 McKenna! From XO McKenna. I think you guys kind of saw it in my last video, which was a kitchen makeover video. And I featured a clip with her because we went, we actually met last week and we found out that we live next door to each other. Right down there. Literally next door, not actually, but we probably live like a two minute drive. Maybe. Maybe. You guys were like commenting and sending us like DMs and stuff. And you were like so excited. So we're like, oh yeah. Hello, today we're at a thrift store. We're at, what's your sources? Share ourselves. Share ourselves, the thrift store. And we are gonna be doing a thrift flip over on my channel, which is kind of like your specialty. My thing? Like I've been doing a lot of thrift flips lately. You're a famous thrift flifter. Yeah. Oh. A thrift flip fanatic. And on your channel, we're doing an Ikea hacks video, which is kind of like my thing to do. So we're kind of like flopping, flopping, flipping, we're flip flopping our kind of like main videos. Not main videos, but like the ones we do a lot of. Yeah. And what I'm known for, we're gonna. Swap them. We're gonna swap them. And do a collab. And they're both gonna be up at the same time. So you guys go and watch. You can only go check out McKenna's video. And then if you're coming from McKenna's video, hello. I post a brand new home decor and DIY content every single week, just like McKenna. So you can subscribe down below, click that bell icon. But I think we should just like run inside. Yeah. And get started. Yeah. Okay, immediately upon walking in, we see this. I don't like the glass top. I'm not a huge fan of glass tops. I don't know why. Just not very chic, but like look at that. We're gonna leave this by the front door though. And check out other things out. We're on an adventure. Yeah. I do need that actually. Oh my gosh. We found this. This is hideous. So whoever had this in this house, luckily they got rid of this. It's all like sun damage. It's like sun. This is probably like outdoor furniture. Don't you think? Oh yeah. Probably outdoor. But I thought what we can do is do the same concept. So maybe we can like sand down the wood and then redo like a woven top for it. But maybe out of a different fabric or a leather or faux leather or something along the lines of that. This would be open only $10. We've also found a lot of these really cool magazine holders. Is that what this is? Yeah. Oh. Whoa. It's so cool. We're thinking that we can deconstruct this and use the wood and maybe make something else out of that. Gosh, what is this? Oh my gosh, there's contact paper too. Look at this. Oh. Wait. It looks really pretty. It looks like it should go on like a ceiling. You know, like a ceiling. Like we can definitely do something with this. What is that? It looks like we're in a scary movie. Like this room is scary. If anyone knows what this is, please comment it below because we have no idea. This is the other one that I was talking about. Okay, we have grabbed all of the items. This one, this one, this one, this one. How does LA get so dark now? This is crazy. Okay guys, I wanted to share with you. This is how much I ended up spending $26.16 on all four of these items. So we're gonna have a substantial amount of projects in this video, hopefully. We're gonna hope they turn out good, but we never know. So we're gonna head to Ikea to go buy stuff for McKenna's video right now. Yeah, Ikea. Guys, so it is the next day. We're actually at McKenna's apartment right now. And we are going to start with our DIY projects. And typically I do like voiceovers for mine. I didn't want to do a voiceover because I just wanted us to actually like just like have fun with it. And not interact well. Yeah, interact and like just actually share with you guys our thoughts of making the projects. All right, so the first project that we are doing is actually with this little magazine holder. But you can really use it for whatever you want to. And we found this at the thrift store. It was $12, but it was actually half off because all the furniture was half off. So it was $6. I feel like this just kind of dates it. I mean, I didn't love with this kind of rich look. It looks like bamboo, which I just think it just doesn't look like the vibe. I'm gonna firstly just tape off these sections here on the front and the back side. And then we can take it outside and spray it. Put your papers and they kind of fit it as well. So then I picked up this rope at Joanne's Fabrics and I just got a yard of it and I'm going to attach this to this top section here instead of that wood piece we had. I'm gonna glue this down with hot glue because I'm gonna use this in my actual apartment and I know not to pick it up by the handle. It's just more of a decorative feature. Seems heated. We're leaving the tape on here just to really hold it in place. We're gonna finish it off with some smaller macro recording. Yes, it's literally a smaller size. Not really gonna include in this video because I was like literally all we're doing is spray painting something, which we kind of already did that with a magazine holder you guys already saw. But this was $1, I goodwill. Because it was Green Day, Dollar Thursday. Green Day at the Vance. I was like $12.99 at goodwill. It was kind of a lot for this. And it's ceramic. I thought it was wood at first, but it's ceramic. So I like this vibe. I think it looks very anthropology-esque. I wanna actually spray it just pure white because I think it will make it a lot more clean, but it still has a lot of detail in it. Totally. So this project is super simple, but I'm really excited to see what the outcome looks like. I feel like it's just gonna change the whole vibe of it. And I think the detail is gonna show a lot more once it's white. Yeah, crunch it around there and then just tape it. If you're using this Rust-Oleum, paint was touched two times, ultra-covered paint and primer also bounced to plastic, first drying, non-yellowing, UV-resistant wood metal plastic and more compared to the Rust-Oleum in general purpose paint, white spray paint. This project, I got this stunning wallpaper, which just reminds me of like a Parisian home. I feel like this would go on the ceiling. It's just so, so pretty. The roll was $5. There's actually a lot on here and we're only gonna use a little bit for this project. I'm gonna try to use the least amount of wallpaper that I can that way. It can reserve a lot of it. So I'm just gonna cut here it because it's not gonna even. I'm gonna do the side separately. So I can't wrap it all. So I'm gonna lightly just mark here because I'm gonna cut on the inside of this anyway. All right, so I marked center on the back of this little wallpaper piece that way. When we glue this down, we can kind of like glue it and know kind of where the center point is. We're gonna go back an exacto knife around these little edges so that it makes a really clean, sharp. Clearly I didn't do a good job, but a tip I used to do all the time when I did like, I used to cover boxes like this all the time when I did scrapbooking just take the sandpaper and literally go along here and it will perfectly break everything off up to that wood. See how that looks perfect. Oh, wow. Good and fresh, like if we go right across here. Into like a downward motion. So what area? Up the pattern on the front side of the box here. As you can see, we matched up as good as we can. Looks pretty decent. But good. Yeah. Okay, let's turn right to the product that's probably the most tedious one, but it's not gonna be too bad. So do not worry about that. See that like Ikea piece that we found that was $10 with Rift Store and we are going to flip this to be kind of like a coffee table, Ottoman foot rest situation. I'm just gonna figure out what to use it for basically. Ew, this is my bad side. All right, we're gonna start by cutting off the green. Because the green is just not good. So let's just give it a quick little snip. So satisfying. So satisfying. And we're gonna pull it out. Wow, this has been pre-owned. So we were gonna go in with a flat head screwdriver and actually pry each of these little staples out. That's gonna take a while, but if you have the patience for it. You could. You could, but you could also just snip it. Snip it. We're just gonna cut it super, super close like this as close as we can. And you're not gonna see the bottom. I'm just gonna quickly take off this portion so that way we can sand the legs of the piece. Okay, we're gonna take this sandpaper and we're going to sand down the legs and just give it a better stain because it's a little bit too light for this style that we're going for. And this looks like one of the better quality wood pieces from IKEA that you can actually put better stain on. Yeah. We are gonna be using this early American stain, which is the one I use in my kitchen makeover video because it's so pretty. I'm gonna think it's gonna look really nice on here. Finished cutting all of the strips of leather or pleather, here they are. Pleather. We cut a total of 22. We need 21. One and a half inch by 26 inch. So these strips are one and a half inches wide by 26 inches long. And now we are going to be stapling them and weaving them. So we're probably gonna staple them all in one direction first and then weave it in the other direction. Oh my God, it's like a race. It really is. I'm gonna win. Good, just like a little bit of adjustment. Yeah, it's good. Those were the thrift flips. I think they actually turned out incredible. Like every single project, I was kind of doubting like the box idea. I was like, oh, maybe the box won't turn out good or maybe the lamp won't look good white, but everything like turned out really, really great. And over on McKenna's channel, we actually did a DIY IKEA hacks, which I know you guys love those videos from me. So. He was showing me his waist. I was just, you were showing me your waist with the thrift flips. So we kind of like, Swip, flip, blopped video ideas. And it was just a lot of fun filming with McKenna and we've actually only like known each other for like a week and a half, like I've known you for like 300 years. Literally. And we live so close to each other. I know, it's so nice. So you'll definitely be seeing more videos from us soon in the future.
