[@lillianmartinez4001]

Do you have a Spanish version on you tube because I see the Spanish version and some times people still you videos and posted.

[@juliebeebe34]

I sure do! I'm about to refinish an MCM Sewing Cabinet to use as a LR Console 🎉

[@juliebeebe34]

NataLee .... I'm in Tampa for business; where should I DEFINITELY visit, while here??? (Figures--my Lady Jane/Athena arrived just as I was leaving Colorado Springs! I'll have to "build" when I go home 😢 But... She is absolutely GORGEOUS!! 😍 😮 🔨

[@deefaye7336]

I believe I need to take issue with your comment that you are not the best DIYer or designer. You absolutely are one of the best in both categories. I'm am always so inspired and motivated after watching each of your episodes. The projects you take on and do yourself just blow my mind sometimes. I could go on forever. I just love you and your channel and I'm so grateful I found you. You are a blessing on so many levels.

[@britzel71]

NataLee, first off I need to address your comments on you not being a very good DIY'er. Please don't throw yourself under the rug like that. I appreciate how humble you are, but... you are so much more than you realize. You are naturally gifted and honestly one of my top favorite DIY'ers! You have a beautiful light inside that radiates brightly and you inspire thousands of us. God is using you in many ways I feel🙏 I truly appreciate how you always bring class and sophistication to all you do but not in a stuffy way. I absolutely love the color of the nightstands, stunning and the material is gorgeous ❤Sidenote, you and your husband both have the sweetest smiles and are gorgeous. Thank you for showing us snippets if your beautiful trip.

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you so much for your kind words. It’s really people like you that keep me doing this day in and day out.🥰🙏💕

[@bebetjones5551]

Your DYI sessions are so very possible for a large number of people. You design things to replace the high end products that many can never afford, so reaching a wide audience. And you are a motivator and encourager. Your cheerful demeanor is so uplifting as we watch your creations. Keep doing the great job you do to help so many decorate their homes!!!

[@kaymathis8925]

Got my Lady Jane drill yesterday! Love it! I wanted to preorder it from the get-go, but already had a drill. However, my husband watched me watching your launch, and seeing how much it meant to me, he surprised me with it. He ordered it from the launch and never spilled the beans! Bring on the rest of the Athena power tool line! It is a great thing you are doing for women!

[@designedtothenines]

Best story ever! You have no idea how much I love it. That is awesome! Sounds like you’ve got a keeper!💕

[@marygemisis6844]

Normally, I would say keep the hardware in its natural state, but I really like these painted. They look so pretty!

[@TinyLuvsBostons]

Many content creators , etc use the expression “We”. But, speaking of “we”, you and your hubby are adorable 🥰

[@designedtothenines]

😊 thank you🥰

[@55miimii]

I just love how you keep it real. I love your DIYs. I have done many. I fail at it too, but because of you. I keep going. Thank you for that girl. ❤ you ate my cheerleader. Thank you.

[@kimberlyelkins8150]

Who is the best at anything doesn't mater. No one can be the best all the time. But you are pretty darn close!! That said...you are amazing...your channel in several language, and empowering women all over the world!! I think thats awesome!! I love love the painted hardware, and I have heard several other youtube crafters say, "It's not hoarding if you use it." Lol

[@vickigonya9432]

That color on the guest room 2 night stands would look great on the night stands behind you!!!❤ with the dark color from the metal above them on the tops❤

[@elizabethboggs9058]

Natalee….WE 💕you so much ….you rock, lady. 🥳🎉🥰

[@donnaloupe5669]

My Lady Jane arrived today. I'm soooo excited. I love the look.

[@tanjacouch3340]

I love you. I think you are amazing ❤. How wonderful. I think what you are doing is amazing. I am a domestic violence survivor NataLee and your channel means the world to me!! I just got my drill too and it is AMAZING!! I love it!!❤❤❤❤ The bracelet was a WOW moment!! What a great surprise !!❤

[@SandraHernandez-cw4zx]

So excited for your Spanish channel! It is so great that you’re expanding, I love your content ❤

[@designedtothenines]

Yay! Thank you!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

True friends are rarely found, and I’m grateful to have found you. You are a blessing to me and to the whole world. I will always treasure you because I know I will never have another friend like you. Love you, sweet friend.

[@designedtothenines]

You're the best! I’m grateful to you and your continued friendship and support. I’m lucky to call you friend.💕

[@donnabacon4681]

NataLee! Congratulations! On your newest endeavor! Taking your show to many parts of the world - AMAZING!!! EVERYTHING you do is so high-end! I understand not wanting to brag on yourself and it is easy to say what you would have done differently instead of giving yourself credit for the fabulous things you have accomplished. You are one of my favorites - actually the best of the best! So you keep doing what you do best and we will keep watching!! 😘 Have a blessed day!! xxoo

[@lynnelewis4487]

Oh my goodness!! I so disagree with what you said!! You absolutely are the best designer, creator and so motivating!! Be proud of those gifts the Lord has given you to share with others!! Do not be ashamed of what the Lord has given you!! You are not boasting. Use it as a way to honor Him and glorify His name!!!! I know how much you love the Lord so think about it that way. Congrats on your new channels in other languages!! XO💓🙏

[@jessicahites871]

First, I gotta say it's not hoarding if it's craft supplies😁!! 2nd, I love that fabric!! 3rd, that custom color on the dresser sets is chef's kiss!! The lighter color does so much more for them than the black and original wood!! 4th, I wouldn't ever paint the knobs to match but, in this case I think it was the perfect choice!! The dressers have sooo much character that I think a different color knob will distract from the beauty of them!! And last but certainly not the least, you are awesome and beautiful inside and out!!

[@farahscroggs2939]

As a Mexican woman I am so excited to hear that your message will be heard in multiple languages!! Languages have done so many good things in my life so this new venture hits close to my heart! Congratulations on your Spanish Chanel ! I will be subscribing for sure!

[@carlareavis8022]

I just got my Lady Jane drill.... I am so excited! I've enjoyed watching your channel grow and develop, and now you'll be international. I'm so happy for you and your husband and looking forward to what the future brings. I have always loved your content. You are my favorite !

[@dianaborges7857]

I love the way the nightstands hardware looked painted ❤

[@shannynls]

Hearing YOUR ACTUAL VOICE speaking fluently in a language that you do not speak must be awesome and strange. AI is amazing and horrifying. Having your channel available to KZbin viewers with other native tongues is going to be wonderful for the world. People should always share natural resources whenever they can! You are definitely an incredible resource! I love your content!

[@designedtothenines]

Wow, thank you! And I agree. AI is equal parts amazing and scary. And also yes… so weird to hear my voice speaking another language.

[@jennygeorge6591]

Thank you for sharing your talent and your passion for empowering women. How exciting to take your love to many languages for more women to see and hear from a strong woman!❤

[@TinaFarmer-q1k]

I love the colors you have chosen for both the dresser and the nightstands. I like the knobs painted the way you have them! Also, I agree with others, the jobs you decide to DYI just amaze me. I would never try some of the things you do, and you nail them! The fireplace was great to watch you do. I love watching your videos!

[@joygross]

Stop saying you are not the best DIYER or Designer. You Rock. Don’t make me yell at you again 😂😂😂 I love the new look of the bed tables. They are perfect and your room turned out beautiful ❤❤❤

[@beverly3397]

You may not realize it but painting the nights brought a real peace to the room. This is a feng shui must for every bedroom. YOU DID GIRL!!!

[@annetten.8667]

Si, hablo espanol, 😊I am bilingual, loving the second language channel ! You are an incredible diyer and personality! GOD bless you and your family! Enjoying your videos I am always looking forward to your new videos! Gracias! 🌹 My family and friends are also bilingual : English/ Spanish speaking and we’re all bicultural! You are an inspiration!❤️

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you so much!!🥰🙏💕

[@USA-2491]

Nightstands are beautiful.🥰🥰🥰

[@donnamorrison4747]

I love that you are reaching out to other women !!! in different languages !!

[@vickinoeske1154]

I adore that soft blue green color. The bedroom looks beautiful. Calm and restful.

[@griselalfaro7004]

I am amazed of how good you sound in Spanish, which is my first language, but prefer you in English Thanks for including other languages in your show. I’m sure it will reach lots of people and your message will continue to spread.

[@carolschlosser2716]

I just started sewing again. I forgot how relaxing it was. Thank you for that.😊❤

[@vivienmcnaul109]

Touch up pulls with black rub

[@SuperJeanette77]

the tone on tone with the night stands is very trendy, I think. I love it.

[@lindasells4476]

Thanks for sharing how to do the piping on the pillow I know you've done this before but it's good to show it again for those of us who need it

[@kittychronister3537]

The room came out sweet. I would leave the hardware the same color as the night stands. It really adds to the overall design without going over the top. I love that the pillow fabric was the inspiration for the room. All the muted colors give a restful air to the room.

[@desertlady2815]

I'm so moved by your vision to reach women everywhere! I know from personal experience that realizing you have a voice & learning to use it in a positive way is very empowering. Then you come along with your encouragement, power tools, your natural insight & creativity, and BOOM, you instill confidence in all of us! Especially when you say, "You're more powerful than you know!" ♡ As for your guest room, I love the way you incorporated the colors in the room. It looks beautiful! The pillow & the flowers give the perfect touch. ♡ Although I love the color you chose for the nightstands, I would have definitely left the hardware original. To me, using original or spruced up hardware gives a richer depth to a piece. However, everyone has their own preferences. As you often say, and i love to hear, "You won't know unless you try. It's easily changed. After all, it's just paint." ♡

[@tamaraharbin3112]

A number of years ago I bought a dresser off marketplace for my mom. It ended up being too small for her needs so, I removed 3 of the 5 drawers from the middle of the top row. I then removed 2 of the vertical spacers (between the drawers) and stained a piece of wood (matching the top) to make the space an open shelf. It became a very useful and much needed TV stand with storage for videos, remotes and other items.

[@USA-2491]

You two are so cute…adorable. Thank you for sharing for us that have never been there.

[@murlepeterson6028]

Oh this launguage is too cool

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Congratulations on the expansion of your Chanel. What a great thing to do. I have no doubt that it will be a huge success. I liked that you sprayed the fixtures over your end tables. They look great. If you wanted to add a touch of something, how about your Rub and Buff on the fixtures. That would be a small change that might make a big impact. As always, fun video. I love it when you include your hubby. The two of you look so adorable together❣️

[@donnamorrison4747]

So happy you guys enjoyed your Trip !!!

[@angelaromo224]

I really enjoy your designs. That is awesome that you are going to empower other women from other languages.

[@patsyphillips1475]

Your enthusiasm is inspiring to me. You wanting to influence women by encouraging them to do better and more is admirable. I 😅 love your in-depth explanations. And I appreciate you letting to do it the way we want to

[@johnwolfe2616]

Sue Wolfe- Your decision to paint the knobs on the end tables in the guest room was absolutely the right one! I've never seen it done, but it allows your eyes to be drawn to the beautiful details of the furniture instead of the hardware. Great design choice! I hope you can get some help (hint, hint) in getting your workshop squared away! It sure would make your job easier. I look forward to your next room update! 👏👍👌🌴😎❤️❤️

[@carolynwright3026]

I love to see you and your husband together! Y’all make such a sweet couple ❤ You inspire me on so many different levels! Your love of family and all things home related!😊

[@sandiweishaupt8483]

I love the hardware as it is. I think it looks very classy. And, by the way, you are the best DIYer. ❤️

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you! 😊

[@mariamoreno7224]

I am glad you got out of the box and visited other places and south Mexico is just beautiful to get more inspired.

[@debrahickman731]

The room with the new pillow and the painted furniture looks so nice. Debbie😊

[@shirleyhale6248]

Received my drill this week.. love, love, love it... so beautiful, powerful and functional!!! Looking forward to the next tool!!

[@designedtothenines]

Glad you like it!💕

[@nancycostello6225]

I love the hardware on the nightstands being the same color as the base. Beautiful.

[@deaneclark6469]

Your dresser turned out beautifully, as always, NataLee!❤ Going to Cancun looked like so much fun! So beautiful! The water looked so beautiful! You are my favorite diyer! And you are the best at what you create, in my opinion!😊 And you are the best decorator!😊 Congratulations on your new KZbin dubbing, NataLee! That's awesome!❤ You are always so inspiring! I made my craft table like your craft table because I loved it so much! Again, thank you, NataLee! 😊❤ I love the taupe color that you used on the night stands. I think the hardware would look great in the same brass color as the dresser.😊 The floral arrangement looks awesome!😊 I'm a fabric & ribbon hoarder, too!😂 I'm in the process of organizing my fabric right now. I love the fabric that you used for your pillow! It is beautiful!❤ I want to learn how to sew so badly! As always, NataLee, thank you for sharing all of your hard work, creativity, talent, and inspiration! Stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊

[@ellenharris3868]

We went 29 years ago when you could climb up at Chichinitza! Terrifying, but totally woryh it!

[@designedtothenines]

That would have been amazing! Now I think they’d put you in jail for that.

[@RachelMichel-r4g]

I just sent you a message after getting my Athena Drill by Natalie and you responded. Because I know how busy you are. Telling you how much you have done for me. You are truly talented and an amazing woman! You inspire more people than you know I can assure you of that. Thank you so much for all you do! We need more God and Love in this world!

[@designedtothenines]

I truly do appreciate each and everyone of you and I may not always be able to answer every comment. I read as many as I can, and I always try to reply as much as possible without all of you. This channel would not be anything. Thank you for your support.💕

[@yasmincandelario2849]

Hi Natalie, that is wonderful I just got my power drill yesterday. Don’t feel that great today but it was so awesome to know that you also going to have a Spanish channel so I can see it in English and Spanish. I never get tired of listening and watching all your project. Thank you for all the hard work that you do for us.

[@murlepeterson6028]

So happy seeing you got a. Break to Mexico ¡ Ok work in Mexico can'nt get any better ! Thank you cfor bringing us along !!

You are so brave Natalee. What a wonderful gift to fellow ladies all over the world. I think you are the best. Ann from Va.

[@lisadolan6469]

You are the best Natalee. Just love you. Thank you for all the inspiration and friendship!

[@anneaton921]

I like the nightstands hardware painted the same color. I think if you did a contrasting color it would take away from the details in the peice. You are amazing & so creative!!🥰

[@designedtothenines]

Thanks!

[@sarahwood3888]

About a year ago I painted the night stands in my bedroom. They were along the same lines as the ones you did. I brushed them, with a chalk paint that I mixed myself. I never got around to putting a sealer on them and they are holding up just fine! Love the colors you are using in the guest room! I started sewing as a young girl, and, started my granddaughters when they were 6. One now designs and sews clothing. I love your DIY shows. Congratulations on starting in the different languages!!

[@kathylankford5959]

You are the reason I started diy. I always liked it but you have up'd my ideas! You are awesome and encouraging. Love you, thank you for all you do!!

[@designedtothenines]

I'm so glad! You’re the epitome of why I do what I do.💕

[@sheliadennis9004]

I think you are a great DIYER. I loved the fireplace you built. Your very talented and sweet lady.❤️ The night stands turned out beautiful.

[@janinesabucco5200]

I thoroughly enjoy watching your channel. I find it inspiring. When I feel a little down, I know that after watching you, I will feel so uplifted. You have a real gift in connecting with your audience. All the best in your international reach out. Thank you ❤ 🇨🇦

[@sharonv.waters5209]

Of all the upcycling videos I've seen, yours are far and away the absolute best!! Between your sense of humor shining through; giving smooth, easy to understand steps for a piece, that are easy to understand; and the fact that the pieces you show are items that everyone can use! A lot of other videos [A] Have no sense of humor, and some about bore me into a coma, and [B] There are a lot of, well, stupid stuff out there that maybe 1% of the population appreciates...the rest of us jump out after 2 or 3min LoL! Keep your humor, and fun conversations, in your vids... along with cool pieces that everyone loves! Sweetie, you're the best of the best!

[@kathyortiz4302]

The dresser came out beautiful,the nightstands are amazing, and you are one of the best ❤❤❤❤❤

[@carolwaite4343]

I like the painted hardware. I also think you do a great job with DIY, I learn a lot from you. I don't always use primer, which is why I love chalk paint cause you don't really have to. Never had a problem so far.

[@jenbale]

I love the hardware painted, please don't change it. Much love and admiration from Australia.

[@KatMSmith]

I LOVE the nightstand and I love it as is ❤

[@michellereber6816]

Second comment…sorry! I am a 60 something Grandma, and for the first time, finally learned how to install an invisible zipper on a pillow. So easy! I don’t know why I was always so intimidated to do it. Tried when I was a young adult and failed. I had watched a few KZbin tutorials to learn how. With nine little grandchildren and their inevitable grubby hands, I like most things to be washable. For holidays I do the envelopes style backing, but for every day, I am so happy to have learned how to do the zipper.

[@karentracey9948]

I'm 62 and recently learnt how to use a drill 😂 couple of holes weren't right,my partner asked what I used for 1 hole, a bazooka? 😂

[@staceyvance7679]

I like the cabinet hardware sprayed the same color as the cabinet. Different look. But looks sharp. Thanks for your positive and encouraging words about lifting up others, especially women. Always appreciate your smile and ideas.

[@patriciakirkpatrick7933]

I think the night stands are pretty! I would let the knobs painted. Looks classy to me. 🥰

[@janetjordan6208]

Oh my, I got a wine cabinet to match it. Got it from someone. I painted it, too. Off white and warm gold. It is solid wood very heavy.

Loved the side table & painting the hardware gave it a luxurious look. I love all your DIY! 🩷 Terri from Texas.

[@ShirleyHall-xn2ht]

Hey, Natalie. Thank you so much for what you do I just wanted to say. I watched your program all the time, but this time. What really jumped out and spoke to me. Was that you s women and how we should support each other and that you share your family with us. And that was very, very special to me. Thank you for all that you do and please do not stop because you're doing a very good job. Peace be still

[@Jss-ni1xb]

I will Always appreciate people who at least acknowledge other languages outside their own.🙏 I have learned a few languages over the yrs & English is Not my 1st. Technology can b great too if programmed/trained appropriately. Thank you for normalizing women ability to use power tools.❤ Sometimes women worry too much about Not b seen as feminine enough.

[@carolehorak7009]

Natali, I have been watching you for years, love your channel! My young adult daughters have jumped on board using many of your techniques to upgrade their fixer-upper homes. One of my daughters is even following your Way Cool dirt cheap year of crafts, from many years ago, she loves it! I would have liked to have seen the finished bedroom space for more than just a few seconds you showed it from here and there. What I saw it looked fabulous! And I would’ve liked to seen more. I understand in a new home you may not consider that room finished, perhaps You didn’t have what you wanted on the windows or whatever, but I really would have liked to seen that for longer than a 3-4 seconds. May I suggest filming/doing the narrating in the room that you are working on in the future. Thank you

[@ramonamartinez7055]

[@seiland6029]

Thank you for taking us along on your trip to Chizen Itza. Before my husband's passing away we were able to visit years ago. At that time, people were still allowed to climb the steps and stand next to the alter where sacrifices were made. It was surreal and an experience no one could ever forget. I'm enjoying watching your new videos with your husband and learning how to create beautiful creations out of everyday items.

[@jonimosteller8946]

The night stands turned out very classy. I wouldn’t paint them again at all , but with that said if and when , maybe a bit of metallic Rub n Buff? You have so much energy🥰♥️

[@carolharrison4199]

The nightstands turned out so well! I would leave the knobs and pulls painted since they really do add texture.
