[@jessicab6177]

I like that you asked what the room was going to be used for and what ages. You didn't just plow through without taking their needs in consideration. 💖 You actually listened to them. 💖

[@DIYDanie]

Of course! This room isn’t about me! 💜

[@RafardhanYuwana]

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@debstrout1844]

My only worry is. . . .how am I going to have the patience to wait until next week to see the next episode?!? This is turning out so gorgeous! Thanks to you all and all the companies that have donated their time, talent, products, supplies, etc to this deserving organization to help the kids. You can feel the love and excitement by watching this video. Dani you are truly one in a million!

[@marshawargo7238]

I just pretended that Danni took the week off, so I could watch them back to back! Now here I am, one week later saying, I think she should paint the desk legs the same as the walls so they don't stand out in the glaring white😊 I do still have to watch the second part yet...

[@dianagatti9223]

West Scarborough Neighbourhood Community Centre is so thankful for this room make-over. The children and youth love the space!!

[@DIYDanie]

👑👑👑👑👑

[@thegreenquill1052]

Hooray for helping kids! Speaking from my young-life experience, sometimes the things and spaces provided to kids with disadvantages are plain ugly. That doesn't help their (that didn't help my) sense of self-regard. You showed these kids that people believe they deserve beautiful spaces. Besides, beauty and comfort inspire! Good on you, Danie, and good on your team! Important work.

[@Glim246]

Such a great comment. I think people tend to think about the idea of it just being pretty and pleasant. A kid understanding that someone made something special just for them can make all the difference in making them feel cared for. I'm sorry to hear you didn't always have that as a kid but I hope you feel now that you are supported and loved.

[@thegreenquill1052]

@@Glim246 ❤️ thank you. I'm well loved. Hope the same for you.

[@thecunningkrugereffect]

So nice to see more of Josh and Marnie this video! They seem badass🫡

[@DIYDanie]

Marnie and Josh are the bomb!

[@elizabethfarmer4648]

Thank you for helping the children. I love that you give back!

[@anneporter123]

She's a doll.

[@sfx387]

A little surprised you went all navy/dark blue in the basement but look forward to seeing how it all comes together next week

[@thelittlecaravanner7748]

I'm surprised as well, the space feels so much smaller.

[@TrishaLynnSpins]

I adore you DANIE! When you make over a space, and bring all your fun energy, collaboration, and silly dances, you fill a space with that joyful energy! Along with your amazing creativity, you share all of that with the people you do these spaces for, and THAT is the HEALING aspect of your gifts! 🫶🏻

[@DIYDanie]

Thank you Trisha! 💜 that means the world and I couldn’t agree more! Xo

[@thelittlecaravanner7748]

This is going to be a "trust the process" makeover for me, I think. Very curious to see how this turns out.

[@kimberlyrudolphcap1789]

Love seeing Josh, but it was super cool seeing Marnie again! EVERYTHING is FABULOUS, can’t wait to see the finished product. Those youth and adults are going to be so stoked!

[@DIYDanie]

Marnie is the best! 💜

[@loriegabidel]

I have just started watching this video, but I already know I'm going to cry during the reveal.

[@DanielleSRussell]

It was so lovely to see the team from DAP participate, it makes me feel such warm and fuzzies about how many DAP products I buy.

[@michelleryder9814]

Saturday mornings are the best time of the week because of you! I look forward to seeing what you have planned. I suffer from depression and I can't tell you how you and your channel make me forget what is going on around me. I am so thankful for you and those around you. Brightest Blessing to you all! See you next Saturday.

[@halfrice]

Oh my gosh... I'm so excited for you to show us the finished room! This is already looking so good! Also, I wish DAP, Flor, Home Depot and all your sponsors are available in my country so that I can show my support to them seeing how much they have helped you in this meaningful project. Thank you for doing this Danie!

[@lilithabunni]

where do you live? i might be able to help

[@lechatbotte.]

SaturDIY with Danie!!! Woo hoo. Let the magic begin. The sorry girls did this all of Canada being improved one place at a time. I know this is going to be epic.

[@gigi-jeff]

Nothing beats watching kindness…. Beautiful….. Che Bella!

[@deborahgeelhood843]

“And Bob’s your uncle” HYSTERICAL 😝🤣🤣

[@CallMeHabi]

Danie helping youngins?! Sign me up! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@DIYDanie]

Heck yeah! We got to support the futures of our youth 🙌

[@hunterhanna-yox7828]

I’m literally tearing up. Not only are you redesigning a space for your youth community but Home Depot Canada donated money toward this project. ❤️ y’all are amazing

[@Beruthiel45]

Looking forward to seeing the final result! Brava Danie, and Marnie and Josh too. 👍💕 Many thanks to all the sponsors for their generosity, and knowing how kind they were definitely makes me more inclined to use their business in future. ❤ 😊 Never hurts to be kind! It's also interesting to learn about new and useful products 😉

[@deelirious]

Love the projects that give back to the community.

[@susanharris6959]

Can't wait for the next video! Great job Danie,Marnie & Josh! And a big shout out to Home Depot Canada, Dab, & Ikea Canada for donating to such an Awesome project!

[@sandrae5609]

You really excel at creating beautiful spaces for others. It was so smart the direction you took. I can’t wait to see the finished space!

[@letitiakiu]

i'm loving the space already!!!

[@stepharoniencheese]

This is incredible Danny! Congrats to how much you have grown as a creative, love to watch your progress! 🎉

[@TheHexedLibrary]

Not me over here crying over the kindness of Dap Canada hahahah This looks like it's going to be so amazing!

[@pama.6410]

It was definitely time to improve that space. Your changes make the space look "richer". Hoping the kids feel more valued and cared for with the details you are adding. Can't wait to see how it all comes together

[@JaQuiManitas]

This looks great so far. I wish you could change out those fluorescent ceiling lights, and just do some lamps or sconces around the room.

[@LE-se5zi]

Thanks Danie! My son (11) attends the summer camp here and hopefully will be able to use this space in the future : )

[@user-qz1hf4nt5r]

Appreciated hearing more details about the Dap products- mixing with stain, etc.! Loved seeing the collaboration and enthusiastic support everyone offered! Excellent job!

[@RoxaneJ14]

The chairs do look comfy and functionnal but I was wondering how the hell you were gonna make them work but baaaamm they look perfectly intentionnal with the contrasting teal and complimenting wood tones ! Great job !!!

[@anneporter123]

Danie I can save you one step. After you goop on the wood filler and while it is still pink and wet, take a wet brush and brush over it to even it out so that it is like the paint, nice and level. It's very easy and then you don't have to SAND!! Saves much time and effort.

[@anneporter123]

I should say that you can actually apply the wood filler with a wet brush if the wood filler is fresh enough. (The stuff I used today was not.) I can't believe how well it works and they don't say it on the label.

[@loriegabidel]

Also, I love that pink DAP drydex. It is literally the only way to make sure I wait the appropriate amount of time before sanding because I am so impatient.

[@hammerchickdesigns]

Love this opportunity for you! You did an awesome job. My My My, the chairs really pop in this room.They look amazing with the wall color and rug! I'm so excited to see the reveal!!! 💜💜💜 When are we getting the purple hair back? I like your hair, but I really miss the purple. The purple matches your personality...Your sparkling personality!!

[@Lilreedo87]

It looks amazing! I can't wait to see the end result! I thought I wouldn't like the red chairs with everything, but I was wrong. It pops in a really good way!

[@Learning_to_Lovett]

What a beautiful space, so far. You are doing right by those kids and they are going to LOVE IT!

[@Gandellion]

Community centre!? Go Danie!! I’m so proud of you girl

[@terrioakley2250]

Great colour choice 👏🏻. The dividers look great ! Can’t wait for the reveal 😊

[@DIYDanie]

I can’t wait to share it!!!! 🫶🫶🫶

[@boigeorge1149]

Seeing this project brings me back to my dream of creating a youth program in my hometown.

[@sazennonumber]

This is heartwarming. So many people with good will came together. 💖

[@sabriciastrandhagen7099]

Y'all are doing a wonderful thing here! I am so glad you had such wonderful people and companies to donate the products to help with this large renovation for a wonderful cause. Dani you and your crew are awesome people! Awaiting the video for next week.

[@melissacasad3003]

I love that you're helping the community! It is inspirational and the students will love that space!

[@alicejump2290]

Such a beautiful endeavor combined with your creativity indeed makes for real magic! Transforming young lives in a learning and supportive environment!

[@thesnoopydance645]

The home depot footage makes me want to go shopping with Danie !!😊

[@agresticumbra]

Oh wow, Danie, y'all are transforming that space. Can't wait to see what the kiddos and staff think of the completed project. Thank you to the sponsors/donors! BTW, my basement hall is swatched with 6 different shades of deep teal, and cool green, to figure out which one would be ideal to repaint that space. Not sure which hue will use yet. Decisions, decisions!

[@DIYDanie]

I can’t wait for everyone to see the reaction! Ohhhh you got a tough decision ahead of you! Go with your gut feeling on it!

[@agresticumbra]

@@DIYDanie Next weekend will be the reaction, correct? Oh, there are 3 folks who live here, and this hall has our home theatre, utility room/laundry, and two offices, neither of which are mine, off of it. 3 opinions working to make a decision.🖤

[@julied3588]

Hey Danie this room is looking great! Thought I would share a project I did…using Flor carpet tiles for a wheel chair accessible living space for my mom. The chair rolled easily over the carpet tile, and softened the acoustics and in case of a fall, a bit of padding. Easy to clean, and can’t say enough good about their product. I’ve also used it in university classrooms…

[@chantellescrutton8266]

This is such an awesome collaboration! Thank you @DAP Canada and @IKEA Canada for contributing to such a fantastic project! 🎉

[@courtneycrews]

OMG I’m so excited to watch this!! This is exactly the type of work that I’m interested in developing further as a career path. It’s interactive and experience design, and it looks at how the physical structures we’ve built help or hurt our overall well-being. I’ve seen people pursue this work in the healthcare industry, but I’m really interested in applying methods in academic settings like this. It’s essentially a blend of psychology/human development and interior design/architecture to make our spaces more accessible and human-centered. Love it! ❤

[@Lifeinlumos]

You need to go across Canada doing this

[@goodviews3597]

Your room/space transformations are outstanding. 🥰

[@lindas5511]

Wow Danie you are the best. I love the colors you are using as well as all the wood tones. It gives the room a homey warm look. Also love the rug and think it would look great in my own projects. Thank you for giving back

[@DIYDanie]

Thank you!!!!! 💜💜🎉🫶 I can’t wait for everyone to see the finished space!!

[@blaireshoe8738]

THAT'S what it is, the warm wood tones, YES! I usually find blues and other cool tones stifling, and didn't like the wall color-- until the wood was added. Cozied the whole place right up, and I dare say even helped me to understand how people can think of blues as "calming". They definitely compliment each other very well. It's coming together nicely! Can't wait for part 2 :)

[@florberlinski613]

God bless all the people who makes this proyect true 🙏

[@jacquelinecasey1361]

When you started painting the dark teal I was “oh no it looks like a basement” 😮😅 The after proved me wrong👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😆

[@naturalgalwilliams]

As a former worker of HD from the states also thank you😻❣️

[@shirleygeorge6351]

Oh boyyyy! That's out of the world!!! Danie.. absolutely gorgeous ...just can't wait for the "Open Sesame" moment😅❤🎉

[@hayleyperrault3509]

So freaking beautiful I’m speechless. Amazing job and I love how you always approach these videos with a budget and a dose of reality. Thanks for being you and going what you do ❤

[@lz738]

Fantastic so far! What a cool project! However, I think you're going to regret using the Flor tiles. I have them. They show dirt so easily and are get worn-looking really quickly. Then your only option is to replace the tiles and individual tiles are pricey. Also, they shift and move a lot during use. Little spaces are always opening up between the tiles as people walk on them. I have a feeling those Flor tiles will be replaced in a couple year with regular commercial space carpeting. I think you should have left the floor the tile that's there, and just added a commercial quality area rug for the place where you want kids to relax and chill out.

[@ChrisBury20]

Dani you are such a good person. Knowing you really just wanting to work on your own garage but instead taking the time to help a youth center with their needs. I want to Thank Home Depot Canada, Dap Products, and The Flor Company for all the donations to help out the youth center and Dani's remodel. Great Job so far, can't wait till next week!

[@quinnzelreign8775]

This is my aestetic. I absolutely love the color (I'm painting my front and back door a similar color). I can't wait to see the final product.

[@lifecoachwithlora1481]

Love ❤️ the collab with all the groups...truly wonderful 😊

[@marychabot618]

Now I'm craving cinnamon rolls

[@rebecarod1475]

Fantastic! Those kids are going to be thrilled!

[@martamanfrin5675]

I love this type projectt for helping others with many brands donating! I hope you can do more 😍 Can't wait to see the end result!

[@larrymorrow9373]

Love your hair. Very cute on you Dani!

[@TamarLitvot]

Love this! All your signature creativity and fun and also helping others! Congrats on putting together so many pieces from so many places to make this happen. The outreach to the different companies and the coordination alone could fill up a lonnnggg episode (not that I would want to watch that). Love Marnie (more Marnie please) and Josh. P.S. clearly Kenobi was paying you back for not allowing him to roam free around the garage and endanger himself!

[@bouncyblueboxXD]

The Gardiner needs that concrete DAP

[@charlottenloek]

Yaay Marnie's back ☺ It seems like you have such a great team surrounding you Danie. I think the paint fumes might have gotten to you a bit when talking about nap length though 😅 I can't wait to see the end result.

[@JamieJumbles]

What a wonderful gift to your community! It is going to be beautiful ❤️

[@KallistoEismond]

What a great project, a wonderful Team and so many help 🥺 I love it

[@barbmundell8147]

Wow fantastic - everything is fantastic- can’t wait to see next week and yeah ! To the companies that that helped bring this together 🎉🎉

[@ltlt3477]

Beautiful blue! And I am checking out those florr tiles right away! That's an awesome product. I've seen foam ones, but not those. Very cool! Can't wait to see this all come together! What a beautiful donation group! And, MARNEY! (Marnie? Marny? Marni? I'm sorry!)

[@vickytimmerman1365]

You led that rug like a professional! Now this is what I would have done... Because you have a whole wall of desks I would have started at the opposite side... With a full square that way you would have only had to cut one wall and two side walls... But you're probably sleep better at night 😂

[@paniconelmstreet6838]

I love the floor so pretty

[@helenreid7022]

I can’t wait till next week 😀 ❤️🇨🇦

[@lovefaith6285]

I'm so excited to see the finished look! The suspense of waiting until next week is too much!! 🙉🙉✌💜

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

So cool looking and I will be so excited to see more of the DIYs going into this space. Really fun video to watch. I have catalogs of Floor and they have so many beautiful carpet tiles and so cool this color matching the walls. Have a beautiful and blessed rest of your weekend. Sending love and hugs, bye! 😍🤗💝💖💜👋👋👍

[@merklingassoc]

Love what you're doing, such a great way to share your talents with your community. However, my OCD brain is stuck on the mix match of the carpet tiles. Love the color, but my brain needs a completed pattern. Lol. Great job so far, looking forward to part 2. ❤

[@lindadelacy9330]

WOW! Looks so great already!! can't wait for the next one!

[@56freckles]

Oh man I'm nervous about those red chairs that they want to keep!! That plus green walls might get a little Christmassy!

[@lorimartin3724]

Such a great project for your community. I was impressed with all the corporate donations. Great work Dani.

[@dgray8267]

It makes me so sad to hear how much you miss your purple hair. Have your tried Overtone? It’s a color depositing conditioner, so not permanent, and not so damaging. They make colors for darker hair too, so no bleaching. Shine on! You’re so inspiring! 🎉❤🎉❤
