The original creator for the book table was an Etsy artist from San Francisco named Jane Dandy. "The one photographed here is the one I made for myself and was meant to capture a moment in my life. All the books in this table are about architecture and capsulize the years I spent studying architecture in the San Francisco Bay Area."
@@jpapsxo it sounds like she did but her Etsy is "on a short break" and completely cleared of any info. 😞 I wonder if it hitting Pinterest might have been too much.
Becky, putting those screws in the book table to someday change out books was a boss move...genius! I like the color you picked for the wicker piece. Good job!
The fact that you muted the “hey google” so it doesn’t activate the viewers google homes too is attention to detail and care that I absolutely adore 🥰 thank you editor 🤘
I dont have a Google device so I always have a freak out moment that I've gone deaf 😂 it takes these kinds of comments for me to remember other people actually own them and they get set off
The threaded rods for the book table are GENIUS. Initially I was like “i mean that’s a cool table and all but WHAT IF YOU WANT DIFFERENT BOOKS” Love that you found a way to make that possible! And it seemed really attainable as a DIY too
I agree, total game changer to be able to switch them out! Though I did see a comment that said that the original artist made It to capture a special moment in their life and each book represented that time, which is lovely
Becky, you have the coolest house. I don't want much retro in my space but you do it _so_ well! Love the low wall shelf in your house that holds the Bauhaus print. I need more of these Becky videos where she takes us through her process start to finish. She's a creative queen with impeccable teaching skills and her woodworking projects/DIY upgrades are some of the most interesting. Really like how the book table came out. It's like a love letter to the books you want forever, but make it sustainable!
go becky go!!! this is my favorite sorry girls video in a while..... your thought process voice over in the beginning was really enjoyable and the book side table was both original and well executed. go becky!
Same! The filming, the information shared, it was calming, relaxed, entertaining.. the part of Becky laying on the couch with the mic, I was like “wow Becky. Go Queen.” This video was the best of theirs I’ve seen.
I'd found you guys 10 years ago looking for simple Halloween costume ideas, and here you are now pulling off literal sorcery???? THE BOOK TABLE IS INSANEEEEEE. BECKY YOU DID THAT!!!! ok got too excited bye
Becky and TSG, this is probably my all time favorite. I feel like we really got to know Becky on a deeper level, got to see the process of projects, and I love the final pieces. Love love love! ❤️
this has to be my *favorite* video you have done in a long time. the style of editing and video is INCREDIBLE. it's simultaneously a movie and a tutorial. idk why but there were moments that gave me La La Land vibes (just with the soundtrack music).
I’ve been watching y’all’s channel religiously for three or four years and I am so impressed with how you all have grown and changed. 💕 Your skills are constantly improving and I’m always excited for an upload each week.
This book table is now, officially, my favorite Becky project. I am going to make this table! I was watching and thinking about how I have special books that are just in stacks or on a shelf, lost to the chaos. I love how this not only makes them special, but turns them into art. Useful art. Also, just as I was thinking: But what if you wanted to switch out books? BAM! Becky thought of that. I’m gonna do it too, damn it! Can’t wait! Thank you.
You could also screw the glas on top of the table an make it hold to just one corner so you can turn the glas piece to the side the get to one of the books. in the other corners you could screw spacers. hope you understand what I'm trying to say :) Great work btw
WOW, I'm just loving this more honest and artsy kind of video. Showing a lot more of lifestyle and vulnerability in narration (I can already see Rachel's touch there in the team!). Great work Sorry Girls Team!
That book table has been on both my Pinterest board and Etsy wishlist for years. Glad to see you figured out how to do it and can try it myself. Loved the twist made to it. Also loved the Becky Ted talk that came along with it.
This was definitely my favorite video in a long time. I love the more relaxed/lifestyle vibe of the recent videos. Also always love going down a mid century rabbit hole with Becky. Lastly, the new set in the studio is so gorgeous. Y’all are killing it 😍
Gotta say I am ALL FOR this video style. I like that it's showing the more realistic side of how a lot of us also work on projects in no specific timeline, and the artistic talking head segments with Becky were very pleasant. These projects came out amazing!
Oh my goodness, I think this is my favorite video format with you Becky!!! I felt like I was chilling with you talking out our ideas. So lofi and relaxed 😌
Becky you should totally make a series incorporating concepts with that awesome book from the 40s!!!! (Love you both your channel and you guys so much!) 💕
A magnetized piece of plexiglass could be really cool on top of the table. Drill small holes in the wood and then secure the small magnets down in the holes. Then adhere the other part of the magnet onto the plexiglass so it can sort of float on top and yet be removed easily.
I love this mix of scripted and unscripted! Hearing Becky's voiceover at the beginning talking about her Pinterest board was kind of beautiful and poetic. And then I've always loved seeing Becky and Kelsey in their homes doing DIYs. Perfect mix! Hope to see more!
This is one of my very favorite SorryGirls episodes, particularly the book side table and particularly the modification Becky made so that it can books can be added, subtracted and substituted. I agree with her that it needs a glass top. But it’s fantastic!
I really like this video style. Narrative and add ons of slice of life seems very comforting and calm ❤ loved both DYI, but book table is my favorite. Excellent statement piece for the room
Becky!! Literally my fave sorry girls vid of all time. Loved the projects, but also the time you took to walk us through your thinking and the fact that you validated that the creative process is not always linear! Lastly - the way you opened up about why the design books you chose for the book table was wonderful and made me feel like I was seeing a different facet of your interests. Keep it up - I’m here for it!!
I love this video so much! The editing? Amazing. The rattan barrel shelf? So good. The BOOKTABLE? Sublime. Hotel? Trivago. In all seriousness, you have outdone yourself Becky and I love it! I can't believe I get to watch this content for free lol
Becky this video format was OUTSTANDING! The VIBE when you where in the couch... I cannot! Yes queen! Absolutely loved the soulful talks and the sass ❤ all the tiny finger snaps to you (and the team)!
Becky nerding out about the 1940’s book is the cutest and most fascinating thing ever! And now I want more content like that! Please, Becky, tell memore about your passion for mid century design!
I don’t normally comment but I just felt this video on another level. I can feel Becky’s passion and inspiration through the screen! I felt like I was hanging out with her and the small clips of making coffee, having dinner, painting her nails just really made more relatable. Keep up the great work TSG team!
This video is fiirreee!!! First, Becky talking out her plans and saying does this make sense.... YES and not only that but it’s beautifully logical! I am always so impressed by you and the whole team. 👏🏻🔥👏🏻
I was just thinking about the glass and then you mentioned it. Definitelly putting some glass on top to prevent beverages from damaging the books is the right move. Stunning table! And I love that you can change it up.
I always love seeing the thought process that goes into you ladies' work. Makes me want to try my hands at a few projects myself. Also Becky you truly have the coolest style! You're home is straight out of my Pinterest pins 💕
I love how the book table turned out, major goals! Totally unrelated but I had major throwbacks when you were having sushi, the EU banned styrofoam many years ago (eco friendly laws to reduce plastic waste) and I haven't seen a take-out container like that in so long, what a throwback! That sushi looked really yummy too *drools*
you sure whole EU? I've seen them in Gemany in the last few years, maybe even some other countries, not sure tho 🤔 but i would love to not see them anymore!
Becky these two projects are absolutely amazing! I can't believe you were able to recreate that book table. Absolutely brilliant! And what are the chances you were able to thrift that round piece of furniture to be able to make that dupe??? Fantastic work on these two projects girl!!!
Ok Becky Lynn…I see you 😉! As soon as I saw the book table, I literally said "glue up" out loud, however the use of the rods & end caps is freaking GENIUS 🤯! The C&B inspired shelf turned out quite nice as well, I was in the minority for painting it black but it suits your home in the light color (& can be changed if you choose 😂). Thanks for sharing two fantastic ideas! Sending you, Austin & the entire TSG team lots of 🤗,💜 & 🙏🏻 for a healthy, happy & Blessed week! (😘😘 to Danny as well of course)
The way you thought through making the book table modular and sustainable was pure brilliance. It would have been impressive enough just to engineer it, but to up the ante in this way just goes beyond.
this whole video was beautiful to watch - not just in result but in process!!! kudos to nick and justin for the beautiful sights & sounds and to becky for her amazing thoughts and work!
Girl... Not going to lie, everything int his entire video is a whole mood. The undertones of the bleh time of year after the come-down from the holidays, the laying in bed with the fur babies with the blackout curtains shut, the project stopping points that can feel so incredibly difficult to overcome... This feels like a REAL video, if that makes any sense? The way it was presented, the lighting, the voiceovers, the frustrations of decision making when you're stuck... it's as brilliant as THAT FREAKING LITERAL COFFEE TABLE BOOK TABLE. This is by far one of the most personal videos this channel has ever put out and I feel so much comfort and less alone than i did a half hour ago knowing that I'm not the only one in this season of life. Cheers! Well done! [ ETA: STILL I am floored over the industrial piercing through the table for future modifications. I saw that same table, LOVED IT, and was immediately like "That is a static piece, like an art installation. It is meant to be a time capsule in a way, which is very permanent, so that wouldn't work for me," since, like you said, books come in so many different shapes and sizes. I am L I V I N G, QUEEN
I LOVEEED this video Becky you really came up with a strong style with the years and it shows that it's you, you look confident it's super cool to see ! But you also give real good life advices like not staying stuck on a project but move to something else etc.. Also I loved that you shared more of your inspirations with the book it's very interesting I'd love to see more design/architecture content. And to finish those two pieces looks STUNNING you're right the almond color looks wood like and really brings the parts of the shelf together and the no glue technique was genius and very sustainably interesting ! A big thank you for the quality content you're producing with the team lately I'm not commenting videos a lot but I wanted to tell you all of that 🤍
I love how creative Becky’s projects always turn out!! I’m obsessed with the book table, it looks so good and I kind of want one for my favorite cookbooks!
I loved that you said "we're geeking out together" rather than something like "bare with me geeking out" because it was so inclusive and encouraging others to geek out with their passions ☺️👍 plus I totally was geeking out with you, such a fascinating book!
Yes! It could even be cool to see the hollow bit from the side (especially if you vary the shape of the negative space removed. Optionally, to cover the removed bits add solid end pieces. Love this whole project!
I think the finish on the shelving unit looks a little rough. Could use a cane strip to finish the edges of the cane webbing you added. The book side table looks amazing though 👏🏼
OMG BECKYYY , BOTH OF THEM LOOKS AMAZINGG,LOVE THEM. It is really good that you find a way to make the side table nonpermanent and without damaging the books.
Becky is the ultimate DIY queen. I loved this style of video where you take us thru the entire thought process and that you let the diy sort of run it. I picked black in the poll but I definitely think the beige paint color you chose is perfect!
Becky, I reverse image searched and believe the original artist to be San Francisco-based furniture maker Jane Dandy. I think she used to have an etsy page but I couldn't find it. But that image is credited to her on various sites, hopefully you guys see this and post a credited update!
I just had to comment to say I don’t know WHAT it is about this episode but I absolutely LOVED it! I literally kept thinking, wow this is such a good episode, the entire time! Becky’s a genius and I loved the little shots of her sitting around mulling over ideas; this video felt so personal. Pleaseeee keep more like these coming!
That book table is incredible. And I'm so glad you went with a lighter colour on the shelf (I literally yelled NOOO when you discussed painting it black), I think it turned out really great!
Becky, you look really happy and together. Like someone who really does water her plants regularly and lives the life she has on Instagram. Goals. I wish I could have a Danny.
Both projects turned out great! That FLW book was written by a neighbor of mine. I got one for my Dad as a gift, he was a big FLW fan, personalized autographed. My Dad loved it.
Fantastic results! I love that you found a paint colour that blended so well with the cane. My only recommendation for that piece is to add some cane cording along the cut edges so they're not quite so messy. But otherwise, you nailed it! Super cute result! Also, that book table is amazeballs! Can't wait to see the update when you seal it and add the glass. And I LOVE your solution to holding all the sheets of plywood together - genius! You can definitely add more favourites in the future! As a side note: I totally want to find a copy of Tomorrow's House now. Thanks for sharing that with us - it is a super cool "relic"!
cane cording is a great idea!! will defs post an update on IG when its sealing and the glass is added so stay tuned!! p.s you need to find a copy of it its amazing
These DIYs were amazing!!! Love hearing your thought process. This is definitely motivation for me to tackle my dream DIY projects. ALSO side note: what is the greenish chair/lounger you’re sitting in beside the bauhaus poster?? I need one!!!
I know we shouldn't pick favorites when it comes to the Sorry girls, but I love Becky. Her vibe, style and just the way she works through something makes me so happy. While I soooooo wanted to see that shelf in black, I think it looks nice and that book stand/side table really is such an amazing piece.
Becky I’m obsessed with this table. Kind want to do this with a mix of records and books that inspire me ❤️ *Also 100% making this for my in-laws. Their wedding song was light my fire 🔥 so there will definitely be a doors album featured!!
Thank you so much for not damaging the books! Love the idea of adding more books in the future. The glass top is also a stroke of genius! What a brilliant recreation with a twist!
The original creator for the book table was an Etsy artist from San Francisco named Jane Dandy. "The one photographed here is the one I made for myself and was meant to capture a moment in my life. All the books in this table are about architecture and capsulize the years I spent studying architecture in the San Francisco Bay Area."

So cool!!!!!
Found this too from reverse image search! Supposedly she sells them on Etsy for $1800 if you send her your books
@@jpapsxo it sounds like she did but her Etsy is "on a short break" and completely cleared of any info. 😞 I wonder if it hitting Pinterest might have been too much.
Love the back story! Thank you for sharing. ♥️
Becky, putting those screws in the book table to someday change out books was a boss move...genius! I like the color you picked for the wicker piece. Good job!
literally such a great idea!!!
It was absolutely brilliant.
What’s the point if she’s going to add a clear coat and custom glass piece? Lol
@@smalpiper4999 assuming the glass piece will come off to access the books! the clear coat shouldn’t change the ability to swap out sections.
The fact that you muted the “hey google” so it doesn’t activate the viewers google homes too is attention to detail and care that I absolutely adore 🥰 thank you editor 🤘
I was just about to say the same. They are just 👌
Ohhhh that’s why they do it? I thought it was for copyright reasons or something lol
I dont have a Google device so I always have a freak out moment that I've gone deaf 😂 it takes these kinds of comments for me to remember other people actually own them and they get set off

I had to rewatch the whole thing to find whatever you're referring

Same! The filming, the information shared, it was calming, relaxed, entertaining.. the part of Becky laying on the couch with the mic, I was like “wow Becky. Go Queen.” This video was the best of theirs I’ve seen.
I’m sorry but the masking of the circle in Becky’s Bauhaus poster to show her book table sketching was SO GOOD!! I see you editors!! 👀👀
I was gonna comment the same thing! My creative brain exploded, SO GOOD!
ha came back for this!. thanks for pointing it out. the editors done a bang up job on this video!
I love everything about how they directed and edited this episode.

gorgeous gorgeous girls learn and grow over time :)
Yesss, Justin and Nick! Love the edit of the footage of Becky drawing in the Bauhaus poster. So creative and very sharply executed 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

wow what a great idea!!!
I really look up to Becky. She is so relatable but super smart, creative and strong ! She seems so nice too. I absolutely love her
I applaud Becky's motivation. If I saw a project I didn't know how to tackle, I'd move on lol
Imagine adding onto this table for decades and thirty years from now, it's a credenza :D
WOW, I'm just loving this more honest and artsy kind of video. Showing a lot more of lifestyle and vulnerability in narration (I can already see Rachel's touch there in the team!). Great work Sorry Girls Team!
Rachel?
That book table has been on both my Pinterest board and Etsy wishlist for years. Glad to see you figured out how to do it and can try it myself. Loved the twist made to it. Also loved the Becky Ted talk that came along with it.
Love the narrative and background in this 😆 I want to be like you and actually make things I pin!
Haha me too!
This was definitely my favorite video in a long time. I love the more relaxed/lifestyle vibe of the recent videos. Also always love going down a mid century rabbit hole with Becky. Lastly, the new set in the studio is so gorgeous. Y’all are killing it 😍
I'm so jealous you have a copy of "Tomorrow's House"! I literally gasped when showed it on screen. The 1940's version too!
I just looove these “Becky at home” videos.
Gotta say I am ALL FOR this video style. I like that it's showing the more realistic side of how a lot of us also work on projects in no specific timeline, and the artistic talking head segments with Becky were very pleasant. These projects came out amazing!
Love the editing of this and narration. Almost like a story book😉
Oh my goodness, I think this is my favorite video format with you Becky!!! I felt like I was chilling with you talking out our ideas. So lofi and relaxed 😌
Is it just me or are the Sorry girls getting more creative day by day. Such genius ideas😍
Becky you should totally make a series incorporating concepts with that awesome book from the 40s!!!! (Love you both your channel and you guys so much!) 💕
A magnetized piece of plexiglass could be really cool on top of the table. Drill small holes in the wood and then secure the small magnets down in the holes. Then adhere the other part of the magnet onto the plexiglass so it can sort of float on top and yet be removed easily.
That actually was genius Becky! The table turned out so good & I loved watching you talk about your inspiration in the beginning. Stunning video.
Happy to hear that I'm not the only person who has to work out their project plan staring at the wood and supplies in the store!
I love this mix of scripted and unscripted! Hearing Becky's voiceover at the beginning talking about her Pinterest board was kind of beautiful and poetic. And then I've always loved seeing Becky and Kelsey in their homes doing DIYs. Perfect mix! Hope to see more!
Also, these are two of the most beautiful & skilled things you ladies have ever made!
I am absolutely loving the break the 4th wall thoughts from Becky. Its totally giving me first season of Sex and the City vibes.
This is one of my very favorite SorryGirls episodes, particularly the book side table and particularly the modification Becky made so that it can books can be added, subtracted and substituted. I agree with her that it needs a glass top. But it’s fantastic!
I really like this video style. Narrative and add ons of slice of life seems very comforting and calm ❤ loved both DYI, but book table is my favorite. Excellent statement piece for the room
Becky!! Literally my fave sorry girls vid of all time. Loved the projects, but also the time you took to walk us through your thinking and the fact that you validated that the creative process is not always linear! Lastly - the way you opened up about why the design books you chose for the book table was wonderful and made me feel like I was seeing a different facet of your interests.

I love this video so much! The editing? Amazing. The rattan barrel shelf? So good. The BOOKTABLE? Sublime. Hotel? Trivago. In all seriousness, you have outdone yourself Becky and I love it! I can't believe I get to watch this content for free lol
I am so impressed with how thoughtful the book table construction was. The threaded rods so it can be changed? *chef's kiss*
The next book table should be for your records!!!!!
Wow!! Putting the long screws in the book cube was GENIUS! I think this is the best DIY I’ve ever seen anywhere. VERY cool!!!
Perfect editing to use the Bauhaus poster as a "screen" . I love it! Well done, Nick and Justin.
your fix to make the book table able to grow with you was so genius!! i love how you work with sustainability in mind *claps all around*
Loved the intro to this video! So calming 🥰
Becky this video format was OUTSTANDING! The VIBE when you where in the couch... I cannot! Yes queen! Absolutely loved the soulful talks and the sass ❤ all the tiny finger snaps to you (and the team)!
That book table is also going to live in my head forever. Awesome job.
Becky nerding out about the 1940’s book is the cutest and most fascinating thing ever! And now I want more content like that! Please, Becky, tell memore about your passion for mid century design!
I have loved all your videos/diy’s , but this one has to be my fav. That book side table is 🔥great job Becky!!
Okay, that solve to make the book table interchangable is genius!!
Becky, you are a genius!
That book table is freakin' AWESOME!!! 💙💙💙💙
I don’t normally comment but I just felt this video on another level. I can feel Becky’s passion and inspiration through the screen! I felt like I was hanging out with her and the small clips of making coffee, having dinner, painting her nails just really made more relatable. Keep up the great work TSG team!
This episode was the coolest ! So genius to be able to remove the panels of plywood. Two pieces that i would love to have in my apartment :)
Becky on the couch with the microphone is my new vibe. This was an excellent video, so honest and the results were beautiful
Loved the book-review section of this vid! Made me think about school but in a nostalgic, good way. 🙃
This video is fiirreee!!! First, Becky talking out her plans and saying does this make sense.... YES and not only that but it’s beautifully logical! I am always so impressed by you and the whole team. 👏🏻🔥👏🏻

I wish the US would ban single use plastics 😩😢
This video is peak Becky. Beautiful design, humor, and smart solutions to DIY problems. She's back in rare form and I love it 💛
The filming style of this is my favourite one of yours yet! I love it

Girl... Not going to lie, everything int his entire video is a whole mood.

[ ETA: STILL I am floored over the industrial piercing through the table for future modifications. I saw that same table, LOVED IT, and was immediately like "That is a static piece, like an art installation. It is meant to be a time capsule in a way, which is very permanent, so that wouldn't work for me," since, like you said, books come in so many different shapes and sizes. I am L I V I N G, QUEEN
I LOVEEED this video Becky you really came up with a strong style with the years and it shows that it's you, you look confident it's super cool to see ! But you also give real good life advices like not staying stuck on a project but move to something else etc..
Also I loved that you shared more of your inspirations with the book it's very interesting I'd love to see more design/architecture content.
And to finish those two pieces looks STUNNING you're right the almond color looks wood like and really brings the parts of the shelf together and the no glue technique was genius and very sustainably interesting ! A big thank you for the quality content you're producing with the team lately I'm not commenting videos a lot but I wanted to tell you all of that 🤍
The way you centered your drawing footage over your poster is making me so happy
I love how creative Becky’s projects always turn out!! I’m obsessed with the book table, it looks so good and I kind of want one for my favorite cookbooks!
BECKY YOU'RE A GENIUSSSSSSSSS! I love how you solved the permanence issue - love it love it love it.
I loved that you said "we're geeking out together" rather than something like "bare with me geeking out" because it was so inclusive and encouraging others to geek out with their passions ☺️👍 plus I totally was geeking out with you, such a fascinating book!
Love love love the book side table. And the additional piercing was genius. Loving the sustainability factor!
Cool!!
Re: book table: why not remove part of the “negative” space of the inner wood panels to make it lighter?
Yes! It could even be cool to see the hollow bit from the side (especially if you vary the shape of the negative space removed. Optionally, to cover the removed bits add solid end pieces. Love this whole project!
Yess! Depending on how tall you want your plywood, you could even add a shelf and use the negative space under as storage!
I even see adding a coloured block of plexi glass as an insert, VERY cool idea you had
This video conception wise is great, but the delivery in both the filming, narration and editing is just beyond amazing. Fantastic work.
I think the finish on the shelving unit looks a little rough. Could use a cane strip to finish the edges of the cane webbing you added. The book side table looks amazing though 👏🏼
i was thinking just a long strip of bamboo/cane strip wrapped around the entire thing and maybe near the new legs would be good too!
I think the cane should have been attached from inside. That's what the inspo picture had. Then it wouldn't have looked unfinished.
OMG BECKYYY , BOTH OF THEM LOOKS AMAZINGG,LOVE THEM. It is really good that you find a way to make the side table nonpermanent and without damaging the books.
I like the relaxed vlog style vibe of this video!
the little circle editing job on the bauhaus poster is absolutely fantastic
I love the book table! The glass on top is a good idea
Becky is the ultimate DIY queen. I loved this style of video where you take us thru the entire thought process and that you let the diy sort of run it. I picked black in the poll but I definitely think the beige paint color you chose is perfect!
Becky, I reverse image searched and believe the original artist to be San Francisco-based furniture maker Jane Dandy. I think she used to have an etsy page but I couldn't find it. But that image is credited to her on various sites, hopefully you guys see this and post a credited update!
thank you!! we've updated the description!!
How does no one on their huge staff know how to reverse image search?? Yikes
Designer is Lisa Finster.
I just had to comment to say I don’t know WHAT it is about this episode but I absolutely LOVED it! I literally kept thinking, wow this is such a good episode, the entire time! Becky’s a genius and I loved the little shots of her sitting around mulling over ideas; this video felt so personal. Pleaseeee keep more like these coming!
Always clicking so fast, I love you guys! I often replay your videos in the background so we can do activities tgt!
becky shows the real point of making it yourself, you could twist and tweak the furniture to fit your lifestyle. Great work becky!!
That book table is incredible. And I'm so glad you went with a lighter colour on the shelf (I literally yelled NOOO when you discussed painting it black), I think it turned out really great!
Dsss7
Becky, you look really happy and together. Like someone who really does water her plants regularly and lives the life she has on Instagram. Goals. I wish I could have a Danny.
These have been my favorite dyi y’all have done!!!! I was going to rec glass top but you got it already! Beautiful 🤩 🥰😍
Both projects turned out great!
That FLW book was written by a neighbor of mine. I got one for my Dad as a gift, he was a big FLW fan, personalized autographed. My Dad loved it.
all the girls should do hair tutorials! each of you have such beautiful hair 😍
Best 28 odd minutes! After an overwhelming day ( ...month, year!) I finally got to sit down and watch this!
-it was so good for my soul
Xxx
Fantastic results! I love that you found a paint colour that blended so well with the cane. My only recommendation for that piece is to add some cane cording along the cut edges so they're not quite so messy. But otherwise, you nailed it! Super cute result! Also, that book table is amazeballs! Can't wait to see the update when you seal it and add the glass. And I LOVE your solution to holding all the sheets of plywood together - genius! You can definitely add more favourites in the future!
As a side note: I totally want to find a copy of Tomorrow's House now. Thanks for sharing that with us - it is a super cool "relic"!
cane cording is a great idea!!
will defs post an update on IG when its sealing and the glass is added so stay tuned!!
p.s you need to find a copy of it its amazing
Becky’s DIYS are always out of the box and innovative and always turn out great! I’m in such a fan!
These DIYs were amazing!!! Love hearing your thought process. This is definitely motivation for me to tackle my dream DIY projects.
ALSO side note: what is the greenish chair/lounger you’re sitting in beside the bauhaus poster?? I need one!!!
Yes I need that chair!
If you watch the "completely redoing my walk in closet" video, you'll see Becky geek out 😊 over that "Togo style" lounger & where she sourced it from.
@@caz9542 omg thank you!!!! I missed that video
I know we shouldn't pick favorites when it comes to the Sorry girls, but I love Becky. Her vibe, style and just the way she works through something makes me so happy. While I soooooo wanted to see that shelf in black, I think it looks nice and that book stand/side table really is such an amazing piece.
Becky I’m obsessed with this table. Kind want to do this with a mix of records and books that inspire me ❤️ *Also 100% making this for my in-laws. Their wedding song was light my fire 🔥 so there will definitely be a doors album featured!!
Beckyyyy!!! The rods in the book table was such a genius thought!!!
I also dive obsessively into my Pinterest feed from time to time 👌
its impossible not to
Thank you so much for not damaging the books! Love the idea of adding more books in the future. The glass top is also a stroke of genius! What a brilliant recreation with a twist!
More and more of this content! I ❤️ The easy relaxed vibe of this whole video. Becky and Kelsey, keep it up! 🤗
