Nice work on the studio transformation but fucc all that my G how da fucc can I get an Arm like yours? DAMN !!!

[@KidLondon]

Ok just saw the Fitness channel - sub'd both channels! Stay ready!

[@RoBiEsHoW]

What are the dividers on the small ikea, cabinet? I got the same one and would love to purchase that.

[@funnytrap3309]

share a link for blinds pls!

[@MikeWat]

that feature wall is sick dude, thanks for sharing how you made it and the process of getting it home depot! so much easier than making it from scratch

[@techbymidas]

Thanks my man! Can't deny it was a fun process all the way 🙂

[@homedecore4135]

[@ShadyPanda]

I think an even easier solution is just purchasing a wallpaper that looks like that, which I have seen online through Etsy although I'm not sure it's much more cost-efficient depending on the needed size for someone's space.

[@YuniorGamboa]

Good idea​@@ShadyPanda

[@evasionstudiosco]

What I really appreciate in this vid is the explanation of things considered vs things done - showing the thought process and iteration. Too many times videos like these skip that, but it's a crucial step to learn about how ideas change, and the initial plans don't often survive first contact with the finished product.

[@techbymidas]

Exactly! Well said my man and thanks for watching 🙂

[@ThiagoQuintoMartins]

And, how to do it haha I can't even change a wall outlet, so is nice to see how these stuff are done.

[@welshmouse]

Man, you've somehow captured exactly what I want my office to look like. I can't wait til I own a place and have the freedom to do something like this.

[@NB-Philly]

Love how that all came out! FANTASTIC! its so stylish, and feels like it would clear your mind and let you focus on your work. I plan to follow your example!

[@fluffyduck9153]

Very nice setup. Loved the wall, it sticks out and brings every piece together.

[@Mills_Official]

that closet gaming setup honestly had me in shock at how well it looks and creative it is, well done on that

[@RoRo-bg1qe]

Cable management may be the worst to do, yet the most satisfying! Great work on the wall with LED downlighting. Love your setup.

[@tonyvoeller1427]

The quality of this video is off the charts! So informative, so creative, so well organized (each segment being timestamped was so good), and what an amazing aesthetic! I'm gonna take a look at your other content for sure

[@techbymidas]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)

[@makeitmdrn]

The wall looks amazing! Love the dark, rich color you got out of the wood. We used English Chestnut for ours!

[@techbymidas]

Thank you! English Chestnut is a superb stain color as well and I'm sure it looks amazing too!

[@YuniorGamboa]

That wall is a thing of beauty. Killer setup tour.

[@jay53648]

Yo bro! That mobile b-roll stand/sit desk on wheels WAS GENIUS! You are like me, functionality & mobility are key! Thanks for sharing 💯

[@larrylaffer4304]

wow 🤩 just Wow!! something to be proud of !! looks really really good!

[@SaiiTube]

I love your setup!! Minimal, practical and stylish!!

[@techbymidas]

Thank you! 🙂

[@JESSIECOJC]

I love the room. Very inspired to some day create my own studio as well. Keep going man!🔥

[@KevinLe]

Love how you did your wood slats, man! They looked great! One thing i keep thinking is if you ever did this again, to add 1/2" black acoustic padding under the wood slats so they'd end up being your sound dampening wall too. It would definitely be more expensive but this is still super slick. Great work!

[@FPSWizard]

Dude what a great idea. Save on not buying paint(ish). Do you suggest nail gunning through the dampening too?

[@leandroluque]

Ficou simplesmente sensacional. Tudo ficou harmônico. Parabéns pelo Projeto.

[@razorinstiincz8314]

I really love the simplicity and the fact that you’re explaining everything, really cool and good video, thank you!

[@techbymidas]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching :)

[@whizzbang7520]

It has become a really great place to work and thanks for sharing!

[@NebTek]

Insane because I'm trying to do the same thing right now lol Amazing work on what you did I think it's super well done.

[@AussieSamapa]

Great inspo for my new spare room! Love the wall bro!

[@TairaEldritch]

dang nice man! you picked a good stain for the slats too, It's so fun to mess around with staining to get different looks! The plants also tie everything in and you can never go wrong with plants~

[@Dooku8]

This look minimalistic, and really great, good job

[@erikbalbuena864]

Thank you so much for uploading this!

[@DevilVenom99]

I absolutely love your work man! Commenting on what and why you are doing is very well done! Keep on with the good work!

[@techbymidas]

Much appreciated! :)

[@oodam]

Fantastic video dude! Love the entire room but that feature wall is absolutely perfect.

[@makeitmdrn]

it really did turn out great!

[@stephendallasdraws2929]

Looks sick! Inspiration for my small space!

[@DT.2024]

What a great wall! We will keep building walls and new horizons and make America great again

[@agungkesuma5526]

Good job dude, I appreciate your hard work👍👍👍

[@Nue55]

Thanks for inspiration, brother. Been watching videos for a while, but this one actually activated some imagination in my head.

[@wwardak]

Thank you for the wall inspiration. I am going to do the same wall when I move to my new house.

[@techbymidas]

I'm sure you'll love it!

[@rufakha]

I love how simple and cozy I this place 🥰

[@LajidimusPrime]

Great job! The effort you put into this really paid off.

[@therecycledpirate]

I love the design work with your wooden slap wall, but that must've been a lot of work and patience! Great work and awesome video!

[@techbymidas]

Thank you very much!

[@christiandenton2304]

Absolutely stunning you have inspired me to do my own 🙏👍

[@techbymidas]

Thanks and I think everyone should at some point in life.

[@kjonezxo6092]

Office turned out amazing. Love the mix of dark and light

[@techbymidas]

Thanks!

[@Laycesar]

This is amazing your gonna blow up watch keep up the great work 💯🔥

[@sashayav5061]

That’s really thought out set up. I like the brown wall, and green plant adding color to the office.

[@techbymidas]

Earthy vibes is what I was going for. 🙂

[@BrownToiletIsh]

This is the exact video I wanted to watch

[@DrifterGaming]

Great video, love the timelapses!

[@Sandra.Viewer]

Above and beyond! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼

[@Inmysightstarget]

great to see another Canadian on here and your local in Calgary great room

[@cozee69]

The setup is awesome and you seem like a cool dude! I’m goin for a minimalist manga cafe vibe for my office. Thanks for the inspiration bro

[@mnation6192]

Absolutely nailed it!

[@msimonwi]

Looks great, love the stain color with the black paint.

[@techbymidas]

Thank you! :)

[@Meat__Sweats]

Love the feature wall!

[@gayasslily]

Wow, this looks amazing!!

[@minimalistik]

Good job! Looks great! 👏

[@techbymidas]

Thank you!

[@christopherbogardus4682]

This is an awesome video! I really appreciate putting a caption of the before pictures when you were taking pictures of the layout of the room. To many times people take pictures and give no context for the location and it make me the viewer feel lost. The only thing I would personally change would be using a PC and making the walls another color other than white but this room is stunningly awesome.

[@blurryface9910]

Well done. The plants are a fantastic contrast.

[@techbymidas]

Thanks! I couldn’t agree more

[@intow1shin]

mannnn this is clean!!! i really like it

[@kaiplaygame6808]

This is so satisfying and pleasing to the eye. Great design

[@techbymidas]

Super happy to hear that! 🙂

[@BryanSample33]

First time seeing one of your videos, it was great! And by the way, you are jacked, whatever workout you do, its really working!

[@andrewdejuan4914]

My man is jacked!! Love the office setup bro!

[@PurseyProductions]

Great video! Super room, and that wall is insane!

[@techbymidas]

Thank you! 🙂

[@trungdungmai1615]

So clean !

[@niqvuk]

Great aesthetic to this room

[@ilovedumplings680]

sick setup!! the wood slate design on the wall is fire!!

[@techbymidas]

Thanks! Glad you like it 🙂

[@HondaBoyy69]

literally the best setup i've ever seen.

[@kylecosper6766]

You just got a new subscriber! Love the space man!

[@Featherss]

dude the black wall with the wood on it is seriously amazing

[@fecalfetus7902]

+1 for the Sheikh mailman. You gotta hide the wires for the lighting up in the wall / ceiling though. And you should get some of the rollerblade casters for the chair also

[@escavonfritz]

Amazing bro!

[@LesTutosdeHuito]

great video. thanks. Where did you get your blind from?

[@techbymidas]

Thanks! I purchased it from a brand called budget blinds 🙂

[@homedecore4135]

kzbin.infobfdXPW-rt2I

[@RoRo-bg1qe]

@@techbymidas That blind is legit. I just got similar blinds but not that awesome top to bottom pull for light adjustment. I need to go back to the store.

[@CMC440]

Amazing, Now i know what wall i want to have!!!! thank you for inspiration., i subscribed its my first video i seen of yours!

[@cozyghvst]

[@techbymidas]

[@pedrovieira4313]

That wood slat wall compliments the setup so well! Awesome work man.

[@techbymidas]

Thank you! 🙂

[@muwong408]

I like this, It's the room of my dreams.

[@Bobbobson32]

homie is sliced to the socks. Im sure you're aware, but the fractal design north computer case is a perfect match to your feature wall. I built my new rig in it and it looks great in the black mesh color. This is great inspiration for me as I am also purchasing a new home and want to up my office with a wall like this. Thanks.

[@wowbeatsmusic]

Nice work man, looks awesome!

[@techbymidas]

Thanks a ton!

[@V1N_574]

Dang this looks awesome... I want that wall now... Like I really like that wall and I renovated my home office a couple months ago... Dang it hahaha
