    Ikea is a great resource for staple items like the Billy bookcase that can be upcycled into any type of storage solution you need! I use it to house my shoe collection. What’s your favorite Ikea piece and how do you use it?

    Fun list! And I really appreciate your research & work on pronouncing the product names in Swedish. I have no knowledge of the language, but I get so irritated with other UA-camrs laughing & giggling at words they can’t pronounce. You’re being respectful & professional by educating yourself & by not mocking another language. And it sounded good to me!

    I have had the BILLY bookshelves in my home for about 15 yrs. One with doors. One without. I have a matching entertainment center in between and get compliments on the set up often. I want to do a built-in and will probably recycle my BILLY's. I am planning to update my foyer and hallway and the shoe console maybe the perfect piece of furniture. Right now I have a flimsy shoe/umbrella rack. This video is right on time. I plan to visit some of my local consignment shops but a few IKEA pieces won't hurt.

    We have 3 BILLY 🤣🤣 well when I met my husband he came with his BILLY' s 🤣🤣🤣
    He had them as just one massive piece unit for books but when we got our home I disassemble them and put in different rooms (Kitchen, sitting room and bedroom)
    I love the vases as well but I have so many I cannot find a place to put more plants and vases.
    The stillhet and the lamp are already on my list for my next shopping trip.
    I have the jute rug, I just love jute I think because my style a bit Boho and my husband style is industrial, I am trying to combine them, using a lot of your videos for inspiration

    IKEA is a bit internal DIY so you are allowed to pronounce the Word as you want and sound good for you, but one thing that make word sound more Swedish is if you pitch up at the end of the vocalization, like the Swedish Chef in the Muppet Show.

    How do I hang plants in front of the window if I have sheer drapes? Do I have to drill holes in the ceiling...not really wanting to do that. Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm definitively getting the vase. It looks like a unicorn left its toy for me.
    Please teach us about hanging crystals. Is it feng shui or taoism?

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  Рік тому

      If you don’t want to drill holes in the ceiling, you can use command strips BUT the plants have to be very light or the tape won’t support it. Filling holes is super easy to do if you’re returning a rental unit! Check the DIY highlight on my IG for more tips on how to do this ☺️👍
