Besta shelving unit as linen closet

I’m very pleased to report that our linen closet no longer is a big hole in the wall but very neat and glossy storage unit: Quite a departure from the original structure, don’t you agree?:After ripping the original old shelves out, we went to Ikea and got this shelving unit to insert into the niche instead. It fit the space almost perfectly. As you can see, it was a bit short at the bottom; we used leftover Ikea kitchen cabinetry legs (that can be adjusted to the desired height) to lift it up: And just like with out bedroom PAX but only at the bottom, we closed it off with a white plank and a bit of caulking: The glossy door was on sale to our luck so we got it too to close off the future mess inside:): I haven't finalized the inside organization yet. For now it's just shelves. But I am very tempted to play around with other Besta system interior fittings. Like this mirrored shelves that can be used as a bar, maybe? Or these drawers that can be added later on? Love the endless possibilities and the convenience.
Once again, thank you, Ikea:)
