*REVEAL* tiny closet turns into a custom diy vanity space | DIY Danie

[@DIYDanie]

DIY Friends! I just wanted to take a moment to reiterate how thankful I am for all of you sticking with me for three weeks on this project 💜 I know it’s not ideal to make a project into a 3- parter but I wanted to make sure I could show all the ups and downs and what It takes to really create a project on the scale, by yourself. Don’t even get me started on doing it yourself and also filming it haha 😂 Your support has meant the world Xo I love this community so much. Grateful for all of you! 💜

[@nathalieferron5735]

I think you're great! You're really inspiring and have your own style. For the lights, there are some bulbs where you switch the light once it's "daylight", you switch it the second time and it's warm.

[@courtneyG89]

Omg the George of the Jungle comment STOP! I literally said this to my husband last week!😂 We’ve been on a “Mummy” kick! LOVE the final product of this series! You are truly so talented and just the brightest beam of light on this gloomy Saturday morning! Much much love from Nashville, TN!💜

[@BurnsieJ22]

Don’t mind a 3-parter at all! You went THROUGH IT girl! Appreciate the realness!

[@morgankirkland3118]

Do you, boo. Thanks for making creative content. When you share your creativity with us, we are blessed. Don't worry about the structure. ❤️

[@Veradis]

Here for every episode, even if it is 1am in Australia 💜💟💜💟💜

[@ms.robinson9852]

Me + Pj's + warm blankie + coffee + diy Danie = the best Saturday 🥰

[@DIYDanie]

Yaaas! That sounds amazing!

[@BurnsieJ22]

Its the ritual ☕️

[@heylo757]

Literally stopped vid to brew coffee. Gotta do it right!

[@sarahjanke9945]

Lol same!

[@marthamiller-plumb1059]

Best any day, really! 😍

[@oldestsis3]

Hi Danie, This is stunning! I’m 75 years old and because of your videos, I’m looking for a beginner Woodworking class in my area. If you ever doubt your work again, you’re my hero and inspiration! ❤

[@sifrade]

You are my inspiration, truly!! Tip: swap the bulbs for adjustable smart ones, then you can have the warm glow and the bright day light, also the warm glow can be useful to do your makeup if you are just going for a soft light night event ☺

[@deborahmatatall]

This is beautiful, Dani! Yes, I would love to see how you organize your new space. I’m so incredibly impressed with what you accomplish in your videos! I’m addicted to reno videos and some of their projects are done over many episodes. I think this was great to spread this out over three episodes. You were able to share more info and detail that way.🌸

[@stumblin_along]

This project turned out beautifully! The wallpaper, the dresser color, the hardware, everything! I would really like to see how you organize this space. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@jjbb987]

A quick tip for painting when you don't want to tape of is get a really stiff piece of cardboard that is comfortable to use and then wrap it in cling wrap. You place it up up against the wall and just go. If it gets paint build up you wipe it off. It takes a little bit of practice but it really helps.

[@robynsnest22]

This is absolutely stunning! The only thing I thought you would do, is spray paint the accordion mirror a brass colour to match the other metal pieces. 💜

[@kevinlmustang]

Same thing I was thinking!

[@MiriamTV2]

The only thing I'd change is the vent cover, either spray it gold or paint it the same blue as the rest of the dresser. Beautifully done! I long for the day when I will have the space to take on similar projects!

[@ajh0198]

Ooh being blue and blending in with the dresser would be so nice! Great idea!

[@orladarcy2924]

Yes we want to see the vanity organisation! We are invested in this entire Vanity station journey now. Its so beautiful, you are such an inspiration 💖

[@wendyreekes9563]

Yes - want to see the organization!!! Would love to see how you use the space!

[@chrisvolkoff5819]

This was such a journey with you! STUNNING! The color, the wallpaper, the built in, the sconces! The heart, sweat and tears you put into the DIY! WE WERE and ARE WITH YOU DANIE! I know you will enjoy this! And yes to organized video. Give your self a high five, pat on the back, celebratory adult beverage! Wahoo!

[@vannili2742]

I actually enjoy it so much more to watch a project over several weeks than having an overload in changes. I think extreme makeovers make it so much harder to enjoy the little details and appreciate the work that goes into everything.

[@judyshallstrom415]

Having owned and lived in OLD houses most of my 73 years...sometimes you just call it charm. And sometimes, you can fix it, like now! And , no holes aren't charm. And THIS is beautiful! Loved every moment of this adventure!!!

[@raynatullett7063]

LOVE that blue! Thank you for sharing ALL this diy saga. We really appreciate knowing that even the best has to sometimes deal with random glitches and wonky floors and walls. That new vanity is super cool and so beautiful. You rock! xxx

[@debloui]

Looks amazing!!! One trick I learned with wallpaper is to paint the wall a similar colour to the main one in your wallpaper. Especially when it’s a dark wallpaper. That way, if you end up with a tiny gap between the seams, you don’t have a white line down the wall. Well done on such a breathtaking makeover. I always learn so much from you ❤

[@c0urtn3y526]

Watching Brenden Fraser in that movie is NEVER weird. 😍🔥

[@lauris5708]

This is my favorite thing that you've ever done. The wallpaper is divine and I love the paint color. And you BUILT A DRESSER!!!! It all looks so good; you must be so proud! Well done!

[@lechatbotte.]

I’m so excited to seen the final reveal. Danie making DIYers everywhere feel they too can accomplish anything…….well almost anything hee hee. One word shims, my house is crazy I use a lot of shims. Lol

[@DIYDanie]

Yeah girl! You absolutely can - even if you just need a good cry in the middle of it 😂😂

[@LizaGvozdevaLifePsychology]

I love it! Danie, you've done so mush work! All these teeny tiny details, that borrows but should be done, they make a difference of perception. In small work is huge impact. Women power! In my opinion I would make the bottom part (box for vent) either narrower in comparison to dresser depth or has fake fronts as actual dresser. In first example, the dresser could be deeper, bottom part could be painted in color of walls or darker as well as the baseboard under it. It could have front legs, fluted shapes, turned wood, golden metal etc. In case of fake fronts the baseboard should be dark blue. Handles to the fake fronts - yes. Vent cover - maybe its possible to drill a bunch of holes in plywood facade (in some pretty order) and do not use this cover at all. I am obsessed with your wallpaper! By the way in Ukraine its typical to glue real wallpaper, not peel-and-stick one. I use dry glue that diluted with water, it is very handy!

[@jenniehendrickson3118]

Who wants to be DIY Danie when they grow up? This girl right here! ❤️

[@nothingworksworks3511]

I'd also like to rescue those beautiful vintage wardrobes, seriously see them for free and they deserves LOVE

[@ccancglin]

“The right way is any way!” Could not agree more ❤

[@MK-lp4he]

While you were focusing on the frustration of having a house that isn’t level, I was in awe of your ability to fix the problem. Celebrate the things that matter, like you!

[@sierrareyelts1481]

No worries! Your honesty behind the scenes has shown us how crazy of a project this has been. I’m so glad it finally came all together for you! ❤

[@BurnsieJ22]

I LOVE this!!! It turned out so good!! If you ever revisit it, it be cool to do the inside of the drawers in one of the pink tones from the wallpaper. Loveee this!

[@wallywaffles1333]

Or to paper them with the wallpaper!

[@arandomwoman2310]

Great idea!

[@starbrown1219]

It looks beautiful. Love the wallpaper and the sconces. Would love to see you organize it for sure.

[@karenholt8441]

Yes! We want to see everything you do! Well, not EVERYTHING. And please don’t apologize for a 3 part video. I love being on tenterhooks, waiting for the next video. I wake up on Saturday, usual routine………then I remember, DIY DANIE!!!! Stop everything and watch! You go girl! You Rock girl! You EVERYTHING girl!

[@janetd4862]

I lived (for 36 years) in an old house , built in 1910. Dressers always had “lifts” on the front legs…even the Christmas tree always had wedges under the stand. No, I never liked it, but you live with it. There are all sorts of quirks found in old houses - like finding out your bedroom light is on the same breaker as the freezer in the utility room! That was a huge project you did, but it really is beautiful! Great job!

[@rokelle_2012]

WOW, I didn't follow the journey from the start and I'm watching it after the fact but this is absolutely incredible! I absolutely love the transformation. So proud of you!

[@YayaBolender]

Yes, I’m interested in how you organize your vanity. The wallpaper is amazing! The whole project turned out great!

[@KatiesLifeAdventure]

PJ’s, Cozy blanket, and breakfast sandwich! Sounds like a DIY Danie Morning 🥰! Let’s see the organization that you create!

[@laraontoast]

Solidarity from a fellow Sideways House sister. My partner uses a wheelchair to navigate our sloped, slanty floor and we chuckle about having our own personal ski slope.

[@vikigossen1578]

I like that you don't skip over the troublesome things that tend to get in the way and cause me to lose momentum on any project. It would be easier to not point out the issues and camouflage them on video but those are the real obstacles that need to be addressed somehow and it helps to see your decisions and results.

[@barbarasanroman9484]

Love, Love, Love!!! From the wallpaper, to the color of the vanity, to the darker wood top and gold brass! Pat yourself on yhe back for an incredible kob well done. Worth all the tears. I vote yes for sharing vanity organization.

[@OspreySoul]

That Beast Wars clip just threw me about 23 years back in time.

[@LittleBit123]

Yes Danie!!! This looks truly amazing, so professional yet personalized. I love that you challenged yourself to make the dresser. Also I’m totally down for multiple part series!

[@dreamingofpemberly]

I have an old house too, and you're correct, sometimes the right way is any way... Especially when stuff ain't square and the people before that helped with repairs did not know what they were doing... You find a whole lot that people told you was one way and then it turns out its not. Such is the life of a diyer, especially like me who is still learning 😮‍💨😅

[@rachelrussell5355]

That wallpaper!!!! And then when you opened the lid to the paint, I gasped, she's gorgeous!! Congratulations!

[@amsbmp]

Yes, it would great if we could see diy organizing from Danie.... Its a beautiful new space. Your creativity is awesome. I love the whole reimagined space and how you brought it to life. Ty for sharing.... Here's a quote from my grandmother "It's the imperfections that make it perfect". Nothing is truly "perfect" it's all in how you perceive it. And I see it as a beautiful and functional space. It's a win win in my book. Again Ty

[@BaskEtcAse1970]

After all the challenges you faced to get this done, you nailed it (as expected 😊). Congrats! I also love it. The only thing I would do differently is put some brass rub and buff on the side mirror maybe 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@lynwill65]

Dark blue is my absolute fave colour, it's like my zen colour. This whole colour scheme is stunningly gorgeous, ESPECIALLY that Wallpaper!!

[@acmulhern]

I love it! The wallpaper, the blue colour, the gold accents, the dark wood top. Incredible.

[@lovefaith6285]

WOW!!! You're such a BEAST!!! And thank you for making it ok to have an old sideways house. DIYs that should be "simple" always turn into a journey and it's frustrating. This was so inspiring!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪

[@deeannaschutz4049]

I totally understand, I bought a house that was 176 yrs old. NOTHING was level, straight. You just have to write it up to character. And remember to Always remember the rule of 'measure twice, cut once.' Also amazing work, love it!

[@nikkilaing5270]

Favorite part: how you persevered. Amazing role model!! Vanity looks fantastic too!

[@cathryncavalli]

Yes yes yes! Future resale you can put a bar across and boom, full closet again! It’s so beautiful!! Also yes to organizing 😊

[@LadyLJOII]

ALERT!!! The initial introduction is LOUD. I had my volume up too high. haha. I was awake, I swear. Excitement is in the air....on this diy. Congrats, Dani! Great job.

[@seancomerford2294]

Came for the diy, stayed for the smoothie. Cool station, cool edit!

[@kathywiszowaty4607]

You definitely knocked this one out of the park, in spite of the couple of rough spots along the way, when so many of us would throw in the towel you are very inspiring to all your followers!!! ✌️& ❤

[@DIYDanie]

💜💜💜

[@annbrookens945]

It came out GREAT, Danie! The wallpaper is gorgeous. This is such a good reimagining of a ridiculously tiny closet jammed into an alcove! Wonderful job!

[@carmenbyfield8731]

OMG, when you added the top, I swore because it looks so AMAZING.

[@lauracomer8896]

My favorite part of these three videos’ was you working through the issues. I’m tackling live edge shelves for my craft room and it inspired me.

[@mc8202]

i love it. the colours are stunning. can really imagine this transformed as a nursery as well. Love the lights + mirror + wallpaper + navy blue ! truely beautiful

[@sanchez1009]

Now all it needs is a plush high chair to really relax and do some self care because YOU DESERVE IT

[@julieforan3559]

I think is the best (and loveliest) use of that space possible. It’s more functional and so pretty!!!

[@teacrcek9616]

I would paint that small side mirror gold. I love everything else.

[@carmenemerson9288]

Beautiful job, Danie! I love how down-to-earth you are. Thanks for being another bright light in the world.

[@dianflaterud2157]

'grab your comfy blanket ' and i instinctively obey and I live in the Dominican Republic😆 Loved the wallpaper!

[@gcinamanzini6986]

Watching this with my 3 year old and she loves the wallpaper. Gave it her cutest whispered "Wooow" and I agree🤗💕

[@deidrecrawford4208]

It's beautiful! Yes, I'd love to see how you organize it. We moved a few years ago to a 40ish year old house, from our 100+ house. Ohhhh I miss the character and wonkyness. Man, do you ever have to think outside the box in any project/Reno. There were many years and tonnes of laughs along the way.

[@shara.nelson95]

This couldn’t be prettier. Amazing job!

[@justyb2209]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Beautiful! All that hard work was SO worth it! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾

[@whatlolawants2167]

Dani I think it's marvelous! That wallpaper is divine, the depth and detention of floral, fauna and aviary with those colors, amazing. I would only charge one thing, I would pull the thrifted mirror off and paint it to match the light's. I bet it never occurred to you.

[@judyrobertson9479]

I think if you painted walls that dark blue it would be really stunning. Thanks, love to watch you work

[@mariannamacomber2114]

Wow!!! When you said in the 1st video that you were going to make a dresser I thought uht oh. That's more than i would try. I would have repurposed a dessert to fit. But I'm super proud of you for taking on the challenge and being successful!!! BRAVA!

[@jericho662]

Absolutely beautiful. I think my only comment is that I wish the extendable mirror was brass & vintage, but that obviously does not draw away from the final result. The wood top really warms up the nook. LOVE LOVE LOVE! 💜🖤

[@queencityminis]

I'm so inspired! I am putting wallpaper all over my house. No more white and gray everything.

[@samanthajohnson3368]

Daniel, your always out doing yourself, every project has its twist and turns, but you strive and overcome. Unlevel floors and funky corners are all part of the experience. Try to embrace them as there part and parcel of an old beautiful house. Carictor is worth it's weight in gold. Concrete floors and walls have no warmth or carictor, they may well be square and plum and it may well be easier to make more squares to fit in them, but would that really make you happy. Every job, diy you have done to improve your beautiful home has a wonderful story to go with it, all adding to the history of the house for many more years to come. I Love each and every story you've let us share in. It's a journey in time and a making of something that will add to a story in the future too. 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗

[@GardenerPhyl]

You are the queen of creating Beaty & functionality! What an awesome transformation. Nicely done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@maryvon8518]

I had a weird craving to watch George of the Jungle last week too! So I did. It's still a great movie.

[@karinarey6488]

Seeing the organization setup would be great. I think seeing an updated beauty and/or hair routine would be good to see how you actually use the space as well. It looks great, hope it works great too!

[@saloncat5495]

I feel your pain regarding old houses, we’re rehabbing a 1910 bungalow - NOTHING IS PLUMB! My 36” wide, leveled, back door has a 1” difference from one side to the other - I see it every time I walk out and it drives my little OCD mind crazy!

[@judyescobedo4769]

Yes, please show vanity organization! Love the vanity station! Thank you💕👍

[@bonnieblanc9709]

It's lovely! Great job! Now, paint that vent cover to match. I do it all the time. Prime it, paint it.

[@kap319]

It looks great! Our house is from 1874 and no project has every gone smoothly because of how crooked everything is. 🤦🏽‍♀️😆I still love it though.

[@heylo757]

7:51 Ahhh the caulk finger...er ACRYLIC LATEX SEALANT finger. I know this well from our own home diy's. Love that you show the whole process, even making random corrections in that corner. The grit before the glam!

[@esotericman6369]

Beautiful and it’s my favorite color purple. Great job, young lady.

[@rebeccaerff3811]

I would’ve left a space for a stool or chair so I can sit comfortably while I do my makeup, but it’s beautiful!!!! So proud of you, as usual. 💖

[@laurasmith9726]

The dresser turned out beautiful

[@karineguay-simard8304]

YEEEEEEEEES PLEASE ALWAYS MORE DIY ORGANIZATIONS PLEEEEEEEEEAZZZZZZZZ

[@taylorr.s8082]

It looks amazing and it is always time for an old school Brendan Fraser movie.

[@maryhart637]

Danie, if you haven't seen Mel Brooks' The 12 Chairs, you must!!! Wowza!!❤️💙🌈 Looks so spectacular🥰🥰🥰

[@diamend5]

I would totally use the wallpaper as the drawers’ lining 😻

[@flamingoliz]

Your nook turned out really lovely, I love the wallpaper and paint and brass. Everything looks great together. And no, it's not weird to have random thoughts of George of the Jungle! It's the best! ❤😆

[@chocolatebunnies94]

I too now want to watch George of the Jungle. Your vanity turned out gorgeous, just one more thing telling me to go ahead and wallpaper the wall behind my bed.

[@cherievallee646]

Great job. It’s nice to see that everything doesn’t go smoothly. Because renovations at my house sure don’t 😂

[@zorgon2426]

So, when you were putting it all together at the end it was lovely and THEN you brought in the stained butcher block top and, well, damn. That was IT for me. So beautiful and moody and modern and just lovely! Well done! I have a project for my kitchen that I'd like to tackle but no idea how to start. I have a weird island thing that separates the kitchen from dining room and I want to make a bar that attaches to it so I can get rid of the table that takes up so much space. It's not a big dining room and I already have a hutch that houses some appliances and with a table in the space too, it makes for cramped quarters. Keep on DIY'in Dani!

[@aimeecreative]

What an incredible job!!! Omg I LOVE IT!! And that wallpaper is a dream!! Also…George of the jungle rocks! 😂

[@anitacalivas8315]

We already knew you were truly capable of anything- glad you caught up to us!! Hahahaha TFI ❤❤❤

[@aprillauman]

Saturdays are the only morning I get to sleep in and your weekly videos get me excited about being awake! 😆 It looks fabulous. The wallpaper is my fave because I am a bird nerd. Organization is my jam - love when you add those videos in! Can’t wait to see what you tackle next. 😁

[@xingcat]

A terrific conclusion to this project! Also, it was good to see Jess for a bit.

[@jacquelineturbitt5509]

Yes I would love to see the vanity organization too...my favorite part besides all of it has to be the wallpaper and paint match for the vanity...you did an amazing piece of furniture and accent wall...give yourself a good pat on the back...I am happy I found your channel thru your collaboration with Alexandra...the interior decorator from Toronto...and am so happy I did...THANK YOU for sharing your work with us...HUGS HUGS HUGS from Artic air mass COLD COLD COLD Nova Scotia Canada...HUGS HUGS HUGS because you can never have enough HUGS

[@teresacamp3365]

Yes I want to see you organize your Vanity always more hehe ! I SO UNDERSTAND THE OLD HOUSE THING ! lived in one old house stuffed big crack with shopping bags calked then painted. Lived there 6 years and was still good when we moved . Would love to see the look on the person face that finds them !

[@lornanorris1363]

Thinking about watching George of the jungle isn't weird, sometimes when I'm crafting I think of things I don't usually think about. 😊✌️the space turned out great 👍

[@leishamortimer]

Finally! The reveal!

[@kebert2thumbsup]

I love how this turned out. *chef's kiss *

[@ronshamc]

I loved this whole thing from beginning to end, but especially the set back you had showing us the reality of your process. How frustrating it can get at times. Makes me love your channel even more. Great job 👏

[@busrasuheyla]

The Wallpaper and selfmade dresser are chefs kiss! So soo beautiful srsly, I think my style is very similar but with a lighter colour palette like sage green, sand, warm white, mauve. I would have done the same design with these colours BUT tbh your home is very light in most areas so having a pop of colour and moody feel is so nice. Very romantic and feminine 🥰😻

[@mozwatch5708]

Q: Do you think that colour of the beautiful cabinet, would look nice in a small /pantry like kitchen just the lower ones with handles?? TIA Dani, you are a strong woman; and are teaching most of us to continue to be strong and keeping it real, and learning about living/renting diy's.. independently, through home diy's I know a lot of seniors applaud your diys; you are the most caring of humans...virtually and keep doing what you love ❣❣🌞🌞🤟🤟
