    My parents once added legs to an Ikea unit and over time it sagged in the middle since it wasn't designed to be elevated. I think this will work because you added the wood base with the legs. So if anyone tries this, make sure you reinforce the bottom, don't just slap on a pair of legs.

    I love how the channel has been incorporating foundational diy knowledge and intros to tools. Also love how Rachel makes it a point to comment on safety practices. I’d like to recommend she avoid wearing rings and bracelets while using power tools. I know it’s lower risk than stuff like wearing safety glasses and maintaining tools correctly but injuries from clothes and jewelry getting caught on materials and tools do happen and are so avoidable. Please keep yourself safe!!! It sets a great example for novices, too.

    There’s nothing worse than losing our precious little four-legged kids. They just bring in such a joy and comfort. Know we all love you. On a happier note your DIY’s were amazing. Linen cabinet and then the glass cabinet was beautiful to. You’re amazing you all are there. Thanks for sharing.

    Love it when there's 3 projects in one video. I was starting to get sad that it was about to end after the second diy, then here comes the 3rd! Yaaaay! Great job, Rachael. On a more serious note, I'm really sorry about Whisky. Pets are family members and they are missed just as much as a human loved one. I hope you take it easy and give yourself some time to mourn. My condolences.

    LITERALLY SOME OF THE SMARTEST IKEA HACKS OUT THERE!!! Fist off, I had no idea ikea sold those bamboo panels. Second the grass cloth hack was awesome! And then lastly the tongue and groove from home depot!! All those I had no idea was possible. I’m definitely gonna be busy this summer!

    The cabinet was such a good idea! Pro tip for the polycarbonate glass: remove the protective film after cutting it to size to avoid scratches. With a textured finish like this one scratches dont really show up that much, but they will be very noticeable on a flat, glossy finish

    @we-need-to-talk-about-it Рік тому +5

    Not sure about the legs for the Billy bookcase. They look disproportionate. And you can clearly see that the “glass” is actually plastic. But at least it’s realistic: most of my upcycles/hacks look like you can clearly tell they are upcycles. I liked the upcycled bucket though.

    I installed an IKEA kitchen 13 years ago with glass doors on the upper cabinets. I loved the pattern on the glass. Unfortunately, I lost my home to a fire two years ago. The glass in two of the cabinet doors survived intact and I’ve been storing them in the hopes of someday reusing the glass in another project since these particular glass doors are no longer available at IKEA. After watching you build the doors on the Billy hack, I’m one step closer to recreating the glass doors that I loved.

    Love the carbonate "glass" idea! Will consider it for my billy shoe cabinet DIY if the paint keeps peeling in the joints on our oxberg doors due to heat changes throughout the year (entyway without heater lol). :) Small advice from someone who did DIY greenhouse reno using this material - you can use transparent silicone to seal the material in order to prevent condensation or dust buildup inside the small tunnels. They do sell special tape for that purpose but at least in my country, they only carry it in weird colors that ruin the intended design and the silicone beads are really not notieceable unless you are looking for them specifically (in this case, the wooden lip might even conceal them completely).
