Thank you. I’m just doing the other side of the fireplace now. Will be slightly different as the gap is smaller. New video up soon.

@@kirstygriffiths749 Thank you for replying, I will be happy to see the new vid! May I double-check with you the exact steps you followed to build the external frame? From what I understand, you screwed the wood onto the walls, then attached the 6mm MDF onto the wood just with glue and then used the filler in the gaps? Is this correct? I'm considering doing something similar for an Ikea Pax wardrobe and I just have 5cm each side to fill...I was thinking to use just mdf but I'm not sure how I'm going to attach it... thank you so much just for reading all this :)

I would love to build this in my home, thank you greatly for sharing this guide!

I LOVE your projects. I am attempting something similar this weekend. Did you paint the shelves? Did you prime them first and what primer / paint did you use. Thank you ❤️

Love this how to, you’re so talented! What tool do you use to cut the curved pieces please? You’re so inspiring but I’m so scared to use power tools 😅

rough edges? I don't really have any? no sanding on this job really. I don't have a gap at the bottom? the MDF covers everything.

Great job 😮❤

What a fantastic job!! Amazing and inspiring! I’m thinking of doing something similar but putting the wallpaper on the back of the original wooden board that comes with the IKEA shelves. Is there any reason you would think that wouldn’t work? I thought it might eliminate the problem of dealing with the little gap at the back of the units.. thoughts are welcome 😊

@kirstygriffiths749

I think you could easily add to the back , I bought one of my units second hand with no back so wallpapered the wall.
