i DIYed luxe designer items on a budget (who did it better?)

Welcome back to a series we call “That Cost How Muuuuch?!”. As the title suggests, this is a series where we look at products that literally make ourselves ask “that cost how much???” and figure out if we can essentially DIY them for a lesser price.
In today’s video, I am going to be DIYing some highly requested projects! The Bookworm Bookshelf by Kartell is a home decor piece we've wanted to make for a while now, so we finally decided to tackle it! Next is a pendant light from CB2, the Bruno Light. It's absolutely stunning but it is also $699 and while she's gorgeous...that's a bit too much in my opinion.
Let us know your final thoughts on how you think these projects turned out!

Honestly, just the addition of edge banding on the lampshades is a great hack for making super-simple lampshades look more expensive.

[@TheSorryGirls]

yah literally even if it was just one, and not tiered!!! sooo cute

[@evelynf9169]

Bsnm😊

[@MBMCincy63]

On the lamp: I fully expected Rachel to pop in to create it😂.

[@TheSorryGirls]

@@MBMCincy63 LOL

[@zipperzapper599]

I think it would be cool to cover the shelves on the bookshelf with dust/book jackets, so that it gives the illusion the books are floating!

[@patricka5422]

Genius

[@hmmhuh1222]

haha i thought of that too!! would look so cool!

[@xotennisxgirlox]

I thought she was just going to use like clear book ends

[@sandrakicklighter2735]

I love that you chose the cheapest way first. Even though it didn't work for the extreme curves, where it didn't break demonstrated you could still do this in a smaller ripple-ly version and get a similar look if you didn't want to invest in the flex board. I hope you continue this series it is definitely one of my favorites.

[@TheSorryGirls]

yah! hoping some people even try this as a single floating shelf and not even a full wall piece! would love to see that

[@danielsociety9234]

I adore Becky’s attitude! She is just so lighthearted, positive and fun. When there was a setback as the MDF snapped, she wasn’t remotely discouraged or even annoyed!

[@ACC-2929]

Yay, a that costs how muchhhh! episode once again, with BECKY!

[@TheSorryGirls]

loveee to see it!

[@Lolibob151]

​@@brookeobscura wish I could like this more than once

[@mallymakings2853]

I can’t get over the lamp shade. It looks the exact same. It’s proof that these companies charge extortionate prices. I’ve really missed the “that cost how much “ series. Please do more like this. Thank You. xxx

[@BelindaShort]

Companies like this only sell to people who are looking to spend a lot of money for something really specific. That's kind of what the sorry girls go after, I wish they liked more normal things but they choose designer stuff to replicate

[@vintagecameragirl]

Ply wood when wet and heated is bendable, we used to use it for making mock ups of sculptures in art cool.

[@carlyh6913]

Great job Beck's 🎉❤ I think the cb2 replica looks great but would be made even 'more better' if you used a rechargeable light bulb in the lowest shade so the light reaches that one too 🤩

[@hibiscus10moon]

i was trying to think of how she could put a lower light in, great idea!

[@Positivityispowerful]

I actually really like how it looks with the shades being different colors! It’s kind of fun that way!

[@kaitlinescobedo]

Could the bookshelf have been made even more affordable if made with a thin aluminum sheet? I think the original is metal right? It would also be cool if the book support portions were covered with book covers/bindings to make everything look like it was floating.

[@rainbownarah]

i thought this as well but then i think it might be kind of difficult to screw it into the wall

[@annyinwpg]

@@rainbownarah it could just be screwed in by the shelves?

[@milootje007]

The original is by designer Ron Arad and is steel, but then Kartell bought the rights and made it out of plastic

[@andreabanuelos8362]

Also you can bend MDF more easily with water, but you would have to form it on the floor to let it dry, then hang.

[@pearlessence4413]

Ok, the fact that Becky made the book shelf out of wood products instead of plastic products, is awesome! (The bookshelves I looked at are plastic) She knocked it out of the park! The lamp shades are spot on!! The only thing I would do is clean them! Stains come out easy! Still, you really couldnt see it! Thank you for these 2 amazing DIY'S! Will recreate when we move!! 😁

[@Jj85741]

The lamp shade is so cool! I think adding a veneer band to the inner side too would have looked really good (as the trim looks in the original CB2 one). The bookshelf looked very cool too!

[@3eggomelet]

I really like the slight variation of shade colors in Becky's lamp!🥰

[@moda78z]

It’s beautiful 😍

[@maggierobertson2962]

Me too!

[@pamallen2498]

Love both of the hacks. You "Sorry Girls", have helped all of us to have high end looking homes. You are more precious than gold.

[@lynnnovak889]

Back to the old school episodes! I've missed these.

[@fernofthecentury]

SO IMPRESSED!!! What a privilege that I get to sit here and watch this amazing video knowing it took you guys hours to plan and accomplish and execute and film!!! You are amazing.

[@TheSorryGirls]

🥹🥹🥹

[@cathymeyer3760]

Okay this is good. I think the drum shade would be the hardest to get at a low price but it's hardwired giving it a finished look. Beautiful lamp. I'll never look at lampshades the same after seeing this.

[@samanthacbecker95]

fun! taking it a step further and cutting the edge banding in half width wise and also wrapping them all int he same high quality linen would feel even closer!

[@lalimandi9394]

You could use book covers to camouflage the wall attachement

[@Spookdog]

becky is absolutely rocking that harness omfg. the girlboss energy

[@dalenew6242]

You could always stain the shades with tea. Just be careful to stain evenly.

[@dannettekey8375]

I love the lamp shade pendant. The worm bookshelf is cute to, great for a kids room.

[@AmPlant]

The veneer on the lampshades look so good! I'm going to have to keep that idea in my back pocket for future decorating adventures in my own spaces

[@debbiedeanna7276]

My fav “ that cost how much “ - EVER 🥰

[@Yourlocalleeknowstan]

I haven’t watched ya’ll in so long 😭😭 this was very calming to watch :]

[@TheSorryGirls]

welcome back, stay a while 😘

[@LoriM222]

Fabulous job on both items!! Who doesn't want to create the same thing for hundreds less??!! I love it!! 💜❤💜

[@whatlolawants2167]

THAT LAMP! I'm making that!!! I Love it❤❤❤❤❤

[@tessajanem]

Yay I love this series!!

[@TheSorryGirls]

[@DorianParpari]

I absolutely love the lampshade! So smart!!

[@sierrareyelts1481]

That bookshelf is sooo cool! My mind is blown! The pendant also turned out beautifully!

[@blessthisbeast]

OMG Becky's harness is soooo great! I need a link!

[@lizzymorang8048]

I would love to see a version of the bookshelf done with acrylic by Rachel

[@vickinoeske1154]

Becky, really impressive dupes. I'm impressed with how easy the lamp dupe was.

[@shastabare6026]

Teamwork makes the dream work! Rochelle and Becky, these look awesome 👌 I look forward to seeing the Sorry Girls every weekend ❤

[@jamie-leedavidson3043]

Omg so excited love this series !! But also love your house projects !!! You girls are awesome xxx

[@hanziify]

Becky, you absolutely killed it!! I love this series.

[@nicholassmith8441]

These are both so incredibly well done and honestly one of the easier and more accessible and doable DIYs! 💖

[@creatiefmettess]

Love your creative ideas 😍 If you drill the pilot holes on the side where you put the books you will never see them (11:29)

[@ggmax2958]

I love this channel because you don't hesitate to use used. I love the way these projects turned out.

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

You all are fearless creators. You inspire me to try new things on my KZbin channel.

[@ansbach74]

Of the twoprojects the lamp shape was my favorite. Thanks for sharing

[@Mimi-un5tr]

Love that light shade so much!

[@peggymohr7899]

Talent just exceeds everything great jobs. You are fantastic. I love the chandelier lamp. Wow!

[@DanielleWeaver-in4di]

I love this series so much! please make more!!

[@velvettedelaney]

I was really expecting you to use metal garden edging for the book swirl, but that flexi stuff worked well! The lamp shade was great!

[@Nickk1996]

Never a miss with The Sorry Girls!!!

[@cbenandi1]

🎉🎉 glad this series came back

[@ruthiezophia7118]

Omg luv the shade. Both projects were great

[@sandieyule1644]

I love the lamp shade! And hats off for figuring out the worm bookshelf!!!!!!!

[@lindadelacy9330]

Wow! Fantastic job. Love seeing Rochelle working on this too; she's a real gem!! Love "That cost how much" stuff, Sorry Girls!

[@JayofallTrades]

Really love that you brought back this series. I love diy on a budget

[@moda78z]

The lamp is gorgeous! 😍❤️

[@Bexinmo]

Is the expensive bookshelf made out of metal? It looks like thin aluminum. Your lamp looks as good as the expensive one. I think I would have started adding the smallest shade to the next size up, first, just so it could be wired a little tighter, but that was still a very cool projects.

[@sandrakicklighter2735]

If I made this I would try to have another light in the lowest shade to balance out the light spill

[@miaariguin]

I always love this series. More please. ❤❤❤

[@lovingmayberry307]

Awesome job on both, Becky!! 👏🩷😊

[@alexandratracey8252]

The lamp is everything!!! ❤🎉

[@ltlt3477]

LOLOLOOLOL, I said that lamp looks like 3 different lamp shades, and then you showed that!!! Sooooo goood!!! And I'm so glad your bookshelf came out@@@ She's so pretty!!! They both are gorgeous!!!

[@NaturallyGifted77]

That lamp shade is nice! Gotta try!

[@user-so7ue4tf8l]

Becky the creative genius of all time 😍😎

[@nehas267]

Love this series! ❤

[@karan_karan_karan]

I LOVE THIS SERIESSSSSS

[@simplysojourners]

I love that shelf!! And the lamp i couldn't tell the difference at first. This video was impressive.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

You are one of the most competent DIY's on YT. You are magic. Smart to pencil it. We had the same thought at the same time.

[@kimberlyjoy9835]

Thanks Becky for convincing me to buy a harness. Soo cute!

[@latonyanicholson607]

The CB2 lampshades/lamp will be one that I actually try. I’ve got a bunch of shades I’m not using and yours turned out great. Thanks for the inspiration and idea!

[@MrKirby365]

I love that shade!

[@alexandrianyalapendergrass1303]

light fixture came out great!

[@lucysnowe31]

I seriously want to try my hand at that lampshade. Gorgeous!

[@susiedial1754]

That shelf is amazing!❤

[@tompina4598]

becky giving lowkey power bottom vibes with that harness coo-coo-coo

[@carolgilreath9416]

Great job Becky, love both projects

[@kimiarahimi1736]

Excuse me, can i take a moment to appreciate how good you're looking in the intro?

[@emmyalvarez2114]

Rochelle is a big asset to the TSG team. She's very talented, . Of course, so is Becky

[@laurynvanleeuwen8450]

I really love the outfit you’re wearing it’s so cute 😍

I NEED THAT HARNESS

[@witchplease677]

[@Lississandra]

These were so good!!

[@maryhupf4915]

That is the coolest thing I've seen, lamp shade! I'm doing it!!!!!!

[@murielbaith5445]

On the middle lampshade, I'm concerned about how close the top of it will be to the lightbulbs. Be sure to use bulbs that are cool when lit.

[@memecats5698]

❤️❤️❤️ the lamp!

[@brendasparks6234]

Love, love , love it. They are all great

[@tamara10]

I love this series

[@mary-annz.reynolds7778]

[@jessicapoemape3067]

[@MrsQuam]
