#TeamBUY #TeamDIY #SmallSpaceSolution
Team DIY here🤚 I would d-i-e if I had to pay $351 for the buy 😬
Saaaaame. A roll of craft paper and a shelf?? Yikes
Seriously?? $351 for a dollar tree project and a shelf!?
Samantha B yeah! The sorry girls made a DIY very similar to it
Yes! How could that cost so much? HOW?
“That cost how muuuuuuuuuuuch???!” - The Sorry Girls
Samantha B 😂💀
She showed us so much for the buy and she ended up with that?
The DIY was so much better. I wouldn't have paid $351 for THAT!
She showed a lot of great options that were able to fill the huge space. Tbh I think she didn't even fulfill the task because what can a super tiny shelf and a craftpaper roll fill of this space? This solution would have been better for a small entry way not for a huge niche like that
@@Murasaki_137 that's what I thought. It also seemed super expensive for what it was, tbh.
Team DIY! I sure as hell wouldn't spend $351 on a block of wood and a roll of paper 🤣
I sooo agree why was that $351?!?!? GO DANNI!
Whattt???? DIY for me!!! It's beautiful, also it covers up most of that white wall beautifully.
DIY has soo many pros! Infact I think only pros!
Sigh! Nevermind.
Team DIY! That was a beautiful station you designed and built - it filled the space as they asked, saved them money, and in my opinion, matched the rest of their house. The victory was robbed from you this time!
The Buy is "one of a kind". WTF? It was bought off a shelf that probably had others just like it. When you DIY it will genuinely be one of a kind.
I was team DIY again. I thought Dani’s solution was both stylish and functional.
I’m willing to bet I have several decades on most of your viewers; I definitely could be a parent or even grandparent ( yikes!) to Dani and Alexandra. I only bring it up because life experience has taught me that things like the buy option here have style appeal initially but a year or so down the line? It will be driving them crazy.
The shelf even with the drawer is too small. It will barely hold two phones and isn’t big enough for a tablet. I’m willing to bet that phones will be knocked off the shelf on a regular basis.
While the brown paper and iron piece has a cool factor ( yeah, I get it; it’s sexy.), it is so impractical. First who makes lists that big? Really? And do you want to keep writing that large in perpetuity? If you don’t write large on that paper, your writing will get lost. Also refilling the paper roll will not be easy. It will become a chore. Think about how often people don’t replace toilet paper rolls; now imagine having to replace a much larger and heavier roll that’s at an awkward height to boot.
I bet they are so going to regret spending so much money on this. I had the feeling that Brandon realized that Sam’s choice wasn’t a good idea.
Also, I could be wrong about this, but are young people actually writing grocery or to do lists on paper? Or a chalkboard for that matter? In the days when there are apps for that? In that sense Brandon’s tv idea sounds like a winner. I haven’t seen any good calendar/organization apps for TVs yet. But I’m sure they are coming. You could just cast a good phone app to your tv anyway. It would also be good for recipes.
I would love it if Buy or DIY checked back in with their guests a year or so later. I’d really like to know how the solutions functioned over time.
Over the years I’ve bought so much furniture. And I’ve had so many regrets. I’ve come to realize that you have to be especially cautious about buying big ticket items that make you feel buzzy. Decor that has a huge wow factor is usually difficult to maintain and just becomes a tedious drag. You should buy that kind of stuff for who you are today, day in and day out, not who you aspire to be.
Oh, a where are they now special would be great!
I absolutelly agree with you
rtd1791 Everything you said, including let’s check back and see how quickly they got fed up with hiding the plug with a vase, and having no room to use it for anything else.
I imagine them with the vase in hand looking around for a place to put it while they charge a phone.
Valid points.
Diy all the way. Btw, $351 for a roll of paper & small shelf??
Lorraine Arcand right! I was like 👀👀👀
The DIY is more earth friendly...no paper, nothing to throw away. The DIY provided more space for their keys and other miscellaneous things and they would've been able to fill more of the space, now the space still look sparse. I'm shocked they picked BUY! What tha!
well, the paper is actually more earth-friendly than the markers.
team Diy... y waste so much paper... amazon is burning Alexandra... Great work dani.. u can sell me the DIY🤗😘😘 anytime
love the series... coral
Buy could have been DIY’ed for much cheaper... “DIY for the win” 13:13 your heart is right Dani.
I’m a DIY kind of girl so I normally lean toward the DIY option. And I also think I can normally predict the outcome of Buy or DIY. But I am SO SHOCKED. The buy was extremely overpriced, way too small for the space, and IMO predictable. The DIY was also a little small for the large wall, but way more functional, unique, and cost effective. So shocked. And frankly disappointed in the buy option.
Definitely team diy, but I’m not a minimalist and I would also *never* buy another paper roll once that one ran out. Very cute regardless, but not for me.
Diy for the win, for sure. Love it Dani
can't believe the buy costs $351 altogether..
DIY!!! More functional and the cost was more reasonable. They said they liked the buy because it was minimalist... the price sure wasn’t!! 😂😂
I must say I'm shocked I thought the diy would win because it's charging dock and the message board. The dock had function and color scheme.
Do they do this just to get interaction on the video? Like the more outrageous the price is the more people comment...?
CONSPIRACY
Honestly she just always overspends. Its a consistent flaw. As well as them both going to small in size.
i feel like the guy totally preferred the diy and looked disappointed when she chose the buy... at 12:50 or something it even looks like he goes "really?" and shrugs.
just me?
maybe i'm just biased because i feel like dani nailed this one! so many hooks and knobs and shelf space AND that chic black board will be reusable forever and ever. seems more functional to me 🤷🏽♀️
You two always inspire me.. Definitely DIY for me though
So glad we could be an inspiration for you☺️
YES! #TEAMDIY
DIY 100%!!!!! The buy was not worth the money at all and the DIY had way more function. That was wild!!!
Team DIY, I loved it. But you need to start junking and recycling because you can bring these costs way down.
Just when you’re blown away with the DIY and the buy is super tacky....they choose the buy 😐
Team DIY. Dani’s design was unique, functional, and didn’t require buying butcher paper every year.
I’m so confused how that was $350. With a hefty budget like that I was hoping to see a lot more. The space is still kinda underwhelming. Like gurl go to thrift stores and flea markets even T.J.Maxx or Homegoods would’ve been way more cost effective. The space looked good I guess, but I didn’t really get much from this episode 🤷♀️
I'm disappointed this time: both of them were too small for the big blank wall. Though, buy is more stylish 😉
Unless that was hand done iron and special wood, I think it was good looking but over priced. The DIY seemed more useful but maybe I have too much "stuff" in my life.
That tiny, tiny, tiiiiiiiinnnnnnyyyyyy draw is for toddlers haha And I would be terrified of writing on the paper with a permanent marker for fear of it going through and marking the wall behind it. This buy feels all about aesthetic and nothing about practicality. They look really nice together and likely that’s where the cost comes in, from the design not the usability.
The diy on the other hand had more functionality, was actually more affordable and still had design features. Sometimes I don’t understand humans lol
DIY all the way for me. It’s also very adaptable... and replacing that paper roll when it runs out? I’m definitely a write n wipe girl.
I'm shocked on this one, $351 ????? . Dyi killed it
I really feel sad for how under appreciated is Alexandra on this channel, hope that you know that your taste level is a gift and that you deserve every win you get... and many more, sometimes the diy gets picked and it's really not good 🙄
Fer Aguilar She won. She often does. She’s tuning into the desires of the client when she wins. That’s obviously a very important piece of this exercise. I don’t think people would be quite so vocal had she lost. I know I wouldn’t. It’s not really a criticism of her design talents, since understanding the client is crucial, and clearly she did that.
It's not really about appreciating someone or not. She didn't make the products she bought so that has nothing to do with her. It's the practicality of the chosen final diy or buy. Yes she can tune into what someone says they want and discern what they actually would like to have and that's talent. However for the rest of us who don't have as much detail (we didn't have access to the discussions they had leading up to the episode) what we know is they needed a charging dock and to cover the sockets. Also a command center. That little shelf was barely holding 1 phone and the vase could easily be knocked off. In a real life situation with kids running around, possibly a pet or even guests that vase is a hazard waiting to happen. At least if it wasn't glass?. That's what most people are talking about. Function and practical but still also looks good. The paper thing will need replacing (if it's even used) and that adds expense and work (which they probably won't do considering they hadn't done anything previously). The roll is also wasteful and not good for the environment. Then to top it off needs mounting each time it would be moved either for a paint job or to another room. The metal part is a finger cutting hazard placed at the best height for a kid or a tall pet. To be honest it seems as though the wife just won this out of spite of not getting the tv she wanted in the first place and u can see it on the husband's face.
I would have felt the same way if roles were reversed that the roll was the diy. Considering the audience of this channel, there were far better options.
100% Team DIY!! I just love one of a kind builds.
@@DIYDanie do you ever sell your diys?
This was overall very underwhelming for such a large space. But even more when they picked the buy. THAT was not worth $351, I loved it... but team DIY.
DIY was far better....
Oh one more thought, snap a pic of the DIY board. Are they really going to to take that large piece of paper with them? DIY for sure.
Love u guys
Just can’t wait for ur new buy or diy uploads
Thank you for watching!
I liked the buy. It did fit their style more. I just wish the big roller was on the big wall or something. It felt a little unbalanced with the tiny shelf on the big wall.
"teamdyi for sure!!!!! $351 for those 2 pieces?!? no way!!! Also, DYI was functional, cute and personalized... very strange decision...
I cannot be the only one who thinks 9/10 times the DIY is WAY better than the buy. Every time I LOVE a DIY the people pick the buy and I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. Team DIY for the win.
This time I was team diy! The only thing that bothered me about it were the stripes (but it fit the owners asthetic, so for them it fit well) and I would have liked it better if the shelf would have had a bit higher piece at the one end, so that smartphones etc. aren't falling down as easy, when you're using it. I loved the Idea with the chalkpaint and the pictureframe, even if you don't use it for a shopping list you can use it as an art piece and write down an inspiring sentence or something else! 😊😍
The buy was fitting too, I just didn't like the aspekt of changing the paperroll. I really liked the fact, that the shelf had an drawer so that little things are hidden better, but I didn't expect that price! And where the washitapeidea disappeared? I really liked it. 😊❤️
Great done you two! Can't wait to see the next episode!❤️
Team DIY this time. I was actually really surprised they picked buy, they seemed to really love the DIY.. he even said nailed it.. 🤔
DIY was way, waaaaaaay more functional and affordable and took up more wall space. Alexandra, love ya, girl, but that wasn't worth $351. All of it could've been DIY'd.
I totally loved both of these! But, I totally thought that they were going to go with the DIY. Great episode!
Thank you💖
Preferred the diy. The buy just looked like it only created more than waste.
My pick is the diy. For me, for the buy, that's a huge waste of paper even though it looks good. And the tiny shelf doesn't work for me. As for the framed bit on the shelf, I like my weekly white board calendar so I'd diy that into it.
I totally would have chose the DIY! Its one of a kind, super functional, and they would have had over $100 left to spend on other decor.
Team DIY for me for sure! ☺️ It was beautiful and tastefully done and would have looked really good in that space 😊 But, I’m not sure how a buy is a one of a piece, but if they’re happy, that’s what matters in the end 🙂
Definitely DIY. She nailed it. The buy seemed fairly simple/cheap.
DIY this time, even though I wasn't that crazy about it, I think it should be much bigger to match the space.
The buy was really tiny, super expensive and not environmentally friendly.
☺
I'm team DIY all the way this time. I thought that tiny shelf for the big wall was too small, but the paper thing was gorgeous and I've always loved those! If they could have had Dani's shelf and the paper roll instead of the chalkboard it would have been perfect!
Team DIY, so much waste with the buy and it also reminds me of the paper roll from garden stores that protect your car boot!!
I'm for the DIY. I think a narrow table open so the cat or dog has their area would have worked. Then place the DIY.
Definitely team diy this time! So much more useful, saved so much money and doesn't use any paper!! They're crazy. That tiny draw would drive me crazy.
Love the show team, thanks as always!
I *love* the DIY, because it’s multi-functional and practical as well as beautiful!! The buy is beautiful, like something you’d see in a magazine, but not truly useful day-to-day. If you had sprayed the caning with water and flattened it, it would have been easier to work with ( but not as funny!)❤️
Both are beautiful! However, I have lots of keys. DIY for me!
FAIL! The Buy was soooo disappointing!
What if I can diy what you bought? Team diy
Lady Nxy the buy did seem like something that could have been made st half the price
@@skiniminonochie right
I thought the DIY was going to SLAM the buy. The diy was customized and thoughtful. The buy was an IKEA roll of paper taped on the wall. Garbage. I totally disagree with this one!
Ikea wouldn't be so rude to charge $350 for a roll of paper and tiny floating shelf.
I really loved the DIY on this one 💕
Hello there. do it yourself projects. You have a beautiful canal. Sharing this kitchen organizer is also great. I watch you with admiration. I am doing wood products as a hobby with my DIY projects. I've seen that we have something in common. I congratulate you. huge greetings. Yours truly.........
Team DIY! What the F? 300 dollars for a roll of paper and a small drawer?
DIY for the win!!!
Team diy!!! I can't believe they picked buy!
Definitely DIY for this one!
Buy i agree had style
Team DIY here ❣️❣️❣️ it's personalized and more functional 👌😎
Totally DIY
Definitely DIY. I always love the colour choices of the buys, but felt it to be a bit wasteful this time.
I imagine instead of the mesh thing, if the DIY had glass board, it would have looked way better. Incorporate the stripes in the chalk marker. Also the would stain was a bit off. A bit of copper tones here and there would have been cherry on the top. Great idea! you guys inspired me. Thanks. :)
Awwww.. but but the DIY was so awesome.
Diy I love Diy bravoooo 👏👏👏❤
DIY for sure 😊
Was that the Paper Place seen at 5:21!!! One of my all time favourite stores!
It was! Great catch☺️
I would have chosen the DIY!!
I liked the diy better 😭😭😭
Team DIY 🤷🏼♀️
Team DIY no doubt!
Wow wtf. I would've been upset if I were the homeowner. Maybe their budget was too low idk but the DIY could've made something bigger since she had $150 left over 🤦♀️ For the BUY she could've gone to IKEA! Get a TARVA dresser and spruce it up. Add something big on the wall. The use of space was ridiculous to DIY and buy something so small. But that's just my opinion.
Definitely team buy this time.. it’s a much more minimalist design and looks good without looking like too much 😊
DIY was great!!! A roll of paper and a tiny box that emphasized the outlets and cost a whopping 300 plus price!!!!WHAT?
big mistake. buy was ridiculously overpriced and not really functional. DIY was incredible and so affordable.
Team DIY 100%. It was so much more functional, fit the space better, and was a way better value. The BUY was very overpriced, still left the wall looking incredibly empty, and had very little practicality/functionality. Also, it creates a lot of paper waste and another expense down-the-road when they have to buy more paper rolls. The husband seemed really into the DIY. I'm, honestly, shocked that they went with the BUY. $351 is a dining table and set of chairs, not a tiny shelf and mounted roll of paper.
So the overpriced Buy is "one of a kind" but the DIY isn't?? The Diy is more functional, more customized, and way cheaper. Kind of surprised anyone found the Buy acceptable.
Was so surprised, definitely DIY for me
I have to say I do like the buy but Dani could have easily made that floating shelf with a drawer but bigger to make it more functional. And could have made the brown craft paper list thing too! And there’s no way that’s $350! Team DIY!
The DIY definitely should have been the winner. I was quite disappointed in the Buy...especially the price - ridiculous! (No offense, Alexandra) Also, for that price, I would have expected something more than just filling a third of that empty space! It looks like they just stuck it in the corner and the rest of the wall is still a big empty space!
Alexandra: I'm going to take this idea up a notch.
Also Alexandra: spends 350$ on an ugly ass roll of paper and a shelf.
(No hate! Love Alex, but she did a goofy job here).
DIY for sure! I was shocked when they chose the buy. You can’t use that shelf without moving, or knocking over, the vase, and there’s not enough room to use it for anything else. And that roll of craft paper is not very useful. Plus, I think the DIY was way more attractive as well as being totally functional. I’m mystified.
351 $ for one paper roll and one extremely little shelf? HELL NO. The DIY was so much better and functional.
You can get that craft paper list thing for way cheaper and I know that shelf didn't cost more than $20... Cause whoa.....Team DIY hands down!
Wtf, DIY was 100x better. How could they choose that stupid overpriced thing? What are you even supposed to do with that brown paper thingie? Unless you write really largely on it, it would look so ugly. And that shelf is the least functional thing I've ever seen. Not even a phone would fit on it.
Diy definitely should have won. 350$ for I teeny tiny shelf, a metal bar, and a roll of paper? 🤷♀️ besides how obnoxious would it be taking a list that big to the grocery store, and all the waste from the paper!
Didn't see that coming. Sounded like the wife said 'nailed it' for the DIY. Could've added a small bench to the space to bring even more function and still come in under budget. Can't believe they chose the underwhelming Buy with the tiny drawer. SMH.
I think I would have been DIY. I really loved the DIY for this area, but I would have changed out the knobs (pretty but...) to look more like the cabinet pulls, and added more of them. Then in my opinion it would have tied to their kitchen better. Really loved the buy as well, but wow! What a price tag!
Team DIY as always, ( mostly), cause it's just awesome. Plus you don't have to spend more money replacing the paper when you're finished with the roll, cheaper all the way around.
$351 for a roll of paper & a small box??? Crazy!!! Definitely liked the DYI better!!!
I go with team DIY. This is much more practical and it looks fantastic! The different materials and colours are well combined and fits perfectly in this kitchen. Don't worry, Danie. You did a great job!
Got to go for DIY...the buy not enough shelf space and I'm not digging the paper. Sorry Alexandra 😣
The buy looked nice, but it's a continual money suck - if it's actually used. I would have wanted wider / more shelves in the DIY. Neither were really what I would need for a command center.
I think this project was more intended for the visual instead of functional. Both options were nice but neither I'd choose, unfortunately
Alexandra always pays too much for something that can be bought for a cheaper price and she always calls them “budget friendly “ 😏 always team DIY 👊🏽
