DIY Desk Build | IKEA HACK

[@sherrybanks2123]

Kudos to you for taking this and making it your own. I love that you had a vision and were able to bring it to life!! Great job!

[@donnabuckner2689]

Great touch adding the back stop.

[@DallasGraves]

Showed my daughter this video and we replicated the desk here at home. Thanks for sharing this!!!

[@bluemoon6481]

You are so creative I love all you DIYs they are kind of complicated but my husband can do it he has all the tools, thank you for sharing your channel deserves more subscribers!

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thank you so much! It does take some tools to build, but it's not too too bad. It was a great couple project for us - maybe something for you two to work on together :) Thanks for the sweet comment

[@jacquelinemotomura4902]

I can’t believe how gorgeous this came out!!! I wish I had carpenter skills. it would save me tons on money

[@terrythomas830]

Wow super awesome job. I really like how you added wood to the shelves to give it a higher end look and the piece you added to the top. It did two things it filled the space that had a gap and now stuff won’t fall off behind the top. Also it looks great🥰

[@carolcurtis2220]

Looks great. The back plinth makes it look very professional and everything will stay on the desk instead of possibly falling down the back. 10 out of 10. Lol

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thanks for the high score, lol! The plank was an afterthought that actually made the whole piece come together. Funny how those things happen. Thanks so much again!

[@donniep.1513]

How could anyone thumbs down this video?! She took inspiration from a $300 desk and made it for super cheap.

[@TheDailyDIYer]

+Donnie P. THANK. YOU. 🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sharonlatour6230]

Shannon, I think that desk is so cute!! Great job from you and hubby!

[@jodylebouton9436]

Much nicer than the inspiration desk. I like the back you put on and will add it to mine made from crates.

[@patricejean-pierre5614]

Oh my goodness! I absolutely love this DIY! You & your husband did such an amazing job! I want to do this for my workspace.

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thank you! Me and hubby had fun making it together. Lucky for me he just rolls with my ideas, lol! You can adjust the size to work for your space. That's what I love so much about custom builds like this.

[@butterfliesandlullabiesnur8817]

Turned out awesome! I really like the 2x6 turned upright on the back. Gives it a very nice finished look! Tfs

[@carmengmartinez]

Beautiful! I wish I had that skill with tools!

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thank you! It took me awhile to get used to working with tools, but once you start you get hooked!

[@latoyawilliams32]

This is great! I need to make a desk for my kids!

[@trudysenglishvictorianhome3244]

What a beautiful desk 💖💖💖. I loved seeing you and Hubby working together! You guys look so cute 😊😊

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Awe! THANK YOU! We enjoy being able to create things together. It's sort of become our hobby.

[@haxyquinn]

That was a smart solution for the gap, you work great together, cool result

[@TheDailyDIYer]

+Haxy Quinn Thanks!! ❤️

[@dannyl6507]

love the desk top... i think i will use this for my new desk, but ill use 2 wood filing cabinets with pull out drawers for the base. great video thanks for sharing!

[@MiriamTV2]

It's always so fun to hear IKEA product names pronounced in different languages for a Swede. XD Hyllis literally means 'Shelfie' by the way.

[@TotoroLoveingAnimeGirl]

Wow. I actually thought the inspirational piece was really ugly, but the one you made looks super nice!!

[@vickyhunt9680]

Just discovered your channel a week or so ago and have loved watching your videos. You and your hubby remind me of myself and mine. We love DIY projects and we have such similar styles. I LOVE this project and am thinking about it for my craft room! Keep up the amazing work!

[@vickyhunt9680]

I almost forgot to ask! Where did you get the galvanized perpetual calendar? I love it!

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thank you! I am glad my hubby doesn't mind joining me for some of the bigger projects. I think he gets a little jealous of me always using the power tools around here, lol!

[@TheDailyDIYer]

My mom actually find the calendar at Dollar General and picked it up for us. Isn't that crazy??

[@vickyhunt9680]

Thanks for letting me know....I went to my DG after work yesterday and they had one left! Have a great weekend!

[@cindysimoes2260]

LOVE your work...another beautiful creation...can't wait to see what's next!!! TY , for sharing

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thanks you!

[@quiltedquickerpicker]

wow! looks very premium and probably a lot more durable than a store bought desk that needs to be assembled anyways xD

[@berylparker7306]

Loving the desk. The process is too much for old lady like me. I will use same concept but with bookcases and pre built shelves. Thanks for the inspiration.!!!!!! :)

[@JCC_1975]

It turned out beautiful 💜

[@femalehustlecowithzee]

This came out really nice!

[@OurTinyCozyCasita]

Love this style of desk amazing job👍🏽 and on a budget 😀

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thanks! Yes, I believe it was under $75 in supplies for this build. The inspiration was $300 - so a good amount of savings!

[@rosal.3520]

Really nice! Big Thumbs up!

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Big thank you!! :)

[@builtbyjessie2209]

Looks amazing. Nice job!

[@MemoryLaneKeepsakes]

[@TheDailyDIYer]

[@marylesueur868]

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thank you! I love having a desk we can all work at now! And it fits right in with our decor.

[@janiewarre9941]

How fantastic is this.

[@TheJuleBoxStudios]

Looks awesome!! Great job! I think it looks better than the inspiration photo you shared😉

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thank you so much!

[@cherylmcdonald9368]

Really nice you did a great job!

[@aaanathema]

Very nice work! :)

[@HeatherMoxieDIYed]

This is awesome! I love the galvanized look & the 2X6 adds a nice finishing touch :)

[@TheDailyDIYer]

+Heather Moxie DIY ❤️❤️❤️

[@shellydwatson]

So excited to see this! It looks great, girl! I absolutely love that stain! I have an Ikea about 35 minutes from me and I keep meaning to go. Guess I really have an excuse now! :)

[@TheDailyDIYer]

YES GO TO IKEA! I wish I could go every day, lol! Too many awesome things there. Ours is about 45 minutes away, so not bad.

[@shellydwatson]

I hear ya! I went once when the DFW area finally got one and it was awesome...I just haven't gotten back out that way since then. I want some of those bag holder/vinyl holders and to redo my living room, so I definitely will be going. I think I saw that shipping was pretty high if you order online? It would definitely be worth it to make the trip out there. :)

[@TheDailyDIYer]

We didn't get an IKEA till a couple of years ago. I had been really missing out before that. Shipping is CRAZY expensive. If you live close, definitely worth the drive. I have those bag holders for vinyl too. Works great! I tried to talk hubby into the white Ektorp (sp?) couches... but with two kids he was right to be worried about that purchase. Glad we went with the dark brown leather instead. Makes my life easier that way.

[@sandramiranda4212]

Beautiful job!!

[@Angelkjr]

Very nice job!

[@blancalamas3785]

Awesome job I would love to see you build a leaning desk for small spaces one day.

[@dalataylor5806]

Looks awesome, you did a great job! Enjoyed your video

[@vickylongcrier2376]

Love it! You are so talented! Thanks for sharing this and making me believe I could do it too!

[@GypsyWoman408]

Beautiful work✨

[@1972southpaw]

Hey Shannon, just came across your channel about a week or so ago. And very quickly subscribed. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your style. I am so glad I found you. I have a Silhouette Cameo sitting in the other room that I have been too nervous to use but you have inspired me not to be intimidated and just start using it!! Thank you!! Hugs!! Carrie

[@TheDailyDIYer]

YAYYYY!!!!! That's amazing! So glad you are giving it a try! Check out the Silhouette School blog. Lots of great helpful tutorials there if you are just getting started or have questions. Glad you found my channel and thanks for the sweet comment!

[@dezeme01]

Love all you diy's, amazing and professional. Would love to see a cost breakdown and the time spent making the item. Even without it, I will still watch. ;)

[@ChibiChula]

Very well done! Only thing I might have done differently is maybe flip the metal shelf pieces upside down and made it so the wood actually fits inside. That would give a tiny bit more space between the selves for items.

[@TheDailyDIYer]

+ChibiChula That's a GREAT idea!!! 🙌🏻❤️

[@create.n.capture]

Came out awesome!

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thank you!!! Sitting at it now reading comment :) Loving it!

[@TopiaJenni]

You are very good! I think I want to do this desk for my son's room! 😍👏

[@bridgetumphryes3368]

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thank you so much! I love that you can create something custom and save money at the same time.

[@thursdaywashington6983]

Great Job !

[@MonaKempton-dz5bz]

Oh my goodness, love this idea.. I enjoy all I do, what a creative lady.. Would u happen to have the supply list ?

[@TheDailyDIYer]

+Mona Kempton Thanks!!! You'll need: 2 Hyllis shelves, 1x12', 2x12x10, 2x6x8 (for materials). Hope that helps!

[@Staciek76]

This came out great! I wish i had wood working skills!

[@IamNinetyFour]

Thank you so much for making this! I'm thinking of making this with an 8' x 4' instead of a split 12' x 2'. Plan is to cut a foot off the width and use it as the back-raised edge.

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Great idea!! Best wishes with your project!

[@sharlenedauberman9151]

Beautiful! !

[@juliagoolia72]

[@TheDailyDIYer]

+Frances Haynes De vine Life Wishing I could give you a hug. Not sure how I'd make it without my hubby. However he is a very hard worker and firefighter so he's not around a lot. That's why I can do all of these projects now. I just learned to do things for myself because he isn't always there. I hope that inspires you to try some new things. If I can do it, anyone can.

[@franceshaynesdevinelife6874]

The Daily DIYer Thanks so much for responding to me with hugs..felt it all the way here in nawlings😉. That which sincerly, comes from the heart, reaches the he heart!! Thank you...
