[@marinaoliveira8989]

Danie's brother having the exact same goofy vibe as her it's just perfect 👌🏽😂

[@lindaohnstedt2470]

I really can't understand how Danies channel doesn't have way more followers 🤔 she's the best ❤

[@carrie1777]

Word ❤️

[@czeliaca2734]

I was just writing the same!

[@jennifer6278]

Right? I think she should be up there with the Sorry Girls!

[@celiachavez9997]

New follower! I love her!❤

[@April-vc9rq]

She's so good that in mind I just assumed she had like 500K subs or something.. Slow and steady!

[@louarch9001]

How does Danies hair always look amazing... like seriously, it always looks so good🤔😊

[@DIYDanie]

ha! thanks Lou Arch xx

[@lechatbotte.]

I have Danie hair envy

[@mrsdsdesk]

I love her eyes! So pretty

[@dianeangelo2227]

She's a beautiful young woman. And I love her sense of humor. I think a stair runner would help soften the dark paint and brighten the stairwell. I am exhausted watching you work . We removed carpet from our stairs, sanded, sanded, did I say sanded? Stained the treads and painted the risers. Phew...

[@sharonsteele618]

I love the color.

[@gossamyer]

"If you move a plant, you have to replace the plant" sooo true

[@TamarLitvot]

That’s going to be my rationale for buying new plants after we move

[@MelDidItHerself]

When using paint stripper on furniture, I have found it very useful to put a big piece of SaranWrap over the stripper as it sits and let it sit longer than directed and it REALLY makes the difference of it doing the heavy lifting and scraping for you. I know you already put in the elbow grease but if you have another project that comes up, I would recommend trying it to save your arms!❤️ Amazing work as always my friend, I always look forward to these with my morning coffee on Saturday mornings!

[@ShallaBal82]

That edit of Dani's face on Superman's was the best thing. Well done, editor!

[@shalalalakissdegirl]

My favourite moment as well!! :D

[@larageinoz]

Yes for rug runner ! Something like a dusty pink with a little bit of a forest green touch ?! Just an idea ! Anyways I love love love the end result! You’re such an hard worker and very inspiring

[@ohjessika]

Kenobi in the background going "omg hairy stairs?! lead paint?! omg!" I can't wait for the second part, you have been really busting your butt lately and doing such an amazing job!

[@Caroline39207]

Kenobi sleeping on the couch was the best part of the video. sorry Dani I know you worked very hard but nothing tops that 😅

[@EleutheriaBeth]

Come for the DIY... Stay for the crappy puns🤣 love them so much Danie 🤣

[@JennaMcCallister]

Also! I agree on the runner, especially with doggo paws running up and down. 🖤

[@thekimchitaco3311]

That dark walnut made it. The perfect nude lip for the soft glam look. The right garnish for the enticing entree. You know what I’m getting at. Fantastic job!

[@melodypetry-johnson2309]

The wall is awesome. I do think a rug runner down the stairs would be awesome.

[@nilakshiroy6]

Your family, your jokes, your work ethic, your eagerness to learn, and of course dear Kenobi and Geoff, don’t know what I appreciate more. The whole bouquet ( erm..... garden , cos Mum’s there too, and sorry forgot his name, your step-dad , and Jess and her dad ) I think ! Thank you for this super entertaining weekend video. 😍❤️🥰😍❤️🥰

[@SamSam-yb3ls]

Aww Kanobi's clearly tuckered out after all the barking. Danie, you're a machine! And that project looked like a deceptively small beast so, well done on a beautiful job!

[@capena82]

My coffee and a Danie video = my Saturday morning routine

[@kristinewells961]

Thank you for sharing how physical and difficult these projects can be! Love your honesty❤️

[@monicarizzaviduya8967]

I'm here for my fellow Studio Ghibli dork. Hi, Danie! I love how down to earth you are, but super talented at the same time. Ashitaka and San gave their approval. :))

[@islandergirl88]

I’ve binged so many episodes lately. Just pure joy, energy, knowledge and talent!! So much entertainment. Thank you Danie! 💕🌈💕

[@reniehandler2595]

Yessssss.....a rug runner down the steps would look FABULOUS!!! You did a great job!! Love it!!!

[@ldshadowlady]

inspiring as always 🤩

[@DIYDanie]

Thanks girl! ♥️♥️

[@victoriahill7857]

Very well done 👏. Hard work paid off.

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

My favorite part is the black stairs. The total look is perfect, but I’m all about adding touches of black to any room.

[@TraceyOfficial]

You know the Diy table you did for Alexandra (the one with the funky legs). I think something like that as a bannister DIY could look phenomenal. And it acts as the display for the wall. I am so inspired by the hard work you put in

[@bobbiesindhar5554]

All the elements came together so beautifully

[@elena_a-2023]

Danie, one of the things I love about your creation is that you first have this vision for whichever space you are changing. Then, you “revised” as need it. The end results? Magic!

[@sarahjaney97]

I felt very much not alone watching you try to open the drywall mud 😂 every time I open it, its like a five minutes battle

[@carriem8903]

It looks great. I love the result. Thanks for showing us how hard it is. Too many shows make everything look so simple, and then when it is hard for me, I feel like I am doing it wrong.

[@just_megan_elle]

That textured wall is EVERYTHING! Trying to design myself a new office/studio space and I think that is JUST THE TICKET! 🎟️😄

[@beachysands4036]

Thank you for showing that diy isn’t always easy or fast. Looks great!👍

[@JennaMcCallister]

Dad jokes to the MAX and I’m 💯% here for it. 🖤

[@leanneblakley9191]

She puts dads to shame!!

[@belindaaguirre8181]

“Please don’t unsubscribe”....I laughed so hard at that.

[@mistyduke880]

Beautiful! View from the living room is so much nicer. Love the textured wall.

[@sarahkirby3918]

Love the entire makeover but especially loved the forest sprites from Princess Mononoke!! I have some in my home as well 🥰

[@kimhaas7586]

What the heck are those things? I can’t find them in the Google. Are they forest sprites? forest beards? (That’s how the closed captions translates what she’s saying). Honestly, I need someone to spell it out.

[@syahadahridzuan5413]

@@kimhaas7586 they're forest spirits (shishigami) from the movie Princess Mononoke. You should watch the movie, highly recommended it

[@sarahkirby3918]

@@kimhaas7586 They’re called Kodama! They’re forest sprites though from a studio gibli film called Princess Mononoke 🙂

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who struggles to open a new drywall compound bucket 😂

[@TamarLitvot]

Or other tight lidded containers

[@lilkatdevil]

Doesn’t matter the size or if you’ve opened it before they are difficult.

[@poshhippie9055]

I love how your family helped out, I felt the love! It truly looks amazing....simple, elegant, organic. The trailing plant was the chefs kiss at the end. Tip to keeping ivy pest free, give them a shower once a week or so, works like a charm. Can’t wait for part 2!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@andreasmarinakis609]

Oh I feel so sorry for your dog he’s working so hard!

[@TamarLitvot]

Our dog works equally hard and is exhausted at the end of the day. Napping, eating, barking a bit and keeping us company are tough jobs but Xiao Di is up to it!

[@naomivincke]

I died laughing with the "Bob Ross slaping brush" eddit hahaha

[@manjitkaur7623]

Yes to the runner down the stairs! Love the textured wall idea! ❤️

[@Autism_Forever]

You can use flat posters or glue/nail highly textured empty picture frames to the wall as an architectural detail. Thrift stores usually have a lot of really textured frames. This way, they will not get knocked down when you carry something up :)

[@mosthighlyintrovertedlady3319]

A cool solution for tiny stair walls would be a mural! It makes the space seem bigger and it's really pretty. That textured wall turned out great!

[@annettearties8538]

I love what you did, however, I read dark stairs could be a little scary. What about lightening up the top or adding runner? Or add lighting to the wall? (Scones)

[@marvymaxee]

Well, it’s a stairway to heaven now! So nice.

[@terrythomas2735]

I was thinking the same thing lol

[@rtd1791]

My favorite bit is the textured wall; subtle but creates an old world mood. It’s in keeping with the age of your house.

[@lisamartin704]

"Please don't un subscribe ". Not a chance! The stairs and especially the wall with the texture look amazing. And I love when your family comes and works with you.

[@SaraMaurnoRealtor]

Its gorgeous! The wall reminds me of the venetian plaster I used in my kitchen. Since it is a high traffic area you might want to look into waxing at I don't know how to work on your technique but you have to wax Venetian plaster so that it's washable.

[@sarahcurrence7642]

GREAT IDEA!

[@annecatherinesumugat9450]

I almost forgot what day today is, then I saw the video notification, reminded me that today's Saturday 😅😅😅 btw, I love your blouse 💕💕💕

[@TheOverratedDarkness]

Same 😂

[@danichudleigh1244]

I fell asleep watching a different Diy Danie video and had a dream that Danie was in my house renovating my stairs and woke up to this video playing.

[@Beruthiel45]

I helped my Mom about 65 years ago to do a similar finish on a wall where we lived then, but we just used paint and rags. Scrunched up the fabric and dabbed it into paint in several pale colours and dabbed it onto the wall overlapping the colours. We called it distemper then, and it looked pretty nice but no texture to speak of, naturally. We were all do it yourselfers in those days and still are, it's cheaper! 😊 I painted my basement stairs with porch paint about 30 years ago and it's still good. It was terribly smelly though, back then, had every window open for days. Fabulous job, you've done it again! 😊👍👍👍

[@CatBATd4rklycu73]

Have you ever thought about making a Spotify playlist of your favorite music to listen to while working?

[@not-a-ghost2206]

I love that you show the progress! This way we can estimate how long this actually takes and how much supplies you need 😊👌🏽

[@SuperBlondenerd]

A rug runner would just cozy it up even more! Also, I love you incorporating more and more of your nerdy self into your videos :)

[@soupafleye]

aww the cute lil mononoke forest spirits 😭 it looks sooo good. that wall 🤩 and the stained “railing”. so chic

[@bishop_correia]

Lovin the vibes i’m getting from today’s vid

[@lizzfrmhon]

Danie you can split your large projects into more videos so you don’t work yourself half to death for one video. We will keep watching!

[@createcece6360]

Oh my gosh, I'm not alone in this world with my ideas of creating textures and giving character to an old house with new walls! Just finished my staircase as well in my 135 year old house!😊 I just stopped asking people's opinion. Because you get that look where they cock their head to the side and squint their eyes ever so slightly. I knew I had lost them!😊 Anyway, I love your channel and so very nice to know that I have a fun crazy sister that understands me!😂

[@judith4158]

You have such vision, it looks wonderful with the room it's in. Plus, love you're wearing a cameo, like your home, old blended with contemporary. I'm more your grandmother's generation so remember when they came back into style again, 1970's?

[@Millie_n_Hank]

I am so impressed! I was very skeptical of the wall treatment when you first mentioned it and started, but you did an amazing job. The stairs look so good! Love the black paint.

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

I'm with you 💯% on the wall. I really thought I wanted her to keep the shiplap. But I'm amazed at how cool the textured wall looks, and not the 70s texture. Luke you said, Venician. 🥰

[@mapleleaf0]

OMW, I've been whining about the 1,001 staples per step used on my 2-story set of stairs (multi-generational 2-flat situation) when carpet had been installed some odd number of years ago. But wow, what you had under your carpet on one run of stairs wins the "Oh crap" prize for sure!

[@amandajoanne479]

I am GEEKING OUT over the textured wall thing, omg..... I can’t get over it. This is totally something I would have come up with. I am completely obsessed with natural textures and colors. So yes, I am IN LOVE with that wall. THE ART AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS. I can’t. I do love the prints from Desenio, I want to create my own, and now I have the inspiration!

[@princessbc9791]

Although most ppl complain that black floors are hard to keep clean, they are hard to pass up. The stairs look beautiful! Great job per usual!

[@carlyh6913]

Love the textured wall, also getting rid of the overhang made a huge difference, as does the fresh new trim around the stairs 👍👍👍

[@HarryPotterFreakLena]

can't wait for the second part

[@francesvicioso3200]

Your brother and I are just like my brother and I! I haven't seen my brother in a year and a half and this made me smile. Thank you!!!

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

Usually there’s flaps in the edge of the paint bucket. Their intended purpose is to be lifted so that the lid can be lifted and removed with them. Try it out and you won’t need any tools,

[@cristinaflogerzi647]

We need a DIY stretch the body montage before we DIY...I don't want a broken Diane. Hope she is pain free soon.

[@teresaaf1335]

Really, really nice! I don’t think you need a runner type runner. Maybe just the tread alone type if safety is a concern... but in black so you don’t ruin the modern line. I don’t envy you that scraping job. My brother would have bailed after pulling up the carpet. Can’t wait to see part two.

[@dedhampster4730]

For that textured wall I would love to get my dremel carving bit out and put a few organic groved in the wall and then paint in gold veins or something like that. Love it!

[@Siren599]

HEY DANIE. The stairway looks brilliant and I look forward to part 2! I’m really concerned about you being in pain - I understand it’s an occupational hazard but you need to try and reduce the long term effects from now. Please see a chiropractor and/or a physiotherapist, it’s most likely your nerves in the spine being impinged with all the neck strain and prolonged bending.

[@shondawade6110]

Such a great transformation! I wonder what a lovely subtle pattern or design on the riser of the steps would look like of you added that? 🤔 That might be even more amazing

[@KyriakiG]

Ok this wall is just great! I love the idea of a distressed runner but I would have picked a lighter wood stain! The overall view is just gorgeus!!

[@moonpie21012]

MURAL! MURAL! MURAL! That wall is crying out for a beautiful painted mural!😁😁

[@aevan8tor]

It looks fabulous!! Love how it makes the living room feel complete too

[@2906masa]

why should only dads have so much fun being creative when it comes to jokes? because of you we should start calling it mum jokes as well. lots of love and admiration from Slovenia!

[@tajat866]

Slovenia 😊🌷

[@rebeccalcampbell85]

Love the textured wall! You could use your Cricut to do a wall decal since a gallery isn’t practical

[@rachelgilbert7481]

Ahhh , that accent wall is so subtle but makes such a huge impact in the entire space . I’m OBSESSED ! 😍

[@teresabell1014]

That turned out so good, I wouldn't think the staircase would make that much difference. Love that your family helps sometimes. I always look forward to your videos, which is surprising, because I could be your grandma and I live in Texas !

[@shivampandey2334]

Honestly why do you think your jokes are lame they really makes me laugh 😀

[@cshaslag]

As someone who has that kind of texturing in her home, it will be a pain in the ass if you ever decide to repaint. That being said, I do love your new stairway. Well done!

[@beverlyf6603]

Use a paint sprayer! They are fairly affordable but you can also rent one. This is the solution the pro's use to paint heavily textured surfaces.

[@agneswyrozebska9489]

I love what you did to the wall. I think a vintage runner on the stairs would look nice.

[@lovefaith6285]

I've learned that what may seem like a "small project" can take a week to sometimes 2 weeks to do! When that happens I repeat what you say, "Just trust the process." And yes! Music is great to listen to while in the process and when it's all done, it's such a rewarding feeling!!! Thank you for your inspiration! Really liked how this came out! An idea for your stairs: What about peel&stick on the verticals like how Alexandra used on a stair makeover??

[@gabiiiriiivera]

i literally clapped at that reveal--AMAZING JOB, DANIE!!

[@tracygarrett3952]

Your editor missed a good one, when you said "Throw the stripper down" I was so sure there'd be a stripper doing something or other to relate. LOL

[@arandomwoman2310]

Right?!?! I caught that, too! Great minds…

[@AlliRoots]

Looks incredible, but also your hair at 16:36 ! There's nothing better than feeling accomplished whilst having an amazing hair day!

[@amyweaver7413]

Beautiful transformation. That wall does look like limestone - stunning! I agree that a runner is a great idea. It’s practical for safety and allows you to add another layer of texture and colour/pattern.

[@sarahleslie3808]

It looks amazing! (have to admit I kept waiting for some bad stripper puns to pop up in this one 🤣)

[@Madisondmclean]

Omg knobe just gets cuter and cuter, the stairs look good too! 😂

[@kimberlysidor9427]

A jute runner would look amazing on your stairs. The plaster wall looks awesome and your forest spirits are 👌🏼. Love it!

[@lorriewittig9066]

Yes in love with the te turned wall! Along with the stairs and wood finish. You are talenn-ted! "It's only natural to get another plant when you move a plant."

[@star1222light]

Are you adding a railing?? My anxious heart is quaking

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

Yup. Mentioned at the end.

[@myxochi]

Bad day - I really needed this lift. Thanks Danie. The step by step process is going well. Is Corbin your “step-bro” now? See what I did there? Have you considered burnishing the wall? I watched a pro do the same in my house. At the end, he used a steel to “push” and “polish” the final coat.

[@robertogomez3698]

Nice work Danie. My favorite part was when your family (brother and father) pitched in to assist you with the work. I love it when family members work together on a project such as this one. Now for the work. I liked the brown board, haha. I think it helps to transition your living room to the staircase; the wood grain also looks nice and "natural". I also liked the choice of prints. Once, again, nice work Danie.

[@tonyascott602]

Yes! I was going to suggest a rug runner! As usual, great job Danie!

[@greenlover8235]

Love love love 👌 Your sense of humour 😘 thanks a lot for this 😂

[@Sunnbuzz]

Danie: This is a really calming activity (applying the textured wall) Me: My OCD is screaming, NOooooo, the wall is so pristine and smooth, it really hurt to watch lmao Said with no hate, and all love

[@sandrastrobel1254]

Your brother needs to join you more often. You two together are a riot but I still love you best. Lol, I love your stairwell. The wall is wonderful. It all looks so professional. Great job.

[@swiinka]

Awwwww those kodama water thingies are life! So cute

[@tamaramonster9027]

The 80's called, you can keep the textured wall ;)

[@niva8043]

You might consider adding led light for the steps because it will be very dark and a potential death trap walking down the stair.

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

Or the rug runner.

[@kathybeck5957]

WHAT A TRANSFORMATION!!!! LOVE the idea of a painted runner.

[@zendenbali]

Kudos for doing the best you could on keeping the stairs and removing the toxic paint vs. just replacing the wood all together.
