    Welcome back to a series we call “That Cost How Muuuuch?!”. As the title suggests, this is a series where we look at products that literally make ourselves ask “that cost how much???” and figure out if we can essentially DIY them for a lesser price.
    In today’s video, I am going to be DIYing some highly requested projects! The Bookworm Bookshelf by Kartell is a home decor piece we've wanted to make for a while now, so we finally decided to tackle it! Next is a pendant light from CB2, the Bruno Light. It's absolutely stunning but it is also $699 and while she's gorgeous...that's a bit too much in my opinion.
    Let us know your final thoughts on how you think these projects turned out!

    Honestly, just the addition of edge banding on the lampshades is a great hack for making super-simple lampshades look more expensive.

    I love that you chose the cheapest way first. Even though it didn't work for the extreme curves, where it didn't break demonstrated you could still do this in a smaller ripple-ly version and get a similar look if you didn't want to invest in the flex board. I hope you continue this series it is definitely one of my favorites.

      Companies like this only sell to people who are looking to spend a lot of money for something really specific. That's kind of what the sorry girls go after, I wish they liked more normal things but they choose designer stuff to replicate

    Could the bookshelf have been made even more affordable if made with a thin aluminum sheet? I think the original is metal right? It would also be cool if the book support portions were covered with book covers/bindings to make everything look like it was floating.
