FOR EVERYBODY WONDERING: I am currently at Lowe’s: mirrored glass is currently only sold in 2 sizes.... $13.98 for 24in by 30in & $18.48 for 30 in by 36in. And that’s per sheet. I needed 6 sheets of 24 by 30 for both nightstands and my total was $85
I highly doubt those knobs will hold for long once you put things in the drawers I would have went with drilling with a glass cutting bit and putting them on with screws or bolts
APRIL HONESTLY I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU GIRL... THANK YOU SOOO MUCH. YOU SAVED ME SOOOOO MUCH MONEY ON THIS DIY...... BEST DIY IVE SEEN ON HOME DECOR..
Hey lady!! I googled the RAST CHEST and a similar one sold at Wal-Mart popped up. It's 100 bucks. Ikea 3‑Drawer Chest, Pine, W 24.38, D 11.75, H 27.5, Rast 302214.21723.220, Brown
@@l242l305l i think her poin is that you can implement that idea in the ones you already have, i think that what she means i would do this on some old furniture i have to make ut a live again.. and see how goes.
I made mine using two Ikea Malm 6 drawer dressers that I got used from Craigslist. One cost $30, the other was free. Would have paid about $2,000 for one mirror dresser had I purchased them from store. Used two 30X36 mirrors ($17.98 each). Covered top and 6 drawers. If you're not sure of measurements. Take drawer to Lowes. Make sure to take your scrap mirror after they cut big mirrors. I ordered some very high quality glass knobs from a website call "AliExpress", shipped directly from China (10 days, under $28 including shipping, for 20 knobs). I would have paid about $65+ for them from store. I secured sagging drawers with L brackets on INSIDE and cheap Home Depot yard sticks (98 cents each) on the UNDERSIDE of drawers. I used glue I had and put some on yard sticks before screwing together. Use short screws so that the drawers will close properly. There are videos online to show how to fix saggy drawers. This way works extremely well. Also, a very helpful tip I got from glass cutter in Lowes. PLEASE use a piece of sanding paper (any grit) for sharp edges!! They gave me a piece for free. The mirror is so sharp and dangerous. It will not scratch the mirror and works well with barely any effort.
Omg you’re a blessing for showing this! I’m getting ready to move into my first apartment and I need bedroom furniture. Girl you just saved me some coins! God bless you!
OMG! I can't believe you're applying the adhesive without a dropcloth on your carpet. You are a marvel! I can't even walk across a room without spilling coffee. Great video. Very creative. And now I know that Lowe's will cut mirrored class to my dimensions as part of my purchase. Thanks!
I CANNOT believe how simple this is. I was looking for mirrored nightstands at pier 1 and the prices were totally outrageous!!! April thank you so much. You need your own hgtv show!!!
@@Mqrae Re-read what he wrote. He said he was wondering how she was going to do it. He didn't ask "how" she did it. He was "wondering", and then he watched the video and found out. Don't write hate comments if you don't know what you're talking about, asshole.
I got 2 night stands at a yard sale $5 each. I'm going to try this. I already painted the inside of the drawers a dark turquoise and the outside of them the same as yours.
Let me say I absolutely love your videos April but for anyone trying this project LOWES NO LONGER CUTS MIRRORED GLASS!!!!! at least not in Georgia at all they said all lowes stopped and referred me to a glass company 😫 I was hoping to try your diy because it inspired me
There is a product called "acrylic mirror" at Home Depot. The product description indicates "[It] can be easily cut using standard plastic cutters and common tools around the home". It is a more expensive than traditional glass mirror though. A 24" x 48" sheet costs $55.99.
I can't believe you made the nightstands. I've watched all of your other diy videos and eyed this nightstand in the background. I just assumed you purchased them. I thought you making a bed was awesome but you took it to a whole other level. All hale the DIY Queen!!!!!
I have been looking at these mirror furniture for so long, but just too expensive. I love what you did and how easily you explained everything. They look just like the ones I have been wanting from Z Gallery and of course they are at least $1,000. This will be my next project once we are out of this pandemic. Please keep the video up. Love you for doing this!
I must admit I love this channel. you have hade me at ikea and Lowes and home Depot so tomorrow is my big day I so scared, but you give me faith #girlsrock. love u girly....
This is how many people miss you channel !!! Came across this video in my favorites and remembered how much I looked forward to watching your videos. I love your channel and wish you would make more videos!
These look amazing! I love how simple you kept the DIY too. One thing i'd like to do different if I was making one, is to add cut mirror pieces and mosaic over the larger areas that were spray painted. I feel like the silver paint didn't really look as good as i'd hoped.
+tilywinn - For a more precise look with the spray paint, it would take about 2 -4 coats of spray paint depending on the brand and finish. There are great tutorials on RU-vid regarding spray painting furniture and getting a perfect look. Another alternative to spray paint would be finding a really good sliver paint color and finish to preform the same look. It just depends what you want to achieve. Hopefully, this helps!
are you a design engineer? If not you should be. Your talent is amazing. Have you ever thought of trying out for the HGTV design star? I think you'd win. Amazing. I saw some of your other videos - just amazing.
this is awesome but be real careful spraying windex directly ON the mirror.... it can seep in between the layers and ruin the mirror. It happened to my bathroom vanity mirror. Spray onto the paper towel 1st. Just a little tip so all of your hardwork isn't ruined.
For the mirrors she used, go to Lowes.com and search 99768, it'll bring up the exact mirrors. It is the product number on the brown paper she opened. Be aware that the mirrors have sharp edges. If they are left with raw edges like this, there is a possibility of getting cut, as I have found out from making them myself. They are beautiful and I love them so I am tyring to come up with ideas to fix/cover the edges : )
I recently did this DIY. & damn its beautiful! It cost me nearly $300 for two. You can definitely make yours cheaper. I wanted them extra perfect so i bought more spray paint and mirror glue. Also i bought my mirror at lowes and that cost me $75 because they used 5 mirror sheets, but from the 5th piece there was extra left and i made it into my vanity mirror (its big too!) . Theres only two cons to this project, lowes doesnt smooth the mirror edges (i cut myself once) & 2nd the drawers dont have stoppers so if you open them to much, the weight of the mirror will make the drawer come out and that will for sure break the mirror! So be careful
jazlyne41415 150? That just ridiculous, go to other lowes, the first one i went didnt even want to cut the glass because itd "break" and "cant be used for drawers" . The mirrors i used (and in video) are the gardner glass they were $12.48 per sheet.
My goodness! Now this off the chain stunned me! I've been eyeing this type of furniture for years..but the price? Woooo! Thank you fur sharing who knew! Excellent job well done you!!
Using the same mirrored spray paint on glass works well to for custom diy mirrors. Spray back of glass x 3, apply solid color after like blk/white to seal. This will be back side of mirror. Make sure glass is very clean beforehand
🌹Omg!! That looks fantastic! I am so going to do this! I love mirrored furniture and Z Gallerie is ridiculously priced. Your nightstand looks just like a Z Gallerie piece!!
oh my goodness! I love her brightly colored socks and how she does all this with fabulous nails! I'm gonna try this project. I wish I knew how much the mirror pieces cost her. ...
Thank you sooooo much! I’ve been looking into buying some mirrored furniture costing upwards of $400 for nightstands 😳 and sideboards for more than $800... my breath usually stops every time I think of paying so much for it. Thankfully, I found you. 🙌🏾👊🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Hi April!! You are so creative and hands on. Are the measurements in the description box the measurements for the mirrors?? If not, do you have the measurements for all the different mirrored pieces? Thank you so much for posting this video...very inspiring.
You can do this for so much cheaper, buy thin glass and use mirror finish spray paint easy to use and will save you a lot of money you can also do cool designs with it
Nice job! Best tell your viewers, however, to attach these these babies to the wall with the safety straps IKEA provides cuz they're very narrow, front to back they tip over really easily, especially on a carpeted floor and when the drawers are pulled out. I used 3 together like a console and attached them together (lifted about 14" above the floor) to the wall on one side of room. Used toggle bolts and small L braces on back edges. Went with the pine look and clear varnished them and attached leather strips for handles.
This is the size you cut for the mirror right? thank you! Measurements for IKEA RAST CHEST: Top: 11-3/8 L x 22-7/8 W Sides: 27' L x 11-5/8 W Drawers: 7-1/4 L x 22-7/8 W
+April Bee So I saw these drawers this weekend and was going to buy them because the were so inexpensive and thought I could just do my own thing with them but the drawers are hella rickety. like they are hard to pull out and push back in and seemed mad loose. Do you experience this?
Nice job kiddo! Looks amazing! 👍😍 I did an old square chest in copper once upon a time! You couldn't tell it was wood... but sadly didn't clear coat it and it was used in my gazebo and it got ruined... lesson learned!
Hi! I made these about 3 years ago with the same glue and the knobs have not fallen off. I sometimes forget that they are glued on and I am not gentle at all when pulling them. Hope this helps : )
@@yuma00011 this does, thanks! I have a wooden dresser I tried to put knobs on with E6000 and the knobs first of all of the time, it’s so annoying. I was skeptical as to how they’d hold up on glass so thanks.
sorry for the delay. get a sanding block at the hardware store.. 5 gride .....hold at a 54 degree angle and slide it back and forth..feel it you can tell the difference in the smoothness... If you have already glue it on to your surface wood.. it will still smooth it...just becareful not to sand off your paint on the dress, ect.
Wow!! I have always liked the mirrored effect furniture, but was not going to pay the prices they are asking, but thanks to this fabulous lady I shall now be making my own. Excellent, Thank you.
Im goin to do this but the bottom strip/ space that u left blank/ painted im goin to put mirror there too. Ive already redone my big dresser/ mirrored it love it really glams up a room!
I did this & it turned out SO beautiful! Followed this video! I made a few mistakes of my own so I’ll know for next time but thanks girl! This was great
I didn’t give a thumbs down but I know one such reason is possibly finding out that Lowe’s doesn’t cut mirrors although you purchased them solely for that purpose. Then didn’t want to give my money back without getting a manager involved. This was a waste of my total day! However, it wasn’t necessarily the fault of the person that produced this video. Her experience was different. It’s probably because she’s cute. 🙄😃
