Kathy added a few touches to the Pax wardrobe to create this warm, woody closet. If I didn’t know better, I’ll think it’s a spa and stretch out for a massage.<\/p>\n

\n“I found your web site quite by accident and felt I had located long lost relatives I never knew existed. I have been hacking Ikea items for years but never knew the practice had a name (or a following). Here are photos of just one of my favorite projects. This is my master bedroom closet that I outfitted entirely in Ikea pieces (mostly Pax<\/a> wardrobes but also drawer units that I\u2019ve forgotten the name of and the ever-popular Expedit. (I worship at the altar of Expedit.)<\/p>\n

I started with plain, birch wardrobe doors and embellished them with 4 elements:
\n– brown and black toile wrapping paper
\n– expanded metal that I custom-painted with hammered bronze spray paint
\n– wood trim that I also painted with hammered bronze spray paint
\n– and finally, door handles made from curtain rods screwed in sideways<\/p>\n

\nI also mounted a Christmas wreath around the main light and wired it to a remote control switch. I use it for ambient lighting.<\/p>\n

It is my favorite room in the house, even though it’s only a closet. Enjoy!”<\/p>\n
