I took lots of upholstery classes and upholstered a lot. Here is a trick I learned from Olie, my teacher, who was a professional upholster for 50 yrs. Take off the legs (or arms) if you can when upholstering. You will be able to pull the fabric and won't have the worry of y-cuts. So, in making your ottoman, you could have stapled on the fabric first, then added the screw on legs. Just a thought. I love your DIYs
I’ll be using that tidbit! Thanks
Me too!🙂
Thank you that’s a great tip! ❤
I’M DOING A BEAUTIFUL, BUT OLD & TATTY WOODEN FOOTSTOOL,
WHEN IT COMES TO UPHOLSTERING THE TOP, I’LL DEFINITELY KEEP THIS IN MIND.
THANK YOU.
The cat litter box is pure genius! So brilliant and beautiful!
There's do-it-yourself, and then there's *build-it-better-yourself* and I am here for it!
Yes! Thanks for being here 😄
I love your ideas! Living in an apartment I have employed many of your ideas of decor that look permanent but are not. Recently had a routine inspection and the landlord said, "Where did you get all these ideas, man I wish all my tenants employed these ideas!"
So, I gave her your TH-cam Channel!
I love the room divider, the cat scratch post legs on the table and, the private kitty privy! So clever! Thanks for sharing!
Of all the things you did, the one thing I liked best was that little tip about using a plastic cup to catch the dust when drilling a hole in the ceiling. I've done a lot of DIY over the years, and I can't believe I didn't come up with something like that to help cut down on cleanup time.
It's an old hack that I forgot about.
Вы серьезно? Даже я знала это давно😂😂😂
Love the room divider, the kitchen cart/island, and the cat litter box “house”, which, I think is my favorite.
The cat litter box is absolutely genius
Now these are some good hacks! Eyeshadow - clever!
And I love how they are all inexpensive, practical and look good. IKEA and dollar store pieces all affordable - thank you 🙏
Love the kitty litter hack and the double-sided picture frame… they were all great!
Your ideas are always amazing. You have the "silk purse out of a sows ear", idea down pat. Please keep up your ideas, they are always so helpful.
"The Best of Engineer Your Space!" These videos are a wealth of tips and creativity. You are one of the first DIY youtubers to really inspire me. More please...
Haha, I suppose this is a round up of some of my favorite projects I've done over the years. Thanks for being there for all of it 😄
Haven't seen a new video from you in ages so I really enjoyed this one. I think the dividing wall for your office is my favorite of these (including the hanging reversible picture frames).
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
I’ve never watched your channel before, and was very pleased to do so! You’re very handy, and definitely very creative!
So glad you found me and that you enjoy my projects 😊
I used to watch your videos faithfully, then you disappeared. I was scrolling the other day an ran across this one, hope you're back doing videos. You always had good content, easy instructions, practical & affordable projects. TY.
Loved the room divider
Isabel I love all of the hacks - I love the divider wall - so simple and clean looking, but very customizable! Have to love the litter box as Lea is so adorable. Thanks for using affordable items but making them look high end.
Thanks so much! 😊
Loved the eyeshadow to hide the line trick!
I love a wood table with blue chair, combination of colors lifted up my mood!
I’M SO GLAD YR CHANNEL POPPED UP ON MY FEED, I LOVE HOW CREATIVE YOU ARE &
THE VIDEOS YOU DO ARE THE BEST I’VE COME ACROSS. I’LL DEFINITELY BE A NEW SUBSCRIBER. ✌🏼😊 🇬🇧
They’re all so good. You’re very creative and have the skills to put your idea’s into practice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
I made a simplified version of your hidden litter box using the Vihals sideboard. I removed the right hand drawer for ventilation, the interior shelves and left most door. Then I made a large hole in the interior divider and covered the raw edges with foam window/garage door seal tape. It's not as sophisticated as yours, but was a lot easier for me to put together and lives in my closet where no one will see it. I'm grateful I had your video to inspire me!
Amazing, thank you for sharing! I love hearing how people reinvent my ideas for their space. 💕
Love this cat box idea!
So glad!
Great! You helped me solve an issue I had with a piece of art. Hanging it from a shelf made it! You're very good with ideas! Love it.
My favourite is the Dividing Wall Hack. It looks fantastic. You’re so clever!
I LOVE the kitty litter box! I too have a Cricut, so that part is a cinch! I think I will try to duplicate it to fit an area in my laundry room. I also like the look of the double sided picture frame. Those two look most do-able for me, but they are all great projects. Thank you!
Really clear measures and instructions ..... just brilliant!! Thanks
It’s good to see you are still here making awesome TH-cam videos! 😎
My favorite is the litter box. No more granules to step on! A small piece of artificial turf inside maybe good for getting the granules of their feet before they come out of the box! They’re all great ideas, thank you!
I was so glad to see your return!
I love the litter box idea the most. I love all
Every project is great! Easy to follow instructions. The cat litter box is fantastic!!!! I need that for my cat.👍❤️👍
Love all the creative ideas and the cat box 🐈 is adorable ☺️
Thank you 😊!
Thank you for the tips and hacks. They were all great, scant choose just one. Blessings good to see you!!
Dividing wall is genius!
It's good to see you back again.
Such clever ideas to customise Ikea items & bring back personality.❤
loved them all. liked the curtains and kitchen most of all .
ALL of these are wonderful! I need a room divider so I think I might do that one. But I also like all the others, so... Hmmm. When will I get started... Hmmmm. Thank you so much for sharing these with us! I have to go to your page now and look for more!
I really cannot pick a favorite hack here. All of your hacks and diy's are awesome!
Oh! I love the lamp hack. Currently, suffering the fluorescence lights in this rented apartment. The wall wiring is there, just waiting for the lamp/lantern idea to create the Boho look.
Love your cat litter idea!❤
How clever the diffusing idea.
All of these ideas are great
It's so good to see a video from you; hope you're doing well!
You are inspiring. I wish I had your series when I was young.
Brilliant hacks! My favourite is the incased cat litter box. 🐈
My favorite is the litter box project! I'm definitely trying this when I get a cat. :)
There are too many good ones to choose! Thxs!
I was so happy to see your post. This blue chairs really caught my eye, what a beautiful color.
I'm so glad!
Loved the litter box . So cute & practical. The double sided picture frame is such a great idea. I have not seen any of your videos for some time. Your ideas are always so great & doable. Thank you for sharing your talents.
You are so welcome!
So glad to see a post. I was just checking the other day and realize it been almost a year since you posted and I hoped all was well
As always a very well done video with lots of good ideas
Wow your finally back 😊thanks for sharing 😊
I love all your ideas but I love the island kitchen hack the most! Thank you for your sharing your creative inspiration. 😊
You are so welcome!
Hi, I love them all. Plus they gave me great ideas to do in my own home. Thank you.
The lamp project is so useful! Love your creativity!
Thank you! 😊
Oh my goodness! I learned so much. Your ottoman was way nicer than the one you copied. You are extremely creative and crafty. Subscribing!
Glad you’re back. Hope you’re still working on your tiny home, look forward to those vids….
the double sided picture frame hung there beautifully!
nice video. i love the cat liter box and side table.
Like and subscribed. I liked the room divider as it inspired me to create a much needed bookshelf in my small study area. The lamp idea was exactly what I have been looking for.
So happy to see a new video from you! Nice to see some more of your new apartment. Well, I guess it not new anymore. Great video!
Thanks so much! 😊
I loved all of your ideas.💕
Loved the cat box hack.
It's my favorite too 😄
I love the room divider.
Liter box for sure!!! ❤❤❤
The last one is great!
Some of your suggestions are very good. I am saving this video for future nead
Loved the cat litter project
Loved all ideas
And Lea is such a beautiful cat 🐾❤️
You are brilliant. Thank you.
These were the best IKEA hacks I have ever seen. You got my sub.
Missed you Isabell!
Your videos are always inspiring!
Oh thank you!
Love the litter box house and the kitchen island most. All are good but these r my favourites oh and the ottoman is really cool
love all of these. 😍
The wall-mounted switch and plug-in receiver look so cool! I'm definitely going to look into that for some of my lighting. Thanks for all the great ideas! 😊
Edit: My favorite hack is the table and chairs combo. It's making me think about "upgrading" my existing table and chairs at some point. 😊 I also really enjoyed the cork trivet door display and might do something super similar this coming winter season.
Great tips!!! Love your place!
The cat litter box is really cute 🤩😍
I need this type of caatbox so it is my favorite. Thank you.
Hi, the kitchen island is my favorite. Thank you.
Just stumbled on your utube post,I love it. Ur my type of girl.
Incredibly inspiring!! ❤
Welcome back! I’ve missed you.
Love the cat litter box
Great instructions! Thanks!
Very good ideas. Thanks for sharing 👍
The eye shadow solution reminded me of when I was first married I tried my hand at wallpapering….what a disaster! The paper was bright red and rather thin. After the paste dried, the seams popped open making a red and white striped paper. So I took a red magic marker and colored in all the white bits. Really disguised the problem!
love all of it
Wow. These ideas are SO good. Thanks.
Glad you like them!
Great ideas!
The cat litter box soo cute😊
Loved them all!
So glad to hear that!
You are amazing!
It's nice to see a new video.
You're a genius.
Good.
Morning. You are one of the most Amazing DIY persons that I have ever seen on TH-cam. I live in an apartment and I definitely want to try and your d. I. Y's.
Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience.
Your projects are awesome.
I am in awe.
That litter box was really nice.
Brilliant!
Love the idea for diffused lighting using the semi-transparent cutting board -- one of my pet peeves is when bulbs show and it's too bright in one's eyes. This is a perfect hack. Love the kitty litter cabinet (MEOW). The painted table & chairs are perfection. I'm so impressed with everything you did. Where did you learn to use all the tools and build things? I don't even know how to use my cordless drill.
Loved everything but especially the ottoman.
Brilliants ideas 👌 thank you!
You are so welcome!
