The glass doors do make the area look bigger and it's nice that you can see the lovely items that are stored. The solution for the gap worked perfectly and looks like it was meant to be that way!
I love seeing the mess everywhere half way through the wardrobe revamp, it’s cheers me up because that’s exactly what I’m like 😂😂. Nothing like having a mini makeover and a clear out to make the whole world seem a little better 😉🥰
As soon as I hear your intro music, I start to smile. We all LOVE LOVE LOVE spending time with you, Catherine!! Blondie was doing a great job of supervising!! Xxx
You go Girl! Tear into those walls to give yourself some more storage space. Ask your brothers. You'll know if you hit a major beam, then stop. You can put your summer/winter clothes in there. You know how to hang a door to hide the closet. You just do it! I know you can. Please film it though, you are tres inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
You are the only channel that I can watch and watch again. Really admire your confidence using a drill. We need a tutorial on what size drill plug and screws for different jobs please. Revamped cupboard looks great. Pure genius putting the strip of wood on the door.
It looks lovely and, despite your modest opinion of your work, is Pinterest-worthy! As part of my husband's profession (he has his own business), he does renovations and repairs, so I can tell you that you filled the gap exactly correctly. It is perfect. And the 3 baskets were just right. I can't wait for the "door into Narnia!" (You always crack me up.) You will definitely want a professional to come in to determine where your electrical and plumbing are running behind the walls - don't want you flooding your beautiful home or electricuting yourself! ❤
What a lovely and inspiring vlog to wake up to, here in my 12th week of lockdown in New Zealand! I’m about to purchase an Ikea Billy bookcase with three glass doors to replace my traditional dresser in the kitchen as a china storage cabinet. I have decided to make my fine dinner ware and tea-sets more accessible for everyday use (as you do in your home) and therefore be able to enjoy the beauty of seeing them and using them daily. Love your videos and I hope many support your site by watching the ads - or replaying each vlog a few more times? 😉😅💖🇳🇿
You did such a great job with the makeover and you really can’t tell that you had to add another piece of wood to hide the gap. It works really well! 😊
I must say Catherine “that’s a job well done” you’ve certainly pulled it out of the bag, and I look forward to seeing what you’ve decided to do with that extra storage space too, tfs x Julie
The new doors make a big difference. I admire the way you're willing to give anything a go. There's so much I want to do, but I don't trust myself. I've a load of things bought for different projects, but they're just gathering dust! 😂😂
with very limited space I'm thrilled to have ordered my first Ikea item, a thin tall six shelf unit called the Billy. I found we have an Ikea on my Island and though they didn't have what I wanted in stock, they quickly ordered it for me and it's come from abroad, can't wait to get it for my books.
Look at Blondie - she's knackered, poor girl! Loved the end result, especially the insert on the doors, fab idea. I would have put crystal faceted handles on, purely because I love them, and they're so light reflective. They're also easier for my older hands to grasp without your smacking my nails, which I wear long.
Making more storage of those spaces will be great. I have seen people make dressers in there, putting in drawers for recessed dresser. A lady I follow her blog she has, like you were saying for the doors on the side of you couch, doors for storage of her Christmas decorations. Use every bit you can. Love your solution for your new doors, looks normal.
Brilliant job, Katherine! Very clever to use the scrap wood to hide the gap. I thought it was genius to stick to the door instead of blocking your storage
It's hard to believe that there is still anywhere in the house that can be made over, but this was a big improvement. Why not see your pretties even when not in use? Great job!!
I love that you put the glass doors in. Make’s it look so much homey looking. I think you ought to do the knee wall idea. That space is golden. You could put all your seasonal items in there.
I think the glass doors do make the space look bigger! I think the solid doors just closed the space in. I think it turned out wonderfully be proud of yourself! your brother is so funny! thanks for sharing! oxo
I love the glass, I think the door pulls you had on before would play off the glass inserts. It always amazes me how you tackle so many projects. So nice that you have an Ikea close by.
The area does look great with the glass doors.. You are so brave to take on that kind of a project. I am beginning to think that there is nothing you can’t do. Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸
I just swapped out 3 handles on a cabinet and thought I did something amazing...until I saw your video. Incidentally, I think that cabinet IS Pinterest worthy! I love that you put the piece of wood on the door and not on the cabinet. I think it looks like it was supposed to be like that. And it gives you more room to move stuff around in the cabinet. Great job!
You did a fantastic job on your doors! Today I donated some of my no longer needed “stuff” to the Humane Society. I am enjoying decluttering around my home lately also!
You are such a darling! An incredible motivator whose confidence and enthusiasm make me feel quite pathetic lol. I wouldn’t dream of touching a jigsaw! The cabinet makeover is gorgeous too. Well done that girl 👍🏻👍🏻
I think you did a great job adding that strip of wood. Idk how old your home is, but that's exactly what a carpenter would have done back in the day, so I think it actually looks like it has always been like that🤔
Girl! Ya did it again!! It looks awesome! I think the glass doors bring in some depth and as a result makes the space appear bigger! I was totally thinking, put the strip on the back end of the door so it gives the illusion that it’s a shelf (what are they called…) brace? Divider? But you don’t block access to the actual shelf… and you did just that! Felt as right as rain that I was channeling my inner Dainty as I watched heehee! Great minds and all that! 😄. Do we still get a Thursday video as well?!😃🤗🙏🏽
Your little cubby hole was fab. I was thinking exactly the same as you about the gap. (Screw the wood to the back of the door) Great minds 😊 One little thing you could do is put a little light inside the top to show off your flowers ❤
Hi Catherine, the cupboard look’s lovely with the glass doors, you did a great job. And I’m glad you attached the plank of wood to the door, much easier access. Opening the eaves in your bedroom would add great storage, good idea getting someone in to check it out. Enjoy the rest of your week 😊💖
The houseplant isn't dead :) looked like a Caladium, they just go dormant for the winter and die back to the bulb. You can store the bulb in brown paper bag keeping it dry over the winter and re plant it in spring and it will grow back! 😁
The doors came out really good. If you still have the old doors you might be able to use them on your new cabinet. Love your pink pj's they look so soft . God bless you and keep you
Such perfect solution, it looks lovely. Yes, it does make the space look more spacious and the pretty stuff behind the glass doors looks nice. You could even put battery operated/ rechargeable spotlights in for extra cosy look and light. Well done, it must be extra nice now coming up the stairs.
I know I'm late to the party but to be fair you were very early (we all get confused by dates from time to time 😊) Great idea to attach the strip to the door rather than the shelves. When you were holding the strip up it did occur to me that you would be restricting access to the cupboard. It was a stroke of genius to attach the strip to the door. Well done you 👏
Lol Catherine so funny about you needing up your Tuesday and Thursday, I do things all the time like that. No worries it just means we got to enjoy another one of your videos 2 days sooner. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I love how your doors and your closet turned out. Good idea have great day or in your case evening.
Brilliant job, Catherine! Excellent solution to the gap! Your videos make my week ❤️ If you feel the landing is dark, you could add some LED lights spotlighting or backlighting the flowers.
I love your projects. Doors turned out wonderful. I thought you were going to add the strip of wood to the front of one of the doors but love the way you attach it behind instead. Great job! ☺️ hopefully you can make that added space behind he walls. That would e great. Have a great rest of your week.💕🌸
Oh Dainty (Catherine) you always brighten my day!! ✨I think since we haven’t had people in our homes for so long, we ALL have those piles somewhere in our homes 😊 The storage in the knee walls is an excellent idea and a great selling feature if you ever move! I store my out of season bedding and clothes in one and my closet rail is in another.
Thank you for sharing . 👀 Wow. Totally transformed , looks lovely . I was thinking it seem to lighten up that area , plus the way you displayed everything looks like a cabinet built for display rather than a cupboard to hide things . Honestly you deserve such a pat on the back for this and all you have a achieved . You are so inspiring .💛🤍 ps definitely did right to add the middle wood to door. Brilliant 💡💡💡.
Catherine I think here in the states your home would be considered a Cape Cod, those homes do use that area upstairs for storage. Your hall make over is just lovely, I bought an IKEA tv cabinet years ago, it has a strip on one door, and yes there is a gap, I think it just adds to the charm.
I love these “sprucing up my space” videos you’ve been doing! You are slowly ploughing through you house making it perfect in every detail! Very inspirational!
Oh how fabulous, you have a beautiful house, and I’m amazed at how you come up with such great ideas for improving. You certainly aren’t afraid to tackle jobs yourself. Fantastic Catherine, all credit to you girl. Hugs x
Not only do the new doors make the area look bigger, but brighter too if that makes sense. I would imagine it would be easy to put some battery operated led lights in there if you wanted a little bit of light in the area for night time or something. I have always referred to those kind of behind the wall areas as attic crawl spaces. The second floor of my house has a few of them, and they are lined with thin plywood for the walls and insulation, but ours don't really have wires or pipes. The previous owners used to use them, but we just don't have a need for them at the time as we have a full basement as well, which can hold a lot of stuff. lol. I am like you, I can not function if there is a mess. My brain just seems to focus on how the mess needs to be cleaned and I can't focus on the task at hand. Thank you for yet another tip! I swear you are just full of them, but I love it all.
I really wish I lived next door to you and I live in the USA. 😄 You are so much fun and very talented. Thank you for such great content in your videos.
That looks so much better I love them doors much more cheerful then the closed in ones and I must say you done a bloody good job ps love the nails see you have had them done or have you stoped chewing them lol take care look forward to next flog xxxxxxx
The glass doors do make the area look bigger and it's nice that you can see the lovely items that are stored. The solution for the gap worked perfectly and looks like it was meant to be that way!
Thanks so much! Im so happy with it, thanks for watching
Oo
For a second there i thought today was thursday 😅 what a lovely surprise 🥰
Girl that is Pinterest worthy. The strip of wood gives the cabinet extra detailing. Love it!
Another brilliant job. New doors really finish off the area perfectly. You never fail to amaze me how you never get paint on your lovely clothes x
A+++
Miss independent and killing it at all this home improvement tasks. U GO GURL! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Just when I think you’ve made over your whole house, you find another spot to make beautiful. It looks fabulous. 💕
Oh there's always something to be done ❤️
Such a great upgrade with the glass doors! Makes it look more feminine while serving it's purpose as storage and display! Lovely outcome, Catherine!
Loved giving if a new look 😍
Looks fab! Great idea attaching the wood to the door.
I love seeing the mess everywhere half way through the wardrobe revamp, it’s cheers me up because that’s exactly what I’m like 😂😂. Nothing like having a mini makeover and a clear out to make the whole world seem a little better 😉🥰
Thank you for the surprise video! I'm sitting here, bored, on a cold gloomy day and up you pop! And such a cool project--impressive.
Aw thanks Laura ❤️ it's an evening for a cosy cuppa for sure! Thanks for stopping by
As soon as I hear your intro music, I start to smile. We all LOVE LOVE LOVE spending time with you, Catherine!! Blondie was doing a great job of supervising!! Xxx
Love the way you organize things and paint and fix things yourself.
Has to be done! So much cheaper and adds that extra personality and charm ❤️ thanks for stopping by X

You are the only channel that I can watch and watch again. Really admire your confidence using a drill. We need a tutorial on what size drill plug and screws for different jobs please. Revamped cupboard looks great. Pure genius putting the strip of wood on the door.

This is genius!...I loved the fact that you ploughed on even though you had hiccups!

Love how Blondie decided 2nd bottom shelf just perfect for her to check out what mum is doing this time. Great job looks great.
Thanks so much Mary! X
Love the wardrobe hack!! The storage will be so handy in the bedroom, I'm thinking can you squeeze in a cabrio balcony in there too! :)
"More storage, more shite" 😁😁 sums me up in one sentence 😁. Your new doors look incredible and the gap solution was genius 👌
Brilliant idea replacing the doors. The glass panels make the entire area look high-end and so pretty.
You did such a great job with the makeover and you really can’t tell that you had to add another piece of wood to hide the gap. It works really well! 😊
Thanks so much Emma! X
That is so clever sticking that wooden strip to the door! Genius!
I must say Catherine “that’s a job well done” you’ve certainly pulled it out of the bag, and I look forward to seeing what you’ve decided to do with that extra storage space too, tfs x Julie
Thanks so much Julie! X
Always look forward to watching you! You are a breath of fresh air - funny, smart & talented ❤
The new doors make a big difference. I admire the way you're willing to give anything a go. There's so much I want to do, but I don't trust myself. I've a load of things bought for different projects, but they're just gathering dust! 😂😂
Your idea for that gap is wonderful. Does not obstruct your shelves. Great job as always!
I just love when you're #doingadainty and working through things! Buy a door that's close, then modify as needed. Perfect custom fit! Love it!
with very limited space I'm thrilled to have ordered my first Ikea item, a thin tall six shelf unit called the Billy. I found we have an Ikea on my Island and though they didn't have what I wanted in stock, they quickly ordered it for me and it's come from abroad, can't wait to get it for my books.
Clever idea on attaching the strip to the door instead of the cabinet. Smart.
You go girl....after you get that clearance from those in the 'know'! Nothin' stops Catherine and her side kick Blondie.
Wow what a transformation! I allways love when you pop up on my videos to watch, it’s like hanging out with a friend. Hugs from Australia 🇦🇺
You are such a ray of sunshine and always an inspiration. Love your videos so much!

I love it! The glass in the door gives the landing depth that it didn't have before. Great inspiration!
Hi Catherine, the cupboard look’s lovely with the glass doors, you did a great job. And I’m glad you attached the plank of wood to the door, much easier access.
Opening the eaves in your bedroom would add great storage, good idea getting someone in to check it out. Enjoy the rest of your week 😊💖
Absolutely gorgeous ‼️‼️✨✨✨ the mirror absolutely beautiful, it gives so much character ❣️😘 stunning just stunning 🤗🤗✨🥳🇺🇸
Omg! You have completely transformed your landing, I love it 😍 there is no end to your creativity.
I like the glass doors and that was smart to attach the strip to the door. You go girl!!!!
Great work. And you fixed the gap like a real carpenter would have. 🤗
LOVE!! Love love all your videos! Thank you for sharing! You are very transparent and humble! Never change!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
agreed! she’s so amazing!
Oh you guys ❤️ thanks so much for watching and for all the love 🥰
Beautifully done! So glad you bridges the gap by extending the door 😊
The houseplant isn't dead :) looked like a Caladium, they just go dormant for the winter and die back to the bulb. You can store the bulb in brown paper bag keeping it dry over the winter and re plant it in spring and it will grow back! 😁
The doors are GREAT and you can't tell that you had to add a piece to it. I do like the glass as well!!!
Your brother is right it does look bigger! Well done great job ! And I like the idea of the extra in the wall storage . Take care 😊.
The doors came out really good.

I was not ready for when you opened the closet door! 🤦♀️😂😂😂 glass doors are a real motivation. This turned out really nice!
Don't judge me 😂😂 we all have that one cupboard 😂 thanks for stopping by Carol ❤️
Love how you transform spaces. it looks much better, and you can not tell about the wood panel it looks absolutely fine xxx

You did a great job on design and implementation of the plan. Looks fantastic, more spacious and more modern. I enjoyed watching.
Oh I'm so glad❤️ thanks for stopping by today 🥰

The doors look very professionally done! Big improvement!
You did a great job. The doors totally look like they are made like that and they make your landing feel more finished. I like it a lot !
