*FOLK ART* Maximalist Garden-Inspired Vanity Dresser Flip

[@anastasiiazdorikova]

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

[@anastasiiazdorikova]

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.

[@oliverhenkel8229]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 ❤

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@MRPandoraHartDR]

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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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❤

[@taylormccarty977]

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

[@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!!❤

[@ellenmillhollon909]

AMAZING!!! This is a heirloom piece!

[@catherinevincent852]

You need a big fan for the garage space. Maybe like the ones they put in gyms to keep them cool

[@vickinoeske1154]

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

[@peggykrogh6763]

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

[@theresabryant9719]

I probably would’ve gotten a speeding ticket if I was driving… based on how fast I clicked on your video.

[@DIYDanie]

😂😂 Omg this literally made me LOL out loud

[@Rachelsmemo]

@@DIYDanieme too

[@freedomofreligion3248]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ArcaneGinger]

​@@DIYDanieThe dresser looks great! And I'm sure the videos are all done...but if not the left door bottom line is missing some dots.

[@Soy_Johana_Galindez]

Me three 😂

[@jk3253]

I am obsessed with these beautiful folk art furniture pieces that have been popping up lately

[@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! ❤❤❤

[@TheLballou]

You are a warrior! Painting in that heat is hell, BUT, you persisted and have a whimsical, beautiful piece to show for your persistence! I can not wait for the next video, stained glass!!! OMG!

[@jennifera9071]

Omg I love the dresser so so much and it reminds me of my grandfather hand painting birds all over the kitchen cabinets ❤️ I miss that kitchen so much ❤ I’d love to see a floral glass stained window or peel & stick where the Iron Mustache was.

[@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. ❤❤❤

[@ajlacostewm]

I'm building 180 drawers this week for a job. I have done 78 of them so far, and it took me a week, not to mention that I had to make the parts to build them from scratch.

[@agresticumbra]

Whoa Nelly! What kind of job is it?

[@ajlacostewm]

​@agresticumbra, it's for a million dollar new house.

[@vickinoeske1154]

Whoa! Bless you, my child.😂❤

[@katy8161]

ngl, that dresser is so gorgeous that it makes me tear up a little. I love love love love love it, so much. Wow.

[@NAINIM]

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS 💚🩵💙💛🧡❤️

[@HelloKelly76]

The Anne of Green Gables clip made me smile!!!

[@lenarobins2480]

Really loved the green tones and how you softened the edges

[@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 🐕

[@marciashindler1917]

This is so European folk inspired! It’s amazing! Beautiful work!🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@lyndabenson675]

That is friggin MAGICAL!! You’re a mystical elf!

[@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 🥹

[@drbeecreates]

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

[@marysogni3]

Danie, I wish I could give this video more likes. It looks fantastic already and so creative! She is going to love it and is so lucky to have you making this for her!!

[@foggybummers]

Just when I thought I couldn’t love this video any more, there was a dog. The cabinet is magick at work, made from the heart and sure to help mend broken parts 🌺

[@doublejcorsets]

Yay 🎉 Saturday morning with Danie…. Almost as good as Thursday morning with Danie 🥰🥰🥰 That mood board wow.

[@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.

[@suziejames7510]

Looking amazing, can't wait until next week to see it all come together. You are so talented and have so much patience ❤

[@lyndabenson675]

There is something so beautifully wrong with you! So creative! So dedicated! You are truly a Twisted Sister!

[@FrenchMonkeyBD]

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

[@3lissaH4]

I haven't decided if I enjoyed the stenciling or the stay hydrated song more but they were both such a vibe for me. Absolutely loved ❤

[@Angelofmusic0505]

Best part of my Saturday morning!

[@DIYDanie]

Me too!!! hope you enjoy it!

[@marthagalvis7251]

Kenoby summer vibes represents me!

[@jhutch1681]

What an unbelievable labour of love. Now how can she ever live with the armoire and bedside tables?!

[@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!!

[@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

[@madzabinga8382]

Um. This is a gift! You put a part of your heart and soul into that dresser. Wow!!

[@LilacLees]

It’s a masterpiece! This is now a family heirloom to be treasured for generations 😊

[@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!

[@janetboette7013]

Wow! Those details are just WOW! I can't paint my nails without smudges and there you are rocking the stencils. Ya know...there are nightstands...

[@lucyli7824]

WOW the level of detail!! It's not even my style, but I WANT IT!!!

[@Purplemoons49]

The dresser is a one of a kind Masterpiece. Just beautiful. I loved it.

[@SaraEFR74]

Girl!!!!!!!!!! You knocked this one straight out the park!!! STUNNING xxx

[@bibiventura10]

This is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen, and you haven't even finished yet. It's a masterpiece!

[@margaretkellymurphy5537]

I pretend to be a minimalist, but this piece speaks to me! So much work but it's just beautiful.

[@joannogueira676]

It is so good to finally meet a DIYer from Canada. I discovered your videos two days ago about your front yard makeover and loved them. 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. I was hopping in and out at Canadian Tire now. I'm in pain from being on my feet all day, but I am proud of my accomplishment.

[@LadyLJOII]

Stencilining gets stretched out by adding detail and ideas....yep. Sky is the limit. But it looks folky fab. Love it.

[@d.b.595]

Its funny when I first started watching this I thought stain glass would look amazing in this. Amazing👏

[@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.

[@karenkrahe4218]

Dani, the dresser is absolutely gorgeous!!! It reminds me of Pennsylvania Dutch/ Amish designs that I loved years ago!Don’t know how I will be able to wait a week for the finished dresser ! You are so talented!! 😀😍

[@maryloumorrisey7406]

You have outdone yourself!!!!! STUPENDOUS!!!!

[@erinatkinson3534]

Screaming crying throwing up, absolutely sunning! This made me emotional, so much time and love went into this. Wish I didn’t watch yet because I can’t wait for the second part!

[@AuntieBrendaWashington-tp5mq]

The best make over yet! And you are not even finished!!! You are a genius, dear Danie!!!!!!!! ❤️

[@tessm712]

WOW!! I hope she loves what you’ve achieved. It is beyond.

[@vintagecameragirl]

Ive had a Walsh dresser of my parents for ten years, and I've gone back and forth on what to do with it. I think this is it, this is exactly what it needs to be. Thank you Dani for the inspiration!

[@lovingmayberry307]

This might just be my favorite video of all time!! Can't wait for the stained glass and reveal next week! Beautiful job!! 💜

[@MichelleM-ud1hx]

Oh.........Dani! The Dresser! Charming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish I had one......wish I had the entire set, after your painting magic!! I love your channel, and projects. M.

[@klwf0730]

This is the most fabulous DIY ever! Great job Danie 😍

[@JamieJumbles]

I adore this Dani ! There is so much love and creativity poured into this piece. This is an amazing gift to Kaitlin to support her new beginnings and embracing of who she is. So important when life throws change at you. ❤. And yes- the music was spectacular and moving !

[@ketrinachilds8432]

the music and the painting together...Cinematic relaxation. Also the paint job looks amazing!

[@Hello_Sunshine_448]

Dani Dani Dani!!! 😮 I gasped and started clapping when you started painting light blue dots on the dark blue painted stencils. At that moment I knew this was going to be a special one. I can literally watch you paint live for 12+ hours. It's amazing to see your mind and magic come to fruition. I secretly hope she want to thrift so I can buy it!! Tho I know she will cry happy tears knowing this is hers. Bravo Dear Dani!! ❤❤❤

[@oaklandcookie]

LOVE THIS! I'm a big fan of Lone Fox but I feel like this is what he tried to do with the rustic armoire in his laundry room and it wasn't as successful. Not knocking him. This is AMAZING!

[@user-mu9zn6ty7j]

based on the mood board and how she described what she wanted, I think you nailed it. Great job on that!

[@natashajames520]

OMG! Danie, you have out done yourself again! This is stunning, chefs kisses, amazing! I can’t wait to see the end product! Definitely worth the wait and breaking up the videos. Kudos for working in this heat! Stay hydrated girl! ❤😍🥰😘💪

This is so lovely. I want to do this on and around my bedroom door!

[@tishspirationstation2845]

Danie, the dresser is so beautiful!!! I love it, and watching you paint was not boring at all. I can't wait to see the final reveal. She is going to love it!!!

[@MerryBee707]

One of my top 5 favorite projects. How amazing would it be to have a Danie original?!? I HOPE you signed this piece, it's a MASTERPIECE! Cannot wait to see the hardware, and wallpaper lined drawers.

[@tammyhendrickson-kt2bo]

❤ I’m obsessed with the idea of having the most beautiful stenciled dresser ever and can’t wait to see what it looks like

[@hollyt1673]

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!

[@MarthasMuWz]

Wow, Danie! You are sooooo goooood at re-imagining furniture. Thank you for the laughs and beauty!

[@alexispennings380]

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

I was skeptical to begin with, but you managed to modernize the stenciling. LOVE it!

[@debracox9277]

My hubby is a commercial painter. We count the painted clothes vs. Non painted. Paint wins!

ok that is the moodboard to rival all moodboards!!

[@aprilchennuri2906]

This project is turning out so great! All the work you have put into this piece is definitely paying off. I can’t wait for next week to see it complexly finished with the stained glass on the top. 😀

[@heidibrandes9499]

From the moment you started stenciling I wanted to hit the like button on repeat.......👍👍👍👍👍👍 THIS made me so happy to watch you create a beautiful piece of furniture for someone to treasure. Good on you!
