Aztec Tile Wall and Vessel Sink Install // DIY Modern Bathroom Pt.3
In part 3 of my modern bathroom renovation, I show how I tiled a very unique accent wall, how I installed a modern vessel sink and faucet, as well as a simple LED vanity light bar. This is the third of many videos in a series dedicated to showing the steps I took to modernize and customize this space. This was a fairly simple and cheap transformation that anyone can do themselves.

DIY Board Form Concrete Planter
Просмотров 60 тыс.3 года назад
I have always loved the modern and unique look of board form concrete. It is a new architectural technique that incorporates the textures of wood grain and concrete, which , to me, is the perfect aesthetic combination. In this video, I try to replicate this look while creating a concrete planter box. Follow me on Instagram @acreativetraveler: acreativetraveler?hl=en For more deta...
Rolling Storage Box/ Coffee Table Build
Просмотров 7 тыс.4 года назад
It was finally time to make use of the large space under the cinder block bench that I previously built. Since living in a loft typically results in a lack of storage, I decided to make a fairly simple wooden storage box on wheels. I wanted something that was functional, but also something that would hide nicely under the bench when it wasn't being used. Don't forget to like and subscribe! Foll...
Apartment on a Airplane for $56
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.4 года назад
For my very first time flying first class, I was able to book my own apartment for only $56 USD! This flight was originally over $7,000. Flying first class was always appealing, but always seemed too far out of reach for a budget traveler like myself. That was until the concept of utilizing credit card points was revealed to me. By using this strategy, I was able to embark on an ultra luxurious...
Tool/ Storage Closet Build
Просмотров 8 тыс.5 лет назад
How I transformed one of our downstairs closets in order to maximize storage. Living in a loft is amazing, but it can be very difficult to find storage. And since we don't even have a garage, it is very difficult for me to properly store and organize tools. To get the most out of this closet space, I built multiple shelves with simple wood brackets and a peg board area for hanging and displayin...
An Airplane in the Woods
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.6 лет назад
There is something oddly satisfying about seeing an airplane in the middle of the woods. As an avid traveler, an airplane has always served as a tool, as well as a symbol, for being free. Free to wander and explore different regions of the world and to engage in different views and ideas. To see this symbol purposely steered outside of it’s destined element (not in the tragic sense) seems to be...

Cousins In Cuba (2 Free Roundtrip Flights)

Cuba, with all of its extreme sights, smells, and sounds, was captivating in the oddest of ways. Experiencing Cuba was something I always longed for, but, given a poor political relationship with my home country, never thought would actually come to fruition. Despite past negative connotations here in the US, it is a special place with truly delightful people.The country exudes a unique charm. ...
The $30 Flights to Asia
Просмотров 7636 лет назад
For my very first major award booking, I was able to explore Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kyoto, and Taipei (for an extended layover) all by signing up for a single credit card. All of the flights for this trip ended up costing me only $30.80 out of pocket. However, after considering all of the other benefits of the credit card, this fee easily turns into a hefty profit. Aside from saving a ton of money o...

And if you ever have to move it, well, good luck.
What kind of glue is that?
Ok
Demasiado alto , incómodo
Me encantó.
🌹🌹👍👍🙏🙏
I started watching this for one reason and finished watching it to see how that interior box came out.
I am really sure you can build it yourself mates. I made it 2 weeks ago thanks to woodprix.
Too high. Should have used one less row for the legs
That came out very nice! 👍🏻 The pup and kitty were lovely to see too….😉
Hit it with a tiger torch then with a wire brush and instants the grain pops.
Amazing 🎉 I would like to try it. Thxs
Nice work! Although a bit of cheating there. Where did all the stuff go? :) E.g. the vacuum.
Good eye.. Got rid of some stuff and moved some to another closet 😉
can it support an obese person say 250 lbs ?
no
hihi - anytime these days when I hear in a video a remark that " it's cheap" when referring wood, I know the vid is at least 2 yrs old without looking at the date ! Great Job and presentation ! I too like this modern sleek style, built on simplicity and ease .
You’re so right lol. Oh how lumber prices have changed.
@@acreativetraveler783 you should make more videos! I watched the rolling storage/coffee tables as well. Look Great !
Thank you. As much as I love making them, life happens. Hit pause for a bit, but more will come.
Thanks nice technique thanks again
Vou querer um desse ❤❤
best feet video ever <3
Poxa eu queria estes tijolo mais moro em Belém do Pará
This is phenomenal..I've also been with my Anglo hot husband to Europe 4 times. Similar to you our honeymoon we spent in Italy, France and Spain. The most romantic trip ever!!! Glad you guys had fun. I am also part Latin.
Thanks for watching!
Awsome work.. Watching from India❤
Bacana a ideia m as qual o tamanho e bitolas destas madeiras? Alguem sabe dizer ?
Trop rapide pas de traduction en français dommage
there is a technic we use in woodworking to bring the grain out, "water and a torch" basically the tab wet the surface of the board and then you use a torch to charcoal the boards the you can clean the chard boards or sand them all depend how much of the grains you want to show.
Very nice work!
putting a wire brush on a drill or simply wire brushing the pine will bring out an amazing amount of wood grain, I used this technique on a table I made and the results were fantastic and simple to achieve
Awesome. Thanks for the input!
In addition to just a wire brush, if you have a propane torch, you can char the surface of the wood, and *then* brush it. The growth rings of the tree differ in density depending on when in the season they are formed (earlywood vs latewood) and the torch will burn away more of the less-dense earlywood, so when you brush to remove the charred portion, the varying depths achieved accentuate the grain. The whole process can be done with just a brush and no torch, but the torch just makes it easier and quicker.
Can’t tell if it’s tall or your just short?
A little of both lol.
@@acreativetraveler783 fair I did see the comment someone had with some updated size guidance. Looking at houses with my wife and I’m gonna make everything like this. It’ll last forever and it’s cheap compared to patio furniture 😂
Mine is a little high, but we love it and it has held up extremely well over the years 😉
love it
I thought of your video while working on a project yesterday. I had recycled some old composite boards into form boards for a little concrete project. Like most composite boards, these had a wood grain finish on one face and smooth on the other. They also released from the concrete very easily without any additional treatment.
Awesome! It’s kind of funny how every time I go to Lowes of Home Depot I look for good options. And that is one of the things I thought could work great. I’m definitely gonna have to try that one of these days. Thank you for reaching out and letting me know!
Just after typing the comment, a “Build Show” video came up on the topic. Obviously a different scale of project, but also great info. They also love the wood grain texture in poured concrete, and commented they found Doug-Fir to have the best graining. They also sand blasted the wood to really accentuate the grain. Reminded me of a pale version of shou sugi ban. Glad to help.
Good
Looks awesome, thanks for the ideas! How many bags did you end up using?
A 60# bag of concrete mix makes 0.45 cubic feet of concrete. I’m guessing the planter shown was less than one bag of mix. To calculate the volume you would need, first measure then multiply the inner length, width and depth of your outer box. Next, measure then multiply the outer length, width and depth of your inner box. Then subtract the inner from the outer and divide by 1,728 to convert from cubic inches to cubic feet. Good luck.
Yup. It was definitely less than one bag.
I like it!!!
Excellent job man. Can you put a link for where you got the sink and faucet?
I can't wait to make a few of these.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
What kind of glue
All materials are in the video description 😉
Muito criativo parabéns
Is May a good time to go?
May is a great month to go for weather. However, because of this, room rates might be a bit higher.
Free?
Still makes me cry every time it pops up. Awe I'm glad you met someone that is so special for you. You definitely deserve the best. Happy for the both of you!!!
Awww. Thanks Summer.
Am I the only one who wants to see the ring??? So happy for you both!
Great build. One thing I would recommend for an indoor planter, especially in this application is to coat the inside with drylock sealer. Excess water will seep into the concrete, and into the rug. This type of plant requires little water but it's an additional worthwhile step.
Good advice. Thank you!
that's the way to do it🥰
Adorei este banco. De todos que tenho visto é o que mais me agradou. Vou fazer aqui em casa. ( Rio de Janeiro, Brasil 🇧🇷)
What a beautiful proposal 🥰🥰. Many tears definitely fell from my eyes. Only thing missing was to show us the 💍
That looks FANTASTIC!!!!!
Thanks!
I'm gonna do this 👍🏾
This is the worst idea ever. My wife's brother was actually dumb enough to build this fucking thing and I had to take it down. Is everybody literally too stupid to notice how unstable the back is? Personally, I made an improvement by laying two blocks on each top side, laying on top of each other. The back is far more stable that way. And it still socks.
Gracias
Tats where it’s at done. It’s my next project
