I feel like this would be really good in a bigger bedroom as a replacement for The-Chair-of-Clothes-That-Are-Kinda-Clean-Still because you could hang up/fold things so they don't get so creased without putting them in with your perfectly clean clothes
you prolly dont care at all but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can offer me!
@Abdiel Amir thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I was thinking the same thing! It's obv too small for an adult, but it'd be a perfect fit for kid's clothing. Plus, it's their size so they wouldn't feel intimidated by it :D
This is amazing because those shelves are perfect for records but I've always thought they were too modern looking for my tastes. This makes them give off those MCM vibes which I love!
Love that idea! I was actually looking for something cheap but nice and handy to store my records in. How would you make this less modern? Any ideas? :) :)
Wow! I love this! I have one of those shelfs but it's 4 squares tall and two wide. I think I might add doors to it so I can hide my stuff for a sneaky way to make my room look more put together.
Love the idea. Like you said it could come out to so much less to even free! I see these shelving units on Craigslist OFTEN and one can always check out Home Depot for free scrap wood. Mercari is a great place to look for hardware even the legs for really cheap. Great job ladies.
Great idea. One tip though: place a spacer between the doors before you drill the hinges in. Something about 1/16" - 1/8". This will ensure the doors are parallel, but also ensure the edges don't bump against each other when opening and closing them. You can see the door on the left move just a little when the door on the right is opened at 5:35. Great idea! I'm looking for ideas for Kallax doors.
I painted an old filing cabinet white with rose gold accents and am adding marble contact paper to the top. Super easy and looks really nice. You can go a long way with some marble contact paper.
LovelyLauren5 if your thinking of something with open storage you could make a square with three sides being wood and the top one a marble tile which don't end up being that expensive. So it would end up looking like this |__| with a marble top
This looks great! My only issue is that a standard (16 inch or larger width) hanger would not fit with clothing attached as I see that the shelf width is about 15-16 inches. Were smaller clothing hangers necessary for hanging the clothing?
i already have a cube unit like this that i was planning to move into my closet because i'm not super into the look of it anymore, but this idea may have saved it from exile. what an cool way to make a staple piece into something special
Camille I misread the original comment as the person saying that they were American. I don’t pay a lot of attention to if someone is saying something is in inches or centimeters because I grew up using both, so my brain mis-processed
Love love love the idea, it looks great, but when would you need such a small wardrobe? Genuinely wondering, because I'm so tempted to do this, but don't know what I would use it for. Feel like it's more practical to keep the four compartments and use it as "regular" storage.
They sell this same kind of cube storage shelf at the dollar store here in the US for like $30! I'm sure it's not made as nice but with some addictions it would work.
I like the mini closet you guys created and thanks for information about Ikea's as I am section. This can help me save some money during my redecoration process.
I just purchased some 3x3 cube storage from a different store and now i am seeing so many possibilities! I hate the limited space of the squares and prefer regular shelves because of that but now i realize i dont have to add all of the separations and can make shelves if i prefer! Thanks for the idea. I also love having doors because it helps keep everything much cleaner and dust free but that is a bit much for my skill level, although i have the tools. I am also going to add some small legs! So many great ideas from one video! Thanks for sharing!
You guys are THE BEST! I just discovered you and I am semi-depressed it took me this long! No worries, been catching up on all the videos the past week 😉 keep it up ladies!💕
omg this couldn't have come at a better time!!! I've been looking for a new storage system for my record collection and I couldn't find something cute, until this! THANKS, and much love xx
I feel like the Sorry Girls are my best friends and I just want to cheer them on. Look how talented they are. Look how cute they both look today. How perfect is Kelsey's blush and how effortless are Becky's curls. They make it so easy for us to follow by doing all the measuring for us so all we have to do is assemble. THANK YOU for this amazing FREE content. I'd watch a dairy sponsored vid any day as long as it came from these angels.
Is there a name for the type of hinge u use? I want to add doors to something very similar where they attach onto the front but idk what kind of hinge to buy!
Be careful with those LEGS: Kallax is cardboard filled, and not solid wood. The surface 'skin' won't put up with much stress, such as PUSHING this to SLIDE it across the floor could easily tear the legs loose. Additionally, given that same thin "skin", it's prone to easy damage when bumping. To easily solve both of these, buy a small sheet of 5/8" plywood as Home Depot, and cut it sized to 1/4" or so overhang on the Left and Right ends, and also in the Front (no overhang in the back is necessary!). Now paint the edges and outer 1/2" of the perimeter that will be exposed or so white to match, and glue and screw this to the bottom of your cabinet, and then attach the legs to this plywood. NOW you have a sturdy cabinet that will better hold the LEGS, and with the 1/4" overhang it will protect the easier to damage cardboard filled board that Kallax has... Your doors will also be subject to the same risks by the hinges being screwed into the hollow sides, so be very careful with them!
I am moving into a loft with 16 ft ceilings, brick and hardwoods, and 3 huge bay windows. You both are extremely talented and I would absolutely LOVE your help designing it! Do you have any interest? Possibly a business email?
Thank you thank you thank you This is the perfect video I was looking for. I’m going to convert my kallax in into a garbage recycle bin storage. You both have made my day
Please make a video to help me upcycle my MALM IKEA 4 tier drawer! I just shifted into a new home and feel like my drawers are a tad but boring and needs to be cooler looking to fit the design of my room! HELP ME PLSSSSS
I like the idea (and result), just one question: why did you remove the dowels (was that what you called them? I'm not a native English speaker) from the top? Doesn't look like they would've interfered with anything you did, it was extra work, and diminishes the stability I think.
i just realized there aren't many Ikea's.... There's only like 4 in texas and I'm lucky mine is 10 mins from me! Also everyone said shipping is crazy expensive but I guess since mine is in my city I saw it was $10 shipping
Do you guys have any recommendations on staining wood? I have a project I'm working on and it seems like so many people go about a staining process differently. (Ex. Some use a wood conditioner and finisher) I just don't want my project to come out looking splotchy and wonky.
Hey there, I am enjoying learning from you guys over here in Australia. This looks so awesome. I have a very average looking 6 cube, white melamine finish/ particleboard storage shelf. I am very keen to put doors on it to hide all the craft stuff in there. Would your awesome idea still work with the melamine/ particleboard materials? I suspect my shelves are a lot thicker than the Ikea one you worked on. I don't need to change the inside configuration, just add the front doors and back on. Thanks for any guidance!
I‘m trying to recreate this right now and I‘m stuck - what kind of hinges are you using? The regular ones I found at my local hardware store won’t work since the door isn’t placed at the very edge of the shelf. Help! 😩 Can I get similar ones from Amazon?
Love this idea!! I have the 2x8 cubicle kallax, do you think the dimensions for the doors would work for this longer piece--if I just attached a second set of doors?
You guys should do something similar with the 8 cube organizer! With black & walnut stain wood !! I have an old kallax cube I was thinking about selling but now I'm thinking about redoing it! Painting it black and adding wooden features but I'm not professional and have no idea where to start
Oh my god, this would be super cute for a baby's bedroom, with like the small clothes hanging and the small shoes. Kinda want to save this and make this when I get kids, LOL
It looks amazing!! It could be a baby closet!! Please make in the same design a babycommode (where you put on.clothes for the baby, I dont know the name in English) or a babybed
Hey guys, I want to recreate this myself and don't find this kind of door hinge in Germany. Does anyone know how this specific type of hinge is called? This would be so helpful!
I would be careful with the wood used for the doors and make every effort to minimize the weight. I have added shelves to several kallax systems using and when drilling for the shelf pins you will quickly discover the kallax does not have solid cores designed to hold much weight. I may be wrong but I could see a heavy solid wood door panel start sagging over time as the screw holes get some basic wear and tear. Granted the kallax they are using sells between $35-$40 so replacing it after a a year or isn’t exactly a big deal. But be aware that it has a waffle type inner structure not really designed to hold anything drilled into it.
Could you try to make a diy vanity? I've always wanted one but prices are always so high 😭😭 and could it have a lot of storage space and maybe makeup storage diys/hacks?
I thought I recognized part of this video in an upcycling video from another channel!! They aren't giving credit to you, though, but I put in a comment that that part belongs to this video. ruclips.net/video/x0Bk4CqyL1k/видео.html, at about minute 5:00 is the section (even they have Kelsey apppearing in it!)
So, I wanted to update my Ikea Kallax and thought, there must have been someone who did this already - and here you are. I have only one concerning question with you update. Since the update, has the legs stud up?
I know someone has probably already said this, but the original was called the Expedite; they changed it slightly to it's new design (which is pretty much the same).
Me: *looks to the left and sees that exact shelf*
AN NA IKR except mine is in my closet, it’s black, has fabric drawers, and is a freaking mess🤣 lol

Hi. Could you provide a link for the furniture feet? I can't seem to find ones that match yours.
You know it's an awesome diy when there's no glue gun in sight
I feel like this would be really good in a bigger bedroom as a replacement for The-Chair-of-Clothes-That-Are-Kinda-Clean-Still because you could hang up/fold things so they don't get so creased without putting them in with your perfectly clean clothes
omg yes
For real!!
That's a great idea.
Omg I need to do this, you're a genius 🙊
Ang_ C because I don't want to put them on top of my clean clothes
I'd 100% support a Sorry Girls furniture and home accessories line.
We'd 100% support that too :P
TheSorryGirls
I know this is a bit late, but PLEASE do that. It would be awesome...
This is such a smart idea! Thanks for the inspiration
you prolly dont care at all but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can offer me!

@Abdiel Amir thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.

@Abdiel Amir It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass !
@Ibrahim Watson Happy to help :)
It looks amazing! Very 70s/modern.
All it needs is those little magnets to keep the doors closed :) beautiful project!
I think that if you made it in more child like colours it would be perfect as a first wardrobe for our little ones :)
I was thinking the same thing! It's obv too small for an adult, but it'd be a perfect fit for kid's clothing. Plus, it's their size so they wouldn't feel intimidated by it :D
*chosen ones
@@therealsatan3334 🤣
So buy two of those and you have a full sized closet.
Or get one of the tall 2x4 cube shelf! I actually have one I'm getting rid of. Too bad I don't need another closet.
Jeanie C. Where do you live!? I'll take it if your in southern California
Great idea! ^^ Use a taller KALLAX to make a full closet!
Artistic Unicorn or just buy the 4×2 shelf
This is amazing because those shelves are perfect for records but I've always thought they were too modern looking for my tastes. This makes them give off those MCM vibes which I love!
Love that idea! I was actually looking for something cheap but nice and handy to store my records in. How would you make this less modern? Any ideas? :) :)
@@ChoOpiie with different legs and different handles
Some steel framework would make it look more vintage, and imo fits more to the taste of vinyl collectors.
This would be great for a child's bedroom so they can pick their own clothes!
VERY smart!
Pet costumes and toys!
Katelyn Kajewski Yes! Exactly what I was thinking 😂
I love that you guys added the total cost. It helps so much.
Thank you for this idea!! It's so great!

I always just use dimes or nickels
I really want a marble side table with gold legs, but I still need storage in it, can you think of a DIY that can help?
I painted an old filing cabinet white with rose gold accents and am adding marble contact paper to the top. Super easy and looks really nice. You can go a long way with some marble contact paper.
LovelyLauren5 if your thinking of something with open storage you could make a square with three sides being wood and the top one a marble tile which don't end up being that expensive. So it would end up looking like this |__| with a marble top

LovelyLauren5 Lack table, marble contact paper from walmart, gold paint. You're welcome.
Maybe you can make this cabinet but put fake marble on top :x
This looks great! My only issue is that a standard (16 inch or larger width) hanger would not fit with clothing attached as I see that the shelf width is about 15-16 inches. Were smaller clothing hangers necessary for hanging the clothing?

Becky's got that newlywed glow...unless you filmed this before...then it's a bridal glow 👰💃💃💃
mslisacecilia that doesn't exist
They both have tans real or fake I dont know.
I love binge watching your huge DIYs while I do stuff like fixing a button on a shirt and thinking its the same 😂
Great project **anxiously awaiting the wedding vlog on sorry life!**
i'm literally obsessed with your channel but i never do anything on it.. you guys are so entertaining but im just waaaay too lazy to do anything 😂😂
I WAS PATIENTLY WAITING FOR YOU TO UPLOAD I SWEAR.
Because of her wedding I guess? Me toooo😍😍😍
I wanted to make a mini wardrobe for my baby girl due soon, this would be perfect as her clothes wouldn't be too long for the hanging space :)
this would be perfect as a minimalist's wardrobe .
$120 and a crapload of work to store 6 shirts, a pair of shoes and 2 necklaces. Whats not to like? lmao
Can u please use different measurements like cm?? I want to build this but Im not american x‘D
You can use google to translate cm into inches. They’re Canadian, they’re not going to change units just for one RUclips commenter.
You can use a translator on Google
@@shutupsavannah2195 lol the majority of the world uses the metric system...
Camille I misread the original comment as the person saying that they were American. I don’t pay a lot of attention to if someone is saying something is in inches or centimeters because I grew up using both, so my brain mis-processed
This is so cute and simple to do yourself!! I am thinking it would be great for a front entryway to put your coats, umbrella, purse and such!!
Love love love the idea, it looks great, but when would you need such a small wardrobe? Genuinely wondering, because I'm so tempted to do this, but don't know what I would use it for. Feel like it's more practical to keep the four compartments and use it as "regular" storage.
vattendroppe I think it would be a really cute wardrobe for kids or pets :)
It could also be a good idea to have in a guest room since you usually dont bring too much when you are staying over with someone.
@thesorrygirls what size are your hinges? Do you recommend using a varnish to protect the furniture from scratches?
This would actually work great to hold vinyl since the shelves are just the right size. You just wouldn't get rid of the top shelf.
YOU KILLED THIS! Hell yeah.
Can you guys list the measurements in the description box?
Love this! Could you share where you got the legs from?
This would be perfect for my kids' play clothes! What a great idea 💕💕💕
Any links to the materials?
LOOOKSS THRIFTYYYY❤️❤️
Pleaaase do some decor for autumn.
#TSGautumnDIY
Where did the name Sorry Girls come from?
Chai Risma they're canadian hehehe
Chai Risma becuase it's a joke that Canadians always say Sorry.
Saying sorry is something they do a lot so when making a name they called themselves the sorry girls.
Chai Risma it's a Canadian thing
I know the real reason is because they're Canadian but I always interpreted it as like a "sorry we can DIY it!"
I was going to sell my ikea cubes but you have it life again
I wish the sorry girl and Mr Kate make a video together ;it would be A-MAZING
I have one of these shelves and I'm definitely going to try it. I use it for serving plates and it could use an upgrade.
GREAT idea; THANK YOU!!
I like the idea. Be good for entry way
They sell this same kind of cube storage shelf at the dollar store here in the US for like $30! I'm sure it's not made as nice but with some addictions it would work.
WHOA! I think this is my favorite upcycle ever!!!
This is so much cuter than the ikea version
I like the mini closet you guys created and thanks for information about Ikea's as I am section. This can help me save some money during my redecoration process.
Im literally sitting right next to one of those shelving units. Love this idea!!

10 years ago!
Wow!
Kitten Meets Hedgehog, sounds like moshpit punk
Congrats you guys!
This is probably my favorite project y'all have done! For sure giving me inspiration to redo my own kallax unit, yours came out so great. :)
I like the idea (and result), just one question: why did you remove the dowels (was that what you called them? I'm not a native English speaker) from the top? Doesn't look like they would've interfered with anything you did, it was extra work, and diminishes the stability I think.
i just realized there aren't many Ikea's.... There's only like 4 in texas and I'm lucky mine is 10 mins from me! Also everyone said shipping is crazy expensive but I guess since mine is in my city I saw it was $10 shipping
I love those metal closet hanging pieces but which Hardware store actually carries them ?
Do you guys have any recommendations on staining wood? I have a project I'm working on and it seems like so many people go about a staining process differently. (Ex. Some use a wood conditioner and finisher) I just don't want my project to come out looking splotchy and wonky.

I would be careful with the wood used for the doors and make every effort to minimize the weight. I have added shelves to several kallax systems using and when drilling for the shelf pins you will quickly discover the kallax does not have solid cores designed to hold much weight.
