you should get 5 million subs all the best

[@JonImperial]

Haha! I wish that bro! Thank you. 🙏🏽☺️

[@itz_yeastic]

oh nice!

[@christiannapier8911]

Loving the use of Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem as a monitor stand.

[@PatriciaMuirMaestroQ]

Jon. You did such a lovely job and so considerate to be careful not to impose your needs and preferences. Obviously, a talent you have developed as an architect.

[@JonImperial]

Thanks, Patricia. I appreciate it. It was a nice collaboration with the wife. ☺️

[@princetruth28]

I gave you a like for the simple fact that you proved that we can make up the look of a setup using stuff we already own. the result was great at the end.

[@JonImperial]

Thank you! I appreciate that. 🙏🏾

[@jimreminga7411]

The dean of the architectural school at Andrews University once called architecture an ‘obligation’. Too often the work is aimed at design awards and recognition as opposed to serving the needs of people and adding to their quality-of-life. Your wife is lucky to have you. Well done.

[@JonImperial]

Thanks, Jim. I got into architecture thinking about designing cool buildings, etc BUT the more years I spent on the profession I have a passion more for improving people’s quality of life. That makes me more excited more than anything. Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽

[@noflightcert]

"This should all be over soon" oh boy were we all wrong. Love the set up!

[@JonImperial]

Yup! 😂 Thanks man! 🙏🏽

[@Chaitanya_sariyal]

your basement look like my dream room

[@gdlywom]

This was very sweet of you to do for your wife. I have the same desk pad brand in dark pink and absolutely love it!

[@JonImperial]

Awesome!! Thank you for watching!

[@abhisheksree9802]

The setup you built for your wife is really amazing. This is my first time visiting your channel felt really good to see the entire process you both went through to create such a beautiful space. Wish you all success for your channel.

[@JonImperial]

Thank you for the kind words. 😊 🙏🏽

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

So I DON'T have to go into bankruptcy to afford a standing desk! 😂 Awesome, this was super helpful! And very sweet of you to build out a cozy space for your wife ❤❤

[@JonImperial]

Glad it was helpful!! 😊 Thanks for watching! 🙏🏾

[@ShadrachsGuitar]

Wow, this is somehow even more impressive since you live in Alaska. I was getting major West coast KZbinr vibes from the start of this vid haha. I would love to see what's life like for an architect in Alaska!

[@JonImperial]

Haha thanks man! ’m hoping to share more of that soon. 😁 I am WAY west coast. 😂

[@ShadrachsGuitar]

@@JonImperial haha looking forward to it!

[@rosatorres6430]

Awwww so sweet you wanted her to be happy in her w@h space as well! Nice makeover simple and functional.

[@JonImperial]

Thank you! ☺️

[@laminage]

Aww, what a great Husband you are to do that. What you did getting rid of all of the extra stuff was a very smart thing. They say that Clutter cuts off energy. It enables her to concentrate and do her work in a more efficient manner.

[@JonImperial]

It makes a big difference for sure! Thanks for watching! 😁

[@laminage]

@@JonImperial You are quite welcome. Both of you stay safe and God Bless.

[@JimmyJohnson-ub4rt]

I know this is 2 years old but for future reference staples has great office chairs for the money. I have one at my work and home offices.

[@Simphome]

very simple, i like it. the table is cool, you can lift up and down.

[@JonImperial]

Thank you! 🙏🏾

[@archiape8888]

MAN I'm an architect too... I'm loving you already I need more inspiration from you!! cus all I see are gamers, content creators and streamers videos

[@JonImperial]

Thanks man! 👊🏾

[@207archive]

Just started a home-based job & planning to invest on a better home office set-up. Your videos are really inspiring and helpful!

[@JonImperial]

Thanks, Ramiel! You can do it!

[@Joan6856]

I really like your minimalistic decorations that you go for, and I saw your stainless steel Apple Watch and I really loved how it looks. Nice talents. Thanks for inspiring me to decorate better.

[@JonImperial]

Thank you so much!

[@fzakwan]

Simple, functional, and with realistic budget. Great video! 👍🏼

[@JonImperial]

Thank you! That’s what we were going for! ☺️

[@diyanahabdullah6535]

Love how you treat your wife!

[@pyroisacooldude]

I would highly recommend the HÅG capisco chair. It can be had for much cheaper in the plastic version which is still extremely comfortable. Herman miller aeron chairs can also be picked up for a good price if you buy them used.

[@JonImperial]

Super interesting! Thank you! I'll check them out! 😊

[@PikoCases]

I like the world map 👍

[@user-yl9ck9ob5t]

The workpro 12000 office chair is awesome for anyone with back problems. I’m 6’3 240

[@JonImperial]

I’ll have to check it out!

[@enjoyyok]

Well done. I watch you first time and watching x 3 times already👍😊

[@JonImperial]

Thank you! 🙏🏾 I appreciate that.

[@trailerparksupervisor7046]

Thank you for giving my cousin such a nice office

[@michaelvidal6561]

For the chair recommendation you asked us for, check out the Staple's Hyken!

[@JonImperial]

Hey Michael! That actually looks really good! You have one?

[@G0LDENWAFFLE]

Love the systematic theology textbook

[@АндрейБыстров-д8н]

[@JonImperial]

Thanks, Michael! Hahaha that wasn’t scripted btw. That was pure sorrow caught on video. 😂

[@SpawnPoiint]

Awesome transformation!

[@JonImperial]

Thanks, SpawnPoiint!! It was a nice surprise seeing your comment. Love your channel!

Pressed play. Pressed pause at 0:08 and hit that like button!! While trying to figure out what to do next with my desk, I currently have my monitor sitting on top of that same Systematic Theology book!! LOL Small world!

[@JonImperial]

Crazy!! Thanks man! I appreciate that! 🙌🏽

[@ashleychong1673]

Great cost effective set up - and I hope your wife likes it!

[@JonImperial]

Thank you! She does like it! :)

[@florider_hd]

a very good chair, especially for tall people is the nitro concepts s100

[@JonImperial]

I’ll check it out! Thanks!

[@GrowWithWill]

Upgrading my home office. Helpful video!

[@JonImperial]

Thanks, Will! I’m planning on creating a series on “how to design your space”. Is that something you’d be interested in? 😊

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

Nice desk setup! Plus you did a good job on getting the cost down.

[@JonImperial]

Thank you!! I appreciate it. We really didn’t want to spend too much. And it’s so easy to spend so we wanted to be intentional.

[@aowa9727]

3:09 Bro, my standing desk ( very similar ) cost me 1 141 dollars , damn i hate living on an island

Suggestion for chair: staples flexmesh hyken chair, this chair is super comfortable and extremely worth for its $299 cad price

[@JonImperial]

I have to check that out. You’re like the 3rd person who suggested it. ☺️ Thanks.

🙌🏽 thanks for watching!

[@alphabanks]

This was an amazing build also it was affordable I see to many youtubers building $2000 plus home offices.

[@JonImperial]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 😁 To be fair, most people build their setups overtime. So overall cost, does not mean they spent it all at the same time.

[@chiekawaii]

Herman miller aeron did the trick for me. Yes, pricey. But I'm thinking of it as a capital expenditure for my spine health and comfort while working for home

[@JonImperial]

I really need to check it out! Did you get it brand new? 😊

[@danes96]

You can check out the Herman Miller Sayl chair as well. Not as pricey as the Aeron but it’s a decent chair for long hours of sitting.

[@amielona1229]

what paint color you use in your room?

Do you recommend the systhematic theology by Wayne Grudem? I saw it in your video, and I have been wanting to buy it for a while now! Awesome video btw, keep up the work!

[@JonImperial]

Thank you! Yes, he definitely has good stuff there. I read it with a group and it’s always nice to discuss with people. He has a podcast posted where he is teaching in class and that was helpful too!

[@camtono]

So they are selling the actual desk legs only without a table top?

[@JonImperial]

Not sure now but they were gonna start selling table tops too I believe.

[@amazingvideos8884]

Please give specifications of that computer system

[@kingdomculture5743]

Hey - Systematic Theology!

[@igalanga]

Ang ganda!!

[@mkflavvideo]

hows the table top doing after few months ?

[@JonImperial]

Good! It's pretty durable.

[@marcokormanik9945]

great video

[@JonImperial]

Thanks, Marco!

[@Jayantgosain]

The moment you added Electric Desk, it's no more Budget Setup. But its cool to have one 😁

[@JonImperial]

“Budget” is relative. 😉 I saved close to $400. I would say it’s a budget option for me. And I think for some people as well. You can easily buy a different base if you really want to.

[@sanjeevchippalkatti5586]

Loved it ❤️

[@JonImperial]

Thank you!

[@bogdan3lul]

Great video, it's a big transformation from the old working space. The peripherals might need an upgrade in the near future :)

[@JonImperial]

MAYBE. Jk. Haha. I practice what I preach. For sure we'll upgrade it. It's just a matter of time. :)

[@GlennboiPhotography]

I came across your channel last night and I like how your office setup was transformed. I was also working from home since 5 years ago and I am thinking of a transformation of my traditional bedroom office to more like bedroom/office/editing/gaming kind of like! :) I've been watching few contents about the same and one thing I like from your setup is simple and not fancy and of course cheaper items. I am working in IT, a born and raised in the Philippines move here last 2015 and now currently based here in North Carolina. I am also into Photography since 2005 and now into mountain biking and learning to edit some videos. By the way, do you still have the coupon for the Standing Desk Frame? I would like the one that you are using, I think it's model AIM02E001 - $299.99. Thanks and I am your new subscribers and followers. Ingat!

[@JonImperial]

That’s awesome. I was born in the US but I was raised in the Philippines. Unfortunately, I don’t have the coupon code anymore. I still think it’s cheaper than most options out there.

[@roberttorres15]

Thanks sou much, this gives me inspiration!

[@JonImperial]

Awesome! I'm glad to heart that. 😊

[@dja9900]

When your wife moves into the spare bedroom there is still hope. When she moves in with her friend Jeremy from her yoga class, you are in trouble. Trust me I have been there. Give her that cozy, productivity encouraging space. You don't wanna come home to her and Jeremy getting their downward dog on in the guest bedroom. While her body might appreciate that more than a Herman Miller I am sure yours will not.
