[@E4mj]

a) This is beautiful b) This solves a dilemma I've had for TWO YEARS about how to get a shelf in the wall behind my front door! Thanks Danie

[@rdb4996]

How is the hole in your wall? Coming along nicely?

[@TamarLitvot]

😬 I’m sure it will work out… Seriously, I bet it will be great!

[@jhutch1681]

Lol!

[@pama.6410]

No turning back now!!! That's one way to get things done!!!

[@RJanke65]

@@pama.6410 I've been wanting the brick wall in my kitchen done with the German schmear technique for 10 years. My husband has recently started watching Danie with me. I told him if he comes home & my hair is lavender (currently white), he'd better watch out for a total kitchen tear out!!

[@melissam8939]

This turned out amazing! Congrats on finding that home reno unicorn: opening up a wall and it NOT turning out to be full of HVAC, electrics, plumbing, or mice 😆

[@meganc1539]

I can relate to this! We really wanted to add some built-in storage in my kids' bathroom behind the vanity, but when we opened the wall, there were pipes and wires everywhere, and just no way it would happen.

[@marvymaxee]

Nooks and crannies give a home so much character. What a lovely way to add to yours! Nice job, Danie.

[@sylvie1994]

From the first 3 words, I thought you were talking about Animal Crossings

[@aimeeontheharp]

I have lots of little cubbies/ nooks that my husband built into walls for me. I love them! Most of them are small areas which made it very hard to spackle, but they look awesome holding just one item or a small collection. We also did a recessed mirror in the foyer! Everyone loves it!

[@BaskEtcAse1970]

Nothing short of impressive! I also love how the wooden shelves extend past the opening.

[@DIYDanie]

Right?! I love it too!

[@TamarLitvot]

@@DIYDanie Yes! The shelves look like what you see in very old homes in places like Italy where the shelves are built into the plaster walls.

[@gzk88]

Me, living in a country where houses are often made of brick... Hard pass! 😂 This looks gorgeous. The brass rails are the perfect touch.

[@kundipot]

Same. Haha. But I've been nervous to paint an arch 🤣

[@mildredjeff5024]

The arch is not very deep, you can build it on the surface of the wall.

[@nancibishof6462]

Usually 1/4" drywall is used with scoring of the back much closer together on the arch to create a smoother arching. That said, I like that the shelves are built in and it adds interest to your home's kitchen area. You have great design instincts. Your reworking of your spaces are really creative and livable.

[@vschroeder4062]

Thanks for that tip, she didn't spend a lot of time or camera work on that part of it and I had all the questions...

[@jordanblack5608]

I actually love that the arch doesn't look perfectly smooth - it makes it look like it's been there for a lot longer. Especially when you take it in with your beam on the ceiling, it looks original. Love it!

[@vickinoeske1154]

My goodness Danie you NEVER cease to amaze! The shelf looks so professional and magazine worthy.

[@diyhuntress]

I now want to cut a hole in the wall of every room in my house.

[@rdb4996]

Caution advised when the house is owned by one or more (indoor) cats 🤭

[@XxZoraZ]

The fact that it isn’t as smooth in the arch adds so much character though, like it’s made waaaay back when, and just very handmade :))

[@flowersinthefields21]

Thank you for the words of encouragement for people like me who fear an ugly, unprofessional outcome. What's funny is that I just had an epiphany this year regarding that very thing. I said to myself, "Why should you expect a professional looking outcome when it's your first attempt ever?!" Lol! I realized how silly I'd been, and that the only way to get better is to practice. Right now, I have a number of projects that need finishing touches (stain). I've made a plant bench, a hanging plant tray as well as a plant "stool" with leftover material. Just to get away from the plant theme, I also made a bath tray. Yes, they're all simple, and if someone should see them they'd be kind of meh about it. It doesn't stop me from being proud of what I've accomplished. (I left off my fireplace rehab. That one has me a bit overwhelmed at the moment.) Thank you for another great video!

[@pama.6410]

Keep chipping away! Break that fireplace job into little jobs. You've got this!

[@flowersinthefields21]

@@pama.6410 Thank you! I'm determined to complete it. It's just so hard getting paint out of all the nooks and crannies! 😭

[@carongover8889]

Best thing you've done in your house EVER!! I'm in love with the shelves passing over the sides and the fact that its not perfect is what makes it so perfect to me! Congrats Danny, you knocked it out the park! Love always, from Johannesburg, South Africa 🤩💖

[@anneporter123]

I have to ask you guys, do you know about "Ain't Gonna Play Sun City"? Little Steven of Bruce Springstein's band started a boycott to end apartheid. I never hear anyone mention it, only Nelson Mandela. Little Steven is still alive and I think he deserves props.

[@robsgirl7778]

I love built in shelving. My husband and I did something similar when we closed off the extra door on a jack and Jill bathroom.

[@Madame0variesNYC]

You. Are a beast. In the best possible way. Thank you being a woman who uses power tools and showing us how while also making us laugh ❤️❤️

[@GloriaG1972]

If I had my own home, I would T O T A L L Y do this!! You said arch and I saw you making cuts in the drywall to do it, then you said and did it. lol You NAILED it bestie!! I love it!!

[@larissa7508]

I love this. Reminds me how older houses sometimes had niches like this for a home telephone. I’d love to do this with a wall outlet to charge cell phones.

[@merlin711oregon]

My grandfather's home had one of those back in the day and I loved it. It was in the hall by the bedrooms. I was thinking how I'd love doing something like that in my 67 year old home but it's plaster and lathe so I'm really not prepared if something goes wrong. Too scared.

[@meganc1539]

II's beautiful, and I love your "Embrace the imperfections" mindset. I want to make one! Especially into the gallery rails. I have a time-saving tip for your next drywall project: 20-minute mud is a game-changer for being able to save nearly a day of drying time. You can't use it for your final coat - doesn't sand as easy - but it is brilliant for the first coat. I buy it dry and just mix as much as I need. Vancouver Carpenter is my favourite KZbinr for drywall advice - he's made me a much better drywaller.

[@UsernamesForDummies]

Oh no! I really liked that spoon wall art! But the alcove is also really beautiful and I appreciate it if peoples’ home design is dictated by the love for their pets.

[@nikiley]

There’s a PnR scene where Ron does a sweeping underhand punch while declaring “Viiiinnnnndddeeeccccaaatiiiooonnn!” that’s my go to for righteous success. I used that gesture on your behalf along with you. This has me inspired to punch into my attic space behind my desk chair.

[@trishpipkins]

I swear we are related somehow. I have ALWAYS wanted to do something like this and I own like a hammer and maybe a handsaw. 🤣 This came out great!! And guess what! Monday my husband and I are going to be buying a home!!!! So I better get some more tools because MY HOME NEEDS THIS!! Thank you for all your encouragement and inspiration and goofiness. You're my people for sure. 💖💖💖

[@bethanylaurenbeiro4413]

This has nothing to do with shelves, but those clogs in your kitchen holding plants…. *genius* I’ve had a pair of wooden clogs I thrifted for a LONG time and hadn’t figured out what to do with them and now I know EXACTLY what to do with them!!! Also the shelf turned out gorgeous! Definitely a new subscriber here!!! 👋🏻

[@julieforan3559]

Beautifully done! This is a Pokémon challenge run for DIY! That said, I respect the power of an excited dog’s tail, so the battle may not be over yet. 😀

[@marilynwoodard7961]

I LOVE it! What really sold me on my current house is that it has an old fashioned arched nook in the wall for a telephone, as well as an arched opening between the dining room and kitchen. 1950's charm.

[@katem1105]

Love what you did. I would like either to add a transom above the door to my powder room or do a cut through and add stain glass to add natural light to the space.

Me too, I have an interior bath with no window. Ick

Looooove it! If all of our walls weren't made of plaster and bricks, I'd make a shelf like that for sure.

[@swiinka]

Also, if I may have a wee DIY suggestion: something to cover up that alarm panel, it's a bit of an eyesore. Maybe something like them key storage cabinets, but backless?

[@vermin913]

Is an easy way to curve drywall is to wet one side bend it, then let it dry into the curve. You might have to do it a few times to get that tight of a curve. There is also 1/4" drywall that might work better. You did a great job with the materials that you had.

[@JaQuiManitas]

You’re giving me courage. I’ve been thinking of making a large arched recessed wall shelf and you’ve made me think I could probably do it. Lol!

[@NemoOks]

Our owner and landlord of our apartment build an inset shelf in the bathroom next to the sink and i love it. Normally we only had closed storage in the bathroom and therefore not a much decor, but now i can style this shelf!

[@natalya_m1561]

I diy when I can, I have done a 3 big dressers, reupholstered our ottoman and stripped the wood, and so on.. i love doing it on me free time. I'm 20 weeks pregnant with my 6th, my are 8, 6, 5, 3, and 1.5. I'm a housewife, I keep the house clean, cook, I homeschool, sometimes take care of livestock when my husband is at work, he's a truck driver but loves to be home so rarely works.

This is the coolest 😎 skill - to make a recessed feature wall that WAS just a boring flat spot! 🤯 If I could...I would 👍🏻

[@rstuff54]

I ❤ this so much!! My son asked for something like this in his room. I am so excited to tackle this project.

[@tlea1223]

Looks absolutely fantastic... I think you should add a teeny tiny, flush mount, remote controlled light inside the arch to add a soft glow at night

[@woodsfamily]

So dope! I'm adding a wall with a door & wall shelves on each side of the door to enclose a 3 wall room today. I revisited this video for inspiration. When I frame the wall w/ door, I'll also frame out the window-like area for the wall shelves on each side of the door. I'll go back & fill those in with sheetrock, shelves & gallery rails afterwards. Love, love, love this. Never done anything like this before today, but you've inspired me.🎉

You are a woman after my own heart. I viewed many videos on how to do a wall nook in my bedroom and your video was by far the best. Simple and straight to the point. Easy to follow and understand.

I just love arches! It might be cool to paint that bit of wall green to help solve your green-to-white trim transition dilemma and make it pop!

[@maralavern]

Love this Danie! Years ago I cut a hole in the wall behind my bathroom door and created a tall medicine cabinet. I didn’t drywall it in, but instead made a box to fit. Screwed it into the studs, added glass shelves and used a wood carving from Bali as the door. It was one of my proudest DIYs.

[@kathrynpedulla8952]

Dani, I LOVE your pocket hole jig. I haven’t built things big enough to warrant one, but I WANT one! 😍 These shelves turned out beautifully!

I start my Saturdays with DIY Danie, a bagel, and a cold coffee (cuz I need the caffeine but can't handle hot first thing) ...what a great start to the day! I was wondering just what magic you were going to do to get the arched top...kerfing drywall, never would have thought of that. I love a good niche in the wall, nothing sticking out to get knocked off and extra display/storage space.

[@DiamondDustAndVerdigris]

Dani, this is b-e-a-utiful! Well done. I love it! And your enthusiasm/how proud of yourself you were is just giving me life! 😎😁🥰🤘 Also, your editor needs a big fat raise! This was very well put together. 👍

[@wonderwonder30]

The imperfections make this project PERFECT! Absolutely love how the arc looks a little imperfect, which makes it look like it has been there from the start and has adjusted with the house 🏠 The wood extending past the drywall is a nice touch! This is one of those projects I feel like I could take inspiration from and tackle myself, if I didn’t live in an apartment lol

[@navigatingthedestination]

It looks great. It has alot of character which matches your house so much. A tip for anyone who wants to do this is to use 1/4 drywall and when you cut the backside of the drywall make the cuts closer together for a smoother look. You will need two people to help you install it because it will be like a wet noodle lol. You did awsome Danie

Danie: let's do this inset wall diy for shelves! Me: wow what a great idea for a sword mount! Danie: wait Me: the hall of swords I've wanted since I was a kid. I could do that and use this diy as a starting point After finishing the video, my design decision is to use this design, make it longer, use each alcove to inset a sword prop I either made or bought and install a lighting system. A hall of swords has been my dream for years. So I can definitely do it now!
