In my case, it's just because I didn't remove the old wood panels and added dry wall over them instead. I'm not sure what the best way is but since the slats are held vertically and say, compared to hanging from the ceiling, there isn't much force trying to pull them off the wall if they're well secured. So if I had not had wood underneath the dry wall, I think I might still have just used glue and brad nails. Maybe glued it more. It's just a guess, I didn't research it from that perspective. With some research, you'll have a good idea. Good luck!

@@MidCenturyStyle thank you. I tried to do research and seems like most people just glue and nail things to drywall

Thanks a lot!

Thank you!

Ohh... sorry to hear that. It's a bit my trademark, being happy and having fun doing projects, making it friendly. But it's ok! Thanks for stopping by anyway.

Hi Scott. Actually I did, as you can see in the video, and it made a difference. I just didn't know at first how to stain, being a newbie at this. The pre-stain coat might have provided a bigger benefit if I didn't wait so long between coats. First-timer's mistake I guess.

he also should've used the smaller side of the slat as spacing. It's way too apart

Thank you!

Thanks! 😊

Why not! Good luck and have fun!! 🙂

Thanks! Good luck!

@@MidCenturyStyle merci de Montréal 👍

Ah ben c'est donc ben l'fun! ☺@@breakcity4457

Ahah... maybe not, it's a long time friend but thanks! 🤣

Thanks!!

You probably already know but I just posted it yesterday! Enjoy!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you 🤗

Really? Oh that would be so sad! I’m going to check it out for sure! Thanks.

Ahah... I use my watch as a camera display (open the camera) to adjust my position before shooting and sometimes I leave it on for quick reference while I move around. Good catch! (otherwise it's the standard face in blue)

Thanks a lot!

Hello, thank you for your comment. I'm not sure if you mean a wall frame shadow box or something else. Could you please clarify or email me, it could certainly be a fun project to do! 😉

Thanks!

Thanks! I think I'll keep it short from now on... I mean the hair! 😇

Thank you!

Thank you! I still love it every day!

It's a wonderful little city, I really love it here. As they say on some obscure game show, Come on down... 😜

Thank you!

I don't anymore and this is the old logo. In some videos you might see me wearing a t-shirt with the new logo, it looks great. I might put them for sale one day...

I just replied for the sofa. Thanks

It's from the Palm Springs Revivals thrift store that benefits DAP Health. But they also sell brand new furniture and this one was on promo half price! Loved it right away!

Thank you!

Just to let you know Part 2 is now live! You might love this one even more 😇

Hi Liz. I’m often asked about that and it’s a fun story. This is a custom art that I made and it was the spark behind my online store and this channel. When I started redecorating the condo, I wanted a huge art to fill that big wall. During my research, I fell in love with 2 things: a famous 1970 photograph by Slim Aarons “Poolside Gossip” (scene reproduced there) and the mid-mod funky art of the California artist Josh Agle, known as Shag, who has a store in downtown Palm Springs (I’m a big fan! Look it up, he sells online too.). Both the photo reproduction and Shag original art were very expensive at a big size and still, none was big enough. So instead, being a graphic designer, I decided to create something myself by mixing those two ideas together: That famous photo but in the style of Shag. I traced everything in my computer, had it printed by Vistaprint and built a frame from scratch. The result is this 72"x48" glorious digital art. And when it was time to find throw pillows, I had also found out that you can have any design printed on multiple blank products. And the rest is history. That’s how the MidCentury.Style store was born with my exclusive designs and this big art project inspired me to be on KZbin. Of course, I can’t sell this particular image for obvious copyright reasons but at least you now know the story behind that picture. You’re making me realize I should make a video about it and use that as a welcome clip. I’m really sorry I can’t help you getting a copy of this image but thanks for reaching out!

Hi Miriam. Thanks for your nice comments. Yes, I did make a calculation. I first looked at a multiple between 2X and 3X (see the blog post of this project for more info, I'm adding the link below). I needed at least 3 packs (6 panels) according to my math. I bought an extra pack just in case (IKEA has a great return policy). Once the 6 panels were up, I felt the 4th pack would not be too much so I ended up with 8 panels totalling 456" on a 12' wall (comes down to a 3.17X ratio). We're often told 2.5X is the sweet spot but it depends on the window's location and the goal. In this case, the more pleats, the more luxurious it feels.

Ohhh such a lovely story! Thanks a million. Love to hear people getting inspired by diy ideas. I wish IKEA brought them back too, it was so versatile and cheap. Thanks!

Hi there. Here are the measurements for the opening: 25.5 in W x 6 in H. The depth is 11 flush from the front. Now this is for the “front” opening, meaning the space that would be covered by the front panel. You need to know that the drawer is slightly smaller than the finishing front panel. Which means that there’s an extra 1/2 in of space underneath. The front panel is 5/8” thick so the inner depth is closer to 10 3/8” deep if you use the extra height. I had the same issue myself because I inserted a fixture in one of these as a mood light and it was 1/4” too high to slide in. All I had to do is open the upper drawer to make extra height temporarily, insert the light in, and close back the top drawer. Also, don’t forget these units are hung on a rail that is screwed on the wall. I hope it helps. Good luck!

Not really. It's for knick-knacks. The inside doesn't go all the way to the back because of the mechanism I guess. Interior space is 24Wx4Hx9D. I hope it helps you! Thanks

Photo USA/Orca Coatings, blank product is an unknown brand, from China. Thank you!

Thank you Joann! It’s such a beautiful project, I enjoy it every day!

Thank you Ellen! 😊

Thank you!! 😊

Yes, isn't that cool? Sometimes we search too hard for amazing projects when the simplest things are so easy and beautiful and right in front of us! 😊

Ahah! Thanks 🙂

Thank you! It's a lot of fun.

Thanks! I will soon make a welcome video, I might add that, great idea!

Thank you!

Hi Salwa. I know I'm late to respond but I had your comment in mind and once my bedroom makevover was underway, I did realize that you're right, my duvet cover might not fit anymore. I'm working on something new. Stay tuned... and thanks.

@@MidCenturyStyle I like the duvet color with it.

Thank you!!
