Building My Dream Office: Part 1

TLDRIn this video, I start building my dream office by creating an accent wall using a board and batting technique. I then paint the wall and install MDF boards. I also assemble and install a standing desk frame, mount monitors, and create a pegboard charging station. Finally, I add finishing touches with acoustic boards, lights, and storage units.
