Exposed beams…..um….aren’t those just the upstairs floorboards? Doesn’t it get loud when someone is walking upstairs? I like the idea, but I don’t know if this is it honestly. But at least you love it, that’s what matters lol
I agree! Previous owners insulated it for a reason but it is their house to do as they wish. Partially finished basement vibe, not really finished farmhouse look.
Yes! And also about that mice poop.. Well mice can travel in that room since there are openings in those walls. I can see it as a temporary solution but not a finished idea. Very nice first impression but longterm, not thought trough.
The only bad thing on this DiY episode is that we have to wait for the second part😔 I really like how the built in shelves turned out it isn't the typical farmhouse style you see when others renovate their home, which I really love because I can't stand that anymore (it seems more like boho style to me, but because it is so subtile it works really great with the rest of the room). Also painting the ceiling made the room look so much taller and the beams stand out in a beautiful way. All in all. Well done Dannie! :) I can't wait to see how the whole thing turns out in the end 😊
@@ih4630 Lol, spray painting and a paint sprayer are different things! You're referring to the aerosol cans. But in this case, a paint sprayer is a motored device used with watered down paint. Of course, you need to avoid breathing the paint in while spraying, but once dry, there's no chemicals or anything harmful going on.
@@Rhyzal_ appreciate your clarification: we've only used a paint sprayer as you describe recently, but it was THE BEST way to refresh louvered closet doors. Cannot imagine painting those by hand -- would have taken weeks given time constraints (working full time and only having weekend time to really tackle big projects)
Now THIS is DIYing at its finest! She’s not making key rings out of dollar store pegs, not that there’s anything wrong with that LOL But this build takes real talent. STUNNING 🤩 Dani you are a Queen! 👑
I can probably provide one possible answer to this question. This is not meant to sound like I am attacking her at all I do like her work a lot... but there is WAY too much of her and just her ...talking way too much. She is quirky and has a good sense of humor but she is definitely over kill with it. She needs to just film more of the process and less of herself talking...or maybe try messing with how she edits it? Im not sure...but I found myself getting annoyed and I really tried to not get annoyed bcuz I really like her work and ideas...but it was just too much. She needs to find a happy medium bcuz I almost couldn't finish watching. In fact I didn't. I had to keep fast forwarding. I want to reiterate I am not trying to dog on her or put her down. I'm just being honest. I think she could really grow her channel but she will have to listen to her subscribers in order to do so. Thats the only reason im putting this out there. I didn't want to say anything lol until I saw your comment and I thought...well...this may be the perfect opportunity to say something. My apologies to you if my words offend you or anyone else. I'm still going to try to keep watching and support her.
The part I don't quite understand, is you're saying they are "farmhouse beams", but they are just joists. Looks unfinished to me. But oh well, I'm happy you're happy and I like other things you work on.
Love it! However, I’m going to make a suggestion! Don’t you think the top shelf of the desk should be level with the top shelf of the bookshelves? You know more than I, so take this suggestion with a grain of salt!
dude, your content, your editing, your projects, your DIY's, are so top notch that if you dont have at least a million subs by this time next year i would honestly be shocked. Your personality and general fun attitude is enough to make me want to watch no matter what you did, but your just so freaking good at everything.
Love everything, but that split beam/ floor joist in in ceiling is giving me an eye twitch. I know that isn't your doing, but now that it's exposed are you going to fix it?
Everyone doesn't need to like her style, she's the one that's living in that house. Quit nit-picking. I think it suits her just fine and all that matters is she's happy with it. I think it looks fantastic!!! 💞🇨🇦💞
So, no tea no shade. It's your house so if you love it, you go girl. But those ain't beams. Those are floor trusses. Beams are typically as wide as they are tall. Those are literally floor trusses. They hold your floor for the second level. Not beams. The planks you see is subfloor upstairs...
Yes this is bothering me too... I want to figure out what she could do instead. Those joists are just so skinny and so obviously not beams.... But they're too close together probably to build out faux beams to encase them. That one place where there is a short one stuck to a long piece is really ugg. And the stripey weirdness on the bottom of the joists is bad.
not to mention you will hear absolutely EVERYTHING upstairs. probably ok because it's just them but if a family ever moved in that wouldn't be the best.
Danie, y’all have done a fantastic job, and the built in’s are just stunning! Jeff is a total gem helping out like he does, but he’s right, DIY’s can be tough on a relationship, especially when one honestly doesn’t have the same vision /or enthusiasm as the other. (Speaking from experience) Can’t wait to see what you have in mind for the rest of the room!
Wow! That looks beautiful! I would love to hear an update at some point about living with those ceilings. Does the removal of the insulation make a difference in temperature/noise control?
ya. you could go into any modern house now and see the same beams under the ceiling. the kind of beams you are looking for are wider. if you like it thats whats important. but it is not some 110 year feature. Love your videos either way!
Dani I love it! I think you should paint the "ceiling" inside the tall arches to make them more seamless and so you can see the beauty of that peak from every angle!
It's because they're not beams. They're just floor joists. Agree overall the shelf work is great these ceilings don't look good. Maybe if she made some faux beams to encase the joists? And cover up where there are exposed wires and junk?
I love it Just one suggestion that I would do...... make desk section top shelf be same height as all the rest for the viewer to think it's one long shelf Just my view
Desks and tables are usually a standard height for ergonomic reasons but she could easily lower the shelves in the bookcases to match the desktop height.
it bugs me when ppl don't paint everything just cuz they plan to put a furniture there... just pain it for completeness and in case you get bored of the furniture
My two favorite parts were Konbi playing in the sprinkler and Danie sticking her tongue out while gluing the corner shapes for the shelves😆...I do the same thing😉
I love the built-in but not so keen on the exposed beams. They just look rough to me. Maybe if they were encased in wood so that the doubled up joists weren’t so obvious. But if you like it, that’s all that matters.
When I moved into my century home two years ago, I was not as into DIY as I am now and have been kicking myself ever since for selling my Billy bookcase for $25. I've come across so many useful DIYs I could have used it for! Ah, live and learn.
It also removes the fire barrier. Which means fire is going to spread faster between floors and rooms. Exposing raw wood like this, if the house does happen to have a fire, it's going to be absolutely catastrophic.
@@TheCountofCasualty geez you guys! there are only the 2 of them there so i'm sure hearing someone walk across the floor for a minute isn't going to be a big deal. and....?!
I love the shelving and gothic arches (girl after my own gothic heart!) however, if I could change just oneeeeeee thing it would be that you paint the upper part inside the shelving where the arches are. I found when looking at it the arches were getting lost with the white paint so if it were black those arches would literally pop out and look so amazingggg. Other then that love love love!
Loved loved it! A suggestion maybe .. paint the insides of the cabinet row with the arches black so that no matter which angle you look at the arches from its distinct and pops ?!
I loved how you incorporated the outlet into the bookshelf, that was a genius idea!!! Both the bookshelves and the exposed ceiling complements each other so well!!! Can't wait for part Two.
every time I watch your videos I'm like "I love Danie's style so much!" only to just realize I also dress in black and hats and have purple hair lmao anyway thanks style icon! 💜
I don't know what my problem is, I always doubt your design at the beginning and I'm afraid it won't turn out perfectly, I'm always happy when I realize that I'm wrong, it's perfect, yes, I'm drooling
So happy I found your channel. Your very beautiful inside and out which is hard to come by these days, funny and very entertaining, and awesomely creative. Amazing work girl!
Awesone! I've been wanting to do some billy hack built ins in my living room area. Unfortunately, I don't have a Jeff. I have a David. This means, I will be doing alone and my level of DIY is nowhere near yours, so I have been putting off. Nice to live vicariously through you!
You painted MDF without priming? That's ballsy. I really like the way your bookcase came up and I think you need to fill the gap between the wall and the case to make it really look built in. Personally I think you banged your what a little bit too much but it looks pretty good in terms of color. Can I ask why you didn't sand the bottom of your beams to get rid of all those white lines?
My 9-year-old has told that fan joke like 3 times already today 😂 I guess you could say she IS a fan. But seriously though, you're our favorite DIYer to watch together ❤️
Haha your husband saying your relationship survived another project 😂😂 that’s always what my husband and I say to each other! Loved this! It turned out so amazing 🤩
Hi Danie, I absolutely love this DIY ! I just have one suggestion for you. Why don't you paint the inside sides of the cabinets black like the back ? I think the junction between them and the back ruins a bit the illusion of the cathedral fronts, because it is really squared behind the roundness of the fronts. You could just leave the fronts and shelves white and I think. and it would be perfect. Hope you see what I mean and can't wait for part 2 !!
Excellent work! Idea: paint built-in frame green to match window trim? Also new channel name "DIY DAFFY" (Danie+Jeffrey)?!?! It's an adorable couple name!
great job on the built ins. they look like they've always been there!! such a simple design but so much work!! cannot wait for the finished room reveal. God bless
I absolutely love your intro reel. I wait for you to say 'Editor roll the tape, boop.' and then dance to the tune. Also, I think you are hilarious and enjoy all your jokes.
Is this what Americans call beams? because in the UK they are just joists. so would never be seen and definitely never exposed. Beams to us are fairly large pieces of wood usually a rough square shape and on average hundreds of years old
It's a fair point! In Canada, they are also called Joists! The beams are on the outside and are, to your point, more Square. It just doesn't feel as fun to say "let's expose the joists!" ♥️
Such a talented woman you are😊😊😊🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽I love how you did those bookcases👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 I really like that space saving desk in between🥰I want to have that type of desk area in my closet - like you I have a vision in my head but I’m not such a great builder😂😂😂😂😂! Can’t wait for part 2😊😊😊
Bookcase looks ✨AMAZING✨! Love the ‘Harry Potter goes to Morocco’ vibe! (I mean, there could be important magic in Morocco, right? Or an old friend of Dumbledore’s, or something?🧙🏽♂️) Also loved that Jeff (Geoff?) just casually stood ON THE FLOOR and ripped the ceiling down. Tall men for the win!😁 My tall husband does things like the all the time, and I stand there with my (little) mouth open. Looking forward to the reveal!
YaY Danie!!! You are the bomb...(that's a good thing) :) in case you didn't know what I mean. Totally a Danie room! You're so inspiring and love your can-do attitude! I've learned so much from you. Thank you for showing your "oops" because it makes it real for me :) When you stained the boards the "therapy" really showed up! Beautiful anger management LOL! I subscribe to a lot of TH-cam channels and honestly say, you're the coolest!! Excited to see part 2 :) Peace and Good Vibes coming your way Danie!!!
Long time subscriber, first time commenter. The first thing that comes to mind after watching this Part 1 video is that I love your process. It’s fun. It’s funny and you’re EPIC and AWESOME yourself.
Wow I lOVE the ceiling!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the way you and Jeff built in the book cases you are so amazingly talented. I have a drop ceiling in my family room in our downstairs. It makes me want to rip it out I would just see pvc pipes and wires as well. But after seeing your office part one it would be ok! I love that look. I can't wait to see how you finished it. I love watching your old video's!!!!!!!!!
If you do a Q&A, I'm curious how you personally get through creative slumps? I'm always inspired & excited when I see you post, but I can't just have your videos on 24/7 :P I know that people say 'change your environment', but I'm in a position that, due to my health, I cannot go far from my home-which is in a very rural area.
Omg Danie, what do you mean hate it? I LOVE IT. The built in bookcase, that is not just a regular bookcase, it's an art piece and the ceiling, I love it, I am lost for words in describing how much I love it. I can't wait for part 2. This part was really really good, part two is going to be even better. Sending you a big hug, get some rest, get ready for your next DIY. ❤😜😋
This is amazing!! I've done a paint job in the same style as you did here with the bookcases (and I cut up the shelves to make them random heights and shapes) but I'm totally gonna do those arches on them as well! Maybe with the whole shelves including the toppers, our living room is already quite busy. And them I'm gonna put arches on everything! Coffee table! Work table! TV! Toilet!
This is your most amazing transformation ever and it's not even done! Love the built in bookcase, it looks kinda boho or Moroccan-inspired, but still works with the farmhouse theme! Love the exposed beam s as well, I'm aware others have quibbled that they're "floor joists" but who cares, what's the difference, it's a similar look and looks very unique and farmhouse/industrial,and goes great with your farmhouse theme!
You have redone the office and your studio room and the she-shack…. Does Geoffrey/Jeffrey (??) your lovely partner, have a room for himself that you guys will be DIY-ing? I’d love to see that.
ROFL! I'm only a minute in and I'm laughing so hard. You're really fun and funny AND I always learn a lot. TY for your hard work and btw, I am IN LOVE with the floral mural you painted on your peg board (was totally blown away by that episode).
I just did a full wall of built-in bookcases out of IKEA Billy bookcases too!! I used trim molding to cover the seams where the bookcases meet as well as along the top and bottom. But, now I wish I'd thought of using MDF! What a fantastic idea!!

If she loves it that’s great, but those are definitely just the upstairs floor joist and boards.
Either way, what else would you call them? Are you going to say upstairs floor boards every time?
I agree! Previous owners insulated it for a reason but it is their house to do as they wish. Partially finished basement vibe, not really finished farmhouse look.

Spray painting is bad for the person as well as bad for the environment… Better to do it the old-fashioned way and grab a paintbrush.

When you said "anger management", I heard "anchor management". Given the content of this channel I was very impressed with the casual pun. 😎
Me too. Also thought it was a classic Dani pun. BTW Girl’s got guns. Probably from painting ceilings.
Wow! That is quite the “teaser” for Part 2!! I love how your designs always end up looking like they were always there - organic, natural.

I absolutely love your intro reel. I wait for you to say 'Editor roll the tape, boop.' and then dance to the tune. Also, I think you are hilarious and enjoy all your jokes.
This is the perfect BOD or beginning of my day! Lol. How do you finish the top of the drywall where you scored it? Did it end up being even?
Absolutely Fantastic!! You never cease to amaze Danie!!
“I love these activities, because i can just listen to a nice audiobook and...”
Me: ohno its gonna be sponsored isn’t it
You might have dyscalculea. You might know that already...... but its like dyslexia for numbers.
Soooo...soooo...good. Admire your craftsman skills. Thanks for showing your progress in this transformation. Keep up the great work.k.🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Is this what Americans call beams? because in the UK they are just joists. so would never be seen and definitely never exposed. Beams to us are fairly large pieces of wood usually a rough square shape and on average hundreds of years old
No she is calling them beams, but they're still joists here in the U.S.
It's a fair point! In Canada, they are also called Joists! The beams are on the outside and are, to your point, more Square. It just doesn't feel as fun to say "let's expose the joists!" ♥️
WOOHOO!! DANIE DAY!
Awesome build! The whole room feels so much more functional already!
Such a talented woman you are😊😊😊🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽I love how you did those bookcases👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 I really like that space saving desk in between🥰I want to have that type of desk area in my closet - like you I have a vision in my head but I’m not such a great builder😂😂😂😂😂! Can’t wait for part 2😊😊😊
Bookcase looks ✨AMAZING✨! Love the ‘Harry Potter goes to Morocco’ vibe! (I mean, there could be important magic in Morocco, right? Or an old friend of Dumbledore’s, or something?🧙🏽♂️) Also loved that Jeff (Geoff?) just casually stood ON THE FLOOR and ripped the ceiling down. Tall men for the win!😁 My tall husband does things like the all the time, and I stand there with my (little) mouth open. Looking forward to the reveal!
You kinda suck girl! FOR MAKING US WAIT FOR PART TWO! This hack turned out amazing!!🤩🤩🤩
YaY Danie!!! You are the bomb...(that's a good thing) :) in case you didn't know what I mean. Totally a Danie room! You're so inspiring and love your can-do attitude! I've learned so much from you. Thank you for showing your "oops" because it makes it real for me :) When you stained the boards the "therapy" really showed up! Beautiful anger management LOL! I subscribe to a lot of TH-cam channels and honestly say, you're the coolest!! Excited to see part 2 :) Peace and Good Vibes coming your way Danie!!!
As always it’s awesome!! Very professional!! Worth the work👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽 now hurry up and give us part 2😍😍
Long time subscriber, first time commenter. The first thing that comes to mind after watching this Part 1 video is that I love your process. It’s fun. It’s funny and you’re EPIC and AWESOME yourself.
love . . . Love . . . LOVE it Danie!!! You are creating exactly what I've been envisioning for my sewing/craft studio space (ex-living room!)
I love that you and your husband work together. Such a wonderful couple.
Not married.
WOW!!!! Freakin' awesome!! And yeah, typical passive aggressive dude comment. Ah the joys of a long-term relationship. ;)
Wow I lOVE the ceiling!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the way you and Jeff built in the book cases you are so amazingly talented. I have a drop ceiling in my family room in our downstairs. It makes me want to rip it out I would just see pvc pipes and wires as well. But after seeing your office part one it would be ok! I love that look. I can't wait to see how you finished it. I love watching your old video's!!!!!!!!!
If you do a Q&A, I'm curious how you personally get through creative slumps? I'm always inspired & excited when I see you post, but I can't just have your videos on 24/7 :P I know that people say 'change your environment', but I'm in a position that, due to my health, I cannot go far from my home-which is in a very rural area.
what, no flower watering montage?!
Omg Danie, what do you mean hate it? I LOVE IT. The built in bookcase, that is not just a regular bookcase, it's an art piece and the ceiling, I love it, I am lost for words in describing how much I love it. I can't wait for part 2. This part was really really good, part two is going to be even better. Sending you a big hug, get some rest, get ready for your next DIY. ❤😜😋
This is amazing!! I've done a paint job in the same style as you did here with the bookcases (and I cut up the shelves to make them random heights and shapes) but I'm totally gonna do those arches on them as well! Maybe with the whole shelves including the toppers, our living room is already quite busy. And them I'm gonna put arches on everything! Coffee table! Work table! TV! Toilet!
This is your most amazing transformation ever and it's not even done! Love the built in bookcase, it looks kinda boho or Moroccan-inspired, but still works with the farmhouse theme! Love the exposed beam s as well, I'm aware others have quibbled that they're "floor joists" but who cares, what's the difference, it's a similar look and looks very unique and farmhouse/industrial,and goes great with your farmhouse theme!
You have redone the office and your studio room and the she-shack…. Does Geoffrey/Jeffrey (??) your lovely partner, have a room for himself that you guys will be DIY-ing? I’d love to see that.
I. Love. The. Ceiling.
I don’t care if they’re technically floor joists, it adds some beautiful warmth and rusticity to your home.
ROFL! I'm only a minute in and I'm laughing so hard. You're really fun and funny AND I always learn a lot. TY for your hard work and btw, I am IN LOVE with the floral mural you painted on your peg board (was totally blown away by that episode).
I just did a full wall of built-in bookcases out of IKEA Billy bookcases too!! I used trim molding to cover the seams where the bookcases meet as well as along the top and bottom. But, now I wish I'd thought of using MDF! What a fantastic idea!!
