You and the word "lazy" should never be in the same sentence! You are amazing: a talented, creative wizard and a beautiful soul! So very glad you decided to share your extraordinary self! Thank you!
Thankyou!Thankyou!Thankyou! You solved my problem for drawers slides in a blind corner cabinet. My wife will be so pleased. This has been a bain of my existence for about 5 years. Never entered my mind to put them on the bottom parallel to each other.
Cristiana, You are so talented. In the shop, playing music, or behind the camera... Thanks for your descriptive voiceover, your explanations are great. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for including your mistakes and problem solving process. It is so helpful and encouraging to see someone work through the inevitable problems that will arise!
She is super talented, isn't she! I wish I could get her into my garage to not only regularly inspire me, but to help me get organized enough of a shop to do what she does! She's got a ton of talent! She's definitely top tier in skillsets!
I can barely use a hammer, and I am watching these videos! Not only are your designs beautiful and efficient, but your presentation -- the filming and your humour -- is just so engaging and inspirational. Thank you -- I may now learn how to use a hammer, and more!
A friend asked me why I was watching these videos. My reply - "It's a pleasure to watch a truly competent person work on a project, see it come to life before your eyes, and look at the beautiful end results." I'm not going to do what Cris does, but it is a pleasure to watch them work.
So obsessed with your furniture builds...You're like the Portuguese version of IKEA...I wanna be you when I grow up...I'm 57 and afraid of powertools, but still...Lol ;)
Every time I see someone gettin the sawing machine ready to work it seems magic to me. My mother was a seamstress and I'm amazed every single time. Magic, nothing less!
I think you're super smart for thinking of all those things and foreseeing them before application. It may just be experience, but it still demands a great deal of creativity and problems solving skills.
A nice solution with the trapezoidal drawers. This sofa loos very Scandinavian, as you use every space available to maximum effect. Your compact apartment must amaze everyone who see it.
I'm a semi-retired joiner, wooden boat builder and general fixer of things ... seriously impressed by your design ideas, your multi-skilled craftsperson abilities, your attention to detail and ...well; everything. Seriously, seriously impressed. Chapeau.
I used to do furniture re-upholstery, a long time ago, But I have to tell you the way you pieced the foam together to make the arm, is exactly how we did it to make custom cushions. I like your work, you have a wonderfully diverse skill set, and I look forward to watching more of your videos. :)
Great work, so innovative. Thank you for sharing this with us, but also thank you for showing your mistakes. It is very encouraging for learners like me to see that accomplished makers like yourself make mistakes too, but then show you how they put them right. Thanks again.
Watching you work is a real joy. You're so smart and skilled, I love how much thought went into everything, but how you weren't afraid to make mistakes, either!
I am so excited to see and watch this video which I found to be the best video everseen, in my home we are buy ready made ones furnitures never try to do such thing although minimum tools are available in the country. I really appreciated young lady effort of making this professional task. I encourage you to do so and willing to get for you a market in East Africa if you are willing to.
such a cool build. i sewed my couch cover and pillow covers with zips by guessing.would have been nice to see this video first. pinning takes forever love the tape. super pro build..thanks for sharing
What a remarkably impressive person. I deeply admire the level of skill, as well as the breadth of your skillset. Seriously blown away by how knowledgable and capable you are as an individual, thank you for the video and I hope to make something similar for my home some time soon!
What an inspiring video, thank you for that excellent work! For anyone interested in making the cushion covers, don’t forget to backstitch a few stiches at the beginning and end of each seam, to make sure it is nice and strong 🙂
Only finding out about this video now, as I'm looking for this type of Murphy bed for my place in Spain. Sooooo cool, you have inspired me to make my hands dirty!
You are an inspiration to me. I want to learn to do stuff like this myself. I am so tired of trying to make things fit in this rental apartment by buying big box store stuff.
okay, 1. I find this video super relaxing 2. you're so great! you make the sofa, and the cushion, and not to forget film it on a great angle! great work!
I really like how you keep mistakes in to show how you fix them and roll with the punches adding a strip of wood to overcut board was genius thanks for tip
Great Video -Thank you for posting! I can't say that I will dare to make this myself but it was very nice to watch you do this. I wish I could do this for my brother!
I make mistakes all the time and learn from them. If I see other people make mistakes I learn from them. Its very useful to see you make mistakes and is a sign of your strength as a maker, not a weakness. This is a great build and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Very nice work, Cris! Even if you don't like sewing, you're pretty good at it! I am a bit envious of the Festool Domino thingy - I am still stuck at the small biscuit style fasteners, but they work well enough for me, so that I always shy away from that hefty price tag... It's a bit sad, that you lose access to the small compartment underneath the bed behind the couch, but I guess that was unavoidable to keep the strength of the side walls of the bed. This will be a spectacular apartment, once it is finished! Great job so far!
Michael Rommel Thank you very much Michael! Yes, it was unavoidable to lose that bottom space but anyway, if I reaaally want, I can still use it to put things I grab once a year or so 😂 and move the sofa away. Cheers!
Wow, great job. You are so clever. I have been sewing over 50 years and I loved your trick for using the sticky tape while installing the zippers. I could have really used that idea through the years. Thanks 😊
I like how you keep your mistakes in the video, and just show how you fixed the problem... also this is a pretty sweet build I want it for my apartment.
Holy cow. You are AMAZING. It blows my mind how much patience you have to complete such a big project. And, love your hair cut. And mad drumming skills. Great job on every single aspect of this video.
What a great project! So much fun to watch you build the couch and the murphy bed. First time I've seen one of your videos. You have a great teaching style! Keep up the great work. :)
very well done, loved watching the process and really appreciated the small details where you could really see you take a bit more time to make sure YOU were happy with it. well done
That angular trapezoidal drawer... amazing!!! Only something you could do on your own... without having to fork out a fortune, or search high and low for someone willing to do it.
Your DIY project is almost dustless..im impress not only you did the sofa,you make those cushions as well. Thought earlier you bought those cushions!👍👍👍
