[@mariabrewer5504]

Wow! They turned out so well! You did an amazing job. Love the color too.

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Thank you! The color is Sherwin Williams Naval.

[@nans969]

That looks great. Love the color.

[@RavenVargas27]

OMG it's gorgeous the painted parts make the natural wood tops pop even more your amazing

[@CinthyaRudder]

This looks fantastic! I would recommend to paint the bright white outlet cover the same color of the wall. ❤

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

You are so right! I may do that at some point. Our paper shredder is actually in front of it, so you don’t actually see it anyways.

[@Scarlet-qg1xi]

Or brass colored?

[@brandonsnyder628]

I want to do something with my hemnes and you’ve just solved of my problems.

[@llc1976]

I love the color! Beautiful!

[@diannerempel8262]

You did such a good job! I can't wait to see it styled!

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Thank you! I’m waiting on my drapes to arrive Wednesday to finish up!

[@sandragentz9442]

That came out great 🎉. I want to do something like that in my living room. Thanks for the video

[@debrarosso2964]

Love it thank you for sharing your project can’t wait to see the finished look

[@genebooher1778]

Wow , that is beautiful and love the color looks high class most ppl do white or black only you really stepped it up . Congrats

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Thanks! The rest of my house is mostly neutrals, I do a lot of zoom meeting with design clients and a wanted color in the background so they’d be open to color too!

[@thenotoriousstg]

This looks great! Great job!

[@amaraMercado-jm9uu]

[@kangreno]

[@SoniaDuranSoniaMartell]

Love the way it turned out! Looks great!

[@LilTwitcher]

beautiful job!

[@WondersNeverCease]

You did a great job!

[@naomistoneham8107]

You did a brilliant job ❤

[@PatriciaMuirMaestroQ]

Clear vision, patience, and trust in your capabilities.. congratulations. For someone who is not a “professional woodworker”, your attention to fine-detailing and quality is the mark of a professional.. Wonderful work. I wonder if a horizontal brace under the floating desktop might have worked well considering that you could not find a wire-free position to drill into the back wall.

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Thanks so much! It was one of those projects that took way longer than I thought it would. For the floating desk, I was able to get two brackets into studs and it holds the weight just fine. But you are right, a wood cleat would have worked also! I was over the trips to Home Depot though! 🙈

[@ginamiller6754]

It looks fantastic!! We are getting ready to do our office/library and want it to look built in but on a budget.

[@candacejones6459]

Brilliant! Way to go!

[@kala7278]

[@kasualkylie3039]

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Thank you so much!

[@hnia8298]

Looks great!

[@sharonb6751]

Great job!

[@eugsmiley]

6:30 Much easier than hacking apart the baseboard would be to chop the legs off the dressers and then build a 2"x4" or 2"x6" pedestal/platform to sit the dresser on. A LOT less effort and it'll be hidden by your molding wrap.

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Good tips! I love learning new things!

[@marypritchett1382]

You did a great job, I'm loving the look and want to try it myself. I would like to know the measurements of your room, it looks a lot like mine, thank you for sharing, you really inspired me!

[@jeanninejohnson1861]

How would that sit flush against the wall with no gap?

[@theresacurrin6395]

Wow! You did an awesome job 👏👏👏. Looks great ❤

[@natashalucero733]

Wow 🎉 you go girl !

[@davidlee3203]

[@stacidavidson1496]

How did you secure bookshelves to butcher block and wall?

[@mpo3565]

Was this ever answered ?!

[@melanies-c2z]

what color is this?beautiful

[@AddiePensa]

Hi! How did you attach the shelves to the butcher block?

[@WondersNeverCease]

I guess we’ll never know 😮

[@MM-bw1lo]

amazing

[@lorikegley3327]

Beautiful!

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Thank you!

[@LoganFontenot-c7z]

How wide was that wall? Great job

[@samanthanicholson9015]

Thanks for sharing, was the cabinet wood or MDF? Idk I'd like to do that to two book shelves but mine I'd think it could be blown out and not work. Thanks for posting

[@ceriel1808]

Hello there. This is beautiful. What size are the dressers?

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Thanks! They are the Hemnes 3 drawer dressers from ikea.

[@Rienie]

How did you solve the leg situation with the cabinet sitting on top? I want to try it for myself

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

I cut them off.

[@Rienie]

@@theinteriorlyfe2043 and it was still stable without it? Good to know 😊

[@johansoriano2670]

hi what size are your baseboards? great job

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Thanks! They are 5 3/4”.

[@monicaboston8123]

I want to do something like this but I am so scared! 😅😂

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

It took me 4 years to get up the courage! I do not have a builders brain and it took me months of measuring and planning. I’m sure someone else could do it in an hour. I will admit, I cussed a lot, but I also learned a lot! You can do it!

[@natashalucero733]

What was the total cost of this project?

[@jaeseopark729]

good job!

[@AddiePensa]

Hi! How did you attach the shelves to the butcher block?
