I'll never be able to hear Manfrotto as intended after I thought you said "My man; Frodo". I think this is an improvement.

[@wikyWargaming]

Second that opinion.

[@DanaHowl]

Lmaoooo as I was editing I realized this tooo!!!

[@billiondollarclownfarm]

Congrats on the move!! Damn it looks awesome

[@DanaHowl]

Thank you Tyler!!!! I'm so happy with it so far!!!!

[@redgrass]

You're new room looks amazing and we are so glad you are enjoying our tools!!

[@laflecack]

i didnt even blink at the Floral Shoppe vinyl just nodded like "yep thats in order" a+ 10/10 would vaporwave again

[@pizzalord3n]

I'm giving up on trying to sell you things, you ain't buuuuyiiiiiing

[@TheBatNaz]

Just watching you moving furniture bare foot makes my toes hurt. I would 100% drop something on my foot doing that!

[@howardcoates6985]

love the 4 legged painting partner. My Labrador 'advisor' is chocolate brown.

[@brendanarmstrong7802]

I like your new space. Very square.

[@bettsdn]

Nice floors!

[@totalyruben]

Dama Howl Neon light on your blank wall YES!

[@Jathom]

My hope is that when my wife and I finally buy our forever home (currently in a starter townhome) we can find one with a basement. Either finished or not, it can become my hobby space, her craft space, and a space for gaming. It's the one thing I've put on the list of requirements for myself :)

[@OurCognitiveSurplus]

Looks great!

[@Vangelus]

having a fresh empty space to re-fill and re-make an existing one is the dream~ Grats on the move, studio is looking fantastic!

[@plamomancer]

So jealous of that Floral Shoppe vaporwave album. So sick.

[@justarandomname420]

Plants make rooms so much happier! Enjoy your new domicile.

[@jamiethomas527]

Congrats. And thanks for the vid. It gives me some ideas.

[@HowardsCoinFinds]

Looks Nice and Fresh Great Job

[@runklestiltskin_2407]

I am so happy for you.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

This is a good studio.

[@blizatrex]

A great new space and mini tutorial on how to get a good painting work area.

[@CJKilbride]

Welcome back! I was just thinking we're due for a move in update.

[@ethankillett1997]

Now that's a cozy space!

[@jtrain9926]

That space is great! Me looking at my 1 desk that has 18x22" dedicated to painting area 😭

[@poison_paint_factory]

Such a great hobby space and congratulations on the move. Top tip for unpacking: just pretend it's Christmas...where you just get box after box of your own stuff XD

[@blissfulbadger]

I love seeing how people set up their spaces! Gives an insight to how they workflow, what they find important, and how much stuff they store! I've been working on my studio for about a month, and I still have a few pieces of furniture missing. Hope the studio is working well for you!

[@Bluecho4]

Congrats on the move, and on the bangin' new studio.

[@avinashtyagi2]

That's the great thing about the country, property is cheap, so you can have a big place with enough space for everything you want

[@melsminiloft]

Congratulations on the beautiful new setup! A space that makes you happy helps you make greater things 😊

[@DanaHowl]

Thanks Mel!!! Your space looks awesome toooo ✨✨✨

[@koriesheffer7120]

Quick tip: run a line of painters tape down before you use that 3m double sided nightmare on your walls. Much easier to remove!

[@koriesheffer7120]

That is a lovely set up! Keep tweeking it!

[@dmcf1975]

All the very best in your new home .

[@kharn109]

I'm so jealous I love your new studio!

[@JakobEkman-bf6ez]

Happy for you! Looking forward to content from the new studio!

[@dailykaley5370]

absolutely stunning studio!!!

[@BlackCoyote66]

Can't wait for my RGG light to arrive - it'll free up desk space from my standing lamps.

[@StackingLimit]

Love the look of your new Studio! It looks amazing.

[@thaliahelene]

Congrats! Looks like a welcome upgrade. Always exciting to start life in a new place!

[@DavePottsAmI]

Looks awesome! Enjoy the new space. Thank you for sharing Dana. :)

[@richardasher4602]

love it! the LED lights are awesome. Hope you enjoy it!

[@DamienWise]

Your new studio setup is brilliant! Looks like it was a lot of work, but the result is sooo well worth it!

[@sugarface88]

Great video as always DANA!!! I can't wait to see what you paint. whenever clean my painting desk It always motivates be to paint better and it make it all the sweeter!

[@capnskustomworks]

That’s looking great already!!! I hope it proves to be nice and comfortable to work in!

[@mindyfranke5279]

Congratulations on the new space, it looks amazing! Well planned out and designed. I hope you get many years of enjoyment out of it!

[@MrVolvobloke]

Congratulations on the move!

[@DingoPaints]

Congratulations, great studio

[@derekgarcia3069]

Love the space! I definitely want to take some inspiration once i get around to putting together my own space.

[@DistractedElf]

I love it! So exciting to have a new space!

[@DanaHowl]

Thanks Elf ✨✨✨

[@carpemkarzi]

Nice digs. Congratz

[@firelord52]

Congrats! That looks awesome, specially the a e s t h e t i c vibes, cheff kiss!

[@Crazy.Crafting.Couple]

Excellent setup 👍

[@mikenapier5669]

what a fucking vibe you have accomplished

[@chuck-n-debtaylor7553]

Excellent space, and a nice job setting it up 👍🏻 Looking forward to seeing more great content 🎊 🎉

[@Annies_mini_marvels]

Excited for you pal, it looks ace! 🎉

[@DanaHowl]

Thank you Annie!!! I’m excited too 🎉🎉🎉

[@SteveRB511]

Wonderful video! I'm always happy to see how artists set up their studios and this video gave me some nice ideas of how to set up my space for watercolors, gaming, and starting to get into miniature painting. (Being out in the Southern California Mojave Desert I'm sensitive to the "middle of nowhere" so my first impression on seeing the title of this video, "...in the middle of nowhere", was you working at a table somewhere out on the open Canadian prairie - thankfully your new space is so much nicer than that! 😁)

[@arkham67]

A well deserved upgrade, looks fantastic.

[@bitzbox]

Superb looking setup. It's amazing how everything looks so much better with a few LEDs

[@MarkNiceyard]

In my house the master bedroom is the painting and photography studio, too! :D

[@CrimsonTemplar2]

Nice layout. Looks like an efficient use of space.

[@foreverfornever1124]

Always nice to see a long time hobbyist channel make some nice life changes to further their hobby. Gonna be great to see your new space come to life more and more each new video. Also I genuinely respect the One Piece Manga collection!!

[@petsdinner]

movin to the country, I'm gonna paint a lot of minis 🎵

[@naitp]

1:55 LMAOOOOOOOO (idk if i'm just tired or what, but i cannot stop laughing at this)

[@krzysztofmathews738]

This looks very promising indeed!

[@surrenderfleet]

Very cool, keep up the great content!

[@allgravygames]

Awesome new setup!

[@DanaHowl]

Thank uuuuu

[@bakauf4300]

Confidently states a big closet will help with the pile of shame overflow. Just buying time... 🤣 Great setup. 👍

[@redbaron671]

What type of cabinet/desks did you get? I like the ease of configuration.

[@Barballs]

Yeah I have the same question. Quite an ingenious way to allow multiple configurations

[@Barballs]

"All desks used in my studio are built using IKEA BESTA Cabinets, and IKEA Laminate Countertops laid on top " Well that answers that :)

[@iankay4915]

Great video! As someone else who decamped to ‘middle of nowhere ontario’ I highly recommend it!🤓

[@DanaHowl]

It’s pretty nice out here I agree!!!

[@Rupert-The-Pug]

The middle of nowhere, so... Mississauga? :) The setup looks great.

[@Scribbinge]

You need to get some art up on those walls pronto! :D Gorgeous space, happy things are going well for you Dana!

[@chillausmc]

you just motivated me to reorganize my den for model painting instead of the usual junk storage activity

[@anegativeatheist-9327]

I know where I’m going for my next website or domain!!

[@jonbauml225]

Congratulations on almost reaching 100k subscribers! The KZbin plaque will look great in your new studio

[@Deefry]

That's some good green :) MassiveVoodoo would be proud.

[@christopherartadi2899]

Looks sick. Envy, but like in a way where I’m happy a creator I like has this awesome setup. Can’t wait to see how it evolved over time as well.

[@brutalcities]

Lovely set up Dana, you’ll need a bigger spray booth for the terrain haha one downside I admit!

[@DanaHowl]

HAHA yes that's true!!! I plan to do the majority of the work with spray cans out in the garage or basement I think, and then the details with the airbrush? I head MDF takes spray cans better than airbrush?

[@asthmaticninja4430]

What are your most essential paints then? You have so much variety there! 😁 Looks really nice, lovely space to work in

[@tookiejones9765]

Your new space looks hella dope!

[@DanaHowl]

Thank uuuuu

[@cbpoppet1288]

Lego K K Slider, nice.

[@liambridgeman4529]

Personally can’t wait to see what’s next also what is happening with the dnd chain mail sets they look great !

[@peterlavalle]

As a stranger on the internet I feel authorized to complain that we don't see a dog bed for the dog. Where is dog bed?

[@DanaHowl]

We move it in there when he wants it! Still in the process of getting a dedicated one for the room!

[@digitalwastrel]

Looks like a great space! Also please consider this a formal request for more doggy content in future videos!

[@zpfriem]

Hehe, hello fellow Nintendo nerd. Love the new space, congrats!

[@wikyWargaming]

PLAAANTS

[@kitoushi66]

Excellent set up. Do you have a list of items you used? Im curious what you used for your table tops and table bases.

[@howardcoates6985]

like the set up but you need more paints... 8^)

[@simonm8221]

Congrats for the move Dana! How many power points and transformers for all of those LDs? Seems like way more than 5 meters of strips!

[@sourwyrmple8998]

Looks like a much better space. Wait.... where are the crocs?!

[@DanaHowl]

Hiding!!!

[@graefx]

I guess ive never noticed the Floral Shoppe album until now. Appropriate.

[@hightechoger]

A very cool studio, congratulations. May I ask what film arm you are using? Thank you.

[@monnubains6184]

Studio looks awesome! Do you have a link to the camera arm?

[@mjackson1ster]

Looks awesome! What stands are you using for your GW paints? Is is the same nail polish stands you are using for your Speed Paints?

[@DanaHowl]

They fit both!!! Links in the description to the page of links on my website!!!

[@tragonius]

congratulations on the new space - you deserve it! man, the weird consonance i got from seeing "real" red fifty dollar bills in media, haha

[@NathanLazyBear]

Based

[@emiliomartinez508]

Not enough pale sand on the walls

[@MrRrleonc689]

Got a link to your camera arm holder apparatus?

[@ivans5245]

Where do you get that desk /cabinets? I like that idea.

[@ivans5245]

Nevermind found in the comments already

[@jergoodman1987]

is there a link to that manfrotto filming arm somewhere? couldn't find it in the tools link.

[@i_like_to_paint_minis]

Dana what was the Camera arm on your desk called ? do is work with cell phones

[@martiadams1534]

WOW 🎯 MUST BE THOUSANDS IN INVESTMENT! WHAT A DREAM COME TRUE...WORK YOU ♥BLESSES ALL♥

[@goblinwizard735]

It’s your Bridge.

[@TomNicholson77]

Looks great, but you dragging that furniture round barefoot was giving me heart palpitations!

[@joshbecka6110]

Can I hire you to light my shelves?
