I love this! And I love this sponsor! I had a swiss army knife with the scissors. I won it in girl scouts and had it with me through my tour in the military, until I lost it in Afghanistan. (I was injured and flown home so it got lost) But those little things can take you through anything!!
I'm retired and the only reason I know it's Saturday is because DIY Danie's in my inbox. I am also in the middle of a main floor bathroom makeover and you can blame Danie for inspiring me😀🇨🇦❤️🌺
The only reason I know any days of the week anymore is because of my upload schedule 😂 So im with you! I hope my vanity dresser upcycle inspires some direction for your bathroom! xxx
@@DIYDanie I got a 100-year-old dry sink that I made over into my vanity. I made sure that it fit because it's a very small room and it did. But in the end it kind of overpowered the room so I have to think of something else. I would really love to show you the work I did. I am kind of proud of it.😀
@@lovingmayberry307 If I go by your name I would say that you live in Mayberry, Georgia. Which is 1087 miles from me. I live just North of Toronto, Ontario Canada. Maybe we can become a duo of silver haired DIY'ers.😀🛠️💪🌺
I love everything about this! If this is your bandaid fix, I can’t wait to see the full reno. Your attention to detail in reconfiguring that dresser is super impressive. Well done! 👍🏻
Turning the top dresser "drawers" into flip out/tip out ones would be a great place for floss, toothpaste etc and a way to utilize that normally unused space ❤
You can add a curtain rod and curtain across your laundry area so that you can close it off and make it look just like a powder room when guests are over.
I live in a 111 year old farmhouse and have always thought using an antique dresser as a sink base in my bathroom would be perfect. Now I’m convinced! Love what you’ve done with this room! You’re so talented and hardworking!
WOW! The reveal was truly stunning. I love seeing quick, bandaid fixes. They are more realistic for those of us who don't have a lot of DIY skills or are too nervous to take on bigger projects. You've inspired me to make bandaid fixes in my rental!
Love the holiday pressured makeover but more so the grandpa memory!❤- Even something small like an army knife. Grandparents truly play a large part in making us who we are. Lucky I had mine for as long as I did!!
I can't believe the "dummy" drawer that you created...You are amazing! This might be my new favorite video. Also the mess sink was such a good FB Marketplace find. Crushed it.
It's got that vintage modern feel and I'm here for it!!!!! The wash basin............I love the vintage feel with the washboard and the curtain. The moment you put that curtain up it reminded me of Grandma's house.
The dresser is perfect as a vanity. Having something vintage and beautiful being reused and loved, is something I appreciate. I also like the choice of the large mirror. It somehow doesn’t overwhelm the vanity. For me, the fluted light fixture is the perfect touch above the vanity. I really like this makeover! You are so talented. I truly don’t know what it would have looked like without the contractor Kenobi, giving his input. I understand he is also the editor in chief of the videos. It must be hard to compete with such a multi-talent, but you pulled it off!
So happy that I have rediscovered the DIY DANIE channel. I first came across this channel 2 years ago with the DIY SHOWER REFRESH video. We had just moved into our new home and I had visions of reno’s and refreshes, until well, life. So now I am here for inspiration and I am so happy I found you again. I have hope again!
The hand towel curtains are a great idea. I would not be able to resist drying my hands on them but they’re easy to unclip and there is the washer right beside them. Clever you. The laundry vanity looks terrific!
Let's just take a moment to appreciate your amazing DIY skills. As someone who has been following your channel for a while now, it's been amazing to see your DIY skills strengthen over time. It's given me, as I'm sure many others, the confidence to tackle a neglected space in my home. Thank you for being such a light and inspiration.
For anyone who's ever owned an old house your powder/laundry room has a feel of familiarity. It can be pretty overwhelming to try and figure out how to make it look good without a major makeover. You've done a beautiful job. I'm so impressed with your skills on that dresser, you made it look easy. But I know it wasn't.
It's absolutely amazing! So beautiful! The dresser makeover created more storage space and you have enough to store everything out of sight! The color on the wall, the new light, the bronze details are gorgeous! But the most genius addition is the second sink you can use for the "dirty" staff. The DIY curtain is AMAZING! I am inspired by your videos and motivated to try new things. Thanks so much for sharing. You will definitely enjoy this elegant new laundry room!
Congratulations! We are proud of you, too. Lovely. What I liked the best was how you showed us exactly what you were doing -- by show and not telling with the voice, just typed words and very good camera angles. Thanks for showing how you use your Siss Knife. My grandfather had what he called the Swiss Army Knife. Why? Well, he used it in WW2. Then, he passed it down to a grandson. Hopefully, you will continue to use the knife in all your "back work" with us along to watch and learn how to use ours. Thank you.
Howdy Danie - Great Job!!! I have been a florist for 50 years and only use a Swiss knife for flower designing!!! A real florist only uses a knife NOT a pruner for arranging flowers. Pruners are for pruning. Pruners pinch flower stems which does not let water flow to head of flower. My most favorite Swiss knife is pink.
It looks beautiful Danie! I don't know if you can fit it in but you could also install a curtain or nice shower curtain in front of the "laundry" area that hides everything away when guests are over. We did this in our bathroom and it does a great job.
i just wanted to say that i love you. i'm so stressed right now and watching your video just makes me feel so calm and happy. i really appreciate you. ♥️
I've been having your videos in the background for the past few months as a "buddy" in the room while I do my own DIY and home organization stuff. Tonight I'm lying in bed and really "watching" this for the first time. AND I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING AT YOUR LIGHTSWITCH DANIE WHAT IS THAT🤣🤣🤣 I mean I LOVE it but also was completely caught off guard by it lol.
Beautiful! When you can please seal the top of that vanity. The jointery is called pin and cove. It was used between 1871-1900. It’s an old piece and I hope it can be around for a lot longer. ❤
Small makeovers like this just have my heart 🤎 it looks amazing - even just the paint was a game changer. I can’t wait to one day see the full on reno!
This was wonderful. The only small and useful addition would be either a wooden dowel w/ brackets or brass towel rod mounted to the bottom of the wall cabinets for a place to hang dry laundry.
Absolutely loved this this is the vibe I want for our bathroom when we renovate... Just a little darker but omg so beautiful!! I also paused and yelled for my hubby when I saw the joinery as he's a custom cabinetry maker and installer here is Muskoka and he thought this was so cool sad he's heard and seen photos but hasn't actually been able to find a piece with it in person yet so cool !!!! But I'm so excited to see how this space grows :)
Danie first I would like to suggest put a little tray under the soap dispenser because I did the same to stop dropletts going on the wood top (which they did in mine and discoloured my top) and mark the beautiful wood. Any water splash also ruin the wood. Maybe even put extra varnish on the top. Story about the Swiss knife I did gifted my brother in low many many years ago. He use to drive buses for work and one day the knife slipped out of his pocket. He was so upset. He told one of his co workers what has happened so the hunt for the knife began and luck was on they side they found the knife and hand it back to him. He was so happy. After about 20 years he still have it and take it everywhere. 🎉🎉🎉 Now your little makeover must say even if you never do anything else with the place looking fantastic and really don't need anything else. You should be proud of yourself. Wondering about how Jeff feeling to have an incredible handy wife.😊 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Just read your comment👌re poly sealer.😊
What a great makeover! Love the new vanity. Such a good find. The little towel curtain to hide the bottom of the wash basin was inspired! Well done, Danie 👏👏👏
I thought the kit from Home Depot were some modern art for the bathroom. The art looked, well interesting and then I found out what it was.🤣 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
25 yrs. ago when our first grandchild was expected we repurposed a dresser and nightstand that was not only oak but they actually matched. but also free....a side of the road find. We already had a rocking chair from our middle son who was soon to be that first time dad. Because the nursery was a little on the small side we decided to not only to re-do the dresser but add a new top that would act as a changing table. Well three months later not only had we sanded, painted and stenciled a border around the room but I found material that was the exact copy of the stencil and made curtains, a crib skirt and chair cushions for that rocker. They and we couldn't be happier with the results. Fast forward 17yrs and a move to another srate , that much loved and used dresser became our new vanity. We later had the joy of 5 more grandbabies and continued the remakes for each of their nurserys. We still search for road side treasures . Love your remake The mirror and light are perfect.
great refresh. It looks beautiful. Since I hate the look of any washer and dryer, I may have put up a curtain to cover the whole washer area. A colorful floral curtain in all the moody, beautiful jewel tones you use. This may require sliding the upper floating cabinet to the left a bit so the rod could run wall to wall. Curtain can be easily slid to the side for laundry access but hidden away when guests come. The space above the laundry sink would be a good place for another rod to be used for hang drying items.
Hm, I all of the sudden remembered my dad used to have a Swiss knife. It will be the first holiday season without him. Thank you for the memories Dani.
Nothing better than watching DIY Danie 8 min after she drops the vid! So excited to see this revision!! I got my coffee and my green, snuggled in my chair. ❤🎉
Dani, you did such an amazing job on this!! That mirror fit perfectly above the vanity, and the mix of vintage with modern was 🤌🏻 chef’s kiss! And the little pops of burgundy were just enough to add color without going overboard. LOVE ❤
Beautifully done. The changes you did really brighten up the space. Love the dresser to vanity and the mirror is perfect with it. You made some small changes with the biggest impact. 😊❤
I know I’m late to this video but this was great! And that joinery for the drawers is called Cove-and-pin joinery. It was only used between 1871-1900. So that dresser is mighty old!
I love this bathroom/laundry room makeover! Years ago I had a similar pig that I slapped some lipstick on. I hung a closet rod from wall to wall in front of my washer/dryer and hung two pretty curtains so I could hide the washer/dryer when I wasn’t using them. It looked like there was a shower behind them and it was a great way to hide my appliances. The mirror in your makeover is everything! It is gorgeous!
Oh, this is way better than lipstick on a pig! I would be proud too. This girl got a full on facial, airbrush foundation, a couple of hair extensions, etc lol. Very nice!
Love watching your videos every Saturday morning. I feel like these true DIY and not just re-styling videos are getting harder and harder to find on youtube. Loved this content as always Danie! Catch you next Saturday!!
Amazing change! 100% better. Now I can't wait until you can pull down that ugly drop ceiling. That vanity is chef's-kiss perfect. Also, love your hair!
Love when an eyesore space transforms this much vs. simple re-style. That's a good looking metaphorical "pig" . Sink conversion alone was impressive. Sidenote: credits for the song with female vocalist? I like.
