IKEA HEMNES SHOE CABINET HACK I SHOE STORAGE IDEAS I ENTRYWAY MAKEOVER (PT.1)

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

What space do you need more storage in? Would something like this help??? Comment below!!! 👇🏾👇🏾

[@jeffreykaufmann2867]

I don't think Shaquille O'Neal's shoes would fit!

[@kendrascott8083]

Storing backpacks that end up everywhere, I’m thinking of a floor cubby. No room on the walls and I don’t want to look at them.

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Ooh yeah thats a great idea too! It definitely can fit a lot!

[@toryhoare1635]

I have a tiny linen cupboard and no space to build more cupboards, do you think a line of these down a hall way would work? Would it fit much linen do you think in each 🤔?

[@Brenicolestevens]

@@toryhoare1635just taught about putting this in my master bathroom since it doesn’t have a linen closet 🤔

[@nicothenatural]

I'm SO thankful you share the reality of these things. So many folks think they could never DIY; they don't understand the mistakes that have to be made when you're doing it! That's how you learn and do jobs well 🤗 I especially loved this video because shoes all over drive me crazy too 😜 your personality is really fun and doesn't feel forced. All around well done! The outakes are fun too 😌

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

❤️❤️❤️Thanks so much!!! Truly appreciate your feedback! There’s so much behind the scenes that I figured it would be fun to share! Thank you!! 🥰🥰

[@whssydney4841]

Hey Niky thanks for the hack. Followed it to the letter…worked perfectly

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Yayyy!!!! I’m so glad it worked for you! I love this hack! Still in my foyer right now!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@celesteterry1600]

Didn’t have a comment about the video except that your hack is dope. What I really wanted to share with you was that, woman to woman…you doing your thang, sis!! I’m a mommy fan.

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Awww thanks so much Celeste!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@valerieneff9272]

Love the method to transfer the newly located side holes. Thank you

[@therealJamieJoy]

"Hi, People! Remember me?" SO ADORABIBBLE!!!!!!!

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

😂😂😂Thank you!!!!

[@therealJamieJoy]

@@DIYbyNikyFoster also great video TFS

[@vrod0745]

good info and creative techniques..

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thank you!! I tried especially for people who are beginners like me!

[@waytootightent3240]

The best to ever do it, by far! Congrats again on another DIY completion

[@NCuevas89]

Okay, so I neeeeeeever comment on KZbin but I wanted to 1.) Thank you for taking the time to make the vid. And 2.) Compliment your execution. I looked high and low for this hack, but everything I found was super confusing or didn't have enough images to exemplify what was being said. Yours is legit the clearest and easiest to follow. And I appreciate you highlighting how the lazy route didn't work, bc I def would've tried and gotten nowhere lol. Love that you're so down to earth and I really like your decor style - get it, girl! I'm excited to put my cabinets together now! 🙏

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thank you so much!!! I honestly really appreciate the feedback! Omg I always try the lazy way first in case anyone else has the “genius” idea! 😂😂 Thanks so much tho! And I hope your cabinet turns out good!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@keys_open_doors]

It turned out great! I’m def going to get 2 ikea shoe cabinets for my foyer and paint them a fun color. Loved your out takes. Thanks for sharing!

[@latonejean4830]

Thankyou! I have a small entryway and I’ve had those in my cart forever but wasn’t sure how it would look! I’m definitely going to do it now!

[@mr.h4898]

I liked how jointed the two; it could be cumbersome but you made it seem achievable

[@JustTheThree3ofUs]

I love how spacious your area looks now. You did a great job. Also, I enjoy your bloopers, you are so down to earth and cool. Love the baby too! 😁

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@brazen69tc]

Looked great! That piece looks narrow enough that I could put it in my hallway. Hope you put wood glue in the extra holes you drilled with the frog tape template (the wood dowel didn't look as snug as it might should have been). Also (just a thought for extra support/sturdiness), when you added the second piece and tucked it behind the first one, instead of just using glue, maybe drill a few extra holes (if possible) on the front backside (where you slid the second piece together) and use wood glue/dowels for additional support. Love the slim, clean look of that cabinet for hiding shoes! I was amused that you sorted all of the hardware! At least I know I'm not the only one that does that! Glad you're sharing, it inspires ideas for the rest of us!!

[@ImJustJoJo]

I love it. I’m looking into the Hemnes or Bissa for my foyer. We have a lot of shoes.

[@nekeshadunlap77]

That turned out beautifully and very chic! We are building and I was looking for foyer ideas.... this was right on time!

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

So cool! So glad it was helpful!!!

[@TheEagleslover]

It’s the cameo for me!🤣🤣. But seriously this was a great project. My son definitely needs to watch it because he has a million shoes. Great job and I’m looking forward to part 2.

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

😂😂Thank you! This opened up way more space in my entryway! Hope your son enjoys! ❤️

[@lesliekernan8924]

So smart!!! You did a great job. I love your taste and your videos. You are awesome.

[@NeneBlessing]

That turned out beautifully

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thank you!

[@jrn8515]

Looks really good,well done with adapting them to fit together.Great video. Will check our some of your others now.

[@cathys4783]

You approach a project just like I do, I’ve got this!! Thanks for your help (my mother always said when there’s a will, there’s a way - especially if you keep a man OUT of the process:)

[@KCUDesignz]

Love it Niky! You always come through with genius ideas.

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dwunahenton103]

So neat my foyer looks like that, full of shoes

[@Foster_MPH]

I love it!! Now I can put all my sneakers away! 🤣😂

[@deborahm696]

Super job

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thank you!

[@kathleenelaine7039]

Loved your updated shoe box....but I would mess it up so bad. I'd have to buy another cabinet.

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

😂😂you can just set it side by side without connecting it!

[@subconsciousmomma]

omg dealing with same issue, love this , got a new inspiration as always , Thanks love!

[@CoriNagy]

THANK YOU for making this video!! I never liked the gap when I would see people put 2 together. I bet a Kregg jig would work too. You are so clever!!! 💕

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Ooh yeah! I actually don’t have one yet! But I want one!

[@froop84]

This is amazing, well done! Just one idea to improve: Put a nice natural wood board as a top

[@misty1264]

Super informative video.

[@Sunshinelady]

Awesome video, definitely super helpful…thanks so much! I just bought one and will be putting it up this weekend. Love the outtakes too!!!

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Aww congrats! It’s going to be amazing! Thank you!! ❤️

[@lisajackson438]

Please can I ask what the length was in total of the two cabinets with no top and one leg?

[@judythompson4277]

Awesome job! I love how you break everything down and I’m learning a lot from your videos. Can’t wait to try this in my entryway.

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thanks so much! I try to explain it for you guys so you can diy it!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TeeKnit]

Another great video. I've been binging your videos for 2 days.

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thank you!!!! I hope you found some good ideas to help you!!! ❤️❤️

[@leachano82]

This is really nice

[@ruicihong3640]

Very useful thank you so much

[@CookingconHannah]

Very nice content

[@patreececrumidy776]

Great job lady

[@1InAMlIoN]

Nice transformation and hack! I loved the tape method on the drill bit that you used to mark the depth of the hole… def using that in the future! Haha

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thanks! 😂 Seriously it helps with placement!☺️☺️

[@kkSH2023]

Love it!! I’m so happy you did this bc i was planning on purchasing for my new home

[@mehs778]

Good job! Is the colour slightly creamy?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Hi! The color of the hemnes is white! Definitely doesn’t give the slightly creamy vibe, but it is paintable!

[@mehs778]

@@DIYbyNikyFoster thanks I just need it proper white, and I'm so glad because that's one less thing 2do!

[@marhki]

I just found your channel and have been binge watching and screen-grabbing 😂! I am about to purchase my first home on a budget and a lot of properties within my price range need a little TLC, which was becoming disappointing. Your channel has inspired me to purchase a home with good bones and the rest, I can update! You’re so detailed and I really appreciate that. Bless you Sis! 😊 🙏🏾

[@MrMissjordan09]

Great info

[@woodama21]

Can you do a diy on a closet really would love to see you makeover a closet

[@jennifern.2740]

Whats the biggest men size these could fit?

[@subconsciousmomma]

what color is your wall paint? by the shoe cabinet ?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Hey its called Silver Tradition by Behr (at Home Depot)

[@mylfy9903]

Ikea also has some plastic ones that I have brought called Trones Does your family use them? I put them up but their shoes are still everywhere and I am constantly tripping on them...lol Another really great use for these is to store your kids school and art projects. They are good for that because they fit the ones that are oversized.

[@Seaux_What]

what were the drill gauge sizes for the holes?

[@tarad6850]

I missed the drilling into the wall. I have concrete walls that had painted wood paneling over them. sounds wild but that's how they built the townhouse complex. that's my issue is drilling is so hard on my arms.

[@mikebrewer1972]

Awesome

[@brendamoon2660]

I'm impressed with your husband's shoes so lined up. Men usually throw shoes everywhere

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

😂Yeah at least we had them lined up! Still drove me crazy!!! ❤️❤️

[@taniad9950]

Hi Niky 😁 you are such an inspiration 🙌🏾 I have the same issue but by the master bedroom 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️thank you for sharing this hack! It was very helpful and I can't wait for part 2! I also love how you break things down and show that can be a hiccups but how to work around them 🙌🏾 great job as always 👏🏾 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳💐💖

[@ItsBeyondGee]

I needed this! Thx

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Aww thank you!! 🥰🥰

[@mahoganycrumidy6494]

Hope you ready to come down south next year!!! Lol

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

😂😂😂

[@justrandom222]

Wow you did an incredible job! Subscribing. Do you think this will be able to store shoes that are 13 in size?

[@buildmylife]

After you screwed the holes in how did you attach it? Did you add the other leg in?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

I assembled it as if I were following the instructions. The other leg was not needed!

[@buildmylife]

@@DIYbyNikyFoster ok got it! I think I might do this and paint it ! Thanks for the video!

[@LiteratureLady22]

Can this fit mens size 13 shoes?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

It depends on the shoe. A regular sneaker /tennis shoe probably can fit. At best it can fit laying on its side. Large bulky boots like timberlands can’t. This shoe cabinet is definitely a hallway saver lol!

[@4lizlemon]

It looks 👍 great. I would have tried the glue as well. No shame 😂😂😂

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

😂😂😂 I’m just keeping it real! I’m so glad you agree!

[@Tinapaparika]

How much did the cabinets cost?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

I think $140 each. Ikea has a $100 version as well, but this one has the knobs!

[@michaelli4981]

what kind of screw you are using?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

The screw came with the Ikea furniture.

[@Mzzg]

Looks so nice! Love the bloppers at the end. Cute kids.lol what color is on the walls? Is it white or light gray?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thanks! It’s a very light gray!

[@rubylioness727]

That Alien Tape is really THE TRUTH but it will snatch the paint off the walls! So just be prepared for that after it’s been there for a while and it’s also washable. Yup! WASHABLE! I use it to tack down rugs in my classroom and then just take it up and wash it off with soap and water to use it in another area. Sounds gross but my floors get cleaned daily and it’s covered by the rug so it’s not that dusty and very easy to clean. After washing I let the tape dry on wax paper. If it is super dirty like black i just throw away. One roll of tape lasts a good while.

[@drec7366]

Wood screws

[@MrMissjordan09]

Walk in Shower door hesge and metal strip under door

[@billan888]

you covered up your electrical outlet though...

[@drec7366]

Next time construction adhesive works better!!!

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thanks! I’m always looking for new products to try!

[@drec7366]

That wood glue never works

[@drec7366]

Gorilla double sided tape

[@lisaleone2296]

You know what I hate? When someone calls something a hack when it's actually the exact intended use of the item. A Hemnes shoe cabinet being used for shoe storage is not a hack. What you did was an IKEA Hemnes cabinet modification.

[@MamaC6100]

You say “um” and “uh” so much 😩

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Ummmmmm ok???
