More thoughts on our IKEA MALM dresser hack: Wow, adding hardware to our ikea dresser really did make a huge difference! The warm gold tones look great against the black drawers, and we like the mix of knobs and pulls. This is definitely a beginner level project- it just takes a little measuring and a drill, which is great if you have limited tools. You could get lots of different looks doing other dresser upgrades with these same skills too! It would be fun to experiment with hardware combinations.

IKNOW this video is from 5 years ago but this is literally the best handle installation instructions video I’ve ever seen. Like the on-paper demonstration I’m so glad that I found this video before I started on something

[alexanderrobbie]

its great knowing how a channel started as to see how far they've come in the time their channel exists, and you've come far

[trissan]

Well, I’m here after watching your 1, 000, 000 special video! After seeing that video I hade to check this one out! Good work guys, you have come such a long way! 💪🏼😃🥰

I was just talking to my husband about how we should hack our Malm dressers we've had since before we even met (it's been 7+ years...) and this is exactly what we decided on. Thanks for this easy guide!

“Maybe tone it down a little” said katelyn. Glad he never listened!

I'm starting from the beginning and wow! i'm so surprised your editing style is really great in the beginning as well. ya'll are the coolest!

[BringOnTheRainxx]

[Ciara_Turner]

It's hilarious to have gotten recommended this video after all the shade that y'all gave it in your last office makeover one! Lmaooo

[Jaybiiird]

I have officially watched the whole channel :D

Luv yall, keep up the great work!

Alternate for locating drawer pulls. Put a 8" piece of blue tape over the draw front. Measure and mark the center, measure 1/2 hole center distance either way

Did anyone else watch this after watching their latest video on 12/6/2024?

This video was uploaded in 2017 my daughter and i are watching in 2021, not a lot has changed Evan and Katelyn are still goofy as heck! lol How ever my daughter was disappointed that this video did not have jubi in it lol (she's 4 ). My " small Lady" has been wanting a space jube shirt for a while, ill probably order one for her one once i have money, 2020 and 2021 have not been good years for me, but love the content. It's channels like this that really keep me going thank you Katelyn and Even.

[zoey]

Ya know... I'm glad to go back and watch this in 2020. It shows how much they improved over time. Also, does anyone else realize how YOUNG they look?

[laurarestrepo]

Ran out of new content to watch con the 4 channels, so I had to come back to the roots!!! And OMG I can’t with the baby faces you had 5 years ago ♥️🥹
