I love a DIY project using things I already have! This home office needed some major help, and the IKEA Hemnes line is great because it is actually solid wood, unlike the Billy Bookcase. I know I may get comments about ways to do this better, and that's OK! I love to learn new skills. We all start somewhere in our DIY journey and we can build our skillset with each new project. Please let me know if you have any questions!

This looks fantastic! I would recommend to paint the bright white outlet cover the same color of the wall. ❤

@theinteriorlyfe2043 11 месяцев назад

You are so right! I may do that at some point. Our paper shredder is actually in front of it, so you don’t actually see it anyways.

@PatriciaMuirMaestroQ Год назад

Clear vision, patience, and trust in your capabilities.. congratulations. For someone who is not a “professional woodworker”, your attention to fine-detailing and quality is the mark of a professional.. Wonderful work. I wonder if a horizontal brace under the floating desktop might have worked well considering that you could not find a wire-free position to drill into the back wall.

@theinteriorlyfe2043 Год назад

Thanks so much! It was one of those projects that took way longer than I thought it would. For the floating desk, I was able to get two brackets into studs and it holds the weight just fine. But you are right, a wood cleat would have worked also! I was over the trips to Home Depot though! 🙈

@user-vs5fx5np2t Год назад

Hi! How did you attach the shelves to the butcher block?

@Jade_902 8 месяцев назад

I guess we’ll never know 😮

@eugsmiley 11 месяцев назад

6:30 Much easier than hacking apart the baseboard would be to chop the legs off the dressers and then build a 2"x4" or 2"x6" pedestal/platform to sit the dresser on. A LOT less effort and it'll be hidden by your molding wrap.

@theinteriorlyfe2043 11 месяцев назад

Good tips! I love learning new things!

@marypritchett1382 10 месяцев назад

You did a great job, I'm loving the look and want to try it myself. I would like to know the measurements of your room, it looks a lot like mine, thank you for sharing, you really inspired me!

@samanthanicholson9015 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing, was the cabinet wood or MDF? Idk I'd like to do that to two book shelves but mine I'd think it could be blown out and not work. Thanks for posting

@stacidavidson1496 Год назад

How did you secure bookshelves to butcher block and wall?

@monicaboston8123 11 месяцев назад

I want to do something like this but I am so scared! 😅😂

@theinteriorlyfe2043 11 месяцев назад

It took me 4 years to get up the courage! I do not have a builders brain and it took me months of measuring and planning. I’m sure someone else could do it in an hour. I will admit, I cussed a lot, but I also learned a lot! You can do it!

@pudgiecardenas842 11 месяцев назад

Kinda confused why you reply to comments, but you ignore the comments asking how you attached the book case to the butcher block ?🤔

@willowweedsYT 11 месяцев назад

I don’t think the shelves are actually attached to the block, they’re standing on top and attached to the wall and then it looks like she glued the trim in place.

@theinteriorlyfe2043 11 месяцев назад

Sorry for the delay! I own my own business and have been slammed with work for weeks, we went on vacation, and I came back with Covid. The bookshelves are sitting on top of the butcher block and not attached to it. The bookshelves have a top bracer bar that is difficult to see on video, but I screwed this part to the stud in the wall. I did trim out the base of the bookshelf where it sits on the butcher block for a more finished look.
