I recently moved into my very own house! Check the vlog about that here: goo.gl/K18Z2e
And i've been working on some DIY project around the house. The first thing to tackle was setting up my home office with a giant diy wall to wall desk. ps. big thanks to Austin for helping me put this together!

wow this is the simplest, best, foolproof DIY desk that i find to be the most practical out of all DIY desks i've seen on youtube since every other video requires a full on woodshop. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS GEM!
If I were you, I'd do a finish to the wood. I just think you'll be happier with it, even if it's more work to do. Sanding and putting a clear finish on it doesn't change the look much, but the feeling.
You should use wipe-on poly (polyurethane). It protects the timber nicely and enhances the natural colour and grain (it will just darken it as tho the timber is wet!). It's also really easy to apply and comes in different finishes such as gloss, satin and matte.
Celine Ertzinger 100% agree! As soon as she spills anything or even make up on the bare wood its going to stain the wood. Need something to seal the wood even a water based semi or matte
does tung oil seal wood in the same manner?
does tung oil seal wood in the same manner?
You're totally right! Added it to my "to do" list ;)
My favorite easy DIY desk top is to get a flat hollow core door from Home Depot or Lowes and put it on half height file cabinets, shelf units, or the trestle style legs like you did. The hollow core door is nice and light, but also sturdy and rigid enough and they come in a variety of widths, so it's easy to have a massive, substantial work surface that's easy to move too. In college I did this and stuck the door to the cabinets with poster putty so it would stay put but also be easy to take apart when it was time to move.
Alex Reith yoooo that’s actually soooo simple and smart
That sort of clean Scandinavian style is my favorite!!
Love it too, so minimal, clean, so much space you feel very comfortable and you feel very productive in this kind of environments. Absolutely gorgeous
Just a btw, you can turn the drawers around on the Alex and put on some handles if you'd like!
That desk is so cool! Also I loved the editing and format of the video. It feels personal and cozy. Love you guys!
That's awesome to hear! We love you too!
TheSorryLife hey u guys r so cool! i love watching all your vids. keep doing your thing. love ya!😙😙😙
I really loved this video +TheSorryLife. Very well put together. I do have one question, what is that clock wallpaper you have, I love it and would really like to incorporate it into daily setup. Thanks!
I like the way you wrote notes on the video. Getting the Ikea item names was helpful.
There's a weird smudge on the right side
Amanda Tu It drove me nuts trying to clean it off until I realised it was on the video!
Amanda Tu I kept wondering if it was my screen. So I decided to check the comments lol
Sammme
OMG YES. I don't know how I didn't notice it the entire time I was filming. It was driving me CRAZY while editing!
I thought it was my phone screen lol
you couls get a big piece of plex glass to fit ontop of the wood for a smooth surface
i like the tile idea! a nice way to introduce some stone type material into the room. stone, wood and metal always a winner!
Love it! I always need a large working space to lay out my papers and books. I find a large dining room table works great, when all the mail is removed, lol.
Would kill to have an office like this !!! Now this space would actually make me want to study 😂😂
I would so love an updated version of this desk to see what they would do differently now. I’m going to be recreating this idea soon in my own space!!
this is lovely! i like that even though The Sorry Girls have made it big, you're still going for the less costly route in your DIYs :) also, will you be doing some sort of house tour in the future?
Always! We still love to save money and we know you guys do too! I definitely will eventually, I'm just working on a few more spaces until it feels "done
nice! thanks girls! :)
Was thinking of joining two table tops from ikea using 2 trussels and two drawers so this was nice to see as an alternative too.
I've been working on my dream desk concept for a while too. I've come to realize an important part for me is also having plenty of leg space in front of me. My desk plans are calling for a desk that is at least 30 inches deep! I know it will make my desk HUGE and take up a lot of space. *BUT* I think it's a small price to pay for total desk comfort. Good luck to you! thanks for sharing!
I loved the "do it yourself" comment by the husband, pretty much nails it because all you did was put labels on the drawers haha
Very nice desk, I think a darker finish for the surface would have been nicer but each to their own
I love this so much 💖 Bookmarking this for my future dream office 😍
you can put a transparent plastic cover over the table, its a thick plastic sheet or a glass sheet to make the table surface smoother to work with
3:09 Soo.. you can shorten the legs ..all you don't is find the a nice flat level area..(i.e. that room) Figure out what amount needs to come off and cut a scrap piece to that height etc. now sit the scrap on the floor next to the trellis and mark with a pen or marking knife (repeat for rest of legs) then hand saw following marked guides
i like how you did your office! as a designer, I'm pretty impress by the outcome! one thing troubles me is that those planks will sag as time passes by, you need a support the center or don't put too much heavy stuff on the counter
This looks really good , I would like to have something a bit similar but I have very limited space.
So cool. You could also just use flat metal brackets or L brackets on the underside to hold the wood together and even mount it to the wall for added stability. I love this. Especially just using 2x10s. So much more affordable than sheets of lumber. I'm going to do this.
I would love to have a huge desk like that! It'd fit all my sewing machines, definitely going to re-create this when my husband and I remodel our house ^_^
you should never use u finished wood as a finished product. Especially on a desk. It'll get smudgy and dirty in no time and you'll never be able to clean it because the wood works like a sponge if it comes to liquids and other dirt
Very minimal and yet so cool.
Great video and pretty cool outcome. Not much DYI but the creative aspect is what draws me in. You're lucky your boyfriend is so patient/understanding, never tell someone building something for you you couldve done it yourself! Thats why it was left unfinished lmao easily coulda easily hit it w 150- 220 grit at least + stain and or finish. Never question, belittle, or over simplify a job you can't do unless you want to settle for less. People spend a lifetime perfecting something you so easily say you couldve done yourself
I like all of that workspace! Looks great. I just did a video on my desk build with a very similar idea
You have saved my life with this project idea!!! Im gonna be building a long crafting table, and this tutorial is super helpful!
Beautifully done. My issue with desks is not just how small most of them are, but also the hight! I am short and i still bend my neck a lot to work even when i am watching a vid on my labtop my neck hurts a lot.
This is PERFECT. I was just looking on how to do my own giant desk/DIY station and I have those drawers!
Have fun with the splinters...
adding a clear sealer to the wood would be smart...and would reduce scuffing and marking and make water resistant...nice results ...good ideas
giant office #win loving the decor. loving the lumiy lighting.
I loved this video,very minimalistic just perfect. it inspired me to refurbish my studyroom.
nice desk. i would also look into getting a good LED lamp. i hear really good things about the Lumiy Lightblade desk lamp.
Okay this is a pretty cool idea for a desk. I think I'm going to do this when I make one.
I like this chill format so much.
So cool desk!
Love this idea, get a cool-looking desk exactly the right dimensions and with exactly the right number of drawers. Might do this myself if I can afford it.
I did something similar as well I have a 8 ft white melamine board cut in two with two skinny espresso cabinets from walmart underneath, When my space grew and I needed another desk I had the left over board and bought another two cabinets and laid it across cost around $70 for one desk!
That's a very cool desk, and nice office space.
A tip for cutting down legs- especially angled ones: Use a spacer block of thickness equal to height you want to remove then scribe around the leg with pencil using block. Then cut along line, making sure kerf of blade is on waste side of line. This works on tables, chairs, barstools, etc.
Looks pretty nice and modern. Just that without support in the center, it is going to sag. Just like your shelf.
i love the unpainted, soft light wood look. so beautiful !
I really liked your quick & easy desk! I WANT th CLOCK! Where can I buy one???? TY! Subscribed!!!!
loved the office
The porcelain tile is a really nice idea.
CLEAN THE CAMERA LENS
Thank god you said that, I thought it was my glasses X)
now i cant unsee it haha
I think it's some kind of terrible glow filter she added in post.
I think it's from the sun shining in.
I've literally came back and searched for this exact video because this desk/office is dreeeeaaams!
This video is giving me life!!! I might do this with my roommate and do two of them connected for a very large vanity area!!
i love the style of this video! the hand writing on screen is cool! xo
BeccaBxo it takes a lot of effort writing that
Lovely design! Was just wondering if the plank has started to bow in the centre where the monitor is.
I second this - was just about to ask the same question now you've had the desk for over 4 years! Wondered if it's started to sag without a central support?
O.M.G.! What a beauty! I wish my desk was at least half the lenght of this one!
I hit subscribe just after looking at the thumbnail for this video. such an amazing office space.
Looks great!! Ill be posting mine soon!!! My desk is custom built as well wall to wall!! Its huge!!! All that space does come i. Handy!!! Great vid!!!
have you thought about putting a return on the left hand side , remove the drawers (move down or to other side)
, get another trestle and get more office space?
looks great though ?
I'm curious about how you organize your wires at the back and like the vid!
It wouldn't be long enough for this wall, but you can actually buy unfinished/minimally finished doors for very cheap, and use it for a kind of desk like this!
Oof 1:51 that left foot has to be the strongest foot ever to not even budge lol
I'm so in love with this desk. Doing something similar in our spare room. Thanks for the idea.
This is so creative. I love the use of space and the fact that a huge, wall-to-wall table works so wonderfully with the room is very refreshing! I'm so inspired by this, I would love to apply this idea to my room, but I have some concerns. I'm planning to do exactly what you did, but the table is facing a wide, wall-to-wall and low reaching window. I have enough space to install the table but I feel like the window, curtains and grills might look messy and cluttered if I faced the table in such directions. What should I do to minimise the clutter and make it look clean and neat? Thank you!
When you click on a video and hear your favourite artist I love you Tom Rosenthal 😍 makes you love the video even more ^.^
Wow so simple but an amazing idea for a cheap desk! Thanks for the idea
Bruh i read “off ice” instead of “office” 😂😂😂 i cant
Looks awesome!! I am gonna try a version.
This is brilliant, thank you for giving me the inspiration for my daughter's bedroom.
Simple build and nice design.
Thanks for sharing your idea.
ive been using marble tiles as desk accessories for a while too! i went to home depot and the guy actually just cave me the tile for free!!
You guys are amazing.
I love it, I would have cut a small hole in the board closest to the wall so I could connect a power strip to the wall and snake it behind the desk. But this just gave me an awesome idea for my next desk.
Would love to see how you decorate the rest of your house as well :)
Very nice inspiration. And I really appreciate you wrote the names of the products into the video :) Thank you.
the simplicity is cool 😍
Hi Becky!
My names Cody, I have recently just subscribed to your guys' channel a few months ago and I completely adore both your style and Kelsey's style! Your guys' projects always turn out great, especially the desk and the planter box (which might be y next project) :)
I LOVE DIYs!
I have recently just moved into a house with my boyfriend and some friends and have been hard at work making our bedroom home-y. I saw this video and decided I HAD to have this desk. So here is a comment to say thank you for the design! I am completely in love with the way mine turned out and I can't wait to start doing work on it!
I would love to share my picture with you, so let me know and I can send you what I did to mine. I had to build my own cabinet from scratch to fit the space we have, and I varathaned the table top because we always have our window open and I didn't want to ruin the wood, otherwise it's pretty identical to what you have aha
Keep up the wonderful work you two!
that desk is bae
Isn't it going to Hang in the middle When you Put stuff on it?
it sure will
TSG are literally my fave UA-camrs. Y'all are so creative and just awesome and I totally align with your aesthetic and y'all are always on trend! Thank you so much for being you
i was jw where you got the label maker thing you used to label your drawers
Looks great
Your room is awesome...I would drool on your desk..
hey. what?
This is a stunning desk! I need to make myself one just like it for my writing. I always find myself squirming for space with my little desk I just have too many books and notes and pens plus a laptop that I need all at once so a desk like this would be perfect! Thanks for this tutorial! :D
Very cool, nice work.
Your setup is very nice. I like your desk a lot.
very nice job Whats is the size of your desk and how much did you pay for those lovely planks Tank you for your video
A few other ideas, for use in a standard-lumber-based office setup: Use smooth panes of glass on top of the wood as a finished desk surface. Any good glass / windshield repair shop should be able to supply this. I have seen a single thick pane of glass used as a cover for a round, wooden tabletop, and it works. It makes for a nicer surface to sign documents on. for the trouble you went to, you could also have done away with the IKEA sawhorse by constructing ledges of layers 2 x4s to set your lumber shelf on. Your setup is neat, but looks like it could use some cable management.
What an amazing space to work!
Love this!! I love the minimalist feel the room gives :) totally inspired!
I know you have a lot of drawers already but if you had to put that 2x4 in the middle, you should’ve made another little pencil drawer. But I really like the simple design, might do that for my desk
The format is really cool!
lol I remember when I was small I had to share my desk with my sister, so I made myself a desk out of cardboard with a cardboard lamp and a pencil pot out of cardboard #diy
I love this d.i.y. desk, and you have given me some great ideas, as I am about to do the same with some Anna Griffin craft furniture. I'm thinking about making the same type of desktop with either multiple boards, or one big board. Would it work to glue and nail a piece of decorative trim down the front edge, a little wider than the edge of the board to hide the rough edge and the support boards underneath? Or would that just look weird?
I love this desk!!! It would be so pretty if you did something with the floor :) maybe a laminate lay over or fluffy rug of some sort
Nice video.
Mind to share how to include the writing in the video?
It is really cool to have that effect.
i neeeeed to know, what is the thing you printed labels with? where did you get it! ive been looking for one like for about a year Now!
