@@autumn5852 I don't own any of those tools, for starters. I'm a terrible DIYer and will most likely damage some of the pieces or throw one off the balcony when I get irritated. Finally, clearly, you have not discovered the wonders of FB marketplace or OfferUp (may not be available where you live). I have purchased some of the most beautiful furniture, appliances, and household goods at a mere fraction of the original cost, therefore, I could find something suitable for under $300. Last month, I procured a genuine leather sectional, a new wood 6-seating dining room table with all the chairs, a new flat top stove, and a new queen mattress with a wooden frame for the whopping total of $1,150. What I lack in DIY skills, I make up for in bargain hunting. 😀
can I tell you? I am probably old enough to be your grandma and really, your channel makes me feel useless and totally unimaginative. LOL Oh, my kingdom for a dremel set. Love the ingenuity!
Gorgeous!! Turning IKEA into something so unique, and also just YOURS since you do so much work. I am in awe! (And a bit in love with that bar cabinet. I wish I had your skills and could imitate it! ❤)
Although i absolutely love the the pieces, they are definitely NOT hacks! No, no, no, no, no According to Webster, this is the definition of “hack”: c : a clever tip or technique for doing or improving something. Example: We asked entrepreneurs across industries to share their favorite productivity hacks, from useful organization apps to clever tricks for cutting down meeting times. -Richard Feloni So, a hack is more of a clever tip… a clever tip… What I see on these videos is what I consider full-blown carpentry that requires certain skills as a prerequisite! Most of us don’t have the skills nor the carpentry tools to build those ensembles! But i do think the projects are beautifully crafted!!! For anyone who does have those skills and tools and space, go for it!!!!!
Aren’t those gorgeous?? They’re from Pepe and Carols, they have the most beautiful hardware! They aren’t the cheapest, so I have only used them in spots I don’t need very many… they really elevate it though!
I looked into this! The cost of white oak plywood is so high, buying the nightstands saved me some money and the time I’d need to spend figuring out drawers😬
Hi, what is the name of the instrument that you used at 1:25 mins? I love your IKEA sofa table hack. In this economy, it's impossible to afford anything so I'm trying to learn how to DIY things.
Well i think she mentioned in the video it cost her $900 vs $3000(right?) so for her it is totally worth it! Of course, for me it wouldn’t be worth it because I would have to buy all the tools needed, maybe take some carpentry classes, A LOT of trial and error, etc… But maybe that’s the way everyone starts off… on anything…. I guess it comes down to how passionate you are about, in this case, the fusion of carpentry and creativity. When anyone is driven, it’s even enjoyable to acquire any prerequisite skills needed!!!!
@@marlena4020yes! I agree with this!! If I’ve learned anything, it’s that most diy stuff is a ton of hard work. I always look at cost and time spent vs cost of hiring it out or buying new!
The amount of money you spent on the five pieces, plus the time and tools to create it, honestly I’d rather just buy one. It does look amazing but you could have saved a lot of effort
She's has a talent and ability and I could never do this so hats off and BTW what she created looks so bespoke and highend you would spend way more to buy.
If it's a reading nook, just leave it as a reading nook. That enormous dry erase board turned it into something else. I thgt it was cool without it. You gotta incentivise kids to do stuff. "If you read 2 books this week you get all of your shoes back!" That way your kids can stop wearing the one pair of church shoes you left available for them to wear to school. 😂 😂 😂
At the first glance, you can notice this is Ikea. Better go to a carpenter and have local/handmade furniture. I am so glad, nothing is from Ikea in my home.
You turned them in 3 gems!!! Bravo! What a magnificent job!
👏👏😉😉🥂
I appreciate that so much! Thank you!!
My husband, the carpenter said “she’s super handy”. Best compliment from him!
In other words, u bought a base and finished off the furniture yourself. My skills are not Finish Carpenter worthy.
You’re right, these do require some woodworking! I was excited because drawers are so intimidating to me, I was happy to skip that part haha
I agree....it looks ice but knowing me I would just let them stand next to each other and call it good enough😂
@@donnaanglin7891WORD!
Very cool, but I'm never going to do all that work for a table. I'm just going to buy one that ready to go. 😆
I don’t blame you one bit!😂
If you can afford to extra £2000 + then I would too 👍🏽

Seems like a lot of time, effort and money, but to me it's art! Nice projects and really good skills to have :)
Beautiful project, you are lucky because you have all the carpenters needed . Good job

Brilliant! Actual hacks. Great job.

❤❤❤ Wow! Well done! 🎉
Thank you so much!!❤
I had to subscribe to your channel. This was so good & I’m always looking for ways to flip my furniture like this 😊
This is the biggest compliment! Thank you!! I’m so grateful you’re here!
Super cool that your kids get to watch you do this work.
I love the cushion color
Beautiful! All 3 were amazing 😻
I appreciate that so much! Thank you!!
Your work is smart ... putting them pieces together...love it🎉
My lazy ass could never, but I highly admire you for doing all that!! Looks beautiful
Mine can be very lazy at times too hahaha... Thank you so much!!

This is such a nice compliment! Thank you!!
@@champagnechaos you are very welcome. You are amazing 👏
@@sheilagarrido8204 Thank you so much for being so kind and for being here! I hope you have a great Tuesday!
Great job!!! Love it all!!!
Thank you so much!!
Wow these are amazing!
Thank you so much!!
Amazing. I hope I can do things like this and this well when I buy my home.
Very nice job. Well done!
Do you have Links to the drawer pulls on the window seat ? It looks really nice.
Aren’t those gorgeous?? They’re from Pepe and Carols, they have the most beautiful hardware! They aren’t the cheapest, so I have only used them in spots I don’t need very many… they really elevate it though!
Awesome!! Love all 3 projects.
Thank you so much!!
Could have built it from scratch; may have been cheaper and easier.
I feel the same way
I looked into this! The cost of white oak plywood is so high, buying the nightstands saved me some money and the time I’d need to spend figuring out drawers😬
Tooo much work is being done ...would prefer buying a ready made table instead 😅
I don’t blame you at all!
WOW!!!!❤
Subscribed..!!!

Thank you so much! I totally feel you... That's a router that I'm using, with a straight-edge guide!
Ridiculous amount of work 😳
I agree with you

@@sparklingdreams6344 you’re right, but I have neither the knowledge nor energy to do such a job so I would just buy the thing
Love 💜 it
It would be CHEAPER to BUY A FURNITURE ALREADY made 😂😂 Time is money, darlings and all the extra stuff used it’s money as well.
Yes, they look exactly like IKEA 😂
Loved this thank you
Thank you so much!!
Wow that is amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I appreciate that so much! Thank you!!
Would you share where you bought the light fixture for the reading nook please?
Of course! That light is from Amazon and is actually a hard wired one, I just didn’t use the wiring, just a battery bulb!
Beautiful
Thank you so much!
You are amazng!
You just made my day, I hope you have a great one also! Thank you!
👏 Bravo. It’s too much work
Great job
Thank you so much!
Nice
Thank you!!
Anyone know what walnut stain she used on the pole wrap? It’s beautiful!! 😍😍
Thank you!! It’s dark walnut oil based stain, and I used a prestain wood conditioner over it first!
@@champagnechaos thank you for replying. I came across your channel at 3am this morning and subscribed. Lol great content!
Yeah, well, not everyone is a carpenter.

The the nook
Hay que comprar un taller de muebleria para armarlos😢
Шпон приклеенный утюгом очень быстро потеряет вид. Не проще из дерева сразу сделать? Минуя Икею и сомнительную идею с бумажкой под дерево?
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

There are no man around anymore🎉
In nearly every Video. Did you realized that?
Maybe if you read more, your kids will too.
I love reading!
Lame.
