IKEA Alex Hack! DIY Faux Apothecary Cabinet. Home Office Update!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 вер 2020
- I adore apothecary units, but they can be pricey. So, I decided to hack the Ikea Alex set of drawers and DIY my own Faux apothecary cabinet. I also have been giving my home office an update, which I will share more in next week's video, but here is a sneaky peak. I hope you enjoy this week's, Ikea Hack.

Reduce Reuse Recycle!! Love your vibe pretty lady!! 🥰 Much love from 🇨🇦
Yes! Thank you sweetheart, thanks for watching x
Very smart use of 1/4” for the faces. Thanks for sharing!
It's a lovely flip! I'd never guess it started out as a plain ol boring Ikea piece. Well done!
Thanks Zoe! I hope you have a lovely weekend x
Definitely better than that original . This is the best ikea hack I have seen yet. U also think the legs look fine as they are. Who is a clever girl xxx
Oh, how I wish you were full time on youtube! I adore you and everything you do. I've watched almost every one of your videos...some of them a few times lol. My baby and I get up from our thursday naps and the FIRST thing I do is look for you! And you never disappoint!!
Aw Emily, I am so happy to hear that, I am delighted you enjoy the videos and look forward to them x
You never fail to amaze me, you really do have some brilliant ideas. I just love how you just get those big tools out and create something fabulous.x
That's such a great hack. I love how you've added the veneers to the fronts and adding legs really gives it a cool look. I'm a terror for collecting legs. I've even unscrewed feet or legs of an abandoned sofa or two that are beyond repair for anything else. They really vamp up a piece. Love all those little drawers so handy for hobbies. Thanks for sharing and inspiring as always x
Love the Ikea hack. You did a great job changing it and it looks fantastic.
Thank you Barbara, I hope you have a lovely weekend, thanks for watching x
Fabulous make over, it’s amazing what can be achieved with a sheet of mdf and a creative and talented mind. Love it xx
It turned out great. Love the sage green.
Really like how the cabinet turned out. And, I like the stain color.
Oh it turned out so pretty and neat.love the way it looks
YES to passing things on ! Looking good 😃
Catherine, I love what you did with this IKEA piece! Great job and it’s so pretty in your space.
God bless you hon!💕💕
Looks fabulous Catherine, looking forward to your next vlog ♥️
Thanks so much Eileen! 😊
Just love your makeovers you’ve become a wizz with the electric tools
I think what you have done with that room is stunning. It does bring a calming effect to one's spirit. A nice cup of hot tea after a relaxing bath at the end of the day, a pencil and some drawing paper and let the creativity flow. ☺
Loved this make over/up cycle, brilliant idea, the colour is perfect, it's one of the colours I'm into at the moment. I also absolutely love your Buddha that you dressed the unit with.
AW thank you Nikki! X
I was gifted one of these as well! I'd considered painting it, but this veneer idea is now a possibility. Great transformation! And I agree, painting the feet may be the way to go. Thanks for sharing your creations!
This turned out beautifully! Love it!
Hey Catherine that turned out really nice. Recycle, reuse and reduce💚❤
Thanks Cathy, I hope you have a lovely weekend x x
Everything is just so very inspiring ,Catherine. All what you do is amazing.This is a super transformation. Really a pleasure to watch as you are helping everyone achieve and follow your great instructions.This Alex unit turned out perfect.will hold lots of things. Thank you so very much,Catherine.

Looks fab!! Well done.
Oh you have outdone yourself this time! It’s fabulous!
You brought out the white wax, and I thought 'yippee!! She's going to say my favourite word!! Autentico!'. And then you didn't. Gutted, I tell you, gutted! Great job, missus, looks fab. Xx

It looks so beautiful !!😍
Looks like old fashioned tool drawers! Amazing!
Lovely job Catherine.! Another great upcycle from you ! Absolutely love what you have done , you are soooooo talented 😀
You are so kind Anne! X Thank you
Great job, love it. I love up cycling, it’s lovely to see the transformation. I like the legs being different. Unique 😉
I love it! Ikea furniture was my best investment ever, I wish I had not spent thousands on other stuff. I have had an Alex for almost ten years. It holds all my paper punches, cutters, rubber stamps, Sizzix dies. The other I cannot live without is the Kallax (formerly Expedit)...oh the best for craft spaces! Cheeky thumbs up my favorite ray of Irish sunshine! xx
Looks great! When attaching lots of handles, make a cardboard template based off the centre of the drawer with your pilot holes❤️✨
Lovely addition to the room. I loved to way you made it "yours".
Thanks Carinne, I am so happy with it x
Love the way you have changed the set of drawers, absolutely brilliant. It gives me an idea to change one of our sets of drawers. Many thanks for inspiration to do this Catherine.
Thank you Leigh! I hope you have a lovely weekend x x
Love it!! You did a superb job transforming a plain, practical piece of furniture with your own personal style. My sister did something similar with an old dresser she found and now it’s pride of place in her newly renovated trailer. Making furniture personal makes all the difference in the world to a space.
Thank you sweetheart, thanks for watching x
Such a nice touch and color...
Brilliant , you will be setting a trend
Oh Catherine, your such a smarty pants! very creative and talented. Beautiful work and well done.
God Bless.
Good job glad your back x
Love the makeover, really creative way to make over utility furniture into something useful and beautiful 😊

Looks amazing ❤️❤️❤️
I have a 2 bedroomed townhouse which is quite large. I used to have a craft shop so I have a ton of things in the craft room. The other day I was helping my crafter friend pack up her house as she's miving. It made me realise just how much stuff I've got and don't use. Once our weather here in Cyprus cools down im going to have a good sort out. I live the Ikea hack and I'm looking forward to seeing what you've done to your office. I'm also painting a couple of walls in my lounge in Willow green.
I love sorting out and passing items on to others, it feels good and allowed space for more abundance to come through, I would love some of your Cyprus sunshine lol x I hope you have a lovely weekend x
That’s brilliant I like the way you what you done to that unit thank you for sharing that give me some idea for my new place when I do move keep safe take care and your family🌸💜😊
You’re so good at DIY I love watching your channel x
Beautiful! Luv the recycle vibe. And of course hugs to the Queenie! Hugs
Very nice! Loving your videos!
What an upgrade, so good.
Thanks Polly! X
Yay! A new video by Dainty always makes my week better! Looks gorgeous. Love to "Queen Bee" and Pepsi! 🐈🐱💗
Thanks Alyssa, I hope you have a lovely evening x
If you box in each of the legs with the same plywood you used on the drawers, (a simple topless, bottomless box glued onto the legs) it would match the stain better. Lovely project.
Looks lovely, great job!
Thank you! 😊
What a brilliant hack. Looks great x
Thank you Viv! X
Your creativity seems endless. I love what you did with this price and completely agree with the Ikea mentality. You have done a beautiful job, I can't wait to see the whole room.
Love from Australia ❤
Thank you sweetheart, I hope you have a lovely weekend x x
Your home is beautiful love your style you are an inspiration. love from Austria.
I’ve always wanted a set of Alex drawers, but nowhere for it at the moment. You’ve done a super job transforming yours! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕
I really appreciate that Penny, thank you x
Love this idea! it turned out lovely!!
Great idea! loved the outcome . Think the feet looked good but still look good painted too.
Thanks Theresa x 👍
This is brilliant!
Excellent idea xx
The legs actually look fine as is. You did a beautiful job. Honestly you always take something & actually improve it from what the original design was. Someone (furnature building companies?) should hire you to assist with designs. Your ideas are lovely.
Aw, thanks Cary!
Love it! You have brilliant ideas! Very important not to buy and just throw away. Reduce, recycle, reuse. My IKEA furniture is more than 20 years and it's doing very well! No intention of getting rid of it 😉. Take care xxx
Thanks Deborah, thanks for watching, I hope you have a lovely weekend x x x
@@DaintyDiaries thank you! You too xxx

You are so kind Brenda, Office makeover is ready to go for next week! X
Great job by Blondie and Pepsi - they both deserve a raise ! Love the new wall colour in your office. I'm looking forward to the reveal. Stay safe and best wishes from Australia 🤗
Thanks Lara, I hope you have a lovely weekend x x
