She is a hard worker, methodical, and pays attention to detail!

Girl, you’ve got mad DIY skills!!! You make it look all too easy, I’m binging your channel and I’m obsessed! Xoxo, your newest fan, Kim

She is ABOVE AVERAGE in skills and in tools, yet humble in a humorous way.

I’m blown away 😮 iv can image a husband going off to work and coming home to this!

I love the level of confidence you have while kicking that wall in… 👏😅

Really appreciate for you doing this! Watching you do it step by step has increased my confidence to get this done at my place!

AMAZING!!! Finally, after watching a ton of KZfaq videos of tv/fireplace built in's, yours is exactly what I was searching for. Your work is inspiring for a girl like me who's never used a power tool. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽 that I can replicate your wall. Just patiently waiting on the Billy's to be in stock. Thank you again for sharing. I just Subscribed 💖

This is amazing, you killed it and thanks for sharing you DIY journey with us all. You are skilled, determined and have a very kind spirit!

MOST INCREDIBLE IKEA HACK BUILT IN VIDEO!!! Ever! Loved it! You have crazy awesome DIY skills. Would love to see more detailed instructions for basic beginners like myself. Very inspiring...kudos Kelsey!

I was just telling my husband we could add more Billy shelves to our Billy shelves we already have flanking the fireplace and add trim to make them look like built-ins. Then I found your video!!!! I'll have to show him what you did. So nicely done! 👍

Thank you for this. I'm doing something similar and had read/watched what feels like a million tutorials, but yours is the first that actually *showed* me what I needed to see for it all to click. Subscribed and will check out the rest of your videos!

Absolutely love this video. We are doing the same thing on our fireplace wall. We only have room for one Billy bookcase on each side. We frameed them in. Then we built a new wall above the fireplace that is even with the bookcases. I did a vertical ship lap on that new wall where the TV will go. Everything is done except for painting and a few trim pieces. I loved what you did!

I like your attitude, you're willing to learn on the go. You are indeed a doer and worth watching. My eyes bugged out a bit when I saw how high you left your saw blade while cutting your trim casing.

Years of DIY under the watchful eye of my professional son taught me to not take short cuts and do it right the first time. This would have made me finish the drywall in the corner too. You are a very handy lady!

You are amazing! I just watched this video and was like "Wow, She did that"! 😊💯

Very NICE job Kelsey - impressive construction details and nice customization touches :-)

Omggg you have gained another fan amongst the many others you already have lol. This is exactly how I want my living room. You are definitely talented you motivate me to start doing diy projects. Thanks for sharing your journey with us

Honestly, this discouraged me more to try this because it would never look this good! You ma’am are AMAZING and made it look TOO easy.

Absolutely love this! As a bit of a noob to DIY I find your build inspirational! I personally like a darker aesthetic so I would do like a dark oak style as apposed to the white!

Wow very impressive video and what a great outcome congratulations! I really enjoyed the process and got lots of building tips as well. Thank-you.

What an awesome project you did. Makes me think I CAN do my craft room. And I won’t have to even move a door. But let’s give credit where credit is due. You keep saying we however, you are the only one I see doing any work! And it is fabulous work! Very inspiring. I love how you go into details

Love the entire thing. Exactly what I want in my home. You have great diy skills. I don't know if I can do all that. But, at least I know how now and can certainly direct it to get done. Thanks for sharing.

For an European like me - it’s unbelievable how she made a hole in the wall 😂😂 My daughter wanted to do the same - we needed the expertise from an structural engineer - and then it needed a lot of time to fix it - because the wall is from concrete wall. Chapeau - good job for sure 👏 Love from Austria/Europe 🇦🇹

You kicked major butt on this project. So impressed!

Um…. Yes!!!!! You are amazing!!!! And it turned out beautifully. Great job!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Ma’am!! You’re real life wife goals! This was awesome 🥹

I wish I was this talented… in the meantime I’ll just keep watching you living through your work lol

You did a beautiful job!! Can't wait for the next video!!

Incredible!! That was the word that came to mind when watching you build this & then seeing the reveal.....You did such an amazing job with this project & boy does it change the whole look of the living room! You made it look so easy too! I realize the magic of editing makes everything look MUCH easier than it is but still!! You were so enjoyable to watch...I subscribed ♥

You are quite the builder! Amazing! 😊

Wow gorgeous! Great job

I was going to buy wall cabinets and use them as the base and then floating shelves, but I love this so much more.

Fantastic! Refreshing change from females talking about their amazing builds and hacks and then 'getting a man in'. You are an inspiration.

Omg! You are superwoman!!! You are doing such an amazing job! 👏🏻👍🏼

That came out way better than I expected. Will definitely watch more of your work! Subbed!

Hey, you could get a cheap motion sensor light switch for the closet, or else they make something called a door jam switch which installs in the door frame and when the door opens it activates the light (the same way a fridge light works)

That looks fantastic! Exactly what I want for my basement living room.

Wow, I'm so impressed!! Great job. You got me rethinking spending the thousands a contractor quoted me.

Great video! My kids enjoyed learning how you made the closet door dissappear 🙂

The Billy bookcases are so great, I just bought a few (Was difficult to get them) and made over my MB closet. I LOVE the built in idea and you did it all by yourself - you are awesome. I really like your channel, just found you 2 weeks ago and am watching your older videos along with your new ones.

DIY?! This is construction. 😂 I'm super impressed!

Hi, Kelsey, Just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed. I had been thinking of doing something like this in my family room. Absolutely amazing. You are one of the very best DIY-ers I have seen on KZfaq. Great job!

Love it already build my fireplace was waiting on the bookcase to come back in stock in my location . Ordering 2 + the extension . Awesome job 👌👍.

Wow….just wow! You have made me rethink getting someone in to do a similar thing. Fantastic job! Well done 🙌🏻

We took a closet and reversed it into the kitchen it just so happened that closet was in the perfect place for a pantry. We sold that home and are in another home doing projects.

Wow! Just wow! I’m impressed. ❤so creative.

I came across your channel because I trying to get inspired to add Billy bookcase to my owners suite. I want storage for my shoes and accessories

So Impressed! You are amazingly talented. Love it!

You are absolutely amazing, this is a project I would love to work on. I will definitely be waiting for any new videos from you. Great job ❤❤😊

Amazing job! This inspired me. Thank you for sharing your skills and talents with us.

You smoked this!!! I learned something too so kudos to you!!

Thanks for the inspiration, just built mine. I’m well chuffed with the result.

I love this, but I am one of those who needs more detail. If they are just quick videos, it seems more like a vanity project. Having said that, this looks absolutely awesome, and you should be super proud.

How do you not have millions of followers??? Youre SO GOOD!

I’ve wanted to do this in my media room for forever. This video made it not look so intimidating.

Looks fantastic! Wonderful job!!

What a great job! very motivating and inspiring !!!! .... so awesome ..... GirlPower!!!

Wow, you so talented! And it looks so amazing.

That project turned out amazing

You are a bad ass! Got me thinking I can conquer anything! I'm ready to go out and buy some damn tools! Amazing!

Sooooo...can you come help me😫?? But seriously that looks amazing!!! You did an awesome job!!!👏🏾

Fast delivery - beautiful , easy to install! My neighbor is ordering one as well! 60 inch is perfect size if you want it to be the center piece of the room!

WOW! You did a great job. It looks great.

Great job. I'm impressed. Looking to do something similar, haven't decided on a final design. Looks great

Wow! Beautiful! I have a question about the cords and how you access them to change out the TV. Do you need to remove the fireplace? I couldn't figure out how you reached in there to plug in the fireplace and tv 😁

This is insanely impressive. The build quality on this is equal to or greater than that of youtubers with far more views. Keep it up! I love that this is one video, but if I was in your shoes, I'd consider splitting something like this up into 2-3 videos. You could explain a tiny bit more and get a lot of views!

You got skills! I love this!!!

Wow, so impressive Kelsey! We are going to follow you step by step to get this done for our new house. Kind of nervous cause we are not handy at all lol🤣😂

You are so talented!!

Omg I wish I could just work with you to learn!!! You are my Shero!!!

Great job!! It looks awesome and you do make it look so easy!

Your tutorial is by far the BEST! My only question is how did you connected the TV ? Can I also know the measurements for the TV space? .thanks

You're so amazing Kelsey. I wish I had your talents... and your tools. haha.

Beautifully done!

Precioso trabajo, te ha quedado fantástico

Bravooooo! Looks beautiful!!!

A crown molding will give more luxury feel to it..

Your skills are awesome! I'm so glad I came upon your channel. Definitely subscribed. Thanks for sharing.

I love it!! You are a total bad ass gurl!!!!!!!!!

Great Job!!! you made it look so easy, thanks for sharing with us........

We could not do that whole door think cause our walls are made from brick but this video has definitely inspired me to get a fixer upper like I always wanted

I never comment on anything. Hell girl im so doing this after surgery. 1 book shelf either side with a bottom faux fireplace as i live in a very hot state in Australia. thankyou i can do this.

It's awesome Would appreciate a link for the small woods used as background for the tv n fire place 🙏

Looks great! The problem I have in general with TV’s mounted over fireplaces is that they’re always positioned too high, which makes for an uncomfortable viewing angle.

OMG. That looks great and gives me a couple of ideas for some built-ins that I've been kicking around in my head for a couple of years :). Maybe you didn't video it but, I didn't see you make provisions for the power and cabling for the TV, soundbar, and fire place. Is that a separate video?

Really good job! 😊. Love it. Would love to see more

Amazing! I'm attempting something similar in January. On the Ikea website the doors seem to have the handle holes pre-drilled. But your cabinet doors came without holes right? And where did you get the handles? :) Thanks in advance

Ha quedado genial👍

A friend had suggested I go the IKEA route as it will be more cost effective. This is definitely true; however, unfortunately I do not have DIY building skills 😏

Hey! Love it! Just curious if you made pocket holes for electric? How did you plug your sound bar in? Also are there outlets inside the cabinets? ❤️

This was so good!

Ur supposed to put a plate over the old light switch to let others know there is electrical there. This will prevent anybody from drilling any holes or proceeding with caution if they should ever do any construction around that area.

Watch at 2x speed, way better

Fantastic job. Looks amazing. Subscribed !

Wow! I usually sit staring at my wall envisioning how it could look if I do this and that, but unfortunately, my fear of ruining the walls, stops me from actually doing it! Seeing you is like seeing the ideal version of me. Thank you for sharing this beautiful project....Is there any way you can do a video showing how to use the nail gun, etc? Maybe even share with us how you learned to use these tools? Would be great to learn more about you. Ok, now I am on to watching all of your videos...:)

Wow so talented

You are so inspiring!!

Looks great!

So impressive! I'm getting great ideas from you

Kelsey I am impressed!!! Great job girl! Tell me how did you know what kind of wood and what size you should buy? I have 3 peace’s of ikea here and I would like to transform them into a library ( big bookcase)… please help me with your ideas……
