Budget closet makeover using IKEA PAX 

Best part: encouraging your little ones to try rather than pushing them away. Mad props man 🙌

Great video. The best part was his adorable daughter helping him. God Bless her.

What a great Dad! Encouraging and teaching, great job as well. thanks for sharing :)

Love that your kids are helping.... they grow so fast... and they will remember quality time building with DAD :)

That's a great corner piece hack! I never thought of adjusting them! Looks great!

Hey Austin. I really enjoyed this video. Good pace, nice editing, and excellent commentary. Keep it up!

Best part of this video- the mini me X2. My dad use to make & fix everything himself, my mother encouraged him to get my little brother in there with him to learn when he was little. He's all grown up now & is a pro now @ fixing everything & building anything. He even fixes all the computers & all viruses for the sherrif's dept., where he works. It really changes their early minds & how they think if they learn to fix things on their own. Only wish I would have learned all that my brother got to when we were young, but it wasn't that way back then. Keep it up!

Love this...we’re building our house next year, shop fitted wardrobes are not something I want to spend big money on buy have bought IKEA wardrobes before so good value for money. Great dad skills too 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Good interiors. I liked the kids involved and enjoyed the makeover. Cute and smart babies...

Great job! Nice touch with the handles, it finishes it off… IKEA should take note 👍

“If you are gonna do it, do it right”…. I have mad respect for your work ethic!!! There are too many half-assers out there! Also, the closet is awesome!!! Well done 👍🏻

OMG! I couldn't even focus on the closet makeover, for noticing how beautiful and adorable this little lady is. Aww 🥰🥰😊 She is so cute!

How wonderful that you're including her in that she will remember that later on

Awesome little helpers! Happy fathers day dad.

"Papa Painting" .. How beautiful was that! Made my day! Thanks for sharing.

Great job, and lucky you to have such a good little helper. You are the first person I've ever seen use Dunn Edwards Swiss Coffee besides me. I used it in every house I've had in the last 30 years.

I have a narrow walk in closet and thinking of a makeover. This is giving me so much inspiration. Thanks for sharing

So Sweet! Great Daddy!!😊💕Love the closet!!!

"papa painting...." *tears welling up*

This looks amazing.

Am using drawers from a large dresser to recycle unwanted furniture can use the dresser body as a work table for plants outside add some boards across from recycled wood as shelves but thank you 🙏 it helps those needing guidance in all projects best wishes 🙏❤️☮️🙏❤️☮️

Awww, you're such as a great dad!

This turned out great!

It is scary just how much time I will invest in watching these D.I.Y. videos, hahaha. But they are, (usually), just so satisfying to watch, and way cheaper than therapy, so thank you. Great use of free labour too, lol. Greetings from the UK.

OMG, your daughter’s outfit is so cute! What a cutie.

Tiny helper 😊 too cute

Excellent job!!! I would love to do something like this in our closet!!

aww, the bonding moment with the baby 🥰🥰

Looks fantastic!!

Man that looks good

Blessing little girl!!! pappa painting 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 remained me my children

Modular closets have come a long way, pretty impressed. Good helpers.

She's a natural!! 😍

Love it man. I’ve been watching your videos since the Crown Vic! I’m 28 months in on an entire home remodel so I love the change of pace. Gotta learn how to “cope” those inside corners on baseboard trim. Closets aren’t a big deal but essential for living areas that are move visible.

Love the little guy he's into it doing all he can manage at one time. That big job is a lot to absorb for a little one. Then there were two helpers! Lovely job Dad!

Lovely work!

Beautiful job!

Great team work!

Excellent work 👏

Nice progress! I get to start filming the entire suspension rebuild on my pickup. it's going to be fun

looks great!!!

Great result:) Not a bad end price for his and hers built in s .

Very cool!

Great job 👌🏻💯

Awesome Helper!

Two closets go from "lame old-people" to modern for $1,600 and some elbow grease? Solid investment. Also noticed your in the "1 million view video" club now. Congrats!

very well done!

I can't believe I just watched Austin put together IKEA stuff for 10 minutes on a cell phone. Great job buddy, hope all is well with you and the family

Easy. . .lol Yeah right. Great video and review. Thank you.

Wow, awesome

Very nice!

nice job!!

Those are deep closets. Looks great

Excellent

i would omit the bottom to get more space for shoes and gather less dust that cannot be cleaned, also the side walls i would use wall itself, by adding a 2x4 to secure the drawer walls attached to ceiling and floor.

Nice job dad!

Enjoying the house makeover.

Awww, so is little man! 👩‍🔧👨‍🔧

Looks amazing! Last year, I wanted to do a Pax closet but most of the frames were out of stock so I just bought some laminated shelving and drawer slides from Home Depot and made them myself. I think they turned out better than the Pax and were half the cost. I'm moving in a month and I plan on doing the same thing in my new home. Interestingly enough, the bedroom closet in my new house is the exact same size as in my current home so I am planning on doing the exact same layout.

Your daughter was freaking precious. Mine is 13 now. I miss those days.

What I love most about this video is that you take the time to let your kids help that’s precious time that you could never get back if you didn’t do that. Trust me I know I have major regrets.

Great video

Great closet makeover, thanks for sharing. Gave me some great ideas! Also loving that flooring! What flooring (product/color) did you use?

Look very nice, I have to built a closet and is going to cst me that to enclosed wood and shetrock lol

If you run a bead of glue around the slots for the drawer bottoms, they are a lot stronger and last a lot longer. We’ve had some for 30 years.

Nice!

Cute lil kid ❤️

Smart man. Happy wife, happy life.

Papa painting 🥰🥰

Don't mess with me or... IKEA you... IKEA you!!

Parent to kid when patching holes, “come on, it will be fun”

respect!

Looks great. Do you happen to have the width and depth of the closet space? Seems a lot deeper than what we have. Thanks

Hello! I see that you have something to hold onto the clothes hanger pole thing in your original wardrobe. I'm thinking of installing the same in my pax to hold up my heavy dresses. How do I start going about making that / tutorial? Thank you :)

I love that she calls you Papa! My children call my husband Papa.

So happy to see you encouraging your helpers. What are the dimensions of the closets, please? Curious because of the way they look through the camera lens.

👍👍😎👍👍

Hey Austin, are you still doing anything right now with auto side projects? I know you need to finnish the house... but, was wondering on your plans for back to auto? I like what your doing. . Just thought we might could get together on my 4wd swap on my new "map dart" E-250. house is looking good. Thanks.

Love the handles!!! Can you tell me if there are any tricks to drillings into the drawers? I’m scared the drawer will crack.

Great video. Whats the name of the tool you used to align the handle holes when drilling? I don't see it on your Amazon list.

How many holes are leaving in between braket

Ingvar Kamprad approves this message.

that would be 3x more if ordered through Closets by Design, great job.

Good dad

Add a mirror maybe in the middle?

Where was the sliding hooks from?

Austin, does the metal connector you used for the corner, on the bottom, does it come with the PAX system or you improvised? If so, can you give me the reference for that part?

looks greta. thats a LOT of work for someone else to enjoy it though. How many hours did it all take?

Wow 🤩 I like this & little kids helped papa “Papa Painting” . What is the website you designed closet on computer initially

You gotta put a little trap door to access that unused space in the corners :)

How far out do the drawers open?

But you just moved there... lol. Are you looking to move further out? I am in the Dickson area.

This looks great! Approximately how long did it take you to do everything?

How tall are these cabinets. Prepping for lights above cabinets for an accent.

Where is that Ikea website to design you closet?

This video was uploaded on my birthday. Randomness aside, where did you get the moisture barrier and wood floor pieces from?

How deep is closet?

I am looking at the pax set, how difficult / long did it take putting it together?

good idea but for me and mom that is still to small. haha
