I’ve done plenty of jobs like this, great work! I would just recommend to anyone else looking to take this on: plan ahead for electrical receptacles and to also add insulation within the wall. All the noise from both ends of that wall will go straight through and cause headache down the road.

So fresh and airy. I love a neutral palette, it leaves so many decor options and the dresser blends in so seamlessly:)

you can hang drywall by yourself if you learn one trick: measure down from the ceiling a little over 4 feet, and throw a screw in the studs at that height. you can then lift the drywall up and set it on top of the screw, angling the top back towards the wall. adjust it just how you want it and you can screw in each section without needing a second set of hands. learned this the hard way after drywalling a 9 x 14 room pretty much by myself! also, even though it was just between two rooms, i would have still insulated the divider wall. not only is it a good sound damper, but it also insulates the outermost wall from the inner space that much better, so that even if it is cold in the outer room, that cold does not translate as much to the inner area. just my two cents.

Im a brotha from the city ' just relocated to the country and are in process of framing a wall and a couple other small woodwork jobs ' i found your video very helpful ' im in awe ...lucky hubby❤

The dresser turned out way better than expected! Well done!!

I love your videos! Your editing, your voice, your work craftsmanship, to include cleanliness of space during your work. I really respect all of that!! It's so amazing to watch. Thank you for making it look effortless! 🙏💜✨️

You made putting up a wall and door frame look easy-peasy. I'm confident I can do this too. Thank you🙏

Wow, so impressed by your DIY skills (and bravery to under take this). Your husband and family are lucky to have a live in handy-person!

It’s been along time since I’ve built around but my husband and I used to do it together very impressed that you did basically by yourself also I think the dresser turned out gorgeous

great job, the only thing missing is the outlet on the new wall, one on each side, per most building codes you should have one every 6 feet so you don't need to have extension cords.

I love how you were able to save the wood on the drawers AND customize it to the room’s aesthetic.

Very inspirational! I have been considering some DIY stuff myself and have had reservations about destroying my carpet. But watching you work/making it look so easy is for sure a confidence booster.

Wow, your work has become so smooth, you make it look easy. That dresser rehab alone could of been a video, your results are amazing. Motivates me to keep going on my house flip!

Gorgeous job! Those beds are the best, my son loved his. The addition of the book shelves is genius.

Who is this woman’s husband? Bruhhhhhhhh jesuuuuus what a keeper!!!!

Awesome work, especially with the furniture, the light grey stripe was an excellent idea. Amazing content. 👏

Wow! Great idea connecting the sander to the shopvac.

Mrs. Melissa: You not only know how to work, but you also have an excellent sense of aesthetics. Congratulations and cordial greetings to you and yours from Argentina. ​

Wow, the dresser turned out so nice!! 👏

Im a grandma and i crochet and occasionally make crafts. 😂 What an inspiration you are!!! I’ve only been brave enough to paint walls.

Very nice. I don’t know why you still get nervous, I’ve been watching your videos for some time and I can tell your confidence level is way better just from watching. Besides you have the talent and ideas to fix it if you ruin something.

Great job, love how the dresser turned out!

Wow I'm totally going to make the book shelves on our bed... That's a great idea and saves space in their room

I bought this as a gift for my friend kzfaq.infoUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.

Well done, you're great! Your son must be very happy to have his own space!!

i love the outcome! I would like to see the hallway. So curious how the space looks on the outside of the room

This is amazing! I love that you saved the wood on the drawers of the dresser. It would've been cool too, if you could have used similar wood on the bed to match the dresser. But I love the black detailing that updated an out of the box bed into something custom! SOOOOO love the gray paint detail you did!! Great job!!!

Love that you built such a cool room for your son!

Great job on the whole room but I especially love how that dresser came out. The black lines are so simple but a really great accent!

Such a useful transformation to the space!! Great job! Love watching all your diy transformations, you're ideas and work are so inspiring. Keep up the great work!! ❤

What a great space. Beautiful job.

Love that about the wire. That happens to me every-time, I come across diy mistakes and issues working around old items in the build.

Wow home renovation magic! The end result looked professional and chic.

That's so cool!

Great job! That dresser turned out so good! 👍🏻👍🏻

Amazing

That dresser! Would watch you buy old furniture and revive them anytime, such a cool transformation.

Great work! Keep it going. Younger people need to know that this is an industry that you can be successful in.

Melissa "doesn't know what she's doing" yet can do anything. You are too humble. Room looks nice!

Job and a half .. better than some guys I've worked with here in the UK... Good job 👍

Amazing job on the space you created! 👍🏻👍🏻 I am curious… would you show us what the other side of the wall looks like as you come up the stairs and walk down the “new” hallway? Thinking of my own space and wondering how it “feels”. Thanks!

Love, love, love that dresser! As for the wall, that's amazing. Well done! I tackle a lot of DIY but cannot do those big jobs that require a second person as I live alone and I'm almost old enough to be your grandmother now too! I had a similar wall built recently to divide a large open room at the top of my stairs to create a bedroom plus home office. However, I had to hire a contractor do the framing and plasterboard of the basic wall and door opening. I then took over to finish off some of the trim, as well as a small window. Plus painting, glazing etc. I agree it always feels so satisfying. I envy how in USA you are allowed to tackle electrical. Here in Australia, we have to employ qualified electricians to get a certificate of compliance. Can make a job expensive. 😟 I've been a subscriber for some time and love your inspirational videos.

What a COOL bedroom!!! Really nice

Awesome to see good job, im adding one to our playroom cause its huge to make another bedroom. Watched this to refresh my memory before going to home depot and get supplies. Been awhile since i done any framing. Thank you.

Wow! You're clearly take DIY to another level. Great job.

wow very awesome work! I had a basement room that we called the murder room. Dark, dusty, and exposed brick. We framed it and added new lights and now it's a basement pantry since we don't have a lot of room in the house. I wish I could do something more like this with my house but it's pretty much all there. I bought an endoscope to look at some areas that maybe I can get storage rooms out of them.

That dresser is awesome!

That dresser looks great.

You do a really great job with everything. I always loved doing DIY projects. Keep up the awesome work!

Always amazed at your work. A combination of fearlessness, growing skills, and a very good design vision. Its hard to find all of that in one person. Seeing you are from northern MN, you may need some HVAC in that room for the cold winters.

Who says these younger generations are worthless!! I argue they are MUCH more resourceful! and capable Keep it up

You made a great point about how nerve-wracking these processes are. I love to do DIY, but half the time I opt not to because I am afraid I will destroy everything. Great video.

I have to say you work harder than most builder i work with. Impressive

Me at 7:30 : "What is she doing? This can't work out very well..." Me at 7:35 : "Wow! Some people are actually visionary wizards working on a level I'm incapable of understanding!" 😍 Great job Melissa, another task that looks too easy! 👍

If only all mums were this cool and talented. Excellent project. Nice Edit. 👋😀💪

I don't know if I need more energy or flexibility, but just clearing up the clutter and getting things ready to build seems like such a big chore. It was nice to see you get past that point. Then I saw what I didn't expect! The carpet we have in our house is something I've wanted to replace, but really get rid of, for a long time as it was owned by older people and had been white or whiter at one time. I then saw that your carpet matched and I felt less behind on things. Amazing job, it helps with getting through the stuck moments of tiring out or not starting because the wall in front of you seems too high, and I don't mean a physical wall. Love he modern look, and I wish to work over my house to make it modern styled myself.

With an emphasis on affordability and a can-do attitude, this video serves as an empowering resource for individuals seeking to maximize their home's potential. The engaging presentation style and the achievable nature of the project make it a must-watch for anyone considering a bedroom makeover or expansion in their own home.

Very nice job. Frog tape is nice, but yellow can be tricky. If you put the tape on then brush a light coat of the color Underneath, it’ll seal the edges. The way the green frog tape bled on the bed frame can be avoided with a tiny amount of clear siliconized Alex caulking on the edges, then wiped off.

Awesome job! You have inspired me!! Thank you!

I just love the way that dresser turned out that was sweet

Love the room but that dresser steals the show! Stunning!

i would recommend a new tack strip for the carpet on both sides of new wall to help keep it in place or help against accidents later on. great job and looks better than some *pro* jobs lol :)

Never cease to amaze me! Pretty work.

Very nice, looks good!

Theo has his own fort! So cool! I’m so thankful for this video. I’m months away from my project. I’m saving your videos to facilitate my build. Of the DIY channels I follow, you answer more questions for me, that I didn’t know I had yet. Your content, confidence, openness, lessons learned, etc are reducing the stress, fear and uncertainty I have about my upcoming work. P.S., I noticed the MN decor and I have to say, Minnesota rocks! Thank you for your hard work and honestly sharing your creativity and lessons learned. You have inspired me.

Well done, that came up a treat!

Very Motivational! Great Work!

That dresser is the bomb 💣

I just found you here on KZfaq, and I had to stay until the end of the video. This is very inspiring to me. I am looking forward to your next project. New Subscriber here from TX.

I will be doing the same in my den in my new build. I don’t have experience. I will also add a pocket door with framing to make it look arched. Wish me luck 😅

I love your channel! The attention to detail is amazing!

That thumbs up at the end says it all. Well done, very inspiring :)

I enjoyed this vid sooo much!!! Thank you! Very inspiring. ❤

You are amazing! This came out so good!

Very nice looks cool love it brilliant

Wow, it looks absolutely amazing, you did a great job well done 👏🦔🌻

Great job!

You make that llook so easy. It came out great

Thanks for posting. I want to do an large upstairs room into two.

Love the dresser

One question, what you used to attach the drywall to the 2x4? Screws? Or nails? I don’t have experience with wood cause I have a concrete walls

Yes! The dresser is MCM! That was a steal!

Awesome work !!!

Good for you! What inspiration!

I am a big fan of walls and you did a great job.

Amazing job!

Wow,love this and awesome job!

Great job! I've made one room in my current garage a few years ago. Moving and need to make another room and brush off the dust as how I did it. Thanks!

Great project but did you secure the dresser to the wall? they have safety straps for dressers to prevent kids from accidentally pulling it down on themselves. A handful of children die every year from furniture falling on them.

If there is not a rafter over head for you to nail the top 2x4 into for your wall you can cross stud between two rafters to hold the wall in place. Of course you will have to cut away drywall to fit up into the ceiling to do it. Probably not code but will work.

Thanks for your sharing, I learn new idea to maybe divide the biggest room in our house into 2 small function venues lol

Great, don't hurt your hand, thank you very much for your efforts, dear friend❤❤❤💯💯💯👌👌👌👌

I love it! I just came across your channel. But I’m sure this isn’t the last video of yours I will see.

This is very impressive. Well done

amazing job you have done! I'm gonna try something without fearing too much.

Nice job!

Great job ! I can't wait to see you tree house video !

very very good job

That $20 dollar dresser!!! 😳🤘🏼

Perfect, excellent 👍
