    You are very skilled and innovative. I love the attention to details. The outlet box, the molding to deal with curved walls, the book nook... brilliant!! You make it look so easy 😝 The bench looks amazing 😍😍😍

    Wow! It’s beautiful and completely custom! Look at all that storage! 😍 It doesn’t even look that difficult, just some pre planning and hard work. If you hired a contractor this could easily cost thousands. I subscribed and will be binge watching your channel tonight because I’m buying a new house soon. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ideas. I’m so excited to have found your channel! 🙏

Mold (most commonly seen as black mould) is prone for areas under windows of building that weren't built after 2016. Because that unit is in front of the window it might become moldy. So EXPLAIN... Why is it that in the uk, where the rain and wet conditions are only getting worse that old buildings, not necessarily old buildings-but ones built before 2016 are getting worse ?

I feel you can get the same lush look from using Ikea pieces and then unmaking them. I appreciate what you do and I may have to try this Noodle bench project out for my bedroom which could use a bit more storage and a comfortable place to sit, stage or even put my tv on.

I was able to add two book case units at each end with glass cabinets above. My bedroom can now be like a min I apartment and library. Love the Nordli system for window seats.
