I’m watching this for the first time, and I really appreciate that you spend your precious time to reply to most people, by showing gratitude! That’s really refreshing to see that and you MUST let all the other folks on YT that if they make money on here then the least they can do is comment back to folks who take their time to make comments. Anyway, thanks for being appreciative! I will subscribe to your channel JUST for the fact you seem be so grateful to your audience! Ciao!

These are gorgeous book cases. Very rewarding.

This resolved the problem of sagging shelves with the wider billy bookcases! Beautiful

This is STUNNING! It does NOT look like IKEA - they look like they were built-in to the room. Well done!

Looks great, but I have to say my favorite part of your video were the birds that I spotted flying around on your ceiling, I just love that 😃

[ejmakesus]

Looks great. Great video. 🤍Watching from Australia 🇦🇺

[jacistanton]

I love the birds on the ceiling. Looks like something I would do. The bookshelves are beautiful. Well done!

Thanks for the updated vid! 🙂 From researching, it looks like those screws at 4:18 are often called "barrel nut and bolt" or "inter screws, " but they're sometimes called "cabinet (or cupboard) connector (or connecting, or joining) bolts (or screws)". Lots of variations! And the term to find them on one site might not work at all on a different site. But I hadn't come across them before, so thanks for sharing, whatever they're called 😄

I am considering something similar at my apartment in Australia. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful inspiration piece. Looks stunning.

Funny the screws you used are called "Connecting Screws", "Panel Connectors" or "screw posts". Without the gripping flutes near the head they are called Chicago screws

Hello from the United States. I love a good Ikea hack. Looks beautiful! ❤

[patriciavelazquez]

You guys did an excellent job, congratulations.

[jasminerosepetal]

Love the look, I would love it even more once a bridge is placed over the door between the two sections.

[fineartlifestyling]

Awesome job you two! So professional and lovely looking! So nice to see young people DIYing things like this :)

[fredericnouvel]

Hey! Wonderful video, it’s inspiring and well explained. You give the cabinet doors width (39.5cm) but not the length. Is it 75cm or 74.5cm?
Thank you so much!

[markzelunka]

I have been waiting for months for this video - I'm planning to do the same thing in my dining room!!!

[momk]

Love it. I wish I have even a tiny skills to do this type of DIY

[GeorgeandAlexa]

Was this project expensive to make? In dollars how much did it cost? I liked it!! it is wonderful!! Amazing job girl!!

[lazygardens]

Those screws are called "Binder Screws". Easy to find as soon as you know the name.

That base would be easy with pocketholes.


Good looking project.
