[@CVenza]

Please can you post the dimensions of your garden shed? also the greenhouse. 🧡💛💙

[@DaintyDiaries]

@@CVenza Hey, the greenhouse is 8ft X 8ft and not sure about the shed, it is small, roughly 6ft X 4ft. but not definite.

[@Clarityinspire]

My favourite bit was you using the rake 😅 I can so relate but well done for overcoming 🥰🤣xxx

[@aliagnes6166]

I love that you do all this handy man work dressed like a lovely lady. Way to go, you are super sweet.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw, thank you Ali x

[@martinamagulova2033]

Hi, dear Catherine.👋😉 I don't want to repeat myself, but I can't do otherwise. You're just GREAT !!!👍😊 Thanks for another great video. With love and greetings Maťa from Slovakia🐈🍀🐞🌳🐦🎶 Bye

[@145iamveruca1]

3:02 smashed that thumbs up due to your bravery

[@jo-annebotha9609]

Catherine, I had such a laugh when I watched you clearing out with the spider repellent device (rake). Not a condescending laugh, though, a sympathy one. I'm always afraid that spiders will jump on me. Can't wait to see your greenhouse!

[@DaintyDiaries]

The fear was real! 🤣🤣🤣

[@jacklynbennett620]

You are a blessed and talented young woman. Very impressive makeover.

[@nickie5767]

Bless you. Spiders don’t bother me but I am PETRIFIED of mice and their bigger cousins! Gives me the jitters ! Fab job , wish you lived near to me! Xxxx

[@pennyhanson2598]

I bet you were glad when the job of emptying out the shed was over! It looks great with a coat of light paint and so much easier to keep an eye out for spiders! Hope you don’t have to wait too long for your greenhouse! 🤞🏻 Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks for watching Penny ❤️I was soo glad! totally worth it x

[@dogwhiskers8]

I can relate to your hands being held close to your body each time you go in the shed. The 'they may be creepy crawlies' stance.

[@DaintyDiaries]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 that made me giggle, so true! That’s the stance of fear

[@mariebrennan1229]

You are a credit to your family, they should be so proud of you 😇

[@DaintyDiaries]

That’s so kind Marie x

[@rachelphelps6347]

In my shed I'd be more watchful for snakes and mice rather than spiders!! I have read that Ireland doesn't have any snakes! Wow!! Love seeing you use the spray painter. That sure looks easier than brush painting and so much faster!! Looks great! Another job well done Catherine!!

[@Jo.H.]

You did a great Catherine, a good declutter and a lick of paint does wonders. I’m not scared of spider’s but petrified of mice and rat’s. When I first moved into my home a rat ran from under my shed. I rang the council and they asked did I use bird feeders, I did. They said that’s why, and I live around the corner from a canal. I didn’t think about rat’s and canal situation when I bought my house, I still check the shed before I go in 😂 21 yrs later 😊 Have a lovely weekend 😊💖

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw nooo that does not sound fun!! Thanks for stopping by Jo xx

[@Jo.H.]

@@DaintyDiaries I love the canal, beautiful walk’s with my dog’s. But I still check the shed 😂 even though I have only seen a rat once. Take care 💖

[@larag1764]

The robin's song was so pretty (we don't have them in Australia). You were so brave to tackle those spiders !!!

[@DaintyDiaries]

I was lucky my brother was there to help! 😂😂 Thanks for watching Lara xx

[@jamiemasterson3029]

You have a lovely home, and you work so hard to keep it so. Every inch of your property screams with your love and personality. Well done, you.

[@DaintyDiaries]

aw that means so much to me! I love making my space my own 💕 💕

[@emeraldalba]

🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shivareeeeeee Spiders! Feel your fear Catherine, you're a braver gal than I Gunga Din! Hahahahaha But what a difference a lick of paint can do to a webful and spideree shed! Can't wait to see it all Daintified with pretty curtains and trinkets and treasures! Also, look forward to seeing your new greenhouse full of growing greenery. Fab video and a welcome wee change this week for me. Been a bit crap this week but a bit of Dainty cheers me up no end. Thanks lovely lass!

[@Emeralds.Bee4]

I don’t have a shed but watching your shed transformation was very inspiring 🏠 🌳

[@DaintyDiaries]

Glad you enjoyed it x

[@sitiaisyahhappas9618]

I'm very busy, therefore I will watch your videos one by one but a bit later. But I make sure to make time watching them. I love your videos. You're an inspiration. You go girl! 😍

[@soarinpanda8walker563]

I also hate spiders so you were brave to get in there and clear it out.It looks so much better.Thanks for sharing.

[@cherylmacedo5521]

Ok Dainty Catherine....your little Potting Shed is a remarkable sweet makeover. Truly unbelievable what you did. Everything you do is beautiful, inspirational, and just what our eyes, hearts, and souls crave. ❤️🤍💚💕. Isn’t it special to have a brother who loves you enough to come by and help. My brother lives 600 miles away, yet will be coming to see me tomorrow for a week’s visit to help me in the yard and garden. Haven’t seen him for 2 years and it’s like Christmas Eve to me....🥰🥰🥰❤️🥰🥰🥰

[@DaintyDiaries]

I'm very lucky he could help!! Thank you so much that's so sweet! ❤️❤️

[@ΦύλλιςΡάπτη]

Great job!! Your home is like a fairytale! Every single corner of it! Many kisses from Greece!! Bravo!!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Your so kind, thank you xxx

[@lindsey43ful]

Hi Catherine, have binged watched all your videos since discovering your channel. Loving your vibe!. Keep doing what you’re doing x

[@janewhitlock9074]

I had a giggle lol but oh God it makes you feel great to have a clear out well done looking good girl x

[@suzannechabot1508]

So proud of you for getting in there and overcoming your spider fear to clean out the shed....great Job! It's so nice and clean.....but you know what would look nice, would be shutters on either side of the window with a window box with flowers.....just a little suggestion....

[@Mary10538]

Oooh, so nice. You inspired me to clean my shed. Thank you Catherine. It looks so nice

[@CottageontheCorner]

I bet you could make a greenhouse outof old windows. You should make some stepping stones for that area out of concrete.

[@helengannon8855]

Brave woman I'd have gloves, a hood, my pants tucked in and still a man doing the clearing

[@deepestanio4625]

Seeing a spider in the bathroom in the morning freaks me out for the day lol! What a beautiful job you did in spite of him or her❤️

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Hi Catherine you had us laughing the way you were cleaning your shed out because you thought a spider might get you lol The shed looks great 2 Chicky tumbs up👍👍❤

[@amybriggs6586]

I can't wait to see you potting shead !!!! Nothing like a garden spot ❤❤❤

[@dianacockerill9479]

...”a talent for stuffing things into small places” 🤣🤣 that’s me too 👍🏻

[@girlzintexas]

Whoo hoo you did it! Victory over the 🕸🕷🕸🕷🕸🕷

[@jojohnston4113]

Fabulous re-do, Dainty!

[@abuelitap65]

Oh Catherine I'm with you Spiders-NO THANK YOU.!! Great job in decluttering your shed. TYFS (Pauline S)

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks Pauline aw you know my struggle😂😂 Thanks for watching xx

[@chrisandjasmine3077]

Great declutter video Catherine. You were so brave tackling the spider carpet lol. I'm terrified of spiders and would ask my husband to deal with them but he doesn't like them either lol. Your shed is so tidy it's fab. We have three sheds in our small garden a daddy shed, mummy shed and a baby shed. We have no garage like at our cottage so had to put up my wee small old shed and hubby had to buy a new shed to put his Motorbike in which he put beside the shed that came with our house. In my big shed we have it full of tools and DIY stuff and two metal tables and 8 chairs and a 8 seater dining table a toilet tent and two deck chairs and a sun lounger and a large parasol and a gazebo and an outdoor coffee table sofa and two arm chairs plus a fudge freezer and a tall larder freezer. Barely room to move in there can't wait til the storms and bad weather stops so I can empty the shed and put all the furniture back outdoors and get the gazebo back up. Like you I would love a greenhouse but have no space left lol. I would use a greenhouse as like a mini orangery and put a wee seat and table in it with some pretty flowers in pots and a wee outdoor chandelier 😊. Look forward to seeing your greenhouse once it comes 😊xx

[@Poppy-]

Ha ha ha how accurate! The ad before this was Mc Donald's: hash browns 🍟😂 I am so glad you finally tackled the shed. Everything you touch turns pretty and dainty. Giving us frugal ideas to do and declutter our own shed/porch.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks for watching Poppy 💕 That's a sign to get the hash browns!!

[@janetbyrne7765]

Catherine, I’m so proud of you! I have been waiting for this video. You’ve mentioned a few times since I’ve been watching your videos that you had to deal with that shed and those spiders!! I knew you would eventually do it, because you are always doing what most of us are too nervous to try without your encouragement. This is a VERY satisfying video! Your shed turned out beautifully! I always laugh when I see you wearing a Dainty outfit to do a messy job! So, thank you for showing me how to approach a challenging task with a good can-do attitude!

[@DaintyDiaries]

That means so much to me thank you for the sweet words ❤️❤️

[@zoeemiko8149]

I got one of the Rubbermaid storage benches to set on the side of my house in a small garden area. The bottom is a big storage area I use to store all my saved wood! It keeps it dry & protected but it still useful for seating. I made cushions for it there is just enough room left to tuck inside during bad weather. Great job on the potting shed! It looks so clean & crisp inside & out now.

[@beccaandcharliesworld5571]

Declutter....that's an evil word for me. I cannot rid myself of stuff. Sentimental stuff...omg...I have such a hard time letting go. I would love to see more declutter videos by you because you inspire me. Thanks sweetie xoxo

[@DaintyDiaries]

aw, glad to inspire, I have linked to a declutter playlist in the description x, I hope you enjoy

[@elaineg7073]

The spider fear is real 😂 reminded me of mum and I tidying the summerhouse and we saw lots of massive spiders...the screaming 😱😱 hilarious! Goodness knows what the neighbours thought 😄🕷🕸🥵

[@tiinathelightwhisperer]

LOVE your videos. Sometimes it makes me giggling ´cause I see myself in you. Same thoughts, same attitude. It is so fun. It is one proper shed now! :D

[@stephm281]

Job well done cleaning out and painting your shed. Blondes like our big boy. He’d rather lay there and watch. Lol 👍🏻👍🏻

[@beautifuldreamer6247]

Very cute and fun video. A word of caution...never keep paint and chemicals in a shed. It could easily catch fire on a hot day.

[@tbone1989]

What a cute little shed you have...with a bird house on the front. 💞💕 Love the window and the shelf outside. A lovely set of curtains inside and maybe a wind chime near by outside? I’m ok with spiders, every creature has a purpose. Just not on me...lol. Personally I have a thing about tree frogs...long story. Loved hearing the robins! I caught two visiting one of my bird baths recently. So awesome! I think this is the first time I’ve seen you get paint on you...lol. Great job!

[@theguest3389]

Great job on your shed!!! You were very brave facing those spiders!!! 🥳🎊🥳 Your yard is really coming along. 😷😎😷

[@oceanbrzzz]

Catherine! Wonderful video. I didn’t have hooks - In my shed I pounded 2 nails close together and hung up shovels, forks, rakes etc. across 2 walls of my shed. I felt so proud of myself. (I have lots of big nails).

[@karilynjaquest8739]

Great job getting past the spiders. We have redbacks and huntsmans in ours. I don't mind spiders but those huntsmans are huge and fast and hide in little crevices and give you a fright even though they are harmless.

[@moyaking8961]

I have recently moved to a 3 bedroomed bungalow with lots of fruit trees and 2 Olive trees. I've done a ton of stuff including a rockery today. My husband keeps saying it'll be maintenance soon. He doesn't understand that a gardener is always striving for that certain something to be added to the garden. My next purchase will be a Summerhouse. But before I get that I need to rebuild a wooden arch that I found by the bin 😀

[@TheMag625]

I would love a Hartley greenhouse, would be a dream comes true 💖💖💖 Your garden is looking sooo lovely xx

[@MazCud]

You did an amazing job! Very soothing and inspirational vid 🥰🥰

[@lisacheezecheeze1002]

Thanks for the inspiration! My neighbors laugh at me because I hate going in my shed - the creepy critters! I'm going to clear it out and paint!!

[@gingerspath3565]

You were very brave! It looks AWESOME!

[@Kelli.Hicks.5]

Looks great! I love the addition of the shelf under the window.

[@paulinedean175]

Catherine I loved it as always 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🦋

[@heatherchambers1609]

Incredible difference with a coat of paint (and several fewer spiders)!

[@opalmoon2256]

Congrats!!! Ur Potting Shed turned out great! Totally enjoying the little birds singing on the background, so lovely spending time on Ur channel cant wait till next time..😻Blondie such a cutie pie!!!💗🌷🐦🐝

[@lindaketner2142]

I am impressed with that sprayer. Great job on your lawn!

[@beccaandcharliesworld5571]

Lmao that's how I do stuff like that. Hate spiders too!!!!! Great job. You are a hard worker xoxo

[@ashlatona]

You grabbing the items out of the shed with the rake until there was adequate room to run away from a possible spider was great! 😆 haha I love it! I’m proud of you for tackling the spider shed! Lol Your videos are so relaxing, it looks great now 👍🏽😁 whenever I do a project, I play dainty videos down the playlist in the background for encouragement 😋

[@lindaroyal8161]

What a brave woman! How many of us have the "catch all shed" that we keep meaning to deal with, guilty here. I like how you removed the cans and buckets with a rake. It really brightened it up to paint the interior as well as the outside. I look forward to see what you'll be doing with the shelves and such and for inspiration to get mine done. I bought an old dictionary at a thrift store, considering pasting pages on the interior walls also might wait till I find an Old Farmers Almanac and use those pages. Maybe a few patio stones at the entrance and of course you'll be putting some potted plants around it. Looking good

[@petro3441]

Time always goes by so fast when we spent time together.thanx for sharing all the tips and tricks to clean a shed😉😉looks very smart...looking forward to the greenhouse.

[@emmasumner4120]

Love how excited you are about a greenhouse, my partner came back with one last week for me that he bought for £50, most of the glass in intact apart from a couple of pieces. I was soooo excited. Alot of women would love to be brought back diamonds, no not me much prefer a green house.❤️

[@DaintyDiaries]

That sounds ideal omg! that's the level of excitement a greenhouse needs 💕

[@kimbwf629]

Fabulous. I am the same, I was cringing just watching. Terrified of spiders. Love your shed!!

[@SimpleSouthernReflections]

I enjoyed watching you clean your shed and I was watching out for the spiders with you, good job.

[@glennslick3060]

If the bookcase was on a table you could still wheel the mower under it or out and pot your plants on the table just a thought. Oh and great job as usual

[@joanneandrea7298]

The shed looks awesome! You're so talented with building things, I'd get some scrap pallet wood and build a little side shed to your shed for the lawnmower, that way you can freely pot up anything without having to move stuff around! Plus, I'd love to learn how to do that and I know you have the smarts!! :) I LOVE the shelf on the outside of the shed!!!

[@DaintyDiaries]

aw thank you Joanne ❤️Hopefully one I have the greenhouse the potting can happen there x

[@antoniayallop4530]

We have a toxic waste amnesty every year at certain recycling centres where I’m from. I store my old paint tins safely until September every year 😊

[@lorrainewhitlock5377]

💐 you did a very good job on your shed. it looks really nice

[@luella2897]

Your garden shed looks great !! HINT : Next time you deal with spidery areas, put on some gloves! Gardening gloves, rubber gloves, whatever: It always makes me feel better that any " creepy crawly" things won't touch my hands!!! ps, I kept thinking that that orange paint you accidentally spilled would look really cute as floor paint! :)

[@TheLornarea]

Also don't like spiders - they come out of nowhere and they run so fast! You were very brave and I like what you have done to it......................looks so much better. Love the videos You are a girl after my heart as most things you do I approve of. I am 75 years old and blind (Not completely) but can't do all the things I want to. You certainly inspire me to "get on with it" so carry on the good work! Lorna

[@nancypeteja6560]

It looks very nice! A greenhouse...what a great idea! 🏠🌱🌱🌱

[@auntbee4753]

You didn’t even get the spilled paint on anything! Loos very pretty!

[@jbellbird9050]

You did a fantastic job of the shed, spiders and all! I'm more afraid of other critters such as wasps and rats. Here in New Zealand we don't have snakes.🌼🌳🌞

[@josimpson7999]

You are such a lovely cheerful soul, and love your sweet accent too 🇬🇧

[@JD-kb5bq]

Looks Fabulous Catherine, Great Job!!!!!!

[@roxymcdonald6518]

Can’t wait to see the greenhouse!!!

[@chrisprpich7019]

Love your shed. It looks so cute. Can’t wait to see your green house.😀❤️🇨🇦

[@mrsladybugnz]

I feel you, spiders are just horrible...too many legs! Thanks for your video

[@Anncheryl61]

Oh yeah spider lady, I confronted my spider shed yesterday too, thanks to you .....and my skin is still crawling! But I got rid of lots of garbage❤️

[@DaintyDiaries]

That's so good!! You did it! ❤️

[@cherylmckay6806]

Hello girl! I love that you just get 'ur done. You would be fun to live next to. Eight years of equity in your home! Clever. 🌸💚🌸

[@artmakerforever3510]

If you trim the tree it might help with the spiders. And move your shed might too. I love spiders, they eat the bad plant bugs! Everything looks beautiful! I agree, lighten the load! Good job!

[@DaintyDiaries]

That's definitely on the to-do list! ❤️

[@jinxie228]

We use a cling film on our window on our shed, no one can see in but it lets the light in! GREAT little shed. You did better than I would have cleaning it out. HA!

[@DaintyDiaries]

That is a great tip!

[@emmabryson3687]

You're braver than me, I'd never go into a shed alone x

[@jennynations7676]

I love the peaceful, happy feeling I get when I watch your channel, so I subscribed. Thank you for your content, but especially for your personable attitude. You seem like such a sweet person. Love the decluttering. Job well done

[@loriar1027]

There's something so joyous about starting to clear up the garden after winter is over. Great job on the shed!

[@eileenstack255]

Hi Catherine 🙋‍♀️

[@StephBer1]

Living in Australia, I dream of having the problem of a few harmless, non deadly spiders. It's the snakes and the redback spiders that live in my garden and garage that I have to be careful of. *shudder* It still doesn't stop me from cleaning out things - I just look exactly like you did! Your garden is adorable😊

[@alyshaelkin3050]

I googled redback spiders. Good times. I’m currently watching a video of a guy taking care of an infestation of them in some lady’s garden. I’m a glutton for punishment, I guess.

[@tamaradore6834]

You are a braver woman than I, spiders terrify me!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Powered through for the sake of the tidy shed 😂😂 Thanks for watching Tamara 💓💓

[@karenrickard8237]

Love the bird song. My garden backs onto an open space and can hear many birds. Their song is good for the soul. Definately clears the head to declutter. Grand job honey 👍🤩 xxx

[@janebrown3587]

omg you're SO brave!!! Me, I'd be wearing a full beekeeper's suit head to toe, double gloves AND using the rake like you did, lol! Whoa - that shed looks fantastic after the power clean! Beautiful wood interior, but painting reflects so much light - so freaking cute!!!

[@DaintyDiaries]

ha ha, a beekeepers suit, I love it. That made me giggle

[@sarawrr07]

You're a lot braver than me. I couldn't have gone in there if I knew there were spiders.

[@ASC470]

You do everything with such love & care! Enjoy all your ideas.

[@LadyNajaGirl]

Lovely work!! That shed looks so refreshed! I am having work done on my workshop / garage at the moment and looking at it makes me cringe but I know it will look soooo much better after it’s done 💞

[@jillarmstrong3731]

Absolutley satisfying. I cant what to see your greenhouse install as well. You are awesome Dainty,such a hard worker,talented ,sharp dressed with great friggin hair! You inspire us all. Cheers

[@user-ui1zv8bd4y]

Slowly catching up on all your older videos. I miss the Robins and the cardinals in the desert, also the Nuthatches but at least we get the songbirds. They love nyjer and we try our best to keep them well fed. I do love our hummers but we have a rather territorial one who keeps others including the Orioles away from All the hummer feeders 😂 He loves our daughter but yells at my hubby and me if he wants to eat and we are on “his” patio 😊

[@Lenchika]

You are so talented and nice, I wish you a lot more subscribers and a budget for your greenhouse of dream, which you totally deserve!!! :)

[@nancylayman9247]

Love your sign.

[@joancaruso170]

Your like me terrified of the spiders my co-worker told me I am bigger than they are and it still did not help. I just can't deal with them. Anyway that is beautiful what you did with the shed it will be so nice to have a place to do the potting. Have a good Friday and weekend. Love all your vlogs.

[@phaness_876]

Your shed is so cute. Cant wait to see your greenhouse project!!

[@josephhanley668]

Have to say I would have overalls big boots gloves and safety glasses 🤣😂 you have put us men to shame 😂 💚

[@carolinegray3150]

Nice to have your own shed,looks nice
