Rochelle is so encouraging, I love how when Rachael was getting upset about the measurement’s being “off”, she basically talked her into feeling like it was an intentional aesthetic choice. It looks beautiful! And your cats are precious. ❤️
Indeed, I do like turning mistakes into aesthetic choices. Although for anyone wondering, I think the gap was the result of not accounting for the extra length after ripping down the widest boards.
To make the ‘mess up’ look more intentional you can make the space larger and add a step there so it’s easier to get in and out of the bed. Also could be a good place to sit whilst dressing or putting on shoes!
This is the right solution. Even with the styling, it still stuck out to me. It’s such a shame. But adding in steps would be an amazing solve. And if the cats don’t use the steps, the bottom step could be a storage spot for your slippers
It might not be in the original design, but I would round the outside corners a little, because I for sure know I would hit my leg on those every time I needed to walk around the bed lol.
I’m really enjoying the series where you’re fixing up your apartment. I wanted to mention that you need to tell everyone how much we are enjoying watching you work outside in that new courtyard. It’s so smart to do cutting outside. There is cleanup, but at least there’s not dust all over everything in the studio.
The cats “helping” is so relatable. One of our kitties will chew anything plastic…how many times have I found an edge of a bag chewed!? At least a million😜. Excited to see the final result!
I am so absolutely happy that Rachel got herself a new rental unit - this means we'll get a whoooole series of make overs from her on the channel!!!!! Yay!!! 🎉
I have two small children and I'm not loving my platform bed too much at the moment. So I guess there are phases in life where you would go wrong...? But I really enjoyed it for many years, will do so in the future and it's okay right now.
10 out of 10 for inspiration, though I'd execute it a little differently. I really like the look but think being all around three sides impairs the function of the bed a bit (harder to get in and out, harder to make the bed). The great thing is that the way you showed step by step instructions would make it easy to modify. I can imagine the shelf unit in a wide open loft, just on the most exposed corner of the bed rather than all around, and letting the unit be taller and the bed be lower, if that makes sense.
Looks really useful! I imagine it's sturdy enough on the top to feel like a bench? I also like that if you're hanging out in bed you can just place your water/journal/laptop right next to you on the ledge. The color ended up amazing and I didn't even notice the gap at the end. I think for books/photoboxes this is particularly useful and stunning but I would personally avoid putting lamps, trinkets, and other knockable things which might fall when the bed experiences the ~rumbles~ lol 🤪
I love it!! Great job Rachel! I’m love the storage it brings to your room and how it lifts your bed up too! I bet the cats will have fun making one of those cubbies a snoozing spot
love love love!! really excited for rachael to have her own big scale makeover series!! since all the girls work collaboratively to create spaces together for others - it was so cool seeing kelsey and becky’s personal taste in their own homes now we get to see rachael take on the same challenge!!
Love love love this diy!!! I've wanted these shelves for a good while now and Rachel made them seem so approachable! I know it would require more redesign, but you could always frame the slats and then put the bed on heavy duty lift/hinges so you could more easily access the hidden storage as necessary. So excited for your apartment makeovers!!!
earlier this year i bought a platform storage bed with shelves underneath as a person who LOVES Stuff but has a small space and i just have to say.... this one is inspired and beautiful and makes me wish i'd thought to try to diy one myself. also ALWAYS love a little cameo from the ever reliable roch. and your kitty content is wonderful and makes me smile every single time they're on screen.... love them and love this!!
I love when DIY creators leave in their mistakes! It's useful to see where a project might go wrong before trying it for yourself and to think about those kinds of problems and how to avoid them in your own attempt.
The only negative during this video is that I didn't have any snacks. I will definitely be more prepared in the next video! Well done! Also, your cats are gorgeous!
I loved this episode! Rachel was stepping up with those skills! Also I think the gap kinda elevates the look, but I can't help myself from wondering how comfortable or not it is to get into bed, it seems difficult. Can't wait for the next episode!
I like that your design gives the bed storage to put your phone on top or something if you don’t have nightstands yet That’s a huge build. Good job! I tried to make my dog a bed and ran into it constantly not matching up with measurments. Keep up the great work!
Excited to see the makeovers in the new place. We have a lot of wood the color of Rachel’s ceiling and I’m looking forward to some inspiration on how to lean into the color and style.
Great job, Rachel. Shout out to Rochelle for her supporting role in the "Great Bed Makeover". But my favorite part of this video was the beanie toes. 😻🐾🌺😀
Loving this series already! Whatever direction you take videos, I will always be so impressed with the effort and creativity that you all put into your projects. Thank you for sharing your journeys with us!
This build turned out great! My only personal recommendation from having the lowest malm bed before would be to curve the corners, add bumpers, or something soft that flows over. Cause hitting that randomly hurts!
I love how it turned out but i must say it looks like way too big of a project for me even if i wanted to😂❤ I really love how you shoot your videos Rachel! The artistic shots of the cats and the rain, etc. and moments of reality and honesty really add to the video and make it feel more entertaining and inspiring than regular diy vids!!! 🥹can’t wait to see the bedroom makeover!!
This is such a cool project! I love how you turned a simple IKEA bed into a fab platform bed 🔧✨. Can't wait to see what other creative ideas you bring to the loft! By the way, the cats are the real stars in this series, lol! 🐾
My maximalist heart does NOT need to see this, imagine all the things I could stick in the shelves in a once unused space...can't wait for the full bedroom makeover!
Cool build! Can’t wait to see more from Rach’s Rental! Btw I love listening to your voice. It’s very soothing and your vibe is very cool and casual. 👍😊 Have a great week!
"Oh boy I hope this whole thing doesn't end up super crooked!!" -me literally anything I make something. Awesome video Rachael!! I'm making shelves just like this so this was super helpful!
The shelves turned out so good, these have been over my pinterest for ages too. But I have to admit that I was a bit confused when you first talked about a matress needing to breathe (it definitely does) only to follow that up with building shelves that totally enclose bed and not allow any air flow and also mentioning that you want to store more stuff under the bed.
I love it! If I were to do something like this I might actually leave a gap intentionally to make climbing in easier. Disagree with all the comments saying you should have just done one side though, I love how this makes it feel like a cozy little island/almost conversation pit vibe
It does look really nice! Happy that you're excited, as you should.:-) You're going to make this place look so cool it might be beyond recognition 😂 Noodle and Butter are adorable! Always happy to see the beautiful Banksy too! :-)
Rachel! I am definitely inspired. I bought the same IKEA years ago when it was 1/2 the cost. I had big plans to hack it somehow, and you gave me the confidence. Thank you!!!!
Oh wow this IKEA bed hack looks so much cooler than it did originally and I am curious how you have access to underneath it because you screwed that wood on those sides and you mentioned that you want to store things under the bed. Those shelves you built are so pretty and also making it higher is okay and so great that Rochelle helped you. I love seeing how happy your kitties are on the bed and around. You new rental apartment is so great looking. Thanks for sharing this great video. 🥰😂😺😻💜💜💜💝💕
So fun to watch your projects Rachael 😊 And looove all the Butter and Noodles content 😻😻 And to hear you trying to pronounce IKEA names is always fun for a Swedish person. 😁 You are doing good
Rachel's hair looked so pretty when she was assembling/pocket holing that! Also that stain picks up a really lovely golden color from the floor, nice choice.
The platform bed looks great, and I think Noodle is my new favorite cat name. Nice to see my cats aren't the only ones who chew on paper. I've ended up putting a blanket over my desk at night so my projects don't all end up with teeth marks.
Loved everything about this! It came out fantastic!!! I'm always amazed at you guys' woodworking skills, as someone who has none (because of no access to such equipment) 😂😅 It's super empowering..💪💕
Ughhhh I LOVE your vulnerability and honesty w the mistake you made.. like soooo actually what would actually happen to someone trying this.. I love the realness n that ur not afraid to admit defeat. ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Rochelle is so encouraging, I love how when Rachael was getting upset about the measurement’s being “off”, she basically talked her into feeling like it was an intentional aesthetic choice. It looks beautiful! And your cats are precious. ❤️
Right?! So supportive and constructive!
Roshy is our supportive queen 💖
❤ Rochelle so much! More Roshy content!!!!
Indeed, I do like turning mistakes into aesthetic choices.
Although for anyone wondering, I think the gap was the result of not accounting for the extra length after ripping down the widest boards.
I need a Rochelle! ... For when my projects don't go so well
To make the ‘mess up’ look more intentional you can make the space larger and add a step there so it’s easier to get in and out of the bed. Also could be a good place to sit whilst dressing or putting on shoes!
That is such a good idea! My other thought would be to just cut and stain small pieces to fill the gaps. I love the idea of a step though!
this!
Genius
Great idea for steps! The kitties will use them!
This is the right solution. Even with the styling, it still stuck out to me. It’s such a shame. But adding in steps would be an amazing solve. And if the cats don’t use the steps, the bottom step could be a storage spot for your slippers
It might not be in the original design, but I would round the outside corners a little, because I for sure know I would hit my leg on those every time I needed to walk around the bed lol.
I came to say this. I would hurt myself so bad.
Had the same thought! I have a square acrylic coffee table with sharp corners - I can't even count the number of bruises I had on my shins.
I’m really enjoying the series where you’re fixing up your apartment. I wanted to mention that you need to tell everyone how much we are enjoying watching you work outside in that new courtyard.

I only click on the sorry girls when it’s Rachel or Kelsey. Id totally watch Rachel’s page if it was just her
@@LivingUpright
Why would you feel the need to say this and slight Becky and Rochelle?
Very rude and immature.
I am so absolutely happy that Rachel got herself a new rental unit - this means we'll get a whoooole series of make overs from her on the channel!!!!! Yay!!! 🎉
Obsessed with this bed! I love Rachel's style and can't wait to see the rest of her bedroom makeover! Definitely adding this project to my DIY list!
love to hear it 💖
love to watch Sorry Girl vids. Refreshing to see smart, capable and creative women demonstrate what they can do and to work together to do it.
Yes! 💯🤌🏻
This is so stunning. I feel like you can never go wrong with a platform bed
we love a platform bed!! 😍
I have two small children and I'm not loving my platform bed too much at the moment. So I guess there are phases in life where you would go wrong...? But I really enjoyed it for many years, will do so in the future and it's okay right now.

Rachel..gotta say. I love ur style of filming in this video. Especially the music and angles when u went to ikea to eat and shop. It was nicely done
I love it!! Great job Rachel! I’m love the storage it brings to your room and how it lifts your bed up too! I bet the cats will have fun making one of those cubbies a snoozing spot

Love all the "cat cameo's" they were 100% making sure you got their new platform bed right!
Fifty percent more toe beans, please. This is a GREAT start. 🐾
Thank you for all the sweet fluffy-cat-scenes, very much appreciate the effort 😊 And yes, the bed with the shelves is also very cool🎉
Love love love this diy!!! I've wanted these shelves for a good while now and Rachel made them seem so approachable!

The bed look great, great job. We all know Rochelle is crazy talented, but she genuinely seem like she has a heart of gold. Xx
Love it. Rachel, you look happy and healthy and excited for this new adventure. So glad for you and your Butter Noodle cats!
The only negative during this video is that I didn't have any snacks. I will definitely be more prepared in the next video! Well done! Also, your cats are gorgeous!
we love snacks !! 😍
😂😂😂
I loved this episode! Rachel was stepping up with those skills! Also I think the gap kinda elevates the look, but I can't help myself from wondering how comfortable or not it is to get into bed, it seems difficult. Can't wait for the next episode!
Yay 🙌! Well done hunni !!! Also I feel we all need a little R & R ( Rachel & Rochelle ). Loving the kitties they are so photogenic
I also have these type of shelves pinned on my pinterest and seeing them come together like this was so satisfying, incredible job!!
I'll definitely be trying this for my own bed frame because I have the same ikea bed!
yes!! love that ❤
I'm not even halfway through but my brain is already breaking with all the measuring and mental gymnastics you're having to do. I'M SO IMPRESSED
I like that your design gives the bed storage to put your phone on top or something if you don’t have nightstands yet
That’s a huge build. Good job! I tried to make my dog a bed and ran into it constantly not matching up with measurments. Keep up the great work!

I love love love this neat idea. Rachelle and Rochelle make a nice team. The kitties are so sweet. Enjoy your new apartment!
Rachael has such cool style!! I'm so excited to see the rest of her apartment makeover :) plus her outfits are always amazinggg
This build turned out great! My only personal recommendation from having the lowest malm bed before would be to curve the corners, add bumpers, or something soft that flows over. Cause hitting that randomly hurts!
True, I keep wincing and thinking about the sharp corners
I would absolutely hurt myself 😂
I love how it turned out but i must say it looks like way too big of a project for me even if i wanted to😂❤ I really love how you shoot your videos Rachel! The artistic shots of the cats and the rain, etc. and moments of reality and honesty really add to the video and make it feel more entertaining and inspiring than regular diy vids!!! 🥹can’t wait to see the bedroom makeover!!
I believe in youuuuuu!!! 💖 thank you for tuning in!!
The kitties are true stars. Turned out beautiful. Nice work!
Love the energy! You definitely rock for going with it after realizing your mistake! Love that you owned it!
Great job! I think it looks amazing and that gap actually really does look intentional :) I can't wait to see the full makeover!
This is such a cool project! I love how you turned a simple IKEA bed into a fab platform bed 🔧✨. Can't wait to see what other creative ideas you bring to the loft! By the way, the cats are the real stars in this series, lol! 🐾
I love this! It would be great as a wrap-around shelf for a sofa, too!! 😮 Excuse me while I start plotting my living room redesign…
My maximalist heart does NOT need to see this, imagine all the things I could stick in the shelves in a once unused space...can't wait for the full bedroom makeover!
This is a legit puzzle... Impressive!! 💖
So good!!! Love seeing the process- great job Rachael!
Being real with the sweat behind the mask. Loved it! You show all parts of the process including the sweat!
😮🧐😮 Wow, that is stunning. Butter and Noodle are too cute and they know it and they're doing it on purpose. Love everything about this video. ❤
7:55 was adorable hehe, love your energy Rachel!!
I love everything about this video. You’re so engaging to watch and the little fluffy cat tail was cinematic
The bed turned out so nice! I replayed the reveal because my eyes couldn’t get enough of it!
Okay but the way I needed this exact video!
the way I needed this exact comment 🥹💖
The platform bed hack looks amazing! I love your cats, they are beautiful!!🥰
I'm cheering you on, Rachel! Getting a new place is so exciting! Yours is beautiful! Those windows! Those cats! And I love your bed! ❤❤❤
Truly here for all the woodworking videos. A beautifully welcomed addition to the sorry girls content and creativity =]
You are truly amazing. I love, love, love your vision!
Ohhh! This shelf has been on my DIY to do list! I was hoping pine would work and … it looks incredible!!!
I love this series of Rachael! Can't wait veait for more!!
Cool build! Can’t wait to see more from Rach’s Rental! Btw I love listening to your voice. It’s very soothing and your vibe is very cool and casual. 👍😊 Have a great week!
I was thinking the same thing 😅 Rach, look into narrating audio books or something! You’ve got an ASMR-quality to your voice!
@@aimsly86 on it! 🫡
Love this new series and so excited to see the bedroom makeover next week. Also, THE CATS!! They are bringing the cozy vibe!
"Oh boy I hope this whole thing doesn't end up super crooked!!" -me literally anything I make something. Awesome video Rachael!! I'm making shelves just like this so this was super helpful!
Beautiful job, I'm obsessed! Also love the kitties, they are so sweet 🐈 😻

I absolutely love this! I’ve been wanting to do something similar but as just a wall shelf, kinda like the big one in your workshop. Great job!! ❤️
ouu love that!! thanks for tuning in 💖
I love it! If I were to do something like this I might actually leave a gap intentionally to make climbing in easier. Disagree with all the comments saying you should have just done one side though, I love how this makes it feel like a cozy little island/almost conversation pit vibe
Rachel, I just saw the adds for you. Can’t wait to see your apartment done!!!
that's a whole new meaning to making your bed! it looks incredible
I love the new series, Rachel is so sweet ❤
So cuuuuute!! Looks so cozy, i love platform beds! Great job!
I’m soooo excited to see what you’re going to do with the rental😍. It’s already an amazing place to live 😍
This is pretty amazing and really inspiring! I’m so excited to see the whole room come together.
It does look really nice! Happy that you're excited, as you should.:-) You're going to make this place look so cool it might be beyond recognition 😂 Noodle and Butter are adorable! Always happy to see the beautiful Banksy too! :-)
Love this series!! Love Gary!! So epic please do more about anything and everything!!
Loving this series!!! Can’t wait to watch more!
Great vid Rachael. IKEA is the Queen store for DIY Hacks. Thanks.🧡🧡🧡
Rachel! I am definitely inspired. I bought the same IKEA years ago when it was 1/2 the cost. I had big plans to hack it somehow, and you gave me the confidence. Thank you!!!!
yay!! Cats in the sorry girl family! Love Butter and Noodle! Great DIY Rachael!
Ooeeeeh…. Was waiting for this one as inspiration! ❤ new home, here we come!
Oh wow this IKEA bed hack looks so much cooler than it did originally and I am curious how you have access to underneath it because you screwed that wood on those sides and you mentioned that you want to store things under the bed.

You new rental apartment is so great looking. Thanks for sharing this great video. 🥰😂😺😻💜💜💜💝💕
I love this video. Also, the gap in the shelves might come in handy if the wood decides to warp with the seasons. Great job!
So fun to watch your projects Rachael 😊 And looove all the Butter and Noodles content 😻😻 And to hear you trying to pronounce IKEA names is always fun for a Swedish person. 😁 You are doing good
Rachel's hair looked so pretty when she was assembling/pocket holing that! Also that stain picks up a really lovely golden color from the floor, nice choice.
I am here for the cat assistant ❤
Such a fun series with so much to look forward to!
SO COZY!!! I LOVE IT!! Excited for the bedroom makeover:)
You are AWESOME! I’m SO GLAD you joined the Sorry Girls because you’re so fun to watch and such a sweet person ♥️
Looks so good!! Excited to see your new home evolve
🥰
I can’t wait for the full makeover! What a statement!
cant wait to show you 🥰
The platform bed looks great, and I think Noodle is my new favorite cat name. Nice to see my cats aren't the only ones who chew on paper. I've ended up putting a blanket over my desk at night so my projects don't all end up with teeth marks.
The bed looks amaaaazing!!! 🔥🔥🔥🫶🫶🫶
It looks amazing! Well done Rachel!
All these kittens footage are giving life! 😍
Loved everything about this! It came out fantastic!!! I'm always amazed at you guys' woodworking skills, as someone who has none (because of no access to such equipment) 😂😅 It's super empowering..💪💕
Love the shelves :) I’d need a step stool to get in actually 😂
Ughhhh I LOVE your vulnerability and honesty w the mistake you made.. like soooo actually what would actually happen to someone trying this.. I love the realness n that ur not afraid to admit defeat. ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Great project! I can’t wait to see the full makeover.
I'm in love with your cats, the bed came out great :)
Love your DIYs, Rachel.
Obsessed and so excited for this series. I’m in luck with my two cats, one of them bites cardboard and paper, the other loves plastic. 😂🤷🏼♀️
😂💞
Butter and Noodle! 😍 The build is great, too
I haven’t see the video yet but I already know I’m gonna love it so I already gave it a tumbs up 😅 Anyone else?
Rachel, your skills are skilling! Great work, beautiful outcome❤❤❤
Rach, you could use the unexpected space between the pieces as a way for the cat's to get under the bed. You could cut out a bigger opening for them.
Thats a great idea
Omg noooo it would be so hard to clean! You wouldn't want your cats getting under there and hacking up a hairball or something
