Top: 11-3/8 L x 22-7/8 W
Sides: 27' L x 11-5/8 W
Drawers: 7-1/4 L x 22-7/8 W
With the purchase of two IKEA Rast Chests, mirrors, spray paint and dresser knobs...I paid a total of $142 for both nightstands!! Generally one mirrored nightstand from Home Goods, Pier1 or At Home can run you at least $150 or more.....I made 2 for less than the price of purchasing ONE!

The 1.6k thumbs down came from furniture stores. 😂 Honey you did a Professional job.
Seriously. Who are these animals who gave it a thumbs down?!
That comment got me rolling😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I was just thinking, how can that many people dislike this wonderful video. She did a beautiful job on the nightstands!
Probs cause she didn’t buy it and they want money...
FOR EVERYBODY WONDERING: I am currently at Lowe’s: mirrored glass is currently only sold in 2 sizes.... $13.98 for 24in by 30in & $18.48 for 30 in by 36in. And that’s per sheet. I needed 6 sheets of 24 by 30 for both nightstands and my total was $85
I don't have a Lowe's in my city so I ended up going to a mirror glass specialist and paid about the same price
Wow great savings my dear for a good drawer
How did you need 6 sheets for 2 nightstands? I am a little confused if you could help me out here because for me the cost is coming upto $240
Also what was the thickness of the mirror?
From Canada low’s also cut the mirrors?
You deserve every last view you've gotten. Literally so creative and genius.
You go girl I’m so impressed. I used to work in a frame shop so mad props for being so prepared. Use spray away to clean!
oh my gossssh, thank you for this DIY! My sister has been looking at mirrored nightstands forever but they're hella expensive.
Jerika K indeed they are...im literally blown away
I love these too that April made.
Yesss my dad owns a mirror/glass business... I'm about to have him cut all this shit for me tomorrow lol
😂😂😂😂
lmao!
+Adrianna Q. omg ur a lucky one haha
+Adrianna Q. LMAOOO #DADDYSGIRL sweet!!
U lucky girl
I LOVE YOUR END TABLES what a beautiful job you did April - our Father in heaven has truly blessed you with talent.
My goodness! Now this off the chain stunned me! I've been eyeing this type of furniture for years..but the price? Woooo! Thank you fur sharing who knew! Excellent job well done you!!
for some dumb reason when she leaned the mirror in the cameras direction. I thought I was gonna see myself.... :p
Lit Brit 😂😂😂😂 I like you!!!
Lit Brit lmao
Lit Brit 😂😂😂😂😂too cute
Lit Brit 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Best comment ever

Astonishing furniture hack and beautifully clear instructions. If I did that on my rug it would be totally trashed so that is also astonishing.

This woman is so talented. She reminds me of the talent my mother had while she was alive. Excellent video! Very talented.
This is how many people miss you channel !!! Came across this video in my favorites and remembered how much I looked forward to watching your videos. I love your channel and wish you would make more videos!
Oh my gosh!!!! It's beautiful!!!!! I was worried about how you were going to get the knobs on it!!!
Right?! My dumb ass was wondering why she didn't ask Lowes to cut holes through for her LMAO
Grace Report lol lol lol... You arent dumb!!!!
SharonBaxter12 right I thought u needed to cut ir
I highly doubt those knobs will hold for long once you put things in the drawers I would have went with drilling with a glass cutting bit and putting them on with screws or bolts
Ashley Cisper drilling screw or whatever in mirrors easily breaks them
dayum lady u got skills lol and patience thanks for video
I must admit I am impressed. They look high end. You did a wonderful job.
These are absolutely gorgeous . Love this idea and love mirrors. They're so elegant looking and open up spaces their put in. I want to try this project. Thank you for sharing your great ideas. It's greatly appreciated and God Bless!!!!!
APRIL HONESTLY I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU GIRL... THANK YOU SOOO MUCH. YOU SAVED ME SOOOOO MUCH MONEY ON THIS DIY...... BEST DIY IVE SEEN ON HOME DECOR..
I'm trying to recreate this but I can't find the drawers!! Please help!🙁
Hey lady!! I googled the RAST CHEST and a similar one sold at Wal-Mart popped up. It's 100 bucks.

@@l242l305l i think her poin is that you can implement that idea in the ones you already have, i think that what she means i would do this on some old furniture i have to make ut a live again.. and see how goes.
you are wonderful xx
Hello Wayne Goss I love makeup tips!
I *have* seen similar mirrored makeup organizers!
Wayne Goss ah Wayne! She truly is! So glad I found this channel!!
+Alex Kat fd coxsackie creed ABC
You know you're amazing when Wayne Goss comments ❤️❤️
Loved how you explained everything so clearly and showed which products you used. Fun DIY idea, thanks!
I've been looking for a professional approach to this type of diy...you've done it! Wonderful job!
Wow, you are amazing! You should create a demo reel and send it in HGTV cause you should have your own show.
Exactly!
Yes and I would watch it 24/7!
True that!
I thought the same thing! she's on her way! heck, I'd help her produce the show! 😉✋
GIIIIIIIIRL!!! U JUST SAVED ME A LOOOOOOT OF MONEY.
Nice and beautiful.👍
Yeees
I stumbled onto one of your videos and I have been watching them for an hour. This is my favorite yet I think.
What a cool hack! I had no idea mirror could be custom cut to size! Thanks for posting!
I bet they'd look so pretty with candles on them
Girl you are so creative and awesome!! You make all of your diys look so easy. Keep it coming girly 👏🏽👏🏽😍
JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!❤️❤️❤️ You are such a creative lady. I have seen these in furniture ads and they really are so expensive, Thanks for the video.
Girl do you know how I’ve been looking for this type of furniture and watching you do this, I know for a fact this is the route we’re going to go!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
This is probably the best DIY hack I've seen so far :) amazing

I must admit I love this channel. you have hade me at ikea and Lowes and home Depot so tomorrow is my big day I so scared, but you give me faith #girlsrock. love u girly....

Absolutely beautiful! I love your mirrored dressers! You did a Fabulous job!🌹❤
Wow!! Best DIY video on this EVER! Hands down girl!!!
You and Mr Kate ❤️I just enjoy the crafty side of CZcams
I love Mr. Kate!

I CANNOT believe how simple this is. I was looking for mirrored nightstands at pier 1 and the prices were totally outrageous!!! April thank you so much. You need your own hgtv show!!!
Wow!! I have always liked the mirrored effect furniture, but was not going to pay the prices they are asking, but thanks to this fabulous lady I shall now be making my own. Excellent, Thank you.
Beautiful piece but I have to admit, my favorite part is that you are wearing two different socks. Keepin' it real.. I do that all the time.
I can't believe you made the nightstands. I've watched all of your other diy videos and eyed this nightstand in the background. I just assumed you purchased them. I thought you making a bed was awesome but you took it to a whole other level. All hale the DIY Queen!!!!!
OMG! I can't believe you're applying the adhesive without a dropcloth on your carpet. You are a marvel! I can't even walk across a room without spilling coffee.
Great video. Very creative. And now I know that Lowe's will cut mirrored class to my dimensions as part of my purchase. Thanks!
Our Lowes in NY, WILL NOT CUT mirrors or, glass for us... 😢😢😢
You are truly, "One Gifted Sista"! Love your WORK!!!
OMGGGG I wasn't even looking for this video but this is soo clutch! Thank youuuuu, I'm going to try it. It looks gorgeous!
this is awesome but be real careful spraying windex directly ON the mirror.... it can seep in between the layers and ruin the mirror. It happened to my bathroom vanity mirror. Spray onto the paper towel 1st. Just a little tip so all of your hardwork isn't ruined.
If she drops something on them or pushes a glass of water/ juice or something on it and the mirror breaks, her hardwork is gonna be ruined anyway.
Marcela Galatti hater
learn what hater means
+Marcela Galatti that legit had absolutely nothing to do with what she was talking about
ssuleiman12 seriously... *eye roll*
Let me say I absolutely love your videos April but for anyone trying this project LOWES NO LONGER CUTS MIRRORED GLASS!!!!! at least not in Georgia at all they said all lowes stopped and referred me to a glass company 😫 I was hoping to try your diy because it inspired me
Hi'IM Her I guess it depends on the area and store. Mine currently still cuts glass.
I think these are brilliant ideas too...however not that affordable where I live...I was wondering if mosaic mirror tiles would work...
MELODY MUNRO that is a great idea 👍
Hi'IM Her do you think Home Depot does .
There is a product called "acrylic mirror" at Home Depot. The product description indicates "[It] can be easily cut using standard plastic cutters and common tools around the home". It is a more expensive than traditional glass mirror though. A 24" x 48" sheet costs $55.99.
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen on diy mirrored furniture! Thx!
April , absolutely love it. That is exactly what I was looking for. Now to make it , first stop IKEA!
I've seen tons of these mirrored furniture tutorials but this one, by far, is the absolute best.
I made mine using two Ikea Malm 6 drawer dressers that I got used from Craigslist. One cost $30, the other was free. Would have paid about $2,000 for one mirror dresser had I purchased them from store. Used two 30X36 mirrors ($17.98 each). Covered top and 6 drawers. If you're not sure of measurements. Take drawer to Lowes. Make sure to take your scrap mirror after they cut big mirrors.
I ordered some very high quality glass knobs from a website call "AliExpress", shipped directly from China (10 days, under $28 including shipping, for 20 knobs). I would have paid about $65+ for them from store.
I secured sagging drawers with L brackets on INSIDE and cheap Home Depot yard sticks (98 cents each) on the UNDERSIDE of drawers. I used glue I had and put some on yard sticks before screwing together. Use short screws so that the drawers will close properly. There are videos online to show how to fix saggy drawers. This way works extremely well.
Also, a very helpful tip I got from glass cutter in Lowes. PLEASE use a piece of sanding paper (any grit) for sharp edges!! They gave me a piece for free. The mirror is so sharp and dangerous. It will not scratch the mirror and works well with barely any effort.
Hi, can you please share the link of the glass knobs ? Thanks!
This is very nice and it also gives the illusion of more space. Very good.
That was great! You showed step by step without any extra fast forwarding... thank you ❤️
GIRL THIS TUTORIAL HAS GIVEN ME LIFE !!!!!!
Lol yaaaasssss
I already have this chest🙌🏾 I'm on my way to get the mirrors 🏃🏾. Thanks April 👍🏾
I have been looking at these mirror furniture for so long, but just too expensive.
I love what you did and how easily you explained everything. They look just like the ones I have been wanting from Z Gallery and of course they are at least $1,000.
This will be my next project once we are out of this pandemic. Please keep the video up.
Love you for doing this!
This is the best and easiest DIY mirrored night stand I've seen yet!
THIS IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job!!!
Also where is your bed frame from? That is exactly what I am looking for!
she made it. check her other videos
I just purchased one very similar from Pottery Barn if you're not as crafty.
Girl this is genius!! I've seen some of those dressers for over $300 thank you for this diy! Totally subscribed 😻💖
me too :)
Indeed
In going to see if my husband is ok to do this idea. I LOVE the mirror dressers.
second that.
This is so awesome! I really enjoyed watching this, and those dressers are beautiful! You are awesome!!! 💖💖💖
This is the best DIY video thus far. Thanks so much❤️❤️❤️
Girl....that is beautiful. You did an awesome job. Thanks for sharing this.
Cannot wait to do this. I gave up on the idea of mirrored furniture after shopping around and seeing prices but you just restored faith lol
Wow
..I'm impressed been looking to buying these but I need two and larger sized for my living room this is such a good job!!
I didn't know I had a stylish decor side until I saw this. These shelves are stunning
are you a design engineer? If not you should be. Your talent is amazing. Have you ever thought of trying out for the HGTV design star? I think you'd win. Amazing. I saw some of your other videos - just amazing.
These look amazing! I love how simple you kept the DIY too. One thing i'd like to do different if I was making one, is to add cut mirror pieces and mosaic over the larger areas that were spray painted. I feel like the silver paint didn't really look as good as i'd hoped.
+tilywinn - For a more precise look with the spray paint, it would take about 2 -4 coats of spray paint depending on the brand and finish. There are great tutorials on CZcams regarding spray painting furniture and getting a perfect look. Another alternative to spray paint would be finding a really good sliver paint color and finish to preform the same look. It just depends what you want to achieve. Hopefully, this helps!
Silver leafing would work nicely too I bet!!
+Amy Nelson YASS GREAT IDEA. THAT WOULD BE A BEAUTY TO SEE AS WELL.
+Amy Nelson excellent idea!
Best mirror DIY I've come across! Their beautiful 😍
Your voice is very relaxing. This is fun to watch.
I was wondering about the drawer pulls, or knobs, and how you were going to drill the holes through the mirror. 😊
Well obviously you didn't watch the video. She glued it :)
"How to drill a hole in a mirror", YT has 10+ videos.
@@Mqrae Re-read what he wrote. He said he was wondering how she was going to do it. He didn't ask "how" she did it. He was "wondering", and then he watched the video and found out. Don't write hate comments if you don't know what you're talking about, asshole.
Ilovelosangeles they just read to read instead of reading to comprehend what someone is saying
@@monicamares3254 they ready to respond or argue rather than reading to understand
I WISH I SAW THIS VIDEO BEFORE I BOUGHT MY NIGHT STANDS
They came out beautiful!! your video is inspiring
I’d really love it girl!!!!!! NICE WORK !!!!!!! Wow ❤️ looks so wonderful!!!! Keep going with that talent ! Transforming something común in that glamorously thing deserve claps !!!!!! 😍
they came out gorgeous, omg.
These just gave me everything I need in life... They are gorgeous!!!!!
I love the idea of glueing the knobs ! That was clever
Thank you so much for your time in sharing this. You are very patient and talented!
Great instructions. Lovely soft voice and just the right pace. Wow!
right, one of the few CZcams gurus that doesn't have an annoying voice lol
You are my favourite person ever.You put a mariah carey emotion remix in the background.Ily.
Such sleek professional results 😍 good job 👏👍
Thank you sooooo much! I’ve been looking into buying some mirrored furniture costing upwards of $400 for nightstands 😳 and sideboards for more than $800... my breath usually stops every time I think of paying so much for it. Thankfully, I found you. 🙌🏾👊🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
how could ppl dislike this like wtf.. this was bomb.. you're so great!
🌹Omg!! That looks fantastic! I am so going to do this! I love mirrored furniture and Z Gallerie is ridiculously priced. Your nightstand looks just like a Z Gallerie piece!!
Platinum Rose I agree z gallery charges an arm, a leg and a foot
Platinum Rose Hiram iqbal singer .
Right!! I'm putting together my room and I love this DIY!!
Are the edges of the mirror smooth or do they need to be buffed?
Platinum Rose I have a nice gut stand that’s sitting in my garage and I’ve been wondering what to do with it. Now I know
I dont know why this was in my recommendations but I'm glad it was! Amazing job!
Perfect job April! Wow! 1.6K folks are hating for sure. I've been following since your natural hair journey. Keep up the good work!
I recently did this DIY. & damn its beautiful! It cost me nearly $300 for two. You can definitely make yours cheaper. I wanted them extra perfect so i bought more spray paint and mirror glue. Also i bought my mirror at lowes and that cost me $75 because they used 5 mirror sheets, but from the 5th piece there was extra left and i made it into my vanity mirror (its big too!) . Theres only two cons to this project, lowes doesnt smooth the mirror edges (i cut myself once) & 2nd the drawers dont have stoppers so if you open them to much, the weight of the mirror will make the drawer come out and that will for sure break the mirror! So be careful
roxy galicia hi can you please tell me how you asked for your mirrors? Because they were charging me 150 at lowes
jazlyne41415 150? That just ridiculous, go to other lowes, the first one i went didnt even want to cut the glass because itd "break" and "cant be used for drawers" . The mirrors i used (and in video) are the gardner glass they were $12.48 per sheet.
Great thank you!
So how many sheets did you buy before getting them cut?
Shavell Mickens they cut everything then count how many sheets were used. It should take 4-5 sheets
love love love your videos..... keep doing what you do!!!! and thank you!!!!
This is so pretty! I’m in love with the idea!❤️
I wished I like mirrored furniture! This looks like such a fun DIY. Nice job girly ❤
what a great idea! My daughter loves these nightstands. We can do this project for her bedroom. Thanks for sharing.
For the mirrors she used, go to Lowes.com and search 99768, it'll bring up the exact mirrors. It is the product number on the brown paper she opened.
Be aware that the mirrors have sharp edges. If they are left with raw edges like this, there is a possibility of getting cut, as I have found out from making them myself. They are beautiful and I love them so I am tyring to come up with ideas to fix/cover the edges : )
+yuma00011 Thank you !
How many pieces did you need/use to cover one dresser?
+Jazmine P. I needed 3 mirrors for one dresser. Although both top pieces came from one mirror.
+micamay30830 No problem ; )
Did you cover the edges
I spent over $1600 on my mirrored nightstands and dresser. Wish I'd seen this video first. You are brilliant!
Omg you’re a blessing for showing this! I’m getting ready to move into my first apartment and I need bedroom furniture. Girl you just saved me some coins! God bless you!
Girl me tooo! My taste so exspensive but my budget not Lol
Jasmin Myers girl I’m the same way lol
Did you make them? If so how do they look?!🥰 im planning on making it
@@cynthiaboggs192 Yes I did! I love them! I plan on making a bigger dresser with LED Lights.
@@Alese011 🥰i should definetly make.it then. Thank you so much. You should post the finished products.
Awesome job!
