Oh this reminds me of my mom. There wasn't anything that she couldn't make or do. She would look at something, and say oh my gosh I can do this with that. And then do it. She was so smart. Her ability of spatial visual and being able to take something that I could look at and immediately make something in her head and then bring it into fruition. What a beautiful thing. I miss her so. With that said. She's still inspires me on a daily basis. Especially whenever I want something. Remembering her helps me think outside of the box. Not all has lost when we lose someone. They live on throughout our thoughts and our actions. I love you Mom. I hope I make you proud. I always ask what would my mom do? And then I get to it. Haha 😆
Beautiful work. I ordered that jig about 7 years ago. My husband's like are you serious I said you better believe it. 🤣🙌🏼
What beautiful words. My mum is the same as your mum, she can make it fix anything! I’m so lucky to still have her. I don’t know how I will cope when she leaves this world one day. She is my best friend. Cheers to mums who guide us through life. 🌺
Perfect layout with greenery and lighting. Best place to relax after a tiring day.
Thanks so much. It’s definitely a nice place to relax.
Well I'll be dipped...I have a futon frame I was trying to figure out how to make a couch out of for my living room...❤ thank you!!
You could easily pad the arms with foam and cover those as well. I’d make a lightweight box frame for the arms if I was doing an indoor lounge. The sleeper arms I did are SUPER heavy.
This is so great. I really dont understand why people only have tables and chairs in their backyard. Great job.
Thank you!
Genius to reuse the futon section!!!!!
❤️
I am insanely jealous of people who can just make things. Well done.
Anyone can do it, you just have to watch a few videos on you tube and give it a go.
Hi Nicole....seriously good idea re using the old ikea frame...turned out awesome 👍😁🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I like the idea, but I have doubts about how is working this ikea frame in outside with rain and cold.
Finally utube recommended something I love!!!
Aww thank you :)
ok what ! youtube creator recommended your video to watch for its DIY and the fact that we are all in australia! and man im i soooo glad they did! this is so awesome. the fact that you combined the ikea frame with sleeper logs OMG!! the sleeper longs are the cheapest i can find in bunnings and i love them but i always thought they needed like to be put through a planner. but sanding for hours seems a cheaper option for sure. love this woman!!!
Thank you!
The best video of making out door furniture. Love it!
Thanks so much!
You had me at "dinosaur skin" and "sponge cake" :-) Hahahaha nicely done.
Haha thank you!
GENIUS!!! Wife and I just spoke about selling our old IKEA beddinge sofa bed for cheap. Will definitely give this a go.
Awesome! I’d love to see it when you’re done! I’m on all the socials as NicoleHerrickDIY if you feel like tagging :)
Such creativity and talent! ❤️
Thanks so much :)
Girl you are a bad ass!!! 🤩😍. I like that you actually made the cushions yourself, the piping gave it that custom... luxe...touch. Yes, they can be bought for less expensive, but you get what you pay for... is what I believe in. And the inexpensive ones are thin and just not comfortable, yours looks good enough to sleep on.
Thank you so much lovely!
I'm doing this tomorrow
Excellent! I’d love you to send me a photo. I’m on Insta, Facebook and tiktok.
I think it is amazing. So talented and most likely better than the expensive stuff, love it.
Thank you so much!
Sooo nice and it is all your creation. That is what makes it that much nicer☺
Thank you so much! Yes I love that I made it, even if it wasn’t from scratch :)
love this idea! - the hunt for old ikea furniture is on ;)
Absolutely amazing. You should do it as a living
Thank you so much.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks so much
Brilliant skills man...I mean lady. Well done!
Haha thank you!
Thanks Nicole! Great solution!
You’re very welcome
Watching in the morning as i am in UK
Wow. Just wow. Amazing creativity
Thanks so much!
Super impressive. Looks great.
Thanks so much
Wow! This is lovely!
Thanks so much!
You are SO clever!!!! Well done!!
Thanks so much
I like this and I’m inspired and I don’t want to throw any shade but if you think this is a cheap way to build an outdoor sofa just remember that the tools cost money too.
They sure do, but who said you have to use expensive power tools? A hand saw, sandpaper, handle drill, needle and cotton all don’t cost much. I don’t buy power tools as single use items, I invest in equipment that I use to save myself thousands of dollars every year. I also make money with my power tools. Also, do you include the cost of the oven in a loaf of bread?
Dooner always sounds better than duvet! Good work btw
Thank you.
Well bloody done.
Thank you :)
HI FROM Germany .... well done it looks amazing. You doing a great work. Have a lovely day
Vielen Dank Petra!
This is fuggin genius
Awesome futon transformation hack and I love the style of it!!❤
Thank you so much!
Wow fantastic, and very creative. Love it !
Thank you so much ☺️
You can buy huge pillows for the furniture at goodwill which are also sanitized , I sew my own pillowcases for $3 per pillow, just buy fabric at HL most the time it's 30% off
It would be great if we had that at our second hand stores in Australia. The fabric at our fabric stores is 50% off most of the time but their outdoor fabric isn’t good quality. I need to remake these as the fabric didn’t last very long. Going to use Sunbrella this time.
BRAVO! BRAVO!! BRAVO!!! I absolutely love what you have created. Amazing job! Thanks for sharing and one day soon I'll get the nerve to try this 😉.
Thank you so much
Fricking awesome job
Thank you so much :)
First time seeing your channel and this was AMAZING!!!! Well done
Nicole this is stunning clever girl. Thanks for the inspiration.
You’re so welcome!
Very impressed by your skills. Great.
Thanks so much
Hello from Scandinavia !
GREAT JOB !!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
(Even IKEA does recyceling now. They collect used IKEA furniture, give them a lick of paint or something, and resell them).
All my furniture is second hand, but one item...
An IKEA "Billy" bookshelf from the 80's ! 📚 😄
Stay safe and well.
Love from Norway 💖
Excellent job.
Thanks so much
Looks amazing. Far better than the shop bought stuff. I'm going to do a similar thing
Thank you 🙏
Stunning!
Thank you so much ☺️
Girl, I take my hat off to you! Those Skills!!! Fantastic job.
I'm 62, been Labourer to my husband during all our (small) DIY jobs over the past 40+yrs. Looking back we loved our time together, chatting. Sadly neither of us have the skills to create anything this impressive.
I'm particularly in awe of young women who turn their hand to such DIY. Secretly wish now I had learnt how to bricklay, although back in the day vocational skills train8ng in the UK were very gender specific.
TBH I've got all the gear but no idea...I don't think I'd trust myself with many of our power tools: a circular saw scares the life out of me! Getting too old now, my grip's going.
I'm totally in awe of any young person who gives DIY a go. There's something so satisfying about looking back at what you've achieved.
Keep making your vids for ol' gals like me. 👍 💕
Thank you so much! I only started buying most of my power tool collection at age 39 so you’re never too old. They all seem scary at first but I promise once you use them the first time, all that fear goes away. Here is my video on how to use a circular saw. I have a really small light one that fits in my hand perfectly.

@@NicoleHerrickDIY lol! I shall watch that...with my ol' man...with his heart in his throat!!
Keep doing what you're doing cos it's great 👍 💕
My grandma (born in '29) taught me how to use power tools. She started working in lumberyards in her 20s or 30s and helped my grandpa build the house I grew up in! Women with power tools can do incredible things. 💜💜💜
@@catie5939 my mum was born in '20. She had 5 kids, looked after a menagerie of pets my sibs used to 'acquire', 2 gardens and a 4-bed house she ran etc.
It was brand s new Council house in S.E London ('60) so nothing structural to do. But she and our dad built garden sheds, erected fences, laid paths, re-fitted a kitchen themselves.
They used to decorated most Easter holidays.
I got the decorating 'bug' and was allowed to wallpaper and paint my own bedroom when I was 15!
My mum loved a paintbrush....used to wonder "what colour the front door would be today?' when I came home from school most days!
She was 4'10" and he was 9.5st dripping wet, but they were grafters.
My lil ol' Cockney mum = My Hero(ine!)
@@catie5939 they sure can!!!
Brilliant! 🙌
Thanks so much Shana
Looks great!
Thanks so much
Awesome job
Thank you!
Very good one. You have got great skills.
Thanks so much
So creative! The cushions look comfy too!
Thank you! That was the pre-requisite, super comfy!
I’m coming for a coffee.you did a great job!
Thank you! Coffees in the backyard are so relaxing now.
Wonderful 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Thank you
Honestly..What an amazing idea,using a double fold bed frame..well now I know how to do my new garden sofa for cheap as I already have some new railway sleepers..thank you 🙏😉❤️
Thank you!
Must be good to be in America
All those machines
you guys really are step ahead
Here we have to do it all manually not even a single machine used
I am very fortunate to live in Australia. I enjoy watching true carpenters use hand tools and show their amazing skills.
You're amazing and have inspired me xx
Clever Clever Clever
Thank you

Wow! It looks so great!

Mint !
Absaloute genius
Thank you :)
Great idea and not too complicated to diy. Love it.
Thank you
This is really cool! Only question I have is futons tend to get squeaky over time. How does sound after all the years?
@@GREEDxAXED thank you so much! This one has timber flex strats so it doesn’t squeak at all :)
You so skill and creative person, good job
Wow. Very resourceful.

Beautifully done!!!!!!
A-W-E-S-O-M-E !!!
Thank you :)
Good stuff! Wish I was as creative as you!
Excellent!
Love it ... well done
Thank you 🙏
cool - love the creativity. How is it bearing up to the weather (storms etc?). I assume you bring the cushions in during bad weather? Does the stain come off on the cushions? Many thanks!
Thank you. Yes we just put the decorative cushions out when we are sitting out there. The fabric I used wasn’t the best. I’m going to remake the box cushion covers with Sunbrella fabric as it’s much better rated. Stains came off fairly easily but it got brittle within 2 years and ripped everywhere.
This is a great idea! How is it holding up? My only concern is that the frame would rust / the slats may fail exposed to the elements? Looks fantastic though.
I need to go back and sand the slats and reseal with an outdoor sealer as they are getting a little mouldy. The frame is fine so far. I also need to spray the fabric with some waterproofing as it’s not 100% waterproof like it said. A few cans of marine waterproof spray from the auto store is what I’m going to use for the fabric. The colour still looks great through. Doesn’t look dirty at all. So glad I went with beige. And the legs and frame look great.
Great - thanks for the tip. I’ve just purchased two second hand sofa frames - hopefully they come out as good as yours!
@@danielhumphry4536 awesome!!! I would love to see a photo when you’re done! I’m in insta and Facebook as Nicole Herrick DIY
That is fantastic!
Thank you :)
You are amazing!!!!
Thank you so much 😊
Great job!
Thanks so much
Love it
Thank you 🙏
Wow looks great, I just bought the wood to do another design that I found on UA-cam but I like your design better and so easy thank you
Thank you and you’re welcome. I would love to see what you make.
Most people don't have Greg or pocket hole stuff. You are a professional wood worker. ha ha. The big lumber for ends now would cost about $100.
Many beginner DIYers have pocket hole jigs these days, they are very popular now and much more affordable than they used to be. :)
is that a living room? Sure looks like a living room to me.......!
@@ChristopherLecky I could live out there.
