Kudos to you!! Fantastic job...and the fact that you have a toddler bee boppin’ around the whole time....WOW!!! I’m in awe. Absolutely beautiful. I love your spirit and ambition!
So glad someone made this. I’ve been seeing cane sideboards everywhere and am obsessed but don’t want to pay 2K for one. I had this idea and decided to see if anyone had already accomplished!
Hello Megan Bell - Your Video Diy Caned Credenza Boho Midcentury Modern Ikea Hack, Makes Me Can'T Stop Watching This Video, The Idea Is So Inspiring...
This is stunning, as usual. Love that you are showing how to uplevel inexpensive furniture too and not destroy antiques! It would be awesome if the makers of TH-cam would stop promoting Amazon and promote other makers and Indie businesses instead. You can find GORGEOUS furniture legs and knobs etc on Etsy for example for a super reasonable price OR even just really unique details that people might want to use if they were told to visit that site instead. I have purchased both authentic MCM legs and reeeeally gorgeous acrylic and gold leaf legs for the same amount as I would have paid on Amazon. With the number of people who have been stuck at home doing projects it was a huge missed opportunity to support the small businesses and artisans who need it.
Love it! Gorgeous! I think you should attach the backing. I had a piece of furniture (an armoire) that had the backing fall off. It was too small and I never bothered to replace it. The backing actually gives it structural stability- I didn't know this! My piece ended up getting all wonky and the drawers would not close right after a while. You could always cut holes in the back for your cords...I love how creative you are! This looks so expensive and fresh!
@@MeganBell 🤔 If followers are worried about stability, they can add four square -or- quarter round trim pieces (8 pieces total). Cut slightly smaller than depth of cabinet to fit each inside each corner. •Pick wood screws or finishing nails that will go thru trim piece into the interior side as well as top/bottom (w/o piercing all the way to exterior of cabinet when the nail or screw is all the way in). The fact two cabinets are screwed together in the center could also improve overall stability. If that's the case, you could scale back trim in outer corners only (4 pieces total). Something like that would help prevent any potential wobble or collapse. 🦋
im definitely doing this for my bedroom update. I dont have a jig but I have a circular saw like you have and a hand saw. ill tag you in my update video so people can watch you step by step.
I’m in the middle of creating this with the IKEA Eket cabinets. I’ve been looking for sturdy and firm cane, I like yours! I also liked how you attached it. My doors are exactly like that so this video was perfect! Thank you!
So many great ideas in your channel! Thanx!! ( btw. Its easier to join the cabinets by clamping them together before screwing). Thanx again for all inspiration!
💥It is a thing of beauty!💥 🤔Do you miss a garbage disposal? Would only ever go super high-end apron style stainless steel. Otherwise feel that SS sinks tend to look depressingly cheap & utilitarian.
Lovely hack! My main issue with pine, is just how soft it is and easy to mark/indent with just a fingernail. I’m considering adding hardwood veneer sheets and edging next time I work with pine boards.
Can you tell me what kind of cane webbong u got from the site ? They have so many diff kind . Can u please tell and how much you bought to cover the whole project
@@siobhanroberts8627 You're right👍. Found getting the right adjustment on hinges to be one of the trickiest things to get right.😢😭😂 😣Took me a lot of trial & error on doors to finally get hung right on a faux built-in wall of 4 tall IKEA Billy Bookcases.
The doors look great, but the big uneven gaps between the doors would drive me crazy. I'd end up taking them off and adding wood to the middle to make them flush. Love the legs! ETA: I see someone told you how to fix those gaps. News to me too!
Everyone is making these but they are all a little different. I really like the look of this one. Lots of storage. Can you show a pic of it all set up with TV and stuff please.
Never seen a person completely match a room before lol. At time of typing IKEA is doing the rattan IVAR doors in that cane/bamboo weave. Great result btw.
Looks wonderful! I love building my own wood furniture (not sofas, of course) and love these hacks. I am planning on making an ivar sideboard, with the 20" deep cabinets and hope to wall mount them with multiple brackets. I loved your doors too but I doubt I have the patience to cut out the inside rectangles like that. Marvelous!!
Hi Megan, I'm so confused because your channel is one of the best in youtube, so I hope you have more viewers and more success. I have been here since you start, I don't say much, but I LOVE everything you do. I wish you much more success because you deserve it all.!!! Hugs!!!!!
Awesome job! So Inspiring! Quick question is there a reason you selected a latex paint vs. something like Fusion Mineral or a Chalk Paint? New to all this and just wondering about the choice to use Latex vs other options. Benefits?
When I saw the skill saw I was like...I'm out😭....my fingers are worth more to me than the difference in cost of the store bought one 🤣 This project is just stunning love it! You got skills girl 😂👍
Like the video... was curious how the doors are holding up. The short grain at the top and bottom could be problematic. (Especially with young children)
They make cane doors for these, or is that just in Australia? I wonder if those doors, $55 Aus, would fit onto the standard Ivar cupboard. I have a feeling they do.
That's exactly right. There's only specific places to screw the legs in, otherwise your screws go through the bottom of the credenza as the wood on the base of it has areas where it is too thin.
Sure, but if you are asking me then I have a feeling it may be a bit advanced. I would advise looking at the besta units from ikea as they are much shorter.
Hello! I am going to give this a shot, I'm wondering which selection you chose on the cane webbing website, there are so much!! Also how many feet did you order to cover all four doors?
Hey Megan I have been watching this video at least 10 times! So good! And try to make something similar like it. So I went to the website that you link here to get cane web ... Cane Webbing 3/8 SuperFine 18 in .. is it the one you ordered ? And how many quantity should I order? I saw you answered question and said 132 inches? So that means I need to order 8 of it? Thank you so much!
When you’re attaching the cabinets together with screws, they’re coming out the other end. How did you remedy that? Did you unscrew them and use a smaller size or do something on the other side? I’m wondering how to fix that for a piece I did and made the same mistake. Thank you!
LOVE this video! Im going IKEA to start this project! I was wondering what the exact cane is that you purchased on the website and how much you purchased. Is there any way for you to comment and let me know? Thank you and I love your channel!
Love this! You did such a good job and it made me feel like I could possibly attempt this! LOL quick question, how many feet of the cane did you have to use and also how long did it take for you to get it when you ordered it from that company? Thanks!!
Respect. The fact that she’s working on this amazing project with a little ‘supervisor’ playing around amazes me.
So sweet, thank you!
I know amazing
And takes time to give hugs and kisses to her baby!!!🙌
Kudos to you!! Fantastic job...and the fact that you have a toddler bee boppin’ around the whole time....WOW!!! I’m in awe. Absolutely beautiful. I love your spirit and ambition!
Hey!! You can adjust the hinges of the doors so you can get them closer between each other ☺️
Thanks for the tip!
Yeah I was wondering too how to make the gap between the door disappear… thanks for the tip
Great tip! I didn't know that either, and that gap would make me crazy.
One of the BEST diy I’ve seen in YEARS! I LOVE your style and creativity to make these pieces your own.
Such a nice chill video to watch at 7am on a Sunday.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can't stop admiring her arms!!
I've been thinking that this whole time
That’s the first thing that came to my mind!! I was like look at those arms girl!!
Same
So glad someone made this. I’ve been seeing cane sideboards everywhere and am obsessed but don’t want to pay 2K for one. I had this idea and decided to see if anyone had already accomplished!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Hello Megan Bell - Your Video Diy Caned Credenza Boho Midcentury Modern Ikea Hack, Makes Me Can'T Stop Watching This Video, The Idea Is So Inspiring...
You can adjust those hinges to make the doors more straight 🙂
Do you have videos on how to do it?
This looks really good love the fact that u made it what u wanted it to be & didn’t have to pay a grip to make it happen.
For extra strength I would suggest laying the IVAR cabinets on top of 3/4” plywood base and attaching the legs to that instead of the cabinets.
This Ikea hack lands in my top 10. You did a phenomenal job here!
I appreciate that!
This is stunning, as usual. Love that you are showing how to uplevel inexpensive furniture too and not destroy antiques!

Great point, Andrea! Very true.
GRRRRL! YOU ARE SO BOSS! THIS D.I.Y IS BRILLIANT AND LOOKS SO GOOD!!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that.
Love, love, love this!!! You have a great eye!!!
Love it! Gorgeous! I think you should attach the backing. I had a piece of furniture (an armoire) that had the backing fall off. It was too small and I never bothered to replace it.

You could always cut holes in the back for your cords...I love how creative you are! This looks so expensive and fresh!
Great tip! I just left it off, but I totally could have cut holes, like you said.
I had a piece of furniture collapse when I tried to move it without the back on 😬
The backing on the ivar is paper thin, guys. I don’t think it’s collapsing without it.
@@MeganBell 🤔 If followers are worried about stability, they can add four square -or- quarter round trim pieces (8 pieces total). Cut slightly smaller than depth of cabinet to fit each inside each corner.

Yes! Thank you!
This is so genius. Totally updating my current media console like this!
Yay! You should!
BEAUTIFUL & CREATIVELY done!!!!!
Thank you so much!
So many great ideas in your channel! Thanx!! ( btw. Its easier to join the cabinets by clamping them together before screwing). Thanx again for all inspiration!
I want something like this for my tv. Lovely.
Your sink ( 6:56 ) is so nice! I'd like one that big!
We LOVE it too. I will never got back to a double or stainless steel sink ever!
💥It is a thing of beauty!💥
🤔Do you miss a garbage disposal?
Would only ever go super high-end apron style stainless steel. Otherwise feel that SS sinks tend to look depressingly cheap & utilitarian.
Great job turned out so well. Yes, great definition in her arms a true boss!!😊🙂👀👍
Thank you so much 😀
🏋️♀️Impressive🏋️♀️...on both counts!
You inspire me. Thanks for sharing
That’s so cool. And it’s beautiful
Love this. I’m hoping to do this with an old kallax unit that I have.
Lovely hack! My main issue with pine, is just how soft it is and easy to mark/indent with just a fingernail. I’m considering adding hardwood veneer sheets and edging next time I work with pine boards.
Excellent video, Megan Bell!!
Thank you!!
Can you tell me what kind of cane webbong u got from the site ? They have so many diff kind . Can u please tell and how much you bought to cover the whole project
well done! love it, got some new ideas. thanks for sharing. was the webbing still wet when you attached it?
Thank you! Super helpful for a project I'm doing with a dressing screen. Happy to have found your channel.
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing things on this channel...congrats... i subscribe... love your work...thanks a lot
Awesome, thank you!
Is there really supposed to be a space between the doors? Thinking of getting Ivar too, but the gap bothers me a bit. Thanks! :)
Door should be able to be regulated from the hinges and then you will not have a space.
Was about to ask the same ques. Its like she install it wrongly.. the gap are too wide..
There are videos on how to close the gap you can have a look at.
The hinge screws will adjust the door space gaps.

Wowza so fun to watch, this is definitely on my bucket list. Also where did you get your jumpsuit super cute!
Loved watching you build this. You do great work. Looks beautiful
Thank you so much 🤗
Great video and ideal!
Very creative thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
The doors look great, but the big uneven gaps between the doors would drive me crazy. I'd end up taking them off and adding wood to the middle to make them flush. Love the legs! ETA: I see someone told you how to fix those gaps. News to me too!
Wow - beautiful cabinet!
Thank you!
It’s funny I’ve been looking into this and then you posted a video making it :) so happy to see this! Thank you Megan :)
Hope you like it!
Beautiful job Megan!!
Thank you!! 😊
You did a outstanding job !!
Everyone is making these but they are all a little different. I really like the look of this one. Lots of storage. Can you show a pic of it all set up with TV and stuff please.
Me to myself: Kayla you've already watched 8 of these videos. You know exactly how they make those doors.
Also me: ~click~
Fantastic fitting.
fantastic idea. I am furnishing my own condo soon and will do this trick. Maybe use something metallic for a bit of industrial look.
Great idea! Go for it! 💛
Amazing! I like your style!!
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful job 👏
I’m loving it! I’m totally doing this project. Can’t wait!
Wonderful! Have fun!
Wonderful work and video! As an aside, I like your wall paint colour. Can you please tell me what colour it is?
Wow 🤩 it turned out very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
so cute! where did you get your overall from!? I have been looking for something like that!
LOVE THIS !!! so creative !! Looks adorable ! 😍❤️
Thank you!! 😊
This came out so cleaaaaan👌🏽
I think so too! Thank you!
I am so impressed!! It is beautiful!! I would attach it to the wall for safety. Your sweet one is so precious!!
Thank you so much!
Very nice! I might have to try this.
Please do!
Never seen a person completely match a room before lol. At time of typing IKEA is doing the rattan IVAR doors in that cane/bamboo weave.
Great result btw.
I saw that! And thank you.
Omg!!! Megan! This is so amazing!! It came out so beautiful, you are SO creative. I’m totally going to try this out. Thank you for inspiring me
🤩🤩🤩
Yay! Thank you! Please do!
So lovely! Which webbing size did you go with? It’s hard to visualize the size of the holes on the website! (3/8in, 1/2in, etc)
I like it. But I wonder why you did not use the back piece for the cabinet?
Gorgeous!
Hi! I am new here. It's the first time I see you, & Megan you are amazing. 🤗🤗 I love your work. 😍😍
Thank you so much!!
Looks wonderful! I love building my own wood furniture (not sofas, of course) and love these hacks.

MEGAN!!! this is amazzzzzinnnggg!!!!! Love love love!! ❤️❤️
Awe thank you, lady!
Hi! Beautiful result! How many feet did you need and was it 18" or 24"?
18”, about 132 inches
Hi Megan,
I'm so confused because your channel is one of the best in youtube, so I hope you have more viewers and more success. I have been here since you start, I don't say much, but I LOVE everything you do. I wish you much more success because you deserve it all.!!! Hugs!!!!!
Thank you so much!! That really made my day.
Best DIY ever! I’m doing this immediately 😍
Yay! Thank you!
Turned out amazing 😍
WOW! I'm watching these videos as if I could ever recreate them xD I neither have the equipment nor the skills
Love it!! Did you attach the caning to the doors while it was still wet or did you let it dry flat first?
Still wet!
That way when it dries, it shrinks a bit and lays nice and flat.
Hi! Did you get Cane Webbing in 3/8 SuperFine 18”?!
Yes! That's it!
So so so nice! I just subscribed. Regards from NYC
Awesome! Thank you!
Can the doors be closer to each other so that when they are closed you don't see a gap? Or is just that way?
Awesome job! So Inspiring! Quick question is there a reason you selected a latex paint vs. something like Fusion Mineral or a Chalk Paint? New to all this and just wondering about the choice to use Latex vs other options. Benefits?
Wow, you did an amazing job. ❤️
Thank you so much!
When I saw the skill saw I was like...I'm out😭....my fingers are worth more to me than the difference in cost of the store bought one 🤣 This project is just stunning love it! You got skills girl 😂👍
Beautiful! Thanks for your video
Thanks for watching!
Awesome change! I really love caning. I subscribed, too.
Thanks for subbing!
Did you pre drill the wholes before screwing the legs in? And what screws did you use to connect the two
What size/width of cane webbing do you buy? Also love your video! This is soooo cute 😍😍😍
Like the video... was curious how the doors are holding up. The short grain at the top and bottom could be problematic. (Especially with young children)
Was the cane still wet when you stapled it in place? I’m about to attempt something similar but I get caught up in the details. 😩
Yes. Still wet!
I love it 😻
They make cane doors for these, or is that just in Australia? I wonder if those doors, $55 Aus, would fit onto the standard Ivar cupboard. I have a feeling they do.
Hi! Did you only screw in the legs with 2 screws? Is that because the base is hollow or did I just miss something?
That's exactly right. There's only specific places to screw the legs in, otherwise your screws go through the bottom of the credenza as the wood on the base of it has areas where it is too thin.
Gorgeous! 🌈
Thank you! Cheers!
Hermoso/ Beautiful !!!!!!!!!
Hi do you think we are able to make the height of these ivar units smaller?
Sure, but if you are asking me then I have a feeling it may be a bit advanced. I would advise looking at the besta units from ikea as they are much shorter.

1/8 super fine! About 132 inches
Love your videos, quick question, where did you get your super cute outfit?
Can I please know your wall paint color? It’s beautiful!!!
Love this! You did such a good job and it made me feel like I could possibly attempt this! LOL quick question, how many feet of the cane did you have to use and also how long did it take for you to get it when you ordered it from that company? Thanks!!
You can do it! I ordered 132 inches and it was here within the week!
