I took lots of upholstery classes and upholstered a lot. Here is a trick I learned from Olie, my teacher, who was a professional upholster for 50 yrs. Take off the legs (or arms) if you can when upholstering. You will be able to pull the fabric and won't have the worry of y-cuts. So, in making your ottoman, you could have stapled on the fabric first, then added the screw on legs. Just a thought. I love your DIYs

I’ll be using that tidbit! Thanks

@cheryl5994 Месяц назад

I’M DOING A BEAUTIFUL, BUT OLD & TATTY WOODEN FOOTSTOOL, WHEN IT COMES TO UPHOLSTERING THE TOP, I’LL DEFINITELY KEEP THIS IN MIND. THANK YOU.

@eleanorwittering3126 Месяц назад

I love your ideas! Living in an apartment I have employed many of your ideas of decor that look permanent but are not. Recently had a routine inspection and the landlord said, "Where did you get all these ideas, man I wish all my tenants employed these ideas!" So, I gave her your RU-vid Channel!

@juliecaron7569 6 месяцев назад

The cat litter box is pure genius! So brilliant and beautiful!

@chickenlady3155 4 месяца назад

Of all the things you did, the one thing I liked best was that little tip about using a plastic cup to catch the dust when drilling a hole in the ceiling. I've done a lot of DIY over the years, and I can't believe I didn't come up with something like that to help cut down on cleanup time.

@lovly2cu725 Месяц назад

It's an old hack that I forgot about.

@veraspblife2070 Месяц назад

Вы серьезно? Даже я знала это давно😂😂😂

@EngineerYourSpace 8 месяцев назад

Yes! Thanks for being here 😄

@gingerzelidon3573 3 месяца назад

I love the room divider, the cat scratch post legs on the table and, the private kitty privy! So clever! Thanks for sharing!

@joannekaiser1380 3 месяца назад

Love the room divider, the kitchen cart/island, and the cat litter box “house”, which, I think is my favorite.

@HerculeseBaby 8 месяцев назад

Now these are some good hacks! Eyeshadow - clever! And I love how they are all inexpensive, practical and look good. IKEA and dollar store pieces all affordable - thank you 🙏

@JenShea 6 месяцев назад

Love the kitty litter hack and the double-sided picture frame… they were all great!

@sorapokeball 8 месяцев назад

I made a simplified version of your hidden litter box using the Vihals sideboard. I removed the right hand drawer for ventilation, the interior shelves and left most door. Then I made a large hole in the interior divider and covered the raw edges with foam window/garage door seal tape. It's not as sophisticated as yours, but was a lot easier for me to put together and lives in my closet where no one will see it. I'm grateful I had your video to inspire me!

@EngineerYourSpace 8 месяцев назад

Amazing, thank you for sharing! I love hearing how people reinvent my ideas for their space. 💕

@corireeves32 8 месяцев назад

Isabel I love all of the hacks - I love the divider wall - so simple and clean looking, but very customizable! Have to love the litter box as Lea is so adorable. Thanks for using affordable items but making them look high end.

@EngineerYourSpace 8 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! 😊

@heidisettles5537 8 месяцев назад

"The Best of Engineer Your Space!" These videos are a wealth of tips and creativity. You are one of the first DIY youtubers to really inspire me. More please...

@EngineerYourSpace 8 месяцев назад

Haha, I suppose this is a round up of some of my favorite projects I've done over the years. Thanks for being there for all of it 😄

@lindaroyal8161 8 месяцев назад

I used to watch your videos faithfully, then you disappeared. I was scrolling the other day an ran across this one, hope you're back doing videos. You always had good content, easy instructions, practical & affordable projects. TY.

@pamallen2498 8 месяцев назад

Your ideas are always amazing. You have the "silk purse out of a sows ear", idea down pat. Please keep up your ideas, they are always so helpful.

@ruthanderson1758 8 месяцев назад

Haven't seen a new video from you in ages so I really enjoyed this one. I think the dividing wall for your office is my favorite of these (including the hanging reversible picture frames).

@EngineerYourSpace 8 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

@chrishough692 8 месяцев назад

My favorite is the litter box. No more granules to step on! A small piece of artificial turf inside maybe good for getting the granules of their feet before they come out of the box! They’re all great ideas, thank you!

@bruninhamrso 8 месяцев назад

Loved the room divider

@vanessabanyas164 8 месяцев назад

I’ve never watched your channel before, and was very pleased to do so! You’re very handy, and definitely very creative!

@sul5707 6 месяцев назад

Loved the eyeshadow to hide the line trick!

@OcalaBrew 5 месяцев назад

I LOVE the kitty litter box! I too have a Cricut, so that part is a cinch! I think I will try to duplicate it to fit an area in my laundry room. I also like the look of the double sided picture frame. Those two look most do-able for me, but they are all great projects. Thank you!

@Pukekura35 8 месяцев назад

My favourite is the Dividing Wall Hack. It looks fantastic. You’re so clever!

@sushidushi8472 3 месяца назад

How clever the diffusing idea. All of these ideas are great

@brendazolli3059 8 месяцев назад

The eye shadow solution reminded me of when I was first married I tried my hand at wallpapering….what a disaster! The paper was bright red and rather thin. After the paste dried, the seams popped open making a red and white striped paper. So I took a red magic marker and colored in all the white bits. Really disguised the problem!

@cheryl5994 Месяц назад

I’M SO GLAD YR CHANNEL POPPED UP ON MY FEED, I LOVE HOW CREATIVE YOU ARE & THE VIDEOS YOU DO ARE THE BEST I’VE COME ACROSS. I’LL DEFINITELY BE A NEW SUBSCRIBER. ✌🏼😊 🇬🇧

I love your litter box ! It's because I have three cats and it ispires me. But all your ideas are very nice.

@blondebobbi4505 2 месяца назад

ALL of these are wonderful! I need a room divider so I think I might do that one. But I also like all the others, so... Hmmm. When will I get started... Hmmmm. Thank you so much for sharing these with us! I have to go to your page now and look for more!

I really cannot pick a favorite hack here. All of your hacks and diy's are awesome!

@TheWhitingale 4 месяца назад

Brilliant hacks! My favourite is the incased cat litter box. 🐈

@laurenragle5228 4 месяца назад

The wall-mounted switch and plug-in receiver look so cool! I'm definitely going to look into that for some of my lighting. Thanks for all the great ideas! 😊 Edit: My favorite hack is the table and chairs combo. It's making me think about "upgrading" my existing table and chairs at some point. 😊 I also really enjoyed the cork trivet door display and might do something super similar this coming winter season.

@BoppityBoopy 6 месяцев назад

I've also seen where the round object was traced onto paper, the circle cut out and folded in half, placed on the round object with the rounded edges lined up using the straight edge of the paper to trace a line down the middle of the object. Your way is much simpler, quicker and probably more accurate. Thanks.
