DIYing ikea cupboards into a kitchen island | small space work from home desk

[@jaquixo665]

I love how confident Rochelle has grown in front of the camera! She's truly a lovely addition to the team

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

She's become my favorite sorry girl! ❤😊

[@zoebell462]

I was just coming to the comments to say the same thing! Love watching her get more and more comfortable each video.

[@cassiecanter3884]

She’s so adorable and TALENTED!! Love her…❤

[@myrnashoults9735]

Forget the camera confidence; she OWNS those power tools/workshop! Holy crap young lady, impressive!

[@rides2fly]

Me too - go Rochelle!

[@LukMcKain]

To absolutely no one’s surprise, Rochelle murdered this assignment. Incredible! Bravo! 🎉👏

[@marim0y]

Dead and buried. She's amazing.

For real, we need keychains or something lol

Me too!

[@lauragus4728]

Don’t throw away the “dirt” from the plainer! If you mix it with glue you can make wood filler in the exact color of your wood 🤍

[@CleaTV]

Yes, it's great! Glue + water + wood chips work pretty well. But I've noticed that hand-sanded sawdust is better to use than machine-made sawdust. That's because the hand-sanded dirt is much thicker than the other. And when you do your final sanding, with machine sawdust the wood filaments can more easily go off in one block. That doesn't happen with fine dust.

[@OceanLover1188]

They literally already made a video where one of them used that trick in a project.

I’d love to see a Rochelle and Graham from Team AG collab! Both incredibly talented wood workers

[@AmazingLi85]

..yeah me too..Graham and Rochelle in one makeover..it would be soooo stunning

[@lwahethabdo7071]

Rochelle is crazy talented 👏🏻

[@GabiDAmico]

A Rochelle video on a Saturday morning?? What a treat

[@rachelm9925]

Just casually chucks together a kitchen island with DIY worktop... no biggie! Such a talent!

[@TheSorryGirls]

stay tuned for the makeover reveal on Feb 13th! The island looks amazing in the space!

[@susankilpatrick2918]

Rochelle you have such an fantastic home shop! It would be amazing to have a tour of it one day in a video! 🗜️🪚🧰⚙️🪛🔨👷🏼‍♀️

[@TheSorryGirls]

maybe one day 😏!

[@acflnnr]

I'd love to know the general sections to organize things in... I always feel lost by the amount of different tools and glues and such.

[@rachelm9925]

Great call! I feel like there is a whole story on Rochelle's talents- that set up is professional ❤️

[@TamarLitvot]

@@TheSorryGirls I have a vague memory of you talking about your mother's workshop -- is that it?

[@MarieCool888]

Yayyy a new Rochelle video ! I love seeing you, we need more of your videos 💖

[@TheSorryGirls]

more How To Go Do's with Rochelle are coming!

[@TKitzu]

I've watched other woodworking only channels and unless I missed it no one has mentioned snipe, Rochelle is a wealth of knowledge

[@alanax_]

love that you left a little message on there, that's so sweet

[@jeannawalton8107]

Rochelle, you rock! I am always so impressed with your ability to get these pieces functional and looking great!

[@michaelacd]

Rochelle you are EVERYTHING. As a long time fan of the show I love seeing a fellow melanated queen!!!!!

[@SpazzyArtist135]

Rochelle you are amazing!!!!! I love seeing you tackle longer videos where we really get to see your process. I can’t wait to see more of you in the future!!

[@katrinarefior700]

That kitchen island turned our gorgeous! Well done Rochelle.

[@TheSorryGirls]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@jeanettekakareka]

I appreciate Rochelle using some Ikea cabinets as a base because it makes a project like this slightly more accessible for less wood-working-mega-talented people. Like, I'm still probably not gonna peg together a DIY counter top, but the skills are helpful to learn. 🤩

[@GabiBorja]

Rochelle is just such a pro. I am so happy she is enjoying being part of this team. Feels like such a great spot for her 💕

[@Madebylauli]

The little snack break was adorable!

[@TheSorryGirls]

there's always time for a snack break 😏

[@Impala_Lily]

Beautiful! Classy! I love the fresh of breath air that Rochelle has brought to TSG channel.

[@ambersampson744]

The talent in this video is off the charts.

[@whatlolawants2167]

Rochelle, I felt so bad for you when the plugs were too short! That is an amazing island, you knocked me in to another galaxy with that countertop! I can completely understand why you wanted to make it. I love wood grains and it has such beautiful ones. Fabulous job!

[@heatherburke9583]

I've watched a lot of youtubers plane stuff (lol) and this is first time I've heard of snipe! Thx rochelle

[@TheSorryGirls]

glad you enjoyed!

[@lechatbotte.]

Sawdust is great for so many things, I never throw mine away. This is such a cool project

[@katjaambord9482]

The Sorry Girls can be proud to have you on board. Love you clean execution.

[@striketochill]

Rochelle, you are awesome and your skill level has SERIOUSLY leveled up TSG makeovers. The team is so lucky to have you!!! Keep killin it

[@kellycappiello]

Rochelle is incredible! Her skills have elevated TSG’s content to a whole new level.

[@geechegal987]

Absolute Boss, I love how much knowledge you have and share, your eye for detail and courage to take on complex projects! great addition to the team ! LOVE

[@rileygabriel6700]

I love Rochelle build videos!

[@sherryberryblueberry6156]

Love all of you and watching you inspire and create. It is always a joy to watch Rochelle and admire her work.

The chautruse and white background is everything! 👌🏻

[@foxymama9203]

Truly beautiful!!! Rochelle is so talented and a great addition to the camera facing team, I have learned so much from her!!

[@lindadelacy9330]

Love the animal footprints in the snow! So beautiful... You are amazing, Rochelle!! It's unbelievable how perfectly you made the island!!! I'm so impressed with your skills and knowledge. Did you take classes in woodworking or did you have a mentor? I'd love to learn some wood skillage!! You rock, as usual!

[@jurrekarre]

I love when Rochelle builds things! Great addition to the channel!

[@machtelddevries]

Off course Rochelle has a planer and a table saw at home. Now I want them too. Loooove this video.

[@HanneM]

love what rochelle has brought to the sorry girls! her projects are amazing!

[@katsleggsful]

Beautiful job, as usual Rochelle! I love this idea for an Ikea hack. You are awe inspiring for girl power!!!! 😃

[@TheSorryGirls]

that's so sweet, thank you!! ❤️❤️

[@antonellamichelli9854]

Rochelle's videos, my absolute favorite!!

[@deborahmiller8650]

Rachelle, you did a fabulous job on this island. I loved the look of the pole wrap and the color for the work surface. I was impressed with the desk you made for Kelsey's boyfriend, so I knew you would blow this DIY out of the park. I would love to receive such a wonderful gift from my co-workers. Until your next video, happy crafting. ~Debi in Ohio

[@cames-w6u]

Love Rochelle's vibe. Stunning piece

[@ChrisieCouncil]

Rochelle does it again! You are so smart and talented. Not to mention gorgeous! Your humility and authenticity is what makes you most fun to watch for me! You are like a breath of fresh air! ❤

[@mssaylav1]

This was awesome, Elliot’s desk was amazing ❤

[@PeacockEarings]

For snipe "send a shorter sacrificial board before and after the piece you are planing. This smaller board gets the snipe and the board in the middle does not. You need to push the boards right up against each other so it simulates being just one board going through. This method works very well and is one of the best ways to reduce snipe."

[@cynthusinfinite]

Gem addition to the SorryGirls. I'd love to start a new career and be your apprentice. Great job!!

[@iamkid_a]

i love this so much and seeing rochelle's woodworking skills on display! pls get her better audio 💕 she deserves it. i'd love a workshop tour of hers 👀

[@ginrobi01]

Rochelle abso-freaking-lutely killed that project! If my kitchen was wider, I'd want that exact same thing! Chef's kiss!!!

[@ConservativeVeteran]

Rochelle, you are such a team player and a great addition to TSG!

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Oh I am loving this kitchen island from the Ikea cupboards. Rochelle you are truely so amazing in all the projects that you can do. You are a great addition to the team, and thanks again for sharing this wonderful video. Have a beautiful and blessed day, sending love and hugs, bye! 😃🥰🤗👋👍🙏💞💜💜

[@wanaking5368]

Rochelle you are incredibly talented. Also can we get a tour of the basement it looks insane 🥰🥰 it’ll so cool to talk through all the things you’ve made. I could only conclude that you made all those shelves

[@TheSorryGirls]

Maybe one day!

[@KarenFaithVlogs]

Such a great great outcome tho I never really doubted Rochelle’s capabilities 👏🏼👏🏼

[@tylercoomes9139]

It may sound silly from a grown adult, but i want to be Rochelle "when i grow up." Keep inspiring us to one day do what we're passionate about!!

[@sheilagiles3333]

Rochelle, you are the bomb! I totally enjoy your segments. Sorry Girls you’ve got the eye for DIY talent. I love how your team is growing.🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

[@littleleafy]

Rochelle looking like an absolute boss in those sunglasses carrying that lumber 🕶

[@debra2415db]

Rochelle you always go above and behond, your attention to detail, you integrity, and such a classy professional. Love all your video's.

[@phoebe5715]

Impressive! My only worry is that I assume cabinet handles like those are usually installed vertically for ergonomic reasons. Your wrist will naturally fold when opening a vertical handle but isn’t able to bend sideways with a horizontal one. I also think the vertical handles would’ve complimented the lines in the wood panelling but it’s just a thought! Still looks great 🫶

[@peggynorton5145]

I love this!!! Prettier than most store bought islands for sure!!!

[@pmg7538]

This is a lovely island. I would love to see it in my home if my kitchen was bigger. I'm so impressed with how conscientious every choice was and how well made it is. I learned some new skills and tricks as well. One thing I might add would be a shallow shelving unit to the middle area, which would add some storage for the cook and close it up visually from the sitter's side.

[@pmg7538]

Forgot to add that the shelving unit I might add would have a solid back so the shelves are visible only to the cook. Also ketchup chips are a new thing to me! (in the U.S.)

[@alexberg8662]

Such a cool piece! And Rochelle, you're becoming more entertaining by the minute, thank you!

[@TheSorryGirls]

Wow, thank you!

[@Shooshoobella7]

[@veronicam.hernandez5351]

Rochelle is so talented. Love the island.

[@bumblebee_ms]

Excellent job Rochelle. The side supports would have been really good as open shelving, if the style wasn't to be closed. But the end result is amazing.

[@Eve.Daniels]

Rochelle is back! I love watching her find her vibe and her voice in front of the camera. As she's grown in personal confidence her presentation style is shifting a little less instructional and a little more conversational, you know? When really makes it easier to connect with her through the screen 😊
