This Accent Wall Has a Secret!

[@cyndij8312]

So cool. Love the effect of the mirror being embedded in the wall.

[@GillDawe]

Suuuuuch an awesome idea! I love that its not just a hidden door for the sake of having one, it's functional and makes so much sense! You need access, but not regularly, and no one else will ever need to know how to open it for their own purposes. Plus, I just LOVE a slat wall. 10/10 Love it.

[@LornaWood-f4l]

Beautiful, Sam! I was very surprised to see that you didn’t build out the wall for hidden storage! That would have required a few more doors, though… 😮 LOL

[@diyhuntress]

Ahaha - don’t worry. I’m actively working on a storage project in the basement next. So, stay tuned! 😉

[@LornaWood-f4l]

@ I’ll be there!

[@xingcat]

It needs to be an all HIDDEN AREAS home gym! Pull up a dumbbell and it calls your secret servant staff to get you a towel, LOL. Looks great!

[@kimpaynter]

Sam I get so excited to watch you work you do it with such ease❤❤❤❤ I love how the angle is when you look by the mirror in the pitch from the ceiling. It looks so cool.

Next time you need to attach a magnet to a door in a tight space -- Attach it to where you want it on the inside. Dot fingernail polish on the magnet and close the door. When you open it up this will show you where the metal plate needs to be attached. Seems to me this came either from DIY Danie or Alexander Gater. Awesome wall by the way. I have seen these panels used on several content creators that I watch and love to see that they are such a hit. Glad to have you back 😍

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I absolutely love this idea, Sam! 🙌 your basement is going to be incredible once your finished with it (let’s be real-it already is!)

[@L.J.H.-sg6eb]

Yayyay!!!@ EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED YOU CREATE! I know, it is a coincidence and I love it!!! You are amazing and do helpful with all your details and full disclosure! Thank you for all you do!!! ❤❤❤🥰💪🐕

[@diyhuntress]

Ahah - we’re on the same wavelength! 🫶

[@suemussatto3543]

Sam....how cool! Beautiful job, as usual😊 I missed you and you're DIY videos. Just know, that anything you do, I consider creative content. You're one of my favorite KZbin people❤

[@maryhart637]

Looks great! I wish the slats covered the entire width of the mirror...but that's a picky wish. Great job!!!

[@diyhuntress]

I hear you! I personally like that they don’t. But, I guess that’s the beauty of DIY projects. We can all design them the way that works for us. And, thank you! 🫶

[@johncbrown26]

Love the way this turned out, and I absolutely love the use of the acoustic panels. But I'm very glad that you made sure people understood that they are *not* cheap, because they are priiiiiiiicey!! But that's in comparison to just 1x2's or plywood strips, which there is a lot more to these panels than just being cool looking wood, the backing is where the higher price point comes into play. They are made for keeping noise levels low, on both sides of the panel, hence the name acoustic panels. Anyway, the project looks great and I can't wait to see what you do next

[@jessicamorales103]

Once again, Sam kicks ass!

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Awesome accent wall Sam! Hidden doors are so FUN! 😮😆🤣

[@diyhuntress]

RIGHT!? Why do I love them so much? Haha.

[@nickreed2028]

Looks great, Sam. I am always envious of how you put up a few finishing touches and pull the whole project together.

[@diyhuntress]

I feel like the actual build process is the fun process for me. Those finishing touches stress me out sometimes. 🤣

Sam I love all the things that you have done to your & brothers place . Inspires me want to do things but I live in a rental. So I really can't do much that's permanent.

[@alee9961]

Happy New Year! Beautiful idea and awesome look! 🤗

[@LearnMakeLive]

[@sandrasantana1503]

you have done a great! awesome job on all the DIY i seen you do..... so don't let anyone tell you different....ss

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you so much!

[@moda78z]

It really looks great, Sam! 😍👍 Oh, I forgot the puppy’s name! He looks so cute in his jacket 😘

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you! It’s Aero. ☺️ He’s in his dog-who-loves-wearing-clothes era and I’m obsessed.

[@scotttovey]

Excellent work Sam. It will be very disappointing when a thief finds your hidden door, opens it and discovers; it's a utility closet, not your hidden Batgirl cave. Bwahahahahaha

[@colleengould9114]

Love these panels.

[@diyhuntress]

Right!? They’re so good!

[@dragonclawcreations4817]

Looks awesome, though if I had to guess I would say the mirror was the hidden door. lol

[@TheWendipiper]

First, I can't believe how much more luxurious your basement room looks (even before it is completed) than any room in my house. Second, I know this isn't a typical kind of question asked of you but......what brand are your jeans and where did you get them? They are so cute :)

[@diyhuntress]

Ahah - our house is so small that I’m just trying to use every square inch of space we have and make it feel like a home. We’re three years in… We’ll get there one day! 😂 My jeans are typically Vans or P&Co!

[@TheWendipiper]

@@diyhuntress Thank you!

[@collarbonesMKII]

Nothing will be heard during the "pupper in a jacket" portion of this video 🤣

[@diyhuntress]

🤣🤣🤣 that’s fair.

[@SamSam-yb3ls]

Aww...look at the pup's crop jacket. Nice job - as ever Chica. Do the slats come in different weights or depths. I'm thinking doing this to a row of closets, but worried about the weight the doors have to carry?

[@diyhuntress]

Isn’t he so cute!? They do! Actually, I just found a company that makes them super lightweight that I’m gonna be using in the van build. So I’ll hopefully be able to share a little bit more about them in a couple months and give a solid review!

[@SamSam-yb3ls]

@@diyhuntress Amazing, ok looking forward to the van build series x

[@randyscrafts8575]

I recommend never using a 40year caulk unless you're working on a temporary project. Go 50year or more. The polymers are better and won't crack in a year. First house I built I did the entire house in DAP Alex Plus 40year. Around a year later it cracked and I had to do it all over. One of those things ya learn when building a house.

[@jatdesign4495]

Just curious, is the door hollow or solid? I have a similar door and I had to fix over the holidays. Just fyi to those who don’t know doors are a pain to fix unless you have help and a lot of shims and levels. Somehow my door still wound up skewed but the hinges are now secured. I now want to do this panel idea for the laundry room.

[@sandravukovic2901]

I thought I heard you're hanging a Jim on your wall for a minute there... 😅 Glad I got it wrong. Great project 😊👍

[@diyhuntress]

🤣

[@thewoodshop69]

Looks good but the mirror looks out of place with the slats stopping in the middle.

[@karenbreslauer2053]

Price of the panels ??

[@diyhuntress]

Depends on the finish, size, and also time of year. I got these on a wild holiday sale. It was like $75 for two 8’ tall panels. Definitely not the cheapest option. But, I’m really happy with how easy it was to do and how it all turned out. 🫶

[@karenbreslauer2053]

????? Why didn’t you panel to the end of the mirror… just curious Looks like you ran out of materials But I do love your wall and especially the secret door ??? Is that a push and release magnet on the door ???

[@diyhuntress]

I just liked the look! And, it’s just a regular magnetic clasp. I linked to the one I used. I can just pull the door open really easily from the slats. ☺️

[@margo_sna3079]

❤️🌹

[@KisameSempai]

it's very nice! but isn't it a cleaning nightmare with all these gaps?

[@diyhuntress]

Nope! I haven’t had to clean or dust the ones in the guestroom either and they’ve been up for over a year!

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

First Comment!!! 🥶🤣👍

[@diyhuntress]

Hiiiiii! 🫶
