My husband is a compulsive ‘neatnit’. I am not. I’ve worked almost all my life. I am 70 yrs young and disabled and housebound. I recently sold some property. I looked around and knew there was something I could do beside laying in bed. I always had a housekeeper while working so now we are stuck with a messy house. I always sewed for my daughter and myself - everything from play clothes to evening gowns. I have a collection of old sewing machines but with the new computerized embroidery machines they would do most of the work. I forgot, I’m a diabetic and have lost most feeling in my hands. We have 2 new children hospitals and a homeless women’s shelter. I decided I would use my money and make quilts for the women and children at no charge - I.e. non-profit. I now have a fabric stash in two rooms. I can make panel quilts easily so I have panels, batting, backing, etc. in every room. I need some suggestions so I can sort, store, and work on my quilts. I’ve tried Japanize solution but that did no good. My hubby wants to lump it altogether. I keep telling him you have to get it out in open so you can organize like with like. Any suggestions you may have for organizing my stash room and my sewing room would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading this. JZSherlock@live.com
I dont know why this doesn't have more views - I have been searching for something exactly like this! Surely everyone needs this in their lives?! Danny is freaking awesome.
Love this (way beyond my stash of tools). Just a suggestion- I have a large drawer full of "crap clothes" that I keep specifically for painting, messy projects, messy cleaning & coloring my hair. I never wear my reg clothes for those events (I also dont wear the crap clothes in public).
Oh I need to try this. I sort my laundry by lights, darks, socks & underwear, delicates, sportswear & outdoor, towels, bedding, denim and spot treatment. I’ve been sorting with different kinds of laundry sorters and buckets... it’s not a good look 😅
This is the first video I've seen of yours. I subscribed within the first minute. The diy is fantastic but the puns were the cherry on top! I like your style, lol. I'm a dad so that just speaks my language. Thank you
Meanwhile most folks I know around here just hope to live in an apartment building that has a laundry room with a working washer & dryer after pumping a ton of quarters into them 🙃. But that piece is beautiful 💜.
OMG I NEED THIIIIS! I have been trying to figure out the best way for everyone’s clothes, and this is IT❤️😍 I have 6 kids in my home (soon to be 7), and my husband and I. Three kids in college (two daughters and my son in law), one senior in high school, two adopted children, and a grandchild on the way! Omg, thaaaank you for the detailed video. My husband, son and son in law are about to be busy 😍 THANK YOU❤️
Thanks for mentioning that you have to get over the intimidation factor with tools, too! I have to tackle a stand for something that will challenge me and I appreciate the encouragement. 💕 🌸
Honestly, I "Like" the video as soon as you start showing your plans and talking technicals. I'm so excited you started your own channel, I love for women (literal) creators to keep growing
Everybody has their own needs which you just address rather than judge whether you would do it. Ee learn a lot that way. This was an eye opener and most lovely sense of order.
I make a lot of compartments too as I have found that sorting out your laundry beforehand actually saves you A LOT of time when you need to put them into the washing machine (temperature, number of cycles...) and you don't have to guess if something was forgotten in the bottom of your basket: - whites - colours - darks - beddings & towels - knits & delicates - very dirty fabric (the ones I use for cleaning my floors and house) But I think after this video, I will do a separate space for socks too! Lol. Great DIY btw, Dani! 😄
Yes, laundry to me is very very personal. No stain is to great or small! My pre-treat game is on 🔥 with my homemade concoction to battle the "war of stains". I even separate my colors. Greens reds yellows/beiges, well you get the picture!😏. Admittedly I have issues! But it could be worse☺. Nothing beats a fresh smelling stain free warm load of laundry. Neatly folded, stacked accordingly, ready to be put away. Ahhhhhh!
Hellllppp! I live in a apartment and I have two HUGGEE AC units hanging in the wall. Could you do a custom build that opens in order to use the AC unit so I don’t have to take down what’s covering it each time? Thanks! Love your vids.
I still live at home with parents and 3 brothers and man we could definitely use a laundry system! Even if we only do whites, towels/blankets & “the rest” loads. 😂 But first I’ve made mums dining table, my brother made dad an indoor bar and now we are both tackling a new entertainment unit for the TV and entryway table super excited !! I love watching your videos for inspiration 💞
This is awesome! The modern legs in wood stain make this cabinet look like a piece of furniture. Nice blend of traditional & modern! Cup pulls are my fave type of knob. It was a big challenge, but you nailed it! More like this!!!
The puns made this even better! *Cricket noises as I try to think of cute laundry pun to insert here.* But yes, love this. Inspires me to not give up on my dream to create (or find someone else to create) the custom shoe storage bench my head has been dreaming up. Ever visit America?
I just want to say that I'm so glad YT suggested to watch your HP Room Makeover vid, because that led to this one, and I'm now a subscriber. You're really funny, and the end results of your projects are pretty cool.
I really like this idea! Don't doubt your skills, they're way better than anything I could ever achieve! Your sense of humour cracks me up 😆 You and Alexandra should come to London, UK and do some projects! Keep up the great work 👍
Omg!!!😍😍😍 Came up to your page at a random DIY video recommendation. And boy you know how to make any DIY easy and beautifully!! I'm not afraid to pick up a tool at all, and with hardly any background in my end, you know how to make someone that has a small little spark of uniqueness shine like the sun! This video you did has inspired me to try it once we finish remodeling our house. I'm so excited and happy I watched your adventure with this DIY. Keep making videos!! Your doing an awesome job love!💗🙏
I'm a new subscriber who happens to be Jamaican. lol, yes patties are a life source for most of us, but its insides wouldn't get aesthetic awards. This piece was beautifully done. Fun Fact: One of Jamaica's most prominent high schools is called Kingston College. Their school's colors are purple and white.
I do 1 lights, 2 darks, 3 light towels, 4 dark towels, 5 cleaning cloths, 6 hubby's work wear, 7 socks underwear and pyjamas. I need a sorting thing like this!
My approach to laundry is this: I only do it once a week to keep from having to put clothes away multiple times (like every day would just put me off laundry for life). I used this method when raising 3 teenagers on my own and working full time. Whites first, because that is when the water is the hottest; then medium colors; then darks; folding each load as it came out of the dryer. Then we would do our sheets while we folded the last load and put their stuff away. Typically 10 total loads, but done for the week.
Danie, this DIY is goals. I need this sooo bad. You have inspired me to re-think my laundry area and how it works for us. Thank you so much. Keep up the amazing work!
Wow, I’m impressed, it’s perfect and thank you for the advice, I always question myself if I can do it, but now, I’m going to start, with something small of course. Thank you for the inspiration ❤️
I have triple sorters x2: whites, lights (and colors), darks, jeans, delicates, and sheets.. there is a separate one for towels in the bathroom, and reds don't get washed until there's enough for a full load. Also, my closet has become so full of my favorite color (purple) that there's usually a load of just those as well.
Hello ! Well, I do black, white, blues-greens, red-pink-purple, army and kitchen. Cleaning rugs and animal stuff of course separate. Please mark that where I live we dont have laundry rooms, just a washing machine in the bathroom or the kitchen and we have to air dry and iron, we are a family of five. Love your videos !!
I sort everything ... white, light and dark clothes, towels, bedroom linen, kitchen ( dishtowels, tablecloths etc). This is done weekly - and it's only my laundry
Can you do a video about making a laundry chute where the top part of the chute is a pull out cabinet similar to what you created here? I have seen a lot of images and videos of the completed product, but none on how to. Btw, I love your channel: I love your fun quirky sense of humor, while still making the videos super informative. Too many channels are all personality and no substance or all substance but no personality. You have a great mix of both.
I sort my laundry by white, black, colors, wool, sportswear, delicates, towels and duvet cover and last but not least: jeans... I’d need 8 drawers lol 😂
6 different loads?! Wow! The build could actually be used for a lot of things, like recycling, craft rooms, kids rooms for toys, mud rooms, etc etc!! I had 6 kids, and I just threw all the laundry in together with a Colour Catcher cloth..it would have been a taken far to long each day to divide it all! I did lose a ton of socks though..😁 😁
Absolutely beautiful and genius Danie!! Good job! Love your videos, can't wait for new ones to come out. I might add you are an absolute hoot! A very sweet and talented and very cute hoot!
Wow, the white really breaks up the dark colour of the room. Now you make me think I should tackle something. We are moving in a few weeks. Maybe I can do a few projects in the new house instead of purchasing....hm...girl you give me inspiration/motivation....
U did and amazing job girl !!!! It looks so good and honestly like a piece of furniture bought from the store!!! I'm in awe of how good u are! U go girl ❤.

Opps - sorry for the small spelling mishap at 3:27 😅
We love you 😘
And your energy it's contagious 😂😂🤗🇨🇦💃❤️
where did you find that magnetic latch?? I'm currently building something that I've been trying to find something like that for, and that's perfect!
You are so cool
This is awesome! I would have loved to either see the homeowner’s reaction or at least a short bit at the end, “and they loved it” etc etc.
I love everything about this video! Your humor, creativity, the illustration and the cool DIY! Love the outcome
We are aWash in puns today
- Loads of fun
- Cleaning up
- Got that sorted
- Throw in the Towel
Comedy Gold.

I can’t fathom doing that much sorting BUT I love how the makeover turned out!
Absolutely love the design. Sooo pretty and it goes really well with the purple wall. Also, love your puns, can't wait for a 'fresh load' next video 😛
I dont know why this doesn't have more views - I have been searching for something exactly like this! Surely everyone needs this in their lives?!
Danny is freaking awesome.
Men don’t like laundry puns, they’re just going to deter gents!
laundry deter gents?
That joke would sound really awful.... reads decently though
Ha ha ha ! This is the place for puns!
First off. I'm so glad you have your own Channel, I adore you and your personality. Secondly. Thank you for having a fit dog!!
!!!!!!!! As soon as I buy my own house, I'm making this (or getting someone to make it for me, whichever). I LOVE this.
Love this (way beyond my stash of tools). Just a suggestion- I have a large drawer full of "crap clothes" that I keep specifically for painting, messy projects, messy cleaning & coloring my hair. I never wear my reg clothes for those events (I also dont wear the crap clothes in public).
I have the same stash❗🤩
That is a beautiful piece of furniture 😍
I love Learning with Danie!
It's much more beautiful and useful that my plastic laundry baskets, I have 4! I also love that timeless style you gave it. Bravo ma belle.
I really liked your project & way you explain whole process! Thank you )
Oh I need to try this. I sort my laundry by lights, darks, socks & underwear, delicates, sportswear & outdoor, towels, bedding, denim and spot treatment. I’ve been sorting with different kinds of laundry sorters and buckets... it’s not a good look 😅
This is the first video I've seen of yours. I subscribed within the first minute. The diy is fantastic but the puns were the cherry on top! I like your style, lol. I'm a dad so that just speaks my language. Thank you
OMG! I need this....it would solve multiple problems in my tiny house.
Great job that looked had and you did it. You are one great carpenter.
Oh lordy, not a carpenter. I have way too much respect for real craftsman but I am super thrilled how it turned out 🥰
Meanwhile most folks I know around here just hope to live in an apartment building that has a laundry room with a working washer & dryer after pumping a ton of quarters into them 🙃. But that piece is beautiful 💜.
OMG I NEED THIIIIS! I have been trying to figure out the best way for everyone’s clothes, and this is IT❤️😍 I have 6 kids in my home (soon to be 7), and my husband and I. Three kids in college (two daughters and my son in law), one senior in high school, two adopted children, and a grandchild on the way! Omg, thaaaank you for the detailed video. My husband, son and son in law are about to be busy 😍 THANK YOU❤️
Thanks for mentioning that you have to get over the intimidation factor with tools, too! I have to tackle a stand for something that will challenge me and I appreciate the encouragement. 💕 🌸
You’re a little crazy but it makes your videos all the more fun watching besides learning great ideas 😂👍🏽
Honestly, I "Like" the video as soon as you start showing your plans and talking technicals. I'm so excited you started your own channel, I love for women (literal) creators to keep growing
Your channel is my new DIY fav! MORE PLEASE!!! LOVE love LOVE love LoVeeeeeeeee!
that cabinet is beautiful, and so well finished you cant tell its diy you are so talented!
Everybody has their own needs which you just address rather than judge whether you would do it. Ee learn a lot that way. This was an eye opener and most lovely sense of order.
Incredible! You impress and bring on the chuckles! 🤩🤣😂😅
This is amazing! Great design! You go girrrrrrrrl! 👏👏👏👏👏👍
I make a lot of compartments too as I have found that sorting out your laundry beforehand actually saves you A LOT of time when you need to put them into the washing machine (temperature, number of cycles...) and you don't have to guess if something was forgotten in the bottom of your basket:
- whites
- colours
- darks
- beddings & towels
- knits & delicates
- very dirty fabric (the ones I use for cleaning my floors and house)
But I think after this video, I will do a separate space for socks too! Lol.
Great DIY btw, Dani! 😄
I'm totally hoping on this sock train too! SO SMART!!!!
I would buy that the outcome was amazing

Danie I think you are so fun to watch and a very talented gal! I love your smart dog to.
Great job! But we didnt see/hear new laundry area owners reaction .... im sure they loved it 😊
I know :( they asked not to be on camera but they LOVED it 🥰🥰✨
That looks really good! I'm one of those people who does everything in the same load but maybe I'll start sorting it if I had the system for it 😁😁
Holy Cow! What an amazing build! Your work is outstanding!
Your laundry organizer is the BEST!! 😍 Love this video! - A
This is awesome! The modern legs in wood stain make this cabinet look like a piece of furniture. Nice blend of traditional & modern! Cup pulls are my fave type of knob. It was a big challenge, but you nailed it! More like this!!!
Wauw, thats a realy beautiful laundry unit!!! That nook looks so much better!!! Hats off to you!!!
Girl you are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
I am impressed. It turned out great.

I love the laundry bin piece. The wicker baskets were too big to me. You did a great job!
I really like this idea!
Don't doubt your skills, they're way better than anything I could ever achieve!
Your sense of humour cracks me up 😆
You and Alexandra should come to London, UK and do some projects!
Keep up the great work 👍
Great job! Love a custom solution to a problem and a specific space.
I love this AND I need this! I also have a sorting method and my baskets are an eye sore. Really wish I could DIY like you Danie!
All I saw was the Thumbnail and I was clicking the Like button!
I'm an organizing freak ---
LUV LUV LUV 😘💞❤️!!!
Oh I so wanted a comfy reading chair with a cute table under that window!
Yes you have the skills no guestion about that. That was amazing job well done.
I’m glad you made this video but I have a bigger problem. This gave me so many tips so I won’t be lost. Thanks!!
Your editing skills are super impressive. I love your videos.
I love that. Great for a laundry room as well
you inspire me to take a short course on carpentry...such an amazing 👏👏👏😍😍😊👍
I so love those little mini „episodes“ in between like making coffee 😍
Omg!!!😍😍😍 Came up to your page at a random DIY video recommendation. And boy you know how to make any DIY easy and beautifully!!

I love Jamaican patties. Great project!
I love big builds and I cannot lie..😁😂

Omg this has been my exact idea for a long time been trying to figure it out two years how to build it cheap
My approach to laundry is this: I only do it once a week to keep from having to put clothes away multiple times (like every day would just put me off laundry for life). I used this method when raising 3 teenagers on my own and working full time.

Then we would do our sheets while we folded the last load and put their stuff away. Typically 10 total loads, but done for the week.
I would love to see some kitchen storage builds! I need a slim profile type thing but haven't done it.
You are so talented and so creative!!! I absolutely love love your videos... keep the good work up
I would love to make a smaller version of this :) thanks for sharing!
Yes! Well done Danie. I've been wanting to do a version of this for a kitchen trolley with tilt out garbage bins. I'm doin it!
I love your editing, humor, and final results!💖💕💓💘💞
I would have loved to see the couples reaction!
Danie, this DIY is goals. I need this sooo bad. You have inspired me to re-think my laundry area and how it works for us. Thank you so much. Keep up the amazing work!
So pretty. I love that.
Your such a genius.
Wow, I’m impressed, it’s perfect and thank you for the advice, I always question myself if I can do it, but now, I’m going to start, with something small of course. Thank you for the inspiration ❤️

I subd for your amazing personality alone within the first 30 seconds of this video. My first of yours.
you inspire me so much your creativity rocks ... love your vids .... thanks for sharing ... awesome job!!
omg it looks so awesome! i really dont need such a big laundry storage but i want to have one because it looks so cool! ;-)
This is exactly what I am looking for! Wish I can find someone to build one 😕
You're not a troll, you're a wizard! So great. I'd love one of these sorting units.
Hello ! Well, I do black, white, blues-greens, red-pink-purple, army and kitchen. Cleaning rugs and animal stuff of course separate.

Wow girl! Laundry unit of my dreams! You are the bomb! Wow 🤩

Awesome job, I'm adding this to my list to do! Thank you!
This is wonderful, Danie! I would be so much interested in knowing how you started your diy-journey. I am just awed by your skills.
Well done! It looks beautiful
Brilliant work, Danie!
Wow, the white really breaks up the dark colour of the room. Now you make me think I should tackle something. We are moving in a few weeks. Maybe I can do a few projects in the new house instead of purchasing....hm...girl you give me inspiration/motivation....
There's an edge banding trimmer. I love using mine. Cuts it perfectly! 😁
U did and amazing job girl !!!! It looks so good and honestly like a piece of furniture bought from the store!!! I'm in awe of how good u are! U go girl ❤.
Great idea and design.
Wow. So amazing! Seriously impressed!
