    Simple , clean effective. I love it. I need to redo my basement of 172qft ( 16.8m2) with a window under the deck( so almost no light) to make a studio appartement ( bedroom kitchen) fir my daughter. It is not simple to create. If you have any tips to get a better lighting and to organize the space so that it does not feel crowded and messy. Do you recommend a free app to make plan and vizualise the space with the furniture?

    He uses the IKEA storage unit to act as a leg and support the two tables from separating. If you know anything about how these tabletops are built, then you would know those mending plates, particularly used in the hollow middle part of the tables like so, are not going to work. So if you’re trying to avoid that inner-corner leg, the two mending plates are not the way to do it. A little deceiving if you ask me, but that’s the power of editing.

    • @reynardlowell
      @reynardlowell  2 года назад +6

      It really depends, a lot of the waiting time is for the shipment/production of furniture (many are not readily in stock), especially custom ones (like the curtains). Probably a good idea to reach out soon, as I'm currently working on multiple projects, so there's a bit of a queue. Plus, we can always start slow, and discuss initial ideas - then once the apartment is done/keys handed over, we can jump right away to finalizing everything.

      The legs are only $5 each so not really that costly, and using two provides more stability in that particular spot.
