- Hey guys! Nyob Zoo! Welcome to Sweet Little Home!
In today’s video I will be sharing with you guys how to build your very own HIGH-END & BEAUTIFUL CONSOLE CABINET from a typical, standard, & not so pretty looking bookshelf! YESSSS! LOL. This console cabinet is for my living room makeover that I have been working on for months now and so I thought it would be nice to share this process with you all, as well as to help inspire and encourage you guys to build your own too! I won’t lie to you guys; this wasn’t the easiest DIY to tackle. But I believe this was difficult and took us forever to finish (2 weeks) was because this was our very first attempt to do something like this. So that explains why we made so many little mistakes.
Measurement of the finished console cabinet: 36” w x 12.5” d x 40” h. Total cost to build the console cabinet is approximately $115.00. I don’t know about you guys, but this is such a money saver! I see a lot of these that goes for $250 + for smaller scale ones too!
Here is a list of all the items I used in this video for anyone who’s interested:

Evie! I love this video! thank you for sharing the additional door idea! 🥰
It was my pleasure! Thanks for coming back & watching my videos 💕 I truly appreciate it ❤️
Love the idea of the legs and using the yardstick as a border. So creative!
Drilling a bigger pilot hole will probably help with the pull screws and to get a cleaner look on the paint use a foam roller
It was a little flimsier than I expected. I had to add a 2x2 piece of wood to the bottom on the rear side in order to stabilize it better ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxXTh-lz-8W6GcB219vTLp27-MxbZYObBX . It is also starting to bow a little at the outer wall ( I've had it up for about 6 months), I've already had a shelf tumble down because of the bow and the fact that the little shelf brackets are quite short. I went out to home depot and got some longer ones so that the shelves don't tumble down again. Overall, it looks very nice for the price and it holds a lot ( I use it as a pantry). I am very satisfied with my purchase. I just strongly suggest reinforcing it before putting it up.
Absolutely Gorgeous......
I was just thinking yesterday I wanted to make a cabinet with my cubes...awesome timing! 🎉❤
Love the idea of the legs. It turned out beautiful.
Just use a larger drill bit so the screw slide straight through which will prevent stripping.
Thank you for all the tips. So helpful.
I love this. It is a beautiful high-end looking piece and you’ve been very creative without using a lot of high-end equipment. The hinge part is scary but otherwise I’m really thinking of making this.
This is the best tutorial on this! No crazy power tools and realistic. Love the yard stick idea and showing where you had issues. *chef kiss*
I really appreciate the detailed instructions and tips when attaching the hinges.
Great job, and very creative. I love your use of the yardsticks to add interest. If you wanted perfectly smooth edges, wood filler is excellent to fill in spaces without adding any dimension.
I thank you for sharing you did a good job and hope you share some more videos I like your cabinet
Great idea!
I have a cubby just like (except black). I was actually thinking about getting rid of it, but seeing this video has changed my mind. I can't wait to have it done.
Awesome video. I have recently put together a storage shelving cabinet with doors and the doors almost took me out😂 Thanks for sharing. I’m going to try making a couple of these for my cube shelf
Me encanto por que lo mostró tal cual , con prox y contras del procesó
Definitely an inspiration! Great job & great tutorial!!🤗🥰
To make sure you don't put a whole all the way threw the wood measure the depth and use tape to mark the depth on the drill bit
This turned out great! I appreciate your instruction.
great tips! thanks for sharing your experience in making this. it came out very well. one suggestion. find wood with nicer grain, less raw. it will look better in the end, painted or not.
You did a great job for a beginner. Save yourself the five coats of primer and buy soft wood trim the width of a yardstick in the trim department. They're sold at 36 inches in length and 1 1/2 in or smaller in width. Sense it's softwood, it's easily cut with a miter box and a hand saw.
Nyob zoo!
I was looking for a DIY similar to this and I'm so happy to stumble on your video! Keep up the wonderful work. 🙌
Benjamin Moore Advanced Waterbase semi-gloss paint is the best paint for wood! It is a hybrid between water/oil that cleans up with water and you do not need to seal it.
Great job!!
Amazing job with your DIY console cabinet. It turned out so nice! You can't even tell you used RULERS! to make the shaker cabinet doors lol. Genius! Love it!
😂 I’m so glad it worked out! Thanks for watching 💕
Great job
Hello New member here, loved this project, looking forward to making some of my own. Inspired ")
This is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like it Laney! Thanks for watching 💕
Hello Sweet L H when drilling holes for the handle screws use the the next size Drill bit up from the one you used .Those srews are only designed to have no resistance from the wood.
BEAUTIFUL! You never disappoint with your amazing skills and talents. Will be recreating something similar to this. So thank you for sharing!
I’m so glad to know you’ll do something similar! That’s so great! And thank you! I appreciate your kind comment ☺️💕
I love this idea and it doesn't look too complicated to do. I was wanting a couple cabinets like this but prices are high and I want a diy instead. You have inspired me.
Thank you for sharing!
4:47 - It's best to caulk before painting
This was great, thank you so much! It turned out great and yes, you definitely inspired me!
This is stunning! So amazing that this was your first attempt. You did GREAT! Thank you for sharing!
Hey Noelle! It was my pleasure! I’m so glad it turn out nicely! ☺️
Amazing job! Love the transformation
Thank you! I appreciate you watching ❤️
So lovely, keep it up.
Thank you ❤️
A great piece and turned out beautiful- maybe this will help for other projects:
- these screws are a bolt type screw, they should just slide through the hole you’ve drilled - they’re not made to have resistance. They stay in place with the attachment of the door handles on the other side.
- Also, when you add glue to raw wood, pin nails are only used to adhere the piece while glue is drying - the glue is actually stronger than nails once dried. ( I know you mentioned you would use nails if you had them - there really is no need with trim unless you don’t have enough clamps).
Amazing tutorial👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾this really really helped a lot
OMG 😍 Wow! You are talented! Amazing 💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you Taylor! Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Woooow sis. You’re amazing 😻
☺️☺️☺️ thank you! 💕💕💕
Wow, you did a beautiful job! I have been looking for ideas on how to put doors on my bookcase, and your video was amazing! And don’t worry about making tiny mistakes, because mistakes are teachable moments for us… you do a great job explaining all the things that we need to watch out for… Really a great video🎉! I’m looking forward to more videos from you!
You are absolutely talented! 😍
☺️ Thank you! 💕
Awsome
Just found ur channel. I have bout 4 of these in my home from target. I’m going to make this. Thanks for sharing. Do u think the plywood u got wood make four doors?
I really enjoyed watching your upload!! Keep up the excellent work! I'm looking
forward to another awesome video!! Take care and stay in touch!! 🌻🌞🌻🌞🌻
Thank you! I appreciate your kind comment! 💕
Is there anything you can't do! This was amazing!
Love the masking tape hack!
There’s a lot I can’t do. But that won’t stop me from trying 😂 Thanks for watching Troy!
Rug, please! ❤
Thanks for this - just wondering how is it holding up now?
great job 🤍🗄 thank you for the inspiration. I bought the target cube shelves that are 12 instead of 9. how do I figure out what size plywood I will need to buy? (for the doors)
Exactly was looking for this, I have a shelf and I did nőt know how to put doors.
Another note: sample size paint is not the same as the brand paint. Its pigments floating in a dryable, stable liquid allowing people to see how the real paint will look on th air walls. If you are not using a clear coat such as verathane, you will want to use real paint for your project.
🥰🥰🥰👍👍
Thanks so much for watching ☺️💕
Why did you decide not to put a backing on the cabinet?
for how simple that cabinet was. I think it was better to buy a piece of furniture with doors. You would have saved money, time and effort.
