As an IKEA ex employee who designed hundreds of Pax wordrobe designs for clients,this makes me happy to watch

[@kirstygriffiths749]

Thanks so much 🙏 IKEA Pax is just the best.

[@n.hunter6666]

Not my video! But i felt some kind of SPECIAL in you saying that!

[@TheConservativeHippie]

I bought an old house and have this closet "space" and this is exactly what I needed to watch. Thank you.

[@kirstygriffiths749]

My pleasure ❤️

[@PumpkinHead440]

Wow so amazing. Doesn’t look like an ordinary DIY’er. Few people just have the gift and don’t even know it until they try.

[@EdgarAllanJo]

Wow, you are such an incredibly talented lady, Kirsty! 🩷

[@kirstygriffiths749]

Oh thank you!

[@mcanultymichelle]

Wow mind blowing.That’s got to be the best IKEA hack I’ve ever seen.Bravo 👏🏻

[@andreamanning3297]

Genuinely very clever.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. You made it look easy, I also think they look incredibly expensive. Well done you.

[@kirstygriffiths749]

Thank you so much 😊

[@corticoqueen639]

loved your project. you did a wonderful job ! Thank you for inspiring women to take on more jobs that are traditionally done by men. This just shows WE can do this! lol

[@kirstygriffiths749]

Thank you so much. I could honestly do a full video on all the comments I get from men saying ‘ I think it’s time your husband took your tools away ‘ or ‘ this is the worst DIY video I’ve ever seen’ it’s astonishing 😂 but I thank all the little men for the engagement 🙏😜

[@nancychestnut8928]

Yes we can!

[@cherigreen4471]

You did a fabulous job and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! I loved all problem solving as well. Great job! ❤😊🤗🇺🇸

[@V-zj5el]

I'm a perfect beginner (not even have an electric screwdriver now) and your video convinced me that I can do it too! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@kirstygriffiths749]

Amazing !! You can do it

[@King.of.wishful.thinking]

Great project. Love the base you stand them on. A lot of kitchens in USA are built like that. I would of levelled the wood base first it would of saved messing with the whole thing

[@VincentDenise]

Hi Kirsty, the result is gorgeous! Well done! Thanks for this video 🙌

[@kirstygriffiths749]

Thanks for watching ❤️

[@wtfkristyn]

I truly look forward to your informative videos! Having never picked up a power tool aside from an electric screwdriver you give me confidence! More confidence than my boyfriend has in me when i tell him i want to build about 3 sets of these 😂❤️

[@kirstygriffiths749]

Fantastic ! Thank you. You can do it! If I can…. Anyone can

Hello Kristy, I just discovered your channel. OMGoodness your bedroom closets are stunning ❤ I am just starting my home remodelling project. I was looking for ideas and so very glad I found you. I’m just starting my planning for our spare bedroom, I figured I could make my learning curve mistakes there before I do our master bedroom. lol. I’m in Canada and obviously have to source out products. Thank you showing the sides of your mouldings to give us an idea of what to look for. I’m off now to look through your other videos. 😊 ❤😊

[@kirstygriffiths749]

Oh thanks so much. Please let me know how you get on !

[@patriciacushing7448]

@@kirstygriffiths749 I definitely will. I have 6 months to plan as it is just the start of winter here. I have a small poorly set up workspace in the garage. However with no heating out there I will not be starting until spring. I will definitely send you pictures once I’m done. 😉

Thank you 🙏

[@62retrac]

So impressed with what you have done here! True you are not a carpenter or joiner! And I'm sure there is an abundance of do's and don'ts but above all you did it and in your own way with learning curves along the way! But well done you! If I were to say anything it would be keep on doing what you are doing but treat yourself to a couple of plastic saw horses with a big piece of osb to sit your drop saw on! 👍💪

[@bobbystickemup857]

looks amazing, what depth mdf did you use?

[@kirstygriffiths749]

I used 18mm to match the doors

[@nancychestnut8928]

Fantastic! Kudos for hand sawing everything too! Now, can you come to my house?

[@kirstygriffiths749]

😂lol.

[@rosehartland7737]

where did you get that crown molding guide?!! i need that!

[@lizt7380]

Oh wow that's brilliant. I followed your video for the stairs panelling and it came out gorgeous 😍 Can I ask why do you leave a gap between the wardrobes and then fill it with wood, is it due to the doors?

[@kirstygriffiths749]

No, it’s so it looks fitted. If I just put the pax right up against each other it would just look like a standard pax wardobe.

[@LaLeLu-jx4no]

Wonderful work! I have one question: Why did you choose the doors in oak? They are also available in white and this would be more forgiving, if the paint is not "overcorrect". Thank you for showing every step!

[@kirstygriffiths749]

So the inside was fully oak. It would look odd with white internal doors and the oak internal frame. The inside looks so much better than mine ( see my other videos)

[@LaLeLu-jx4no]

@@kirstygriffiths749 Thank you! I commented before you explained, why you choose that doors.

[@yely7071]

I like ❤❤❤ from France

[@Maowel]

I am so impressed by the result! Stunning job! Thank you so much for uploading. May I ask you how much this total project cost you? I am in the process of buying a house that has a few very large but ugly cupboards with sliding doors right in the middle of the living-room. I am torn between keeping them because you can always use the storage capacity, and getting rid of them because they are so hideous. Your video hints at a middle ground: replacing them by customized, fitted Pax cupboards :)

[@kirstygriffiths749]

It was around £1100 all in. The drawers increased the price. With just tails it would be cheaper.

[@Maowel]

@@kirstygriffiths749 Thank you so much!

[@JordanPratt-dl3rn]

Hi how do you see the link of all the workings out and timber etc? What do you click?

[@Chris-fp2pg]

Thanks so much for this. Will definitely help as we install our Pax wardrobe! Also love your gold handles, but the link doesn't work for me. Could they be discontinued already??

[@kirstygriffiths749]

Link is working fine. Still in stock on Amazon. You may need to copy and paste if your device is blocking it.

[@Chris-fp2pg]

@@kirstygriffiths749 Thanks so much for the help. It's still blocking, maybe because I'm in Canada? Anyway, love all your hard work!!

[@Lou-bg1xc]

Looks great, though, I would of liked to see how it looks in the inside.

[@kirstygriffiths749]

One the inside is finished I will share. I have other videos for internal options on my channel.

[@blancaluzm]

Wowwww 😊😮❤

[@kirstygriffiths749]

Thank you 🙏 ❤️

[@bluelights85]

Great walkthrough thanks! Out of interest what was the total cost of the project? Also, are there any views of the interior? Did you design the custom interior too?

[@kirstygriffiths749]

It was about £300 on top of the cost of the IKEA bits. That’s MDF, trim & handles. I have a full inside video on my channel.

[@ThePeteyD]

Hi.. do you need to leave a perimeter gap around where the doors will sit against the framing? A lot of chafing on my last attempt so just thinking eg a 5mm gap would be useful but maybe unsightly. I’ve ended up planing the doors a bit..

[@kirstygriffiths749]

I line up the frame I add with the edge of the ikea pax frame. No extra gap needed. The door hinges pull the doors inwards, they don’t hit the frame.

[@ThePeteyD]

Thanks Kirsty - I will go either way that. Probably should be doing other things pre Xmas but I’m halfway through!!

[@traceye.6428]

You’ve done an amazing job! Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve been avoiding building wardrobes for so long. Now I feel I can tackle it.

[@nathanpowell1545]

Fantastic job! Can I just confirm, do you have to space between each of the wardrobes? What’s the pros and cons please?

[@kirstygriffiths749]

Yes I do. I feel without it does not look like a bespoke wardrobe.

[@nathanpowell1545]

@@kirstygriffiths749 I’ve only got 260cm to play with and I’m trying to squeeze in a 250cm wardrobe so I’m not sure I’m going to be able to get much of a gap in

[@natalietaylor5534]

Do you screw your base frames into the skirting board on the wall? I know you said you wanted to keep the skirting incase the wardrobe is moved in the future - I am in the same situation and didn’t want to damage my skirting by screwing into it but want to make sure the base is secure

[@kirstygriffiths749]

I screwed the base into the skirting. If you make holes in the skirting from screws you can just fill if you need to.
