Thank you for an actual budget hack that doesn't require being a certified tradesman! I love how this came out and it looks amazing! Well done you! As someone who lives alone, you have given me inspiration and motivation to keep up the work that I do! I recently had to put up 3 ikea units by myself and it was quite difficult! I think ikea have made their instructions even harder so that we use task rabbit! ugh! anyway, enough babbling! Well done you!
Aww thank you 🥰 that means so much to me, I’m so pleased this has helped you ♥️ I find instructions so confusing I usually just go with what I think 🫣 sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t 🤦♀️ I’m the same I don’t have have one to help so I have to do it all myself and I’ve found I absolutely love it so if I can share these and they can be helpful to others that makes my day ♥️ xxx
Hello Kaitlyn! I was headaching how I will renovate my kitchen in a low budget and BOOM 💥 I saw your video on Tik tok!!! I’m sending you all my love from Greece 🇬🇷 for saving me ❤️ can’t wait to see more ;)
I was looking to do my own kitchen island because they are expensive and I came across your video it looks easy I will be making it for my new apartment thank you
Just wanted to say a quick thank you, as I attempted this over the weekend - I can’t lie, the hardest part for me was lugging that silly box upstairs, as it was not the lightest. I used the 8-box unit as it was on sale for £50, then purchased the under-frame for £20 [the 4-box under-frame is £15 from memory]. For the tabletop, I managed to find a return Lagkapten top in the re-use section of IKEA for £12.99. Just need to figure out what I’m doing with the top section, as I used the doors/drawers for the bottom (which aren’t the cheapest). I kind of like the idea of incorporating some sort of wine rack. I used one of the bottom cubes to hide away my air-fryer when not in use, giving me some much needed worktop space back.
Oh I love that 🤩 I think using the 8 box unit with the under frame is such a money saver and definitely the better option, that’s an amazing find for the table top 😃 always good to look in those sections, love the idea of the wine rack that would look lovely ☺️ so glad you’ve done this it’s so functional and easy to switch up ♥️ xxx
Thank you for sharing this. You did an amazing job. I liked the idea of the table top, but found their ready cut worktops. I want wheels on my kitchen island so that I can move it around when cleaning or need more space. I also want the door and draw inserts so that I can keep kitchen gadgets in. I just placed an order for everything and it only came to £394. We will need to buy some 2x6 wood for the underside so we can attach the wheels. We were originally going to go to B&Q so just saved over £400, and we will save space as it will not be so wide as B&Q units, so huge win.
Aww yay this is so lovely to hear 🥰 adding wheels is such a good idea, be really useful to be able to move it, i absolutely love the island it’s made such a difference in the kitchen and the added storage is always a plus ♥️ xxx
The only thing I would have done differently is to put wheels instead of legs. You can get the wheels with a locking break on the so it doesn't move around.
Looks great!! I personally would have done the brass legs at least also at the side where you walk between the cooker and the island, but other that that: wonderful idea all over and great result!
Oooooh Kaitlyn I absolutely love that ! Wish I had a bigger kitchen. Looks gorgeous. Hope your doing ok lovely. I'm going through a proper heth scare at the mo so really struggling. Sending love as always x❤
Aww thanks so much lovey, I feel so lucky ti be able to have one ♥️ I’m doing ok lovey really working on things to try and be calmer, oh lovey I’m so sorry to hear this I’m always here if you want talk ♥️ sending you lots of love ♥️ xxx
@@KaitlynLouise Aw thankyou. 🥰 Like you I'm trying so so hard to just keep calm but I find it nigh on impossible sometimes ! It's so horrible isnt it. Glad you are doing a little better at the mo. Think of you often xx
Ich habe dein Link gesehen von der Arbeitsplatte (200x60) hast du sie gekürzt ? Das Kallax regal ist ja 146,5 cm . ? Wir ziehen bald in ein neues Heim, und ich möchte auch so etwas tolles bauen
The nice part of Kallax is you can go back and get some drawers if you feel like the cubes aren't working.
