Love the craftsmanship, creativity and hardwork you've been putting on this whole series, along with your whole channel! However, the color choices you've selected over these past 2 videos has really altered your final product. I feel like painting only the boards and leaving the wall white would've provided a better contrast and over all look. The green and the orange doors from the previous video really don't match well with the design of the house. However, overall you've done a tremendous job and if you like it, that's that!
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
I like how the board and batten accent gives it some character, but I don't know about that color green. Next time the wife is out for the day you need to change that 😬
Interesting to see so many negative comments about the color selection and whether this style is called this thing versus the other. First, I appreciate that you are building "outside the box" with this makeover. To me it's interesting to see different styles, color schemes, etc. I think that these videos can help anyone learn from your builds (I think that's the point). Second, I can appreciate the work it takes to begin the build, continue the build, FINISH the build, AND THEN put out a video! Whew! Lastly, regardless of personal preferences to style, color, method or process, and all else entailed with these builds, something can be learned to help a DYIer embark on a small or even large project thanks to your content. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see the next installment. Take care and have a good one :D
Haha, you are both right. My process is ask my wife, but then slightly adjust her idea... if i do it all myself it looks like a colorblind homeless man designed the room
It’s looks good I feel like you could have went higher with the board and batten to accentuate the height of the space since you have such tall ceilings
1. two-tone looks better if you have that wall texture 2. you gotta prime the euca board 3. the color scheme was a lot better before, now it looks tacky 4. the plates and the vents should really color match I wonder how @Finish Carpentry TV would react to this.
Oddly enough, I tried hunting down some basic brass switch plates for my black rocker switches (same as he has in that room, just black) and you would not believe how difficult a basic, single gang, brass switch plate is to find. Leviton makes the cheapest and most simple one out there, but it’s not stocked in any physical location that I can find, costs upwards of $5 for a single gang plate, and to top it all off? They don’t even make brass switch plates that are more complex than the simple single gang plate anyway. Even called Leviton and asked if they had any, or if their website is just bugged. Nope. They straight up only make single gang, rocker switch style, brass switch plates.
I feel that the vent covers, button panels etc would make the room look better if they were of brass color. Though the room is already really good as it is ;)
First started following your channel going back to your laundry room renovation about ~2 years ago. Recently, I've thought your videos have lost the 'how-to' aspect and have focused more on sheer entertainment value. This got back to the older style videos, in a good way. big fan
Everyones complaining about the color, but I think it's absolutely gorgeous! I would just change the boob light on the ceiling, and custom color all of your switch plates etc. to blend into the wall.
Hey Alex, I love the channel and every video! I learned from the channel Perkins Builder Brothers that Windex works better than water for calk lines just a tip i figured id share :) I can't wait to see the rest of the house!!! I love the bonus room upgrades!
Really loved how it turned out irena has a great eye! Couldnt help but notice you spray the glue with the activator and not where the piece is going. Will def get a better stick that way.
Another cool video. I'm not a fan of colored ceilings, though. It seems like the room might be too dark at night. But, it's your house and your man cave, so keep doing you.
Great video. My opinion, should of painted the bottom white and paint the top green. Therefore, the white can flow into the other room. To each their own.
Alot of home builders in the United States have them in their different models. Personally I don't understand why they do that at all, I think maybe 20% of the time it gets used for that purpose.
@@tophersmith3982 I'm not anywhere close to six figures, and houses we could afford to buy had them. We chose to pick a house without, but they're a common thing at any budget. It'll depend on size with how much dough you got. I agree though, that would be another bedroom for my family.
@@WickedWayz81 must be common in other parts of the country lol we were searching for a house for over a year and if there were once houses with more than one living room at our price point in our area, they've all been converted 😂 I think we saw maybe a couple houses with more than one living room, but those houses around here are well above our price point. Of course, our price point was under 200k haha
@@tophersmith3982 Our price range was the same, under 200k. We seen a few that were converted as well, but most were not. Didn't matter the year the house was built, certain styles were the same. Maybe it could be more of a midwest thing, I'm in Wisconsin. Where about are you?
Honestly, I think if you change the outlets/switches along with the vents to black that would mesh better. The white pops to much especially for a "Man Cave".... also I don't see the 80" TV... LOL great work!!!!!
I think your project is closer to the term wainscoting than anything. The outcome looks nice but with the use of math, you could have made all the panels the same DIMs which is more eye catching. Also, I live in Minnesota and from my experiences if we don’t use pocket holes and screws, the boards will move and expose cut ends/joints. Overall it looks nice though!
Hi! brand new home owner here. we have floorboard heaters, is it possible for us to create the Board and Batten accent wall without removing the baseboards? thanks :)
Looks great! In the high end decorative finishing world, those outlet & switch covers + vents would definitely get painted. What type of flooring do you have?
Paint the vent covers and outlet covers the same color as the wall. Right now, they stick out too much and detract from the total look of the room. Otherwise, you did a great job and it looks very nice.
Looking to do a similar design in one of my bathrooms. I like the look, but I think the dark walls with white boards would have popped more... Then again, I'm divorced and can barely dress myself, so I can't comment on my 'design sense'!
This whole check with the wife thing makes me not want to ever get married i am waaay to picky I could never settle on what color or tile or hardware to go with lool

Couldn’t agree more: I just don’t get any decision they have made with this space at all. I know they have to live in it and love it.
tbh i hated the colors. Love the work tho.
@@colt1338 I love his projects and his passion. I wish his wife would stay out of the decision making process and let him have that part of it.

Paint the vents green and get dark outlets/switches/plates 👍🏻
I said it on a previous video and I'll say it again, the best part of your videos is you recognize and call out your errors. Makes you very authentic.
Same!!
I like how the board and batten accent gives it some character, but I don't know about that color green. Next time the wife is out for the day you need to change that 😬
I think it's just too much green. The whole wall painted the same as the wainscoting is a lot.
For home theaters, dark colors work as they don't reflect the light from the TV. however I agree the green color is a little odd
Loove the end result! That dark green gives such a moody effect, perfect for a game room / man cave!

Would change the switches, outlets, and vents to a dark color
or paint them with that green color
Classic "man cave" where the wife makes all the decisions.... story of a husband's life. Awesome job on the room!
Haha, you are both right. My process is ask my wife, but then slightly adjust her idea... if i do it all myself it looks like a colorblind homeless man designed the room
It’s looks good I feel like you could have went higher with the board and batten to accentuate the height of the space since you have such tall ceilings
Paint color is questionable but to each their own. Looks great!
Ha haha thought the same thing 🤣
I think it would look good with green on bottom and white or off white on top
Agree. The room looks much smaller with that green.
@@stevemoskowitz5960 I was thinking the opposite. White on the bottom and the green on top. Your way would look decent too
I actually like the color. It’s that classic Billiards Room vibe. For a Man Cave / Game room it’s perfect
Love the color, board and baton gorgeous! I’d switch every white outlets x switches to brass or black. And the window trim black. Great job!
pro tip for next time, measure and cut out a spacer for in between each piece of vertical MDF, so you don't need to remeasure every time
1. two-tone looks better if you have that wall texture
2. you gotta prime the euca board
3. the color scheme was a lot better before, now it looks tacky
4. the plates and the vents should really color match
I wonder how @Finish Carpentry TV would react to this.
He would face palm for sure. But this guy is a DIYer and he did a decent enough job without the complicated miters. The painting though.... yeesh.
Looks fantastic! Except those white switch plates and vent covers need to be dark. Just my 2 cents.
What an epic way to put Flex Glue MAX to work! We can't wait to see what's next. 😎💪
I love the paint color but I think you should change out the vents and electric faceplates you a darker color so they don’t stick out so much
The outlets and vents with gold plates would look rich, just as an idea. More cost but, hey.
Not really.. $5 spray paint 🤣
or silver?
Oddly enough, I tried hunting down some basic brass switch plates for my black rocker switches (same as he has in that room, just black) and you would not believe how difficult a basic, single gang, brass switch plate is to find.
Leviton makes the cheapest and most simple one out there, but it’s not stocked in any physical location that I can find, costs upwards of $5 for a single gang plate, and to top it all off?

They straight up only make single gang, rocker switch style, brass switch plates.
I actually really like the color and the painted ceiling
Looks great! So helpful that you showed the mistakes and how to problem solve them. Also love the vibe that dark moody color created in the room
I feel that the vent covers, button panels etc would make the room look better if they were of brass color.
Though the room is already really good as it is ;)

the beauty of D.I.Y. is you don't make mistakes, your work evolves LOL
100% true
Are you not able to paint the light switches and wall sockets the same colour?
Everyones complaining about the color, but I think it's absolutely gorgeous! I would just change the boob light on the ceiling, and custom color all of your switch plates etc. to blend into the wall.

Love the rich color! I like how everything is coming together. I can picture it now with wall art and furnishings.
Funny you said 4x4 mode on the crocs! I tell my daughters when the strap is up it’s in relax/sleep mode & when the strap is down it’s sport mode! Lmao
Obsessed with the paneling and the colour choice wow
Love what you did there's just too much green need an accent color to compliment that gorgeous work
Really loved how it turned out irena has a great eye! Couldnt help but notice you spray the glue with the activator and not where the piece is going. Will def get a better stick that way.
Wow spray paint machines work so beautifully! It is awesome to watch this come together! What a beautiful paint choice!
That’s an interesting color! And the whole wall! Wow!😃
Haha when in doubt, add more layers “cakes have layers, everybody loves cakes!” Lol turned out great man, way to see it through 💪🏾💯
Hahah
Looks great! I am imagining maybe some gold outlet and light switches
Vids out for 35 mins, and Surely want to watch it asap✌🏻
Looks cool, I think white for the board and batten would've been a nice contrast though.
I would have maybe left the top portion of the walls white.
This room looks so much smaller with the green :(
someone paint me green pls
Can you make it without baking board, when you have perfect drywall?
I think I would have replaced the white vents, outlets, and switches with black in a room that dark, but it looks great.
This color looks really good
Why wasn't the new wall flush with the existing wall [the door walls]
Right?!
Lol
Some brass vents would look the part. A bit of an expense but worth it.
The way I do the end of the 1x2 is coming out about 11/16ths and mitering the end to 30 degrees so it’s sort of rounded but still the farm house style
Another cool video. I'm not a fan of colored ceilings, though. It seems like the room might be too dark at night. But, it's your house and your man cave, so keep doing you.
"Very Fancy, as we always do it here." - while wearing crocs. :D
Looks ok
Great vid and explanation. I'm looking to do this in my bathroom and now I have a fantastic guide!!
Awesome. Good luck on the build
Nice looks good
YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION, THANK YOU ALEX
Them 4x4 bad boys really do set the tone!!😂👌🏻
Loveing the series on your remodel keep up the good work....Dave from the UK
Thanks Dave
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Looking awesome, your work is super impressive. Stay Hydrated & Cool this summer... Abrazos
Great video. My opinion, should of painted the bottom white and paint the top green. Therefore, the white can flow into the other room. To each their own.
Should have painted the paneling green and left the upper and ceiling white
what brand of paint sprayer did you use?
@FinishCarpentryTV 👀
Absolutely beautiful
Thats awesome! I think the color is pretty cool and unique!
So weird that color is back in style. I remember painting 'accent walls' in our dining room and den that color back in 1986
Crocs with the strap down = Sports mode. Straps up = Chill mode
Nice! 👌 Looking forward to seeing the rest of your plans for this room come together 😁👍
How many living rooms does a human need ?
Americans: Yes.
Not those of us without a six figure income. that's an extra bedroom my guy! 🤣

shouldve talked with Finish Carpentry TV to help ya with this
what is better? paint roller or paint spray
Looks amazing, so it’s ok if you have 3 different wall lengths that the panel on that wall is different then the other ones?
I used to wet my finger when doing caulk too but then I started just using baby wipes. Works like a charm and keep my fingers clean.
Hi! brand new home owner here. we have floorboard heaters, is it possible for us to create the Board and Batten accent wall without removing the baseboards? thanks :)
Holy green.

*Magnifique réalisation👍*

Why did you use the eucaboards? forgive my ignorance
looks perfect
Love the videos. What paint sprayer are you using?
Looks amazing! Love the green!
nice work but you should change to switches etc from white to black :)
Great idea
Could you list your tools out you used in this project? I’m very interested in your paint sprayer and the tool you used to mask and tape with.
are those ryobi tools any good compared makita
Great stuff
Paint the vent covers and outlet covers the same color as the wall. Right now, they stick out too much and detract from the total look of the room. Otherwise, you did a great job and it looks very nice.
Wood and wall with the same paint?
maybe a two tone would of been better, keep the top white. It felt smaller all green imo. None the less, good job
Brushed steel electric boxes would be nice
That’s a great idea

Why didn’t you go higher with wall sense your og wall is so tall
