Haven't watched the makeover yet buuuuuuttt HUGE congrats on the new garage/DIY studio....it's something you've worked hard for and will make a huge difference to your work- just make sure you have stairs that are 'easily' manouverable/add a winch out the window for big projects 😂😂 P.s really doesn't matter that the cabinet was reproduction rather than vintage as it turned out beautifully😊
@@DIYDanie I was thinking that would've made sense because hauling material up and projects down seems problematic. If no freight elevator, how will you handle big projects? Love the bookcase! I think you're brilliant and can't wait to see what you come up with next! XO ❤️
Hi @DIY Danie! Just wanted to flag that Established Titles has been debated and proven for a while to be a scam, meaning that no land ownership is actually legally recognized by Scotland, and taking this sponsorship might be a bit ethically tricky. Figured I'd raise the concern, in case others were considering purchasing from them.
Congratulations on the wedding and the new build! I'm so excited to see it come together. One question, how will you manage to carry big and heavy items up to the upstairs workspace or downstairs after having built it?
My lady, thank you for the delightful thrift. Being a novice myself, it's always thrilling to see a master sensei at work. Lovely as always. Also, I hath checked thine budget after my Christmas gifts and bought this as a Christmas gift to myself. So there is another lady as well... Though it will be bittersweet to see the old workshop I'm used to seeing in videos go, will be glad to see you get into a space that will work for you in all seasons... Ta ta for now, and in case I don't get to post as often when I watch your videos due to work obligations: Happy Thanksgiving and a merry Christmas....
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Yay!!!! I’m so happy for you & your future workshop plans!! It’s the dream, for sure. I hope you are blessed big all the way through the process!
When I seen the close up of the white wash I thought you ruined it. Until you zoomed out and showed it and I was like oh wow! This is why you trust the process haha
It is a nice piece, and you did a fab job on it. But me personally I liked the original stain of the piece but that is just me. You always knock it out of the park.👍
Exciting news about the new garage, Danie! Are you and Geoff going to build it yourselves? Huge project, eh? 😊 Love the thrift flip! It looks gorgeous!! ♥ I thought it looked pretty good before you flipped it, but man! The after looks so much better. You are amazing! ♥♥♥
6:56 I had to go back and replay that!! Congratulations!! I knew you said you were getting married this month, but I didn't know when. I'm super happy for you! (Edit: the thrift flip turned out beautifully! & I can't wait for the garage to happen!)
I've been intentionally trying to find beautiful dark stain furniture like this case for my house, but everything on fb market place these days have been painted horribly and put up with a triple digit price tag. I do have to say though you have done a nice job making it lighter.
You never disappoint... It's a beautiful piece. It will be such a useful and beautiful piece in your art studio. Which makes it perfect. Ty for sharing...
I love how that turned out! And I can't wait to see your garage build - Congratulations! I have a large pole barn that full of "stuff" that I would LOVE to turn into a workshop!
It’s stunning!! May I suggest putting a layer or two of polyurethane on the shelves over the Mod Podge? It’ll made the shelf less tacky with weather changes and won’t yellow over time. Books will slide in and out much smoother, too.
You might want to think of a "garage door" on the second level as if you are building bigger things, you need more materials. Of course, that means either a boom lift to bring things up, OR, a simple block & tackle winch - see old barns. They had an "I beam" with winch on the end. You can move very heavy things with a properly set up block & tackle. P.s. normally if you have a large load, you have 3 people present. One using the chain fall to lift object, one on second floor with rope to guide object and third person on ground to steady items. Do not do on a windy day ! The pyramids were built without machines, planning is key !
Odd one maybe... but don't forget to add a toilet in your new build! There would be nothing worse than walking out to your house in the middle of winter just to have a pee after that second coffee!
Could you do a colab with Simone Giertz on your new space to build a hand operating freight elevator? I bet she could do it- she has so many good connections too! Like just a biggish dumb waiter with cool exposed steam punk style gears and a captains wheel to raise and lower
nice flip! Looks wonderful! And congrats on the new garage/DIY studio 🤩 is there room for a kind of elevator for the pieces you want to flip/work on? It will be difficult to get them up and down!
So excited about the new work space you guys will be building!! Great news. The flip looks amazing. Oh, and weren't you covering the ezee off with plastic wrap the last time you did it (your mom was there too)? I think you have to cover ezee off, so it stays wet longer and I also think it somehow gets stronger. Anyhoo, beautiful flip. 💫
Beautiful as usual M’Lady! Some questions for you though as I’m kind of doing something similar and scouring ideas….1)did you finish final wood with poly or wax? And 2) how does paper with Madge pudge hold up over time and use on shelves? I have done this before on backing but never on shelves for fear of wear over time.
The one in my bathroom is still holding VERY STRONG. I would suggest a layer on the bottom and top of the paper to give it a good seal. I did not put a sealer on this cabinet. 1) it would ruin the colour I wanted and 2) wasn’t really a need for it? People always assume you need a sealer on everything but you don’t. The piece isn’t going to see a lot of traffic once it’s in place, as it’s not a coffee table etc. The painted surface cleans up well, so really it’s up to you if you want a sealer (it’s never a BAD idea) but it doesn’t always need to happen.
1 sq ft* for the plot. I'm thinking about doing it though! Even if not within this time period. With Halloween, Thanksgiving, 3 birthdays, Christmas, presents, New Year, and then Lunar New Year (😅) idk when I can afford it.
So happy your getting a new diy space! But.... upstairs? Please consider a lift of some kind, so you dont have to carry up and down stairs! You use a lot of big pieces, save yourself the pain my friend.
If it’s not already on the plans please add a human door access to the back yard. Waiting for a roll door to open for you to go the back quickly in the winter will drive you crazy and cost you so much heat, I promise. Source: Canadian pilot who had to use roll doors on northern hangers.
Established titles is a scam and I hope you quit the sponsorship! Can’t believe so many Fall for it. Please do your research. I wonder how much they pay the creators…. Jesus….
Wow the amount of work that went into the flip is insane, the cabinet looks nothing like it used to! And congrats to you both for the future garage/studio space, can't wait for the future video about the whole process!
DANI, THE SPONSOR IS A SCAM!!!! Please cancel any contract you have with them asap!! A bunch of UA-camrs have been scammed by Established Titles - they aren’t paying ANYONE!! Everyone please *like* this so Dani sees!! MrBallen posted about it in his community so you can see what I’m talking about
Even for a modern piece $150 is still a pretty good price. Everything is so impossibly expensive right now that if you find something that's the design that you want and looks even mostly solid you gotta jump on that! I love the paper on the shelves and the complimentary color is really nice. I think papering the complete inside would be too much, so just the shelves is the perfect accent.
I thought it was done and you said it was missing something. Once again you were right and I was wrong. You accomplished a white wash just right! ❤️. Exciting news about your new studio space.
Hello, just wanted to chime in with the other commenters and state that Established Titles is a scam and they are selling phony titles that are a novelty item and not actual land ownership. I hope you can edit them out of this video or return the sponsorship money. Love all your work and it’s sad to see this video tainted by a scam.
Great makeover! But plz stop with this "established titles" bs. It is a SCAM. It is NOT a title, it is just a name change. You will not become a Lady or Lord, just change your first name, and you can change your name to lady without chilling out money to scams like this.
That piece is so elevated with your creative remake! Nicely done. And happy that you are building a new garage to use as your studio workshop…awesome news for you (and us 😉) lots of ideas ahead! Stay well
Me living my DIY dreams through Danie. I would love to thrift and flip furniture but don't have the space for it in my lil condo. One day though 😉 Can't wait for the new workshop! ❤️
New garage is so exciting! Did you consider a barn like lift door to your second floor for bringing up large supplies like 4x8 plywood sheets and lowering big finished DIYs?
Just as a warning to be very cautious if you use vinegar to neutralize bleach. Vinegar does in fact neutralize bleach but in the process it makes toxic chlorine gas. Just want my DIY friends to stay safe out there!
The cabinet is magic! I can't wait to see it in your studio space. The news was so exciting you could have jumped out of the video. I am thrilled for the future growth of your designs.
Really disappointed by you supporting Established Titles Danie. I love your content and I have no intention of stepping away from your channel, but I'll be giving this one a miss. From this Scot, please go and do a bit of research before you support them again. They are absolutely not who they say they are.
Love the final look! I am a furniture flipper myself and instead of doing bleach, I would have done a paint wash (some beige paint + water). Thanks for sharing your amazing projects ❤️
Very happy that your studio will get an upgrade, but not gonna lie, when I heard that your studio will be upstairs I worry for you and how many projects you won't be able to do up there considering how many large projects you do and having to haul up and down stairs... I wish you the best but is there an option to add a dumbwaiter or something to send heavy supplies/ projects up and down without having to tackle stairs?
Love the new garage that’s coming. Have you considered moving the stairs to the right to give yourself ample turning room at the top of the stairs landing for long pieces of timber/furniture?
This flip is Phenomenal!! So excited for your new build, I'm happy for you it's going to give you so much more space for your wonderful creative creations. 😁
You had me wondering for a moment - stripping the *veneer* would have completely ruined the piece. I think what you meant was "stripping off the *varnish*"... :-) Very nice result in any case. :thumbsup:
Congratulations, Your Ladyship! You've given the barrister's bookcase a fresh, new look that will add so much to your new studio. I know you will be relieved not to have to clear snow from your car before you can set out each day. Good plan!
You should be sure to put an elevator in the new garage. They make them for garages and we have one. I wish ours was bigger but it has been a great asset. The floor lies flush with the second story floor when the elevator is up and it drops down through the garage ceiling when in use. It is more of a lift than an elevator but you should look into it if you are diying larger pieces on the second floor or even for transporting wood up and down.
Are you going to be able to have a WC/bathroom and a small kitchen in your studio? That would be a nice feature. But in either case, the garage will be a great addition. I’m sure it will be a studio suitable for a Lady. 😊😊😊
Thx Danie for the Established Titles link. I have seen that before and thought about it, my Grandmother's ancestors came from Scotland on one part of her family. I was named after her. Black Friday they are actually having a fab sale and you can get 5ft for a better cost than 1ft. So now, I am a Lady in Scotland and a commoner in America. lol. And I own land with trees. Just fab. Just call it Fabulous Saturday. It shall be proclaimed a new holiday in my five ft kingdom. 11/19/22 Fabulous Saturday. And the cabinet looks fab. Looking forward to your new studio video. This is a Saturday that will go down in infamy. At least for me. In a great way. 👑
Sunday for me, but same, just got my plot which has trees but is by something that looks like a oval mountain or possible giant mountain troll... Anyways, howdy neighbor from another commoner in the South, but a lady in Scotland.
The actual transformation starts at 8:20---beautiful end result. Very unique and interesting! I would love to have this cabinet in my house (have hundreds of paperbooks 🙄☺)
Haven't watched the makeover yet buuuuuuttt HUGE congrats on the new garage/DIY studio....it's something you've worked hard for and will make a huge difference to your work- just make sure you have stairs that are 'easily' manouverable/add a winch out the window for big projects 😂😂
P.s really doesn't matter that the cabinet was reproduction rather than vintage as it turned out beautifully😊
🤣🤣🤣 I asked for a big freight elevator but that was a logistical nightmare haha
@@DIYDanie I was thinking that would've made sense because hauling material up and projects down seems problematic. If no freight elevator, how will you handle big projects? Love the bookcase! I think you're brilliant and can't wait to see what you come up with next! XO ❤️
Loved the piece. The paper you added was beautiful. Whitewashing at the end made all the difference and heightened the look. Turned out fabulous.
Hi @DIY Danie! Just wanted to flag that Established Titles has been debated and proven for a while to be a scam, meaning that no land ownership is actually legally recognized by Scotland, and taking this sponsorship might be a bit ethically tricky.

First thing o thought too.
Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous!!!
Beautiful. I have a dresser I want to do this on.
So glad you white-washed it! Looks awesome! 👍💙✌️
I absolutely love this piece, and I didn't know I needed one until I saw your video!
Good choice with the whitewashing! Really made the piece shine.
My lady, thank you for the delightful thrift. Being a novice myself, it's always thrilling to see a master sensei at work. Lovely as always.

STUNNING!!!
Love the charcoal jumpsuit you are wearing in the intro. It looks amazing on you.
The cabinet looks perfect against the pink wallpaper. The two colours really complement each other.
Great news! You and Jeffery are filled with exciting news this year. Happy for you both.
When I seen the close up of the white wash I thought you ruined it. Until you zoomed out and showed it and I was like oh wow! This is why you trust the process haha
The cabinet look beautiful I love the wallpaper in the cabinet shelf , I love😍
Uber nice outcome ❣️
This is beautiful Danie! You turn it into something so beautiful! I love it.
I can't believe that was originally from Costco. Great job
Dani I swear you have the Midas touch! It’s beautiful. Love the paper❤
It is a nice piece, and you did a fab job on it. But me personally I liked the original stain of the piece but that is just me. You always knock it out of the park.👍
Gorgeous!
It looks amazing
Love it. Clean, warm, bright, and USEFUL!!
Wow! Looking forward to the garage build. Rad job on the bookcase. Love the transformation.
Putting in some sort of lift to get bigger projects up and down from the Studio?
Exciting news about the new garage, Danie! Are you and Geoff going to build it yourselves? Huge project, eh? 😊
Love the thrift flip! It looks gorgeous!! ♥ I thought it looked pretty good before you flipped it, but man! The after looks so much better. You are amazing! ♥♥♥
Exciting news .... it will be amazing!! Thanks for the sneak peek wedding photos ... beautiful! Can't wait to see more!
6:56 I had to go back and replay that!! Congratulations!! I knew you said you were getting married this month, but I didn't know when. I'm super happy for you!
(Edit: the thrift flip turned out beautifully! & I can't wait for the garage to happen!)
It's beautiful! Congratulations on your upcoming build! You need that workspace!
Danie love it. 🤌👍👌🌟🌟🌟

Im so excited for you, finally getting your dream diy space 😊

Yessss!! We are doing the same, but I am attaching a greenhouse/ solarium 🥰😍
Looks great! I have a barristers cabinet (from the 40’s I believe) and it is one of my favourite pieces of furniture!
Love the new garage plans for you!!!!!!!!!!

Ooooooh, gorgeous paper,,,, ahhhhhh, white washed wood. ♥️
I love it!😍 my type of dream bookcase!
Odd one maybe... but don't forget to add a toilet in your new build! There would be nothing worse than walking out to your house in the middle of winter just to have a pee after that second coffee!
I love it!!! It turned out so beautiful! And that store is 😍😍😍!
You litterally never surprise me 😂 everything you touch becomes prettier than ever. 🌷🌈
You are incredibly talented! I enjoy all your videos so much and continue to be amazed by you!
OOoooo, I have a real barrister and it is an antique.
Why did you not cover the floor? congratulation on your new garage build.
This flip is great love it. Also can u post more wedding photos 🙏🏻😊
Wonderful
Amazing!! ❤️
Could you do a colab with Simone Giertz on your new space to build a hand operating freight elevator? I bet she could do it- she has so many good connections too! Like just a biggish dumb waiter with cool exposed steam punk style gears and a captains wheel to raise and lower
Really wish I had kept the barrister cabinets my in-laws had in their front entry way!

Morning Joyce! Happy Saturday to you! ☀️
I was wondering where your friend Jess is. I liked her.

Oooh I’m so jelly lol. You so deserve this heck you need it. It will UP your game lol sorry.
Wow the amount of work that went into the flip is insane, the cabinet looks nothing like it used to!
And congrats to you both for the future garage/studio space, can't wait for the future video about the whole process!

wait, you are going to schlepp every furniture piece and wood up the stairs to work on them? Hope that will work well
