Wow super awesome job. I really like how you added wood to the shelves to give it a higher end look and the piece you added to the top. It did two things it filled the space that had a gap and now stuff won’t fall off behind the top. Also it looks great🥰
love the desk top... i think i will use this for my new desk, but ill use 2 wood filing cabinets with pull out drawers for the base. great video thanks for sharing!
Looks great. The back plinth makes it look very professional and everything will stay on the desk instead of possibly falling down the back. 10 out of 10. Lol
Thanks for the high score, lol! The plank was an afterthought that actually made the whole piece come together. Funny how those things happen. Thanks so much again!
You are so creative I love all you DIYs they are kind of complicated but my husband can do it he has all the tools, thank you for sharing your channel deserves more subscribers!
Thank you so much! It does take some tools to build, but it's not too too bad. It was a great couple project for us - maybe something for you two to work on together :) Thanks for the sweet comment
Loving the desk. The process is too much for old lady like me. I will use same concept but with bookcases and pre built shelves. Thanks for the inspiration.!!!!!! :)
Thank you! Me and hubby had fun making it together. Lucky for me he just rolls with my ideas, lol! You can adjust the size to work for your space. That's what I love so much about custom builds like this.
This is one of my FAV DIYS ever!! My hubby and I spent Saturday binge watching your shows!!! We learned so much and we're so inspired!!! We look forward to trying some of your inspired DIYs on our channel and adding them to our home! Our oldest is moving and we want to create some beautiful handmade things for her home! You are a great example of how to have a beautiful home on a budget use reclaimed wood! Thank you for sharing your creativity!!!
+Synolve Craft Oh my goodness!! That's amazing!! Thank you!! I'm sure your daughter will treasure each piece you create for her. I have a totally different attitude towards my creations vs store bought. Thank you for watching 💓
Just discovered your channel a week or so ago and have loved watching your videos. You and your hubby remind me of myself and mine. We love DIY projects and we have such similar styles. I LOVE this project and am thinking about it for my craft room! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you! I am glad my hubby doesn't mind joining me for some of the bigger projects. I think he gets a little jealous of me always using the power tools around here, lol!
Very well done! Only thing I might have done differently is maybe flip the metal shelf pieces upside down and made it so the wood actually fits inside. That would give a tiny bit more space between the selves for items.
Hey Shannon, just came across your channel about a week or so ago. And very quickly subscribed. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your style. I am so glad I found you. I have a Silhouette Cameo sitting in the other room that I have been too nervous to use but you have inspired me not to be intimidated and just start using it!! Thank you!! Hugs!! Carrie
YAYYYY!!!!! That's amazing! So glad you are giving it a try! Check out the Silhouette School blog. Lots of great helpful tutorials there if you are just getting started or have questions. Glad you found my channel and thanks for the sweet comment!
Thank you so much for making this! I'm thinking of making this with an 8' x 4' instead of a split 12' x 2'. Plan is to cut a foot off the width and use it as the back-raised edge.
Awesome! I don't need this... But I am going to make this only because it is one of the cutest things I have ever seen! Thank you, I love your channel. One last thing.. Where is that lamp from?? I need that in my life!!!!
Love all you diy's, amazing and professional. Would love to see a cost breakdown and the time spent making the item. Even without it, I will still watch. ;)
So excited to see this! It looks great, girl! I absolutely love that stain! I have an Ikea about 35 minutes from me and I keep meaning to go. Guess I really have an excuse now! :)
I hear ya! I went once when the DFW area finally got one and it was awesome...I just haven't gotten back out that way since then. I want some of those bag holder/vinyl holders and to redo my living room, so I definitely will be going. I think I saw that shipping was pretty high if you order online? It would definitely be worth it to make the trip out there. :)
We didn't get an IKEA till a couple of years ago. I had been really missing out before that. Shipping is CRAZY expensive. If you live close, definitely worth the drive. I have those bag holders for vinyl too. Works great! I tried to talk hubby into the white Ektorp (sp?) couches... but with two kids he was right to be worried about that purchase. Glad we went with the dark brown leather instead. Makes my life easier that way.
This looks awesome. Good job!!! I would seriously pay for a desk like that. Or for the pieces to be sent so I could make that exact one hahaha... I have the skill but I don't have the resources or any help xD
wow..I currently need something like that rite..now my husband died 2013..lung cancer..Im single..miss that bob the builder type husband..Love..Respect.. and give him the cookies..anytime..anywhere. he wants it..cause wen its gone..its over!! didnt wanna get weird or anything..love your ikea hack..God Bless.
+Frances Haynes De vine Life Wishing I could give you a hug. Not sure how I'd make it without my hubby. However he is a very hard worker and firefighter so he's not around a lot. That's why I can do all of these projects now. I just learned to do things for myself because he isn't always there. I hope that inspires you to try some new things. If I can do it, anyone can.
The Daily DIYer Thanks so much for responding to me with hugs..felt it all the way here in nawlings😉. That which sincerly, comes from the heart, reaches the he heart!! Thank you... To immitate. your ikea hack..I took a long folding table..gonna recover the top with marble contact paper.. buy two of those plastic three draw on wheels from Walmart... gotta get something for that back thing you have on yours.. ta da...my daily diyer replica..that's the best I can so..😏.see u later God bless
New subscriber and love your videos. I found you as I was searching RUclips for my new desk. My husband and I built me a stand up desk using an antique door but I wanted a desk I could also sit down at. After seeing your video I have purchased everything and we will be tackling it this weekend. I did have a question on the shelving spacing. Do you remember the measurements?
Hello Shannon just wanted to let you know that you are so blessed with such creativity. Like you I love working with wood and crafts. I’m curious about one thing though about your printer. Have you ever used the cameo? If so which is the simpler of the two? Love all your videos. So much I will confess I have watched them all and more so I’m a repeater. I love watching them more than once. Take care God bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing your time and talents with us copycaters,well at least me,(being the copycat)
Aw! Love hearing that you are so inspired by my channel! Warms my heart! "Copycat" away, lol! I have a Silhouette Cameo 3. The Silhouette program (Silhouette Studio) is the same for all the Silhouette Machines. The difference in machines is the sizes that they cut. So the Cameos (all generations) cut 12" wide where the Portrait cuts 9" wide. The Cameos are a little different just in that the newer one has a touch screen and attachments you can get for it, plus an auto blade (which is NOT worth all the hype). I hope that helps clear some of it up. I hope to do a video on this soon. Thanks for watching!!
love love love!!!!! where did you purchase the metal shelving? maybe you said it already in the video and I just didn't hear. I'm sorry if that's the case
+Monique Hernandez No you can use wood glue though! It's been fine without it though 👌🏻 You could use a solid piece of wood for the top but much more $$$
What size of drill bit did you use to make the new holes for the shelving? Also, did you need a special kind of bit since it needed to go through metal?
Kudos to you for taking this and making it your own. I love that you had a vision and were able to bring it to life!! Great job!
Wow super awesome job. I really like how you added wood to the shelves to give it a higher end look and the piece you added to the top. It did two things it filled the space that had a gap and now stuff won’t fall off behind the top. Also it looks great🥰
love the desk top... i think i will use this for my new desk, but ill use 2 wood filing cabinets with pull out drawers for the base. great video thanks for sharing!
I can’t believe how gorgeous this came out!!! I wish I had carpenter skills. it would save me tons on money
Showed my daughter this video and we replicated the desk here at home. Thanks for sharing this!!!
Looks great. The back plinth makes it look very professional and everything will stay on the desk instead of possibly falling down the back. 10 out of 10. Lol

It's always so fun to hear IKEA product names pronounced in different languages for a Swede. XD
Hyllis literally means 'Shelfie' by the way.
Much nicer than the inspiration desk. I like the back you put on and will add it to mine made from crates.
Loving the desk. The process is too much for old lady like me. I will use same concept but with bookcases and pre built shelves. Thanks for the inspiration.!!!!!! :)
Oh my goodness! I absolutely love this DIY! You & your husband did such an amazing job! I want to do this for my workspace.
Thank you! Me and hubby had fun making it together. Lucky for me he just rolls with my ideas, lol! You can adjust the size to work for your space. That's what I love so much about custom builds like this.
Great touch adding the back stop.
Turned out awesome! I really like the 2x6 turned upright on the back. Gives it a very nice finished look! Tfs

How could anyone thumbs down this video?! She took inspiration from a $300 desk and made it for super cheap.
+Donnie P. THANK. YOU. 🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just discovered your channel a week or so ago and have loved watching your videos. You and your hubby remind me of myself and mine. We love DIY projects and we have such similar styles. I LOVE this project and am thinking about it for my craft room! Keep up the amazing work!
I almost forgot to ask! Where did you get the galvanized perpetual calendar? I love it!
Thank you! I am glad my hubby doesn't mind joining me for some of the bigger projects. I think he gets a little jealous of me always using the power tools around here, lol!
My mom actually find the calendar at Dollar General and picked it up for us. Isn't that crazy??
Thanks for letting me know....I went to my DG after work yesterday and they had one left! Have a great weekend!
That was a smart solution for the gap, you work great together, cool result
+Haxy Quinn Thanks!! ❤️
Shannon, I think that desk is so cute!! Great job from you and hubby!
Wow. I actually thought the inspirational piece was really ugly, but the one you made looks super nice!!
What a beautiful desk 💖💖💖. I loved seeing you and Hubby working together! You guys look so cute 😊😊
Awe! THANK YOU! We enjoy being able to create things together. It's sort of become our hobby.
Very well done! Only thing I might have done differently is maybe flip the metal shelf pieces upside down and made it so the wood actually fits inside. That would give a tiny bit more space between the selves for items.
+ChibiChula That's a GREAT idea!!! 🙌🏻❤️
Beautiful! I wish I had that skill with tools!
Thank you! It took me awhile to get used to working with tools, but once you start you get hooked!
WOW!!!! I'M SPEECHLESS . YOU MAKE IT SEEM SOOOO EASY! (WHICH I KNOW IT'S NOT) IT LOOKS TOP NOTCH AND EXPENSIVE!!!!!!☺
+Rosamaria Mendoza Wow!! Thank you so much!!! It helped to have hubby's help for sure :)
wow! looks very premium and probably a lot more durable than a store bought desk that needs to be assembled anyways xD
That's wonderful! It looks like such an expensive piece of furniture, too! 👍❤️
+Paula Unger ❤️❤️❤️
that is amazing and you saved yourself lots of money plus this looks better than your inspiration desk so cool
Thank you so much! I love that you can create something custom and save money at the same time.
Love how this turned out! Thanks for sharing how y’all built it. Great job.
Thank you!
LOVE your work...another beautiful creation...can't wait to see what's next!!! TY , for sharing
Thanks you!

He's gorgeous! Great job my friend. Another amazing project under your belt. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
Thank you!!!! Much appreciated!
Awesome job I would love to see you build a leaning desk for small spaces one day.
Awesome! I don't need this... But I am going to make this only because it is one of the cutest things I have ever seen! Thank you, I love your channel. One last thing.. Where is that lamp from?? I need that in my life!!!!
love your version of the desk way more💖great job . I'm so impressed.
Thank you! Sometimes I'm just not so sure till my ideas are in the works. Luckily it turned out in the end, lol!
This is great! I need to make a desk for my kids!
Love all you diy's, amazing and professional. Would love to see a cost breakdown and the time spent making the item. Even without it, I will still watch. ;)
FANTASTIC!!! Love it so much -very clever! 👍🏻👏🏻
Awe!! Thank you so much!!!!
Wow!! Turned out great!! You did an awesome job!! I think I might have to copy you! Thanks for the video!
Thank you! Yes, copy away :) Let me know if you have any questions if you do this build!
Love this style of desk amazing job👍🏽 and on a budget 😀
Thanks! Yes, I believe it was under $75 in supplies for this build. The inspiration was $300 - so a good amount of savings!
Fabulous job. Looks stunning. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice job on the desk. Very high end loo! Blessings from Wisconsin
Thank you!
Awesome job, Shannon! It looks nice!
Thank you!!!
Oh my goodness, love this idea.. I enjoy all I do, what a creative lady.. Would u happen to have the supply list ?
+Mona Kempton Thanks!!! You'll need: 2 Hyllis shelves, 1x12', 2x12x10, 2x6x8 (for materials). Hope that helps!
Love the desk. WOW!! I love all your projects
Thank you!
So excited to see this! It looks great, girl! I absolutely love that stain! I have an Ikea about 35 minutes from me and I keep meaning to go. Guess I really have an excuse now! :)
YES GO TO IKEA! I wish I could go every day, lol! Too many awesome things there. Ours is about 45 minutes away, so not bad.
I hear ya! I went once when the DFW area finally got one and it was awesome...I just haven't gotten back out that way since then. I want some of those bag holder/vinyl holders and to redo my living room, so I definitely will be going. I think I saw that shipping was pretty high if you order online?

GREAT idea!!! Glad you were able to get creative and make something just as awesome work for you! Blessings in return
Shannon once again you are amazing. I absolutely love this piece. Where did you find the baskets? I really like them.
Thank you! The baskets are from Walmart, can you believe that?? They are Better Home's and Gardens brand.
The basket drawers that fit the Hyllis are also from Ikea? Or is that why you drilled the legs to modify the shelving unit?
New subscriber and love your videos. I found you as I was searching RUclips for my new desk. My husband and I built me a stand up desk using an antique door but I wanted a desk I could also sit down at. After seeing your video I have purchased everything and we will be tackling it this weekend. I did have a question on the shelving spacing. Do you remember the measurements?
Awesome! From the bottom up: 2", 11", 22", 28" (ish - give or take a little) Best wishes with your project!!!!

love love love!!!!! where did you purchase the metal shelving? maybe you said it already in the video and I just didn't hear. I'm sorry if that's the case
Yes, I purchased them from IKEA. They are the HYLLIS shelves.
Thank you for helping
Bummer, our nearest ikea is 3 hours away. Maybe I could order online. I love your channel! :-)
I'm new to your channel. Very nice build. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful job!
beautiful piece! Love your style!
I love they way this desk turned out!! Do you have any problems with you're wheels scratching hard wood floors?
Would love some links please ? What color did you coat the desk I love that brownish
Came out awesome!
Thank you!!! Sitting at it now reading comment :) Loving it!
Beautiful work✨
Very nice work! :)
This is great! Thanks for sharing. Did you use wood glue to secure your 2×12 desktop? Could you have had the desktop cut in one piece?
+Monique Hernandez No you can use wood glue though! It's been fine without it though 👌🏻 You could use a solid piece of wood for the top but much more $$$
I love the DIY it's so rustique. it's got a character. Where did you get the metal shelf?
+Ms. Mary Thanks!! The shelves are from IKEA 😊
So beautiful! TFS
Thank you!
Might be a good idea to link the products you use.
Would you please provide the link and more details (e.g, size and what kid of wood) of the materials you used for the project?
Beautiful! Are the wire baskets with white fabric a DIY too?
+Elisa They are from Walmart 😄
What size of drill bit did you use to make the new holes for the shelving? Also, did you need a special kind of bit since it needed to go through metal?
