  • I turned a small, boring nook in my parent's newly renovated basement into a pseudo-office space by building a DIY Floating Desk with hidden storage.

    A potential use for the holes from the hard-ware installation mis-adventure (I do stuff like this all the time) would be to drill holes through and use them for wires or charging cables. If not, it would be a fun project to cut custom plugs and fill the holes. Would be great practice for potential future projects, such as cutting out knot holes or defects out of wood.

    WOW!!! Beautifully done and you explain everything so well. Very detailed and specific but yet also easy to understand and follow along.
    I found your channel when I was searching for tips on how to arrange furniture in small/awkwardly shaped rooms and that led me to your apartment tour, which I watched and then commented on. I was so impressed that you took the time to respond to so many of the comments (including mine!) that I subscribed and started checking out your other videos.
    I love decorating and doing diy home projects but I have to admit I've always been too intimidated to use power tools myself. I always end up passing that part of the projects to my boyfriend or even my 72 year old mother... I have to say she's a total OG with her own tool box and a collection of power tools that rival most men's. Lol
    But I think I FINALLY might have the confidence to try and tackle a project myself. Particularly this one bc I've been wanting a floating desk like this one in my bedroom to use as a vanity. I'm hoping to get the supplies together and start in the next week or so! I don't have an enclosed area like the one you made yours in so I guess I can apply the same idea to a corner right? What about just coming straight out of the wall, say in the middle of the wall, without anything on either side. Is that possible? It wouldn't have much weight put on it at all. I could even hang the mirror above it instead of setting it's weight on the desk. So it would only need to hold enough weight for makeup and some hair products.

    • @diyhuntress
      @diyhuntress  4 роки тому +1

      So happy you’re here and thank you for all of the love! I would love to see you tackle this build! 😍 You can totally make this in a corner or in the middle of a wall!

Congratulations for the great work and the fact that that you are doing it from your parents' basement add even more inspiration to it because it means you can definitely start from where you are and with what you have.

    From one girl to another. Girl or not I guess! I am sooo impressed and proud of you. This is amazing., being a shop girl and in the garages and shops with my dad and boyfriend. Doing all kinds of building and fixing everything. I’ve just in the past year, really projected my attention towards woodworking and the tools but don’t have to much space for the big projects so this is just so nice to see. GREAT JOB and I’ve subscribed so thank you so much for giving me hope and ideas.
