She's a beautiful young woman. And I love her sense of humor. I think a stair runner would help soften the dark paint and brighten the stairwell. I am exhausted watching you work . We removed carpet from our stairs, sanded, sanded, did I say sanded? Stained the treads and painted the risers. Phew...
When using paint stripper on furniture, I have found it very useful to put a big piece of SaranWrap over the stripper as it sits and let it sit longer than directed and it REALLY makes the difference of it doing the heavy lifting and scraping for you. I know you already put in the elbow grease but if you have another project that comes up, I would recommend trying it to save your arms!❤️ Amazing work as always my friend, I always look forward to these with my morning coffee on Saturday mornings!
Yes for rug runner ! Something like a dusty pink with a little bit of a forest green touch ?! Just an idea ! Anyways I love love love the end result! You’re such an hard worker and very inspiring
Kenobi in the background going "omg hairy stairs?! lead paint?! omg!" I can't wait for the second part, you have been really busting your butt lately and doing such an amazing job!
That dark walnut made it. The perfect nude lip for the soft glam look. The right garnish for the enticing entree. You know what I’m getting at. Fantastic job!
Your family, your jokes, your work ethic, your eagerness to learn, and of course dear Kenobi and Geoff, don’t know what I appreciate more. The whole bouquet ( erm..... garden , cos Mum’s there too, and sorry forgot his name, your step-dad , and Jess and her dad ) I think ! Thank you for this super entertaining weekend video. 😍❤️🥰😍❤️🥰
Aww Kanobi's clearly tuckered out after all the barking. Danie, you're a machine! And that project looked like a deceptively small beast so, well done on a beautiful job!
Danie, one of the things I love about your creation is that you first have this vision for whichever space you are changing. Then, you “revised” as need it. The end results? Magic!
You know the Diy table you did for Alexandra (the one with the funky legs). I think something like that as a bannister DIY could look phenomenal. And it acts as the display for the wall. I am so inspired by the hard work you put in
I nearly now watched literally EVERY single video of you. I just need to say how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos!!!!!! You are just AMAZING! I love your style & the way you’re sooooo creative! I love TH-cam cause of people like you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼💕💕
I love how your family helped out, I felt the love! It truly looks amazing....simple, elegant, organic. The trailing plant was the chefs kiss at the end. Tip to keeping ivy pest free, give them a shower once a week or so, works like a charm. Can’t wait for part 2!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What the heck are those things? I can’t find them in the Google. Are they forest sprites? forest beards? (That’s how the closed captions translates what she’s saying). Honestly, I need someone to spell it out.
Our dog works equally hard and is exhausted at the end of the day. Napping, eating, barking a bit and keeping us company are tough jobs but Xiao Di is up to it!
"Where do you goooooooooo? My lovelyyyyyyyyy" in my head for maybe a week (thanks Danie!) ; just can't stop laughing at the Evil Dead deer saying "What's up?", the Mononoke Kodama freaks me out I prefer the susuwatari but....not the same function in a house! Kenobi is the cutest dog on the sofa with his blanket. Thanks for this episode. Wheeeeeeeeeeere do you goooooooooooooo?
Its gorgeous! The wall reminds me of the venetian plaster I used in my kitchen. Since it is a high traffic area you might want to look into waxing at I don't know how to work on your technique but you have to wax Venetian plaster so that it's washable.
I helped my Mom about 65 years ago to do a similar finish on a wall where we lived then, but we just used paint and rags. Scrunched up the fabric and dabbed it into paint in several pale colours and dabbed it onto the wall overlapping the colours. We called it distemper then, and it looked pretty nice but no texture to speak of, naturally. We were all do it yourselfers in those days and still are, it's cheaper! 😊 I painted my basement stairs with porch paint about 30 years ago and it's still good. It was terribly smelly though, back then, had every window open for days. Fabulous job, you've done it again! 😊👍👍👍
It looks great. I love the result. Thanks for showing us how hard it is. Too many shows make everything look so simple, and then when it is hard for me, I feel like I am doing it wrong.
I'm here for my fellow Studio Ghibli dork. Hi, Danie! I love how down to earth you are, but super talented at the same time. Ashitaka and San gave their approval. :))
I am GEEKING OUT over the textured wall thing, omg..... I can’t get over it. This is totally something I would have come up with. I am completely obsessed with natural textures and colors. So yes, I am IN LOVE with that wall. THE ART AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS. I can’t. I do love the prints from Desenio, I want to create my own, and now I have the inspiration!
I am so impressed! I was very skeptical of the wall treatment when you first mentioned it and started, but you did an amazing job. The stairs look so good! Love the black paint.
I'm with you 💯% on the wall. I really thought I wanted her to keep the shiplap. But I'm amazed at how cool the textured wall looks, and not the 70s texture. Luke you said, Venician. 🥰
I've learned that what may seem like a "small project" can take a week to sometimes 2 weeks to do! When that happens I repeat what you say, "Just trust the process." And yes! Music is great to listen to while in the process and when it's all done, it's such a rewarding feeling!!! Thank you for your inspiration! Really liked how this came out! An idea for your stairs: What about peel&stick on the verticals like how Alexandra used on a stair makeover??
Really, really nice! I don’t think you need a runner type runner. Maybe just the tread alone type if safety is a concern... but in black so you don’t ruin the modern line. I don’t envy you that scraping job. My brother would have bailed after pulling up the carpet. Can’t wait to see part two.
You have such vision, it looks wonderful with the room it's in. Plus, love you're wearing a cameo, like your home, old blended with contemporary. I'm more your grandmother's generation so remember when they came back into style again, 1970's?
Beautiful transformation. That wall does look like limestone - stunning! I agree that a runner is a great idea. It’s practical for safety and allows you to add another layer of texture and colour/pattern.
It looks fantastic Danie! Had a thought though.... the stained rail/ledge/edge is so beautiful. Maybe in the future the stair treads themselves could be replaced with the same stain and the underside painted white? Just a 💭 . The plant adds just the right touch. Be proud! That was a LOT of work! So glad your dad and brother stepped up and helped again, oh and I love y’all singing and goofing off! It makes the videos so fun to watch! Excellent job and it looks great! You’re style is a little different than my own, am a tad more traditional but your rubbing off, the final results are always better than expected, somewhat minimal and fit your home to a T!
What a drastic change for the better. I agree about the stair treads. However, I know that replacing stair treads is an expensive project. But you can make your own if you are willing to take the time to rout a rounded edge on all of them. It’s a big job. (Don’t ask. I just know. ) if they and the board were stained a color closer to your beams I would like that. Not I know your floors are the special walnut stain so I get why you used that on the wood trim. It’s soooo beautiful. What a difference it makes. Kudos to you, Corbin, and your Dad for a wonderful job. Well done!
The stair painting mixed with the dry wall compound painting thingy, a joy! I once had a house old and without any doors on closets. Paint techniques got to be a specialty. When you don't got no moolah, you get real. Thank you.
why should only dads have so much fun being creative when it comes to jokes? because of you we should start calling it mum jokes as well. lots of love and admiration from Slovenia!
Wow! What an amazing transformation! There's nothing about this I would change! I wouldn't add the stair runner because I love the contrast of the black stairs to the white walls. I know some people might think it's too stark, but I think it's gorgeous and timeless. Great job, Danie!! God Bless!!
Yes in love with the te turned wall! Along with the stairs and wood finish. You are talenn-ted! "It's only natural to get another plant when you move a plant."
OMW, I've been whining about the 1,001 staples per step used on my 2-story set of stairs (multi-generational 2-flat situation) when carpet had been installed some odd number of years ago. But wow, what you had under your carpet on one run of stairs wins the "Oh crap" prize for sure!
Such a great transformation! I wonder what a lovely subtle pattern or design on the riser of the steps would look like of you added that? 🤔 That might be even more amazing
Your brother needs to join you more often. You two together are a riot but I still love you best. Lol, I love your stairwell. The wall is wonderful. It all looks so professional. Great job.
Excellent job! We have wooden stairs and to stop our furry babies slipping on them, which they did, we got some carpet squares cut them in half and stuck them down with carpet tape. This stopped them sliding and falling and also helped with the noise, though still leaving the wooden look. 😊
As someone who has that kind of texturing in her home, it will be a pain in the ass if you ever decide to repaint. That being said, I do love your new stairway. Well done!
I love what you did, however, I read dark stairs could be a little scary. What about lightening up the top or adding runner? Or add lighting to the wall? (Scones)
That turned out so good, I wouldn't think the staircase would make that much difference. Love that your family helps sometimes. I always look forward to your videos, which is surprising, because I could be your grandma and I live in Texas !
"Please don't un subscribe ". Not a chance! The stairs and especially the wall with the texture look amazing. And I love when your family comes and works with you.
For that textured wall I would love to get my dremel carving bit out and put a few organic groved in the wall and then paint in gold veins or something like that. Love it!
Bad day - I really needed this lift. Thanks Danie. The step by step process is going well. Is Corbin your “step-bro” now? See what I did there? Have you considered burnishing the wall? I watched a pro do the same in my house. At the end, he used a steel to “push” and “polish” the final coat.
Great job Danie, you and your brother are two peas in a pod. The good thing about doing drywall is the better you get at applying it the less you have to sand. When they started selling lightweight mud it was a game changer for me.
Super beautiful! Love how the dark and light colors go so well together. I really appriciate that you show how long things actually take and how much works goes in.
You can use flat posters or glue/nail highly textured empty picture frames to the wall as an architectural detail. Thrift stores usually have a lot of really textured frames. This way, they will not get knocked down when you carry something up :)
Love that textured wall! it's subtle, but adds so much! And LOVE the plant draping down in the corner. Removing that little bulkhead had to have felt so good. Lovely as always, Danie!
I have done this technique in a room before. I used yellows and oranges that were too bright, so I then rubbed on a stain with some paper towels to tone it all down. The darker stain remained in the crevices and just brought out the character of the effort. It turned out amazingly and would absolutely do it again.
Danie: This is a really calming activity (applying the textured wall) Me: My OCD is screaming, NOooooo, the wall is so pristine and smooth, it really hurt to watch lmao Said with no hate, and all love
Nice work Danie. My favorite part was when your family (brother and father) pitched in to assist you with the work. I love it when family members work together on a project such as this one. Now for the work. I liked the brown board, haha. I think it helps to transition your living room to the staircase; the wood grain also looks nice and "natural". I also liked the choice of prints. Once, again, nice work Danie.
This turned out lovely! If your Ivy does not like living there a light color tapestry or textured light rug would look nice on that wall and perhaps add the illusion of height. I am thrilled that you are giving this old home new life. So beautiful!
Danie's brother having the exact same goofy vibe as her it's just perfect 👌🏽😂
I really can't understand how Danies channel doesn't have way more followers 🤔 she's the best ❤
Word ❤️
I was just writing the same!
Right? I think she should be up there with the Sorry Girls!
New follower! I love her!❤
She's so good that in mind I just assumed she had like 500K subs or something.. Slow and steady!
How does Danies hair always look amazing... like seriously, it always looks so good🤔😊
ha! thanks Lou Arch xx
I have Danie hair envy
I love her eyes! So pretty
She's a beautiful young woman. And I love her sense of humor. I think a stair runner would help soften the dark paint and brighten the stairwell.
I am exhausted watching you work . We removed carpet from our stairs, sanded, sanded, did I say sanded? Stained the treads and painted the risers. Phew...
I love the color.

Yes for rug runner ! Something like a dusty pink with a little bit of a forest green touch ?! Just an idea ! Anyways I love love love the end result! You’re such an hard worker and very inspiring
"If you move a plant, you have to replace the plant" sooo true
That’s going to be my rationale for buying new plants after we move
Kenobi in the background going "omg hairy stairs?! lead paint?! omg!"
I can't wait for the second part, you have been really busting your butt lately and doing such an amazing job!
That edit of Dani's face on Superman's was the best thing. Well done, editor!
My favourite moment as well!! :D
That dark walnut made it. The perfect nude lip for the soft glam look. The right garnish for the enticing entree. You know what I’m getting at. Fantastic job!
Your family, your jokes, your work ethic, your eagerness to learn, and of course dear Kenobi and Geoff, don’t know what I appreciate more.

Aww Kanobi's clearly tuckered out after all the barking. Danie, you're a machine! And that project looked like a deceptively small beast so, well done on a beautiful job!
The wall is awesome. I do think a rug runner down the stairs would be awesome.
Also! I agree on the runner, especially with doggo paws running up and down. 🖤
Kenobi sleeping on the couch was the best part of the video. sorry Dani I know you worked very hard but nothing tops that 😅
My coffee and a Danie video = my Saturday morning routine
Danie, one of the things I love about your creation is that you first have this vision for whichever space you are changing. Then, you “revised” as need it. The end results? Magic!
Come for the DIY... Stay for the crappy puns🤣 love them so much Danie 🤣
Thank you for sharing how physical and difficult these projects can be!
Love your honesty❤️
My favorite part is the black stairs. The total look is perfect, but I’m all about adding touches of black to any room.
I’ve binged so many episodes lately. Just pure joy, energy, knowledge and talent!! So much entertainment. Thank you Danie! 💕🌈💕
You know the Diy table you did for Alexandra (the one with the funky legs). I think something like that as a bannister DIY could look phenomenal. And it acts as the display for the wall.

All the elements came together so beautifully
I love how your family helped out, I felt the love! It truly looks amazing....simple, elegant, organic. The trailing plant was the chefs kiss at the end. Tip to keeping ivy pest free, give them a shower once a week or so, works like a charm. Can’t wait for part 2!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yes to the runner down the stairs! Love the textured wall idea! ❤️
Yessssss.....a rug runner down the steps would look FABULOUS!!! You did a great job!! Love it!!!
Thank you for showing that diy isn’t always easy or fast. Looks great!👍
Love the entire makeover but especially loved the forest sprites from Princess Mononoke!! I have some in my home as well 🥰
What the heck are those things? I can’t find them in the Google. Are they forest sprites? forest beards? (That’s how the closed captions translates what she’s saying). Honestly, I need someone to spell it out.
@@kimhaas7586 they're forest spirits (shishigami) from the movie Princess Mononoke. You should watch the movie, highly recommended it
@@kimhaas7586 They’re called Kodama! They’re forest sprites though from a studio gibli film called Princess Mononoke 🙂
Oh I feel so sorry for your dog he’s working so hard!
Our dog works equally hard and is exhausted at the end of the day. Napping, eating, barking a bit and keeping us company are tough jobs but Xiao Di is up to it!

Well, it’s a stairway to heaven now! So nice.
I was thinking the same thing lol
That textured wall is EVERYTHING! Trying to design myself a new office/studio space and I think that is JUST THE TICKET! 🎟️😄
inspiring as always 🤩
Thanks girl! ♥️♥️
Very well done 👏. Hard work paid off.
It looks great. I love the result. Thanks for showing us how hard it is. Too many shows make everything look so simple, and then when it is hard for me, I feel like I am doing it wrong.

Your brother and I are just like my brother and I! I haven't seen my brother in a year and a half and this made me smile. Thank you!!!
Dad jokes to the MAX and I’m 💯% here for it. 🖤
She puts dads to shame!!
I am GEEKING OUT over the textured wall thing, omg..... I can’t get over it. This is totally something I would have come up with. I am completely obsessed with natural textures and colors.
So yes, I am IN LOVE with that wall.
THE ART AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS. I can’t. I do love the prints from Desenio, I want to create my own, and now I have the inspiration!
I love that you show the progress!
This way we can estimate how long this actually takes and how much supplies you need 😊👌🏽
My favorite bit is the textured wall; subtle but creates an old world mood. It’s in keeping with the age of your house.
I am so impressed! I was very skeptical of the wall treatment when you first mentioned it and started, but you did an amazing job. The stairs look so good! Love the black paint.
I'm with you 💯% on the wall. I really thought I wanted her to keep the shiplap. But I'm amazed at how cool the textured wall looks, and not the 70s texture. Luke you said, Venician. 🥰
Beautiful! View from the living room is so much nicer. Love the textured wall.
Love the textured wall, also getting rid of the overhang made a huge difference, as does the fresh new trim around the stairs 👍👍👍
Ahhh , that accent wall is so subtle but makes such a huge impact in the entire space . I’m OBSESSED ! 😍
Lovin the vibes i’m getting from today’s vid
I've learned that what may seem like a "small project" can take a week to sometimes 2 weeks to do! When that happens I repeat what you say, "Just trust the process." And yes! Music is great to listen to while in the process and when it's all done, it's such a rewarding feeling!!! Thank you for your inspiration! Really liked how this came out!

Really, really nice! I don’t think you need a runner type runner. Maybe just the tread alone type if safety is a concern... but in black so you don’t ruin the modern line. I don’t envy you that scraping job. My brother would have bailed after pulling up the carpet. Can’t wait to see part two.

I felt very much not alone watching you try to open the drywall mud 😂 every time I open it, its like a five minutes battle
Beautiful transformation. That wall does look like limestone - stunning! I agree that a runner is a great idea. It’s practical for safety and allows you to add another layer of texture and colour/pattern.
Have you ever thought about making a Spotify playlist of your favorite music to listen to while working?
It looks fantastic Danie!
Had a thought though.... the stained rail/ledge/edge is so beautiful. Maybe in the future the stair treads themselves could be replaced with the same stain and the underside painted white? Just a 💭 . The plant adds just the right touch.
Be proud! That was a LOT of work! So glad your dad and brother stepped up and helped again, oh and I love y’all singing and goofing off! It makes the videos so fun to watch!

Wow! What an amazing transformation! There's nothing about this I would change! I wouldn't add the stair runner because I love the contrast of the black stairs to the white walls. I know some people might think it's too stark, but I think it's gorgeous and timeless. Great job, Danie!! God Bless!!
Love the textured wall! You could use your Cricut to do a wall decal since a gallery isn’t practical
Yes in love with the te turned wall! Along with the stairs and wood finish. You are talenn-ted! "It's only natural to get another plant when you move a plant."
OMW, I've been whining about the 1,001 staples per step used on my 2-story set of stairs (multi-generational 2-flat situation) when carpet had been installed some odd number of years ago. But wow, what you had under your carpet on one run of stairs wins the "Oh crap" prize for sure!
I love what you did to the wall. I think a vintage runner on the stairs would look nice.
Such a great transformation! I wonder what a lovely subtle pattern or design on the riser of the steps would look like of you added that? 🤔 That might be even more amazing
Your brother needs to join you more often. You two together are a riot but I still love you best. Lol, I love your stairwell. The wall is wonderful. It all looks so professional. Great job.
I almost forgot what day today is, then I saw the video notification, reminded me that today's Saturday 😅😅😅 btw, I love your blouse 💕💕💕
Same 😂
Yes to the rug runner! Tasha Leelyn has an awesome video about her doing a DIY rug runner in her home and it looks sooo good!
Ok this wall is just great! I love the idea of a distressed runner but I would have picked a lighter wood stain! The overall view is just gorgeus!!
Excellent job! We have wooden stairs and to stop our furry babies slipping on them, which they did, we got some carpet squares cut them in half and stuck them down with carpet tape. This stopped them sliding and falling and also helped with the noise, though still leaving the wooden look. 😊
As someone who has that kind of texturing in her home, it will be a pain in the ass if you ever decide to repaint.
That being said, I do love your new stairway. Well done!
Use a paint sprayer! They are fairly affordable but you can also rent one. This is the solution the pro's use to paint heavily textured surfaces.
A cool solution for tiny stair walls would be a mural! It makes the space seem bigger and it's really pretty. That textured wall turned out great!
I love what you did, however, I read dark stairs could be a little scary. What about lightening up the top or adding runner? Or add lighting to the wall? (Scones)
That turned out so good, I wouldn't think the staircase would make that much difference.
Love that your family helps sometimes.
I always look forward to your videos, which is surprising, because I could be your grandma and I live in Texas !
Danie you can split your large projects into more videos so you don’t work yourself half to death for one video. We will keep watching!
That dark stain nest to the black is everything! 😍 the textured wall is also fab! Organic and just wonderful. Looks super stylish.
Your editor missed a good one, when you said "Throw the stripper down" I was so sure there'd be a stripper doing something or other to relate. LOL
Right?!?! I caught that, too! Great minds…
"Please don't un subscribe ". Not a chance! The stairs and especially the wall with the texture look amazing. And I love when your family comes and works with you.
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who struggles to open a new drywall compound bucket 😂
Or other tight lidded containers
Doesn’t matter the size or if you’ve opened it before they are difficult.
It looks fabulous!! Love how it makes the living room feel complete too
Omg knobe just gets cuter and cuter, the stairs look good too! 😂
For that textured wall I would love to get my dremel carving bit out and put a few organic groved in the wall and then paint in gold veins or something like that. Love it!
Bad day - I really needed this lift. Thanks Danie. The step by step process is going well. Is Corbin your “step-bro” now? See what I did there?
Have you considered burnishing the wall? I watched a pro do the same in my house. At the end, he used a steel to “push” and “polish” the final coat.
Great job Danie, you and your brother are two peas in a pod. The good thing about doing drywall is the better you get at applying it the less you have to sand. When they started selling lightweight mud it was a game changer for me.
i literally clapped at that reveal--AMAZING JOB, DANIE!!
Super beautiful! Love how the dark and light colors go so well together.
I really appriciate that you show how long things actually take and how much works goes in.
We need a DIY stretch the body montage before we DIY...I don't want a broken Diane. Hope she is pain free soon.
You can use flat posters or glue/nail highly textured empty picture frames to the wall as an architectural detail. Thrift stores usually have a lot of really textured frames. This way, they will not get knocked down when you carry something up :)
Honestly why do you think your jokes are lame they really makes me laugh 😀
Love that textured wall! it's subtle, but adds so much! And LOVE the plant draping down in the corner. Removing that little bulkhead had to have felt so good. Lovely as always, Danie!
Love love love 👌
Your sense of humour 😘 thanks a lot for this 😂
Although most ppl complain that black floors are hard to keep clean, they are hard to pass up. The stairs look beautiful! Great job per usual!
I died laughing with the "Bob Ross slaping brush" eddit hahaha
I love the texture wall. Very beautiful. And I love the Bob Ross camio!
It looks amazing! (have to admit I kept waiting for some bad stripper puns to pop up in this one 🤣)
WHAT A TRANSFORMATION!!!! LOVE the idea of a painted runner.
Are you adding a railing?? My anxious heart is quaking
Yup. Mentioned at the end.
I have done this technique in a room before. I used yellows and oranges that were too bright, so I then rubbed on a stain with some paper towels to tone it all down. The darker stain remained in the crevices and just brought out the character of the effort. It turned out amazingly and would absolutely do it again.
Danie: This is a really calming activity (applying the textured wall)
Me: My OCD is screaming, NOooooo, the wall is so pristine and smooth, it really hurt to watch lmao
Said with no hate, and all love
Nice work Danie. My favorite part was when your family (brother and father) pitched in to assist you with the work. I love it when family members work together on a project such as this one. Now for the work. I liked the brown board, haha. I think it helps to transition your living room to the staircase; the wood grain also looks nice and "natural". I also liked the choice of prints. Once, again, nice work Danie.
You might consider adding led light for the steps because it will be very dark and a potential death trap walking down the stair.
Or the rug runner.
This turned out lovely! If your Ivy does not like living there a light color tapestry or textured light rug would look nice on that wall and perhaps add the illusion of height. I am thrilled that you are giving this old home new life. So beautiful!
