So happy you decided to try and asked Dani to DIY your table instead of getting rid of it! This is such a great lesson in looking at what we have in a new way instead of buying something 💕
love how this do-over slipped so seamlessly into their Victorian home. You felt their vibe, the house's vibe, the piece's vibe and brought it all home.
I just found your channel early this month and I’m obsessed. I binged your entire home series and I love your evolving style and aesthetic. I also appreciate how open and transparent you have been about your mental health along the way. I used to love hgtv but got sick of the monotony of it all, all the shows merge into one now. But Danie, you put a new face and breath new life into the home diy genre. You’ve reignited my passion for it also. ❤
You knocked it out of the park, Danie. Go you! Love seeing the incorporation of turned feet, and the stain on the walnut is lovely. Adore seeing the mix of black and brown. Also, enjoyed what appeared to be a violet-toned grey on the tips of your fingers. 🖤🤎🧡🤎🖤
I love it. I used to upcycle furniture regularly years ago but gave it up due to physical health issues - I sold all of my back stock but still have loads of hardware, legs/feet, pulls knobs etc, as well as my tools. We recently renovated our house and I’ve decided to make over some of our existing furniture to better fit our new style. 8 pieces in total, plus a wall length desk to build for my office/craft/sewing room using original pedestal bases from a large vintage desk. I just need to find my mojo - this vid definitely set off some inspiration tingles for me ❤
❤❤❤ Holy Toledo Batman! Danie, your creative genius shines today on this furniture transformation! WOOW! That final wax, that vintage hardware, those stunning legs, the coup de gras was the Walnut drawer fronts! BTW, love the tent setup, Kenobi seems to approve 👍 and your haircut is absolutely stunning on you! I do miss your lavender hair from the old days😢 your new table saw has taken you to another level of DIYing!❤❤❤ Congratulations on another successful makeover! Keep on DIYing!
Every single time I see someone paint their furniture black, all I can think about is what a pain it would be to strip the paint if the reality didn't match the vision. But I feel that way because people take shortcuts and don't sand or prime, so that's why their piece looks awful and ends up in the dumpster or thrift store. SOOOO happy to see how beautiful your piece turned out, Danie. Your creative instincts were spot on!
It's BEAUTIFUL!!! 🤩🤩🤩 It doesn't look like an ikea piece anymore, incredible! When you said the style of that house is your dream and that she has mismatched rooms I thought... How cool would it be if you could revamp all her rooms taking the style from the formal livingroom at the entrance for example. It would turn out stunning! 😍
That little router bit made a huge difference. I absolutely agree with the hardware choice for the drawers. Those are so much easier to grab with your pinky, when you've got keys, or glasses, or your phone in your hand. They look better, too!
I always like the colors you do your hair but I think this is truly the best one so far. It just makes your face look so fresh and lovely. Love the project to.
Feel like so many people with similar pieces are going to be so inspired by this. Love a good upcycle. Let’s try to love what we have and stop buying new
It's gorgeous Danni!!! I love how it goes with the stairs and the existing hall furniture - it has brought everything together. And the colour is so rich...and the hardware...and the feet... Love it!!! ❤️💝👍👏😘
OK, a couple of things! (I’m sorry I don’t always comment, so catching up) 1-LOVE your hair! Cut, color, straight or curly…LOVE IT! I did always like the lavender color, but, coming from someone who went all in with my grey, being “all natural” can be very empowering! 2-So excited for your new build! Can’t wait to see the shop and studio come together! 3-This video’s furniture flip is AMAZING! 4-You ALWAYS brighten my Saturdays! Even if you need to “get real with us” about how your feeling, you are still encouraging and hopeful! ❤️❤️❤️
Danie, I love your tiny ponytail. That short haircut looks great on you. I love the way this piece turned out. It’s my fav love it or thrift it piece yet.
I haven't watched the video yet but just wanted to say how cute your hair is looking! 😁 You are so creative! How could you be nervous that she wouldn't love it? Perfection!!
Loved this furniture upgrade. The size of the piece did fit the area so well, but the style was a bit awkward. Danie really gave the piece new life and it is awkward no more! Gorgeous transformation. Side note - Kudos to the music selection throughout. It was a bonus to an already enjoyable vid.
I didn't think I would notice a difference with the black wax but I did! It was exactly what the piece needed and now I'm wanting to use it on my furniture! I maybe should finally paint my kitchen table black and use this wax on it. Gorgeous transformation.
What a diff the paint, knobs, legs and little facing pieces made. Even if somebbody didn't have your skill with tools, they could do that and make a huge difference in the appearance of the piece. Love how it turned out- lovely
I've been watching your videos for years and I've always loved them, you've shared your mistakes, your processes, your wins, and it's so inspiring to see women doing cool things and also being themselves. This video feels like the culmination of everything you've learned, tried, figured out, and it's just full of amazing confidence and I love that for you. Keep on smashing it, you're awesome!
Wasn't sure about the walnut when Danie mentioned it in the planning stage, but Good Lord, she's a pretty one! Just needed to be reminded to trust the process...Beautiful job x
I do not like shaker doors, but never thought about a tiny trim added. Sweet! I have passed over functional furniture that I could have shifted. Light bulb! I have two dressers in my store room, well built and functional. Duh. Yours turned out perfect for her home!
I love watching this series and seeing your channel evolve. From working in your studio to tackling larger projects like this, the joy and dedication you put into pieces clearly shows. ☺️
You did it again! The furniture designs that you flip used pieces into are great. I flipped pieces when I started my vintage shop about 10 years ago. Still, I learn so much about how to do more. Because of you, I am no longer afraid to build drawers.
Every time Danie pulls out the next thing she’s gonna do to this piece I’m like OH yes that’s gonna look so good and then it DOES.. this transformation is really serving
I am sooo glad you found different pull handles for the draws the ones with the keyhole were just not doing it for me at all. The wax coat made all the difference to the whole unit was not sure but the painted look felt flat but once you put in the wax it was the missing piece to the puzzle.👍🏽👍🏽🤗🤗🤗
I did similar w my melamine kitchen cabinet doors: "cabinet rescue" acrylic paint tinted celery-green with buffed wax finish -- love it, and cleans beautifully with a vinegar/detergent/water spray.
Thanks for that info; been wondering how using a buffed wax finish would work in a kitchen with all the grease, smoke, etc. Would the wax absorb these, along with the splatters and smells? Would it melt/soften from the heat (from stove/oven)? It is a lot of work for this process not work or hold up. Did you use Annie Sloan's wax? I know it is the most popular/known. Meg, I appreciate your input - thanking you in advance. Enjoy your day and have a safe, fun and fan-tab-ulos weekend!!
I love the blue-black, it really adds to the piece. I agree with your hardware choice, a keyhole without an actual lock was kind of bugging me. I think the clean lines are better too. Good work Danie, this one is really nice.
Just wow! I’m particularly interested in your black wax and you were right, the hardware that you finally chose is better. I also like the contrast between the wood and the black color.
Your haircut looks amazing! Absolutely love what you did. I would never had known this was a ikea peice in its former life. Drawer hardware, I like the second option but I would have liked a pair on each front.
The black paint with black wax was just *chef’s kiss* but I am firmly in the talking to my phone saying nooooo when you swapped those gorgeous antique drawer pulls. The new ones were so tiny on the drawer face and didn’t work with the knobs as well. Too shiny. And as an elder Millennial with back issues, the low knobs would destroy my back and I’d have to move them higher to be more functional. Overall the piece is lovely and I’m sure it’ll be a workhorse in that entry for years to come.
😂 believe it or not, they are scrubbed clean! They need to be stripped and repainted so badly of 150 years of paint layers! Just another thing on the never-ending list of jobs in this gorgeous old house. Lol
@@joannamills145 and owning house IS nothing but never ending projects! And I keep creating new ones! I have an idea, then once executed, it is maybe good for a month, then I change my mind, because I have a "better" idea! I live in perpetual chaos!! Your home is beautiful, Joanna! I love the beauty of the Victorian style with some modern touches. The architect is just gorgeous!! The new entryway cabinet - so beautiful! Love the color and the walnut - goodness! It elevated the piece so much. It truly fits now! I thought, if she didn't want, I would take it!! Enjoy your day and have a safe, fun and fan-tab-ulos weekend!!
Beautiful transformation! You took a piece that looked like it belonged in a cottage and changed it to a beautiful entryway statement. Definitely think the first choice of hardware wasn't "rich" enough for your new cabinet or the mirror above it, but the second set is great. Love that they both loved it and won't be thrifting it. (Has anyone tried to make a profit by selling an origina "DIY Danie" piece?) Love your haircut! So versatile!
Danie, we are still loving this piece and we get so many compliments on it! THANK YOU for helping us love this table again! ❤❤❤❤❤
That Danie she just has that talent so see a pice come to life ❤ it really made your entry way all come together ❤❤❤
So happy you decided to try and asked Dani to DIY your table instead of getting rid of it! This is such a great lesson in looking at what we have in a new way instead of buying something 💕
This is such a great piece! It’s absolutely perfect now! You’re so lucky!
The piece is just stunning! It finishes off your entry way beautifully. I also love your old door coat hanger by your front door. 😍 Great taste. ❤️
I love the wax idea...could you do this on trim? We have a trimmed out grid wall
love how this do-over slipped so seamlessly into their Victorian home. You felt their vibe, the house's vibe, the piece's vibe and brought it all home.
ahh THANK YOU! It looked SO GOOD!
Spoiler!!
5 seconds in and I am like "wow, Danie, your hair is awesome!!"
Thank you!

Welcome. Danie is the best!
She’s definitely fabulous I love her
Lovely
Tyyyyyyy
Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
The short hair is so cute, I love it when you just have your natural texture too!
You knocked it out of the park, Danie. Go you! Love seeing the incorporation of turned feet, and the stain on the walnut is lovely. Adore seeing the mix of black and brown. Also, enjoyed what appeared to be a violet-toned grey on the tips of your fingers.
🖤🤎🧡🤎🖤
I think I speak on behalf of everyone here when I say... OMG Danie,excellent work!! You are amazing,we admire you and your work so much. 👏💖
THANK YOU! That means the world xo
Absolutely beautiful
I love these ‘Love it or Thrift it ‘ episodes
You certainly got your grove back , girl

i'm so glad you have a tablesaw finally! saw stop is LEGIT that's when you know you've made it as a DIYer
Love it! Now she needs to paint the two chests across from this piece to match.
The more I watch your videos, the more I'm convinced you're the best DIYer on TH-cam. How you don't have 1M subs yet is beyond me.
I'm trying! haha
Dani!!!! I am still obsessed with your haircut. It’s stunning on you. I don’t think everyone can pull this cut off, but it’s amazing on you.
It's BEAUTIFUL!!! 🤩🤩🤩 It doesn't look like an ikea piece anymore, incredible!

That is one functional and beautiful piece
While I loved the first pulls, the second ones were exactly right for this piece. Your sense of what will elevate the piece was spot on!!
I always like the colors you do your hair but I think this is truly the best one so far. It just makes your face look so fresh and lovely. Love the project to.
This is my natural hair colour haha
Danie this looks incredible! I know we are strangers tuning in to watch but you seem good and that is awesome.
Feel like so many people with similar pieces are going to be so inspired by this. Love a good upcycle. Let’s try to love what we have and stop buying new
It's gorgeous Danni!!! I love how it goes with the stairs and the existing hall furniture - it has brought everything together. And the colour is so rich...and the hardware...and the feet... Love it!!! ❤️💝👍👏😘
You have stepped up your drawer game so much. I love the routing you did on the walnut front.
It's certainly improvement!

Coffee, DIY Danie =perfect Saturday morning!
Not sure if anyone mentioned it but, i ❤ your hair!!
That "Kenobiiiiiii" 😂😂 Clone Wars forever ❤️
Love, love the over lay editing.
Loved this furniture upgrade. The size of the piece did fit the area so well, but the style was a bit awkward. Danie really gave the piece new life and it is awkward no more! Gorgeous transformation. Side note - Kudos to the music selection throughout. It was a bonus to an already enjoyable vid.
Danny this is gorgeous, you've mixed modern with vintage effortlessly 😍 👌 spot on girl ❤❤❤
Handles instead of the knobs - YESSIREEBOB!!
I just have to say- the wavy curls are to do die for! You are rocking this new haircut.
This house needs a makeover!!! The possibilities
That wax seal gave such depth to the paint! And you're glowingly beautiful.
You look so young and perky with your haircut! Love it along with your fabulous makeover!
I totally agree with your hardware choice. The key hole one is nice but on this console, the one you chose is much more sophisticated.
I love it !
I didn't think I would notice a difference with the black wax but I did! It was exactly what the piece needed and now I'm wanting to use it on my furniture! I maybe should finally paint my kitchen table black and use this wax on it. Gorgeous transformation.
Ahhhhh .... that buttery waxed finish is absolutely delicious!
I wish i lived in Canada so Dani can come to my house
I miss seeing you do over other people's pieces or spaces. You're so talented at it!
The walnut added a beautiful touch!
What a diff the paint, knobs, legs and little facing pieces made. Even if somebbody didn't have your skill with tools, they could do that and make a huge difference in the appearance of the piece. Love how it turned out- lovely

Light bulb! I have two dressers in my store room, well built and functional. Duh.
Yours turned out perfect for her home!
The second set of hardware matches the mirror and stairway better. Stunning piece. It's a keeper
I was shouting if they don't love I will. Danie stunning job.🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Not only did you do an amazing flip, your hair looks so dang cute this whole episode! ❤
I love watching this series and seeing your channel evolve. From working in your studio to tackling larger projects like this, the joy and dedication you put into pieces clearly shows. ☺️
Danie, you hit it out of the park once again!
You did it again! The furniture designs that you flip used pieces into are great. I flipped pieces when I started my vintage shop about 10 years ago. Still, I learn so much about how to do more. Because of you, I am no longer afraid to build drawers.
29:55 OMG Danie!!!! ❤❤❤ Absolutely beautiful! Now I want to buy this piece and do what you did ❤️😘🇨🇦
Great choice with the Rockwool insulation! 😁 The only Canadian factory is in my small town - it’s the best stuff!
Love the new hair. You are so stinkin’ cute.
Fabulous transformation! I love these Love it or Thrift it videos almost as much as the Can We make it for Cheaper? videos. ❤
I love those two series too!
Dani....you knocked it out of the ole ballpark yet again!!!! Absolutely gorgeous flip!! Ohhhh.....and I love your new hair do!!
Every time Danie pulls out the next thing she’s gonna do to this piece I’m like OH yes that’s gonna look so good and then it DOES.. this transformation is really serving

Wax on paint really does something subtle but so wonderful.
I love the blue-black, it really adds to the piece. I agree with your hardware choice, a keyhole without an actual lock was kind of bugging me. I think the clean lines are better too. Good work Danie, this one is really nice.
Excellent job of giving them exactly what they wanted. You really hit it out of the ballpark on this one
Just wow! I’m particularly interested in your black wax and you were right, the hardware that you finally chose is better. I also like the contrast between the wood and the black color.
Yay! New vid!!! LOVE IT!
You hair looks cute!
PS, Definitely the New hardware!
Danie,
You were right with the second choice of the antique brass handles! As always, love your creations!
I also liked the second choice of the hardware. The others looked a little too busy. Lovely job.
mornin’ ❤Kenobi!
Morning Joyce! Happy Saturday to youuuuuuuu xx
I think this is my favorite LIOTI item you've done so far. Stunning. Stun. Ing. 🎉
One of my favorite DIYs you’ve done so far!! Can’t believe this is the same piece 😮
Every decision you made in the transformation of this piece was spot on!! It's gorgeous!!
Girl, you totally knocked it out of the park!!!
✌️&❤
love, love, love it! I was so glad to see your energy and smile back. Your talent and skill are amazing.

Very nice fixer upper. Her vision was perfectly interpreted by you. I still like the other pulls, lol!
That straight Bob look is sooo chic on you
The table is so beautiful I love the wood tone with the black
Excellent! Thank YOU!✌🏼💙👊🏼
Gotta say, though, Your Energy is SO amazing in this video.. HAPPY to see it!
& Your HAIR..😍
Bless You in *ALL* You do!💫😊💫
As always- you have elevated an out of date piece. Perfection and chefs kiss ❤❤❤❤❤
Love it! Also, Danie the new hairstyle is soooo you!
Love your new haircut!
Wonderful what you did for this piece of furniture.
You rock, Lady! ❤
You have all the tools I dream of!
So stunning!!! Also if I could make a request, Josh is a cutie patootie and I'd really love to see more of him😊
Oh Em Gee!!! Danie! That is STUNNING! Best IKEA Hack EVER!!!!!
The makeover is FABULOUS 🖤💙🤎💛
Danie I Just wanted to day I love your joyfull videos. They are really comforting ❤ Thank you and keeps doing what you do
New hardware looks so much better! Way to go!❤❤❤❤
Her baseboards need a good cleaning though 😂
😂 believe it or not, they are scrubbed clean! They need to be stripped and repainted so badly of 150 years of paint layers! Just another thing on the never-ending list of jobs in this gorgeous old house. Lol

Oh I love it! If they were going to thrift it I totally would’ve been stalking the thrift stores everywhere near them to find it😂 Great job!
Hardly even recognized the piece! Beautiful work!🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Really beautiful! And, so nice to see it refinished well (cleaning, sanding, priming, painting, sealing.)
Amazing eye for design. Love watching you go through your design planning..
Wow...this piece is absolutely gorgeous
