⭐What IKEA piece would you love to see me hack next? Enjoy this episode? Watch this next: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4Kwo3l6fql7bbc

[@daliacolon2904]

I would love to see a head board for a queen size bed

[@LoriLuker1]

That’s a nice idea

[@dannettekey8375]

My IKEA is a 2 hour ferry ride across the ocean and the car is almost a $100 each way and then another hour of driving when the ferry docks. It’s an extremely expensive trip but me and my friends do it once a year and we go crazy. We are going this weekend and have booked a hotel room, another $200. It’s going to be fabulous, expensive but fabulous and hey; it’s a girls road trip. I loved your video, now I have to go find the other video with the participation from your followers.

[@mariarobbins7899]

You are so talented Natalie! I am 67 years old and have always wanted to try and build a piece of furniture. First of all I need a lesson with all the tools you use. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@rea8755]

Easy peasy tools! Just KZbin them: drill gun, battery operated brad nailer, you can do it!!!

[@mikeboothe]

When I was younger I wish I knew you. You’re not only talented but you seem so kind. I bet your husband adores you. I love watching your videos but I’m unable to do too many DIY’s anymore because of health issues but you give me ideas of small projects that I can do. Thank you for making these videos! - Susan

[@dianamcmahon51510]

Thankfully, my closest Ikea is 45mins away. I see this as a blessing in disguise as I can definitely not be trusted in Ikea! 😂

[@karenkinyone613]

My closet is over an hour I’ve never been there

[@katarinastrom4193]

Mine is 30 minutes away, but it’s the world’s biggest one in Kungens kurva outside Stockholm so it’s pulling me in like a black hole all the time 😂

[@pluttefes]

I lives 15 min from the original IKEA in Sweden, it's located in Älmhult! 😊

[@latessaallison1228]

you just look so absolutely gorgeous!! i love your videos and so happy you feel better

[@designedtothenines]

Awe... thank you so much!

[@debrarandall6913]

Next time, stick the candle in the freezer overnight. The candle should come right out whole. Give it a try! Love the bookshelf.

[@swest5148]

Omg, that cabinet though. What a beautiful job, your so talented

[@bankbeauty8838]

Love when influencers include fails makes you one of us.😊

[@CM-lx1wz]

I am in awe of all your talents!!! Love you so much!!❤

[@fisherlady408]

NataLee that cabinet shelf is AWESOME. Now I have to build two! Just gorgeous ❤❤❤

[@designedtothenines]

Yay! Thank you!

[@angelacrimmins2214]

❤

[@denafreeborn424]

Never been to an IKEA. It’s in Orlando and I don’t do traffic….I’ll live vicariously through you.

[@elisabethsingletary7931]

The dresser/cabinet turned out so well! Great job!

[@designedtothenines]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Tasha-ss9mq]

[@jackieduffy4481]

Hi Natalie. The cabinet turned out great and looks amazing. Did you know that you can put a candle in the freezer and it will pop right out. It works like a charm. I thought your candle looked cute in the crystal glass.

[@BethHaynes]

I’m 150 miles from San Antonio IKEA & 150 miles from Houston IKEA. Since I prefer the beautiful drive to San Antonio it is my favorite IKEA.

[@deborahparadis3442]

I am now 3 hours away from an Ikea since moving!!! I used to be an hour from that same Ikea. I loved that store!!! It's been a minute since I've been to Ikea. I could be a spokesperson for them no problem!! 💖 Love your hacks!! So glad your health is much better! I so understand since nearly dying from Covid in '21 and having thyroid issues for years. Keep healing!! Thank you for the encouragement too!

[@elaineshuck4250]

You absolutely amaze me with your knowledge of woodworking and crafting! I am constantly telling my husband how you have all these cool tools and I have learned a lot about various techniques you use. Please keep sharing your handiwork with us ❤

[@barbaradevaney4904]

I am 5 minutes from IKEA (UK) and pop in sometimes just for Swedish lunch ❤

[@YvonneMarieElliott]

I wanna make one of the tower shelves for each of my grandkids, they're so precious and practical!!

[@shoans3897]

I’m about 4 hrs from IKEA in Atlanta, we are in Jay Florida close to Pensacola. 😢 miss IKEA so much, went to them all the time when we lived overseas they are on every street corner.

[@michelewelisevich8808]

Wow, the dresser makeover turned out fantastic! The closest IKEA to me is about 3hours away

[@marthadueck6461]

I live an hour and a half from the closes IKEA. I think that little lamp is so cute.

[@melissab405]

Love the makeover of the dresser!!👏🏻 I like your realness!!! Fun, while very creative.😊

[@bethalvarez6956]

I’m thinking two of those bases for the bookcase with a top on them to connect them like a desk would make a great vanity. I need a smaller one for my bathroom and I think that would work.

[@sandydecamp3974]

LOOKS GREAT. you would never know it was once a dresser. GREAT JOB.

[@lillemorgronblad]

You are so good at carpentry and doing different DIYs. the color of the new bookcase is great with the handles, Thanks for sharing ♥♥

[@barbkrieser8972]

My Ikea in Illinois is about 45 minutes for me...just bought a 12 box book shelf with 2 drawers and 2 dividers for my craft room. That store amazes me! Since I usually use a walker, my son pushed me in my wheel chair....thank goodness!!!!! The store design is genius....takes you throughout the areas and sometimes you might find something else you "absolutely cannot live without".... great job on dresser ❤😊

[@gwenkelly1]

i love it! "if you come home with me im going to kill you"🤣🤣🤣🤣, great make overs sweetheart,

[@jeanne-marie8196]

The cabinet did come out beautifully! Thank you for the inspiration

[@user-ci7xu6hc8y]

You are a Super Woman!!! I love watching you so much. I learn something new every time I watch you. The shelving piece is gorgeous Love the candle redo and the lamp is cute too. Thanks for sharing. Nana Brenda

[@carol-anneobrien1511]

Oh, I so feel your traffic pain!! My nearest IKEA is only 11miles, but it's motorway the entire way. Can get there in 20minutes....or 2 hours! I'd never go on a Saturday...major 👏 to you!

[@designedtothenines]

Oh wow! 11 miles in 2 hours! Yikes!

[@carol-anneobrien1511]

@designedtothenines exactly! Lol I avoid those busy times though, I've just not got the patience to sit that long for a 15 minute journey lol

[@sherrycohen1824]

About your upcoming workshop, you might also want to try Harbor Freight Tools. My husband got an awesome red toolchest for under $150.

[@CindiElbrecht]

Closest IKEA…Tampa! Might be a bit better than O! Ok, less traffic to get to! Love you, love your ideas! I haven’t pulled my drill out yet. Husband of 17 years went to sit at the foot of Jesus and hear the angels a few weeks ago! Which is amazing bc at 73 he got baptized 3 weeks earlier! It only took 17 years but I got ‘er done!

[@pattydavis2621]

I love your furniture piece. It turned out so beautiful. I am hours away from an IKEA. But right in the heartland of yard sales!!! The candle and lamp ideas are great also

[@angelalopez7905]

You did a phenomenal job with the bookshelf ❤❤❤

[@Nonna0228]

15 minutes away 👍🏼 can’t wait to see what you do today

[@gracekalberer1222]

NATALEE!!!! What a brilliant idea!!! I’m so impressed with your vision! You’re so talented!! I love the unit as you built it! I’ve always loved Ballard Designs but they are often outside of my budget! But you’ve shown me I can still get the look without the price tag!!!! I’m so excited to try this on my own!! Also- congrats on the candle make over!!! I’ve done this too, but I didn’t have as cute a vessel to put it in!!! I love your videos, Natalee!! Thanks for the inspiration!!! So glad to hear you’re feeling better and doing better, too! You do look healthy and so beautiful!!! God bless! 😘❤

[@CarolynJohnson-fi3ot]

I'm less than 10 minutes from IKEA (all freeway driving) but only shop there once a year or sometimes longer. I'd never buy any big furniture there but like their kitchen and organizing items. The bookcase you made is wonderful 😊

[@Pagingnursejackie]

My IKEA is an hour and 15 minutes away! I do the pilgrimage maybe three times a year and I also get to stop at Trader Joe’s on the way home, which isn’t too far from the IKEA. I love the video.❤

[@sheryldougherty282]

The closest IKEA is in Denver and 2 hours away. I want to get the trays you showed. Doing 1950’s prints for Valentines, St. Patrick’s, 4 th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, for my daughter.

[@tammyc1812]

I love the shelf and what you did with the candle. One way I've found to get wax to release is to freeze it. Not sure if it would have worked in this instance. I wish I had your confidence and knowledge when it comes to using tools.

[@tenashofner1451]

NataLee you are gorgeous my dear. I'm so happy you got your health issues under control. I wish I would have taken better care of myself when I was younger. I absolutely love the cabinet shelf you never cease to amaze me with your talent. I also love that you show us your mistakes and can laugh about them. It does help me so I don't waste money. I'm on SS so I really appreciate that thank you so much. NataLee you are my favorite DIY channel my children and grandchildren love the gifts I've made for them thanks to you. Sending love from this Nana's home to you and yours.

[@sherrysmith9234]

So much fun to watch. Very talented work.

[@designedtothenines]

🥰🙏💕

[@kathycleriucuzio5245]

I love these dupes! My closest IKEA is at least an hour and a half away. One of these days I’ll take a road trip.😊

[@karireyes6710]

I'm about a 30 minute drive to the closest Ikea. My daughter & I could spend atleast 1 1/2 hours there. Thank you for another great video 📸

[@theresamiller1446]

I have a little dresser that I’m definitely going to do this to and mine will be black to match everything else I using in my bedroom/craftroom makeover. This will be perfect to house my craft supplies. ❤

[@christinewilliams7005]

Oh my word, you really hit it out of the park this time! I love all the projects but that furniture piece is my fave! Thanks for persevering and giving us the inspiration!

[@tracewalker8772]

The dresser turned out amazing, what a great idea!!! I love your hacks, liked the easy ones too!! Thanks NataLee, I’ll have to go to IKEA, mine is 20 minutes away!💕💕🌷🌷

[@ktk2094]

This cabinet turned out beautiful. You're a talented woman.

[@Rhondas_Flippin_Life]

I was diagnosed with SLE lupus a few months ago after being misdiagnosed for years and years 😢 my body and immune system have failed me. So with that being said I think I'll give Seed a try especially after you mentioned autoimmune issues. Wish me luck🤞

[@shelly1224]

What a great shelf

[@barbaranapravnik6364]

Beautiful! You never disappoint!

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you so much!

[@leannemitchem8865]

The book shelves are really awesome! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@theresamiller1446]

NataLee, thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent. I’m truly inspired by all you do. But I especially want to thank you for sharing your health journey and products that are helping you. I’ll be ordering Seed for my mom, who is 82, my two adult sons and myself. We all need a good pre & probiotic. THANK YOU.

[@terikiesling5589]

Love the cabinet ❤

[@sandraburki-ug7sy]

I’ve never been in an IKEA. I just love your videos, you are the bomb!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@barbarac3879]

How do you make everything look so easy? :) Thanks for this one, it's lovely!

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you! 😊 Constantly trying to demystify and simplify things that have been over complicated... in my opinion... no reason.

[@sandrastrobel1254]

I’m about 4.5 - 5 hours away from my IKEA. Every time I visit my family/grandchildren I go to their IKEA. They laugh at me but I love my visits there.

[@judithhawkins1126]

Cabinet was gorgeous

[@valeriemcdaniel1965]

Just like you I go to Orlando IKEA, if I go through tolls it’s a 65 min drive but if not it’s an 1.5 hr drive. I wish it wasn’t so far away I would go more often. I love watching your channel.

[@jeangay7421]

Loved the bookcase it turned out gorgeous. My Ikea is 2 hours away.

[@YvonneMarieElliott]

Cowhide-vibe throw pillows!!

[@sunflowers6172]

Loved this dresser makeover. Stunning ❤

[@lisasmith5760]

Have you tried placing candles in the freezer upside down? Great video

[@elaineburton6577]

Book case turn out beautifully love it ❤❤

[@theresapatrono4062]

The closes Ikea near me is about 45 minutes away. I see the cow hid rug and I see were you are going. Sorry you could not find the cabinet door you went to look at. The shelving unit turned out beautiful. Love that you used the candle and put in the crystal container. Cute lamp. Have a great weekend.

[@yvonnesmith2578]

My IKEA store is about 45-50 min away. Thank you for this episode, soo much inspiration! Very exciting!❤

[@lovestosingalot55bodin7]

There should be a screw on one side of the drawer when you pull it out. It works as a "stop" so the drawer doesn't come out all of the way and fall. Take the screw out and you shall be able to open the drawer all of the way and remove it. If you put the candle in the freezer and take it out the next day; it should come right out of it's container with no problem. You can do this in the future when you want to change out containers for your candles.

[@vikkimartin4297]

You did a beautiful job on the bookshelf love it❤

[@seventysangel]

Natalee wow just absolutely love your work especially the book shelving unit great job You are so creative and amazing at any projects you do Love your content ❤😊 Kirsty in Australia xx

[@barbarabryan5652]

I am almost 600 miles from the nearest IKEA, but it is in the same town as my sister so every time I go see her I make sure to take the time to visit the IKEA. Love what you do Natalie!
