Client used IKEA's designer to select and arrange Pax wardrobes for one side of the room...

IKEA designer for the second side.

Walk in closet, some assembly required

Removing trim from around existing closet

Trim around existing closet

First cabinet assembled and in place

Second cabinet goes in, revealing an issue with the AC vent. That will need to move.

Quick mockup of where the crown moulding will go.

Vent wasn't too bad to move. It used flex duct.

Measuring the thickness of the cabinet walls

Mockup of what door threshold would look like on the fronts.

I thought I might use quarter round in some areas. In the end, I did not.

Another shot of the vent move in progress.

Asked the client what to do about this outlet. They decided to just cut a hole in the cabinet in case they needed to access it.

Measuring outlet location

We decided to trim away he top trim to make the cabinet flush against this wall

Three cabinets assembled

First wall assembled!

On the left side of the fourth cabinet, right up against the door trim.

AC vent move, still in progress...

I don't have a table saw with me, so I improvised with my circular saw.

Ripping 2x4s for the raised base the cabinets will sit on generated a lot of sawdust.

Raised base for left side of room

More raised bases

Good, everything is lining up!

I really should have put ram board down early in the project.

Revised and adapted - the most dangerous table saw ever.

More sawdust.

Testing the left side on the raised base.

Quick demo of what the base would look like if we just imitated what was originally in the room for baseboard.

Closet top trim cut back so the cabinets are flush against the wall.

Sample for basic crown - we ended up using something nicer

Three cabinets assembled for the right side

Last cabinet assembled!

This one is also flush with the wall.

The light switch was going to get covered up, so I relocated it to be inside the cabinet.

Initial wiring for the switch - this got cleaned up.

The whole room, feeling pretty crowded.

Left side assembled, cutout for outlet in place.
