Cosy nook for the bed
Dear John and Sherry Petersik,
If you ever need a housesitter, call me. ~ Jules
Sherry says, "Back in January we used a pair of Pax wardrobes (along with the customizable Komplement interior fittings) to create to 'built-in' closest in our bedroom. When we first installed them they looked pretty ghetto... and a bit too Ikea. But with a little effort, we persevered and pimped them out to look like an expensive custom built-in.
before
Ikea moves inAll it took were some curtains (also from Ikea) instead of doors, some baseboard installed as crown molding to bridge the gap between the top of the wardrobes and the ceiling, and a wooden header to make 'em look a lot less like doorless Ikea wardrobes and a lot more like a soft and cozy sleeping nook that just happened to triple our closet space."

Wow, what a brilliant idea! You're right, it looks very cozy and elegant.
I just wonder... Don't the two sizes of curtain clash a bit? Maybe Venetian blinds on the windows would make this room perfect.
Either way, it's beautiful.

I love what you've done to triple your closet space! Very, very creative and I'm sure a lot more cost/time effective than say, knocking a hole in an existing wall and making a closet out of it. You have taken empty space and gave it utility. I also like how you created crown molding out of the baseboard. It gives a more complete look to the project. Great work! Thanks for sharing!
Nice! Found this one, maybe he bought an IKEA-bed? http://www.hamburgerbed.com/
How do you close your curtains?
It looks like the lamps are in the way...
absolutely love the bedroom's colour scheme and decor (the shell ceiling light is to die for!!) and the hack really made the wardrobes blend in seamlessly...
BRILLIANT!!
rly nice!
Me ha parecido una idea fantastica. Eso si, creo q quedaria mas bonito si pusieras puertas al armario PAX.
Un saludo
hey damn good. fantastic idea.
I like your bedspread. Where did you find it?
Totally, totally awesome! I am so gonna copy this :)
I'll send you pics when I do. Thanks a million.
Wow, it's so cute and a big, big change!
This is an absolutely fabulous idea! I'm just planning some updates for my bedroom at the moment and this definitely goes on my list of possible things to do!
**LOVE** this! moving into a place with a similar bedroom (size, window placement) and may steal the idea. :)

Play nice. Be appreciative of another's efforts. Don't say anything that you won't say in front of your mom or daughter.
