Check out the paint we used on Benjamin Moore’s eStore to purchase paint and paint samples online or to find a store near you: www.inflcr.co/SHBQs
#BenjaminMoore #BenjaminMooreUK #AD
Our top tips/what we use for doing this hack yourself:
Base
22mm plywood base
12mm mdf strips for packers/feet
Super glue + wood glue
Carcasses / main structure
50cm x 2 (www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/pax-ward...)
100cm x 1 (www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/pax-ward...)
44mm wide square planed timbre (www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Redwo...) - used to separate the PAX units and make a frame at the same time. If we were to do this project again we would use something more like C16 construction timbre so provide the spacing (www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Sawn-...) and plane the edge to give a nice flat look. C16 can be found in many sizes so you could bring it out however far required by the hinge and door designs you go for.
Skirting board (www.diy.com/departments/metsa...)
Wood screws (~3.5mm x 40mm) + X8 Glue (www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsens...)
Doors
Ikea PAX hinge doors - plain (www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/forsand-...)
6mm Hard board strips for faux shaker style - 60mm wide strips
Blum hinges (www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/p...)
Blum plates (www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/p...)
Handles shorturl.at/doBWZ
Super glue + Wood glue
Decorative frames
12mm x 44mm planed wood (www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-White...)
If we did this project again we would use the C16 wood as above and then not need this step

Wow! This is a phenomenal upgrade! Well done! Plus: I find the crown thingy perfect. It gives a slightly more seriously Victorian vibe to it. Just lovely. You two are so hard working, and the attention to detail is just absolutely astounding. Chapeau.

Stunning. Totally. In North America, we call those hinges: European Hinges. The cornice is not too large; rather it is proportional to the piece. Laura, your design style and Ollie, your high visual spatial ability enable superb execution.

You are both such a dream team! It’s so obvious you’ve both grown in knowledge and confidence in your style preferences and Ollie is so gently forthcoming with his advice. Wardrobes look totally unrecognisable as an IKEA Pax system-they’re gorgeous and so suit and complement the space.

We’ve lived in and renovated 2 Victorian homes and they both had beautiful original cupboards built on the landings where you’re building yours, very lucky. I absolutely love Benjamin Moore paint colours and as we’re repainting this year I’m so excited about choosing colours for our home from them. The cupboards are stunning! I don’t think the cornice is too big it looks proportionate to the size of the cupboards.

You could layer the rug. Put a longer plain runner under the pretty rug you like so much.. it will actually sorta frame it. Problem solved.. keeping pretty rug.

I'm from Ontario, Canada and as you were showing all your paints I was like "Check, check and check!". We use all of those paints for our DIYs. The Aura line is the MOST beautiful paint and, truthfully, I use STIX for everything. We always have a can on hand for projects around the house. Good luck!

They look gorgeous! You two always amaze me!! My Dad always used Benjamin Moore paint. He was so good at all sorts of building and things but really didn't like painting. He wouldn't use any paint but Benjamin Moore because he said it went on so easily and didn't need as many coats as other paints. I'm in the US, BTW. The color you chose looks beautiful!

You will love Ben Moore Paint. It's the only one we ever use. If you are painting kitchen cabinets, you should use the Advance line, which has a longer drying time because it performs like an oil based paint, even though it cleans up with water. I am not usually a white-wall person, but I have fallen in love with Ben Moore's color "String of Pearls," which is a chalky white that never looks yellow, dingy or glaring. It looks beautiful with York Gray, which is one of the Williamsburg historic colors. Your projects are amazing! You both have worked so hard on your home and the results are a really remarkable achievement.
