I bought two pillows. I'm hoping they work well for side sleepers. :)

[@Britbabe53]

I'm kind of miffed. Clicked the link ordered the pillow, big ole Cdn flag at the top of the site only to find out my card was charged in U.S. funds and shipping is from the U.S. Would never have ordered if I'd known this. No where in the order process was this explained???

[@francelaferriere6106]

@@Britbabe53 It's always that way, whatever you order, literally from wherever. It sucks.

[@mathieutosolini1494]

Mmmh same for me I just did not looked at it. I assumed it was from Canada. At first the website (on my phone) looked like a scam. The way it is made, with all the extras one after another. I took 2 pillows and 2 pillowcases. Did it press 2 and got 4 by mistake. Contacted the customer service right away. They took enough time to tell me that it was already shipped and could not do anything… Overall the customer experience was bad. I really hope they are good quality 😇

[@Britbabe53]

@@mathieutosolini1494 I found mine a bit 'unsubstantial' hard to find the dip for the neck and overall just a bit lacking. Too cheap for the price, 70% off and all. Still miffed at the US thing. :(

I have never wanted to hug anyone as much as I want to hug you right now. The fact that you even TRIED to build drawers is a huge accomplishment! You are the reason I got a compound sliding miter saw, jigsaw and orbital sander for Christmas…oh, and did I tell you I’m 65 years old? YOU are my inspiration to start doing bigger projects! Thank you, Danie. You are the best!

[@antoinette4568]

Danie, thank you for sharing not only your DIYs with us but also the frustration you can feel along the way ; it reminds us of all the work that goes into the projects you show us! High five to you! ✋

[@DIYDanie]

Thanks girl! I was trying to show you all the good and bad xo

[@dreamingofpemberly]

It's happened so many times. I've had a plan, and I'm either the tiniest bit off, or I'm just a couple boards, nails, or screws short and it just so gosh darn frustrating... Then you get so irked at yourself you start to cry.. So you're totally not alone. We've all been there at some point... And being the occasional diyer also, and lived in my first place for roughly a couple years now working with minimal tools, I feel your pain. I've had to start thinking like that older MacGyver tv series like now what, what can I do to make this work with what I've got before i have to go to the store....

[@Cottonstatecountry]

Girl…you are building a dresser!!! That isn’t something a typical diy-er does! That’s a PROFESSIONAL build! Give yourself some grace, although I can totally relate to being frustrated with not getting it right the first time. I personally am so proud that you had the confidence to do a project that meticulous. It speaks to your personality more than anything that might come out of your mouth. You keep going and I’m gonna keep watching. Promise. Next thing you know, you’ll be in some high tech space with all the best equipment. It turned out perfect!!

[@delphinelavendermorgan4627]

I wanted to hug you so badly. I can't see anyone cry out of sadness or happiness without crying myself. Happy that it worked out, looks great

[@rachelchanel7941]

You know, I think sometimes when we tend to be perfectionist, we’re WAY too hard on ourselves. Like you said, this was your first time doing this. I appreciate how honest you were about your frustration. You were right, you could have cut off the camera once things got raw, but you didn’t. This is why I love watching you… and like all of the builds are gorgeous! As far as having the best tools… while it can make your job easier, the way your amazing work turns out is a testament to your creative abilities. Definitely don’t be so hard on yourself… and enjoy your nap. Now I feel better if I start crying while holding a hammer.

[@robertadunn1572]

Hi , This is like only the second time I have commented, have been subscribed for about three years now I usually am afraid of saying something and it being taken the wrong way. I just wanted to say that with you leaving in your trails and mistakes makes me love you and your videos even more. I have watched other DIYers and they never show the mistakes and that's not true to life. So I hope you keep those miss haps and trail and errors in your videos because all of us that create in one fashion or another make mistakes and we learn from them and know that nothing is perfect in this world and be comfortable in knowing that the people we watch have issues as well. So Thank You for being real. Hugs from Lancaster, Pa. ❤🤗

[@amberlamoine1]

I stopped the video right after you said "see ya tomorrow friends" to type this up! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your frustrated emotions with us. You are brave and this is reality! I so much appreciate authentic content and REAL. emotions on anyone's channel. Your feelings are validated and again, thank you for being vulnerable. As Brene' Brown says, “Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.” Love you, Danie!

[@DIYDanie]

Wise words!! 💜💜💜

[@jeribondarcuri7884]

Ah Danie....you should be VERY proud of yourself. I don't know how you do everything that you do. I struggle just to read the damn instructions. Keep the faith!

I've had the project that was so difficult that I broke down and ugly cried over. It wasn't going to get done unless I did it so I pulled up my panties and finished. You pushed through, great job. I have watched endless cabins building tutorials because I want to build kitchen cabinets, yours was real. I will need lots of tissue. Great vlog. Thanks

In a world where people need safe spaces & can't take rejection gracefully anymore, I have so much respect for you for overcoming. I'm 60 yrs old & lost count of all my frustrating screw-ups YEARS ago. What truly proves the character of a person is that they face their problem & persevere. So proud of you for not just persevering, but also being a roll model for others to follow. Good job!

I make quilts instead of bureaus, but the concept is the same; if a measurement is off, then the whole piece is off. I have learned some choice 4-letter words that send the cats running. Then I pick up my seam ripper and get on with the task of unsewing. I love watching you; you are a great inspiration!

[@thisisbethm]

I was right there with you in the 1/16th inch issue. This terrifies me about building complex thing. My other hobby is sewing and I can fudge because fabric stretches-lumber doesn’t!

Learning how to DIY is learning how to fix your mistakes! It helps all of us to know that we aren’t the only ones to feel frustrated when we have to re-do something. Thank you for keeping it real! Also, don’t forget to give yourself credit for the mistakes you didn’t make! ❤

We all need a little breakdown moment once in a while to regroup. Knew you could do it. That dresser is gonna look amazing.

[@wonderwonder30]

I know you were frustrated and wanted to just give up but Danie, I am so proud of you (not that you need validation from me 😂). Your skills as a diyer are truly incredible, you have stepped up your game and I’m glad to see in the end not only did you get there but it came out the way you saw it in your head! High five here, my friend ♥️♥️♥️

[@iheartplzzbmine]

As someone who has anxiety, its really helpful to see you get frustrated and emotional. I can get stuff in my frustration and its a whole ordeal especially when adding anxiety over tools (newby DIYer here, hi👋) . Your last video with the drywall came at just the right time and it really helped me figure it out. Thank you!

[@okayheykae]

Chiming in to say that I'm really grateful that you put up the hard parts instead of just the shiny parts of making things! When I watch people build things like this in videos I know that if I tried it it wouldn't go smoothly and I'd get frustrated and be like "the people on the internet can do it and I can't so I shouldn't even bother!!!". It's super helpful for us to see that things not going smoothly is sometimes just the power of editing and the whole picture is that all of us are learning and this stuff is hard! Thanks for taking us on the journey - I'm really looking forward to seeing when it's finished 💜

[@P4NC4KEZ]

I have been in that place crying over a diy. I am so thankful you shared that because it's raw and real and happens. It took a lot for you to share that so just... Thank you.

Oh Danie, when you were so frustrated, I just wanted to give you a big hug and let you know you got this. I'm so glad you persevered and didn't give up. You are one of the most talented DIYers I've seen. Although I'm sorry you had a frustrating time, I'm super glad you left that part in because you're right, you are not alone in these moments. It lets the rest of us know, we are not alone in our mistakes either. Can't wait to see the finished space. It's going to be awesome!

[@meganjacoby9184]

As I watched your plans my first thought was Dani won’t have ANY trouble with those drawer slide hardware but that would be my worst attempt to diy …..drawers and glides are SO much more difficult than one would ever expect. Thankfully you showed it’s not easy and were real and still got it done. I’m always impressed with your resilience! Looking forward to seeing the finished project!

[@northwoodfalls1403]

Yup. Felt that moment of utter frustration and disappointment in ma bones. Drawers are HARRRRRD!! Drawers and doors. You’d not think they would be but man they are the reason “The Devil is in the Details” is even an expression, I’m sure of it. Professional, experienced carpenters with alllll the tools can find themselves in that moment of wanting to burn the world down because a drawer is making their life miserable. Thank you for sharing that moment. It’s more inspiring and encouraging to see people encountering problems and challenges and figuring out how to go through them than to see a quick montage of happy clappy perfect endings. You are levelling up your skills with every one of these projects and that is PRICELESS. The freedom you will have moving forward to take on ever more challenging projects …. And we will have seen the progress and will have that in the back of our minds when we undertake challenging projects, too. Very impressed. Well done, Danie 😊

I totally understand that frustration. I recently(like last week) built a frameless cabinet and was off 1/16 on where I put the euro hinges and have to fill and redrill the holes. I definitely cried. So sucky! One thing I changed for drawers is I use blum undermount drawer slides, which have so much adjustment that it helps so much with that frustration with drawers. Also, I make the drawer boxes ever so slightly small and shim where I need. It looks great so far! Excited for the next episode!

Oh huni, I really felt it for you. I've been there too. Making everything fit perfectly when you're making it from scratch is hard. Draws are one of those things that even big companies get wrong and their working with lazer pro machines. Sometimes you just have to take a breath, leave it for a while and come back with the fighting spirit, in that space of time an idea usually pops into your head and it all works out. Not always a path we choose but gets us to the same destination. It's already a stunning piece of work, looking forward to seeing it all finished. 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 PS. Pups playing in the snow and giving that loving support always give us a second wave of energy and strength to see it through ☺ 🤗 🤗

I was literally crying over a drawer build issue one week ago. This video encapsulated how I felt at the time, too!

[@elaineburroughs5471]

I did the same mistake a few days ago: my drawers were a fraction to narrow. I fixed the problem by replacing the inexpensive (but they looked so well made) drawer slides with quality (and expensive) ones. I used only the tabs to attach them and they adjusted without problem. No more budget slides for me!

Hooray for you taking on such a daunting project and completing it even when it went sideways - you haven given me the courage to go back and redo a round custom cushion project that got sent to the corner when I realized part of the very obvious pattern was upside down Thank you Danie for doing the hard stuff!!!
