    I love the book storage hack!!! So creative!

  2. Kyle Hutchins on July 9, 2021 at 2:43 am

    When she cut the book my eyes popped out of my head like why if their vintage

  3. My3uce3 on July 9, 2021 at 2:49 am

    Why not use prepasted sticky shelving paper.. you guys talk too much, need to ff to the end..

  4. Torrey Cates on July 9, 2021 at 2:49 am

  5. BG Hair and Beauty on July 9, 2021 at 2:50 am

    I watched till the end …. I’m unimpressed

  6. carla ciampi on July 9, 2021 at 2:55 am

    Cute show…but why wouldn’t you have the desk facing out with your back to the closet wall. just wondering??

  7. flower garden on July 9, 2021 at 2:56 am

    It looks great! The only thing I would say is do not kill animals for your fashion… I do not like the dead cow on the floor or your coat made of dead fox. Just be mindful of what you are buying… those use to be live beings…

    someone who doesn’t read or appreciate books will destroy books. lovely decor by the way but stop ruining books

  9. Mari Rodriguez on July 9, 2021 at 2:56 am

    Turned out so pretty…Love the wallpaper. ( #RelationshipGoals ) Beautiful couple. :))

    "This is my guy…" Doesn’t know his name

  11. Fatimah X on July 9, 2021 at 3:01 am

    Hmmmm I actually liked the book spined baskets…I think I’m more concerned about where she’ll put all of her clothes

  12. Elusive Illusion on July 9, 2021 at 3:03 am

    U just made me so super sad 😔. Cutting books let alone vintage books is sacrilege. 🤬

  13. Suzana Demiranda Rao on July 9, 2021 at 3:05 am

    Very cool.

  14. Abby M on July 9, 2021 at 3:06 am

    Everyone seriously needs to get over the books.
    Old encyclopedias don’t even contain current information. AND she prevented these books from being thrown into landfills because that’s where unwanted books go. Recycling plants can’t process books with the covers on them because of the different materials, so now those pages can be recycled.
    The alternative was them probably not selling on Ebay (because most people don’t have room for a whole set of outdated encyclopedias) and being taken to a thrift store. Whatever thrift stores don’t sell gets tossed. They would have sat in a landfill for years.

    Beautiful

  16. Maroon Ama on July 9, 2021 at 3:06 am

  17. katekayak on July 9, 2021 at 3:08 am

    Oh man, she always has to destroy books, thats horrible

  18. G94 on July 9, 2021 at 3:12 am

    what happens when they break up?

  19. Prathama Roy on July 9, 2021 at 3:12 am

    The one thing I really hate ; cutting the books it really hurts but ..
    Now book acctually means ……… not a thing to read but to design only😔

  20. Kishori madhavi Devi dasi on July 9, 2021 at 3:13 am

    Excellent 👍👌

  21. Mary Palmer on July 9, 2021 at 3:13 am

    For all you book lovers, who I’ll bet doesn’t read them, what do you want done with all the books in the world? With all the technology, e-readers, audiobooks, etc, nobody is using them so they go to landfills. I like the idea of using them for decor, same as a tree for furniture. Great use of space, I love it!

  22. Ofelia Flores on July 9, 2021 at 3:15 am

    Why ruin the books nooooo

  23. machste gut on July 9, 2021 at 3:15 am

    Wow. She really is in love with dead animals skin. She should add some of her boyfriend to make it even more personal.

  24. Strawberryshortcake on July 9, 2021 at 3:15 am

    I don’t understand those fake book storage basket. What’s the point??? It’s so silly to pretend to to have lots of books on your shelves. So use nicer storage boxes and be done with the whole thing or look for more functional shelves with drawers or something. This is so nonsensical.

  25. Shandra Newell on July 9, 2021 at 3:16 am

    I love it but the books ???

  26. Amma ka Khazana on July 9, 2021 at 3:17 am

    I wish you could do it In my daughter’s messy closet too

  27. Anna James on July 9, 2021 at 3:19 am

    Ok – she’s deliberately triggering book lovers 😧

  28. 王若冰 on July 9, 2021 at 3:19 am

    A nice way of saying “he sounds dumb but once I really think about what he’s saying I can sort of see where he’s coming from and turns out to be kinda valid”

  29. wingspan65 on July 9, 2021 at 3:20 am

    To cut book covers to make a…basket?? No and no.

  30. emmy on July 9, 2021 at 3:20 am

    2:29 he looks like macklemore haha

  31. Professional Commenter on July 9, 2021 at 3:22 am

    Why didn’t she just redo the whole room instead of that closet?

  32. TheRobblue on July 9, 2021 at 3:24 am

    Cutting books to turn into a storage box😢 just wrong, and that light fitting far too big for that space, overall far too over the top and impractical…missed the whole point of having an office in a closet…normally done if you have a small space so you can close the doors and hide it away, you had a whole room there?? so why use the closet?? this is just bad design…design is supposed to enhance and utilize the space you have…this was just an Instagram photo op…overindulged not a designer…

  33. Papeeshka on July 9, 2021 at 3:24 am

    I can’t believe she gave up her closet space. Where did all the clothes go? And why no standing desk? Also why does this make sense when it totally blocks the door next to it? So many unanswered qs! I love the idea of gold wallpaper to reflect light for video chats but you want lighting on each side of your face not just above you right? I guess the shelves can hold led panels. I wish she would do an update video to make this space work for zoom calls!

  34. Linh Tran on July 9, 2021 at 3:25 am

    I find it funny that people get so butt-hurt over the books but I am 99.9% sure these people can’t remember the last time they purchased/read an actual book. Using your tablets, smart phones and e-readers to do all of these things, including watching YouTube on said devices to be judgmental keyboard warriors.

  35. sweetpeace5 on July 9, 2021 at 3:26 am

    No. I will never sit at a desk staring at a wall. Maybe sitting with your back to that mess? The whole thing is just wrong & perhaps part of my disdain is him “giving her (this tiny closet in a big ass house) for an office” Gross.

  36. Selin Coskun on July 9, 2021 at 3:26 am

    This is completely useless and too trendy that it’s not going to last.

  37. Ana Pastori on July 9, 2021 at 3:27 am

    I do not appreciate faking those books just to show off how literate you are !! That kinda shows how illiterate those dumb rich people (who only love to show off ) are. You wanna fake it then fake it really well…..this is so stupid !! Doesn’t even look good coz it’s so against the gravity and physics, looks so odd right in the middle all those books standing still and not even leaning on any sides lol Pathetic design idea sorry !! Way too glam and sorry way too fake…..absolutely hated it!!!!!

  38. T A on July 9, 2021 at 3:28 am

    But where are you gonna put your clothes…

  39. RuffnTuff2021 on July 9, 2021 at 3:30 am

    Still asking…why just the closet? Why not the whole bedroom into an office?!

  40. Eiji did nothing wrong on July 9, 2021 at 3:30 am

    Books are wonderful (I read upwards of twenty per year), but this comment section is honestly ridiculous. Ya’ll are really losing your minds over a few old encyclopedias being used as decor? Do you have any idea what’s happening in the world right now, how fucking BAD things are? Seriously, find something worthwhile to worry about.

  41. calmingspirit1 on July 9, 2021 at 3:31 am

    OMG! She talks too much. Plus…why would you have the table and chair stick out that far…how is anyone getting into that room with that chair in the way?

  42. Amanda Ray on July 9, 2021 at 3:31 am

    Great finished nook! You made a perfect office area out of the closet, which is amazing. Just because you have more space doesn’t mean you have to use it!

  43. Traveling Bagel on July 9, 2021 at 3:33 am

    I’m confused, so what are they using the actual room for if she’s only allowed to put her office in a reach in closet?

  44. Jackie Anderson on July 9, 2021 at 3:34 am

    Nice different..

  45. kittybitmeagain on July 9, 2021 at 3:34 am

    It doesn’t fit in the closet. What’s the point?!

  46. Deer Heart on July 9, 2021 at 3:34 am

    It was crap let’s face it , old shit made with sticky glue and cardboard # not awesome # not good job ….

  47. Interested Observer on July 9, 2021 at 3:35 am

    Why didn’t you just use the whole room?!!!

  48. Brian About Town on July 9, 2021 at 3:35 am

    You can’t convince me she’s going to sit at that flimsy piece of furniture, facing the wall of a closet and get any work done. It’s all accessories

  49. Helena Estrela on July 9, 2021 at 3:37 am

    Omg love the wall paper, great job

  50. Amaterasu on July 9, 2021 at 3:38 am
