I really appreciate how you always give credit to other influencers. Sometimes I watch these KZread videos and the person acts as though they came up with everyone. I love you style, taste and advice and find myself coming to your channel when I have a design/decor dilenma.

Thank you so much Darcy! It's so so important to give credit to all these amazing creators 💕
the ikea countertop desk hack is definitely a good one if you need a large desk. i have multiple computers and a set of speakers on my desk so i need a lot of space, and that’s what i did. i just put it on an adjustable standing desk frame i bought elsewhere and it fits perfectly, it’s completely stable, and i have enough space for everything i need! an equivalent sized standing desk would’ve normally cost around $600-700 but i got this one for less than $300 ($200 for the frame, $60 for the top)
The canvas roll idea, GENIUS!
I will definitely use your 1st hack--glass doors for books (which get so dusty otherwise). Love all these hacks. Also, so wonderful when you give credit to a fellow design person and watched Drew for the first time today.
Girl, I have watched a LOT of your videos (and I love them!) but this one was the best one I’ve seen yet! I loved your kind edification of LoneFox and Kristen McGowan. It was classy as heck (I love them too!). I love to see people supporting people😊 I also loved seeing more of your personality. I laughed out loud at least twice! I always appreciate how fast you talk because your videos are a reasonable amount of time to watch, but stopping occasionally to crack a joke was a delight! Thanks for sharing these great tips and being lovely 😊
Your DIY hacks and shortcuts are only superseded by your fun personality! Lone Fox speaks highly of you too by the way. The IKEA idea I liked today was the the double desk idea. I have just finished having new floors put in and now trying to move everything into neater less cluttered living. Challenge. I have checked out the butcher block counter top and it will work perfect in my photo studio. Thanks for the inspiration on this one! I love your vids and all the stuff you do KB! Been watching and learning from you for a long time. Thank you! I may be an old lady 78 but I’m still in the game!
I used a Kallax shelf turned sideways and added wheels to make a small kitchen island. It worked great.
I so want Lone Fox’s Billy hack - I think he should hook up with a manufacturer . . . or (so I could afford it) package the precut pieces in a DIY kit. I can add the bookcase!
Great tips! Drew, Kristen & Sorry girls all have some great work - good on you for giving them credit / providing links. 👏 👍🏼

I loved the Desk Hack, because Desks most often don´t fit the room. For my instance I need a really wide 2,5m Desk and your Malm Hack really made me think about making that a reality.

I'm now torn between this cheap hack that looks like it would satisfy my need for a longer desk, or continue with buying a nearly $1000 standing desk with plugs and cable management holes built into it (yes, I could probably DIY that, but I'mnot very handy and good with that sort of stuff). I might go with the Ikea hack if the stuff is available at the only one close to me (which is a state next to mine). If not...well, I highly doubt I'll be disappointed with the standing desk.
I was expecting the same old ikea hacks but was pleasantly surprised to find a few that I hadn’t seen. You’re a joy to watch. You could talk about motor oil and I’d be interested:))
I use a 4 drawer Malm dresser in the kitchen. It holds my microwave on top and in the drawers I have extra dish towels, plastic containers, even my office supplies.
We need more designers like you on KZread!!! You always give genuine advice
I love your videos and get so excited when a notification pops up! Drew really does do a lot of amazing things! I love the hack ideas. I think that I hack too many thing to try and get something “original” in my house. Keep of the great videos! I already can’t wait for the next 🥰
I watch Drew & Kristin’s channels also, but your hack is actually my favorite! I seriously think I may try this. I just have to look at the furniture dimensions to make sure they fit my space.
The lights are everything plus the whole entire concept keep'em coming KB. The frame hack is cool omg! thanks.
I wish I saw the IKEA desk hack before spending a thousand dollars on my current set up. The countertop makes total sense! Love all the hacks though.
I absolutely love ikea furniture for its hackability- while I too love real wood for certain types of pieces, you really just can’t beat ikea value. And if you change your mind about the piece, re hack it or start over lol I definitely plan to further hack my kallax with this door idea, and now thinking maybe I’ll try the pool noodle idea on my (previously😅) chalk painted couch. The bouclé or maybe a nice velvet…. 🤔 The curtain rod idea with canvases is sheer brilliance though! I could def see that on a super tall wall, maybe with a triple rod and then you could alternate which canvas is pulled down from day to day. I love it 😍
OMG I was looking for the PERFECT bookcase for a certain part of my home and could not find anything under $1500! I found a Havsta glass-front cabinet/bookcase that meets my needs and more for only $509. BLESS YOU.
Kiva thank you for the transcripts I appreciate it! It made it much easier to follow you, enjoyed your ikea hacks. Best wishes
Thank you for sharing the cabinets you made ❤️
I ❤ your home, it's so stylish and warm. You are my style inspiration for my living room. Thanks for sharing with us.
You are so generous and so talented. I love everything you do! Thanks
I love watching your videos!! Your so creative and ingenious!! And bonus you share others work!! Thank you for all you share!!
Amazing ideas, per usual! Def going to give the bookcase and pool noodle/ chair DIY a try. Thanks so much for sharing!
My fave hack was how to correctly fangirl about Lone Fox! 😆 I love both your guys’s videos!
Lowe's has a 6 pack of 12x12 mirrors for 14.98. that may be an alternative if Ikea is out.
You are very talented and creative. Your work speaks for itself and actually shows people you definitely know your profession, and are good at what you do. The main thing is that you enjoy it and it shows, and that does make people want to give you their business. I'd rather have someone who enjoys designing and coming up with creative ideas that I can see and make choices which are best for my personality, character and environment. Your shows are teaching, learning, very informative. You'd make a great teacher also. Why not write a course, a self home learning course and gather students, who can learn and benefit from your multi professionalism? Congratulations and much success!!
Perfect ideas!!! Definitely copying the one with the swimming noodles on a chair!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant! Thank you for the great hacks! I especially liked that you told us who you got the hacks from in the cases they weren't your own. I also liked how you commented on the hacks putting them into context! Very helpful indeed!
Yes to the LoneFox features! I've recently discovered his channel and love how creative he is! Him and XO, from MaCenna, I think the channel is, are some fun ones to watch, though there's very few of their projects I feel confident with trying myself 😅. I'll live vicariously through them.
Listen, I'm 27 yrs old and I'm just finding this side of KZread [owning my first home] , so I really appreciate the shout outs too! Yay got a new lil circle 😄😁💛

*Yes* . Great hacks Kiva! I also appreciate that you shared Lonefox and McGowen's creations.
Great video. Loved Lone Fox ‘s Billy hack and your book/shelving (been admiring it now for weeks).
Love the video KB !! Loaded with some good info and ideas and wow the hacks were amazing. The bookcase from lone wolf and the boucle chair. Thanks for always keeping your channel interesting 💗🌟👍

Girl chat away! We did the door front hack on our cube storage units! Love it however we had to cut our doors because we don't live near an IKEA. Great content as usual 💗
I did the Havsta hack in my dining room. I went with 3 side by side and its beautiful! I've also done a Hollywood vanity using the Alex hack
Kiva, you always make me laugh. You are too funny. Love these great ideas. And take care of the cold!
The Billy bookcase hack by Drew. Amazing!

I love the gold contact paper on the Malm! I would add clear knobs or rhinestone drawer pulls to glam it up.
Thank you😊 so much for these hacks. My favorite was the hanging drop down art canvas. Excellent idea. I did the mirror panes years ago in a rental but had to attach them to the wall pane by pane. Looked great pain to do. Your idea is the way to go!!
I so needed this video because I’ve been wracking my brain for ideas to refresh my office without spending half a years salary!
LOVE this video KB! My fav hack was the cabinets and desk 🙌🏽❣
Thank you for this video, your channel is one of my favorites. I really Loved th mirror idea, thinking about doing that in my gym area.
wow love that big gold-framed mirror!
WOW just WOW. So much here I want to try. Thank you!
Thanks. The first hack is my very favorite. I have been trying to figure out how to make a bookcase wall that has doors and goes to the 9’ ceiling. Totally perfect!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ so nice to see someone speed it up yet produce fav hacks I ❤️
Kiva!!! Your videos make me happy and inspired. My favorite is the art roll hack. Much love and happiness to you and Babe.

canvas roll - great idea for a large space!
i really enjoyed this..loved the desk hack
I finally got my Malm dresser. Every time I went into the site they were gone. I got the white and I'm waiting for my son to paint the room. Thank you for all of your design tips. Because of you I now don't just buy stuff because it's cute I now buy with purpose.
I’m sooo excited to finally know how and where you got your black bookcases in the background. Thank you for sharing. Billy book cases are out in my area but I keep checking.
OMG, the paper roll back is the best!
I really like this lady. She is very knowledgeable and has a vibrant personality.😊
Kiva, your material is so helpful! I'm taking ALL THE NOTES for when I get into my new house. Love your vids!

We did the Alex drawer hack for my husband (double desk) and I did a smaller version for myself. Found the Alex drawers on offer up and bought a wooden kitchen counter top from IKEA 🙉
I liked the billy book case but watching this inspired me!!
Wow your totally awesome, clever and inspiring thank you... you have got my creative juices flowing.... thank you bless you and Lol-lots of love ❣
I Love Drew he absolutely can take drab to Fabulous! Thanks for sharing all those hacks they are all fabulous.
Loved the mirror idea. My style is urban industrial and I can't wait to try this hack. 😀
Love that cabinet, I was actually looking at one yesterday, with a hefty pricetag.👍
I love the cabinets going to try that
So right I did the same thing with the ikea billy bookcases and added extension unit open cabinet on top bolted it to the wall and add the doors on it this looks so good on both sides of my focal point wall and acts as a display and book shelf
I am so glad I found this video! I wanted the billy look but the shoe molding cut out is was killing it for me because we have large shoe molding. This is so much better.
Scott at Lone Fox is a marvel. I LUV him. These are great hacks. Thank you .
Awesome job on the tall cabinets. You are right about RH prices.
Wow, you have a beautiful house. Love the ceilings and the huge window arch’s.
Love the chair by Drew n the desk idea. Thanks for the education of getting more for less. Cudos
Love your content and enthusiasm. Please slow down and breathe 🕊️
I’m so grateful for you guys’ creativity cause goodness knows I’m not creative😄
LOVE that your hacks are soooo affordable..!!! (ps. I too, love Drew's channel.) I seem to always have ppl giving me their small bookcases.. and when I get 4, I stack them up, so now I have 2 tall bookcases.!! Great video, as always.!! jo

I remember buying a diaper changing table from IKEA. It came with two towers of drawers two ‘U’ shaped pieces that you can attach to the top of each drawer towers and one piece of wood to go across the top to make a table. This was for my daughter when she was born, (she will be 34 at the end of this month.). When she got older, the two ‘U’ shapes can be removed and it became a desk for her to use. Later she used the drawers for end tables next to her bed. She used this, until she bought her own home 5 years ago. It was then given to charity as it still was in good shape after almost 30 years. This goes to show you how much wear and different designs you can make out of IKEA furniture.
Off topic where did you get your dining chairs?
fantastic ideas in this video. it made me so happy to watch it and get lots of new ideas for how to transform my apartment. thanks for sharing!
I've been watching your channel for a few months now, but this is probably my favorite video of yours - really great stuff. P.S., love your nails!
