Back when we were renovating the future "baby" room, we decided to get rid of the closet that was in the room originally:
Well, it wasn’t so much of a closet as much as a thick wall sticking out of the main wall and taking up space. It had one shelve, one metal bar inside and two old sliding doors on the outside. It wasn’t functional, it wasn’t built-in and it had to go:
V demolished it in seconds and we felt so much better after it was gone (isn't his face expression just priceless?):
We figured out that once the time comes, we’d get something instead of it. Now that we are impatiently waiting for the space to be occupied, we decided to fill the corner that we’d freed up with a store bought wardrobe.
Ikea’s corner PAX seemed to be so right for the spot. Since the bedroom event is on right now, we went and got one this weekend (V’s assembling it these days):
It takes up less space and has lots of storage potential. We can hang some clothes and store seasonal ones without packing them away and bringing downstairs. For little items, we’ve added a side panel on the left that holds shelves, drawers and my all time favourite - basket, which is great for storing shoes.
In order to save a little on this investment, we didn’t go for the tallest option but settled on the smaller one and opted out of the high gloss doors. Even though we love them so much on our bedroom PAX, they didn’t seem necessary in the child’s room. (not to mention super pricy)What do you think? Would you install a corner PAX in the kids room?
yes, absolutely. Pax is the best :) I really miss mine!
ReplyDeleteI agree. If I could have one in every room, I'd be the happiest homeowner there is!:)
