The Ugliest Unit I've Made So Far (Story 33)



I’ve got a scary cupboard space underneath the stairs, and I’ve decided to hide it by DIY-ing a shelving unit inside. With some cheap timber and paint, it quickly turns into something a little more ‘rustic’ than anticipated… Oh well. (PS. I love it now!)

  1. Hello 50 000 subscribers!

    I couldn’t find a way to organically include a behind the scenes update in the video, so I thought I’d leave a comment for those interested instead – I got a new camera! This video is the first one shot with it and was also edited with different software, so there may be a few kinks. I started shooting with the new camera without testing it too much, and after editing I realise there’s some things to keep in mind – some dodgy IBIS warping, incorrect focussing with the manual lens (which seems very tricky with a little digital screen!) Anyways, lots to figure out! Also my laptop is not built for these large files and it took three very long days to edit this one video. There’s some dodgy colour grading as well in the small and badly-lit rooms, which really bothers me and I hope to one day get better at correcting that. Not sure why I’m sharing all of this, but if anyone is wondering why I don’t upload every week or aren’t very active on social media – this is why. It took me 5 days to make this unit, about 40 hours editing the footage, and I have off and on freelance work as well. So it gets a little busy! Regardless, I hope you enjoy this video and I will catch you next time 🙂

  2. Rosie, you amaze me everyday. How brilliant you are with all of your skills, ambition, desire and dedication. You keep on moving forward regardless of the challenges ahead, we see you smile and laugh, and we see you stressed and frustrated, you let us see the ups and downs and the weeks that you face. Documenting your entire journey as you have been on here and sharing it with the world is so brilliant and special, somehow it brings healing and comfort to each of us, giving us a platform where we can just chill with a cup of tea and feel like we are there in Sweden with you! I can’t say how proud of you I and there rest of us here are, all of your hard work does not go unnoticed. You really do go above and beyond. Keep it up, you are a true legend. 😇

  6. Amazing progress! I thought you were going to make that door the new stairs to the next floor? Idk don't want more work for you later but excited fo whats next!

  7. You are doing a fantastic job 👍. It was very nice of your neighbor to come and cut most of your tree up and love the chair he made. It would be nice by the garden. You are a better carpenter than I could ever think of doing. Hey at least you have a washer.

  8. I very much enjoy watching your videos late at night.
    They are so calming and relaxing.
    The nature clips are lovely.
