i organized + transformed my small space art room! *SHOCKING BEFORE + AFTER*

[@Mrs_Dale]

👍🏻👍🏻 organizational is the KEY 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@convergencec1811]

It isn’t that I didn’t care about your change in space. I was very please that you made changes to your space that you wanted. But, honestly!, the best part of this share for me was the joy you clearly took in each step of the changes you made. Thank you. I’m still smiling at your smiles and dancing joy🙂

[@mjade8784]

I genuinely sat down tonight and opened up youtube thinking to myself: "I hope Danie made a video. I could use some happy Danie energy right now."

[@denises9426]

You called me out on my “room where you close the door and casually walk away from”! *sigh* Gonna tackle it today! Thanks for the motivation Danie! Your art room looks AMAZING!! 👍🏻💕🥰💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@lordorielrising4673]

Denise S I used to call them “rooms of death” because they both spiritually sucked the life out of you & often were physically dangerous by all the junk on the floor & perched precariously too high. Had both a sewing room & garage like this. You also have to understand whether you are the kind of person that can handle having hidden storage. I used to always organize things into boxes so the room looked neat but then I lost my ability to deal with what was in them so they’d sit unopened for years & I’d repurchase what I already had. So I had to figure out how to have the stuff put away but still know what’s in it either through labels or transparent/semitransparent bins.

[@kiki29073]

Mine is a whole camper that is supposed to be my she camper.

[@KToth-rc4oh]

Finally! An art/craft room makeover that doesn't involve scrapbooking!!!! Yeah!!! You've given me some great ideas for my den/craft room!

[@Thatsinteresting363]

You just got me inspired! My crafting stuff is all in stacks of bins in the basement. I need a DDP (DIY Danie Plan)!

[@DIYDanie]

hahaha I like that! :)

[@Inevitable.Change]

When Danie said "I feel like I can just exhale" I inadvertently breathed out in the most calming way. Thank you for sharing all the positivity and brightness!

[@pattymck7267]

Love the trick with tape for hanging pictures.

[@diyhuntress]

You’re making me want to organize all of the things. 😍 The room looks awesome!

[@tinawright7526]

I love that your room is real not so fancy not all preppy just real great job love it

[@juliushuggins1390]

ROSALYN H. I am in my late 50's and I find you so inspiring, and above and beyond talented . THANK YOU

[@clairemyers6687]

The tape hack is GENIUS!!!

[@lindseyhenry4059]

My favorite part: the wood shelving. Very functional. I started painting art recently and I am just loving it! You are an inspiration indeed!

[@kaizen_5091]

I commend anyone who can successfully wrangle a room that is filled to the brim and chaotic and turn it into a functional and aesthetically pleasing space. Nice job Danie and thanks for some great takeaway ideas for the space I have yet to wrangle 😄

[@kalicanterbury8085]

You are simply adorable! What a pleasure to watch while I lay around trying to talk myself into cleaning and organizing my space.

[@janetd4862]

Well, Dani, I’ve spent the last week organizing my studio, and let me tell you that your room looks empty compared to mine! I’ve got decades of fabric, yarn, and other fiber crafts. Add in sewing machines, a serger, a loom, three antique sock knitting machines.... My quilting frame doesn’t fit in here, and we won’t mention the flatbed knitting machine I just purchased. I loved watching what you did to your room, and envy your wall space! I have windows...lots of windows. And a fireplace. I put up my ironing board in front of that (I will never have a fire in there), and bought six foot tall shelving units to put in front of the windows on one wall. I set up all my shelves high enough off the ground that my robo-vac can get under there. I can’t to wait to work in my organized “new” room!

[@claugranados3857]

Looooove your hair, not just the color, but how you do it! Your work is amazing too of course

[@melonydever]

We are obsessed with Ivar items. A DIY Danie Ivar hack to create doors would be pretty amazing.

[@chrissy24-7]

I didn't know about the tape hack! *THANKS*! 💕 Room is beautiful 🌸

[@kellyblank8746]

Definitely that corner shelf unit... HUGE favorite 😍

[@NitrosMom074]

I absolutely love this makeover! Oh how I wish I could afford to change all of my thrifted, mismatched and sagging storage items/shelving. I’m not really complaining, I’m super thankful that I have a craft room at all!

[@pamelaatkinson5710]

You can maybe at least coordinate them all with a can a paint.

[@sandikhader1801]

I love your vibe and that you make pinterest mood boards!! Fabulous!

[@mochi_and_me]

This looks great. I did my craft room at the beginning of Covid. I also Marie Condo'd the room. It stressed me out for 4 days. After sorting through all my stuff for 2 days, it still looked like I hadn't got rid of anything. It was a painful well, but looks great now!

[@carriecameron3071]

HOLY CRAP my craft room looks exactly as your “before” room. I needed this video for motivation to tackle it. Thank you!!!

[@cerwelt]

Loved the tape hack. So glad your artsy farts space is where you want it.

[@lovingandlovingturquoisela8043]

Ok this is my favorite makeover to date! Love that it’s organized but has easy access to supplies (so important for a creative space!) so functional but also decorative. Love love love 👏🏻💓

[@greentape7817]

These are the kinds of room makeovers I like the best, seeing creative people re-do their own creative space. Not only does it scratch those reorganize, redecorate itches like all room makeovers do, it gives some insight into how other creatives set up to make their processes more efficient. Not just inspiring how a room should look, inspiring how a room should WORK and how to make creativity as unencumbered and free as possible. Thanks, Danie! (PS that two-panel paint drip piece is dope!)

[@nancyring8104]

OK! The kraft paper on the end of the table is *genius*!! I am for sure stealing that idea!! Love the whole space,btw!❤️

[@janedrewel1329]

Very inspirational. I love that you show to cut in first when you paint. That's what I do. ☺️

[@laurenragle5228]

It turned out SO CUTE! I think my favorite part is the craft paper under the table. Out of the way but always ready to go. So smart! I'm usually using old newspaper for my messier crafts, haha.

[@annieb1012]

This was a real treat, thank you very much! In a future video, I would like to see you do that thing you said the new table would enable you to do: " stand up and sit down at the same time." Very intriguing! (LOL...) But seriously, this is one of the most satisfying room-transformation vids I've see, and I've seen a lot!

[@judym4673]

Love the craft paper roll under the desk !!! 😃 Awesome space

[@vickytimmerman1365]

Love the tape hack!👍👍 love that little good girl, with that Determination in her eyes.

[@k9spot1]

HOW are more people not talking about that brown paper curtain rod hack that is GENIUS

[@kristydoty7150]

I started to rebuild and organize my own studio as C19 ramped up and had to put a pause on it to do homebound distance education with my ASD kiddo and now that it is over, I am trying to find the will to get back into my studio full time... your DIY video actually helped me get back a little of that desire to actually do it! YAY!

[@gm2mx]

Oh Danie you gave me inspiration and a kick in the pants to get my room painted and my craft space organized. I am envious of you I am 3 hours from an Ikea and don't have a vehicle that all my "wants" would fit in. I love your style and look forward to your creative diys.

[@penelopejenner6734]

Adore you! Great room! 2020 has been very difficult and your video's have made me smile and helped me to feel better. Thank you!

[@FactsNFiction777]

The tape hack to hang picture frames is brilliant! Going to try that next time.

[@careya]

I found a counter height expandable dining table at Home Goods a few years ago. It’s huge! I put it in the middle of my sewing space so I can access it from all angles. The base has a big drawer for supplies and a shelf on which my 3 machines can fit. One of my favorite purchases of all time.

[@dipu12341]

U have such a warm personality. Really admirable

[@tharp769]

Just found your channel! What a beautiful space you've created.😍 The tape trick is great! I have a similar trick. But, yours is much more "advanced".😜 The curtains are stunning! Love the texture & the ethereal-ness.💙 And, I have to say...your painting of the African lady is just gorgeous!💜 Ty so much for sharing your makeover. Truly inspirational.❤

[@brennanbooker3593]

You can always add canvas storage by doing a drop down holder from the ceiling (sort of like how people store kayaks?). They’re super space efficient and easy to install.

[@amandajohnson4428]

Girl...YOU did an Awesome job!!! I love the entire project!!! 😘💕🙌🏾

[@areebabilal1481]

She has got such amazing energy and is so entertaining that I watched the whole intro, which I don't usually do. So obviously, even if this is my first video, I subbed :)

[@justCarila]

Hi Danie! I really like how authentic you are, showing your messy room and how you fixed it. Also when you try something, doesn't work and then try something else. Once I watched using an art brush on a chair!! The same happened to me!! XD You are great!

[@MommaBearsCorner]

girl, i been doing DIY forever, having a father who was a carpenter and I never saw that tape hack! LOVE IT, need it... will use it ... best organizer video for my needs. picked up a few great ideas. Been doing mine similar, but ya still solved a few things so thanks! and your new area loos great and so functional...

[@michelleh1822]

So satisfying to watch! Living vicariously thru u and wishing I could pitch my kids stuff and make a room for mine...instead if jamming everything into every nook and cranny I can find. Such a dreamy space,

[@debrakinder5824]

Love your videos because they are so REAL! I have a room like that and I need to do it also. Thanks for consistently producing quality content.

[@sarahleslie3808]

Looks amazing!! I love a good purge and organize - so satisfying! Love the light and how bright the room looks with the new colour.

[@helenreid7022]

Oh that room looks sooo much better! I bet you feel lighter! Love the desk and shelves!

[@SedarSederhana]

Love your idea using curtain rod for your craft paper! Nicely done 👍🏻😁

[@pattyhendrick2969]

My favorite part is your table!! Very cool 😎

[@zoex7993]

Finally! A before video that actually looks like my art room lol. I have been watching all of these videos where the room isn't even messy and I'm like come on this is not even realistic or helpful for me. Thank you for sharing your actual mess for those of us with real busy lives and real messy art rooms :-)

[@matriarchfacilitator]

Nice and so inspiring thank you!! My favorite part was the curtains very sweet and they bring so much natural light in!!

[@magietagie]

I love the shelves! They so go with a workroom vibe!

[@karengerber8390]

I love how the black is repeated, in the (fabulous idea!) cart of "in progress", stool, foot ease mat & light fixture...along with the white, wood & greenery of plants. The table is brilliant use of space!

[@petra3498]

Gurl you did it again 😍✌️ what a great makeover and a WOW result. Love the table

[@vickinoeske1711]

Danie the art room turned out great! Stylish and organized, who could ask for anything more? Love the desk and light fixture.

[@anniejr92]

I don’t know why you don’t have millions of subscribers! Ur so great!

[@123cindyb]

Dani, you did an amazing job! I have a room that looks just like the “before”. I live in North Carolina. When can you come over?!?! 😄

[@kiki29073]

When she's done with yours she can hop on down to mine in South Carolina. I was think that if she abd Alexander wanted to visit the American South they could do mine and yours plus others needing help. They would have plenty of content. They need Mr. Katers camper she redid or Elysia English's and take their shows on the road. Lol

[@pennynickels5216]

I invited her to my place last week! First.

[@erikas974]

Stand in line 😄 she need to come to my place to help (in Australia😢😭) too far away.

[@spencerdeboer1679]

Have you considered adding a paper towel holder as well to under your desk? I found it soooo helpful!

[@christinabo63]

I use the Ivar shelves in all my rooms except the bathroom. In the kitchen it holds my microwave and baskets with food items (my pantry), in the bedroom I added a drawer unit and use it as dresser/wardrobe (built in closets aren't a thing in Germany). In the living room it acts as my TV stand, in the crafty room it's for storage as in this video, with many boxes for keeping like with like. In the hallway I use one as storage above my freezer, the 83cm version is wide enough. I love the possibilities and adjustable heights of the shelves. Reorganizing is so easy with this system.

[@ronaldgayfield3730]

Wow, you painted a room. How amazing!

[@Randis-vv5hg]

Danie - your videos always make me smile! Love your positivity and DIY spirit! Keep 'em coming.

[@Randis-vv5hg]

Also what is that gorgeous drink you're sipping??

[@archakanna1429]

i am only at 2min..but i know this will be soo satisfying..cause we neednmore disastrous rooms like this..

[@sarahchevelle]

My office has become my storage area! I am so inspired! 💜 Sarah

[@sierrareyelts1481]

It’s so beautiful! I love the paper over the work bench hack and the priority shelf for current projects! 😍❤️

[@whitneyadventures2099]

This was the inspiration I needed to organize my space today! I love how motivating your videos are!!😊❤

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

What a calm room Danie !!! Having the desk in the middle pulls the room together and gives you lots of craft space around it to reach over and pull. I love your artwork too girl. You're very gifted. Be well. Much love ❤️

[@MelDidItHerself]

Totally using that curtain rod idea with craft paper on the workbench I’m going to be putting together in my garage :) per usual, a great way to start my Saturday! Yay for our favourite neighbourhood DIYer 🌟

[@readingdiary3783]

I love your art room so so much. It's a very cozy room and brings lots of inspiration ....... thanks for your sharing, Danie. ❤

[@Gabrielle499]

Awesome video!! Awesome content! Awesome Art room!! Love it and am ready for a weekend of organizing my studio apartment 😁🙌❤️

[@samarakirkk]

i’m new here! i love colouring and abstract art! danie reminds of someone special to me and i love this channel!! 😊

[@cherylk8781]

Love the IVAR shelving system😍

[@kcanded]

I have two favorites: the air plants in the little round globes on the wall, and the perfect way your shelving unit fit into the little enclosure on the side. I wish I had a craft room.....

[@avmeade]

I have a big version of that light over my kitchen table! Seeing you use the same style just made me so happy since I love your style so much!!

[@dianeo]

This is EXACTLY my situation! The art room that turned into a chaotic storage space. My room layout is so similar to yours including one window and wall to wall stuff. Each time I try to tackle it, I get overwhelmed, walk out and close the door. So stressful, and frustrating to find anything. The transformation is inspiring. Maybe this will finally give me the kick in the a** I need.

[@danielalvarez5269]

Can’t wait!!!! I’m very Obsessively fan of the Wizarding World 🧙🏻‍♂️💫✨

[@vishnupriyaananth6090]

Awsome, well done Danie... Favs are table and storage...👍

[@lettienugent]

THANK YOU! Looking at your 'current art space' showed me that I'M NOT ALONE! It turned out SO NICE! I might 'have' to get me a table like yours.. hmm.

[@judyrobertson9479]

All of it is great but the Kraft paper holder was genius!

[@OrganizeCreateDecorate]

Great transformation Danie! I hear you about having one of those "rooms". Right now it's the guest room while we're redoing the bedroom we keep for our grandson here. Luckily no one is visiting during the pandemic so it worked out.

[@pamelaatkinson5710]

So happy for you! This is a beautiful transformation. So much weight coming off your shoulders with each new transformation! Would love to see at least the pile of what was let go, Marie Kondo style, sitting out in the driveway or as a pile of trash bags so we can see the amount of downsizing that took place. It LOOKS like there is a lot less stuff in here. A brown corner cabinet is missing, the rug, too, right? Did any old art or supplies get tossed? LOVE your desk solution that allows you to change the height of your workspace!!! It is great that there are so many height options! Love the backsaver mat to stand on. Love how the cabinets fit around your walls in the corner so perfectly. Love the metal cabinet underneath! Also love the beautiful curtains and trailing philodendron and greens throughout which turn this from a storage area to a living area. Just a great space! Looks like if you need more shelving you have room for it in the nook where you put the red and white wreath. Think I would have put the bulletin board on the same wall with the chalk board and let the space next to the shelves where the bulletin board is be for extra tall supplies or an ironing board, but I defer to your expertise in this. lol. Great job! Enjoy this!

[@theadventuresofsandyland4961]

This is great! I love the desk tweaks you did! Your videos are great and you are always so cheerful and funny! Thanks for sharing 😄

[@lindabradbeer9567]

Omgeeee I needed your video today. I’ve been staring at my art space for months now. I may move one thing from one side or another. Thank you Danie! I loved the colourful painting you did of a woman. Live in Colour! Exactly!! 🌈🦋💐

[@katzama12]

Love the curtain rod/ craft paper hack! I have an overhang on the desk I built and now I know what I’m going to do with it!

[@LazyDIY-THRIFT]

Dani, love the lavender!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@virginiag4499]

I just started to organize my work space today, I was looking for inspiration videos and I after watching some videos I came across with your video and I identify with you! Thank you 💕

[@jeannawalton8107]

It looks so good! When things are organized when you have a lot of things you need.........you can just feel the tension melt away ;)

[@deborahmiller8636]

Oh Danie, how I wish you lived near me. I could use a new craft room space. I have the space but I'm not organized at all. I love what you did with your room. Congrats on finishing your room.

[@natsnest6347]

Very satisfying......liked the curtain rail hack with the roll of paper.....going to do something similar but on the ceiling to hang plants from..😁😁

[@EchoamysDoghouse]

I like trestle legs but they take up so much space. It is nice you have storage in yours. My favorite part is the craft paper roll.

[@karenmcneill2602]

Such an exciting result! The Ikea shelves etc are superb. I absolutely enjoyed your video Danie, as always! Your art work is a pleasure to see.

[@sazennonumber]

So, so enjoyable to watch. Thanx for sharing, the space looks great and is a huge improvement.

[@darlosstroud870]

Amazing transformation as usual. Love your sense of humor. Thanks for increasing your content over Covid19, it helps inspire the rest of us.

I love the end product. So relaxing!

[@kindataleb8982]

[@lorrainegatzke1048]

I love the IKEA adjustable tressel legs. 💖

[@stevietv321]

Those shelves are amazing! I’ve seen the shelves at IKEA but seeing them in your space looks and functions so well.

[@ciannacoleman5125]

Love the transformation! I hope you are getting lots of use from your “new” room.
