    I’ve only rented my whole life and I’ve been too scared to put any holes in walls or paint regardless how long I’ve been in a place. I wish I could get over this fear because i hate living in barebone’s houses.

  3. Johanne on July 15, 2023 at 2:40 pm

    This was very creative, handy and inspiring. You have good vision

  9. Flip Man Dan on July 15, 2023 at 2:46 pm

    This is cool! This house furniture looks astounding. I’m blown away with how great it looks. I just subbed! I’ve been buying hundreds of patio sets this last month at garage sales around my area and repainting them and selling them for profit. Would love to get your opinion on my latest patio set video. Let me know! My instagram is @flipmandan

    Brilliant makeover. I’m looking at creating a similar study nook in my new apartment. Can you please share the dimensions of the space your study was created out of?

    Love it! The desk over the shelf gives do much space. The room looks much bigger

  17. seapeajones on July 15, 2023 at 2:54 pm

    Thoroughly impressed with how you executed and improvised that barn door!

  18. J C on July 15, 2023 at 2:54 pm

    I’m so glad I found you….lol

  19. Ethel Perry on July 15, 2023 at 2:55 pm

    Thank You! : )

  20. Elena Latici on July 15, 2023 at 2:58 pm

    I subscribed when I saw you build a tall, narrow, pull out pantry on wheels. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Much gratitude for that. The male carpenters on YouTube, with some notable exceptions found on Pinterest, make things with such complicated instructions most are impossible to follow.
    I love your office. I live in ancient building in Italy with deep niches perfect for an old table, but I love the wall you created with IKEA bookcases
    Such a great way to divide office space from the rest of the room. I didn’t see the bookcases you used in your list, so if you see this, I’d love to know. Thanks. I love your channel.
    I’m curious about why you left NYC for LA. Are you an actor?
    I made that move back in the 70’s for acting, but missed NYC too much and left.

  21. Robbie Valen on July 15, 2023 at 2:59 pm

    I love the new office space but I especially like how you explain everything but not in a long drawn out matter.

  22. Thanos Gkionis on July 15, 2023 at 3:00 pm

    One of my favourite channels on youtube! Great ideas!

  23. Sarvs Falefitu on July 15, 2023 at 3:01 pm

    Do you have a video showing how you created the dividng wall?

  27. tino tesu on July 15, 2023 at 3:08 pm

    Only if I could be that handy with tools. Nice work.

  28. Eric Brunsell on July 15, 2023 at 3:09 pm

    Could you share the inside dimensions of your office nook? I’m designing a hidden office space and trying to determine the minimum footprint.

  29. dylanmassa on July 15, 2023 at 3:09 pm

    What chair are you using here?

  30. Jumpgenx on July 15, 2023 at 3:10 pm

    Nice job! Phillips makes smart Edison bulbs now so you can replace your bulb in your lamp.

  31. Saahib Khan on July 15, 2023 at 3:11 pm

    you’re very skilled & creative

  48. Jane Jonson on July 15, 2023 at 3:35 pm

    Why didn’t you make another screen type deal that looks like wainscoting and just stick it to the wall like you’ve done with your head board and the black panels in your bedroom? Then you wouldn’t have to repaint.

  49. ILTC on July 15, 2023 at 3:35 pm

    You did a really nice job. Wonderful

  50. Uoo Hoo on July 15, 2023 at 3:36 pm
