This may be an odd comment but it occurred to me today that it's actually a lovely thing the way certain DIY decisions of Dani's have been more controversial lately. Like I would never cover up the natural wood with a pink like that, but she loves it ☺️ I think it really shows how her work is evolving to be deeply authentic to her and she is finding that RU-vid vs real life balance that's so critical for sustainable creativity. So congratulations Dani on further evolving your fabulous voice and style 😄 this corner of the internet is lucky to have you 🎉
I had a moment with that too. You just have to remind yourself it is someone else's project and give it a chance until the end. She's done so many natural wood projects its not like she's missing anything
I yeeped at the 50’s modern direction the star took it, but keeping the hand carved scroll work made it feel sort of craftsman style and the curved legs sort of gave it an Art Deco accent. But yeah the star motif dominated. Love!
My son gets so excited when you upload. He is 8 and we watch you while my husband puts the 3 year old to bed. He has said before "Oh is there a new video of the really smart girl who makes cool stuff on tonight!!"
It def looks like it would be in an office in Harry Potter. My niece is about to go to Harry Potter camp. She's 11 and just read all the books this year for the first time and ended up with the most reading points at her school. Next Lord of the Rings.
No kidding on the music. I’m so sick of whistling drum beat music in the background of so many videos. Nice to hear orchestra type music. At least I didn’t have to mute it. Teehee
Creative doesn’t adequately describe this piece. It’s just so you Danie! It’s got a very old school Hollywood 1930ish vibe. Perfect for your office, the interior drawers and shelves are fantastic, you did a great job!
I just love the 1920’s Art Deco nod with this perfectly cut star. It’s giving me Jetson’s vibes at the risk of dating myself. Just delightful. Very Hollywood glam, meets adolescent magician for sure.
You are my beautiful, bubbly, sunny and magical fairy and I just so love what you do, who you are and how you express your creativity. I often think that we are asked to fit in boxes and all do the same, look alike and have the same interiors and prints on the wall… you have shown us that we are all special and we should express all our craziness and uniqueness without minding if it fits to standards or not. Thank you Danie! And a simple « thank you » is actually nothing in comparison to all you have given to us all! May the force always be with you!
Normally, I would bristle at covering beautiful wood, and there is some fun texture going on on the front of that thing, but that STAR IS BOMB! And it feels appropriate to the era of the piece, so good work!! 🤩❤💕
I'm so happy to see you incorporate more metal into your projects these past few videos! I am a jeweller/metal artist and work with mainly silver, brass and copper. You bringing metal into your home decor is so fun to see for me! I am inspired :)
My lord this cabinet took a lift beyond imagination. Wowwwwwwww girl you have to have your line of furniture. Just think over it. You can create magic. Keep going. Wowwwwwww
I still cannot understand why she hasn't at least a million subs! My initial thought when I saw the thumbnail was the dark academia style she has in her guest bedroom.. it is a very magical piece though and can fit in an office setting for sure!
RADICALLY COOL!! A few years ago I found a curbside free cabinet. Took it home and redid the whole thing. I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do, sooooo, I just decided it would come to me in a dream, and it did. Because that's how I roll :) Did a lot of dry brushing with a multitude of colors, added gold leaf, cool glass knobs, aaaaannnnnddd, Bob's you uncle! It's one of my favorite pieces. Thank you Danie for always staying you and sharing your passion with us :) Peace out!
We will not unsubscribe after seeing you dancing or screaming or just being crazy cuz that's the exact reason we subscribed to your channel 😚 You are a ray of sunshine 🌞🌞🌞
Danie’s Magical Mystery Tour is waiting to take you away, waiting to take you away! Roll up. She’s got everything you need. Satisfaction guaranteed! Roll up for the Mystery Tour. Danie’s coming to take you away!!!
I wish Danie did consignment work like this because I would LOVE this in my home. I have very little DIY skill which is why I love watching her “create” wonderful things.
I don't really like this piece but I know a lot of people do. I really love your creativity and the way you let your thought process takes you to magical places and create fun stuff. 🥰✨
The music today made me feel like I was in a Game of Thrones/Stranger Things fantasy video game. And I LOVED that the subscribe button came up when you were at your weirdest, Danie. That should happen in every video. It's why we're all here in this corner of the internet.
I was surprised when I found your channel. I don't see many diyers or home renovationists that speak my style. But hunny you scream it! You've given me a lot of inspiration for our 120 year old house we purchased over the pandemic. Thank you 😊
Hm, I think this is the first project I'm not feeling. I love the stars and the dry brushing on the details, but I feel like the whole piece was flattened by the black stain and the interior color. I applaud you for taking chances and trying different approaches, though!
This may be the best thrift flip ever! The only thing I would have done differently is left and polished the wood inside. But I am not as magical as you, so I totally get your choice!
I think I would have done two things differently. I would have inset the metal detail so it was level with the wood, and made the inside a darker shade of red. But those changes are because that is what I would adore in my home. It's in your home and it's completely gorgeous as is, and its going to suit your office so much! I can't wait to see that diy! And no. I will never unsubscribe because of your dancing or puns - its what keeps me going.
Words cannot describe how AMAZING this piece turned out! Your creative approach and processing combined with work knowledge while not easy, works! Blessed and safe days!
LOVE THIS! I wish you would have shown more of the fix on the front - it came out BEAUTIFULLY- the fixing of things that don't go perfectly is my favorite part of your videos. It happens to us all and that is where the tru magic lies. You are so very talented!
Danie gurl! You’ve totally outdone yourself on this flip! I love the star, the cherry color, the stain, and that you added the “brass” flecks onto the doors giving thee star more dimension! Just Wow! 😍😍
I love it, I really feel the extra touch, with the splatters on the doors, finish it perfectly and make it truly magical. Also it helps us other diyers to show how to cope when something doesn't go to plan and how to fix and improve things xxx
The cabinet is what is known as a tallboy, it will have been a gentleman's cupboard in a bedroom, the drawers will have been for gloves and other accessories, judging by the style and type of wood this will probably have been produced in the 40s. Love what you did with it.
I respect very much your vision and your creativity. I loved the original wood piece, the color, the warmth… I would have tried to preserve it but then again that was your vision and the results are lovely.
Ohhh that’s beautiful!!!! No hate no shade but one of the reasons i love danie is that sometimes i just get tired of the same old neutral palettes, cottagecore bohemian mid century modern minimalist beige white rattan terracotta stuff hahahaha. I need something DIFFERENT and danie delivered 😍😍😍😍 so creative and that pop of colour?? I haven’t seen that colour used in youtube for so long!! Bring back stronger pinks than pastel/millenial pink!!!!! We love to see it!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I love the color you painted on the inside. It adds character and something most people miss. I also love that you added the brass tone color to the edge pieces. Thanks for sharing.
You are officially the DIY Queeeeeen!!!! Absolutely gorgeous as always!!! Love how you show that things don’t always go to plan but it can always be fixed. Chefs kiss needed here!!!
Your editor was FEEEEELING the music on this one! Loved the choices. I was like, where are they going with it... then I realized, ahhhh stars, fantasy... Yup I'm here for it. Another win Danie!
Yes yes yes yes yes! This is the kind of inspirational material I truly need! I have an entire empty room set aside for my dark arts and crafts and it absolutely want you to continue making witchy items that I can covet!
Not that there was anything wrong with the cabinet they way it was before (apart from the wear&tear), but you took it to a whole new level. Well done, Danie! That berry colour looks amazing and so unique.
If you had set out to make a fantasy cupboard, you might never have chosen that dreamy cranberry for the interior! This project worked out just the way it was supposed to. Love it all!
That Game of Thrones/Pirates of the Caribbean-esque music at the end is just 😚💕 So yes, either of those worlds for me. This cabinet is marvelous. Also, the star (when it was being made) reminded me of the star on Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman tiara.
Dani you’ve done it again I love the cherry colour inside it’s so beautiful. I would never unsubscribe your crazy fun personality is exactly why I watch . You are a joy x
I LOVE everything about this...except for the paint inside 😛 I'd choose an emerald or forest green. But I love you love it, and the styling was ah-mazing 🥰
We would have called that cabinet a lowboy and it would have been used for clothes storage. Love watching where your imagination and creativity lead you. Hello from Australia.
You are a gifted creator and artist. Love the detail in the cabinet wood and how you antiqued it to bring it out. Love the starburst accent. Love the raspberry interior and love that the cabinet has so many different size shelves/drawers! Not a fan at all of glamorizing the occult so would probably not have chosen black. Hell is real and it is eternal. Bring people to the light and especially children.
I LOVE the outside of it. I'm not a huge fan of the pink at all - I probably would've left it wood, but if I'd painted it, that kind of peacock-tinted navy colour would've been stunning in my opinion. But since it's a piece for you, what matters is that it's a colour that you're happy with.
I am obsessed 😍... when you did the cranberry color on the inside I was getting my teenager bedroom vibes because I had a hot pink and black room. But with the brass and the finishing touches it didn't end up feeling that way. It is magical and amazing 👏
I am a thrifter. I love the vibrancy the raspberry color adds to your amazing redo on your cabinet! The star is awesome! 2 Thumbs up Danie!!! Happy Saturday!
Danie !!! WTH !!! I’ve got goosebumps !!! Sister, you’re absolutely freakin amazing, your mind took you here to the final product and it evolved to the ethereal being she is now. P.s. the wall around the light switch is hilarious !!! 🤣🤣🤣
I’m now trying to think of something I can copy the star detail on in my own home. I LOVE this. I was unsure about the pink at first, but ended up loving it.
