Hi all, thank you for your watching! Per your request,I have added most of the products and tools we used in this home office makeover under the video description section. Please take a look if you are interested. I hope those are helpful. Let me know if I miss anything. =)
Hi Gala Studio, please could you measure (in cm) and tell me the length, width and height of ONLY the shelf/ storage of the ikea mittback trestle leg. I have a printer 42.5cm x 32cm x 17cm and I want to know if it will fit on the shelf. (IKEA doesn't give the measurements of the actual shelf on their website sadly) thank you.
Hey nice video , did you screw your pegboard on the wall ?
Why so many googly eyes 😄
@@grownupgoth so we can put them on stuffs around us
@@teenshek9122 there is a metal bracket that is screwed to the wall(it also works as a spacer) the peg board is fastened onto that bracket
Very good. Quick tip: all that masking tape should have come off a lot sooner. Don't [need to] wait for the paint to be dry; take it off once there's no chance of any paint dripping/running. Leaving it too long you can end up taking paint off with it and needing to repaint, or it becomes a major job just trying to get the masking tape off as it's stuck dry, and it rips and comes off in small bits (depending on the brand). As soon as it's safe to do so, get it off!
wow thank you for the tips! this is something new but your explanation makes sense i will give it try next time
chill dude it worked fine
Ive been given this tip by painters as well and it’s worked for me greatz
Purple tape is very gentle
An underrated channel 😭
We will give it more time to grow, hopefully
Nothing is is underrated, everything has a time to glow.

I enjoyed every minute of this video honestly loved it
The lightning is mad. I love it. The way you organized the vertical wall is very inspirational. I see myself applying your idea at home. Me and my partner work remotely and also have desks next to each other. In our setup the divider between desks was a game changer. We used Ikea EILIF. With the divider and good headphones we're no longer distracted by each other's presence and what's happening on our screens.
This just popped up on my recommended list, and I can say that it's worth watching. I love the idea of using the other monitor as a clock when your partner isn't around.
this is the clock screensaver plug in in case you are interested: fliqlo.com/
@@galastudio9 Thanks.
Excellent studio makeover. Loved your use of the stair treads, with it's pre-finished bullnose and your routed inset for the l-bracket, it's definitely an idea I'll have to pick up when adding shelves to my set up. Great work!
wow, this is so cool thanks for sharing!
Each work is carefully done and very pleasant to look at. And the transition of the office in the bonus track is very interesting!
That was cool seeing the evolution of desk setups over time! Love the latest iteration!
Extremely cool work done with the peg board with the bends and the vaulted corner. I love this design so much!!! I feel for him about the monitor heights I would also be extremely distressed at the point 😫. Amazing space you've created here. I love it!! You have inspired me to think about how I will go about revamping my own office space.
Thanks! We are actually Looking at market for used monitors recently, trying to find a matching monitor🥹
Just get a gas operated monitor arm with 2 seperate arms, that way you will be able to adjust them better and get them to the same height
Good work! This was much better than those paid desk tours what most tech TH-camrs do now a days.
glad you like it! it is good to diversify anyway
So relaxing, well edited and I love the end result. Great job!
Love those peg boards, we saw them at Minnesota IKEA too in white & black.
They have cute accessories to hang on it.
Very nice video -it was ver relaxing watching how you were assembling the furniture and were putting stuff together.
thank you sir！glad you enjoyed it
Loved the video and all the different parts of your design. You showed me some simple woodwork tools that will be helpful in the future, thank you. I really like how you showed your different setups throughout the years. Most impressive was the curved wood divider incorporating the pegboard 👍
Glad it was helpful and inspired you!
擁有設計及專業的手作能力, 真的讓人佩服
This was really great! I love how you broke down your process. There were some really creative ideas here that I haven't seen before; love it! Thanks!
Glad you like it !
The best is yet to come - my new affirmation )))
Hope I will be able to make something as amazing as this some day...
Such a different and calm video of a reno! Nicely done! Without all those loud noises..
Nice result. Love the customization, really makes the place pop
I like how you built your office in a budget, but the lights alone are like $500 ea
i bought a used one on a office outlet on ebay for $100 if you are interested
Shit that is being on a budget nowadays

You’re truly a master of your craft. The wood bending blew my mind.
Incredible! All of the lighting is used so well. I love that the shelves are cut at different angles! I feel like my skills at getting things truly square are pretty lacking, so maybe some intentionally not-square shelves are my in future. :-) And loved the editing style with the drawings and the table of contents, looks so good!
Hahaha yes! You are absolutely right, we are also not fully confident on getting things perfectly square😅, so we have a lot of tolerance built in the design so that even not perfectly aligned would not felt the build is off. Having said that, maybe we should both master how to make things square first before fully embrace the free form geometries lol
Incredibly well done, planning meets execution, that is a rare occurance.
there are a couple hiccups, but we managed to work it out by the end
to make the beg board shelf hybrid as an architectural moment is the best part of the set up; a functional masterpiece, well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! i am flattered!
I love your office setup. You could switch the curtains for the blinds. That way, you can control how much light comes into the room.
Thank you we considered Roman shades at one point. But turns out we only get some really early sunlight between 6-9am in summer for this north facing window, so it doesn’t really bothers that much
i love the mix between white and wood
Brother, Thank's for all those beautiful ideas! New Subcriber here from PR. God bless you
I'm also an architect and this is very inspiring. I wanted to learn how to use tools properly too. it's very cool to make your own space after designing them. love this video!
also those rgb led lights are cool too
Wow, nice! i do think the architectural training pave the way for me to get more into those hands on works, it is good to design something digitally, even more fun if we can build it out with our own hands i feel!
@@summerhyukie567 From one architect to another, know that direct lighting or the ability to see the light itself in your view gives eye fatigue. Indirect lighting, studies have shown that reducing the eye fatigue improves productivity up to 10%. It make sense. Whenever you can, uplight. You can stick to task lights but I have learned to stray away from alien autopsy lighting.
@@The1Music2MyEars i agree with you as I experience this firsthand from our old apartment. will keep uplighting in my mind next time thanks again ~
Merci de montrer l'évolution. Ça permet de se rendre compte que construire un bon bureau prend du temps
merci boku!
You are so creative! Most incredible office make-over I ever seen ❤
Thank you Julia!
I just took a look to your channel, well this video worth more than all your videos together (I'm talking ONLY for views). I think you could integrate this type of makeovers more often.
People like me will never reach your channel without this video.
But I'm happy because I've also discovered other videos super interesting . 🔥
Thank you for your constructive advice, yes, it does look like makeover videos are more popular, we are planning to make more in future.
PS: glad you found other videos interesting as well~
Oh god great job guys, that space looks so beautiful ❤
This is what i need. I love how TH-cam recomend this video. I hope that i can make my work space looks like this. Thankyou for the inspiration and that office looks so cool and aestathic at the same time. 😊
You're so welcome!
13：15 very unexpected thought to position the lamp. Nice video, thanks
書上面的空間，令人快樂^^
haven't even finished the video, and I'm already subscribed. The pacing of this video is beauty
Thank you! And welcome onboard🫡
Not only an incredible space, but a beautifully made video. That was so enjoyable. Thank you!
Many thanks!
저도 IKEA로 Home office 생각하고 있었는데 좋네요~
Great video! I do love the cosy atmosphere of the studio neat and tidy it seems a totally different place! I would like to build something like this in my studio..I will ask my brother in law to help me on this project..he is the one who has the right tools to work with wood😁. Thanks for sharing the video!
I just found out your channel today and I dont get it why you guys are underrated for 2years? Everything you guys do are top notch!
New subscriber and I wish this channel reach 100k before half of 2023!
thank you for your kind wishes! I hope
It can come true!
of course it's a 100/100 point. perfect home office.
Wow thanks for your kind words!
I love how the space turned out, the curves of the furniture adds fun and softness and the space feels so welcoming. Comforting colours + natural wood. Can’t believe this is the first video of yours I’ve stumbled across (and by chance as well). 这空间也真的太美了~
Thank you so much for the kind words! really encouraging!
The lighting is amazing. Everything else is wonderful, too, of course
thank you!😁
your productivity is gonna skyrocket
hahaha work efficiency +25%
SOOO GOOD! Your representation skills are reallllllllyyyy goood. Loved your little experiment with wood bending.
It was amazing and gave a feeling of Joy too while watching this video, what awesome transformation.
Congratulations. A really well crafted video. It would deserve much more views.
Thank you so much 😀
In the midst of revamping my home workspace and I’m overwhelmed by the rather arduous task. Scurrying TH-cam for inspiration and your vid greatly comforted me, esp that little montage of setup upgrades over the years. 🥲
Love your integration of lights into the pegboard feature wall!
Cheers to, better things yet to come!
Thanks! It does sounds like a challenging task to us at first as well. but we selected a design that we are really excited about! It inject a lot of passion along the process and helped us carry it through.
That was so peaceful
I wish I could like this video more than once! Time to binge the rest of your videos. Many thanks for sharing and inspiring.
Wow! I am really glad you like it! it is really encouraging:)
wow... am so fascinated with every detail you made for the shelf
Thanks!
Very clean and looks really good.
Small piece of advice, don't wear gloves when working with rotating equipment - saws, drills, routers, etc., it's extremely dangerous and can lead to awful accidents.
Thank you for the kind advice! i have to say this is something new to me, i will do some research on this
This was phenomenal! The "side quests" made me chuckle☺️ The mix of calmness and engaging content...super! 🤌🏾🙌🏽👌🏽
Thank you! calmness & engaging content, that does sound like a great selling point, something we will try to strive for in future!
oh my! thank you so much, this is a brilliant idea! me and my partner have desks next to eachother like this on a blank wall in our office and we lack storage space, we've been struggling to make the room feel right - might have to try something like this!
Glad we inspired you, Good luck with your transformation
That's amazing, congrats to your beautiful workspace!
Thanks! It felt new and somehow boosted our efficiency a little bit I have a feeling :)
Great working space. Congrats on the make-over!
thanks!
Nice work! You can offset 1 of the monitors with a metal plate between the monitor and the stand to get them aligned. I had the same problem with 2 stacked monitors that didn't have the same width.
Thanks for the tip! but somehow the VESA mounting plate i have only have 4 holes(it only allows one configuration), maybe i should purchase another one which allows multiple mounting options
@@galastudio9 You need to drill 8 holes on the metal plate, so 4 holes for the original vesa points and 4 holes offsetted for the monitor back. Probably you need to use some taller spacers for this. I use a wooden plate like this since like 6-7 years and works. The hardest part is to measure how much offset you need to align the 2 screens properly.
Was hoping for a simpler diy that didnt involve a lot of power tools. Nonetheless, the crafstmanship and precision are fabulous and i really enjoyed the video. Well done
Excellent job! I love the extra work for all the small details!
The devil is in the details!
@@galastudio9 hahahah indeed!
Very nice and clean setup! Congratulations! If you don't mind I'll try some of the ideas myself 🙂
你们太强了！！让人心动也想着手开始调整自己家里
太好了 自己动手可以收获更多的满足感
Nice touch! A job well done! You deserve my subscription.
setup makeover is really different if handled by professional xD
the video is so pleasing to watch and inspiring! It was so clean, neat, simply pretty and functional!
Thank you so much!!
Congrats guys, awesome desk!
You guys are so good at everything. I'm in love 😍
We are still quite amateur🥹 there is so many knowledge and skill to learn in wood working!
Marvelous ! I want it be my room!😃Thank you so much for sharing!💯💕
Looks really neat and beautiful.
Loved watching this video, so calming and awesome ideas!! ❤
Thank you so much!!
I like the aesthetic. I've also been really interested in raised platforms lately, like putting a raised platform of one or two feet beside the window to bring it closer and give the room a separate feeling than what the walls will allow for.
It Also will be a great place to display some of your collections~
That's good point
Congratulations, this looks amazing !
So peaceful to watch!
Wahou! That is amazing! So clever! So cosy! Brillant!
Thank you!
Hmm.. not sure if it's a good idea do keep the air humidifier that close to the electeonics... but the configuration of everything else looks so clean! The drawers to keep the workspace free of tiny little objects was an amazing idea!!
Your point makes sense! I will try to relocate it
@@galastudio9 I second that point. I've opened a computer before that was too close to an oil diffuser like that. The oil and vapor precipitates in there after it's turned off and cools, then shorts the next time you turn it on. It was a difficult problem to diagnose until we opened it up.
You guys did amazing job. You deserve more subscribers and view. Looking forward to your next video 😊
thank you! Working on next one already
I love how harmonious it looks and the mix of colors, it certainly looks great, I have been wanting to repair a table for months now, as I also want to place my pc next to another pc I have, however I don't have those amazing carpentry skills and I am thinking of getting a carpenter in my area to help me.
i think finding some handy man in your area might be the best option for you
I love the pegboard/shelf idea so much. that may be on the christmas todo list. And can I please point out full container of googly eyes in the stationary drawer? Super important
very eagle-eyed! that is how I bring more life into the space(in a future phase probably)
you got a complete tools mate, that's great!
Thanks 👍 accumulated throughout the years
dae like the "before" more? it has that lived in character to it from all the mess. although the cork keyboard pad is a nice touch
Wow great build bro. Love it!
thanks bro!
Amazing and inspiring work! I'm going to be moving into a new home-office in about 6 months and you gave me some amazing ideas.
One quick safety tip for your tablesaw. You should try not to use gloves when working with spinning blades (tablesaw, router, jointer, etc.) because the glove can easily get caught by the blade and pull your hand into it.
Thank you! hope you enjoy the journey of your transformation as well!
Thanks for the tablesaw safety tips, I learnt that from this video
有一些巧思真的讓人眼睛一亮
非常好的作品!

Just a helpful tip : You definitely want to move that Diffuser from under your computer monitor . The moister and condensation will mess up the electronic components.
Thank for you the kind feedback, we have been notified by a lot of viewers on that potential threat, the diffuser is way away from electronics now
Wow! Great work
It's funny TH-cam propose me this video now, i've recently made a biiiiiig two seat desk with my father-in-law, it looks nearly the same ! I've used a Kallax for better looking shelf, and the desk itself stands on big metal drawers from my office (i believe these are made by Steelcase). But i've learned a few things and i am absolutely in love (like many here) with your floating shelf !
Good job ! Greetings from France !
Standing on metal file cabinet is a great idea! if we had any we would probably do that than using a table leg(it will make the tabletop more stable as well, besides more space for storage) steelcase is a good brand, if we are upgrading next time, we will get cabinets from them
in love with the whole vibe of your channel!
Glad you like it!!
Budget makeover with the most expensive desk lamps, omg!
saved all the money for the lamps : )
really very inspiring indeed! thanks for sharing amd good luck with all of your future projects!!!
Thank you! You too!
Very Nice Office, and thank you very much for sharing your technique. 😆
너무 멋있어요!!
That's absolutely incredible!
Beautifully done.
Love the transformation. And the video ❤
Nice setup. Divider wall to "give depth" is great. I was immediately ready to get the Pablo lamp and then I saw the pricetag... Some other day
If you don’t mind you can get a used lamp from eBay at 100-200 price point
@@galastudio9 good to know and ty for the tip
Really creative!
you guys are so inspiring
I really love this. Great job
Love the asthetics
Good job! Great improvement
