- The interweb is littered with images of beautiful bookshelves, but they’re certainly out of reach for the average DIYer, right?
"We’ll see about that!” says Daniel, with a semi-confident smirk.

I vote #4 love all your wall video!
Lowe's Home Improvement #4 please! 😁
Lowe's Home Improvement # 4 . Would love to see this on a wall.
#4 would look amazing
I say 3!
I really wish this series still existed. Entertaining and inspiring. I miss it. Lowe’s, please bring it back!
Agreed! With the same host, he's a blast!
number 4, been wanting to try this ourselves but would rather see you do it instead :)
To learn from my mistakes, I presume? Much obliged 😂
ThreadBanger "it's threadbanger!?!? " maybe you guys can be sponsored by lowes?
That'll be a disaster! ...or would it? :D
ThreadBanger weird. I was thinking a few minutes ago how I wish you and Rob did more diy's like this lol I think I'd feel better watchin yall do shit like this bc you keep it 100%
He is very entertaining, lol
ATTENTION VOTERS: I gotta get to work on the next design, so the voting period will officially end on Wednesday, 8/16 at exactly 8:16pm EST (just because). It's a close race so far, so get your votes in & make sure your voice is heard!
Lowe's Home Improvement when will younbe back?
I saw this as a commercial. I love the long form tutorial format. I really felt like I wasn't wasting my time watching a 6 minute advertisement. The production was informative, entertaining, and mentioned Lowes just often enough to reinforce your brand. Kudos!
Man, your work cant be described in words. If there is something more than excellence, that is what it is. Please do 1 or 3.
Man, I appreciate that. Glad you're enjoying it, Ashraf!
Lowe's Home Improvement
I will be longing to see your next project
Very intrigued by #4, so that gets my vote. This project turned out so cool!!!! Seeing if I can adapt it for my rental since every little nail/screw in the wall is something I'd need to fix later
This one is a liiiittle more renter friendly, since once the frame is secure, you're really not installing anything else into the drywall. If you do end up trying it, I recommend leaving any screws or pocket holes unfilled so that you can unscrew them easily later (vs. ripping them out of the wall). Just hide them with books 😉
Love it. Thanks for demonstrating how easy this project was.
I plan to build bookshelves with doors and a Murphy bed in my extra room. This room will be my guest room/office. I would like to see you create something to that effect. Thanks
Ahh, Murphy beds are just so cool. I think this design would accommodate one quite nicely!
I REALLY love this series. Exactly what I'm looking for. I love your energy, and I love how fun the videos are. The editing and production is great as well. Concise, informative and fun. A++
Appreciate the feedback, Michael. Glad you're into it!
If anyone plans on filling the shelves with books be prepared for the pine to bow under the weight. Two easy things you can do: One is to flip the shelves over and let them bend back. Seriously. Or use the same face frame material to trim the front of each shelf which will also help reinforce it (but you can't flip it). This will help but it's best to not overload pine and keep these shelves more open. Nice, simple project, Daniel; well done.
Maybe reducing the shelf length to 20” would fix this? The point of building a floor to ceiling bookcase is to hold a wall-full of books, after all. Next it needs a rolling ladder.
1 or 3 I can't decide...
I love the result in this video and the idea to just leave some space for a small table. Sometimes it can be so easy to create something so cool.
Yeah, the removable shelves add lots of customizability. You could put a cozy little reading chair in the corner, a flat screen TV in the center, a little coffee bar somewhere...tons of options!
Wow, I love your enthusiasm. I like these bookshelves. The lights and the small desk are great added features. I pick # 1 but truly like them all.
All 4 options look fantastic, but I think I would love to see #3 as I have always wanted to do something like that in my dining room. And I'm definitely bookmarking this one for a potential future library
Sounds great, Chris!
Awesome build. Gave me great inspiration for adding one in our home.
I'd love to see project #3, as it's another thing we're considering in our home. Although all of them are quite interesting and creative.
Awesome. Feel free to come back on here with questions, as I'll do my best to answer. I actually tried this design initially for my son's bookshelf this past winter, so I have a little real world experience with it and would be happy to help you get it done!
2! 2! 2! I love making string art pieces as they're quick and super easy to change out when I'm feeling a design change, so I would LOVE to see how that can be translated into an entire wall!
I’ve never seen a floating shelf made this way, I love it! Thank you for all the woodworking tips, great for beginners like me. 2:54
OMG, I been putting off building a book shelf until I saw this. This is what I am going to build. Wow. I wish I saw this video years ago.
Do it, Manuel! Then come back and tell me how it turned out!!
I would love to see number 1 or number 3. A friend is redoing a 1909 mansion and we're looking at paneling like #3 for the library. It would be really helpful to us. Please and thank you. ☺️ I find your videos both educational and amusing. You do a great job.
Thank you so much, Ali. I'm enjoying making them for you guys.
Love the rich green color! Fabulous. Nice touch adding the desk.
I love every single one of these wall videos! Each wall is unique, interesting, fun, and incredibly beautiful!! I'd like to see #3 next but I also think the string wall would be super cool. Can't wait to see the next one!!!
Glad you're enjoying them, Arabelly! I'm almost done with #005, so stay tuned...
Ultimately I would like to see all 4 designs eventually, but for now I'd be most interested in number 1 with the 3D cubes.
Also, great video!
You got it...thanks Maikel!
I can't wait to try the bookshelf.
And I would go with #1
Let me know how it goes when you do, Thaddeus!
I didn't think I would like the bookshelf idea but I ended up really liking it especially with the accent lighting. My vote for the next one is number 4. Love the series and I hope it continues!
You make building a book shelf easy, so many ideas. I think option 4 would be awesome.
I really want the 3D cubes so choice 1 is my vote:) Awesome project.
Actually, can you also show wainscoting or a really cool effect using multiple paint choices to do an updated look on an accent wall? Like I really liked adding in all the texture but I am talking about a tiny room that uses an accent wall color but doesn't make space seem smaller.
This is what I'm looking for! We have a wall I want this on but will add cabinet doors to bottom third so we can "hide" stuff and will leave a space in the center large enough to mount our TV in. :-)
I think that'll look fantastic, Deborah! Love the TV integration idea for this design.
#4! Though id love to see all of them, really!! Love all these projects so far- keep up the good work and enthusiastic videos!
Omg this book shelf is amazing and I would love to see the third one done on the next video or the 4th one. Shooy just do them all
# 2 as entire wall would be interesting to see. I can't say that I've ever seen anything like that done before. There are already plenty of videos about #'s 3 and 4 so I say jump on # 2 before someone else gets to it first!
Ha! I like the way you think, Paul 🤔
Never seen option #2, would love to see you try it.
Yeah, I think that one's definitely the most 'unsaturated'. We'll see. I think there's some unique approaches we could take on all of them.
Would like to see #3 done Thanks . Love your built in book shelfs !
I’ve watched so many videos on how to do this and yours is the only one that helped me! I actually feel like I can do this now, thank you!
That makes me so happy to hear, Elizabeth 😊 Good luck!!
#1 definitely
if you used a peg board you can use it as a guide to drill holes for the shelf peg holes
Great tip, Donnie 👌
+Lowe's Home Improvement glad I could help a peg board is cheap & can be reused on several projects you just rip it down to the size you need mark the holes you want to drill through drill one side move it to the other side & repeat should all line up since your peg board is cut at the same length & the holes are drilled out in the same place hope this helps
Donnie Haymon ~ What a great idea! Thank you for sharing it.
Wow! That looks GREAT! You made it look so easy... I really like the light feature and mini desk w/stool!
Appreciate it, Leann! The desk was a true last-minute decision 😂
Love it so much!! Such a great statement wall also. Saving it for my dream home. Also i vote no. 4 since it looks the trickiest to tackle.
Can we get a renter friendly option? Can't have too many large holes in the wall.
I've got an idea, Natasha 😏 Stay tuned!
I loved the book shelf wall. Would it be possible to add glass doors on this bookshelf?My husband is a comic book collector and freaks out them getting dusty, so the doors would prevent it.
Oh, what a great question! So short answer is YES, could be done for sure. I'd have to think through how you'd structure it differently to accommodate the glass. The way I did it, the shelves aren't actually fixed in place so that you could reconfigure. With the glass, though, I'm thinking you'd want those shelves to be fixed? A fun challenge!
I was wondering if the structure, as you did, would be strong enough to hold the doors. I'd make a wooden frame for the doors. I don't need the shelves to be fixed, would they have to be?
#4 looks really cool.
You know, since you'd be making the cabinet doors yourself, I wonder if you could just install the door hinges directly onto the columns? Then you could fit the shelves in there with the regular shelf pin method, but the cabinet doors wouldn't even be attached to the shelves (except maybe the little magnetic door closer strips). If you try this, PLEASE come back and tell me about it! Cool idea.
I loved the built- in book shelf...as well as the other three wall ideas. I think I would love to see #2
So happy I found your channel. These Wall experiments are great.
So glad you're here, +swissglobetrotter!
You're really the Wall Man, Daniel. I'm binge watching all your videos and love them all. Cheers from the Philippines 🇵🇭
I'm interested in seeing the contrast in the first option.
Me too!
#! But all the ideas are good too! My second vote for is #4!
Your first vote is a mystery, Heidi 👆 It could be the deciding vote, so I wanna get it right!
1111111111111111111111111111!
Ahhh, well that's a bit clearer 👌
The bookshelves turned out great! Good idea on the lighting too! We vote for #3 next, the classic trim..
This is the exact design I’m looking to build in my living room. Scrolled forever online looking for a tutorial that didn’t involve an IKEA hack or inaccessible tools. Thanks for sharing!
That's fortunately my favorite wall that you've done. The little take at the end... Mind blown! I think # 3 would be cool, especially if you do some bright & unexpected color washes.
I meant Number 4!
Haha, I got you Ariel! #4 it is ✔
1 or 4 or 3 or all of them
Wow! I'm just about to build shelves in a reading nook inset in our new house. They will be about 6 feet from the ceiling, leaving 3 feet for a padded bench and pillows at the bottom. So this video was just what I needed. My shelves will be wider than 7.5 inches to hold larger books and I'm considering building them from stair treads and I'd like the rounded edge on the front of the shelves.. I really hadn't decided how I could do the lighting, so I really appreciate your suggestion. Hopefully I can figure out how to install the cute on-off switch you used.It's such a great idea! Thanks so, so much for this video!
Great video - love the classic look! And #3 please!
#4! Can one of them be a door knob to a secret room?
Ohhh yeah. Or maybe I'll just install a dummy knob & see how long it takes for guests to figure out there's NOT a secret room...
Great video
That pocket hole jig made me so excited!!! I get thr same feeling when I find the perfect dress in the department store. So strange -I love tools and I'm Learning to build my stash of tools and gotta add this tool. Goals 🔨🔧📐🔩🏃 how much did all this wood cost 🤔😕
I know what you mean! Except maybe for a new pair of shoes or jeans 😂 Yeah, a pocket hole jig is truly a game-changer. I got one a year or so ago and I've used it on almost every personal project since. So, just tallied up my receipts...the wood I used here cost a total of $186 for the whole thing. Not bad at all!
Lowe's Home Improvement good deal! Tfs
Love it, finally a video I can understand to go ahead and make the built in at home.
I love all these wall videos, please do 3 & 4 I have been wanting to try both in my home and you break these down so well I feel confident I can really create it 👍
Thanks Melissa...you CAN really do it 💪
Please do the 4th design
Do all of them
So a quarter vote for each then, Tyler?
Love 💚 this!! My vote is the trim #3 been thinking about doing something like that so would love to see how easy you can make it for us!!
Love it. Best built in tutorial yet. Thank you!
Number 2 but in the design of number 1...is that possible?
Whoa now! I like that!
Idea for a future video? I'm about to get my fist apartment in college and want a super cool wall in it, but since I'm renting I don't want to do too much damage to the actual wall. Any ideas for low-damage designs that can be removed in a year or two?
Hearing this feedback quite a bit from you guys...I'm working on some ideas 🤔

Can we go mdmdjekrp
4 would be cool. Different stains sounds fun too. 2 also sounds like a fun challenge for an entire wall. Look forward to your next video!
1 or 4 would be really cool to see!
I loved how customisable this build was, you could remove some shelves to put a bed or desk in 😮
Oh totally! I actually made a similar one for my son this past winter that his bed fits into 👌
Seems less thinks #4 is cool so that's my choice!!
Haha, rooting for the underdog, eh? Thanks Craig.
Do a mix of 1 and 3. Old classic design with a new 3d effect to it.
Ooh, I like it, Dean. Some of you guys are kinda coloring outside the lines on this thing, but I like the creativity! I'm gonna mark you down as 3, though, since it'd still be primarily a trim-based project.
I'd like to see them all - but the wood slice wall first, then #1, #2 and, finally, #4. Thanks for the ideas!!!
wall # 3 should be next .... just because I've thinking about doing that. but all should be fun to tackle or see you tackle rather tnx for sharing your work and knowledge
Yaaay!!! New epiaode!! Missed you man please keep this series going
Well, I'm on the hook for AT LEAST one more episode now, I guess! Thanks man. Glad you're digging it.
1. Just want to see you suffer thru that design. It'll look epic
Cruelty!! 😆
I'm laying here at 6am on a Saturday binge watching you. I'm left amazed by your creativity. I may try to convince my husband that your terracotta wall design can be used to create ocean waves as we have a beach home in FL. Or I will look for a large canvas to create a similar look with a less permanent solution. I was amazed by the time you took to paint a gazillion wood slices when you could have spray painted them before hand. And this tutorial is genius. Cannot wait to watch the other episodes you have created. I'm glad we own a miter saw, a nail gun and a ton of other tools because you are giving me inspiration! Thank you!
Haha, that's great to hear, Mellissa!! I love the ocean waves idea. Somebody also had the thought of doing an ombré color technique with that design, to simulate the water depth.
ONE! Love your videos. Hope you do lots more.
3!
3
What an awesome project. I have 4 cheap book shelves that are about to fall apart (literally). I am going to save this video and do this project for my office/guest bedroom. Thanks so much for making it understandable and simple. I will post pictures when I am finished. After my wife goes away for a weekend. Shhhh
That's awesome, Sean. Let me know how it goes!!
3! I've always wanted to see how that look is done. Please do 3!
so, this guy has a personal channel also or what? asking for a friend
Only here for now, Xantiago 😉
I am really starting to get in LOVE with these videos!!!!!
This is awesome! I personally wouldn't have painted the drywall and bookcase the same color, but it still looks amazing! Will have to try making this sometime.
I hear you. I wanted it to feel cohesive and truly 'built-in', but keeping contrast there could look cool, too. Come back and tell me if you end up trying it!
#4
Where are you gone man? I don’t see any new videos for a year now and I miss miss miss your projects. Your work is the best I have seen on TH-cam and Pinterest because you make it doable for amateurs. Please come up with new projects
Id love to see them all, but really intrigued by #4
Let's see number three, like if you agree!
Beautiful and surprisingly simple design! Thank you!
The added lighting was a nice touch to make this look rich.
Great bookshelf build. What I really love though is that you did it without a truck load of tools. I've watched so many bookcase builds (getting ready to do a whole wall in a new home) that start with: "First I used my jointer...then my planer...then... " and so on. I have a table saw and a radial saw and I can buy a pocket hole jig but beyond that... not going to create a whole cabinet shop for this project. Good work, thanks.
I am soooo happy you did this id love to redo it at home soon
Do it, Johanna!!
Bring back this series! I've some space under a staircase I wanna do some custom built it but I dont want it to be obvious doors to it. I'm gonna use one of The Wall's wall designs to make it all look like a feature wall. I need this series to come back
I love these videos! I want to see number 2!!
I am trying this! All the materials are here and kicking it off today. Thank you!
Woohoo! I hope your bookshelf turns out awesome! Let us know how you like it.
Great Project! and easy to do with your explanation! thanks for the video!
Omg! You make this look so easy! Next, try #3.😉
That reveal made my jaw drop. That is beautiful. Then u added the desk and wow. You are very talented. Great video.
Love the bookcase. Lowes I officially give you permission to try all new designs in my home ☺️ - can't wait to see which design wins. I like the wainscot look. So come on by and create that look. You can pick the room 😂
That looks great! I have to try that for my next diy project.
You should definitely do number 1 next
You have such an awesome personality! You're totally inspiring me to try this stuff.
Thanks Nina! Building your confidence is my #1 goal 💪
Love this!! When I buy a home I want to build one in every room!!! I would widen the shelves. Love the lighting feature....& desk idea.....I would want a window to look out & daydream 😊
--for your next challenge....Qbert wall please 😊
Haha, it is Qbert, isn't it?! Hope they don't sue 😬
You’re really fun to watch! I watched three in a row and subbed immediately!
#3 stacked panels would be great. LOVE the shelves btw!!!
I love this video series keep them coming please
Would love to see #4!! It's really gorgeous!!
Your wish is my command...
My goodness (painting aside) you made this look so easy. I must give this a shot one day.
I love it! ...although I'm kinda bummed you didn't use some sort of moulding to cover those vertical lines and show us some equally clever ways to work with the corners and joints.
Totally voting #1 next.
Well done man.. and for the next project my vote will be.. all of them man .. they all look so fun.. but if I have to choose one it would be #4.. keep it up
