DIY outdoor sofa from IKEA storage boxes ☀️ DIY IKEA Hack

[@ActuallyAlli]

This sofa is the perfect addition to my balcony 😍 The patio makeover is heading your way next. Is anyone else is excited to see the full transformation? 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@pattimercer9357]

Addition.😊

[@ActuallyAlli]

@@pattimercer9357 oops! 😅 That's what I get for posting that comment while also being busy at work 😂

[@janee9533]

Turned out great and you had a vision. Add some plants, outdoor rug ,and table and it’s a new space

[@ActuallyAlli]

That's all part of the upcoming makeover 😉 I cannot wait to share the full reveal!!

[@celebkiriedhel]

Really clever - especially using the mending plates. Looks good too!

[@ActuallyAlli]

They're the perfect way to make this both simple and temporary. I just thought of this, but it will also make it easier to store at the end of the season too

[@bree8150]

What an excellent DIY, Alli! I foresee many epic relaxation sessions on that outdoor sofa! ☀️ 📚 😴

[@ActuallyAlli]

Thanks Bree! I'm so ready to spend lots of time on my patio this summer (though hopefully it gets less rainy here soon, so I actually can)

[@pamdavis6604]

Ya know if your neighbors would understand its privacy for them too. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@CraftingMyBestLifewithLisa]

I love this idea so much! I might have to try it. Bravo Alli! 🥰🤗

[@sarahwhiting325]

Gorgeous and original well done you!

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

You can get a toner to make your stain more closely resemble that on the IKEA pieces.

[@ActuallyAlli]

That's good to know! I originally planned to get the deck stain a custom color tint, but no one at the hardware store would help me at the paint counter 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@verarosenberry2638]

I also live in an apartment and I have learned so much from you how to fix my place up..thank u

[@marcrobson1517]

couldn't you have bought a nicer ready made outdoor sofa for that much ?

[@lauriepayseur5897]

Very clever! Looking forward to the next one. ❤

[@ActuallyAlli]

I can't wait to share it!! I think it turned out better than my expectations 😍

[@MariaSimpson-rp1os]

Smart ideas! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@ActuallyAlli]

Thank you! I think these boxes were the perfect fit to turn into patio furniture

[@diannahartin8394]

Genius as always ❤

[@ActuallyAlli]

Thank you so much 💜💜💜

[@yvonnedeestanaland6860]

So awesome! I did something similar, but got my stuff from Goodwill. ❤

[@ActuallyAlli]

That's so smart! I don't know what it is about where I live but none of the thrift stores nearby sell furniture! I always wonder where they take it

[@erickapoletti2053]

Very cool! Love it.

[@ActuallyAlli]

Thank you!!

[@JaniceKirchoff-yz6bs]

Looks great!

[@ActuallyAlli]

Thank you!

[@ourdoubledragons]

You may have mentioned this previously, but where do you store all your tools when not in use? I always want to get ALL the things, but I don't know where they will "live." Love this patio!

[@KarMa-ws3ll]

hey Im not Ally but I had the same problem - i store them in under-the-bed boxes from ikea. Very organized and the boxes are big enough to even hold my saw.

[@Mandy-q6c]

I saw the “blue bag” filled with other items when putting boxes on dolly. Can’t just get item you go in for😂

[@ActuallyAlli]

Haha that's the truth!! 😂 I figured since I was there, I might as well pick up some things for future videos!

[@TheTatetita]

Good job!!! Where did you buy the cushions?

[@el-ug8zx]

We don't have Ikea in nz yet, how do I know if a storage box will support peoples weight for making into a sofa?

[@abrarsbt5710]

awasome❤

[@JavierElenes-p7f]

So Genius!!!

[@ActuallyAlli]

Thank you!!

[@ShayiSanchez]

Amazing!!!!!!

[@jekastojanovic282]

Those wire chairs are Ikea are actually not new. They had them back in 90s. My mom had a pair in our living room growing up and they brought them back. They are oddly comfy but they will leave grill marks on the back of your thighs haha

[@ActuallyAlli]

Oh that's so interesting and cool you had them growing up! I had seen they were bringing back some of their older designs, and I didn't realize this was one of them. The grill marks part is so funny though!

[@pamdavis6604]

You are so real, jus love your channel. Wish you and your boyfriend many happy days/ nights on your new patio. Stay sweet as you are. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kellymckie119]

[@ActuallyAlli]

Thanks for watching!

[@PSA3377]

Ikea is so expensive. You could hv made something equally cool but with pallets ❤

[@AM-qp2wx]

A patio loveseat from Walmart would have been cheaper.
