IrelandMallory Fletchall gives her bedroom skylight a custom cover
Plywood, decorative molding and brass hardware turn a practical bedroom fix into the week's most-watched Reserve Home upload.
Reserve Home — Mallory Fletchall
Story of Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Making my own skylight cover 〰️
Mallory Fletchall starts with a familiar decorating complaint: "Why is it that the most practical things for your home are almost always the least pretty?" Her answer involves a hardware-store trip and a cover designed to belong in the bedroom, rather than look like an afterthought.
In "Making my own skylight cover 〰️", she adds decorative molding to plywood, paints it to match the bedroom walls and lifts it over the skylight above her bed, securing it with brass hardware and a latch. The finished panel blends into the room's decoration. Fletchall calls it one of her favorite little projects to date.
The practicalities have become the conversation, too. Viewers question how securely the overhead board is held, suggest a sliding rail system and discuss whether a sleep mask would be simpler. Others pick out the decorative glass and headboard. Those are viewer concerns and alternatives, not evidence that the installation has failed.
The cover video has reached roughly 741,000 views and remains the channel's busiest upload right now. It was one of two new posts, alongside "a few bedroom updates!" A July vintage-decor Short is also continuing to draw views between the new bedroom projects.
Reserve Home added about 3,000 subscribers over the week, with weekly viewing comfortably above the nearby home-and-DIY channels. Cottage and Company had a steady daily audience, while Karly the Sparky was quieter than usual. For Fletchall, the new bedroom work has brought a much busier viewing week than the upload-free stretch we reported here in October.

Some type of rail system would’ve been cool. So when you want the sunlight you can slide it over instead of having to pull it off.

It's beautiful but it doesn't look very secure. Love your design style.
@franchescawetter8423See it on YouTubeI think that’s a beautiful solution! Not too difficult or complicated, but comes off sophisticated and compliments the room really well. Well done 😊
@jadesterbabySee it on YouTubeI admire your vision and, of course, how well you executed the solution.
