[@marciagranthall3129]

OMG!!! You make this look soooo easy. Thanks for breaking it all down for real diy beginners.

[@memyprojectsi9783]

I tried my best to make this as simple as possible!

[@humafatima9288]

Thanks for making this video..it was a lifesaver..I looked through 100 videos but wasn't satisfied with their instructions. u did a really great job:)

[@memyprojectsi9783]

Thank you! I will try to be more helpful in upcoming videos.

[@christenragland8982]

Question, you said you went every 15.7.. was that the bottom and the angle piece measurement or the top. If both is 15.7 they will be straight across. Thanks great video .

[@iwannaknow430]

Thank you for being so detailed and explaining your thought process throughout!

[@memyprojectsi9783]

I'm so glad I could help you.

[@lynn_A_]

Girl the best video it was straight to the point and fun to watch

[@memyprojectsi9783]

Appreciate you!

[@sarbiegill4343]

[@donnamul4926]

I need you in my home. Amazing. I learned so much. Thank you

[@memyprojectsi9783]

That would be my pleasure! Thank you for the feedback.

[@alangardiner872]

[@marlysblanche4270]

You did a lot of work, nice job!

[@memyprojectsi9783]

Thank you :)

[@Donna-vh5ym]

I know this is a year old, but I just now found you and so happy I did. New subscriber. A wonderful step by step. I need to play catch up with ur videos.

[@memyprojectsi9783]

Thank you so much!! Your comment made my entire weekend.

[@Guruprit5566]

Yeah it’s really worth it this video actually, I like it DIY wall. Love it

[@memyprojectsi9783]

Thank you!

[@ShoresOfHelll]

Thanks for the amazing video. After watching a couple of KZbin videos, this is the design I want to go with. One question though, You didn't minus the width of each MDX from the length of the wall? Wouldn't that slightly mess with the calculation? Thanks.

[@memyprojectsi9783]

Good question. In my head I made sure to measure from the top of the mdf piece. but if you don't account for it, it will certainly mess with the calculation.

[@sunpreetgill9499]

hey so you got the MDF panels or the timber wall trim? I bought the MDF but it looks too thick on the wall. did you cut them in half?

[@memyprojectsi9783]

Please see 0.35 seconds- 45 seconds for the width. Thickness, is generic. But width varies.

[@memyprojectsi9783]

the boards at 25 seconds are recommended.

[@RonnieRoss]

I love the finished look! This is exactly what my wife wants to do in the master bedroom. Please be careful using a miter saw in the way that you did. Boards should be back against the fence to prevent the board from flying across the room.

[@roxanneesp]

Love it! How do you figure measurements on the left side of the initial panel? I get how you got the right side but im confused on the left?? (First panel left side) Please?

[@memyprojectsi9783]

Thank you! And simply "mirror your measurements" on the left side at a 45 degree angle so that the meeting point is 90 degrees.

[@roxanneesp]

Gracias!

Hi, If I have to use different colors like Gold or silver for wood slats only, where the wall color remains dark, how can we paint wood trims and install them with nailing so they should not show nail points?

[@memyprojectsi9783]

I would try no more nails adhesive. But if you would like to use a nail, use a nail gun it will push the nail threw and then dispense your silver/gold spray paint into a small container and use a fine paint brush to dab the paint onto the molding after you use wood glue. This will give you the cleanest look. If I don't make any sense, please let me know I'd be happy to demonstrate a post a video.

[@natashashepperd7069]

Girl I bout had a heartattack when you used the miter saw. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't use it that way. You could get seriously injured. Your miter saw allows the blade to slide forward and back, there is a knob that twists on the back of the saw near the two sliding poles. That will allow the blade to move back so you can use the fence properly, just make sure you twist it tight again so it doesnt slide forward while your using it. It looks good for a DIY though👍

[@memyprojectsi9783]

Appreciate your concern! So glad you didn't have a heart attack. But, I've been using my saw for years. Thankfully, all my fingers are attached.

[@ginabradbury]

Hi there! New here and fellow KZbin friend 💕. Love how this turned out!!! I soooo want to do this to one of my walls. I heard the paint is from Benjamin Moore but what’s the name of the colour? Thanks my friend ☺️

[@memyprojectsi9783]

Thank you Gina! The colour is bucktrout brown.

[@booostedtc]

Awesome job what's this style called its it a big no no to have this and shiplap in same room

[@memyprojectsi9783]

herringone or chevron

[@maywilson7566]

Great job

[@jessop1234567]

I’m running in to the common issue of the boards sitting thicker than my baseboard and crown moulding. can you think of any reason not to go with 1/4” thick boards?

[@memyprojectsi9783]

You can! You can also remove the baseboard and crown molding.

[@treleasefinley8424]

I’m doing one next

[@dcchris-311]

Good job!! But that's definitely more than a $50 project.

[@memyprojectsi9783]

Materials are under $50. Power tools obviously not.

[@ncruncher722]

Please, for the love of your hands and fingers, learn how to properly use that miter saw before you end cutting something you didn’t intend on cutting. Be safe

[@DerekTJ]

You're right to avoid measuring with tape where possible.

[@memyprojectsi9783]

Thank you, I get a lot of hate from the tough guys cause I don't.
