Mancave Makeover Ep. 2 is available on YouTube -- DIY Floating TV Panel & Reclaimed Wood Feature Wall

This is the second of two videos for the mancave makeover received by a lucky friend.  In the first video, I showed how to make a concrete waterfall countertop (be sure to check it out if you haven't already: https://youtu.be/8vRc4F9MvtE).  In this second installment, I show how to make and install a reclaimed wood feature wall with a floating LED TV panel.

The video also shows the installation of Ikea Sektion cabinets with Kungsbacka front panels, so I guess you could consider this an Ikea hack of sorts :)

The TV panel is formed of two frames. The TV is mounted to the front frame, which is larger than the rear frame, and LED strips are attached around the rear frame.  This arrangement hides the LEDs, so they emit nice glow from behind the panel, and make the TV panel appear as if it is floating in front of the wall.

We used Stikwood reclaimed weathered wood in white to cover the walls and TV panel.  It is a peel n' stick product that is really easy to install.
