Thank you all SO SO much for watching this video! 💜💜💜 I can’t tell you how humbled I am by the support and the sweet comments. You guys are the best! Here are some FAQs so far: Q: Why are labels where no one can see them? A: The labels are mainly for my family to know where to put things at when the drawer/cabinet is empty. They’re to make sure everything go back in it’s designated place. Q: What’s the name of the song at the end? A: It Should Have Been You x Loving Caliber Q: Where’s the girls’ bunk bed from? A: Birch Lane www.birchlane.com/baby-kids/pdp/bellmead-twin-over-twin-bunk-bed-gryl6582.html Q: How wide is your hallway? A: 37”

[@pamelanixon692]

I love this IKEA look, you did a good job.

[@homemakingherway]

Pamela Nixon thank you! 💜

[@jarquavius10]

I think it also makes for a cleaner look having the labels on the inside.

[@homemakingherway]

Magnificent Journey me too! Thank you! 💜

[@gurdeepbahra1830]

Amazing video and a great storage solution! Very brave of you to print the labels off beforehand haha. I always change my mind so I have to print labels off after I've put everything away. Thank you

[@dressageponi]

That stained top takes the cabinet to a whole new level! Beautiful!

[@MissJDH829]

I used this same hack in my kitchen because I have no pantry! Perfect for boxes of pasta, kids snacks, baby food, and condiments!

[@homemakingherway]

Oh wow! I would’ve never thought to use it like that. Such a good idea

[@chaneleva8838]

Great idea! I would love to see how that turned out.

[@jmobennett88]

I have to do that!

[@babycakes8434]

I would recommend regular drawers for food instead of these pull out. Smaller things will fly around for you if you pull them out like that. I use regular drawers everyday in my kitchen and they serve me well.

[@essiadeoliveira]

Baby Cakes regular drawers might not be an option in tight spaces though

[@RPLstudiocity]

This is such a smart, clever hack and turned out SO pretty! Using that stained wood top really made such a difference. Love it!

I actually own the taller one and never thought about getting the shorter ones. Girl about to put these in my living room for toy storage. Subscribed!

Sounds good to me! I’m always trying to find new ways to hide toys

[@TaliyahMC]

So Smart! By the way I was watching with my teen girls....they said "who is that, she is so pretty"

[@carleylesinski1538]

I love that you put the labels on the inside so you don’t see them when the drawer is closed!

[@homemakingherway]

Yesss! You get it! 😂Thank you💜

Me too !

[@BaronessJames]

I feared she would put them outside but didn't want to believe it. And she didn't do it. It is smart like this.

[@katelyngraber1658]

Ya but then you are already opening the drawer so it doesn’t really seem to save time, you can look in the drawer anyway. But really cool idea

[@Blahblahblah769]

Katie Erin lmao true but I guess with young kids it could be used as a teaching //reading tool as well :)

[@rafaelateixeira2]

Youre one of the few that actually show what we’ll need for the DIY project! I loved it, thank you 🙏🏼

[@AngiePerezTV]

Yay! I’m not the only “lunatic” using IKEA shoe storage trundles for linens! 😁 We moved from a 3/2 townhouse to a 2/2 apartment and, needless to say, I had to get creative. I got the plastic ones, which are thinner, so I could put them behind doors and inside bathrooms for linen storage, with minimal “footprint.” I even have one next to my vanity. It’s brilliant storage!

[@janicedipietro4850]

So smart and clever! One of the best ikea hacks ever!

[@homemakingherway]

What a sweet compliment! Thank you so much! 💜

[@evelynwald9132]

This was so cute and clever of you. You have a nice sense for organization as well as decorating and it feels like a nice home.

[@homemakingherway]

Thank you! 💜💜I’m pretty big on everything having its own place and looking pretty lol.

[@lindatorres-lopez8306]

This video showed up in my recommendations and wow what a great way to use these shoe holders. Great job!

[@homemakingherway]

Thank you!! 💜

[@anye76]

Never would have come up with this idea storage solution. Pretty fabulous. Well done. 💕🙂

[@homemakingherway]

Thank you! 💜 I have to get creative sometimes with storage because my house doesn’t have very much at all

[@noracharles80]

What an amazing idea! Practical and looks so nice. Doesn’t crowd your hall. I love how you stained the long top that spans both units. Thank you!

[@jenniferciarletta1274]

What a great idea. I can’t wait to share with my daughter. I love the way you completed it with decor too. Totally looks new!

[@homemakingherway]

Thank you! 💜

[@whoohoo7]

Girl, that came out awesome! You gave me an idea for my space.

[@homemakingherway]

Thank you! Let me know how it turns out!

[@MOMMAFULLTIME]

This came out SO pretty! Great job maximizing that space. LOVE THIS!

[@homemakingherway]

Thank you! It’s really been a game changer

[@sharocervantes8090]

Glad I found your channel...I've been wanting to use those cabinets because of its slim dimensions...thanks for the inspiration ..lov the top idea💟

[@homemakingherway]

sharo cervantes thank you! It’s amazing how much storage is in such a thin cabinet!

[@msuehale]

I'm so impressed that you put those cabinets together without much effort. Everything I've heard about Ikea, they are hard to put together. Great finished set of cabinets.

[@random1309]

Absolutely love the storage idea. The espresso wood top was brilliant because it made the entire storage unit look like one piece of furniture and not just two storage units. Very smart and creative.

[@MsLoganBailey]

I love this! I would have never thought to use a shoe cabinet for this but its perfect. its maximizes space and looks great to boot!!

[@homemakingherway]

Thank you! I have very little storage space so I have to get a little creative ☺️

[@CorinaJane]

This is so brilliant! We have the same issue in our home - no storage for linens. I am definitely going to borrow this idea from you! 💕

[@homemakingherway]

Go ahead girl! Let me know how it goes!

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Put folded sheets btwn mattress and boxspring of each bed theyre for. You only need 3 sheet sets TOPS per bed. 1 on it, 2 stored. Same for towels for each person. Put their extra towel btwn too. Wash towels just weekly as youre clean when you get out of shower, right? Put beds on risers also and store TONS of stuff under beds too! We use concrete blocks actually as I want alllll the space I can get. Getting into bed is feat here lol My kids literally have a playspace under their bed, its so high up. They can sit up under it, or they could-they are now having to slouch as theyve grown so much that theyre now 5-6 and 5-9. I can barely get on the bed but theyve never had a problem.

[@CorinaJane]

@@YeshuaKingMessiah That's great that that works for you, we are reducing clutter around our home so nothing under beds and extra sheets under the mattress sound lumpy lol

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Corina Jane linen closet storage is not clutter and folded sheets, spread out under the mattress, top sheet folded up here, folded bottom sheet there, pillowcases there, is not lumpy at all.

[@CKimoko]

I LOVE this! Once the kids move from pull-ups and wipes you can put dental products and maybe hair products or something. Very nice.

[@Gina-bt7qk]

BEAUTIFUL! GREAT JOB. And I love how the stain has a nice sheen and you didn't even have to use poly on it.

[@zorayasanders]

I love this idea, so glad I found your page. Heading to look at the rest of your videos now. You just gained a new subscriber 🤗💖

[@traceyifversen1515]

You did an amazing job love that it's narrow and love the wood top instead

[@homemakingherway]

Thank you! 💜

[@Nat-qw6jf]

I do not have kids, but this is a wonderful storage technique for small hallways! Love it so much.

[@sandramishenko1831]

I love this idea!! You upscaled the Ikea storage simply and brilliantly! Will copy!! Thank you!

[@cityotter]

Wow, using that stained board really makes this such a standout hack. I love how you decorated the top of it as well. Very inspiring!

[@ElizabethHague]

The top just makes it look so nice. Such a great idea.

[@homemakingherway]

Thank you! 💜

[@storybookvintage1536]

Great job! I love seeing these cabinets used for regular storage - I am so inspired

[@notasb4]

I was going to ask for a link to the label maker but I see you already thought of that 😊 thank you! You did a wonderful job!

[@gippywhite]

You’ve got mad skills!!! So inspirational!!! 💙💙💙

[@timbudi]

That was an amazing idea, I always thought I wouldn’t be able to fit enough in those but I’m glad to see that these cabinets hold a a good amount of stuff and I loved your idea.... good job mommy !!

[@homemakingherway]

Thank you! 💜 they look a lot of such a thin cabinet

[@NancyCavillones]

I needed this video! Storage in apartments is so hard, and I love this idea.

[@The_Alexandra_B]

I’m so inspired by this hack! I love how you cut the wood top down to the exact size. That would work well for the space I’m thinking of putting one of these.

[@jeannineharris4449]

I love it! You've given me a few ideas for my kitchen. You have beautiful babies!!

Love this!!! We live in an old farmhouse with NO storage. Can’t wait to try this!

[@deborahcorreale352]

Turned out REALLY NICE. I liked the wood top great choice and the stain made everything pop and has the look of a custom / expensive piece!

Haha! Thank you. We all know IKEA’s furniture is something else to put together. That label maker is the best! You’ll love it

[@ry1981ry]

This came up so pretty 🤩 staining the top shelf really elevated the piece!

[@wendyfay16]

I love the way that you've thought outside the box for this storage. Thank you for sharing your project with us. I'm in the process of decluttering after having a serious health scare recently. I don't want my son to have to worry about anything because he lives on the opposite side of Australia to where I live. I also love the white on the front and the stained wood on the top. I did the same thing to all of my dark oak furniture by painting it all white and leaving the tops the natural colour. I think that dark furniture is nice and cosy in a colder climate, but since moving to the subtropics, it was. too oppressive. Friends were horrified that I was going to paint it, but when I'd finished it, they all loved it and agreed that I'd done the right thing. We only get about 4 to 6 weeks of 'winter' which is when the temperature drops to about 17 Celsius or approximately 64F. We actually complain about the cold! However we get up tp around 110 Fahrenheit although we would only have aa week or so of these extreme temperatures in January and February.

[@brittaneymitchell9923]

This solved my small entryway problem!!

[@homemakingherway]

That makes me so happy! This is PERFECT for an entry. I actually have one in my entryway too

[@ORSkie]

Our boys' shoes and boots were always too big to fit into one of those, so I never thought of using it in the entranceway; what do you find fits well in it there?

[@JesusIsLoveTR]

OceanSkye2 I use mine as a catch all for mail sorting, miscellaneous kids homework items, notebooks, paper, extra envelopes and stamps, tape, pens, stapler, markers and basically anything I wanna throw in there on the fly. 😊

[@carianin5293]

That's exactly what I used mine for. Just a great item.

love that label maker! and the cabinet looks very good

That turned out so well! I had heard about people using these cabinets in different ways and considered it for my little bungalow bedroom. We don’t have any linen storage either. Your video is the most clear and helpful I’ve seen - thank you for showing how the structure attaches to the wall and what you were able to fit in those little bins. I’m not sure it will work for me, my problems are bigger items, but anyway, that’s really good to know. It looks great in your space. And what cute kids you have!

[@maperalta3497]

I've seen these shelves before and would like to put them in my daughters room where at the moment I have one of those modular square bookcases on its side. It takes up too much room and I don't like the canvas boxes. I like the idea of the wood top. Classes it up. Thanks!

This is one of the best DIY videos I've seen! You're clear about your steps and materials, and your video shows even the tricky, frustrating parts (what's real about DIY!). Great tip about using the same stain color on *everything*, and why had I never seen a Dymo Mobile? Thank you for sharing!
