Building Our Dream Entertainment Center | Start to Finish DIY

- Опубліковано 9 тра 2024
- We have been working on this project for months and we are so excited to share it with you all! This is one of our favorite projects to date and think it turned out fantastic!! We started with the design using SketchUp, built the base using Ikea Besta cabinets, assembled custom oak countertops floating shelves, installed the black on black slat wall, and adding LED accent lighting throughout! It was a very challenging, yet fun project - let us know what you all think!
Thank you for watching and hopefully you found the video helpful!

Great to see a husband and wife working together and supporting each other to create a home. Excellent result all round.
I only saw him working. Although she made some lines with a pencil and reached him a tool from time to time. Not to forget her supporting grimaces while he was working. ^^ But the work here in this video is very good. Looking good and I love the way he designed the shelves and how to mount them.
@mantelmann13 you obv didn't watch the whole video or any of their other videos smh. Stfu with that biased gender talk.
@@mantelmann13i was betting on a comment like this being here. . . .because you obviously can slow down timelapses inside your mind and see what they were doing
@@mantelmann13 In all fairness, she does a lot of working from home, so she can't just spend all of her time building stuff. She has also admitted numerous times that Grant is much more experienced with building, and that she is not as comfortable doing everything he does.
That being said, she still does some work of her own. Drawing lines, handing him tools, and giving him support is as good of a job as any other. She wouldn't be helping him if she didn't want to support him. Therefore, they are working together.
and why were you expecting a comment like that...?@@turbulentmind2044
Love seeing couples work together to improve their home
I am beyond impressed. I’ve been on this earth 70 years and I don’t have your skills. So cool that you have this project documented. You both should be very proud of yourselves. A couple of pros!
Their dynamic is just as much of a goal as the setup, great job y’all!
Hey, we really love seeing you use our led diffuser to create a perfect lighting setup! I wonder if we can share it with more people and learn something from it👍
Beautiful work. Our den is a 14x22 room. We installed an IKEA wall unit that fills the 14 foot wall. I built that thing myself, while my husband was visiting family. By the time he came home it was completely done and filled with photos and my collection of books , his tv.
Outstanding transformation! Between the copper bowl on the Klipse speakers and the modern fan-Perfect! Great job.
Your attention to detail is truly inspirational.
You did a great job of transforming the room into an elegant room. Wonderful design and thoughtful work by the two of you.
Thank you so much! 😊
This looks awesome, you guys crushed it! Love the look, super modern and custom.
Im always impressed at your knowledge from electrical to just been resourceful on how it all comes together. I’d love to see the planning process of this, sketching, research etc.
Thank you so much!! We definitely do a lot of research and planning before starting a project so that would a great video - thanks for the idea!
My wife and I are getting ready for a huge remodel ourselves and, this was super inspiring! Thanks for your effort into this video. Your project turned out amazing!!!
Great job. I love your idea of the foam insulation as a base when cutting sheet timber, so thanks for that great tip! 👍
I’m obsessed with that wall! Great job! I really love the middle slatted section.
Us too 😍 Love the black on black look - looks so sleek!
This is fantastic. This is something I have been long planning for my similar space. Thank you guys for going for such an aesthetic vibe that is bold and slick.
Thank you!! Good luck with your project 😁
I really love the project you did. The bonus of it all is that you do it as a couple.
Thanks for the inspiration. I am going to do this in our new home in the downstairs living space. Great work!!!
First time viewer....I'm a retired interior designer and lover of home audio/video.... I've watched content similar to this but rarely stay interested enough to finish... This was a great video, great workmanship and a beautiful outcome... That's a win/win/win.... Loved it, you both take care.
Thank you so much, we really appreciate it! We're glad you enjoyed the video and project!
This is amazing! Thank You for all the links for the materials used! I appreciate the time and effort spent to share all this with us! 😍
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😁
`If you had a cabinet shop set up with the right machines and tools, the sky would be your limit. Excellent video. Thanks for sharing you talent.
Nice job. Good planning. Great craftsmanship and a true example of diy. Great use of the laser plumb.
Bud, that is the best Entertainment wall/ Decor I've ever seen.
Great job !
Thank you so much!! Really appreciate it 😁
I love this. Congratulations on being the only video that concentrates on installing proper audio instead of a fire place ❤
Thank you! We don’t mess around when it comes to AV 😂
I do like that beautiful orange “I” on your jacket. The work is incredible too, but I really appreciate you showing off the U of I!
This is a massive project. Really well done! Thanks for all of the tips and details.
Absolutely beautiful!!! You guys did an excellent job!!!
Thank you so much 😁
Very cool project guys. Loved following the story and love the attention to detail. Great job 💪
Thank you so much - really means a lot coming from you guys!! It’s been exciting watching your build come together as well 😁
I was like wait, I know that icon? 🤔
Me too
It's cool how the first impression of the video might feel like a more typical influencer DIY video but the more you watch + the timelapse editing show a methodical and accurate approach to the whole build
Is it...
Nice glance back. Too cool!
I’ve been loving that color scheme since you’ve used it in the lake house.
Can’t go wrong with black and wood tones haha! Thanks for watching and following along 😁
Thank you for making this in one video 😊. You guys are amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it! I thought this video would be more entertaining as one big video start to finish
What a great looking project in the end! I gleaned several great ideas too - loved the leveling cement as a textured background. 👌 🫶
What an amazingly well-done project.BRAVO! You surpassed most professional cabinet installations.
incredible, you guys add much value to the living room. Absolutely beautiful. I am not the fan of dark accent, but definietly will use your idea for my coming projects
Wow, thank you!
Absolutely incredible!! From the editing, the design, the build quality, the lighting - you both did such a great job 👏 and I love the bloopers haha
Glad you liked it!!
what I like most about this build is that all of it is made with equipment most people (who are renovating that is) actually have. Projects that are made with expensive giant woodworking machines may be nice too, but 'amateurs' like most of us are, neither have the money or space to do that. But this shows what you can achieve with 'normal' tools and a realistic budget.
Thanks, appreciate it!
Absolutely gorgeous! Great job Grant! Perfect lighting, love the black!
Thank you Debby!! The LED lighting really works so well with the black color and dark grey concrete
Incredible. How do people become so talented?!? I swear sometime it feels like I can’t even hammer a nail in straight
Practice makes perfect
lol, same here. I am addicted watching people work on their houses, renovate, build new bathroom etc. I wish I was this handy.
Killed it as usual! Your attention to details is always spot on! Looks so good!
Thank you so much!! We try very hard to make our projects look at professional as possible even though it’s just DIY 😏
That looks fantastic. Nice to have a room that size to work with. I think the TV size is fine, but it's obviously built so that if you decide to go bigger you can. Enjoy!
Absolutely incredible. You must be really proud of the result.
Love love LOVED this video! The first of yours I'd come across but I subscribed straight away. Such creative vision and execution - what a team! Huge congratulations 🎉🎉
Thank you so much!! We’re glad you found our channel 😁 More content coming in the new year 👀
This was badass. Nice job! Inspiring me to make some much needed updates to my home.
Thank you!! Good luck with your projects!
The transparency is refreshing , the cost breakdown and bloopers are hilarious. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
It looks awesome guys!
I recently finished my kitchen and used the same COB lights with diffuser under the shelves, couldn’t be any happier
Thank you 😊!! I recently discovered COB LEDs and they are a game changer. They look so sleek
This turned out incredibly! I cannot wait to see how I can put my spin on an imitation of this. Thank you! ❤
Turned out amazing! Great work.
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
INCREDIBLE transformation! Great job guys I'm so jealous!
Thanks Liam!! Our bathroom renovation is soon approaching and I think I’ll have to add in some LEDs in the niches like you! Your latest bathroom reno came out spectacular 👌
You guys did such an amazing job! I bet all your friends are wanting you to build them something now, huh?! Seriously, just awesome!
📍 Nice DIY! 1st time viewer. Looks nice! Any post construction and 1 year later review/notes on changes for your viewers?
Suggestions:
Cabinet lumber is better purchased at a local wood store. The big box places are typically construction grade wood. Also, MDF is prone to moisture/humidity issues.
LED channel could have been routed in at a bit deeper and at a ~20’ inward towards the wall to have less light glare towards the couch. Possibly individual shelf lighting control (rather than all shelves illuminated). Paint the channels black, too. I didn’t see the end width of the shelf, but perhaps a solid piece of lumber for the front 4 inches? (That router seems close to lessening the structural integrity. Maybe a biscuit and glue to assist in strength?
Floating shelves might have been good to have anchored metal braces from the wall into your shelves, but your load appears light… so, all good.
Brilliant use of dyed concrete.
PVC pipe installed 1st (behind the walls and into the wallpaper layer wall) is great for feeding wires and changing wiring later. Easy with a fishing string, cotton balls, and a shop vac to pull the fishing line through, then tie in the new wire and pull. Can even leave a fishing line in there for the future. Don’t use monofilament (use threaded spider wire). Use this PVC method for new floor as well if you want to have power in the middle of the room (under a couch or side/coffee table). Works great for hiding speaker wires, too. Also great for outdoor wires to go underground (even if only an extension cord or speaker wire).
now some crown molding trim, baseboards, new paint, and new blinds, your living room is SET! Looks fire!! 🔥
Exactly!! We still have some projects in the works but trim and finishing touches are coming soon 👀 Thank you!!
Wow. Blown away! Kudos on a great job.
That’s one of the best media wall transformations I’ve seen. Absolutely amazing job! Really wonderful attention to detail!👏
Wow - thank you so much!!
I love the family room. I was wondering if you could share the name of the couch !? Great video and workship that went into this lovely family room!
Love what you guys did. I have looked to find the same Besta cabinets you got from IKEA. So many to pick from. Could you please be a little more specific as to which ones you got. I am afraid to order the wrong ones. I would really appreciate it. Thanks
This looks insane! Absolutely love it! I can’t wait to do these kind of jobs in my own place!
Amazing job in all fronts! Turned out incredible!!!
These are the only instances in which I’m jealous of American’s paper mache houses
😂 I’ll take it! Thank you!!
Very true it is impossible to do this in a concrete house without decimating bricks and concrete it gets really messy
Awesome work. Love it. What was the wall mount adapter you used behind the tv to. Move the power up and hide the cords? Don’t see it listed anywhere. Sorry if I am missing it.
Beautiful. Inspiration for us to get moving on similar ideas that has been bouncing around our heads, loved the Ikea simple cabinet idea.🎉
Thank you!! Glad it was helpful 😁
I wish I was a wood worker. This build is amazing. Great job team!
Every time I watch your channel flies land on my phone, because your show is THE SH!T 💯👍👍👍👊😊
😂 Thank you!!
You guys seem like a great couple. I love watching your videos! Grant’s meticulous work and Bianca’s jokes make every video fun to watch. Side note, Bianca should pursue ASMR 😂 that 1 second clip sounded professional!
Thank you so much!! We really do work great together 😁 And noted on Bianca’s future career 😅
@@GoldenKeyDesign Hey, you two have to look at the comment above this one from @onetwostep6389.
WOW! truly a dream entertainment center! Great job!
Boyee oh Boyee guys!!! This came out great!!!! So many cool features. Using the Ikea cabinets was a good choice & time saver. Blessings for 2024 my friends, Dirty Jersey out!!!
i love that you show the end result at the BEGINNING of the video. More often than not, DIY videos do not show the final product until the very end of the video. Very nice Entertainment Center!
Thank you, appreciate it!
Jesteście cudowni! Fantastic job! ♥️
I have a LG - OLED like you guys have and I am so in love with the pictures. You guys will definitely enjoy it. I had my over a year with no problems.👍🏽✌🏽
Great to hear! It's a fantastic TV
Outstanding job and design. I'm happy for you.
Really inspired…. Everything was done in a simple to do way. Not all kinds of over complicated methods. Looks amazing
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching 😁
Absolutely amazing! Congrats on the perfect look. Very modern.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it 😁
WOW, this makes me want to completely redo the entertainment center I built a year ago. Fantastic work.
😅 Thank you!!
Y’all did beyond an amazing job. You should be extremely proud of what you’ve accomplished 👏🏻
Thank you so much!!
Great job guys.
Really enjoyed watching it all come together.
The space you have created really suits the room.
Great job!
Very well done! Really like the way the LED's pull it all together. Vertical slats worked out really well too. Excited to see the rest of your projects
Thank you very much!
super impressive guys! nothing seemed super hard just alot of planning and time consuming. love how all this turned out! gives me some inspo for my house.
Thank you!! You’re exactly right - technically speaking, isn’t not a super tough project. The hardest part is planning and sourcing materials!
wow. totally impressed. I would never have the patience for that.
What a fantastic project! It looks beautiful!❤❤❤
Wow, what a job, love that 👏 👏
Really great design and build more shots of it working and lit up would be nice. Fantastic
This is awesome! I'd do something like this if I had that much open space. LOVE IT!!!!
Amazing work guys!! I can't wait to see, the bathrooms and the kitchen transformation. Merry Christmas!!!
Absolutely stunning!
that is absolutely gorgeous! well done!
I just found your video, thanks to the UA-cam algorithm. I can’t believe how much work you put into that project. But it does look amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you found us and thanks for watching!!
Great job. Super clean and really stylish.
Great job guys. The hard work paid off. Looking forward to your next project.
Thank you Matthew!! 😁
excellent work. The system to mount those shelves is genius!
Thank you so much, really appreciate it!!
Oh Wow - awesome job, night and day transformation - very nice....love the color tones used very clean!
Thank you so much!
So glad UA-cam teed up this video! I'll have to piggyback on what everyone else has already said - incredible job and one of the most startling renovations I've seen. Nicely done you two!
Thank you so much!! Glad you found us and enjoyed the video 😁 More projects are coming in the new year 👀
That was a lot of work and turned out awesome. Thanks for sharing.
It sure was 😅 But it was completely worth it! Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed it!
It's amazing to see what can be achieved with some creativity and elbow grease.
Planning this project for our living room
A lot of hard work but the final product worth it, amazing looking TV Room. Congratulations
Wow!!!! Great job you two!
Thank you so much 😊
great work! congratulations on your Klipsch system. I am planning on similar set up.
This looks so amazing! Great job! UA-cam recommended this video to me and I’m glad it did.
Solid build! Congrats.
Thank you!! 😊
Great job.. team work makes the dream work.
That looks great. I really like the indirect light. The black and the wood tone go well together. The fact that you look directly at the floating slopes, I would miss a baseboard under the slopes.
Thanks for the feedback!
I enjoyed every step of the construction. Thanks for the experience 😉
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
