[@Mijah1016]

It’s so beautiful! I love everything about it, including the paint color. Amazing job!

[@mamabear7243]

It was so light and bright when it was white it made me nervous when you started painting it dark! I still prefer the lighter but it’s stunning. Awesome work.

[@Mijah1016]

It’s a beautiful green and moody. I love it and sick of white furniture. 😅

[@margaretcrews8309]

Absolutely stunning and moody for a masculine office you nail it Literally and figuratively

[@ronsoldano]

I took a nap and woke up and you were still working on the office😅

[@archedmanor]

lol 😂

[@leannamiddlebrooks3416]

This is perfection. Those are my dream floors and I love gold hardware versus silver! The room is so warm and inviting.

[@bmeach4940]

Great job 👏 One trick I like to do when sanding is to put a 20 x 20 inch air filter to the intake side of a cheap 20-inch box fan. Just let it run (especially overnight), and it really helps keep the air clean.

[@archedmanor]

Great tip!

[@cindiberry5642]

Beautiful! What an amazing job

[@stefhill8454]

This was a great detailed video. Love the color of your office! What time can we get started at my office?! Kidding, not kidding!!!👀🤣

[@cooky75015]

Fascinated by the way you protected the floor and ceiling. So meticulous. Beautiful job

[@archedmanor]

Thank you so much!!! Tarping the ceiling is never fun, but essential to keep that bright white crisp.

[@lkenady52]

Stunning, beautiful and an amazing build!!!

[@saidaswift9531]

This made my heart happy. Beautiful craftsmanship, design and layout....all is well with my soul (lol).😊

[@annbrady6212]

Great job. The cabinets are awesome but those windows omg! Love them. Would have liked to see the windows left white for a contrast.

[@archedmanor]

Thank you very much! 👍

[@jessicapinto3817]

This is beauuutiful

[@archedmanor]

Thank you!!!

[@BeautybyAmyNacach]

Great job! I'd love the place and think you did a pretty good job even thought I don't like the color you chose. One suggestion: when you record with your cell phone make sure is in the horizontal /landscape position so you get a bigger size of the screen so when we watch your videos we could appreciate the video instead of the 2 black side panels all the time

[@heidim6468]

Love the new color so much better and could you let us know what color you used and the maker of the paint?????

[@etsui9899]

Wow, excellent work😊

[@archedmanor]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Nemo0610]

This build was absolutely beautiful, I would love to be able to build something like this. I can only imaging the rest of the house lol.

[@archedmanor]

Thank you! You could totally do it! We even sell a guide with instructions. 👍

[@canonymous8035]

Really nice work

[@archedmanor]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jacquelynnacopoulos1278]

Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏Excellent. You did a Great Job. It is amazing. I am impressed.

[@archedmanor]

Thank you very much!!!

[@carolkhumalo8222]

What cilour is that paint pliiiiiiiz im inlove. Been contemplating painting walls, trim, doors all same colour and you jus convinced me to do it. Love love loooooove. Dark and moody office is my fav 👌

[@rubendlove]

I love your videos. Dr Evil

[@archedmanor]

Thank you!

[@AishaStitt]

I'm commenting as someone who just got super-inspired. You answered all questions to a "T" within the blog page. Your space looks amazing. cliqStudios is in Georgia near me. I am building a murphy bed, in my office within a bookcase builtin with a desk that swivels in an out on an "L". I have been extremely nervous to start with the bed, because of choosing plywood types and etc. Your detailed video gave me the kick-start I needed, I will be using butcher block for the counters, but want the wood look. Thank you again.

[@archedmanor]

Love this! Glad it inspired you - good luck with your project!!!

[@dcg590]

Can you link the drawer pulls? Stunning!

[@sarahrogers1257]

Love love love, looking for the color but didn't see it listed, can you tell me what you used

[@archedmanor]

Thank you! It's Roycroft Bronze Green. :)

[@richardspeidel]

Great build! really came out nice. What kind of moulding/trim is that at 13:34 to about 13:47? I want something similar for a board and batten wall I am going to install and can't figure out what kind of moulding that is.

[@samkimmins]

An observation on removing the skirting board (baseboard) in the US and UK: In US videos it comes of cleanly leaving a neat looking timber stud wall…. Whereas in the UK it rips out with he’s effort, bringing with it big chunks of plaster and masonry, leaving a filthy uneven mess of 100 years of brick, plaster and random nails 😂

[@toppcatt5113]

Love it. I cant tell is the color is gray or green or a dark teal.

[@ObsessionAddicted]

Amazing job. Where can I find those horizontal single gang lights?!?!

[@jessicaehirsch9557]

Gorgeous! Thanks for all the tips!!

[@archedmanor]

Thank you - you are so welcome!

[@bradsykes2700]

Beautiful job! Cabinets look amazing. Where did you find flush mount cabinets pre-made, or did you have them custom built for the space? Also, where did you find the library lights and the chandelier?

[@archedmanor]

Thank you! Please check the blog post (link in the description) for the products (at the bottom there is a carousel of products). The cabinets are from CliqStudios and they came assembled. :)

[@lexii2008x]

Where is the Hardware on the cabinets from? Beautiful work

[@TrevorVaubel]

9x16 30minute video is something else

[@archedmanor]

😂👍

[@maxerpelding-bm3yz]

Love the look! How did you fasten the bookcases to the wall so they don’t topple over? Are they fastened to the wood countertops at all?

[@archedmanor]

Thanks!!! The bookcases are glued to the countertop and secured to the side walls (into studs) and also at the top (there is blocking that these are screwed into). These puppies are not going ANYWHERE. :)

[@nickbailey202]

34 minutes of vertical video? Come on man. The beautiful result made it worth the effort. I'll let it slide just this once.

[@EilandMeisje85]

Is that the RH desk? My husband loves that one when we saw it when we bought our couch from there, but I’m going to build it for him instead.

[@KayRis7]

would like to see the video in landscape orientation....

[@justinandjessdesigns]

How do you shim the back right corners of the cabinets?

[@VinceM797]

How tall are the base cabinets? 30"? I considered a kitchen cabinet for the base but it might be too high. Yours look great.

[@aggypoo7921]

I love it.could u please tell me what color and what brend u use.i love it so much.i think I gona paint my dresser this color.

[@debbiefinney5004]

Hi! Love your work. Where did you get the rug?

[@archedmanor]

Here you go! rstyle.me/+RoHwruB6FbVGym27-1W-eA

[@stephenreddin]

How did you connect the lights? I never saw electrics wired to the top

[@ql1315]

Love 😂it. How much?

[@funnyharleyman]

What make of laser did you use? I’ve heard the green light is easier to see in lighted conditions? Thanks, Garry.

[@archedmanor]

Yes, the green is pretty easy to see. Love my laser level - here is the link: tinyurl.com/4yw29d8a

[@sarahgiles1057]

What primer did you use? And what kind of paint? Was it an enamel?

[@ChaseStobbe]

what is the paint if anyone knows?

[@courtneyleinen4178]

Where did you get these cabinets?

[@bernandapresendieu]

Where is your ceiling medallion from and what size

[@tinaseta1211]

where did you get that artwork?

[@yaudtube]

Building the boxes were too much ... instead, cut the same depth of a bunch of 2x4 blocks will do the trick.

[@Spacereform3]

Buy why close the top off like that? It could have been a flip-hinge situation for more storage!

[@4Kisha80]

Absolutely fabulous. Just wondering with a decent size room along with plenty of natural light why didn’t you paint the ceiling a similar/same color as the cabinets and walls?

[@archedmanor]

There is something about a white ceiling in a dark room that makes it feel lighter. We love it! :)

[@connorplunkett3651]

Where did you get the base cabinets from?

[@archedmanor]

Hi Connor - these are from CliqStudios. 👍

[@robertrockwell7581]

love the color. the white was too sterile.

[@gramsthebuilder5388]

What is the color ?

[@chandracox6814]

Pls get a mic. I had to turn my volume way up to hear you and then the music would come on outta no where and it was deafening.

[@archedmanor]

Oh no! Sorry about that - appreciate the feedback and we will correct this on future videos. :)

[@user-wv7zj6yc4k]

Get a hearing aid. There’s always gotta be a complainer in the group and that’s clearly you. It was a great video and the sound quality was fine. Stop complaining and enjoy the video.

[@richardkurtz9661]

Color?
