Small space glow up! Ikea €25 door hack, declutter and storage makeover

[@caienateichert9840]

For a second there i thought today was thursday 😅 what a lovely surprise 🥰

[@michellewhelan5033]

Girl that is Pinterest worthy. The strip of wood gives the cabinet extra detailing. Love it!

[@TS-om3ee]

The glass doors do make the area look bigger and it's nice that you can see the lovely items that are stored. The solution for the gap worked perfectly and looks like it was meant to be that way!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks so much! Im so happy with it, thanks for watching

[@gracedeje]

Oo

[@leanne1234]

Another brilliant job. New doors really finish off the area perfectly. You never fail to amaze me how you never get paint on your lovely clothes x

[@sirennemesis]

That is so clever sticking that wooden strip to the door! Genius!

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

As soon as I hear your intro music, I start to smile. We all LOVE LOVE LOVE spending time with you, Catherine!! Blondie was doing a great job of supervising!! Xxx

[@laurel2326]

Just when I think you’ve made over your whole house, you find another spot to make beautiful. It looks fabulous. 💕

[@DaintyDiaries]

Oh there's always something to be done ❤️

[@starbrown1219]

Clever idea on attaching the strip to the door instead of the cabinet. Smart.

[@penepat9111]

I love seeing the mess everywhere half way through the wardrobe revamp, it’s cheers me up because that’s exactly what I’m like 😂😂. Nothing like having a mini makeover and a clear out to make the whole world seem a little better 😉🥰

[@HowToGYST]

Looks fab! Great idea attaching the wood to the door.

[@samanthachung4844]

You go Girl! Tear into those walls to give yourself some more storage space. Ask your brothers. You'll know if you hit a major beam, then stop. You can put your summer/winter clothes in there. You know how to hang a door to hide the closet. You just do it! I know you can. Please film it though, you are tres inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

[@lillianten2152]

Love the way you organize things and paint and fix things yourself.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Has to be done! So much cheaper and adds that extra personality and charm ❤️ thanks for stopping by X

[@laviniajohnson9210]

You are the only channel that I can watch and watch again. Really admire your confidence using a drill. We need a tutorial on what size drill plug and screws for different jobs please. Revamped cupboard looks great. Pure genius putting the strip of wood on the door.

[@carolmiller8811]

It looks lovely and, despite your modest opinion of your work, is Pinterest-worthy! As part of my husband's profession (he has his own business), he does renovations and repairs, so I can tell you that you filled the gap exactly correctly. It is perfect. And the 3 baskets were just right. I can't wait for the "door into Narnia!" (You always crack me up.) You will definitely want a professional to come in to determine where your electrical and plumbing are running behind the walls - don't want you flooding your beautiful home or electricuting yourself! ❤

[@christineh5790]

What a lovely and inspiring vlog to wake up to, here in my 12th week of lockdown in New Zealand! I’m about to purchase an Ikea Billy bookcase with three glass doors to replace my traditional dresser in the kitchen as a china storage cabinet. I have decided to make my fine dinner ware and tea-sets more accessible for everyday use (as you do in your home) and therefore be able to enjoy the beauty of seeing them and using them daily. Love your videos and I hope many support your site by watching the ads - or replaying each vlog a few more times? 😉😅💖🇳🇿

[@lynnslosson5937]

Your idea for that gap is wonderful. Does not obstruct your shelves. Great job as always!

[@anasmith1788]

A+++ Miss independent and killing it at all this home improvement tasks. U GO GURL! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@emilysmith2784]

Fixing that gap. Genius!!

[@dwynn57]

I think the glass doors do make the space look bigger! I think the solid doors just closed the space in. I think it turned out wonderfully be proud of yourself! your brother is so funny! thanks for sharing! oxo

[@laurenl5843]

Great idea. Looks great! It passed the brother test. 😁👍

[@kitchenworker446]

This is genius!...I loved the fact that you ploughed on even though you had hiccups!

[@cint4347]

girl.........you've got skills. Love it.

[@rn1005018]

Catherine you are a genius! You always find a solution. It looks beautiful.

[@easternwashingtonresident3814]

Such a great upgrade with the glass doors! Makes it look more feminine while serving it's purpose as storage and display! Lovely outcome, Catherine!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Loved giving if a new look 😍

[@andree824]

Is there anything you cannot do?! New doors turned out beautifully. Great job.

[@lauradolanteverow9619]

Thank you for the surprise video! I'm sitting here, bored, on a cold gloomy day and up you pop! And such a cool project--impressive.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw thanks Laura ❤️ it's an evening for a cosy cuppa for sure! Thanks for stopping by

[@poodlegirl55]

It's hard to believe that there is still anywhere in the house that can be made over, but this was a big improvement. Why not see your pretties even when not in use? Great job!!

[@maryg9636]

Love how Blondie decided 2nd bottom shelf just perfect for her to check out what mum is doing this time. Great job looks great.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks so much Mary! X

[@carollove8752]

I was not ready for when you opened the closet door! 🤦‍♀️😂😂😂 glass doors are a real motivation. This turned out really nice!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Don't judge me 😂😂 we all have that one cupboard 😂 thanks for stopping by Carol ❤️

[@colorfulcreations9364]

You did a fantastic job on your doors! Today I donated some of my no longer needed “stuff” to the Humane Society. I am enjoying decluttering around my home lately also!

[@angelicajones3958]

I like the glass doors and that was smart to attach the strip to the door. You go girl!!!!

[@alison__16]

"More storage, more shite" 😁😁 sums me up in one sentence 😁. Your new doors look incredible and the gap solution was genius 👌

[@stephm281]

Great fix with the gap between the doors. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@DaintyDiaries]

There's always a solution 😂 it totally came out intentional 😂😍 thanks for watching X

[@malva4838]

I just love when you're #doingadainty and working through things! Buy a door that's close, then modify as needed. Perfect custom fit! Love it!

[@tammyjohnson7401]

Great work. And you fixed the gap like a real carpenter would have. 🤗

[@level-uplearning5095]

You go girl....after you get that clearance from those in the 'know'! Nothin' stops Catherine and her side kick Blondie.

[@maribethgalbreath6703]

Wow, girl! I would have never thought of the strip fix. That was genius!

[@annbutler8302]

Making more storage of those spaces will be great. I have seen people make dressers in there, putting in drawers for recessed dresser. A lady I follow her blog she has, like you were saying for the doors on the side of you couch, doors for storage of her Christmas decorations. Use every bit you can. Love your solution for your new doors, looks normal.

[@alexisb.8965]

Brilliant job, Katherine! Very clever to use the scrap wood to hide the gap. I thought it was genius to stick to the door instead of blocking your storage

[@MrCarrington]

Love the wardrobe hack!! The storage will be so handy in the bedroom, I'm thinking can you squeeze in a cabrio balcony in there too! :)

[@annroberts3635]

The area does look great with the glass doors.. You are so brave to take on that kind of a project. I am beginning to think that there is nothing you can’t do. Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸

[@alisonramshaw3186]

You are such a darling! An incredible motivator whose confidence and enthusiasm make me feel quite pathetic lol. I wouldn’t dream of touching a jigsaw! The cabinet makeover is gorgeous too. Well done that girl 👍🏻👍🏻

[@beckymeldrum7022]

I love it! You never sit still, you’re always creating! You go girl!!

[@Welivebythesea]

I know I'm late to the party but to be fair you were very early (we all get confused by dates from time to time 😊) Great idea to attach the strip to the door rather than the shelves. When you were holding the strip up it did occur to me that you would be restricting access to the cupboard. It was a stroke of genius to attach the strip to the door. Well done you 👏

[@sumar207]

The doors look very professionally done! Big improvement!

[@melissimo.]

Grogu! ❤😄

[@tmcdgreen]

I love it! The glass in the door gives the landing depth that it didn't have before. Great inspiration!

[@AnnieKat_]

Beautifully done! So glad you bridges the gap by extending the door 😊

[@noellejaroch7406]

You are such a ray of sunshine and always an inspiration. Love your videos so much!

[@beverlymartin1414]

Your not just a pretty face, you are a super talent ! Great idea and wonderful outcome.💙💙💙

[@shaburkesharon8882]

Omg! You have completely transformed your landing, I love it 😍 there is no end to your creativity.

[@barbarajennings1057]

Very good that you attached the board to the door. Good thinking girl.

[@33me-]

Your brother is right it does look bigger! Well done great job ! And I like the idea of the extra in the wall storage . Take care 😊.

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

Look at Blondie - she's knackered, poor girl! Loved the end result, especially the insert on the doors, fab idea. I would have put crystal faceted handles on, purely because I love them, and they're so light reflective. They're also easier for my older hands to grasp without your smacking my nails, which I wear long.

[@vickinoeske1154]

Brilliant idea replacing the doors. The glass panels make the entire area look high-end and so pretty.

[@rebeccalitardo6250]

Wow, what a beautiful transformation 😍

[@jot4336]

I think you did a great job adding that strip of wood. Idk how old your home is, but that's exactly what a carpenter would have done back in the day, so I think it actually looks like it has always been like that🤔

[@justoneacre7873]

You are such an “ideas woman”!! Good thinking, the storage cupboard looks 👍

[@kathywalsh9312]

the gap looks intentional! I love it! Good job

[@cullumkille2372]

I think that space looks so much better now. Great work!

[@VG-cz7yg]

The doors look brilliant.

[@jennymarshall8340]

Wow what a transformation! I allways love when you pop up on my videos to watch, it’s like hanging out with a friend. Hugs from Australia 🇦🇺

[@Liza03V]

Wowww what a great project. What a transformation. Well done! 👏👏👏

[@juliespencer1164]

Love how you transform spaces. it looks much better, and you can not tell about the wood panel it looks absolutely fine xxx

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Hi Catherine We really like the glass doors it does make the area look larger.💚❤

[@elizabethhair723]

with very limited space I'm thrilled to have ordered my first Ikea item, a thin tall six shelf unit called the Billy. I found we have an Ikea on my Island and though they didn't have what I wanted in stock, they quickly ordered it for me and it's come from abroad, can't wait to get it for my books.

[@shirleydunn8050]

Looks so much better .I did not expect to see Baby Yoda when you opened the door!

[@juliederry3719]

I must say Catherine “that’s a job well done” you’ve certainly pulled it out of the bag, and I look forward to seeing what you’ve decided to do with that extra storage space too, tfs x Julie

Thanks so much Julie! X

The doors are GREAT and you can't tell that you had to add a piece to it. I do like the glass as well!!!

Brilliant to put the strip on the door!

[@MaryseMeunier]

You did a great job. The doors totally look like they are made like that and they make your landing feel more finished. I like it a lot !

[@emb54]

The wardrobe looks great. I like that you attached the strip of wood to the door. Brilliant!

[@sheliabowen7094]

I have to say I admire your talent for so many things you can do. Your Beret is precious on you and it would look great at your book signing. Of course I love Blondie. Every thing looks great ❤️

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks Sheila x

[@cherylmckay6806]

I love the glass, I think the door pulls you had on before would play off the glass inserts. It always amazes me how you tackle so many projects. So nice that you have an Ikea close by.

[@alisonvanwyk4348]

That was a great make over it looks so much lighter in that space

[@gailgulliver8970]

Great job on the door's Catherine the trouble is if your a collector of stuff you will never have enough room lol..xxx

[@ladyt2587]

Lol Catherine so funny about you needing up your Tuesday and Thursday, I do things all the time like that. No worries it just means we got to enjoy another one of your videos 2 days sooner. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I love how your doors and your closet turned out. Good idea have great day or in your case evening.

[@officeadministrator9316]

You come up with the best ideas! It looks great!

[@kridder1018]

Not only do the new doors make the area look bigger, but brighter too if that makes sense. I would imagine it would be easy to put some battery operated led lights in there if you wanted a little bit of light in the area for night time or something. I have always referred to those kind of behind the wall areas as attic crawl spaces. The second floor of my house has a few of them, and they are lined with thin plywood for the walls and insulation, but ours don't really have wires or pipes. The previous owners used to use them, but we just don't have a need for them at the time as we have a full basement as well, which can hold a lot of stuff. lol. I am like you, I can not function if there is a mess. My brain just seems to focus on how the mess needs to be cleaned and I can't focus on the task at hand. Thank you for yet another tip! I swear you are just full of them, but I love it all.

[@Jo-im6iz]

Latest project looks great Catherine. Nice to watch your ideas manifest!😊

[@ExLibris-Alys]

You made a corkin job of that, well done 👏🏻 😊💛

[@patsytag5703]

As always you did an amazing job. I love the way you have slowly transformed your home into a beautiful dream home. 🥰

[@j.christian6801]

Great idea! It looks wonderful with the glass doors!!

[@labbrockington7854]

The doors came out really good. If you still have the old doors you might be able to use them on your new cabinet. Love your pink pj's they look so soft . God bless you and keep you

[@madzabinga8382]

Great idea attaching that middle piece to the left door! Smart building!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Gotta make it work for you! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@itsmewende]

Catherine I think here in the states your home would be considered a Cape Cod, those homes do use that area upstairs for storage. Your hall make over is just lovely, I bought an IKEA tv cabinet years ago, it has a strip on one door, and yes there is a gap, I think it just adds to the charm.

[@vickiequinney4268]

You are fearless!

[@hildegardkhelfa]

Well done - and thank you for the smiles and giggles :)
