IKEA Billy Bookcase & Havsta Cabinets Bedroom Transformation ✨ DIY Vlog
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ส.ค. 2024
- Since the day Scotty and I saw our house for the first time I have been dreaming of putting in an IKEA Billy Bookcase and Havsta Wall in our bedroom. I love the idea of being able to display things that bring us joy, see our book collection and have keepsakes and photos take pride of place in our bedroom. This room was dark grey and bare before we took hold of it.
I have to say doing these projects with my Dad is one of the greatest joys in my life. Spending time together and working side by side to complete a task is one of our favourite ways to create memories. He truly is such a wonderful person to learn from and spend time with and I am so proud of what we have created this time round. Also I truly couldn't have done this without him! That man has some skills I tell you!
I have so many more ideas for this house and even this bedroom if you can believe it! Yes we aren't finished just yet. But for now I hope you enjoy the biggest project I've taken on to date. I'm so proud of it and honestly wake up every morning so grateful to have the opportunity to do something like this. The gratitude I feel for owning a house and being able to make it our home is truly never lost on me.
I hope you are all doing well and please do let me know if you have any questions about this project! It was a labor of love and I cannot wait to see it evolve over the years to come!
Sending you all loads of love -- thanks for being here!
Amanda

Oh my gosh no word of a lie Terry this literally just made my eyes water! 🥹❤️ Thank you, I hope so 🥰
Your Dad is a gift! I know I don’t have to tell you not everyone has any person in their lives such as your Father. This whole thing was accomplished as a team and you are both so fortunate in one another! He must be VERY proud of you, his LOVE is obvious 😊😊! Im a new follower. 72 year young Memere here-It’s BEAUTIFUL!

Love what you have both done. It looks beautiful 💗💗💗
So kind of you ❤️Thank you so much for watching!
Hi Amanda, Great to meet you i also live in Ontario, I clicked on your video by mistake but the energy you give in your video drew me in. I love what you have done in your bedroom it looks fantastic. I too have done built in in the past and i have done many more things as well, tiling, plumbing, electrical i have sanded down hardwood floors and refinished them and replace cabinetry and built my own book cases and i have built horse stalls and cleaned a barn that hadn't had animals in for over 20 years and everything was still left there when we moved in in October of 2023 and i mean everything Shavings hay and all the recycled material you could imagine, yep that!. As a woman myself, i have always pushed back when they say women can't do this kind of thing, when really we are just as capable as any man who can do the same thing. If taught correctly how things are done we can accomplish anything we set our hearts and minds to do and do it just as well as anyone else out there. Ikea is an amazing store and i could spend days in there looking around and find something i want to buy, but i have animals now and getting some more in the spring and i have to fix up this old barn to make better use of the barn. We need more women doing this kind of thing its inspiring and its fun too to create something yourself and it matches the vision in your head is an amazing feeling. I have subscribed to your channel and i would love to see more of your channel in the near future. God bless you for your inspiration and enthusiasm too, its electric for sure. love the light fixtures too amazing choice and very glamorous too.
Oh my goodness Tracy this made my week! Thank you for putting so much love and thought into this comment. Truly so kind of you and I loved hearing a bit about your story as well! ❤️ So grateful to have people like you find and join my cozy little nook of the internet! Best wishes
A very great one, Amanda!❤❤
I wish I had a papa like him.😊
I promise to share as much knowledge from him as possible so we can all take it in ❤️❤️❤️
Wow you look so beautiful and tomboyish in those overalls! ☺️ your a hardworking DIY worker in them! 😊 you did an amazing job on this IKEA Build! Your a true hardworker in those overalls! ☺️ great job on this video! 😊
So beautiful! ❤
Aw thank you Leah!!
I'm just here to say that it looks absolutely beautiful AND you have an amazing Dad! ❤
Oh my gosh thank you so much beauty 🥹🥰❤️ I'm so grateful for the opportunity to learn from him and spend all that time together
In time, you will look at this project and have awesome memories doing this build-in with your dad. Throughout the years, I’ve learned a lot from my dad (how to paint, tile, and build) while growing up and when returning home due to my mom’s bad health (sadly, she has since passed away) I had done with my dad (he’s now 89)and now I know things & pass down the knowledge I’ve learned from dad to my children. As I’m disabled, I talk and review with my children as to begin and complete their project(s). My children understand how to build items and are very creative (like I was taught by my dad, their grandfather)…these are the BEST MEMORIES!!!!!! !!
You guys did an AWESOME JOB with your build-in project.
Aw you're so right 🥰🥹 I honestly already feel so much of this ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing so much of your story love I really appreciate it. And I'm so sorry for your loss with your Mom. Sending you loads of love and so happy you've been able to learn and pass these things on too ❤️
Just stumbled on your channel. I love that I finally found a CANADIAN TH-camr DIYer that has fabulous taste. Love the ikea built ins.
Hey nice to meet you. I’m Canadian, come fallow along 🤎
WOWOWO you & your Dad are amazing!!! this looks SO good
Aw thank you so much my darling! Can't wait to have you and Bran over to see it in real life! xo
Your Dad really did a great job !!! 🙂
Right!! I am sooo impressed with how he did the crown. I learned a ton! So grateful for his skills and knowledge🥰
You have a great dad.
I agree 🥰❤️
Fantastic!
really pretty. i love your window treatments. the light is dreamy. you did good. kudos to dad for his expert work.
Aw thank you! If you can believe it my Mom made them haha we love making things ❤️🥰 She's very talented!
Hi Amanda, wow Great Job! on the project with your Wall, it turned out so nice. I enjoy watching your video's.
Aw thank you Lena! So kind of you ❤️
Loved what you did
omg! your dad is so awesome to do all that for you. So cool. What a lovely man xo. My dream wall
Truly the luckiest gal! He's the best!
This is very impressive! I love it.
Not everyone has a dad who can help or alive. I won’t be taking this on. Looks good.
Hi thanks for watching and for the comment 🤍 Part of sharing these DIY videos with my Dad, is my hope that his wisdom might help someone who doesn’t have a father figure or craftsperson in their life 🤍
You and your Dad did a fantastic job. It looks like it was built with the home. Love ❤️ your styling and the light is gorgeous. Very nice 👍🏽
Oh my gosh thank you so much! That is such a high compliment I really appreciate it 🥰
I believe I would love to try something like this you and your dad did an amazing job
Thank you so much!! So grateful to him showing me so much in the process! Love learning with you guys ❤️

Love it all.
Aw thank you so much for watching!
Wow! Amazing, I think I will subscribe while I am here!! Yep just subscribed. You and your dad is quite the team! Awesome! Cots. Finger cots to keep your skin/nails and all delightful!
Aw so happy to have you here!! Thanks for joining this cozy little nook of the internet 🥰🥰
Awesome!
Thanks so much 🥹
Oh the plastic finger thing is brilliant, I filled a house a whole house plus repaired plaster wedding cake clings and it all was by bare finger tip. Gruelling. Thanks
Oh wow that would have been a lot!! Well done for all that work! ❤️ So happy it helped!
The shelves and unit separated from the fireplace is excellent.
Thank you! We love that fireplace so much! It's travelled with us from home to home!
Amazing
Thank you!!
This is great, thank you! I loved watching you and your dad, and thank you for explaining along the way.
I may have missed it, but can you describe how you mounted or secured the bookshelves and cabinets to the wall?
Great job!! Dads are the best! As for art, seek out a local artist (or me) to get just what you prefer, to have something original, and to help a fellow creative!! So many people go the route of cheap mass produced work when a local artist's work is so much more meaningful. I'm an artist and I have been getting more and more commissions over the last few years because people want that person touch and unique work. Good luck!
Yes!! This is exactly what we want! Something that means something to us. Didn't find something at the big box store because nothing had soul. Definitely on the hunt for artwork with a little magic and heart 🥰
Alot of outfit changes & hand & hair flips lol but like how simple it turned out♡
Though it looked like it was a straight week this Reno actually took place over months so naturally there were outfit changes 😂 Thanks!
Yeah I had to fast forward through the outfit talk and all of the talking in the mirror. The project turned out great…your dad did an amazing job!
Hi, I'm a new subscriber I'm from the UK.That looks amazing. Xx
Aw I'm so happy to have you here! I LOVEEEE the UK! Went to London for the first time last year and it was one of the best trips ever! ❤️ Thanks for joining this cozy nook of the internet!
An ornate oval mirror will be perfect above the fireplace ❤
Amanda, This is the first video of yours I have watched. Love, Love, Love it!!! For a great piece of artwork to enjoy above the fireplace, might I suggest Michael Fratrich's Ten One Gallery in Lamberville, New Jersey. My son treated me to a weekend there last Autumn. We chatted with Michael - this is truly one of my very favorite galleries. His art is so calming and just lovely. Hope you can take a look. Carry on!!!!
Oh so grateful TH-cam brought you to this cozy nook of the internet! I will be sure to check out that gallery. Sounds absolutely perfect 🥰 Thanks for the recommendation!
Your dad should have his own DIY channell!!!
Agreed!
We are using 36" wall kitchen cabinets we got at an Auction, putting small feet on it to use as a base, then bookshelves
Oh that's going to be amazing!!
Excellent effort. As someone who designs millwork you need 2-3” filler on the ends of the cabinets to move them away from the walls, looks more intentional and expensive, especially behind the curtains, even a 4-6” filler or drapery recess. Also. I would have done cord management and hid the cord next the right cabinet inside the cabinet. Lastly, that crown is so ornate. A large simple cove on top of a fascia, touching the ceiling would make a better statement. You guys a cute though.
Looks great and so helpful to have such a handy helper!! Wondering how you secured the billy to the base? Thank you!
Definitely! Couldn't have done it without him and so grateful to learn along the way 🥰 Because we secured both units to the wall I really only had to Dap them in together. But it's always an option to add a bracket just like we did to the top!
I want that BeautiFULL gold framed mirror on the mantle 😊.. is it too tall?
Great video, great Work, great Dad✨️💖✨️ Congratulations & Blessings ✌🏼💙✊🏼
Hi love! The one I have is too tall but I know there are really beautiful half sized ones that would work perfect! (Like this one from Structube: bit.ly/3IdBJBZ)
Thank you for the idea of having a fake fire place. And how you put the bookshelves
My pleasure! It was a game changer for us getting the electric fireplace 🥰 Thanks for watching!
Looks amazing Amanda absolutely gorgeous ❤ love watching your vlog ❤🎉
Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️❤️
Why not flip it and use the kick plate for the crown box?
This is absolutely stunning! Where did you purchase the trim above bookcase from? It.s beautiful!
Aw thank you!! I bought it from RONA 🥰 it's a polyurethane trim
Amanda, check out Fusion paint. It’s acrylic resin paint from Canada. It has primer and top coat in it. Check them out. Great colors and the paint is marvelous.
For future projects.
Great job my dear.
Great shout! Thanks so much for the tip 🥰
P.S. your hair is fabulous ❤
Aw thank you Ann!
I love ur hair color ! darling
Aw thank you angel!
Amanda could you put the name of your friend Emma's channel. I absolutely loved this bookcase build. You and your dad's relationship that we see is so adorable. ❤ It tfs
Thank you so much for the reminder I knew I forgot something 🥰 Just popped her Instagram and TH-cam in the description! You'll love Emma!
Ps. I truly won the lottery having a Dad like mine ❤️
I have the same Havsta bookcases and need to put the gold door locks on like you have! Can you provide a link?
Oh lovely! Yes absolutely 🥰 bit.ly/3vWMTZ7
Love this video and your Dad. What breed is your puppy?
Thanks so much for watching! Rosie girl is a mini golden doodle (an F1B) 🥰🥰
Whenever needed IKEA will help you load wagons and your vehicle. Is the nail polish Mila? What is the color, looks like a part of their holiday set.
Great job!.what kind of selling do you have in your room? It is so beautiful.
Thank you so much! I'm not sure actually it was like that when we bought them home 🥰
So nice! How much the cost for everything ?
What color are your walls? Its so light and calming!
Aw thank you so much! I searched for sooo long for a warm white like this. It's called "Westhighland White" by Sherwin Williams. When the afternoon light floods in our bedroom it's absolute magic! ✨🤍
Great transformation but what kind of multi tool is your Dad using as I have a Dremel and it vibrates terribly and I can't get a straight cut.
I'm going to see him tomorrow I'll ask! 🥰🥰
what store did you get the moulding from thanks
Good thing your dad is a pilot! What do us who don't have a pilot to help us do?
❤❤❤
Thanks love!
What will you do when you want new carpet? Can you easily dismantle the built-ins and remove the carpet underneath them?
It would just be cut! And then the new carpet would go up against the builtin ☺️
Love this! Where did you get the fireplace ? ( btw, new subscriber )
Hi! So happy to have you here! It's from Wayfair and I've put the link in the description box 🥰 We've had it for over 5 years and we still love it!
@@AmandaWeldonyour description box is not showing. We only see your transcription . TY
So I love it you’re definitely a DIY beginner with as much as dad has done in this room and that’s OK I’m not a beginner but I’m not a professional either so I’m just the slightest bit jealous because dad is helping only because my dad was still alive. lol he would be helping to, but it’s looking good I’m awaiting the change of the light😊
You briefly flash what looks like an inspo pic on your phone, right about 3:02. Where is that from?
Hi Kelly! I actually made that in Canva! I like to mock up designs before I start on a room so I just made it there on a little art board :)
Where did you buy your crown top moulding?
At RONA in Canada 🥰
Hi, the link for the fireplace just takes me to Wayfair home page. Do you happen to know your brand/make?
I want to get one, and it’s helpful knowing you’ve had it a long time and are still happy with it.
Thanks!
Hi Barbara! Great catch thanks so much for flagging that 🥰 So this one is the updated version of the one we've had for years (bit.ly/3u9pWl7) Let me know if that link works. We've had it so long that I even painted it through this process. Hope that helps!
@@AmandaWeldon perfect! This is actually one I was considering.
Thank you so much! Just discovered you, and I’m subscribing.
What was the brand name of your bodysuit? and your little bib like outfit ? it’s cute cute,it was adorable i didn’t see a name for where you purchased them the comments anywhere
Aw thank you Leslie! I linked them in the description :) The bodysuit was lululemon and I found the overalls on Amazon!
My main takeaway with this video is: Have a dad like yours if you wanna build something like this "by yourself"
Did I build this myself, no. Did I learn a ton and continue to add skills to my tool belt, yes. One day I'll be able to do things like this on my own but why wait until that day to share the experience and the knowledge? Not everyone is lucky to have a Dad like mine so I wanted to pass along some of his wisdom for that community too. I'd rather share the true journey versus pretend or wait until I'm an expert. Some people will see that and some people just won't.
I swear, Amanda, like me, you act like you were gifted the very last daddy on the planet, and I LOVE it! Us girls and our daddies. 😂🩷
Hahah it's true 🥹 So grateful for him! Love that you have that relationship too!
You are so cute and the video was really good. wish you wouldn't look into your view finder when you are using your mirror, so much more engaging when you are looking at us and not at the view finder. Also thought your Dad was really sweet and had good advice. Defiantly want to come back and see more of your projects.
Thanks so much for watching! The view finder thing is definitely something I'm going to work on this year haha it's so hard to know where is best so appreciate the feedback 🥰 Can't wait for our next project!
🥰🐕🥰
Why not have gotten the Havasta and Billy combination? They already make that
It's lovely! But sadly it wouldn't have been tall enough 🥰
