    I really appreciate how you always give credit to other influencers. Sometimes I watch these TH-cam videos and the person acts as though they came up with everyone. I love you style, taste and advice and find myself coming to your channel when I have a design/decor dilenma.

    Girl, I have watched a LOT of your videos (and I love them!) but this one was the best one I’ve seen yet!
    I loved your kind edification of LoneFox and Kristen McGowan. It was classy as heck (I love them too!).
    I love to see people supporting people😊
    I also loved seeing more of your personality. I laughed out loud at least twice!
    I always appreciate how fast you talk because your videos are a reasonable amount of time to watch, but stopping occasionally to crack a joke was a delight!
    Thanks for sharing these great tips and being lovely 😊

    the ikea countertop desk hack is definitely a good one if you need a large desk. i have multiple computers and a set of speakers on my desk so i need a lot of space, and that’s what i did. i just put it on an adjustable standing desk frame i bought elsewhere and it fits perfectly, it’s completely stable, and i have enough space for everything i need! an equivalent sized standing desk would’ve normally cost around $600-700 but i got this one for less than $300 ($200 for the frame, $60 for the top)

  • @gaill.7340
    @gaill.7340 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I so want Lone Fox’s Billy hack - I think he should hook up with a manufacturer . . . or (so I could afford it) package the precut pieces in a DIY kit. I can add the bookcase!

  • @sunnygreenings4840
    @sunnygreenings4840 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I will definitely use your 1st hack--glass doors for books (which get so dusty otherwise). Love all these hacks.
    Also, so wonderful when you give credit to a fellow design person and watched Drew for the first time today.

  • @photoshopuser3237
    @photoshopuser3237 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Your DIY hacks and shortcuts are only superseded by your fun personality! Lone Fox speaks highly of you too by the way. The IKEA idea I liked today was the the double desk idea. I have just finished having new floors put in and now trying to move everything into neater less cluttered living. Challenge. I have checked out the butcher block counter top and it will work perfect in my photo studio. Thanks for the inspiration on this one!
    I love your vids and all the stuff you do KB! Been watching and learning from you for a long time. Thank you! I may be an old lady 78 but I’m still in the game!

  • @tobiastaraba9672

    I loved the Desk Hack, because Desks most often don´t fit the room. For my instance I need a really wide 2,5m Desk and your Malm Hack really made me think about making that a reality.

    • @BewareTheLilyOfTheValley
      @BewareTheLilyOfTheValley 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm now torn between this cheap hack that looks like it would satisfy my need for a longer desk, or continue with buying a nearly $1000 standing desk with plugs and cable management holes built into it (yes, I could probably DIY that, but I'mnot very handy and good with that sort of stuff). I might go with the Ikea hack if the stuff is available at the only one close to me (which is a state next to mine). If not...well, I highly doubt I'll be disappointed with the standing desk.

    @ninabeena83 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I absolutely love ikea furniture for its hackability- while I too love real wood for certain types of pieces, you really just can’t beat ikea value. And if you change your mind about the piece, re hack it or start over lol
    I definitely plan to further hack my kallax with this door idea, and now thinking maybe I’ll try the pool noodle idea on my (previously😅) chalk painted couch. The bouclé or maybe a nice velvet…. 🤔
    The curtain rod idea with canvases is sheer brilliance though! I could def see that on a super tall wall, maybe with a triple rod and then you could alternate which canvas is pulled down from day to day. I love it 😍

    You are very talented and creative. Your work speaks for itself and actually shows people you definitely know your profession, and are good at what you do. The main thing is that you enjoy it and it shows, and that does make people want to give you their business. I'd rather have someone who enjoys designing and coming up with creative ideas that I can see and make choices which are best for my personality, character and environment. Your shows are teaching, learning, very informative. You'd make a great teacher also. Why not write a course, a self home learning course and gather students, who can learn and benefit from your multi professionalism? Congratulations and much success!!
