapped it in baseboard and crown moulding to make it match the original mill work in the house.
I had a carpenter make new doors for both the PAX and the cabinets I built. Finally I painted it all out and added the IKEA Lansa handles.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteTruly looks professionally done. I've been wondering how to do this built in look with PAX.
ReplyDeleteWOW.. absolutely beautiful and just what I am looking to do! you may have inspired me!
ReplyDeleteThese look great! Would you please explain what the gables are? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGables are simply panels that have the same finish as the doors, and are used to cover the sides of the cabinet. The PAX cabinets have a melamine finish, so attaching gables to the sides hides the melamine and makes al the millwork blend together.
