I kinda think that leg breaking on the first set was a good thing, I don’t feel like it should have broken so easily and thankfully didn’t happen down the road when someone was sitting on it.
I would definitely hang your metal and wood art piece so if a wind comes through it doesn't break your vases up there, this turned out absolutely beautiful
Actually, a cedar wood Pergola would fit the aesthetic of the front entryway. A clear acrylic sheet or a clear polycarbonate sheet can be added as the roof of the pergola to protect from the elements while still allowing the sunlight to come in.
I agree. We added one to the top of our garage doors and it really elevated our home. I would have did the porch too if we didn't have a roof covering!
I’m so glad you decided against the green because in an outdoor context that kind of green just looks like mildew. And the finished space looks so good!! Cute and inviting with a nice place to put packages! Perfect
@@CuriouserAndCuriouser4 OMG! That's It! I kept trying to put my finger on it, but kept coming up with the wrong comparison, I just couldn't figure it out! Thank You! You've just saved me from stewing on it for the rest of the day❤!!! Pressure Treated Green, available only at Lowes😂😂😂
Danie if that pot has mint in it don’t add the plants or dirt to your compost it will spread mint that will comeback for YEARS! We are still fighting mint after 10 years of living here after the previous owner planted it in the yard. If the pot touches dirt it will self sow into the ground and spread far beyond the space you had it in. Good Luck Danie love the patio refresh!
just popping in to say, mail carriers and delivery drivers would probably appreciate a bit more contrast in your number sign for clarity. Maybe you could paint the grout inside the numbers a darker color, like maybe some shade of blue or purple, to better distinguish what numbers they're supposed to be. That all said it's REALLY cute and I love how adorable the front end of your house looks now!
It's a great Saturday when you get NOT 1 BUT 2 Episodes with DIY Danie! This one and over on The Sorry Girls channel!! The entry looks fabulous! Love the art piece and how well it goes with the bench. Watched both episodes while on the treadmill and it greatly helped me get through 4 miles. ❤✌
Wow, what a difference! The entry looks so much nicer now. I also so love seeing you and Jeff (sp?) working together. Y’all are so cute together, glad he’s been in the last couple of videos 💕
I have a bench from theater armrests that came from my hometown theater They are Art Deco and my mom and her husband made them back in the 80s. It's one of my favorite pieces. They need tightened up it's gotten wobbly over the years
Clicking on is starting an adventure! No matter what, you not only get it done, but beautifully pulled together! Disasters happen and you show us how to make it better!
You never fail to amaze me. Your entryway is perfect, and I love how the street numbers turned out. Actually, I love how everything turned out. I always look forward to your next video.I love your channel, and I love your quirky personality. You are so much fun to watch. ❤😂
As hard as it was to redo the bench, it is amazing. The mosaic numbers are so cute. The project came out to be spectacular. It is cute, unusual, reflects your personality and definitely brings that chef's kiss to your entry. Great work.
3:05 this section on the planters made me feel I had to share whats worked for me. My recommendations for people looking for cheaper flower pot/planter options if you're willing to use plastic. 1st at the start of the season keep an eye out to see what grocery stores and pharmacies are carrying flower pots. It wont be too long before they are transferring on and will mark everything left as clearance to clear way for the new stock. Ive had incredible luck with this at Riteaids if there is one near you. 2nd is to repurpose from your local thrift store. Trashcans, storage containers, and punch/serving/salad bowls can be very easily converses. Drill or punch drainage holes in the bottom and your good to go. If they really look to much like indoor stuff brought outdoor to you then give a light sanding before painting them to look more pot like/outdoorsy. There are the textured paints you can use but sometimes a simple color or matt will do the job just fine. My grandmother looked for months to find a new planter that could replace the one she had in her macrame hanger she's had for decades. Nothing fit right. In the end I found a clear punch bowlthat once painted white put in place looks like it was made to be a planter. Also, old ceramic teapots are awesome as planters. Cracked ones give drainage and it saved them from the landfill. Before putting the plant in block the inside of the spout with weed barrier and you can actually poor out excess water if it gets seriously flooded or add water through it to feed the water to the bottom if its something where you are worried about getting the plant wet. I know most likely no one will read this but if you have a hope at some point it will be of use. Happy planting!
The dark blue works much better for the letters. The new iron for your bench is stronger, which is a good thing. They're probably made of iron and the old once since they broke so easily might have been made of cheap pot metal.
I love that you show us the full journey, bumps in the road and all. It turned out lovely. Glad you didn't go with the green for the bench, and the mosaic is so cute.
I love it 😍 and Jeff being a supportive husband made me smile. Also his little laugh in the end was so cute. So happy he gets more relaxed in front of the camera. You two are so wholesome together 🥰
Girl!! I just found you and I'm SOOOO GLAD!! You are hilarious and I am totally about to binge watch your videos. Thanks for all you do and your ideas are spectacular!
Oh my Kenobie, love him. I love your videos and look forward to watching you every week but a big part of me waits to see Kenobie, I'm in love with him lol I liked the green but it all ended up beautiful as usual :) It's magazine worthy :)
Hi Danie, your front stoop looks great, all those odd little things has tied it all together really nicely 🤗🤗 Side note Danie, the top and bottom slats are skinnier because of the curve, on my cast iron bench the first and last slats are skinny as well as the 3 at the curve of the center of the bench curving at the back of the seat curving up towards the bench back. It also depends on the design of the bench style as to that option. I have 3 of them and all of them are different except for the first and last slat on all three of them are skinnier.
I think you greatly improved the curb appeal of your entryway, and I think you did cause people to look at it and realize where the door is. Fine work as usual.
This is amazing. Setbacks can be exhausting but the result is something else. The mirror is cool but the wrought iron piece is even better. I hope you find a good place for the mirror.
Thanks for making my weekend! ❤ looks fabulous and I love how this whole video came together - the lamenting howl with Kenobi, funny quirky comments and all 🥰 Enjoy the rest of your weekend Danie 😊
That bench and mosaic really gave you a run for your money. But, so worth it because they came out great and your front entry is wonderful. Also, your video editor did such an entertaining job.
Love it. Looks amazing! Depending on climate, a jasmine or citrus tree would smell and look amazing where the daisies are. Love how you show the mistakes/redos and how you actually did stuff. (Not just poof! magic before/after.)
You did a great job, you started with the good bones of the front door and the garage door, black is always a good grounding color🌻then when you built the gorgeous brick herringbone landing you had everything you needed for success. The planters and decor are great pops of color. Bravo Danie !!!🌺🌺🌺
The outcome is fantastic! Your (very) hard work was worth it. Could you glue/weld the original bench together and shorten the boards so it would work for a plant stand? If you make it narrow enough, no one will try and sit in it. Just a thought. Enjoy sitting on the bench to snip your herbs😎
I’m very impressed!! There are only two things I would do a little different. I would move the grass planter to the other side to open up the entry way more and I would hang the art piece maybe just 3 or 4” above the shelf. But overall, I love how the whole thing turned out! And I really love your attitude towards tackling, what I call, BIG DIY projects!! Great job!
It all turned out great! I would turn the bench so it's along the driveway side, creating more of a defined space on the stoop and giving a little more room around the door. I love your mosaic!!!!
You are so fun to watch! The two of you did a great job sprucing up your entry. I would remove the shelf and hang that pretty piece you got from Home sends all by itself. Love your show❤
I kinda think that leg breaking on the first set was a good thing, I don’t feel like it should have broken so easily and thankfully didn’t happen down the road when someone was sitting on it.
it might have been cheaply made stuff, I agree - it should not break that easily!
I was thinking the same thing.
I was thinking the same thing. There was something wrong with it..
Cast iron, despite being strong, can break easily with a sharp impact.
My thoughts exactly.
I would definitely hang your metal and wood art piece so if a wind comes through it doesn't break your vases up there, this turned out absolutely beautiful
I was wondering if the drilled holes should be filled with a caulk to keep water out?
The mirror too!
Eventually the best addition to the front door stoop area would be a cover or roof area to keep everyone dry in all seasons!
One of those semi-circle canvas awnings in black. They are kind of expensive, but so pretty and classy.
Yes! An awning would be excellent
Actually, a cedar wood Pergola would fit the aesthetic of the front entryway. A clear acrylic sheet or a clear polycarbonate sheet can be added as the roof of the pergola to protect from the elements while still allowing the sunlight to come in.
I bought a cover for my front door from Wayfair..it's a clear top with metal edges. We Love it
I agree. We added one to the top of our garage doors and it really elevated our home. I would have did the porch too if we didn't have a roof covering!
Dear Editor: The sad montage, was hilarious!! ❤
Agree😂
Agreed! I’m so sorry that happened, but way to turn a bad situation into comedy gold!
I could definitely see a door mat that says "the good kind of weird lives here" under your door. We have one and we love it!
watching danie hand cut out the numbers whilst also remembering she has a cricut 😆
Omg I never clicked so fast! Saturday isn’t complete without a Dani upload 🙌
🥹🥹🥹❤️
Same here! ❤
My version of Saturday Morning Cartoons
I’m so glad you decided against the green because in an outdoor context that kind of green just looks like mildew. And the finished space looks so good!! Cute and inviting with a nice place to put packages! Perfect
yeahhhh swamp waterrrr lol
To me it looked like that green pressure treated wood. Essentially staining it to look unfinished.
@@CuriouserAndCuriouser4 OMG! That's It! I kept trying to put my finger on it, but kept coming up with the wrong comparison, I just couldn't figure it out! Thank You! You've just saved me from stewing on it for the rest of the day❤!!! Pressure Treated Green, available only at Lowes😂😂😂
Thanks for being honest about things just not working and having to pivot or redo plans, it’s refreshing 💛
Danie if that pot has mint in it don’t add the plants or dirt to your compost it will spread mint that will comeback for YEARS! We are still fighting mint after 10 years of living here after the previous owner planted it in the yard. If the pot touches dirt it will self sow into the ground and spread far beyond the space you had it in. Good Luck Danie love the patio refresh!
The mosaic turned out so pretty! And it’s so cool that you were able to build a custom bench.
I love when you and your dog were howling saying Nooooooo 😂😂😂😂
You never try to hide the realty of a diy! Great job - it looks amazing!
🙏💕
Glorified Amazon parcel holders or not. Your entryway is looking amazing!
You are truly one of the most fun, positive and inspirational people on youtube! And I absolutely love how it turned out!

Anyone else ever repeat the intro after Danie? Editor roll the tape... Boop! 😂
Me!!
LMAO! The bench montage was hysterical❤
I'd do a part 3 and diy a little roof for the door... it's a game changer to have it when it's raining
Wow, what a difference! The entry looks so much nicer now. I also so love seeing you and Jeff (sp?) working together. Y’all are so cute together, glad he’s been in the last couple of videos 💕
I just love Geoff's smile when he helps you with the bench; seeing you both work together is *chef's kiss* xx
Roof would be an awesome addition, protection from the elements when trying to get in the house from the car.
I just love how you never quit!! I admire your perseverance. Your banch is stunnig!!!
You can likely find a local welder to fix the broken leg, then you will be able to have a second bench for somewhere else in the yard.:)
Bench is so cute! Mosaic is beautiful. The whole project is a big win!❤
I love your new entry way. It's beautiful !!
You're so right. Curb appeal is important. It says lots about you, the homeowner !!
This entrance is so adorable! I just love it. What an improvement! Perseverance!
I have a bench from theater armrests that came from my hometown theater
They are Art Deco and my mom and her husband made them back in the 80s. It's one of my favorite pieces. They need tightened up it's gotten wobbly over the years
oooooh that sounds DIVINE!!!

The wood element brought all your decisions together ❤
You never fail to amaze me. Your entryway is perfect, and I love how the street numbers turned out. Actually, I love how everything turned out. I always look forward to your next video.I love your channel, and I love your quirky personality. You are so much fun to watch. ❤😂
Your patience with making that mosaic…impressive. It is a beautiful piece and looks great!
Bench is so cute!
The patio is so cute! The bench is really perfect in that location. Love all of the plants surrounding it as well.
thank you!!!!
As hard as it was to redo the bench, it is amazing. The mosaic numbers are so cute. The project came out to be spectacular. It is cute, unusual, reflects your personality and definitely brings that chef's kiss to your entry. Great work.
I would so love to see you seal your brick patio so the deeper colors come out! All of your work is so beautiful!!
I bet yur momma is so proud of you.❤❤❤
she is!!!!
You and your husband have such an amazing relationship! I can tell that he is truly your rock and totally gets you.
Your ability to pivot on a moments notice is second to none Dani!! You are phenomenal and powerful!!!

I love that you use the word cute, you're not afraid to say something's cute ! cuz hey sometimes it's just so cute!
Instead of a bench I was thinking a rocking chair ❤ maybe its the old lady in me lol im only 35 😅
The dark blue works much better for the letters. The new iron for your bench is stronger, which is a good thing. They're probably made of iron and the old once since they broke so easily might have been made of cheap pot metal.

Danie that entry way is totally you… it’s absolutely beautiful!!! Well done 🙏🎶🎉💐🤗
thank you so much!
Oh my Kenobie, love him. I love your videos and look forward to watching you every week but a big part of me waits to see Kenobie, I'm in love with him lol I liked the green but it all ended up beautiful as usual :) It's magazine worthy :)
You literally had to redo every project in this video twice, I’m so sorry! Poor thing. ❤ I would have cried, there would have been tears.
Ditto
Hi Danie, your front stoop looks great, all those odd little things has tied it all together really nicely 🤗🤗
Side note Danie, the top and bottom slats are skinnier because of the curve, on my cast iron bench the first and last slats are skinny as well as the 3 at the curve of the center of the bench curving at the back of the seat curving up towards the bench back.

I think you greatly improved the curb appeal of your entryway, and I think you did cause people to look at it and realize where the door is. Fine work as usual.
I wonder if you could DIY the broken leg plus the spare one into some kind of ornate wall plant hanger... That would be beautiful!
This is amazing. Setbacks can be exhausting but the result is something else. The mirror is cool but the wrought iron piece is even better. I hope you find a good place for the mirror.
Love it all the bench is like one of the new over-sized chairs.
I would love to see the broken bench repurposed into a feature for the garden. I can see a place for a couple of planters.
Love the finished entrance and watching you and Husband working together.
Danie you didn’t give up ❤❤❤ the entry way with the bench gives that cozy good home vibes 😊
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️
I just LOVE your editor, honestly 🤣 And everything you make
Gosh...😊
Danie says at 3:30 having more plants on porch might be to much.. Precedes with tons of plants. 🤣🤣
Thanks for making my weekend! ❤ looks fabulous and I love how this whole video came together - the lamenting howl with Kenobi, funny quirky comments and all 🥰 Enjoy the rest of your weekend Danie 😊
That bench and mosaic really gave you a run for your money. But, so worth it because they came out great and your front entry is wonderful. Also, your video editor did such an entertaining job.
Another Dani masterpiece! Love how you pulled it all together.
Love it. Looks amazing! Depending on climate, a jasmine or citrus tree would smell and look amazing where the daisies are. Love how you show the mistakes/redos and how you actually did stuff. (Not just poof! magic before/after.)
I love watching you turn your house into a home made just for you guys!
Love it all ❤ and little Wilbur 🐖 the bench is beautiful well done 👏
Obsessed with the house numbers!! The entire area looks *chef's kiss*, but that one piece is my favorite.
It looks fab you should be so proud of yourself
Wow and just Wow Wow, 🤩🤩🤩 I love everything including the chair you built. ❤❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾‼️‼️
Beautiful 🤩 amazing job 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You did a great job, you started with the good bones of the front door and the garage door, black is always a good grounding color🌻then when you built the gorgeous brick herringbone landing you had everything you needed for success. The planters and decor are great pops of color. Bravo Danie !!!🌺🌺🌺
So practical! Love that you show your ‘trials’ along the way. It looks wonderful

I love the life you've given your front door entry. It makes me want to style my front door too!
OMG!!! It looks fabulous! You put so much work into it, and it shows. BEAUTIFUL!!!
I love your editor so much!
The Danny Devito art was just... 👩🍳💋
Love love love your new entryway, amazing work-that gutter downspout is the worst though! Would you consider a diy rain chain?
It turned out great! everything looks wonderful, and that framed iron ties in with the bench perfectly. Great job!
OMG! When you showed that the leg broke off the bench I was shocked and dismayed! I said out loud "Oh NOOOOOO!"
The sign looks great!
That is so awesome. Our front porch has been a tragedy for a while, I think I'm inspired.
Beautiful! No matter what problem you experienced you continued on. ❤
Love the 80’s beat to the music while you’re cutting the wood! Awesome!😎
It all turned out great! I would turn the bench so it's along the driveway side, creating more of a defined space on the stoop and giving a little more room around the door. I love your mosaic!!!!
Danie, HOW BEAUTIFUL! Great Job Girly🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’m not a mosaic person and I actually love how that turned out. Nice.
I cemented a 8 ft 4x4 post at the corner of my porch, and added plant hanging hooks for hanging pots. I also added some string lights.
I love it just thinking you need a something next to the number sign
BTW…the house numbers’ plaque is REALLY artful & NICE!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Turned out GREAT!! 💜
I love it! You created a wonderfully beautiful entry to your home. It brings color and beauty and style to your home. You did a fabulous job ❤❤❤
You are so fun to watch! The two of you did a great job sprucing up your entry. I would remove the shelf and hang that pretty piece you got from Home sends all by itself. Love your show❤
Amazing work and idea's! Praise God!
Love it! I also think the Herringbone brick pattern was the best choice.
Now maybe a pretty wreath above the cute and wonderful bench....can change out for the holidays !!!!
I had to come and watch on Sunday, it is awesome that you did the bench. And the mosaic numbers was a fabulous touch
Hahahaa the edit in this is amazing!! ❤
A mirror placed onto the back of the art piece would look fantastic. Love this transformation ❤
Things are looking up Dani! This front porch is so beautiful and welcoming. What a lovely place to take a seat and enjoy ❤
Good call on changing the green colour to natural! The bench looks amazing!
GREAT JOB! ❤ I did think you were going to build an overhang above door, though. 😊
