Ikea Expedit hack = closet shelving

We've had a Expedit shelf from Ikea sitting unused in our second bedroom (left from previous owner). Rather than hauling it out and throwing it away, I at least wanted to use the pieces. So this last weekend we finally tried our own Ikea hack to use the pieces of the Expedit to make a linen closet. Here's how it turned out.

We used the outside edges of the Expedit as shelves and the small square interior pieces for support screwed to the sides of the closet. To cut the shelves down to size I scored the laminate with a utility knife and used a circular saw.



Still need a little touch up paint on the back wall, but we're happy with the result.
