IKEA PAX Custom Build pt 2

Welcome back! So we've had a fanatical weekend and a solid couple of days. My weekend went far too fast, I have a roundup of my weekend here, but during that time we nipped to IKEA for the bits I wanted for our wardrobe and now it looks amazing! Here is the before.

After we installed the Carcasses and put our clothes in for the first time.

 And here is The After!

Cost

Fabulous isn't it, all together the item cost us £455 sans hangers £485 with hangers.

The wardrobe carcasses and inside section cost £215
Minus £120 and £25
 
We had a MasterCard loaded with £120 from a BT deal we got on Black Friday in 2018- £25 still left on my IKEA family card.

Total Cash amount £70.

I have a part one post about this here, I'd suggest you read that, come back and then read the rest of this.

And the drawers and doors cost us £240.

Altogether the cost to me and J was £310. 

Which isn't bad going considering that this wardrobe will last the test of time, I designed it and it's totally custom to both me and J, future proof as we can switch it up when we move (in a couple of years) and replace any thing that gets damaged. At the moment it is bolted together but that can be undone. I am literally so glad J is a joiner because I wouldn't have been able to make this look as level as it does. He even got out his laser level and everything.

My Shopping List:
4 x Kompliment Clothes Rail 100cm
1 x Kompliment Shelf 75cm 
1 x KOMPLEMENT Mesh basket with pull-out rail 75cm by 58cm
3 x KOMPLEMENT Drawer 75cm by 58cm
4 x VIKEDAL Door Mirror glass 50cm x 195cm
2 x 100cm Wide by 58cm Deep by 201cm tall Carcass
1 x 75cm wide by 58cm Deep by 201cm Tall Carcass

Why Mirror?

I went for the mirror finish because at the minute the only mirror in the room that was workable was the vanity (see picture above), but I can’t see everything in that. Only my face and when I don't have my contacts in I am squinting! I am planning to change my diet up in the next coming weeks and incorporate some exercise into my monthly goals and I feel the best way to see your progress is by taking before and after pics, very much like this post.
Because of the addition of the wardrobe a lot of items have been transferred from the chest of drawers over to the wardrobe which has opened up more storage for my beauty electronics and the like. Our knick-knicks and socks are in this wardrobe now and no longer in the chest!

Accessories

These Velvet Hangers, I got 100 for £30.
Thats 30p a hanger!!!!!! If you want them please go to this affiliate link and support this post at no cost to you.

We already had some white wooden ones but these were just too amazing and uniform to pass up. 
I am chuffed with the doors, I am chuffed with the drawers. We have our knick-knicks in them and the bottom drawer is for our pajamas and night things!

Soon when we have bedside tables we will put our night things in there and we will have a new purpose for the bottom drawer but at the minute I love every single thing about it!
I love the mirror and I gave them a good clean before taking a picture as it had finger prints from where J had installed them. Gotta give the boy props! He's a joiner by trade and he had been at work all weekend and I asked him install the doors on the wardrobe, he's a good un!

We sometimes plan to do things, get the provisions ready to start it and think ah fuck it, can't be arsed. But at the min we've been thinking, well if we do it now we can enjoy it as soon as possible! And that sentiment has definitely spurred us on to get cracking with this!

Whats next?

Side Tables! I’m gonna do an IKEA RAST HACK- my Pinterest is flowing with up-cycle goodness
Lamps
New Bedding and Some More Cushions
Prints/Art but I will be doing that as a little project by myself so I'll keep you posted on that!

We moved in November I reckon by the end of March this Bedroom will be dreamy! It takes time to decorate via furnishings when you are also trying to save to buy a house, but bit by bit we are doing it justice.
