Our Closet Reveal: From Thin Air to Dressing Room (The Ultimate IKEA PAX Hack!)
Pinch me. This is our closet now. And although this is a before photo, below, it's not really THE before photo, because this room didn't exist before! We added a ceiling/floor to a two story space and made it our closet. (Below is the music room for reference). The idea came in as we were […]

Master Closet update: Building up the wardrobes, and a photoshop rendering!

Installing our IKEA Pax Wardrobes (plus, Tips for Planning and Shopping for Pax!)
The last time we talked about our closet, we showed you our plans to install IKEA's Pax system. We used their planner online--which is a lifesaver for so many reasons, but the best part is you can change your mind and change it all around. After our initial plans, we took some of your feedback […]

Designing Our Ikea Closet Might Kill Me.
I need to be honest--we struggled designing our closet. I think we always assumed once we had squared off corners in an open space (something we did during our bathroom renovation), it would just be easy and everything would come together. But then it didn't. It could be that my brain from a lot of […]
