I took lots of upholstery classes and upholstered a lot. Here is a trick I learned from Olie, my teacher, who was a professional upholster for 50 yrs. Take off the legs (or arms) if you can when upholstering. You will be able to pull the fabric and won't have the worry of y-cuts. So, in making your ottoman, you could have stapled on the fabric first, then added the screw on legs. Just a thought. I love your DIYs

There's do-it-yourself, and then there's build-it-better-yourself and I am here for it!

The cat litter box is pure genius! So brilliant and beautiful!

@christinejoy3030 8 months ago

I miss your brilliant ideas. Came back to see if you had posted anything. Hope you’re ok.

Of all the things you did, the one thing I liked best was that little tip about using a plastic cup to catch the dust when drilling a hole in the ceiling. I've done a lot of DIY over the years, and I can't believe I didn't come up with something like that to help cut down on cleanup time.

I love the room divider, the cat scratch post legs on the table and, the private kitty privy! So clever! Thanks for sharing!

Maybe add a motion sensor small light inside the kitty box so your cat can see when he's going

@Joyfullscroll 2 years ago

You could get a battery operated Motion Sensor for the inside of your cat litter box. Sòme cats don't like total dark.😊

I used to watch your videos faithfully, then you disappeared. I was scrolling the other day an ran across this one, hope you're back doing videos. You always had good content, easy instructions, practical & affordable projects. TY.

Love the room divider, the kitchen cart/island, and the cat litter box “house”, which, I think is my favorite.

@momentswithyahya4239 2 years ago

It’s good to see you are still here making awesome YouTube videos! 😎

@yasminedey8612 2 years ago

I think your cat would feel more comfortable with a light in the box😉

@HerculeseBaby 2 years ago (edited)

Now these are some good hacks! Eyeshadow - clever!
And I love how they are all inexpensive, practical and look good. IKEA and dollar store pieces all affordable - thank you 🙏

@suecox2308 2 years ago

It's good to see you back again.

The cat litter box is absolutely genius

@OldsouLim73 2 years ago

Omg a plastic cup using while drilling, AWESOME!

@1Lindafreeman 2 years ago

I was so glad to see your return!

The eye shadow solution reminded me of when I was first married I tried my hand at wallpapering….what a disaster! The paper was bright red and rather thin. After the paste dried, the seams popped open making a red and white striped paper. So I took a red magic marker and colored in all the white bits. Really disguised the problem!
