HOW MUCH DO I ♥️ MY DESK???🤯 Danie I practically sleep on it now! I've always said you are so talented it's scary!!! Thank your for the office transformation and my big girl desk. The whole experience was such a blast and I’m still smiling! You are the best!!Margot 💕♥️😘

[@moniquebrown18]

You are one lucky lady! Enjoy it!

[@sazennonumber]

It looks great, Margot! I bet you will have a much better vibe when you are sitting there and working. A desk by a wall feels a bit lonely. You seem very lovely and I'm happy for you. It all looks great and Danie did a great job... I think she did especially well because it's for you. Happy working!

[@tiffanycave5974]

Wow great desk, great hars work. Amazing friend❤🎉

[@suzy1676]

Gorgeous 😍 ❤

[@maryhart637]

The style of desk is called a Partners Desk. Two people can use it but only one has access to the drawers. You resurrected that sweet piece. Love what you did!! Yay, Danie!!

[@CallMeHabi]

Not Margot hiding her DIY fail with a frame...! 😂 Nice touch with the drawer inserts (my own ranking was n°1 / n°3 / n°2) 🤗glad that she loved it after all that work to even get it up there !

[@alicebabler9996]

Good heavens! The work you put into this desk, especially the issue with legs, is above and beyond! What a wonderful friend you are! The desk is gorgeous.

[@donnabacon4681]

Beautiful! As much as I like the white paint, for me, I would do a white wash just so you can still see the grain. Such detailing! I am now wanting a vintage desk! Older pieces have so muc more character than what is manufactured today, plus! more durable and longer lasting. The new room arrangement looks so much better as well. Doesn't look clutter, plus she is surrounded by her beautiful pictures. That child behind the desk is so precious! Just want to kiss that face and give a very long lasting hug! 🤗💝

[@AldWitch]

Danie, I really respect how hard you work to bring these pieces to perfection. Please always show the problems and how you solve them! 🛠

[@nicolei1331]

Margo’s vibes are superior. The reveal made me teary eyed. She is so deserving!

[@charlottenloek]

I need a Margot in my life. Exuding such warmth. I feel like a hug from her on the crappiest of crappy days would make everything better 🥰🥰🥰

[@kathywiszowaty4607]

That desk project certainly was quite a journey, but of course you took the challenge like a pro! Love how beautiful it turned out!!!✌️&❤

[@annagonzales4837]

You did exactly what the client wanted. That's all that matters. I think it came out beautiful. Love your videos. Your energy is positive and entertaining.

[@brikhouse22]

Lawd i was so confused on the faux drawer fronts. I thought you meant only one on either side (left to right) was a real drawer, not front to back

[@FoxzLady]

I wouldn’t have thought of painting that beautiful wood! Yet you fulfilled Margo’s wishes to an astonishing result❤️

[@annbrookens945]

I can't believe the final issues you ran into!!! It looks beautiful and is now fully functional for years to come! I think I would prefer the original wood over the white paint, but it does look pretty!

[@heidieho4470]

I appreciate how you embrace your oops moments. I’d get pissed off and leave so many times. Looking forward to the next project.

[@martinscorner5388]

Danie leaning casually against the table after saying that it needs a new spine - Love it 😂❤

[@ronshamc]

I loved when your hair was violet it was soo pretty. But I think your natural color is just as beautiful. I think it looks healthy. Weather violet or blonde I think you and your channel is AMAZING! Soooo entertaining and very informative 😅🎉❤

[@DIYDanie]

I miss my purple hair all the time. It felt like a true reflection of myself but letting it grow and be healthy has been good for it. Im learning to reflect myself in other ways now and I'm coming around to the blonde haha

[@denisepaul7274]

@@DIYDanie I love the cut too!

[@lindadick8451]

Love the brown and white. It reminds me of my grandma. She had her dining room walls painted chocolate brown and her trim and table and chairs white

[@SarahHorner]

Dreamy office. I’d have been tempted to paint the base but sanded and refreshed the top. Love that you kept the leather. Gutted about the legs, but that was a strong fix.

[@kimberlyrudolphcap1789]

It’s awesome that you rearranged everything for her! You are an amazing creator and person!

[@shirleycarter2451]

Boy that ended up being a lot of work, and you smashed it out of the park girllll. It went beautifully with Marrgo's colour scheme, and right choice on wallpaper, think I'd have framed a picture frame also with wallpaper as extra summit summit. As I'm personal a natural wood gal, think I'd have sanded it and used a clear wax on the wood. Love how you really match the person's ascetic. ❤❤❤

[@TheLballou]

I love what you did. But, sigh, would love to have seen that desk refurbished to its original state. That oak was sooo beautiful! Margo loved it, and that is what counts. Keep doin what you do, you are a DIY magician!!

[@sabriciastrandhagen7099]

You did such a beautiful job on the desk. I know Margot is going to love this desk for a long long time!

[@ConservativeVeteran]

Oh my! The wallpaper you put in those drawers is stunning....the right choice! Margot is precious!

[@clarissasteier5951]

Her desk turned out so pretty & uplifting! I could feel how much this meant to her and I think everyone deserves a lovely spot to work. My personal preference would have sanded the desk down & finished with a matte clear stain and/or bleached the wood if necessary. The wallpaper you picked was adorable, I loved it! I probably would have searched for agesss for just the perfect knobs and I’m glad that wasn’t my journey 😅

[@heylo757]

A BIG GIRL DESK! The joy! 😊 Didn't initially see the vision, but after that necessary PIVOT! (s/o Friend's Sofa Ep) with the simple legs, it put focus on the upper desk details. Brava! Just perfect for your friend.

[@angelabowman1614]

It's Gorgeous! Love the brown leather top with the White! The wallpaper in the drawers is beautiful! The brass knobs ..... perfect! The new legs look nice too! Great Job! Glad she was so happy with it.....😊👍🏻

[@janetboette7013]

Great job with the "hmmm" moment with legs! I would have been tempted to keep drawer faces dark wood to match the leather, but that's if it were mine. Totally fits for Margot. Love it! Happy Saturday everyone!

[@deloreslowndes762]

The desk project turned out beautifully. For personal taste I would have preferred the wood finish. Note to sell, check out entrance measurements before purchasing item lol.

[@damogranheart5521]

Oh, yeah! Can sooooo relate to that problem! Uff tah!

[@amandawells7945]

HOW do you not have 1million subscribers yet, Dani? You're such a joy! That algorithm has to get its shiz together!

[@Jj85741]

I would have the left the desk wood and fixed the issues. And kept the old hardware it was so pretty. This isn’t quite my style but glad it works for Margot!

[@Melbell76]

My girl Danie ❤❤❤ love you!!! You make my Saturdays so enjoyable and you are so full of life and when you are desiging and creating i feel you're happiness in that happy palce 😂i love it. Continue my beautiful friend😘😘😘

[@solangepolegar]

I was jumping with joy when you said the desk got shorter, since the “standard” desk size does not comfortably fit someone under 1,65/1,70m… I was screaming at the screen: Keep it like that, your friend looks on the petite size like me! We always have to lift the chairs to the point our feet don’t touch the ground to be at a “comfortable” shoulder level with the top of the desk. Oh well, not-tall-person problems 😂

[@nitzeart]

You're already creating and DIYng in your garage!! That's so awesome! So excited for you. Gorgeous desk. I am always a little sad when beautiful wood gets covered in paint but you puleld it off so well. I actually love it in white. It makes the details of the piece stand out ❤ I think is safe to say the end result was worth the all that trouble. You're such a good problem solver!

[@robindestasio7563]

You always go the extra mile to make sure your projects are perfect :) The desk is beautiful :)

[@jenknox2478]

The space feels very peaceful and creative. I love it!

[@donnaking102]

Now I need to refinish my desk. It's been used, one thing the twins didn't destroy 😂 Margot's desk is beautiful. You did so much work. The details on this desk were fantastic.

[@karenholt8441]

It’s gorgeous! I love how you rearranged the room too. I don’t like flat paint, but that’s just me. 💗🇦🇺🇺🇸

[@alexberg8662]

At first I was shocked that you wanted to paint it! BUT it's gorgeous! Love it, almost want a new desk now, too!

[@ArmstrongEA]

Margot's wall art of a woman behind the camera is so perfect!

[@DIYDanie]

She took all those photos! So beautiful!

[@tasadasa9363]

I love that the yellow of the flowers in the drawer match with the yellow of the Mac 🌼

[@xoxashley44]

Me too! All 3 wallpapers are beautiful but this made it the right choice IMO

[@leese.23]

I'm glad that Kenobi loves the new garage we get to see him a little more

[@traceybradshaw]

Gorgeous, and great save with the legs! I’ve been painting my desk pedestals for my new office today. We took apart a $100 bankers style pedestal desk and will be adding a new 2.8 metre desktop (with proper supports) so I can have space for work and space for sewing and other hobbies. We have purchased a new business and our first day of trade is Nov 1st - I will be doing admin and bookkeeping for both of our businesses, as well as employing staff and managing a payroll for the first time. It’s a big move for us, but the business is well established and we are taking over from the current owners who are retiring. 🎉

[@mariettedemarest5173]

Best wishes to you as you start a new adventure.

[@thepinkpooper]

This was wonderful! Margot's reaction made my day 😊

[@brendaokuda2158]

I just love your work. I do have a request, though. If it's not too much trouble, could you put together a video on diy gifts that you would make for friends & family for Christmas? Small things that those of us who aren't talented like you might could do? Most of my gifts are usually crocheted/knitted, but I'd love to surprise family members with homemade gifts that they would be proud to display in their homes. Thank you in advance. Much love & respect from East Texas 💖💖💖 All your work is always so exceptionally beautiful. 💝💝💝

[@robynsnest22]

This is beautiful!! I loved the oak but having it painted also looks amazing!! 💜

[@deborahmatatall]

What a beautiful make-over! You did some amazing problem solving, too! I love old furniture painted white. All the beautiful details show up and show off better. You do such a great job explaining your choices on the flips you do. This lovely desk really is a great interpretation of what Margo wanted.🌸

[@k.a.236]

What a labor of love! The level & quality of your craftsmanship & eye for every little detail speaks for itself. And the desk is beautiful & perfect for that space. So glad Margot loved it ❤❤❤

[@kristimoore7440]

I love the idea of natural light! What about using the plexiglass for a glass wall that can also double as a dry-erase space. You could then create a wood frame that can be changed out when you "grow out of" said window design. This could give you future opportunities for design changes. Another thought... how about a living plant wall?

[@Beruthiel45]

I love that desk! It's funny, because I had a brain freeze and kept wondering what's she on about, fake drawers, I see actual drawers, I'm so confused! 😵‍💫 Then, the reveal... Ohhhh! 😎 You take so much trouble Dani, bravo, it's really good to see you make things work. 👍😘

[@KatieLockton]

That desk is large and in charge. Chunky yet funky.

[@isamen373]

I knew as soon as I saw you laying on the desk that your leg was going to kick up 😂 Love all the effort to make it a perfect desk 👌

[@julrox4044]

You've inspired me! 🎉 I've been ignoring a console table in my house for about 2 years now, and after watching this, I'm ready to get to work on making it beautiful. You're amazing and I love your work!!! Btw, your snuggles with Kenobi made my heart happy 🧡

[@lindalehr1551]

Gorgeous desk and you gave her exactly what she needed and wanted ❤

[@junemoonz]

Girl, idk what you did with your hair at 8:50 but that color and cut looks so amazing on you! Like a little wispy fairy 🧚🏻

[@michellegierke410]

Hi danie! I am a furniture artist and a couple weeks ago I was scrolling through utube and watched your welding video you made of your pup and I was hooked! I went all the way back to your first video and watched every single video oldest to newest and am now caught up! I now want to buy more tools and start making furniture and all the other things you have created! You are an amazing artist and very entertaining 😊I thought I might throw a suggestion out to you as I know you paint a lot of white furniture and especially this piece with the details. If you put black was on the details and wipe away it really makes the details pop! Just an idea❤ Thank you for expanding my creativity through your own amazing work 😊

[@fireroum]

I personally would have kept the original handles, i think they match the desk better, but i love that this beautiful desk is now being given a second life!

[@tngirlz4622]

SUCH a beautiful thrift flip! Somehow the white paint makes it look more vintage. Love what you did with it - the modern knobs and wallpaper inside drawers make it so extra! So sorry about the legs, but it looks great with the new ones.

[@spectonkular7510]

Omg Dani how freaking sweet are you? I love how much love and thought you put into the things you make! You're a furniture flipping rock star 😊

[@beautybydesign_]

This was a labor of love and turned out beautifully!

[@susanharris6959]

I love what you did with the desk. You made it perfect for Margot!🎉

[@Serenewynter]

2 ❤s. 1st, I love the desk. At first, I wasn't a big fan of the leather and white finish, but the brass knurled knobs and the centre handle, work really well together. 👩‍🍳💋 (chef's kiss). 2nd, I'm totally lovin your hair Danie. It looks a lot more vibrant and full of life these days. Great job on both!!

[@mrscb5303]

That turned out gorgeous!! Now I’m not a white or flowers gal but even I see the beauty in that desk. I so wanted to jump through the screen and hug you when it didn’t fit! Of course you turned that into something even better. You are amazing lady. I’m so happy to have found your channel (way back when you did the Harry Potter bedroom) 🧡🖤🧡

[@danielleboon1543]

It looks great. I think the white is too sharp with that leather though. I’d have painted it a slightly darker colour (either ivory or dove grey). Or, maybe you could have gotten angelus leather paint and lightened the leather to more of a tobacco or russet dyed leather

[@pakelekia2552]

This is SO IMPRESSIVE! You are so tenacious and solution-oriented. You really amaze me.

[@auntnessy7340]

I’m incredibly impressed with your perseverance and problem solving. Beautiful work.

[@purplewombat1923]

What a journey that desk turned out to be! It was totally worth it though :-D

[@taekooksupporter6772]

I think the only thing I would have changed was I would have used the middle wallpaper choice in the middle draw for an added surprise and to mix it up a little bit. Aside from that I loved every bit of this change. It turned out so wonderfully even with the changes due to the legs needing to be removed to get it upstairs.

[@bobbienordlow2991]

WOW The surgery was a success. Beautiful.

[@copperpenny0209]

Looks great! You can't tell you had to change out the legs and I'm so glad you worked with the leather. So many times the leather is removed from the furniture.

[@laurens3857]

Dani I wouldn’t have done anything different to that desk. You did phenomenal. Sad about the old legs not working but getting it in the space is pretty important too 😂. Much love.

[@amyderrix5478]

This is beautifully perfect for the space and Margot ❤ only thing i eould change is maybe make the fake drawer fronts into extra drawers for extra storage but that would've been a lot of extra work for an already beast of a project 😅

[@janinedevilliers510]

You are such a star. You are clever, funny, entertaining and creative. I love the table, how it was styled and your friend/client loved it. Well done for finding solutions for some leg challanges. I need a new spine. 😂😂 Great job. 👏👏👏💖

[@c8linlovesyew]

I saw one of the paint colors you put on screen was called "Finley' which is my sons name, but then I went to look at her colors and another is named "Jocelyn" which is my oldest daughter's name. Almost makes me want to buy them. Both are beautiful green colors.

[@timeroses4163]

Very beautiful, i liked the transformation. The thing i would have changed additional, to make the faux drawers real ones for additional storage. Cause it's open in the room and you can reach it. To let it faux would be my decision if the desk were standing upon a wall 😊

[@mog-gyveroneill2500]

I thought for a bit second you were going to use the legs off Margo's old desk. My heart was in my mouth when you started cutting ... Great save though!!!! Awesome reveal!!

[@alipoole7061]

I was thinking please line the drawers when you brought out the paper!. Beautiful job!

[@naturalgalwilliams]

She cleaned up nicely!👏🏽👏🏽💐❣️

[@rebeccadunn4799]

Beautiful job! Love you Danie🌺

[@LoriAAndert-fc4xh]

Amazing! When you said you had to cut the legs I was like awe. But the new legs were fantastic!

[@JL11775]

Awesome transformation! Well done, Danie!

[@tracys8206]

I love it!!! It was worth all the extra work. ❤

[@frenchfan1278]

Your perseverance is commendable. I would give up on that desk .

[@nancyt2003]

Most beautiful desk I’ve ever seen! Bravo!

[@RealDracoYoutube4404]

You did an awesome job the table is beautiful.

[@starbrown1219]

What a labor of love. It looked amazing. Love the wallpaper in the drawers.

[@janroberts5241]

Loved the desk and the drawer knobs were gorgeous, a genius addition.

[@bridgettebollig2649]

The desk is great. I love the original drawer pulls but I understand getting new ones to pull modern into the vintage. Another gorgeous thrift flip!❤

[@centralWisconsin1]

Nicely done Danie!

[@tracycox2102]

Wow! The desk and the space is beautiful I love it! ❤❤❤

[@perrinepiperwenn6822]

Love this flip! Good job Danie 👍❤️

[@lindaroyal8161]

1st look at the desk - it's an awesome desk, love the style, the size is perfect and enough drawers for storage. I like the wallpaper liner you choose, she can pick one of the colors to paint the room or just an accent wall. Personally, I would have kept the original hardware, maybe clean it up with some rub & buff. Too bad about the legs, the replacements look good though and the ones you took off, I'm sure will end up in a future project, yet to come.

[@abeerali7834]

I love it! What a great find! You’ve done a great job tackling the hiccups 👍🏼👌

[@fleurjardin1012]

You did such an amazing job! It is beautiful!

[@teagancarnes4193]
