Knee Walls with Hidden Doors

[@wwiinnggnnuutt]

I so love the way you two work together. Thank you for sharing the scenery, your family and the amazing projects!

[@supergirl4011]

They are such a great team!

[@sohqur]

I really appreciate a women who work so hard....In my point of view women are the actual head of family. ..and believe that if any man want to be successful in life then always respect women. .whether she is your daughter mother sister or wife. ..I salute you madam. You are a great Carpenter

[@jasonmearlon1857]

Man thank y'all so much. My wife and I are wanting to do a whole wall like this and just didn't have the understanding, and helps so much. Thank y'all.

[@0famz]

You guys have such a beautiful connection and you work so nicely together. That's what I enjoy most about watching you and your family!

[@larrybe2900]

Great idea for a knee wall. ......... Kids should be proud of you both.

[@supergirl4011]

Yes they are!

[@radarnj8043]

Projects ... a good way to combat cabin fever? :-) So good to see how you both work together to accomplish goals in life for your family! Thank you for the outdoor views too. I grew up in Anchorage but my Dad pulled us out after the 64 quake. We camped year round and like most Alaskans enjoyed God's country to the fullest.

[@apr2110]

Just finished the video! The doors turned out amazingly! With the trim, it looks like wainscoting! If I ever have the opportunity to do this, I'd put the 1x3s in a large square grid pattern because that's my favorite wainscoting look!

[@stephenboots]

A great solution to a common situation. I think I'll be using this in our attic when I get around to finishing the space!

[@AngelaCoffman]

I love this! We have an A-frame room over the garage with no knee walls. This looks fairly simple to put in, and would change the whole feel of the space for the better...plus storage!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

You could do so much with this! I’d love to see what you guys come up with!

[@eileenallemm1835]

You are a sweet family, I love the beautiful scenery. Just wondering you have three children but in every video there's extra kids and people always around you what a great family you have

[@gotchaz45]

I, too, would need to consider a sliding door or something that would not extend so far into the room. I want to do this for a sloping wall in the loft area of a tiny house. Will consider your barn door idea from your guest room cabinet, I suppose. Few of your projects would work in our space but I love to see your family and the local scenery... It's really what I tune in for along with the inspiration if not the exact project. Your personalities are what really make this fun for me.

[@nancysnider5348]

I like this stylish storage solution. The finished look is very neat and clean.

[@sandieknies9453]

Knee-highs are almost shoulder height. Makes for really nice storage space. Great job!

[@kaycox19]

You two are amazingly creative. Great job, again.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you!

[@rmitch3224]

So...3 years later. I was curious about heavy 3/4in doors hanging on 2x4 studs. Any issues? This is real helpful video to my cabin loft area. Thank you.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

We haven't had any issues, thanks for the visit!

[@solitairesmith3553]

Love the videos of the mountains. Love the videos of your kids growing up in your house. I hope these videos never become a burden because your videos inspire us all:)

[@lynnethebeautifulone4145]

I just love the look of this project. Great job you two

[@tracymcreations]

I love how you incorporate the scenery of your beautiful area into your videos 💜

[@stilcrazychris]

Oh wow! That turned into a great lovely space after you guys did those doors. Just transferred that unusable space to a usable space w/a few pieces of plywood. That was a wonderful ideal. You two come up w/some off the wall stuff & turn them into magic pieces of awesomeness. I'm blowed away. What will you two do next? I'm stay tuned in. See you on the next piece of magic w/the White family. God bless, Chris from Missouri

[@ginapatalud1205]

Thank u for sharing your videos. U inspire us on diy projects!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you and thank you for watching!

[@keithrayeski3147]

Hey, you picked up a new subscriber from this build. It’s a long story but I was trying to brain storm how to finish our knee walls in the future family room over our garage. I had left openings for access but, my wife was not pleased with having to crawl in and try to pull bins and stuff so, I needed a new approach. The hang up for me was still using the live edge hemlock boards I want for the walls. I’ve got an idea how to do it now, building it as doors with concealed hinges so it still LOOKS like a solid wall BUT, it will be individual sections that my wife can easily access without having to crawl in! We’re both 62 so such an act of aerobics, isn’t as simple as it once was!😁 thanks for an idea AND, my wife is a crafter…her craft room is challenging my workshop 🤣 so I’ll be sharing your channel with her for the crafting stuff I see you have! Love the doors!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

That is great, thank you and welcome!

[@misterm7086]

Great use of useless space. Thank you for sharing yet another terrific video. (And I did the notice the hockey stick in the kitchen LOL. Love it!) Be well! -Nick

[@johnsantana4050]

can you add a link to the hinges you used in this project. i did a search but there are way to many options

[@maryblaylock6545]

I was wondering last week how to have a storage area that didn't look like storage. And bless your hearts you shared this with us. Thank you very much!⛺

[@narcolepticmelody]

Did you end up making it?

[@bhadz100]

How did you get the angle for the stud? Is that a 45?

[@sueschultz9358]

Looks great! Grace will love that room. I think we have more snow than you do! Lol. Thanks once again for sharing!

[@siriusintellect]

Ok. I just KNEW I was going to come to this playlist and sing “one week” 😂😂😂 Anywhoo, this is dope! I was JUST measuring a space in the hallway to add shelves. 🙌🏾 Thank you for sharing!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thanks for the visit, so happy to help!

[@siriusintellect]

@@AnaWhiteDIY totally! Someone who commented on my page has your videos saved so this worked out amazingly! Have a great weekend.

[@debdottir]

Looks great. (Your little one is growing so fast!)

[@Poor_Mans_DIY]

Very entertaining video. Clever build for just the cost of 4 sheets of plywood and 10 2X4s. Very nice.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thanks!!!

[@barbaravoneitzen7729]

Enjoyed this video. Wish you made more than one a week.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you!

[@teresaandrews3492]

That is awesome I love how much extra storage it gives! I bet kids will love it for hide and seek lol

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Oh my goodness we can’t keep them out!

[@teresaandrews3492]

😊 I bet my kids love playing hide and seek and they would have a blast with that! 😂 at least you know you two built a very sturdy knee wall 😉

[@apr2110]

So excited to watch! Did you ever figure out how to turn that armchair /twin size bed into a king or queen size option? I love the idea of it!!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Not yet

[@jodollman8136]

Adding this to my saved videos for a future project here in our home. Great job!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you!

[@jpadventures6302]

Have you ever thought of designing a campervan? Vanlife is so popular right now and I'll bet your design would be excellent. Thank you for all the great ideas.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

That would be fun! We did some tiny houses but not a van yet

[@F-J.]

I LOVE parnell walls but I would block off that boiler/ meter thing and I would definitely do the flooring inside that. A lovely secret hideaway. The 🐈 house.

[@MoltenSamurai]

This is a really nice execution of an interesting idea

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thanks for watching!

[@Diegojuarez1987]

Love you’ll videos! Keep the great work!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you!

[@kathyvelasquez3682]

Good man..I saw you point at your glasses. Love you guys.

[@matiasg97]

It must be gorgeous up there in Alaska. Hopefully one day I could go and visit beautiful Alaska.

[@amyn2944]

I’ve been looking for a solution to cover a ledge above my wall that I use for storage, I think this is it! Thank you!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Excellent!

[@jewdd1989]

Love the use of that space and the solution of the doors to make it functional! Here was my thought watching you build the doors, if a couple doors had either frames with peg board inserted in or drilled your own peg holes into the plywood for her to store her arts and crafts on like a functional storage twist to the solid doors ... maybe excessive but for a later project it’d be neat. It looks like you have a window in that closet? The peg ply doors would allow extra light into the space. Anyways I’m silly and I love the project as it is and am grateful to you for sharing 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@Lexielouwho]

What type of flooring is that. I love the floor. I love your videos. And your kiddos are so cute. You're my favorite woodworking diy couple. You rock

[@hannibalsings73]

Thank you!!! I am going to use your design to make access doors for the attic from our finished upstairs.

[@KennethMcGrath]

I like it. I wonder if you considered sliding doors to conserve the room's footprint. Would that have presented other challenges?

[@daphneel201]

Very cool project always happy to see your projects!

[@Seastorm-nh8cv]

Brilliant! You two are so talented!

[@mlubecke]

Great project!!! Turned out awesome as usual....

[@3jbalderas]

I subscribed to your channel after watching your tiny house video and I just recently came across your plans for the cottage playhouse bed which I’m hoping to make for my daughters room 😍

[@cherylhenson2720]

Most excellent & great team work!

[@jeffreymorin6480]

That is genius and exactly what I need. Thank you!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Great to hear!

[@maehay4065]

What a great idea! And it looks really good too 👍

My grandmother's house had these in two upper rooms. They were awesome hide n seek places when I was five!! 😜🇨🇦♥️

[@tdiaz720]

I have a question, did you guys switch the doors direction, oh am i going crazy. by the way i love the project and i am doing it to my attic space.

[@justynakosieradzka9594]

That storage is amazing!

[@alliejcurtin]

Thank you for this video! SO helpful.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Glad it was helpful!

[@georgea0731]

Great Job! You mentioned 44 inch doors, but not how wide they are? Was there any reason you didn't do 2 doors opening from the middle, pairs?

[@timberwolf0122]

I have a near identical knee wall to put in, I'm totally doing this but adding some shelves ever 2 or 3 doors.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Awesome, would love to see that!

[@boatdesigner12]

Sliding doors work better than hinged ones. Also a bank of draws adds more ways to store items.

[@sherriesthilaire]

Looks awesome, guys! You made me laugh with the rock, paper, scissors!! Love your content!

[@jeanniealford4234]

Love you and your projects. Wish I could paint as fast as you and Jacob. ha

[@Zawjawear]

Exactly what I want to do in my attic. Great job

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Sweet, thanks for the visit!

[@stevehellinga8812]

Saw you guys on TV today on an older episode of building Alaska. Looked like a very different building than your in now?

[@debbydhill]

The pat on the rump is how that happens Jacob... or how it starts anyway.. :) Great solution, makes me want to rip out the walls and do mine like this!

[@sabermaaroufi3905]

Nice work Ana & Jacob Thanks for sharing the video.👍😎JP

[@trishatrisha911]

how did you joint the floors I'm about to do the same thing in my attic, but don't know how to joint the raw floor with the finished floor yikes!

[@johnhenry6515]

Like the way it came out, but initially the doors open from the right and when you're done they open from the left?

[@wjm6749]

Your videos always inspire me. Not to get off subject of video, but I love the flooring you have used. What type is it and where can it be bought?

[@mecdiana9241]

I didn't understand the rock paper scissors part... Please explain what that was about

[@huakaneohana]

What size is that loft space and what angle is that slope?if you don't mind asking,I'm in design stage of a very similar setup and found you video extremely helpful. Mahalo from hawaii.

[@wpsa100]

Great job!!!! 👍👍👍

[@chowe9]

Team work at its finest!

[@doityourselfer3722]

Can you tell me what exact hinges you used for the doors?

[@jpersonette11]

Ana - congrats on your success and everything you do. Heres hoping you and the family are feeling safe and healthy during this time. Quick question, have you ever done a video on building something similar as "eaves storage" but rather each section of this storage space would come straight out toward you either on heavy duty drawer glides or casters of some sort. We are in the process of converting a very small attic and framing closet space in the room just eats up too much real estate. Going to build something similar to you and your husband but feel we need to have each opening slide towards you with a hanging bar in each given it's the only closet storage in the space. We are troubleshooting via how to do so...and even though you always see pics of it online....you never quite get to see what was done or how it was built. Anyhow, we just found your channel and so I thought I would toss the question out to you. Again, its similar to your space except maybe a lower ceiling and your storage space is taller than what we can do. The goal is for us to lay a bottom plate at around 50" so that a rod could sit down around 42" and slide out. Even if our depth of these pull out drawers is only 24"...we have 12' to be able to use all the space for it. Anyhow, any thoughts, specific details, how to build or lay the track or another outside the box idea...would be great. If not, continued success and please stay safe out there. Happy Holidays to all of you. Jp

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

If you could email some inspiration pictures to [e-mail] I can have a better idea of what you are referring to exactly and see if we have any plans that may help!:)

[@georgegagnon4566]

Ana, did you reverse the doors after you hung them? Or is this a picture of the opposite side?

[@Bashyman]

Great video, am using it as a guide for similar cupboards in my loft eave space. What was the White spacer called that you used on the top of the cabinets to hide the gap? Didn't catch the name

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

That is just a trim piece.

[@ek9772]

While watching this video I got an idea. Take off some of the knee wall doors off, and build drawers with the back of the drawer following the slope of the attic ceiling. In this way Grace will have a lot of drawer space which makes it easier to access the space behind the knee wall doors.

[@thomasmccarty09]

that's so neat the fire,the candles outside I like to do something similar to that n I don't know if that was gazebo but it all looks good in the dark outside it looks like it's warming up now enjoyed the video big time ♡ Love the way you work together ♡ are those other children cousins ?your baby looks so cute . Aewsome:) El Paso,Tx.♡

[@Dricaoliva10]

You are amazing! love your work!!!

[@chowe9]

I'd love to do that! But my wall has studs there and I assumed they are load bearing so I don't think I should remove them!

[@stowesuz]

Are you putting door pulls on it or do you have to grab the doors with the edge of your finger? I want to do something similar but full length and I’d like to use push poll hardware on it so that there aren’t any exposed handles or door pulls. What do you suggest?

[@stowesuz]

Oh, sorry, I missed that the 1x3s were the handles.

[@lestariabadi]

4:46 - 5:04 what’s that? Leaking?

[@tobygolding1893]

They had hinges on my left opened from my right in the end they opened opposite way ?

[@crazycroney]

How cool would that have been to have had beadboard as fronts on the doors making it look like a wall? Not exactly her style but would be cute. I don’t have a need for knee walls but if I ever did that’s what I’d do.

[@steverussell6278]

Is it my imagination or did you reverse the hinges so that doors open from the opposite direction than before painting them?

[@itsmecathyw2503]

Love everything you create

[@NoOneHere2Day]

Why does it look black where the top trim piece ends? Does it need to be painted? It's triggering my OCD!

[@HarryLovesRuth]

Glad it's not just me. I wonder if this is one of those "so close" instances. I think she said 16 feet of doors. Trim usually comes in 16 ft. lengths. With it being so close, declaring good enough for now and then planning to fix it later?

[@NoOneHere2Day]

@@HarryLovesRuth Was thinking that too

[@georgegagnon4566]

What are the dimensions of the doors? what is the spacing between the studs? we are getting ready to redo my knee walls from drywall to created more insulated storage space for Christmas item. Thanks, G

[@georgegagnon4566]

Thanks for the response, I would love to send you pictures of my project. I only created 4 doors 48 by 32. I’m not sure exactly what hinges to use. I have the Kreg tool and clamps. I did a trial fit and the doors are fitting inside the opening. So I’m thinking I have the wrong hinges. Home Depot and Lowe’s had way to many to choose from. Thanks again, love all your videos. I did make the miniature bed for dolls and then made a big version for my bed. How do I share pictures with you?

Great project But,, you have to open the door behind the hinge of the door you want to open.??

i like the plain doors....but i know how its not easy to make consistent gaps and the trims will do the trick

[@nhgriff1]

Beautiful! Can't wait to do this!

[@mikereslie3389]

I’m sure you know that the Kreg hinge jig you used has two small holes, one on either side of the hinge hole, specifically there and sized so you can drill pilot holes in correct spot for the screws to hold the hinge in place. I’m just wondering why you didn’t use the them.

[@HarryLovesRuth]

She would have had to take the jig & forstner bit off of the drill she was using to bore the hinge holes.
