How wide and deep are the PAX frames you used? I'm finding the Ikea options a little confusing: some models come in certain depths and widths, but no doors, or only sliding doors, sliding baskets only work with certain dimensions. Thanks for any help you can offer!Margaret Petrey Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098954819548813243.post-90676852438664287342015-01-02T15:20:47.038-08:002015-01-02T15:20:47.038-08:00Loved what you did for your Pantry project and app...Loved what you did for your Pantry project and appreciated the sources provided. (ie: Pax frames with Bergsbo doors.) Your kitchen also appears to be coming together beautifully! -Brenda-<br />P.S: Re using the 'shellac' Zinsser primer on the doors; personally I think 'the all purpose type' (blue and white can) would have sufficed as I have used it on every type of surface imaginable and have always had excellent results whereas the 'shellac' type have applied it only to new wood to prevent the bleeding of knots. mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098954819548813243.post-20143624876748631242014-08-22T15:13:48.398-07:002014-08-22T15:13:48.398-07:00No problems for us but we don't have a huge am...No problems for us but we don't have a huge amount of weight on them. A couple of the shelves do have quite a bit of weight but they aren't filled with rows of heavy plates or anything. The Ikea website probably has weight limits for the shelves on their product page—I would check that first! Worst case scenario you could always replace it with more substantial pieces of wood and secure it through the sides (or studs in the wall).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09585541078715745807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098954819548813243.post-87662076032798122942014-08-22T14:46:23.247-07:002014-08-22T14:46:23.247-07:00Hello:

I have been contemplating a similar undertaking but have been worried about the weight tolerances of the Pax shelves/drawers/baskets. Now that your panty has been in use for a few months, have you had any issues with the load bearing capacities of the Pax interior pieces? I have been trying to think of ways to fortify them. Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098954819548813243.post-4960269148760320122014-04-05T07:02:10.804-07:002014-04-05T07:02:10.804-07:00I made them myself!

I admire all your DIY projects and intend to tackle the headboard project soon. I also have the perfectionist bug but like you mentioned in a post I'm also learning to letting thing ride instead of letting all hell lose because it's not. SO yeah I really commend all your work, and I hope to be able to boast of quite a number of DIYs and a lot more hands-on projects. Anyway my question for ya lol, how and what did you use to label your glass jars/mason jars on the bottom shelf of the pax-pantry? I saw the blue circle thingies and figured they were labeld. I would like to create sth like this so if you can send a link my way that would be great. Thanks so much and more power to ya lol. Can't wait to see what more is in store for your house 3 :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098954819548813243.post-53160021180656634522014-03-22T20:40:46.102-07:002014-03-22T20:40:46.102-07:00This looks awesome!
