  • 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 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 KZhead Channel!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Love the idea for diffused lighting using the semi-transparent cutting board -- one of my pet peeves is when bulbs show and it's too bright in one's eyes. This is a perfect hack. Love the kitty litter cabinet (MEOW). The painted table & chairs are perfection. I'm so impressed with everything you did. Where did you learn to use all the tools and build things? I don't even know how to use my cordless drill.

  • The cat litter box cabinet is my fave.. (although, I’d need to ask a couple of my brothers to help as I’ve no tools, or experience using them. I’ve also saved this video, so I can re-watch it & jot down the list of all I need as well as the the process & from start to completion on which you did it).. The 2nd fave is the sisal covered table legs. Even though I’ve a cat tree they’ve pretty much scratched most of the sisal on the front & side legs & im unsure if it can be taken apart again to switch up the non scratched back legs with the ruined 1’s..? (If so, I’m gonna try that & also a tip for any cat owners, is when your kitty has lost interest in certain items. Spray them sparingly with a good quality cat nip spray.. I switch Abt their toys & tunnels etc & give them a fresh squirt of catnip spray. As if they’ve too many toys laying around they soon get bored. Or don’t know what to play with bc there’s so many, they’re poss overwhelmed) Thanks so much for sharing some really cool, inexpensive IKEA hacks that any1 can do.. (in my case, with help.) But I’m poss not alone in that, as I’m very new to up-cycling furniture & haven’t ever customised existing furniture to make something brilliant & unique from it!! So many folks like yourself have great ideas, but not Every1 who has them, bothers to share them with others. So that’s very much appreciated. 🥳💝🎉
