Does anyone else feel like Danie is like doing really well lately? I don't know how to put it but lately her videos feel like she has been really happy and exuding with her personality. I hope she is dling well I know we want the best for her! Also I don't know if she has an editor or if she is doing the clip insert jokes but they have been hitting especially well lately too!
Thank you! This means a lot. My editor and I put a lot of effort into our edits to make it enjoyable, funny and light-hearted. I am feeling really good lately! I’ve been working hard to balance my creative-self off camera and I think it’s been helping me on my daily projects you all see 🙏❤️ the validation is so kind to read that’s it showing Xo
There is something so magical about tiny, detailed, repetitive patterns that make folk art pieces so beautiful. I can't wait to see the stained glass!!! This was terrific!
How healing and soul-soothing this lovely furniture will be. After a breakup, she can look at this and feel happy and know she is worth all the time and attention to detail that went into it.❤
I know right?!!! As soon as Kaitlyn said set, I thought series! Wouldn't this look great in Dani's greenhouse? Probably have to add on some rooms to it though😂!!! This is Fabulous & I say this as a person who doesn't like a lot of different colors together on anything, plain no print shirts, tops, skirts or dresses! Bedspreads, sheets or curtains! But This, Wow, Amazing❤!!! All the color shades & print design, chefs kiss😘!!! Only two more pieces to go, maybe after aircon is installed😅?!!! (that's sweat on the lil emoji)
This piece is so wonderful and such a standout. You wouldn't want the other parts of the set to be the same -- it would cheapen them all, make them look manufactured. Maybe the other parts of the set could be sanded and painted a solid Weeping Willow green so they would connect but be more background.
When I was around 14, an old, old man who was always smiling and laughing told me the secret to being happy up into the golden years was this: NEVER STOP BEING A KID. Yep, that simple. You spraying yourself with the waterhose reminded me of this.
Absolutely fabulous! When I saw the colour palette, it was completely unappealing to me. Watching you transform a plain dresser to mind blowing masterpiece proved how completely wrong I was. 18 months ago my soulmate of almost 40 years lost his battle with cancer. Since then, I've had no desire or motivation to get back to my sewing, painting, crafting, and thrift store furniture refinishing. THANK YOU, for stirring up long forgotten desires to create something. I'm so blessed to have stumbled upon your video!
Hi! I'm speechless! This is truly magnificent Dani. I'm nearly 64 years old, and I have never seen such a wonderful transformation in any DIY....that term doesn't come close to the Artist, and Talented person you are!!! I could type an entire page of comments! Kind regards, M.
Wow, THIS episode is a perfect example of how *WONDERFUL* RU-vid can be a facilitator of a commuunity building experience. Everyone's comments are magical, adding to Danie's magic...I have hope in humanity.
First off, the attention to detail you put in this piece is what really elevated it. Yes, you could have done it quicker, BUT it would not have the amazing feel it does. Love, Love, LOVE!! Second off, showing us the time it takes to do, brings us from RU-vid magic to realistic expectations if we wanted to try and replicate this. Also, the are Birdmaids and Birdmen 😂
This a WONDERFUL and completely timely series for today’s economy. Let’s reimagine these pieces and keep them out of our landfills. You are so creative and imaginative with these pieces and interpret your clients vision so perfectly. Well done you!!
You are both an artist and a builder. You combine the structure, building and engineering aspect of DIY with your ability to create art. That's what makes your channel different from other DIY channels (and why I love you so much). The dresser is amazing and beautiful. I can't imagine her not absolutely adoring it.
I 100% agree with your comment! This piece goes much further than just a diy. This is truly artist material. We know Danie can diy and build but this... this shows the vision of an artist! Love, love, LOVE it!!❤
This dresser is absolutely gorgeous !!!!! Thankyou for sharing this in two episodes. 2 episodes means more time to admire your painting and creativity.
DANIE THIS CAME OUT SO, SO BEAUTIFUL! My mom is Spaniard, and the designs remind me so much of Spanish motifs. This was gorgeous. And like, yeah the deadline gad to get pushed, but you put so much love and respect and effort into this project that was so worth it. Also Katelyn's quote about having a secret garden till you can build your own outside, funnily brought me to tears. I'm at a difficult point in my life where I'm already 32 years old but still living in a tiny little bedroom, and it's been making me depressed and restless. I recently started collecting and caring for plants, and they have brought me so much hope and joy. So Katelyn's words very deeply resonated with me in an ironically literal way❤
This is so artsy, whimsical, fantastic, wowza! I am impressed with your patience and love of detail and this piece already looks so stunning, I do hope she loves it. I would burst into tears if someone would do that for me, CANT WAIT to see the next episode and the reveal! ❤❤❤
You are a warrior! Painting in that heat is hell, BUT, you persisted and have a whimsical, beautiful piece to show for your persistence! I can not wait for the next video, stained glass!!! OMG!
This made me so emotional! It made me think of a mother painting a set of furniture for her daughter and I just feel love pouring out of this creation 🥹
Danie! The attention to detail! The focus on giving your client what she wants! I’m not a floral person for design but this is beautiful and I absolutely love the colors! Can’t wait for next week to see the completed product. ❤❤❤
It reminds me in the 90’s when I was painting all my own, my friends’ and finally customers’ pieces of furniture, yes, it takes a lot of time, even stenciling, and all the details, especially as I used to create my own stencils with some oiled Manila thick paper, but you’re right to go with these stencils which are more appropriate for what this viewer wants. In the 90’s, the theme was also: flowers, leaves, plants, gardens, birds, butterflies and fruits, why not strawberries. It was so much fun! Thank you for bringing me back to these great, vintage now, memories… Wow! I am vintage… 🙁 Trends come and go but nature remains always very trendy, our Earth beauty. I really love your dog 🐕
Oh my gosh, that is breathtaking!!!! So much thought, talent and love went into creating this and I am sure it will be a treasured piece for her in this new phase of her life! As a vintage lady (almost 60 years old), I am very aware of how quickly life can change and having a piece that is grounded in her childhood memories, will be part of this new stage and can transition into a little girl’s room if she is blessed with one is such a legacy to help create! Well done!
Just when I thought I couldn’t love this video any more, there was a dog. The cabinet is magick at work, made from the heart and sure to help mend broken parts 🌺
Omg I love the dresser so so much and it reminds me of my grandfather hand painting birds all over the kitchen cabinets ❤️ I miss that kitchen so much ❤ I’d love to see a floral glass stained window or peel & stick where the Iron Mustache was.
Danie, I wish I could give this video more likes. It looks fantastic already and so creative! She is going to love it and is so lucky to have you making this for her!!
It looks so good and it's not even finished yet! I feel a strong urge to go thrift a piece of furniture and repaint it all folky like. I love folk art painted furniture it's just so beautiful. What you have done with this piece is amazing and I'm SO excited for the stained glass!!
Oh.........Dani! The Dresser! Charming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish I had one......wish I had the entire set, after your painting magic!! I love your channel, and projects. M.
This style is so far from what I like that it actually gave me anxiety watching this ! That said Danie did such a beautiful job and I can appreciate the sheer effort involved and I'm sure it will be received with love and cherished for years
When you started talking about your ideas on what to do with this dresser, I almost turned the video off. The more you talked about your ideas, the more intrigued I got. I’m so glad I watched until the end. All I can say is WOW!! Absolutely stunning. You definitely had a vision that came to life.
Screaming crying throwing up, absolutely sunning! This made me emotional, so much time and love went into this. Wish I didn’t watch yet because I can’t wait for the second part!
Danie, the dresser is so beautiful!!! I love it, and watching you paint was not boring at all. I can't wait to see the final reveal. She is going to love it!!!
I'm building 180 drawers this week for a job. I have done 78 of them so far, and it took me a week, not to mention that I had to make the parts to build them from scratch.
It is so good to finally meet a DIYer from Canada. I discovered your videos two days ago about your front yard makeover and loved them. I also live your sarcasm and humor, but more importantly, when you spoke about your well-being. Thanks for your videos. I almost finished my front yard landscaping today. I was hopping in and out at Canadian Tire now. I'm in pain from being on my feet all day, but I am proud of my accomplishment.
