In time, you will look at this project and have awesome memories doing this build-in with your dad. Throughout the years, I’ve learned a lot from my dad (how to paint, tile, and build) while growing up and when returning home due to my mom’s bad health (sadly, she has since passed away) I had done with my dad (he’s now 89)and now I know things & pass down the knowledge I’ve learned from dad to my children. As I’m disabled, I talk and review with my children as to begin and complete their project(s). My children understand how to build items and are very creative (like I was taught by my dad, their grandfather)…these are the BEST MEMORIES!!!!!! !! You guys did an AWESOME JOB with your build-in project.

Hi Amanda, Great to meet you i also live in Ontario, I clicked on your video by mistake but the energy you give in your video drew me in. I love what you have done in your bedroom it looks fantastic. I too have done built in in the past and i have done many more things as well, tiling, plumbing, electrical i have sanded down hardwood floors and refinished them and replace cabinetry and built my own book cases and i have built horse stalls and cleaned a barn that hadn't had animals in for over 20 years and everything was still left there when we moved in in October of 2023 and i mean everything Shavings hay and all the recycled material you could imagine, yep that!. As a woman myself, i have always pushed back when they say women can't do this kind of thing, when really we are just as capable as any man who can do the same thing. If taught correctly how things are done we can accomplish anything we set our hearts and minds to do and do it just as well as anyone else out there. Ikea is an amazing store and i could spend days in there looking around and find something i want to buy, but i have animals now and getting some more in the spring and i have to fix up this old barn to make better use of the barn. We need more women doing this kind of thing its inspiring and its fun too to create something yourself and it matches the vision in your head is an amazing feeling. I have subscribed to your channel and i would love to see more of your channel in the near future. God bless you for your inspiration and enthusiasm too, its electric for sure. love the light fixtures too amazing choice and very glamorous too.

Yeah I had to fast forward through the outfit talk and all of the talking in the mirror. The project turned out great…your dad did an amazing job!

Excellent effort. As someone who designs millwork you need 2-3” filler on the ends of the cabinets to move them away from the walls, looks more intentional and expensive, especially behind the curtains, even a 4-6” filler or drapery recess. Also. I would have done cord management and hid the cord next the right cabinet inside the cabinet. Lastly, that crown is so ornate. A large simple cove on top of a fascia, touching the ceiling would make a better statement. You guys a cute though.

An ornate oval mirror will be perfect above the fireplace ❤

We are using 36" wall kitchen cabinets we got at an Auction, putting small feet on it to use as a base, then bookshelves

For a great piece of artwork to enjoy above the fireplace, might I suggest Michael Fratrich's Ten One Gallery in Lamberville, New Jersey. My son treated me to a weekend there last Autumn. We chatted with Michael - this is truly one of my very favorite galleries. His art is so calming and just lovely. Hope you can take a look. Carry on!!!!

Oh so grateful KZread brought you to this cozy nook of the internet! I will be sure to check out that gallery. Sounds absolutely perfect 🥰 Thanks for the recommendation!

Great job!! Dads are the best! As for art, seek out a local artist (or me) to get just what you prefer, to have something original, and to help a fellow creative!! So many people go the route of cheap mass produced work when a local artist's work is so much more meaningful. I'm an artist and I have been getting more and more commissions over the last few years because people want that person touch and unique work. Good luck!
