*FOLK ART* Maximalist Garden-Inspired Vanity Dresser Flip

[@Oliver_All_Over]

Does anyone else feel like Danie is like doing really well lately? I don't know how to put it but lately her videos feel like she has been really happy and exuding with her personality. I hope she is dling well I know we want the best for her! Also I don't know if she has an editor or if she is doing the clip insert jokes but they have been hitting especially well lately too!

[@DIYDanie]

Thank you! This means a lot. My editor and I put a lot of effort into our edits to make it enjoyable, funny and light-hearted. I am feeling really good lately! I’ve been working hard to balance my creative-self off camera and I think it’s been helping me on my daily projects you all see 🙏❤️ the validation is so kind to read that’s it showing Xo

[@HorrorStoriestoTellintheDark]

I agree. She’s radiating. Glowing. Happy. She’s got the dad jokes. The dad jokes are getting better too. And we love that for her. She’s also beautiful. Absolutely stunning inside and out. Just a natural 🩵🩵🩵 love watching her happy go lucky personality while watching her diy. (I know sometimes pain can be hidden underneath humor) but Dani feels genuinely content 🩵

[@MrFahrenheit9]

Somehow seeing you paint and that beautiful whimsical music as a soundtrack made me tear up. It might be your most beautiful creation

[@DIYDanie]

I wanted you all to feel how I felt while in the process! It was such a magical feeling to create this piece xo

[@MrFahrenheit9]

Thank you and your amazing editor for this!

[@rocioiribe5841]

That's how I felt too! I was like, "why do I wanna cry??"

[@TamarLitvot]

@@DIYDanie And your creation is magical itself. Definitely a secret garden!

[@janetiremonger9609]

Danie, you outdid yourself on this one! It's absolutely beautiful. And yes, I teared up at the end. Just a masterpiece.

[@jehnim29]

Dani it was 1000000% the right call to make this two episodes!! I'm obsessed.

[@TamarLitvot]

I was so sad when this ended. I'm so glad there will be more on this wonderful creation.

[@kaylajaned6764]

Honestly I could watch a whole video of you just stenciling and painting on furniture. It was so soothing

[@amaena]

I literally came to say exactly the same thing. Could watch the painting alllll day !

[@MsJulietG]

Totally agree, so relaxing to watxh!

[@xingcat]

There is something so magical about tiny, detailed, repetitive patterns that make folk art pieces so beautiful. I can't wait to see the stained glass!!! This was terrific!

[@margaretbaham9827]

You do realize it's part of a set,right?!!? You can't just stop here!!!! It's so beautiful!

[@heatherburrill]

😂 …many years later…

[@oaklandcookie]

Those are also my feelings but it's too much! Maybe the person could give it a shot for themselves.

[@marshawargo7238]

I know right?!!! As soon as Kaitlyn said set, I thought series! Wouldn't this look great in Dani's greenhouse? Probably have to add on some rooms to it though😂!!! This is Fabulous & I say this as a person who doesn't like a lot of different colors together on anything, plain no print shirts, tops, skirts or dresses! Bedspreads, sheets or curtains! But This, Wow, Amazing❤!!! All the color shades & print design, chefs kiss😘!!! Only two more pieces to go, maybe after aircon is installed😅?!!! (that's sweat on the lil emoji)

[@TamarLitvot]

This piece is so wonderful and such a standout. You wouldn't want the other parts of the set to be the same -- it would cheapen them all, make them look manufactured. Maybe the other parts of the set could be sanded and painted a solid Weeping Willow green so they would connect but be more background.

[@deeswigert]

It’s beautiful ❤

[@Bentons_Place-DIY]

When I was around 14, an old, old man who was always smiling and laughing told me the secret to being happy up into the golden years was this: NEVER STOP BEING A KID. Yep, that simple. You spraying yourself with the waterhose reminded me of this.

[@deborahpalmer8298]

Absolutely fabulous! When I saw the colour palette, it was completely unappealing to me. Watching you transform a plain dresser to mind blowing masterpiece proved how completely wrong I was. 18 months ago my soulmate of almost 40 years lost his battle with cancer. Since then, I've had no desire or motivation to get back to my sewing, painting, crafting, and thrift store furniture refinishing. THANK YOU, for stirring up long forgotten desires to create something. I'm so blessed to have stumbled upon your video!

[@jengonthier6632]

A. Hair and eyebrows looks great B. I love how much you are honoring the client. It looks amazing so far. Especially the strawberries and folk birds

[@TheShizNat]

How healing and soul-soothing this lovely furniture will be. After a breakup, she can look at this and feel happy and know she is worth all the time and attention to detail that went into it.❤

[@donnabacon4681]

That"s sweet!

[@lovingmayberry307]

Beautiful comment! 💜

[@xchrysantha]

This comment made me tear up, that was so beautifully stated. And so true.

[@MRPandoraHartDR]

I love William Morris and so I'm loving this Folk Art meets William Morris' Strawberry Thief!

[@jwschopf3157]

First off, the attention to detail you put in this piece is what really elevated it. Yes, you could have done it quicker, BUT it would not have the amazing feel it does. Love, Love, LOVE!! Second off, showing us the time it takes to do, brings us from KZbin magic to realistic expectations if we wanted to try and replicate this. Also, the are Birdmaids and Birdmen 😂

[@vickinoeske1154]

Absolutely. Art takes time and you can see the love and care that Dani put into this piece.

[@paulas_lens]

Wow, THIS episode is a perfect example of how *WONDERFUL* KZbin can be a facilitator of a commuunity building experience. Everyone's comments are magical, adding to Danie's magic...I have hope in humanity.

[@taylormccarty977]

I immediately thought of stained glass when she said she didn’t like that metal detailing! So glad you’re going for it!!! 😍

[@MichelleM-ud1hx]

Hi! I'm speechless! This is truly magnificent Dani. I'm nearly 64 years old, and I have never seen such a wonderful transformation in any DIY....that term doesn't come close to the Artist, and Talented person you are!!! I could type an entire page of comments! Kind regards, M.

[@deniseloper4002]

It’s so pretty! She will be happy

[@LaLoba73]

Dani deserves 1 million subs for this dresser alone!! I am in love with it!!! Wow! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ That was SO MUCH WORK!! 😮

[@Clovergirl7934]

This a WONDERFUL and completely timely series for today’s economy. Let’s reimagine these pieces and keep them out of our landfills. You are so creative and imaginative with these pieces and interpret your clients vision so perfectly. Well done you!!

[@TamarLitvot]

You are both an artist and a builder. You combine the structure, building and engineering aspect of DIY with your ability to create art. That's what makes your channel different from other DIY channels (and why I love you so much). The dresser is amazing and beautiful. I can't imagine her not absolutely adoring it.

[@missmania8845]

I 100% agree with your comment! This piece goes much further than just a diy. This is truly artist material. We know Danie can diy and build but this... this shows the vision of an artist! Love, love, LOVE it!!❤

[@xchrysantha]

DANIE THIS CAME OUT SO, SO BEAUTIFUL! My mom is Spaniard, and the designs remind me so much of Spanish motifs. This was gorgeous. And like, yeah the deadline gad to get pushed, but you put so much love and respect and effort into this project that was so worth it. Also Katelyn's quote about having a secret garden till you can build your own outside, funnily brought me to tears. I'm at a difficult point in my life where I'm already 32 years old but still living in a tiny little bedroom, and it's been making me depressed and restless. I recently started collecting and caring for plants, and they have brought me so much hope and joy. So Katelyn's words very deeply resonated with me in an ironically literal way❤

[@juliaharper7526]

Absolutely gorgeous. I would never have the patience to do this.

[@Sunnbuzz]

This style is so far from what I like that it actually gave me anxiety watching this ! That said Danie did such a beautiful job and I can appreciate the sheer effort involved and I'm sure it will be received with love and cherished for years

[@vickinoeske1154]

The birds, the strawberries...❤❤❤ SO many drawers. Beautiful!!!

[@wendyhall1395]

I use a spray mister to mist down my surface when painting with chalk paint. It's a game changer.

[@peggykrogh6763]

This dresser is absolutely gorgeous !!!!! Thankyou for sharing this in two episodes. 2 episodes means more time to admire your painting and creativity.

[@CosmicJennifer]

This is so artsy, whimsical, fantastic, wowza! I am impressed with your patience and love of detail and this piece already looks so stunning, I do hope she loves it. I would burst into tears if someone would do that for me, CANT WAIT to see the next episode and the reveal! ❤❤❤

[@drewrose8215]

WOW‼ This is beyond gorgeous. Can’t wait for the next episode and client reveal. Seriously considering trying this on my own very functional, though dated furniture pieces. Vastly appreciate knowing how long this makeover is actually taking, so I know what to expect. Dani you are a special gift. Hats off to making it messy and beautiful simultaneously. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@jillcochran9794]

Wasn’t sure all that was going to go together… it’s beautiful!!

Persistence paid off especially in the heat of summer. Fabulous art detailing. If I was your neighbor, I would give you a hand to finish this but you got this!

[@drbeecreates]

I respectfully disagree. Watching you paint for a whole episode is the most fun I've had all week ❤🧡💙❤️💚

[@melsolomon8256]

I Love ❤❤❤❤❤ this it reminds me of a piece you would find in a museum. You got talent

[@YayaBolender]

It reminds me in the 90’s when I was painting all my own, my friends’ and finally customers’ pieces of furniture, yes, it takes a lot of time, even stenciling, and all the details, especially as I used to create my own stencils with some oiled Manila thick paper, but you’re right to go with these stencils which are more appropriate for what this viewer wants. In the 90’s, the theme was also: flowers, leaves, plants, gardens, birds, butterflies and fruits, why not strawberries. It was so much fun! Thank you for bringing me back to these great, vintage now, memories… Wow! I am vintage… 🙁 Trends come and go but nature remains always very trendy, our Earth beauty. I really love your dog 🐕

[@kellilandry2825]

Danie! The attention to detail! The focus on giving your client what she wants! I’m not a floral person for design but this is beautiful and I absolutely love the colors! Can’t wait for next week to see the completed product. ❤❤❤

[@juliaowens4566]

26:25 I actually find it so interesting watching you paint (great music choice for the painting montages btw! 🤩) because I love seeing how you think through which colors and stencils to use and where. That’s definitely what I struggle with on projects like these! It’s great to watch how you tackle that as you go!

[@pattyharrison6386]

Oh Dani, It's STUNNING DAHHHLIN, We lost our AC on that insanely hot/humid day in NC it was over 90° in our home. It took them 2 days to get a new system & the day it was done, it broke down❣️ We were overwhelmed with how hot it was & how long it took to get the AC installed.

[@stephaniecarbno]

It looks so good and it's not even finished yet! I feel a strong urge to go thrift a piece of furniture and repaint it all folky like. I love folk art painted furniture it's just so beautiful. What you have done with this piece is amazing and I'm SO excited for the stained glass!!

[@marycorreia4359]

This piece is so gorgeous, as is the joy that flows through you as you were creating this piece, Danie. I could tell how inspired you were, even with the challenges. I had the thought of putting stained glass in that opening too when I saw it, and I audibly shouted YESSSS!!! when you shared your plan. I can't wait for the next episode! Thanks so much for being you and sharing your youness with us.

[@amandasafterword9512]

This made me so emotional! It made me think of a mother painting a set of furniture for her daughter and I just feel love pouring out of this creation 🥹

[@FrenchMonkeyBD]

At the end, when it became multipart, I thought, if she doesn’t want it, I do. It’s beautiful!

[@foxymama9203]

Oh my gosh, that is breathtaking!!!! So much thought, talent and love went into creating this and I am sure it will be a treasured piece for her in this new phase of her life! As a vintage lady (almost 60 years old), I am very aware of how quickly life can change and having a piece that is grounded in her childhood memories, will be part of this new stage and can transition into a little girl’s room if she is blessed with one is such a legacy to help create! Well done!

[@cindyhoward9620]

When you started talking about your ideas on what to do with this dresser, I almost turned the video off. The more you talked about your ideas, the more intrigued I got. I’m so glad I watched until the end. All I can say is WOW!! Absolutely stunning. You definitely had a vision that came to life.

[@ConservativeVeteran]

Danie, That dresser is absolutely stunning! You could buy old furniture and flip it so easily....not sure you would make money if you count the hours you put in (that's a boat load of work!) but what an amazing result!!!

[@annainthefield]

Wow this could not have come at a better time! I literally bought paint and brushes to do this for my dresser last weekend but I've been intimidated by how long it will take. This is definitely confirming that fear but at least I know that it could turn out great. And somehow the idea of stencils had truly not occurred to me! Thank you for the inspiration

[@solarlass5807]

Third attempt at a reply, first 2 aren't showing for me. I suggested that prior to starting your project, check online for stencils, rub on transfers/decals and wood appliques. It can help with guiding creativity.

I also live your sarcasm and humor, but more importantly, when you spoke about your well-being. Thanks for your videos. I almost finished my front yard landscaping today.
