Gonna build this today
wawww! ill try to have this one too.. soon. thanks for this great idea..
Hi Monica! I'm a huge fan of your makeover videos. I watch them over and over again until I fall asleep. Of course, after I did my bedtime prayers :). I love how you make people very happy and satisfied and transform their spaces in just one weekend of work, which I know is not an easy job. I'm really inspired with all your work. How can we (our home) be a candidate for the show? Thank you for all you do. More power to your show.
Love your DIY’s Monica! I am at store #2451 in Huntsville. I am interior designer by trade and currently manage paint/home decor as well as over our local DIY clinics at our store. I have some great ideas & would love to share that might be great DIY videos for you to do! 😊
I would line it with a plastic window box. water & wood dont like each other
We miss you Monica!!
I like her personality, she should get her own home improvement show on like YouTube or something
And you want to put some ice in there? But in less than two months your wooden storage space will have more holes in it than your jeans.
Wow stunning I love women working with tools.. im learning alot from these videos.. thank u.. looking forward for more of these videos.
If the top plank was cut a little shorter on both sides, you could use the middle section to return the bench to its normal state. A hole aligned with the drain hole would provide an easy way to take the centre cover out and would also allow the use of a parasol through both holes. Just a thought!
love your makeovers and your boundless creativity. may I make a suggestion though- the photo of the finished makeover at the beginning takes away so much from the journey of watching the makeover.. maybe you could show a before and a small corner of the after zoomed in so that the mystery remains. otherwise I find myself struggling not to look at the beginning and fast forwarding to upto 2 mins with my eyes closed, which is not easy 🙃
Wow that’s creative, very nice!!
I would seal the cubby to make it water resistant. Prevent the wood from rotting
Please start your own channel. 🙂
Missed u xoxo
Love your creative thinking!
Monicaaaa, how many things can you do with a pic nic table?! I am ready to see you turning it into a bed the next time. 😜
Clever the decision the two different tones
Hi Monica and Lowe's, as usual, you are AWESOME!
I do need help on how to make a sound proof (or at least minimalize background noise for a Work From Home room without breaking the bank. Also would fit a more temporary set up rather than a permanent change. Is that possible?
Stunning as always!!!!
Love it
Creative and talented, as always!
Yeas, the Boss lady of DIY. We love your design esthetic. More Monica please 🥰👍
As always nice job 👏 hope you get plenty of use out of it this summer
Awesome! Dr ❤️
How many picnic tables do you have!? :)) Just kidding. Great idea(s)!
💖💖💖💖💖 GENIUS HACK ! 👍🏻👍🏻
I want to merge this table design with the elevated picnic table design you did a couple weeks ago and thereby create Picnic Table Extraordinaire!
Seems pretty simple.
Genius. You never run out of ideas! Please never stop doing DIYs! Lol
