Mobile homes are well known for their dark and narrow hallways so it's no surprise that the previous owners of our home removed the wall between the bedroom and hallway altogether. Today we take on a big job of replacing the missing wall while trying to keep an open and light feel. Watch our video to see our unique solution to this problem.

I remember your video showing us this and explaining couples yrs back when you were wiring the big shed/workshop

That polycarbonate wall resembles Japanese shoji screen! Very cool!

@diyfferent 6 лет назад

Thanks! We're totally loving it :D

@karenmcelyea154 6 лет назад

I like the bedroom wall, but I think the shiplap should have been continued down the entire hall. I’m all about saving money but I believe the next buyers would agree about continuing the shiplap. I love watching your videos!

@madelinebrooks4387 6 лет назад

Hi Doug and Ashley, Looks really good reminds me of a Japanese house great improvement

@smallfootprint2961 5 лет назад

I just can't say enough, how clever you guys are. It looks like something right out of a magazine. You should be on HGTV for fixes for small spaces. That is just gorgeous. Now Belle will have more privacy too, when she wants to use the rest room, especially in the middle of the night. I'd live there in a minute. You should get this published by one of those mobile home fixing sites on the internet. So cool.

@mrbrent62 6 лет назад

It looks majestic!!! Maybe a roll up Bambu for more privacy when you need it 😏

@cjlive5182 6 лет назад

That mistake would cause the males in my family to swear a bunch and drink a lot resulting in losing a whole day by hangover😛. You’re ideas and follow-thru have not ceased to amaze me!

@karencatalano4349 6 лет назад

I painted all my paneling off white it made it so bright and made my trailer look bigger that looks very nice. You might have started a new trend

@bellavita2484 6 лет назад

The new translucent wall reminds me of Japanese walls - Love this style! Very creative 👍😄

@mikeydraper1653 6 лет назад

This looks awesome. Reminds me of japanese shoji screens. It somehow looks modern but fits the retro trailer. Also I love how honest you are about the mistake and cutting, not many other channels would do that. Hey at least you cut it too long and not too short.

@diyfferent 6 лет назад

Yea, cutting too short would have been annoying, haha!

@LindyMac 6 лет назад

Hope you guys are okay - it's been a particularly stressful time for you lately. Some people are always so negative and judgmental, too, which is a shame. But you have so many people who support you and your honest pursuit of your own, individual lifestyle. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing so much with us all. :)

@diyfferent 6 лет назад

We are okay :) We've been busy working on some things the last few days and we'll have a video uploaded in the morning. It's nice to have so many people supporting us, it really helps to motivate us :D

@patrickbear7261 6 лет назад

I love the wall. Fancy.

@carnation038 6 лет назад

Whoa!! Good thinking. I love it and it does look very nice. hmmm maybe I'll move to Indiana!! You two are missing your calling. I think you have natural abilities to make dull properties come to life. Maybe you should think about flipping some homes?!?

@Sunshine-bh8ki 6 лет назад

Love the wall great ideal. But u should make the ceiling in the hall way look the same and not so choppy.

@thomaspaine6682 6 лет назад

Nice job! It does have a very late 60's early 70's modern feel to it.

@dragonflygrandma 6 лет назад

That looks nice.

@dennism5565 6 лет назад

AWESOME idea! I am so glad I found this channel. The look reminds me of the oriental screens you see in the Japanese temples

@lindahouston4549 Год назад

Love the wall! The paneling strips tie it into the rest of the house. ❤

@jennyw1445 6 лет назад

This looks really nice and fresh. What a big improvement!

@suecapra5005 11 месяцев назад

I always remember this wall, would love to be able to copy it someday. Great job 👍👍👍

@cherylinoklahoma9624 6 лет назад

It looks amazing! What a great solution. Lots of light on both sides. The only thing I would change is place the switch in the narrow space right next to the door so it doesn't break up the symmetry of the larger spaces. Yes, it would require moving the wire over in the space above the ceiling and drill another hole in the ceiling, but the original hole in the ceiling would be covered.

@elmwoodguy 6 лет назад

Doug, you do good work.

@diyfferent 6 лет назад

Thanks :)

@DaveSJS4ever 6 лет назад

That’s really came out nice! Great solution for a dark area! Beautiful! Great job you two! 👍👍👍👍👍 I would finish the hallway with the shiplap so it doesn’t look like you ran out of materials. Just a thought!

@weetreebonsai 6 лет назад

That came out awesome!

@Fidg234 6 лет назад

I have to agree with Heather Oester to put the trim on the inside of the bedroom too. This looks so amazing and just love watching your different projects.

@karlab9557 6 лет назад

Great job! love this innovative idea. Floor to ceiling curtains on the bedroom side provide even more privacy, and darken the room for sleeping as needed, and then open up for daylight.

@KingTomato117 6 лет назад

You guys are seriously some amazing people. That looks so much better than I was thinking it would lol.

@gailreese4699 6 лет назад

Good Idea. But I think It would look more finished if you trimed the other side with the paneling also.

@ImranThinks 6 лет назад

*Great Job!*

@WhyNot-zr5kl 6 лет назад

OMG that's awesome, it has such an Asian feel to it, light and airy.

@sharmellgarcia-seabeewife6188 6 лет назад

Great work kids! Continue to be creative and work together. You make a beautiful young family.

@leebrown5469 6 лет назад

That was a very clever idea Great Job

@diyfferent 6 лет назад

Thanks :D

@heathermaceachern3646 5 лет назад

I found this also by accident, but, love watching your projects. Great Job!

@davidkuhn8946 6 лет назад

Ok that was a step I will use in my next remodel. Just awesome work.

@sylvianedubray8011 6 лет назад

Nice job done again, good idea, congratulations ! 😊👍👍👍

@susanlinginfelter706 6 лет назад

Very nice looking wall.....better than it looked when new, I am sure!

@robinr.770 5 лет назад

Brilliant, beautiful and simple. In Japan, understated elegance is known as "shibui." I absolutely love and appreciate this project. Thanks for sharing.

@wannabesomethingmore 5 лет назад

I like the Japanese feel it gives. I see a meditation room with tatami mats and a sliding door. Very nice!

@cyndifoore7743 5 лет назад

Kathy Matlock Wigley a sliding door would be great! I want to see how they decorate it. Take out the carpet and put in Berber, and modern furniture, something with straight lines.

@lindajohnson2773 6 лет назад

I really like what you did wtih the polycarbonate walls. WOW!

@karenbooth2062 6 лет назад

Love your outside the box thinking, very creative solution to an age old problem

@Kim-n-Brian 6 лет назад

Love it ....awesome idea. Great job once again !

@Nicole-bs1dw 5 лет назад

I LOVE the look of the wall from the hall, I would spend a little extra to do the same on the bedroom side

@sarducci23 5 лет назад

Just found your channel and have been binge watching!! That poly wall was an incredible idea. The trimmed out paneling looks great!!! Keep up the work and look forward to the rest of the series.

@mmartinezmatavaladez251 5 лет назад

It looks very mid century modern from the 60s and 70s!🤯🤯🤯😳👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@bootsieardito1816 6 лет назад

It does match!! Very 1960’s modern. Great ideal, it’s perfect :)

@tara_a_santiago 6 лет назад

GUYS!!! That looks AMAZING!!!! What an amazing idea.

@mrbracht 5 лет назад

I found you guys on accident. I love how real you guys are. No fake acting and you are just to the point.. Love your guys videos.. Keep em coming. ☺

@brianmay8445 6 лет назад

Duuuuude, that wall is stupid sweet! I love it, definitely cool lol

@CraftyLadyLinda 6 лет назад

I love that wall!!!!! It looks very mid-century modern. That is my favorite design style.

@DoyouknowmyfriendJesus 6 лет назад

Has an oriental look to it. Looks good.

@johnkeith9531 5 лет назад

The polycarbonate wall actually looks like a nod to possibly mid-60s chic. Excellent look - excellent job!

@SuperCidermonkey 6 лет назад

The wall looks really fantastic, great job and Ashley, you have such an infectious smile!!

@fernbrisot325 3 года назад

Doug, your flair for design is amazing. I would love to see it run free without budgetary constraints. In time, I hope you channel grows enough so that you can afford a CNC machine and a 3D printer. Then you designs will only be constrained by your imagination. I can't wait.

@cherylt8590 6 лет назад

Wow,one word,beautiful 😆💙👍😊...

@jenniferrice5877 6 лет назад

It almost looks like Asian paper screening. The people who buy it can do the same thing to the inside if they want to. The light would still penetrate and it would look more finished. The hall side looks fantastic. You do such a nice job. I could use someone handy as you. Love your work. Well thought out.

@austalien1 6 лет назад

that's cheating but dam that looks good love it. well done again Doug and Ashley

@EmmaAppleBerry 6 лет назад

Looks awesome i weirdly want to say 'groovy' haha you're right it does suit the trailers retro vibe!

@chubbyjaydraws 6 лет назад

If anyone can do it....Doug Conduit 😳😂 bad pun alert 🚨 looks good

@diyfferent 6 лет назад

haha, I love it

@BirdyMcKee 6 лет назад

Thats a cool idea, in fact, since I am remodeling a 62' Trailer right now, I may just use this as I think it will go great with almost anything :)

@superconsciouslullaby1895 3 года назад

That turned out really great! Thank-you for sharing. 🙏🏻

@sloanchessman5783 6 лет назад

Wow, that wall turned out to look amazing...I love it!

@robinr.770 5 лет назад

This polycarb wall was my favorite update in this home.

@LindyMac 6 лет назад

The wall looks really cool. Just a few questions, though: will you be putting the same trim on the inside? Could you have cut the carpet instead of cutting down the wall? Can you get furniture down the narrow hallway and in through the new doorway, ok?

@diyfferent 6 лет назад

No, I think we'll leave the inside white. I don't think I even have enough paneling left to mimic the look on the inside but it looks pretty good anyway. The wall was just way too tall, even if I had removed the carpet. The wall is just about where it originally would have been so it should be fine. I doubt we will get anything big into the bedroom, but that's just part of living in a mobile home I guess :)

@LindyMac 6 лет назад

Out in the Country Thank you for taking the time to respond. You are always so gracious and open, which is one reason why so many of us appreciate you and support you on your journey.

@loue6563 6 лет назад

love this idea!

@573customs6 Год назад

Definitely different but looks great. That was a very good idea

@TRX450RVlogger 6 лет назад

lol I know what you did wrong when measuring the studs and cutting them... I did that too... I Cut the studs to he length of floor to ceiling and then put the header and landing on and realized that added 3" haha.... Great build guys! On my Other Channel I'm going to be rebuilding my old burned double wide and taking video of it. Also as the lighting for the hallway I would have did a Sky Light. But over all looks great! I love remodeling mobile homes.

@diegoslinger1254 8 месяцев назад

Excellent build

@kristineolver3268 2 года назад

I quite love this idea. Especially for a kids room.

@dorothyharberts9099 3 года назад

You two are adorable. I love how well you both work together. I think your videos give people knowledge and inspiration in renovating a mobile home on a budget. Thank you!

@homesteadwannabee4253 6 лет назад

Very Frank Lloyd Wright, love it! Blessings ~

@janet3319 5 лет назад

Love the wall. Very Asian feeling. Haven't seen anyone do that before.

@arberhayes9925 6 лет назад

Genius...pure genius improvements. Yes I also appreciate you are always so-o honest about not being perfect the first time...only perfect on the second time...ha ha! Take care! :-) XX

@Bunefoo401 5 лет назад

Love the hallway, very retro and practical with the light shining through

@maristuginski 4 года назад

I can't believe I'm just now discovering this renovation of yours! Great as always

@RandolphRelicRecovery 6 лет назад

Nice job! The realestate term for the way it was before is "functional obselence". Another example wood be something like a 5 bedroom 1 bath home. The opposite would be an over improvement like 1 bedroom 5 baths, etc.

@debramackinnon8094 5 лет назад

Rewatching because I just love your wall.

@lilithabunni 5 лет назад

That looks so good! I was wary of using paneling strips for the outside but now that it's done, I love it!

@kathleentinley7261 Год назад

That wall was a great idea! i really like that it gave the hallway more light.

@crestview 6 лет назад

Looks so good! I agree with it looking retro.

@nancybauernfeind3744 5 лет назад

that looks so great you both are so smart to thank of that .

@madkajun 3 года назад

This wall looks fantastic!!

@CommonSenseLover 5 лет назад

I like how you found a creative solution and turned an awkward layout into a custom selling point. I hope to do something similar for myself in the near future.

@mikemeyers3593 5 лет назад

I’m really glad to have seen this project before starting my own wall project. Lots of visual and light impact for my mid century home and more cost effective than my own idea. Thanks

@cheryltackett8307 5 лет назад

You are all adorable and doing such a great job! It's super fun to watch you! THANKS!

@jodiebennett1719 5 лет назад

What a great idea! More light, more happy thoughts.

@littlemouse9900 6 лет назад

I love it! you were able to get your wall and have all that natural light! Never would have thought about that! 👍

@ginagonzalez5763 3 года назад

I love your wall, excellent. I'll keep it in mind when I want to conceal things out of the way and yet allow light to go through. Thanks for the idea.

@diyfferent 3 года назад

thanks :)

@oak6845 6 лет назад

Doug & Ashley you both are Artist at heart, the translucent wall goes just perfect!

@iEatcandy. 5 лет назад

Gorgeous.I love cheap DiY design. Cant wait to see it all finished. I painted a room in my house that had 70's paneling all gloss white with a raised textured damask accent wall @ it looks so good. Id love a wall like this!! Make it look so easy.

@millerjoan 6 лет назад

I just love that idea of using the panels to allow light in but you still have privacy! Nicely done!

@jamesrodriquez2863 6 лет назад

Very creative and unique! The only thing you did that I would say should have been done differently is that you didn't cut the carpet out to attach the bottom of the wall directly to the floor.

@diyfferent 6 лет назад

Thanks! It's okay, that's how they built all the walls in this mobile home, on top of the carpeting. We had to replace the hallway carpeting after this so we just cut along the poly wall and ripped it out. The bedroom can always be done the same way :)

@crinkle2649 3 года назад

That is so cool looking, I would never have thought of using that for a wall. It's enough for privacy.

@kristinebailey2804 4 года назад

Brilliant ! Has a Japanese room divider look to it, also the ship lap ceiling is awesome.

@smallfootprint2961 3 года назад

Once again, checking out your polycarb wall installation. It looks so amazing. Good call on the use of conduit. Looks so mid century modern. Nice touch.

@samchu5503 2 года назад

Many thanks for your video! It gives me an idea about how I should go ahead with a similar partition.

@anthonylawson518 5 лет назад

Just found your videos!! I'm currently buying a 1976 Horizon mobile home! I have done a lot of neat things myself and you guys motivate me to do even more!! Thanks you!!

@mauso12012 5 лет назад

Definitely thinking outside the box. Looks great. Good job

@REGALSUNFLOWER 6 лет назад

This is absolutely stunning!!! I live in a manufactured home/trailer home and this is a great idea for my issues too!!!!

@sarabermudez3519 3 года назад

wow , great idea! it does give a shoji door feel or maybe a 70’s feel. Such a beautiful idea and lovely family!!! Loved seeing your kid run around in the video, it’s refreshing and real!

@beverleymartin1881 Год назад

I loved this wallwhen you first built it, was so happy when it just popped up, you have come so far and I have loved every episode on the journey ❤️ see tiny Maverick was so cute.xx
