Gorgeous!!!! Can you please leave a link to the crystal lamp insert? I can’t find it 🙈

[@myboytjie]

Hi Lisa, I grew up in Africa and have a very large collection of hand carved busts, African animals and the like. I absolutely love them, some are very substantial in size and weight and most are in wood, soap stone or copper. Can you do something that can bring an African theme into 2022 please…?

[@ellenhartley4998]

So nice to see your friend Lisa. I moved away 9 years ago and my best friend is 900 miles away. I am in love with the French country dresser. This would be so adorable in a little girl's room.

[@deborahfuselier40]

Boy, did you not only meet the challenge, you exceeded my expectations. Loved the scalloped molding and the transfer is gorgeous; perfect for my guest room. Thank you so much. I knew you wouldn’t disappoint. This was a 12/10. 👍 loved them all. Painting the gold inside the lamp and adding the crystals was so clever. Thanks again for the help. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@designedtothenines]

Yes! Thank you! I am so glad you liked it. Thanks for the challenge. It was fun! =)

[@kathytrohoske421]

Wow, each hack is great, especially the dresser.

[@thechickincharge1073]

I remember when the whole farmhouse look first came out and everyone was pulling those scalloped trims off of cabinets and such. I always thought they added SO much charm and hated to see them being removed. I am SO glad to see this video!

[@designedtothenines]

Glad you liked it! 💕

[@toneil8470]

Love you and Lisa. Love your dresser. Gorgeous!!!! Love the lamp make over. Love hacks. Please keep them coming. Thanks for sharing.

[@robinwoods756]

I love all of these but that dresser is amazing it is prettier than anything you could buy. You have amazing taste.

[@joansmith6844]

[@barbarapisarski4144]

I think this is my favorite video of all time. I LOVE the way the dresser came out, it is beautiful and if my decor was not rustic I might consider recreating the dresser, bit I don't really have a place for it either. Going to go check out your friend Lisa's channel now. Thanks for sharing.

[@barrykulmom]

Just a bit jelly of Lisa. Hanging with you must be a blast. You are more of a role model than you realize.

[@designedtothenines]

Wow! That's very sweet of you Carolyn. Thank you!

[@leannemitchem8865]

I have that mini dresser in my craft room holding all my extra pens, pencils and other odds and ends. However, I have never liked the way it looked. Your paint stick and knobs hack 🤯. I am so going to do this. The lamp is so gorgeous and that dresser transformation is gorgeous as well. There’s never been a diy of yours I did not like. Thank you for sharing!

[@designedtothenines]

Oh wow! Glad it gave you a good idea!

[@dannettekey8375]

Seeing you and Lisa shopping together was great, I love her channel as much as I love yours. That dresser turned out amazing, I've been wanting to at out. I enjoy your IKeA hacks.

[@shannonebryan5475]

Loved all the IKEA DIY with the finished IKEA dresser being my favorite !

[@patriciaoldfather6377]

The French Country hack... absolutely STUNNING! The crystal knobs are perfect, not just because they are a fit as far as french country style, but also because they don't distract from the gorgeous decal! I also love the lamp 2.0 version. 👍🏻

[@sarahbatcher6749]

I don’t usually comment but I just want to say your smile is the most contagious smile I’ve ever seen. I absolutely love love your channel and love all the crafting you do. My most favorite is when people mail you a challenge box. So super fun.

[@DeborahBRyan-dc5dx]

I love all of your Ikea hacks, the dresser looks awesome. And the mini dresser is so cute and can be very useful. I also love how you redid the lamp, sure makes it glam.

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you!! 😊

What do you think about a pink or green top? I have no where to place this, but love it so much…I just don’t care. Thanks for the great diy🥰

I’d love to see you hack my craft room! 🤞🏻😁 haha! If you ever feel the want to redo someone’s space, I’m first in line! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I love your videos! You do amazing things! And you truly upscale everything you do! You’ve got amazing talent my friend! I always look forward to seeing what new things you have next! Oh! Almost forgot, I would like to see what it was you had to hack in this video that didn’t work. Just so I can learn from it too and not make that mistake. It happens to all of us! 👍🏻 Thanks for the awesome video! 👋🏻

[@lisasmith9123]

Fantastic hacks. The French inspired chest is stunning, love the Moppe box makeover and the lamp was totally transformed. Love IKEA hacks as the stock is virtually the same works-wide. Refreshing after so many other You Tuber’s videos of DollarTree, Dollar Store, etc. I love your videos and find them really inspiring.

[@designedtothenines]

So glad! Thank you Lisa!

[@jessicahites871]

Of course I want to see!! I actually like to see the fails.. Learn what not to do lol. Absolutely love that dresser!! It's gorgeous!! And that mini dresser would be a fantastic addition to any craft room and love that color!! Have a wonderful day!:)

I love you and Lisa together, hopefully you will collaborate again.

[@renayemcdougall7112]

Love that dresser that turned out absolutely beautiful!! And then that little dresser thing, I have that I bought it at least 10 years ago maybe even more. But mine is still plain but it's not going to be for long! Thank you for inspiring me to give mine a makeover. And that floor lamp also came out looking great! I love the shade thing of the glass gems you added also, that made it go all the way high end decor! Tfs 🙂♥️

Loved all the pieces! Yes, would like to see fails and how you fixed it.

[@jillyb350]

I love to see all your design ideas/flips/inventions, etc. I love all your hacks today, had to share them w my aunt. I would totally love to see the fail and then what you do to fix it. Because we all have ideas that don’t turn out as planned and we rarely show them to other people!!

[@LucindaStCyr]

Absolutely in love with the French ikea dresser hack!!! So feminine... so beautiful!

[@dn8387]

NataLee, you always do a wonderful job. I’d love to see how you complete your “fail”. I have had several of my own over the years and enjoy the added challenge of working through to completion. Loved these projects!

[@bettyolis6228]

Love the dresser what a dramatic change, beautiful. The front entrance piece and the lamp redesign were equally creative, thanks!

[@designedtothenines]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@zullo3529]

I love ikea hacks! I also like to see what you build. Your items all turned out beautiful. But that dresser!! Gorgeous!!! Have you ever tried the IOD transfers or molds? They have some beautiful things. Thanks Natalee

[@brighteyedjeanie]

Oh my goodness! That french country dresser is amazing. What a transformation. I love all these hacks. The entryway organizer turned out great. I do want to see the fail. We can learn with you. Maybe save us from the same mistakes. I'd love see how you redid it. More french country ideas.

[@feliciacardone8900]

Some people have it, and some people don't, and you definitely have it. So talented! Everything you've done that I seen, it has been gorgeous. What a job with that dresser and everything in between. 💞

a big WOW on your French dresser....simplicity gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!

[@kristinecornell8649]

I love hack videos, especially IKEA!!

[@kristinaanderson8644]

I know it's not your style but an ikea dresser hack that is a little more mid century would be awesome! All your hacks are timeless and beautiful 😍

[@designedtothenines]

Great idea!! I'll see what I can do.

[@sharonbaughman7414]

Love Lisa! And love the lamp. I love matte black and gold together. Fun watching you girls shop.

[@deborahstratton3488]

OH MY GOODNESS, NATALIE! I LOVE THIS!! I really don't care for IKEA products due to the cheap quality and lack of durability. I love what you did with this piece. I'm thinking of using this to up date an old wooden piece that was my grandmother's.

[@phyllisburris7093]

Soo pretty. Wow... putting together Ikea furniture is a challenge!

[@atjennysplace]

So jealous. Our Ikea is a ghost town right now. Thank you for the much needed Ikea fix. Love, love, love the dresser. So pretty

NataLee, you have such a talent for making beautiful things! I would never have guesssed that the dresser came from Ikea, it is stunning! You hit it ot of the park yet again! Loved the way you multitasked while painting too!

Hi Natalie, the French inspired dresser was amazing. wow!! Also can you share Lisa's page? I couldn't find it under the transcripts. Be Blessed

I put her episode in the description box... but here's the link for her channel: kzbin.info Thanks!

[@GOGOSLIFE]

The dresser turned out so pretty! When my daughter was little, we bought her a bed in a bag, that had pink roses and pink stripes. That would have been a perfect match for her bedroom. I think we still have the bed skirt around, but the rest was worn out years ago.

[@deedee0909]

So many beautiful and creative ideas!!! I love how you made these plain IKEA pieces look so full of life!! The crystal piece added to the lamp was awesome!!!!! You truly are one of my top favorite DIYers and that the fact that you’re a fellow Floridian is a bonus!! Dollie is so precious! Looks like she loves to be with you a lot!!! So stinking cute!!! 😃❣️

Oh, how I wish there were an IKEA near me! I wish it very hard! All three of your hacks were splendid, but I loved the Moppe the best. Please show us your fail. I'm sure we could all learn from it. By the way, I do have a Moppe. It needs a makeover badly; I found it at the side of the road. All my best stuff was found by the side of the road

[@judymartin9780]

All of your hacks were awesome as always. Without a doubt you are the most creative at “hacking”! The dresser was really cute. Loved the lamp too. Where do I find the 18 karat gold spray paint. I have never seen anything like the crystal “add on” before. Wow wow, the thing I love most about your site is that you always have ideas that will fit in any decor. Thank you so much for getting away from farmhouse, it’s cute but not my style! Oh oh I love your fashion shows also! The outfits are so cute on you!

Beautiful makeovers! Do you do farmhouse? I'm switching to that from sort of beachy. Love your videos!

[@pdl50]

The pink and white dresser is beautiful and I’d love it in my bedroom so I might have to try it myself. The set of drawers you did in the sage green is so cute and could hide a multitude of miscellaneous junk coming in the front door or even on a kitchen counter for the odds and ends that really don’t have a home. I had no idea you could add “ bling” so easily to a lamp and I think I might have even said “What?” out loud over that one. I love these hacks and I hope you do more of them.
