    This is the most beautiful utility room I have ever seen! And the fact that you made it yourself using cheaper products makes it even better!

    You can be so proud of yourselves. You made it look easy, but we can’t even build one ikea unit without arguing 😂 so know that it’s not. Fantastic video and a beautiful room.

    Excellent job. Great design, beautifully finished. For me one of the biggest impressions: a delightful couple, each doing what they do best as a complementary team. If only more couples would see the benefits. All the best, Rob in Switzerland

    I think I stated on your closet redo, that I CHOSE Ikea for my kitchen, quite large, and just upgraded my appliances and countertop, and I am totally SOLD on it. I never want any other type of room cabinets. I like the drawer assembly, the hinges are top notch, the cleanability, just everything about it. You did an amazing job here, it's stunning, plus the design was so optimal! I am a big Ikea fan. Isn't it nice to walk into a newly designed room, with all of the goodies for your babies!!! Well done!

  • @janmurray3155

    What a wonderful transformation Emma! You and Simon should be so proud of such a brilliant job! The Stylish Utility Room of All Utility Rooms! And using all those IKEA hacks as well. It looks like an extremely high end mega expensive job. You both have such wonderful attention to detail. Love that the Bs have their own bath too. Can't wait to see how you built this! Looking forward greedily to more reno vids! Love to you, Simon and the Bs. X

    Just FYI for others. Most matching washer dryer sets can easily be mounted on top of each other using a bracket from the manufacturer of the machines. I have done so with many sets easily.

  • @kimberlyperrotis8962
    @kimberlyperrotis8962 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Looks great! I don’t know how Simon can manage without a chop saw, at least, I use mine all the time. I can cross-cut any lumber with it up to 18” wide, and make compound angle cuts, of course. I also have a rolling-stand mounted table saw for rip-cuts and beveling edges. Both were used constantly during my remodeling.

    • @EmmaHill
      @EmmaHill  ปีที่แล้ว

      He’s just always used a manual saw. We do have a skill saw but the battery died after about a minute so it’s just easier and less faffing about to use a manual saw. As I mentioned we couldn’t justify spending money on a table mitre saw, especially when Simon is happy to use a manual one x

    This turned out beautifully!!! I love these ikea hacks. On the window film. When we had new windows, our supplier warned us for privacyfilm on doubleglass windows. He said it heightens the chance of cracking the window.

    • @EmmaHill
      @EmmaHill  ปีที่แล้ว

      We put privacy glass on a window in our old house and it was there for 11 years with no issues so I can’t say that we’ve experienced that x

    Great work. As the alcoves either side of our kitchen chimney were of unequal depth, I installed Ikea kitchen cabinets (60cms deep) on one side with fridge and dishwasher, on the other side I used Besta cupboards (40 cms deep). That was in 2012....😮 With no cooker hood and thousands of steamy meals later (!😂) the Besta cupboards and the others are still in excellent state. They show no wear, no damage and no signs of damp infiltration.
    TBH I see no difference between the MDF of the kitchen carcasses and the Besta ones. Another big plus of the latter though is in addition to the wide range of finishes they have so many different types of closures eg full doors, glass doors, 1/3rd glass reveal doors, big drawers, little drawers (sound like a 70's comedian now! 😂) Always looking on the bright side I'd say your utility room will be positively supporting your home life for a long time.
    Incidentally if you want to reduce the time drying clothes that can't go in the tumbler I also recommend a dehumidifier. They are worth their price because they cost little to run, really remove the damp and I've found they cut down on dog fluff and that wet dog smell as well as that whiff of the boys back from rugby 🎉🎉Yep a machine of miracles! 😂😂

    @babyjinspire ปีที่แล้ว

    You've just inspired me to do this. I attempted a casing for my washer and dryer, but since we don't have ikea here in New Zealand (not yet anyway), I made one out of MDF panels. The only thing is, I haven't fixed it to the wall yet 😅 I will get onto that this week for sure. Thank you for always honestly sharing your progress. You're an inspiration to me, and I always look forward to your content, especially budget friendly ones that look a million bucks!

    very very nice. I have 5 pax closets in my house, 2 in the kitchen and 3 in the living room, I had them 20 years now and I just emptied one to replace for plant shelving. mine are 60cm deep as back then I had one of those old tv's, not I wouldn't need 60 but my tv and stereo have been in there for 20 years, same in the kitchen, it houses all the small kitchen machines and pantry, they're now suffering from a leak from the fridge, so make sure no water can get underneath, but this looks very very cool
