Don't know if you're aware so I'm going to point out that you tend to put your finger right next to the nail gun pretty often. If that nail hits something solid it can curve back so it's best to keep your hand at least one nail length away from the gun. The room turned out awesome. I even like the wallpaper, which I'm not really fond of normally. It's probably due to the wood framing it up like a large painting. The colors work really well together.
I see people do this all the time. Makes me cringe. I watched a guy shoot a framing nail through his hand on a jobsite before. I was an apprentice and still was questioning his technique leading up to the accident
I've been putting cork underlayment on my concrete floors. It's easy on the knees, good with moisture, and plays nice with just about anything you put on top of it.

My grandad was a professional decorator and taught me how to hang wallpaper, you lay the paper face down on a table, then you brush the paste to the rear in a herringbone shape you then loosely fold up the paper at the bottom onto itself so its easier to hang. once on the wall, you use a badger brush (long brush with badger hair) instead of a squeegee and brush the front out in a herringbone fashion again. The reason you are getting bubbles is that the wall is drinking in the paste before you the paper to it. If the paper is applied wet that capillary action pulls the paper to the wall. My grandad would have around ten sheets already pasted by folding the top and bottoms. He also started middle out of the wall and used a plumbline on the first one.
Glad you reduced the length of the closet door trim--much better. I would have never added the verticals over the wall paper, but WOW! Looks fantastic framed like that. A fusion of old Tokyo and Greene and Greene.
I would have nixed the vertical panels on the end of the room but kept the vertical separator panels on the side walls. It just a matter of preference. Overall look is great!
A great tip a decorator once gave us was to check batch codes on wallpaper rolls. As long as you get all rolls at the same time with the same batch code (better to buy too many and return them) the colour and pattern match should be spot on.
Speaking of modern "office gadgets", I reaaaally recommend a monitor stand for your computer, it a) looks really good, b) is fun to build and can be individual and creative and c) does miracles when it comes to organizing and keeping a desk clean. Being able to store keyboard, mouse etc. underneath the monitor is amazing, plus the heigher position of the monitor is actually better for the neck. I am only a passionate hobby woodworker, but I have built some monitor stands myself and all of them. :)
This looks amazing! I was a residential wallpaper contractor for almost 20 years and I loved my job. Hanging wallpaper is hypnotic and nothing beats the impact of how it looks when you finish. You did a wonderful job.🌸
Office suggestions: lots of usb outlets, cord management plan, a good chair, and thoughts/plans to expand or account for updates in a year or two or five. Great looking office!
I’ve been in the trades for a few years with the goal of being a revered carpenter/ woodworker, and seeing the craftsmanship that you show on this channel is really inspiring. Keep it up brother.
I know, right? I had to pause the video and finally put together that storage rack in the basement that's been sitting there for 5 years now, and I'm on Amazon to buy a peg wall to clean up my little "workshop" 😂
Awesome work! Best part is you show your mistakes and how you address them. Make us beginners feel better and gives the needed confidence. Your design and elegance is top notch. Make this into your office transformation video series so we get to see the ultimate office 😊
What an amazing transformation! I would add some semi translucent material to the inside of those glass sliding doors so the look more like Japanese paper doors - also if you had left the groove in the top broads you of used picture rail hooks to hang any art from them.
Hey man, appreciate you and the excellent content! If you're going to spend any significant amount of daytime hours in your windowless office I'd recommend proper lighting. The new school way is to use tunable white to be able to match the color temperature of the sun throughout the day. It is EXPENSIVE though. There are of course hacks that can achieve a similar result without the automatic tuning based on the sun's position. It would include a mix of colder 4000-5000K fixtures with Dim to Warm bulbs to handle the transition to the warmer temperatures. I'm sure your editing sessions are done in a dimmer lighting conditions but for the rest keep that brain happy! Looking forward to the completed project!
That's the first thing I thought and DIY Perks has an excellent, inexpensive hack for that: ua-cam.com/video/8JrqH2oOTK4/v-deo.html (To change colour temp over the day, cyan, red, and warm white LED strips can be added to the mix, with the whole thing controlled by an ESP32--to allow full control via your phone.)
yess a 100 percent. I have govee LED strip lights that are tunneled and even tho I have a lot of windows when I have the led strip set to daylight it makes a huge difference, turns this gloomy rainy days around
To add my own recommendation, I have a couple TP Link Kasa LED bulbs which have a setting for automatic brightness/color temperature, so the hue and brightness changes throughout the day. It only works on the RGB bulbs though, not on the white LED with variable color temperature bulbs, for some reason. They aren't too expensive and don't require a central hub either.

I almost cried watching you clean that floor. Carpet tiles do not need to be secured at all. Gravity and furniture keeps them in place just fine, and they are super easy to pick up and clean if not adhered to the floor. I use them in my basement. The whole room looks amazing!
Wow! What an upgrade. Love the design, your creativity is over the top. Looking forward to the videos to fill the room up! Beautiful all around! Thank you for posting
You can get a scraper to clear floors like that which consists of a handle with a heavy duty utility blade in he head which you can switch out and flip over as needed. By far the best solution I have found for carpet adhesive cleanup
It’s looking awesome! I love the wallpaper and it was even Zen to watch you install it. I can totally relate to the frustrations of removing flooring and/or stuff stuck to flooring. A few years ago we redid our kitchen and that included installing hardwood flooring in our entryway. The original entryway floor was old brown hexagon tile. We removed the tile but it left so much thin set that we decided it would be easier to rip up the top layer of subfloor. One evening I decided to tackle this job and after 2 1/2 hours, I think I had pulled up about a 2‘ x 3‘ piece of subfloor. It was insane how many staples someone had put into the subfloor. I gave up for the evening. That was three or four years ago and I still get hives thinking about it but the new hardwood floor is laid and I am so grateful to be done with that project. I’m also glad I hung in there and saw that project through. Even though removing everything from your floor was a real pain you’ll be glad you did.
Don’t forget junction box extenders for all the outlets. You should install duplex receptacles that also have one usb type a and one usb type c outlet on the device, so you can have multiple spots in the room for charging. I’ve used the Hubbel one for multiple commercial projects I’ve designed.
In our Library renovation project, we installed combo outlets with USBs in one room thinking the space could be expanded for more public computers. Three years later we've turned the room into staff offices and now we don't have enough three pronged outlets for all our monitors, computers, sit-to-stand desks, printers, electric pencil sharpener, etc. $9 million later and we are still running extension cords around the perimeter of the room...at least temporarily until we can get an electrician to swap them for duplexs or combos. :) Not that you can't change yours out easily enough since you did run your own electric. Point, you just never know where things will be set up. LOVE the build!!
@@BMad-we6qf it doesn’t matter if you swap them out, if they are still on the same circuit you are going to overleaf the circuit. WhT you should have done when converting to the office was add a couple of more circuits in there with a quad receptacle. I design all the office spaces I do with a quad where pcs are being located and the panel boards supplying them with surge suppression.
Now that I see it all together, the ceiling would be better with a tan that ties into the wood than white, but the colors are awesome! LOVE the wallpaper and the wood with the black!

Dios te bendiga y Dios bendiga a Todos los que estan leyendo esto! Deseo que tengan un hermoso dia! Buscad a Dios mientras pueda ser hallado! Jesus es el camino y el unico camino y regresa pronto! Recuerda cuando te sientas que no eres amado... el mayor sacrificio se hizo por amor! EL SUICIDIO NUNCA ES LA RESPUESTA! Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna. S. Juan 3:16 RVR1960 La paga del pecado es muerte (infierno) pero Cristo pagó nuestra deuda en la cruz para nuestra salvacion! Debemos volvernos a Dios y apartarnos de nuestros caminos pecaminosos, confesar que Jesús es el Señor y creer con nuestro corazón que fue resucitado de entre los muertos por Dios, y debemos de ser bautizados en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo y vivir por Su palabra y mandamientos! Confia que Dios ayudara con el resto! Busca a Dios, antes de que sea muy tarde! Hoy podria ser tu ultimo dia en la tierra! Que tengas un hermoso dia! ❤️❤️❤️
3M Dinoc is a great alternative to wallpaper and paste. Hundreds of textures and finishes (wood/stone/metallic). It's and architectural film with adhesive (Peel and stick). Looks amazing.
Such a great point you made at around 8:00 about priming raw mud and new drywall! When we decided to take off the old wallpaper in our downstairs bedroom and paint, we ended up with a pock-marked wall that I eventually gave up on and covered with beadboard panels, because whoever had papered down there did so over unpainted drywall, WELDING the paper on forever! So, good tip!
This looks sophisticated and wonderfully natural. This is really coming along. Kudos for putting the sweat equity into the floor. I think that’s going to be a huge difference in the end. Looking forward to to the next installment 👍
1. with wallpaper each roll will have a batch number on it. MAKE SURE YOUR BATCH NUMBERS MATCH. you wont get any misalignment issues then. 2. I've always had much better results pasting the paper even when the manufacturers say to paste the wall. every time i have seen or had bubbles in the paper it's because the wall has been pasted first. 3. While you can measure each "drop" with a tape every time it's much easier to just offer up the roll to the previous drop and mark it there. 4. You're right, Wallpapering can be super Zen if you find your grove.
Yes, back butter the wallpaper bc the wall drink up some of that paste. And use a wallpaper brush when smoothing it out too. Zinzer makes one that I also use when doing a textured paint on hand painted furniture (like a burlap texture).
This looks so good! Yours is the second video I've seen paneling walls, I hope wood paneling is coming back in fashion because I love it! That wallpaper is absolutely gorgeous, I'm in love and I need it in my home immediately.
Fascinating project! I have to confess that I'm in the midst of preparing the living room in my 112 year old house for paint and I discovered that prior owners painted over wallpaper. Several layers of wallpaper. So right now I hate wallpaper with the fire of a thousand suns. 😂 I also have about 27 layers of linoleum in one of the bedrooms that I want to remove, but I've been putting it off for exactly what you experienced while scraping the floor!
Obviously you you to add 6 wireless phone chargers around the room and produce a 45 minute video on how you used a router to make space for them under a desk or whatever. You know, for the algorithm. But seriously that’s a great transformation! Tasteful wallpaper choice. Excited to see the finished product!
Quick tip for marking outlet boxes and the like. Cheap red lipstick! A little swipe on the rim, pressure on the piece to be cut, leaves a perfect outline.
I highly recommend Uplift legs for your sit/stand desk. You can either buy one fully complete, or you can buy just the legs/motor and build your own tabletop. They have tons of accessories and are extremely reliable. The flexibility of them for the top is awesome.
I had done drywall for over a decade and I can honestly say that you didn't do too terrible. As long as there isn't any bubbles, I'd say you're good. Well done!
Nice office space! The re-do is remarkable; your choices of materials … very pretty! The way you divided the wallpaper section, give the wall more dimension resulting in a more attractive feature. Love your work!
For future reference, insulating the walls would greatly reduce the echo and reverb off the drywall, the gaps between the studs are basically small echo chambers. I would even argue for more expensive foam insulation, which is denser, you might not even have to do acoustic treatment in the room for recording videos - maybe. But it would definitely soundproof those walls from anything happening in other rooms. If your UA-cam channel is a side business, you could even write off the expense. A little late for you, obviously, unless you did it from the other side of the walls. But if you build rooms like this for other people, it's a good thing to consider. But nice job on the room. I like the wood you used, the color complements the wallpaper very nicely. Good, clean finish on the carpentry. And I'm glad you re-did that upper trim over the slat door, the little overhang felt off visually against all the other clean lines. So I was glad you caught that. Very nice work.
What a beautiful working space you’ve created for your “office.” Nice. I really appreciate the things you have done to make your work spaces functional and beautiful. Cheers
Nice job 👍 it really looks great. A tip for next time you need to strip out flooring: use acetone … lots of it in small areas at a time (it evaporates very quickly), as it soaks through the “paper” layer, it dissolves the glue. Wear a mask for the fumes, it gets heavy quickly.
Damn, it turned out so nice, i really like the wood trim with the wall paper, and the black worked out nicely with the white ceiling. Can't wait to see the finished product with furniture.
I’m excited to see the how the office turns out! The space looks beautiful so far. Also I’ve been meaning to say that the “new” intro/logo clip is just fantastic. I’m already pumped to watch the videos and that clip after the cold open just kicks it up a notch.
That looks great so far and I can't wait to see what you do with the floors. Don't do much wallpaper but I do really like what you picked. It has a very nice pattern so I might have to rethink about putting up some wallpaper in my office. Best of luck
Just some desk ideas that I have seen other streamers use is a desk top from Ikea and Jack and Jill drawers. others have used a dining room table like I did some time ago for a huge computer desk. I hope this helps you out. Another idea would be going to your recycle store for a slab of wood for the desk top and you make your own design like a french kleet & brace. That would be a great video on its own.
That is absolutely beautiful room. I want to do this in my office too. But need to think about 3D printer area and maybe a glowforge in the future. Probably need some ventilation. Here at my place the the weather is hot so need to consider air conditioner and exhaust fan placement.
Wow. Excellent execution! Nice work Michael! The only accessories I can think of are generic and well-known - cord management and wireless charging inlay.
Great job man! I wanted to share with you that you can buy "Outlet shims" They go into the screw holes for the outlets and bring the depth at which you need to screw them in out further!
Good job getting your sheetrock in with a tape measure. I was never able to do it that way accurately. Instead I just hang the sheetrock right over outlets, then come back with a dremel or a router around the outside of the box.
Was a bit hesistant about the tongue and groove boards, but seeing them go on in this pattern I actually think I like it! Can't wait to see the finished room, Michael!
I'm glad you didn't paint the ceiling black. Dark ceilings give the impression of coming down. And it's also a bit of a shame that the room doesn't get any natural light. I would recommend installing either one or two light wells or some skylights. But if you use the room only at night, it wouldn't be necessary, right? Anyway, I like the design. It turned out really well.
This is very small thing, but I would've used like 12-19mm wide tape at the corners where wall meets ceiling when painting. Leaves nice "light border" and much cleaner look and smooth transition from the white ceiling to black wall. Maybe I am just very nit picky painter lol. Very nice work and very stylish space, like it very much.
I feel your pain on the adhesive stuck to the cement floor. My wife wanted the stick-on vinyl tiles in our laundry room - 'Piece of cake' she says! I was multiple days of the same back-breaking work that you went through. In the end it was worth it (for my project and yours), but not the most pleasant DIY project I have done.
Here's a fun temporary idea! For use until you drill the Glowforge exhaust hole: screw the holesaw circle bit onto the wall inside the hole in the paneling!
Don't know if you're aware so I'm going to point out that you tend to put your finger right next to the nail gun pretty often. If that nail hits something solid it can curve back so it's best to keep your hand at least one nail length away from the gun. The room turned out awesome. I even like the wallpaper, which I'm not really fond of normally. It's probably due to the wood framing it up like a large painting. The colors work really well together.
I did that. I have a line down my thumb when I put it too close to my air nailer....
I see people do this all the time. Makes me cringe.
I watched a guy shoot a framing nail through his hand on a jobsite before. I was an apprentice and still was questioning his technique leading up to the accident
Safety Sally
@@liammcgarrigle reminds me of the master carpenter (Reilly) on This Old House about 30 years ago who was missing a couple fingertips.
I've been putting cork underlayment on my concrete floors. It's easy on the knees, good with moisture, and plays nice with just about anything you put on top of it.
Good to know!! Thanks!
@@MichaelAlm second this! Makes the floor super comfortable and you definitely wont regret it. It also helps alot on the acoustic.

Amen to all above. And ... bubbles will desolve itself as the paper will let the air through. Best not to get them, but don't worrie too much.
👍🎈

It’s so simple but I gotta say I appreciate the timer line when you talk about your sponsors 👍🏻

Dios te bendiga y Dios bendiga a Todos los que estan leyendo esto! Deseo que tengan un hermoso dia! Buscad a Dios mientras pueda ser hallado! Jesus es el camino y el unico camino y regresa pronto! Recuerda cuando te sientas que no eres amado... el mayor sacrificio se hizo por amor! EL SUICIDIO NUNCA ES LA RESPUESTA!
Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna.
S. Juan 3:16 RVR1960
La paga del pecado es muerte (infierno) pero Cristo pagó nuestra deuda en la cruz para nuestra salvacion! Debemos volvernos a Dios y apartarnos de nuestros caminos pecaminosos, confesar que Jesús es el Señor y creer con nuestro corazón que fue resucitado de entre los muertos por Dios, y debemos de ser bautizados en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo y vivir por Su palabra y mandamientos! Confia que Dios ayudara con el resto!
Busca a Dios, antes de que sea muy tarde! Hoy podria ser tu ultimo dia en la tierra!
Que tengas un hermoso dia!

I know nothing about carpentry and find this process awesome. What a gift you have! All the best with the balance.
Good start! There is a tremendous benefit in setting up a smart, attractive workspace. I look forward to seeing how you complete it!
3M Dinoc is a great alternative to wallpaper and paste. Hundreds of textures and finishes (wood/stone/metallic). It's and architectural film with adhesive (Peel and stick). Looks amazing.
Such a great point you made at around 8:00 about priming raw mud and new drywall! When we decided to take off the old wallpaper in our downstairs bedroom and paint, we ended up with a pock-marked wall that I eventually gave up on and covered with beadboard panels, because whoever had papered down there did so over unpainted drywall, WELDING the paper on forever! So, good tip!
It's looking really good!! Love the combo of wallpaper and paneling
Looking great! I’d add some frosted white privacy tinting to those glass doors to hide the washer/dryer and add some beautiful diffused lighting.
This looks sophisticated and wonderfully natural. This is really coming along. Kudos for putting the sweat equity into the floor. I think that’s going to be a huge difference in the end. Looking forward to to the next installment 👍
So glad you changed that piece above the wooden door. It was really hurting my OCD!
You can put self leveling compound on the floor that would be great
That Douglass fir tongue and groove really looks good
Hats off to you (and anyone) else who not only does a great job wallpapering but enjoys it as well!
1. with wallpaper each roll will have a batch number on it. MAKE SURE YOUR BATCH NUMBERS MATCH. you wont get any misalignment issues then.
2. I've always had much better results pasting the paper even when the manufacturers say to paste the wall. every time i have seen or had bubbles in the paper it's because the wall has been pasted first.
3. While you can measure each "drop" with a tape every time it's much easier to just offer up the roll to the previous drop and mark it there.
4. You're right, Wallpapering can be super Zen if you find your grove.
Yes, back butter the wallpaper bc the wall drink up some of that paste. And use a wallpaper brush when smoothing it out too. Zinzer makes one that I also use when doing a textured paint on hand painted furniture (like a burlap texture).
This looks so good! Yours is the second video I've seen paneling walls, I hope wood paneling is coming back in fashion because I love it! That wallpaper is absolutely gorgeous, I'm in love and I need it in my home immediately.
I love the wallpaper and how the surrounding wood complements the lines… great choices
Fascinating project! I have to confess that I'm in the midst of preparing the living room in my 112 year old house for paint and I discovered that prior owners painted over wallpaper. Several layers of wallpaper. So right now I hate wallpaper with the fire of a thousand suns. 😂 I also have about 27 layers of linoleum in one of the bedrooms that I want to remove, but I've been putting it off for exactly what you experienced while scraping the floor!
Looks great, Michael. I've been retired too long to know what's new in office trends. Please make sure we see the finished office space.

Obviously you you to add 6 wireless phone chargers around the room and produce a 45 minute video on how you used a router to make space for them under a desk or whatever. You know, for the algorithm.
But seriously that’s a great transformation! Tasteful wallpaper choice. Excited to see the finished product!
Quick tip for marking outlet boxes and the like. Cheap red lipstick! A little swipe on the rim, pressure on the piece to be cut, leaves a perfect outline.
Looks great! I was a trim carpenter in a previous life and that looks totally professional! Great job! 👍🤘
I highly recommend Uplift legs for your sit/stand desk. You can either buy one fully complete, or you can buy just the legs/motor and build your own tabletop. They have tons of accessories and are extremely reliable. The flexibility of them for the top is awesome.
If you do the floor thing again, use a wallpaper steamer. The heat and liquid will help.
I had done drywall for over a decade and I can honestly say that you didn't do too terrible. As long as there isn't any bubbles, I'd say you're good. Well done!
Nice office space! The re-do is remarkable; your choices of materials … very pretty! The way you divided the wallpaper section, give the wall more dimension resulting in a more attractive feature. Love your work!
Your work is always so clean. One of my most favourite UA-camrs.
I watched the first and second of your video all I can say is you are an excellent guy very good with your hands.
For future reference, insulating the walls would greatly reduce the echo and reverb off the drywall, the gaps between the studs are basically small echo chambers. I would even argue for more expensive foam insulation, which is denser, you might not even have to do acoustic treatment in the room for recording videos - maybe. But it would definitely soundproof those walls from anything happening in other rooms. If your UA-cam channel is a side business, you could even write off the expense. A little late for you, obviously, unless you did it from the other side of the walls. But if you build rooms like this for other people, it's a good thing to consider.
But nice job on the room. I like the wood you used, the color complements the wallpaper very nicely. Good, clean finish on the carpentry. And I'm glad you re-did that upper trim over the slat door, the little overhang felt off visually against all the other clean lines. So I was glad you caught that. Very nice work.
Even with all these nice tools, it is nice that you find ways to save money without sacrificing quality
What a beautiful working space you’ve created for your “office.” Nice. I really appreciate the things you have done to make your work spaces functional and beautiful. Cheers
What I'm most impressed with is that you did it in 10 days 👍 it has taken me months to redo a closet and bathroom 😅
If you own a reciprocating saw, there are scraper blades you can buy. They work like a charm.
Thanks for introducing me to Second Use! I'm a Seattle local also. This place will come in quite handy!
Nice job 👍 it really looks great.
A tip for next time you need to strip out flooring: use acetone … lots of it in small areas at a time (it evaporates very quickly), as it soaks through the “paper” layer, it dissolves the glue. Wear a mask for the fumes, it gets heavy quickly.
Damn, it turned out so nice, i really like the wood trim with the wall paper, and the black worked out nicely with the white ceiling. Can't wait to see the finished product with furniture.
Room looks amazing, Michael! Can’t wait to see next week’s video and it all finished out!💜
I'm loving the Douglas fir! The whole space looks great.
I’m excited to see the how the office turns out! The space looks beautiful so far. Also I’ve been meaning to say that the “new” intro/logo clip is just fantastic. I’m already pumped to watch the videos and that clip after the cold open just kicks it up a notch.
Thanks Dominic 🙌
That looks great so far and I can't wait to see what you do with the floors. Don't do much wallpaper but I do really like what you picked. It has a very nice pattern so I might have to rethink about putting up some wallpaper in my office. Best of luck
The wallpaper is beautiful! Omg I’m in love
I am glad you reused the dry wall. Gotta tape and mud anyway.
That's a beautiful space. Thanks for showing us!
Ashley's desk looks like a desk I bought from Boeing Surplus and Second Use is one of my favorite stores!
Just some desk ideas that I have seen other streamers use is a desk top from Ikea and Jack and Jill drawers. others have used a dining room table like I did some time ago for a huge computer desk. I hope this helps you out. Another idea would be going to your recycle store for a slab of wood for the desk top and you make your own design like a french kleet & brace. That would be a great video on its own.
That is absolutely beautiful room. I want to do this in my office too. But need to think about 3D printer area and maybe a glowforge in the future. Probably need some ventilation. Here at my place the the weather is hot so need to consider air conditioner and exhaust fan placement.
Looks awesome I kinda like doing the little 1/2 inch hangover on the door topcap.
Excellent job!! Super professional and the end product was amazing. I hope it brings you a lot of joy
Wow. Excellent execution! Nice work Michael!
The only accessories I can think of are generic and well-known - cord management and wireless charging inlay.
Awesome work, Michael! 😃
The room turned out really beautiful!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great job man! I wanted to share with you that you can buy "Outlet shims" They go into the screw holes for the outlets and bring the depth at which you need to screw them in out further!
Good job getting your sheetrock in with a tape measure. I was never able to do it that way accurately. Instead I just hang the sheetrock right over outlets, then come back with a dremel or a router around the outside of the box.
Great job, you defiantly need to put a hidden expresso maker and and fridge for the middle of editing refreshment
Saw your video with Wyrmwood nice stuff. I watched you before but so awsome to see my favorite woodworking channels colabing.
turned out lovely! really a joy to watch it come together.
Probably wouldn't go that sty;e myself, but can't argue with the results. It looks really nice, the overall finish.
Nice work. You can put adjustable depth gang boxes (typically for tile backsplashes), then you can just make them flush to your trim
Looks awesome Michael! Side note - I am 100% going to build one of those wooden carriers for drywall equipment. Brilliant!
Great job, and I'm feeling a Japanese sauna vibes in this room, good choice of paint, wallpaper and wood tones 👍👍👍👍
Was a bit hesistant about the tongue and groove boards, but seeing them go on in this pattern I actually think I like it! Can't wait to see the finished room, Michael!
I really like what you did with the wood.
I'm glad you didn't paint the ceiling black. Dark ceilings give the impression of coming down. And it's also a bit of a shame that the room doesn't get any natural light. I would recommend installing either one or two light wells or some skylights. But if you use the room only at night, it wouldn't be necessary, right? Anyway, I like the design. It turned out really well.
Quedo espectacular, y con unas buenas luces, el escritorio y un par de plantas va a quedar todavia mejor. Felicitaciones
the concrete floor looks sweet! i would just seal it and call it a day.
Love that wall paper. So pretty with the wood!
This is very small thing, but I would've used like 12-19mm wide tape at the corners where wall meets ceiling when painting. Leaves nice "light border" and much cleaner look and smooth transition from the white ceiling to black wall. Maybe I am just very nit picky painter lol.
Very nice work and very stylish space, like it very much.
Frosted tint on the glass would be another cool addition
That office looks sick!! Awesome work, Michael!
Watching again...
• from Melaka, Malaysia 🇲🇾✌🏻
ROOM LOOKS GREAT SO FAR!!
Two words for taking up that flooring: pneumatic scraper.
It's amazing.
I feel your pain on the adhesive stuck to the cement floor. My wife wanted the stick-on vinyl tiles in our laundry room - 'Piece of cake' she says! I was multiple days of the same back-breaking work that you went through. In the end it was worth it (for my project and yours), but not the most pleasant DIY project I have done.
Beautiful job, Michael! 💪💪💪
Fantastic work, as always! Can't wait to see the finished walls.
at the start i wasnt sure about the wall paper but wow it actually looks great!
doing the add while you continue something in the corner was a great idea bro.
That douglas fir t&g is amazing! I need to hop over to second use!
Here's a fun temporary idea! For use until you drill the Glowforge exhaust hole: screw the holesaw circle bit onto the wall inside the hole in the paneling!
