I'm back with another IKEA hack | DIY Kallax storage bench
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Hi friends! Rach here, and I’m back with another episode of Project Profit! This is the series where I finds free or low cost second hand items with the goal of trying to flip them for some cash. All profits made from the series are donated to various charitable causes!
Super excited to show you all this simple and elevated IKEA hack. Today we are turning a basic (but beloved) IKEA KALLAX unit, into a stunning blue storage bench with arched fronts!
We are happy to announce (based on your amazing suggestions) the remaining profits of just over $1000 will be going to go to Days for Girls. This is an organization that works to eliminate the stigma and limitations associated with menstruation by providing access to adequate supplies and education so that women and girls have improved health and livelihoods.

The eyebrows take her 'Phoebe' weird girl vibes to the appropriate level to match her personality. Before she looked too normal for her awesomeness.

💖 and how amazing was this IKEA HACK?
Absolutely LOVE this bench - goes perfectly in my space 🩵
I'm excited for From the Workshop Floor! Saturday mornings are my "cozy videos" mornings and this is going to really hit the spot! See you Saturday!
I'm so glad you offered your audience members a chance to buy it! I would love to see that continue in future DIY projects too
Good to see you back! When they said there was some changes coming up, i got worried.

RACHAEL!!! I don’t know if you can tell but we’ve all missed you ❤
i feel like it would also be so cute in a dual tone such as olive and maroon for the arches

Yessss! I was just sitting and thinking wow I think I would like it in the sort of a mauve-ish pink with some other color as a contrast
I was unsure about the blue at first but it's such a pretty colour! An achievable DIY too! I unfortunately don't have room for a workshop in my little condo to attempt this, but that's what parents and their fully decked out garage is for 😉 Can't wait for the new series on Saturday! Much love from Montreal 🩷

yess!! we love a kallax flip, and we love a charity donation! ✨
I am so excited that you girls will be appearing together on Saturdays!! It will be great. Yesssss!!!!
I love Rachael’s energy and style, so I’m super excited to see a new video featuring her! That light blue color is beautiful! Light and dusty/muted blues are one of my colors that I love decorating with! I’ve been OBSESSED with blue lately.
Ahhh I loved the orange too, but I'm glad the blue won out instead of the cream!
Well done Rachel!!! Glad to see you back. I love this series because of the donations to charity!!
happy to see rachel back! this bench turned out great, I especially like how the arches look! I think I voted for the orange color in ig but now I think it would've been too dark. personally I would've painted it a warm yellow if I was making it, but this blue is the best one from the colors you were choosing from!

That’s genius!
The ikea hacks are coming in strong lately. Love it!!
I’m glad to see you back! We missed you. I like the piece a lot, I think it’s a super cool way to use a kallax unit and I haven’t seen someone turn it in it’s side like this. One change I would make (just cause I love tall arches) is putting four legs and having them be where the side of the arches come down so it looks like the arches are part of the structural design of the piece. Such a cool idea, I hope I find a kallax unit to do this to
So, so, SO Happy To see you Rachael!!!!!! Always love the channel uploads but, oh my word, i was a lil worried about you girl! ❤ stunning you, and stunning project - as ALWAYS!!!!!!!
I just love the Project Profit series!! One of my favs 🎉
I love it! I would have done the main piece blue and the cut outs that orange but I love it
Great makeover, fun show, nice eyebrows! Looking forward to Saturday mornings.
I LOVE your creations, Rachael. This bench is beautiful and the person who now owns it is lucky. 🧡
Super excited you guys are doing another upload day! Looking forward to the new series!! 🧡💛💚💙

I really like the arches; adds a bit of fun/flair; thinking I may just steal this idea for a chest I already own. 🤔 Glad to see you abd excited fir the upcoming new adventures!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! Have a blessed day and a fantabulous week!! xxoo
Great idea, turning a shelf unit into a bench, well done and the arches add a great touch, really elevates the piece.

So excited for the new series
Wow! this looks so good. Love the creative design
We’ve been missing project profit videos!
It looks great, Rachel! ❤️👍
I really liked the two-tone colour of the MDF and wood and would love one painted that way, this looked great!
I've seen this done so much but no one ever really covers the weight limit. Imagine two people who are 175lbs sit on this .. then what? can it withstand? I'd say 175 is a standard weight across the board.. what are your thoughts here?

The feet don’t look sturdy enough for 2 people that's for sure...

Missed you Rachel!
Very nice bench. I think I like the rust color better. :) Just because you have the glue in your storage room does not mean it is free. You should always calculate or tack on 1.00 at least. One day you will have to buy more glue and the good stuff is expensive. I was told that as a professional artist, a portion of the cost of art is the tools. A few cents/dollars here and there for brushes, as they do wear out, a portion for palette use, a portion for paint used, etc. You put that cost money in a jar for restocking your supplies. NOW.. this works the other way too... if you buy a pail of paint but don't use all of it on a project... you don't charge the full cost to the project. Fair is fair. I know a lot of people would say this is too much work or too nit picky with pennies.. fair enough, but you don't have to measure the glue in the entire bottle, use some, then measure again, figure out the amount you used, figure out the tax, etc. Use guestimate sense. :) As this was for charity, it is great that you did not charge for all those things. :)
Very excited about the new show! I’m too impatient to only have one video per week 😂. To K & B, how far you’ve come and grown this empire from DIY Halloween costumes to renovating full houses, is astounding!
I love this series!
Because of the color and the arches, it looks like a cloud ☁
Love these type of videos glad your back❤😊
Awesome job! It is beautiful. I’m wondering if this piece could have had a center support?
RACHEL !!! we missed you on the channel !!
I love that the blue color won! I didn’t vote, but I was holding my breath at that part 😅
Make the lid a front door! As a person who lives with several handy dandy storage benches, they're actually not that handy when you have to take all the plants and pillows off every time you need to access the storage. If you're doing this DIY, simply flip the design so that the cubbies face out and the door flips down. Storage and display forever in harmony.
yay so happy you are donating to days for girls!
Rachael 🤩🤩🤩🤩 missed you girl! Love your style
Yaaayyy, we love Rachel and the blonde brows!! Well done once again ❤👏🏽

Ouuu I’m so pumped for the next one
Yay, Project Profit! It's been a minute.
Good hack, easy way to make a great storage bench.
Rachael! It's so good to see you!
I am very sceptical about those legs… do they hold the weight if someone sits on the bench?
Love it.
I was just looking at overlays on Etsy just like this!
More content! Yes 🙌🏾
omfg ‘Kissin Kate Barlow’ that’s who you remind me of!!! you and Patricia Arquette are absolutely stunnin! 😌💖🫶🏽
Welcome back!!!! I was wondering where you were Rachel!!!!

Can you do an IKEA hack for adding drawers to a Havsta base cabinet?? 🎉❤❤
Cool project but 40$ is way too much for a second hand Kallax. Looking forward to the Saturday show!
Awesome dyi, love the colour. I'm still crossing my fingers and am hoping you donate to Redwood Park Communities!
