  • I love a DIY project using things I already have! This home office needed some major help, and the IKEA Hemnes line is great because it is actually solid wood, unlike the Billy Bookcase. I know I may get comments about ways to do this better, and that's OK! I love to learn new skills. We all start somewhere in our DIY journey and we can build our skillset with each new project. Please let me know if you have any questions!

      You are so right! I may do that at some point. Our paper shredder is actually in front of it, so you don’t actually see it anyways.

    6:30 Much easier than hacking apart the baseboard would be to chop the legs off the dressers and then build a 2"x4" or 2"x6" pedestal/platform to sit the dresser on. A LOT less effort and it'll be hidden by your molding wrap.

    Clear vision, patience, and trust in your capabilities.. congratulations. For someone who is not a “professional woodworker”, your attention to fine-detailing and quality is the mark of a professional..
    Wonderful work. I wonder if a horizontal brace under the floating desktop might have worked well considering that you could not find a wire-free position to drill into the back wall.

    • @theinteriorlyfe2043
      @theinteriorlyfe2043  11 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks so much! It was one of those projects that took way longer than I thought it would. For the floating desk, I was able to get two brackets into studs and it holds the weight just fine. But you are right, a wood cleat would have worked also! I was over the trips to Home Depot though! 🙈

      It took me 4 years to get up the courage! I do not have a builders brain and it took me months of measuring and planning. I’m sure someone else could do it in an hour. I will admit, I cussed a lot, but I also learned a lot! You can do it!

    • @willowweedsYT
      @willowweedsYT 10 месяцев назад

      I don’t think the shelves are actually attached to the block, they’re standing on top and attached to the wall and then it looks like she glued the trim in place.

    • @theinteriorlyfe2043
      @theinteriorlyfe2043  10 месяцев назад +2

      Sorry for the delay! I own my own business and have been slammed with work for weeks, we went on vacation, and I came back with Covid. The bookshelves are sitting on top of the butcher block and not attached to it. The bookshelves have a top bracer bar that is difficult to see on video, but I screwed this part to the stud in the wall. I did trim out the base of the bookshelf where it sits on the butcher block for a more finished look.
