Good work ! I'm a carpenter by trade, and I'm impressed 🙂

[virnacastelli]

Wow lady, you're a pro. You 've really inspired me to do the same. It came out very beautiful and luxurious.

I took note of the substantial base that you built before you positioned the wardrobe.
A solution you may not have considered for extra storage at floor level (I've seen this in kitchens exploiting unused space at kick board level) that space could have accommodated kick board drawers (push activation, no handles) shallow enough to accommodate shoes freeing up in-wardrobe storage. So that's 3 drawers you could have inserted sourced from the kitchen range. I'm about to build 2 wardrobes and very attentive to innovative solutions. I appreciate your step by step approach.

Little tip for calking, use a calking gun and fill then with a baby wipe before it dries wipe excess off, result no sanding ... I used this method for exact same moulding on my walls.
Great job looks beautiful.

WOW this turned out fab and looks AMAZING !

As an FYI I had the same height issue with my modern build apartment i.e. ceiling height of about 235 so my carpenter took 2cm off the bottom off the bottom of the wardrobes (the plinth) then built them standing up and secured them at the back to the walls. I had 3x 100cm units and the whole process took 2 hrs between carpenter and his mate. 
Fits perfectly and gives me the extra storage space as I have added shelves at the top of the wardrobe for out of season clothes. 😊

Very impressive. I love how you dressed them up with the mouldings and the golden handles.

After you putting the doors I was like: really good stuff, now it's ready to use. Then I realized that it was the beginning of the video)

I’m hooked on your videos now. Just moved house so everything needs doing. Thank you Kirsty

[kristinalea]

You did a beautiful job with this! I hope you don't ever need to pull it out!

[alisonbailey]

Awe😂some job Kirsty! Youve got a great finish there. Filling, sanding, caulking is so important to get that fully fitted look. Truly, one of the best Ikea projects Ive seen. ❤

[helnbak]

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for sharing what you’ve done. Love that you haven’t got a room full of tools 👍🏻👍🏻 I would love to do something like this.

[MychaeltoddRH]

That is very grand- classic clean look. I'm inclined to copy that for my new relocated closet. I turned my closet into a bathroom, just a toilet & sink.... extras like wall safe behind picture and lighted mirror.

[jeannesemple]

Hi this is such a helpful video!! Just wondering how you got the MDF at the top to hold

[anthony]

Quality that Kirsty belter job in my next house am 💯 doing this
I tried to do the BnQ veneered wardrobe sheets look okay for like £200-300 I was getting quoted of wardrobe company’s £2-3k I think I’ve been to ikea once in my life but am going to be all over that well done 👏🏻

Oh and them cracks in the wall to fix there easy just use a Stanley knife and rake out the crack in the same pattern then put skrim tape over it it’s what plasters use to join boards or fix cracks then fill it about 1inch past the tape sand and paint it will never come back 😊

[arturklotz]

Looks amazing, love it! Thank you for sharing.

Great video. I have been looking at re doing our primary bedroom reach in close with PAX minus the doors because we have nice sliding doors already. This helped because I will have some spots where I will need to put fillers in like you did.
