My husband kindly asks that you quit making these things look easy. 🤣. What a great job. Looks so high end.

[@angellas.1314]

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.

[@rhdtv2002]

It's easy on a new home like this..on old homes like mine..over 100 yo..not so much

Thank you Stefani, we were totally inspired by you and have just finished our Pax wardrobes. You made us believe we could do it and we have! ❤

[@michaelmoses9256]

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.

[@coppertopjohnson9782]

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.

[@sgtsol7934]

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.

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

[@davidbarlow4454]

I did it on my own, easy really and with the ‘heavy’ mirror sliding doors. Trick is to send the family out!!!

[@anneh.127]

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.

[@RiViTHeaD13]

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

[@ForeverEclectic]

Wow....I have to say this was one of the best closet tutorials I have ever watched. Great job👍

[@michaelarent7260]

Quite an impressive build, i love the attention to detail on the molding.

[@SuchaCaligrrl]

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.

[@Flightless_Mike]

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

[@laurastevenson2785]

Hello Stefani and hubby, this closet organizer is amazing, only if my closet could look this beautiful. God Bless guy’s.☺️🙏🏾💕❤️👍🏾

[@estherstephens1858]

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 🤣🤣

[@chelseas.parks.]

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 😊

[@ondre1557]

Taka żona Stefani to skarb, nie dość że ładna i zgrabna to jeszcze meble zmontuje, obiad ugotuje a po robocie jeszcze po pipkuje :)

[@timroscoe4519]

That extra trim makes a huge difference. Thanks for sharing.

[@MissGammons]

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

[@smacdiesel]

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!

[@kathyannlumchan3734]

Thank you guys. I got some ideas to build something to hang my clothes instead of buying a wardrobe.

[@Heyy_Zeus]

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!

[@resawirick7923]

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.

[@alisaben1]

Same! Those were my FIRST thoughts, my store hasn't had everything consistently since Jan too....🥴

[@arielmarzo9794]

Please I live in Florida in Vero Beach, where can I buy the materials of this 8 'size to assemble what I

[@nicolecouser6094]

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

[@SteveCohenPhilly]

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.

[@peterszelas9417]

Great job both of you, only extra thing I would do is cut carpet and put frames directly on subfloor...

[@timroscoe4519]

Great job with the trim and crown molding!

[@scardera]

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 👍🏻

[@kkyles605]

This looks awesome! You guys did a great job!!

[@mistyjohnson7368]

Wow!!! Wow!!!! You have done the best IKEA Pax system display ever! I will do my best to follow your instructions. Amazingly beautiful ❤

[@jeffersonholland9797]

That fighter-stash is epic. Reminds me of Goose.

[@Markjonathan]

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!

[@oneporschefan]

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.

[@jeanlondergan160]

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!

[@SweetBabyG915]

Awesome job on the closet! It was exciting seeing it come to life. The link in the description for the closet design code took me to something that looks completely different. If you still have the design code for this project could you send it my way? Thanks!

[@doransanft1525]

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.

[@Bradl0y]

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.

[@organizemylife3110]

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!

[@taurus1127]

That girl is not just a pretty face,she is awesome 🤩…well done u both 👍🏼

[@darlenecuker9711]

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.

[@greggwade]

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?

[@whydoineedachannel18]

Love this! Exactly the video I needed!! Great job! Thanks

Looks awesome, girl you got the tools 💕💕💕

[@bellanica4176]

Absolutely awesome!!!!! Thank-you. I will be following your example.

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...😊

[@xeonzero1]

This looks amazing and definitely gave me tips on what I need to do to mine. Good job!

[@monisamontoya288]

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.

Wish my wife was handy and creative like you 😊 amazing job! Keep up the great work 🤙👍

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.

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

[@CassieDavis613]

I wish that I could find someone like you to do work around my house. Since the pandemic, no luck.

[@rrbarti]

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!

[@GurcharanDhillon]

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).

[@vsgmom]

What an amazing transformation!

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.

[@johnhanrahan3122]

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?

[@hansins]

What sheen of Benjamin Moore simply white did you use to match the wardrobe? Great work!!

[@joannalfaro3214]

@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?

[@logspec12]

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.

[@surshenkarmakar]

Nicely done. Big fan of your work.

[@AntonioAugusto1010]

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

[@bombshellbarbies9202]

Beautiful! I want to paint my walls this color of gray and buy the same carpet color do you have any details of color names?

[@simonpowell1605]

would you sometimes remove the carpet underneath the wardrobe ? would it give a better look

[@thenetworkarchitectchannel]

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?

[@billmccluskey6294]

Damn fine job as usual. You’re a talented woman. Keep the videos coming. Giving me lots of ideas for this tired old place.

[@geysyfountain484]

Omg I had no idea they did that! I love your videos!

[@Brendamichelle_]

It’s a game changer !!!

[@larryg3038]

Awesome! Wondering why you didn’t trim away the carpet and pad under the PAX units? Wouldn’t the units be more stable on a solid floor surface instead of the carpet and carpet pad?

[@Kennylovessandwiches]

The cabinets are screwed to the wall, so I don’t think stability will be an issue

[@mariapiccininni2048]

Looks great but she is definitely experienced with the tools. Go guurrlllll,

[@rikardekvall3433]

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.

[@mapleto1945]

Lots of details, thank you!👍👍👍

[@matthewrathband4419]

Great set up and nice ideas with tidying the edges up but I think you could do with some more nails in...

[@AngelaPredhomme]

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!

How long did this take start to finish approximately? Looks beautiful and a job well done!

[@oliviasnyder9991]

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

This is awesome, I appreciated this video.... I got a little fixer-upper I am moving into next month.

Well done Stefani and team, they look really high end. Great video

[@clintoncampbell9019]

I rather your home cabinet and the reason being is I like I like the way it is where it reaches all the way to the ceiling but this one is nice but the Crown-mold is OK but if it touch the ceiling it would be better and another thing is Put a little white paint in the in the filler if you drop in a little of white paint in it would be easier to cover. I also do painting on cabinet

[@Aryat1979]

This looks amazing!! 🤩 Could you tell me a ball park of how much did this project cost?

[@jacqueseverly8149]

Great video. My wife and I just put a Pax closet together. Random question, what’s the name of the song on your video, “…air or error is on the thunder…?”

[@marebear174]

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!

[@BFARRTX]

Do the carpet 1st
