First of all Dan is super buff Dan now ( and I mean that in the most respectful way). Secondly, the skill level is amazing, this looks like it was done by professionals!! Top Tier work and congrats Amie, this space is stunning!!
Dan is just the perfect husband! Well done Amy you bagged a good one!
Agreed good on ya Dan
Wow he did such a great job! The room looks stunning, dream team!
I know, I was so impressed haha! I didn't really know how it was going to look at the end but he did so good!
I am so impressed on how its so professionally done! Good job to both of you 👏👏
Oh thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so happy you enjoyed my video!!
Dan did such an amazing job! A real handy husband
Dan is the man!!! The space looks amazing 🤩
Amie and dan = you guys are such a great team! So admirable!
Haha I think he would object to the team effort implied here! 😂 He definitely did a great job though! 😍
Love everything you/Dan did in the room. I think if the curtain rods were raised to the ceiling with longer drapes,it would make that wall look longer and matched the vibe really well with the awesome shelving that goes from floor to ceiling as well ! Either way, looks so good, love the vid 😍
Very obedient boyfriend 😂 He did an amazing job! “I should have asked you first what you really wanted” - every man should watch this video and learn!
Well done guys, looks beautiful xx
I love that Dan really explained stuff and told us all the cheats he's learned from previously doing it. Why does Dan not have a DIY channel? You guys have really been hitting the gym! I can't imagine the amount of food Dan must be putting away now lol. You know the old saying..............A couple that work out and DIY together, stay together lol. Thanks so much for the great video - both of you xxx
What a handy husband you have! He’s causing trouble for other husbands by being so good at fixing up your dressing room. I am totally going to show this to my soon to be retired husband. His “honey do” list is getting long.
It looks absolutely amazing!! So much work but so worth it!😊
Is Dan a carpenter? If he isn’t, how did he do that? Wooowww, he’s so talented!! Lovely room🥰
The room looks very much done by a wardrobe professional. You have a wonderful husband. Like Dan my husband did so many upgrades to our home from watching you tube😄. Saved a lot of money. IKEA products are great. Thanks for sharing with us.
Love the customization made it look built in I'm inspired thanks for sharing
I have been waiting for this. Will definitely be an inspiration once we build our next house.
Dan is such a pro! Great work! My husband is taking notes ;)
Beautiful, Amie! ❤️❤️❤️ it’s awesome to have your own handyman at home. 😁 My husband built my walk in closet and gym after my 3rd baby. It’s amazing! I don’t have to leave my house and drive to gym anymore. Pure bliss! 🥰🥰🥰 Enjoy it, Amie! You two are a beautiful couple! 💐❤️
Where are your clothes ⁉️. Just see masses of shoes and bags. Wow
Love the finished product. Get you a man like Dan
Excellent job! Your hubby is so handy! Closet looks great!
Ahh thank you!! :D
I wish I had a handyman hubby like Dan 😩
Hi Amy I'm interested to know where or how do u keep your clothes??😊 Room looks nice good to have hubby on deck 💅🏾🎀
I have a question not exactly related to this video but about your corporate career/journey. You seem like a kind person overall so my question is how did you survive the corporate world as a kind person? I'm finding that as someone who tries to be kind, people will take advantage of you, do or say certain things to you and think it will be ok because you're 'nice', spread rumors that aren't true out of jealously etc. Just a suggestion, could you create a video on your corporate journey if you've dealt with issues like this or maybe tips on handling workplace politics, jealously, gossip, etc? Thank you and by the way you have the lifestyle that I aspire to have one day!!
I love your closet. I tried getting a white IKEA Pax closet for mine, but IKEA North America isn't able to stock the smaller white unites until May 2023. I'm hoping they come in sooner, I need my closet like yesterday! lol
Amazing Dan! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Congrats Amie, you won the whole package! ☺️
He did a fantastic job!
He really did!
Absolutely gorgeous, what a fantastic job Dan did!
-- I don’t understand - why wasn’t there a door on the bathroom in the first place?
Hi amie where is your dressing table from and the circular pouffe seat in the middle of the room? Looks amazing well done Dan!
The door makes a huge difference, who wants to look at a toilet that is so prominent.
Yay! Thanks for sharing a dedicated video on the closet ☺️
Oh my goodness, is that a malamute in your pic? SO cute!
Looks beautiful. Can I ask which height you went for for the pax units?
Looks great! Amie I wanted to ask if you still had the Saint Laurent Kate Tassel Bag and if you had any issues with oxidation on the tassel?
Thank you for sharing the process! I love the result and this is great inspiration!
Hi Amie, what’s the brand of your mirror? It looks stunning
His sweat equity is the equivalent of a Birkin bag! Bravo Dan!
You guys did a really good job with the room!
What do you use in your knee high boots to keep them standing? Your closet looks gorgeous.
Looks beautiful! Great job!!!
I like the Q&A, you have potential to be a good reporter / talk show host :)
Dan did a great job. Looks professional. Really nice.
It looks wonderful. Really expensive (at least on screen).
There appears to be a shortage of everything everywhere!!! I am surprised that the UK authorities didn't recognise the urgency of your situation and give you exemptions. ;)
Looks amazing! Do you ever find it annoying having your clothes and shoes & bags in separate rooms?
@chaseamie what is your opinion on the recent Chanel price increase?
I really enjoyed this video. Well done Dan!
Room looks great 👍.
lol I loved how you roped Dan in providing the details for the description box. 😄
On another note: Brexit . how "great" did that turn out to be
Amie! Need your opinion, wanting to get myself a 30th birthday present, interested in the Chloe woody tote and the Gucci Diana mini, what would you pick?
I thought the system for your clothes and shoes Are in the same room. Both Looks great ✌️
We thought about joining the rooms but thought it would likely devalue the house so decided against it in the end :)
Amazing 🤩 Now got to build up the confidence to actually have a go after watching all your videos!! Thank you so much for sharing all the details it really helps 💝 xoxoxo
a hot and handy husband. Amie, you are so lucky.
Omg…. Your hubby is really superb and so sweet! Thats so so so much effort….. really saved so much money by doing diy customisation!
It looks amazing. Dan is so clever. Thanks for doing this video in such detail. I would like to do something similar in my house in a few years. I have a nice big laundry with one empty wall and I want to put in shelves to house my kitchen toys and the general overflow from the kitchen, which doesn’t have as much storage space as I would like.
Looks fantastic. I wish I had a partner who was as handy as Dan!! Question, do you have two closet rooms? This one and the other for clothes? Could you walk us though both at some point and how you go back between the two? Yo must have a lot of rooms!
Didn't know you bought the mini Alexa in tan too
Amazing job!! Applause!!
What a lovely husband? Made his wife a dream dressing room. You are a lucky lady Amie. 😍😍😍
Congratulations on your new closet. Do you know what color paint he used to paint the moldings to match the ikea white? I find it difficult to find or even have a place custom paint to get it to match.
I’m seriously impressed. This would be how Heaven would look like to me HahHaha.
Hi. How do you store your handbags?
It turned out amazing!🥰 Can’t wait to see the proces. We bought a new house recently so the timing is perfect
Aw congratulations!! I hope the move wasn't too stressful!
Thanks Amie for this video, very useful. I always wondered about these shelves. Dan was very clean and explained very nicely with all the details a layman would need. ❤️
Does Dan have a YT channel teaching how to do all these things? Cause I really need to learn 😍😍😍
I started to think Dan sounds a lot like Daniel Radcliffe and now I can't get it out of my head🤣
Dan did a wonderful job explaining how he created the wall panels and the shelves. The room looks fantastic.
This is sooo amazing. I‘ve always liked your dressing rooms in the past but this one… WOW🤩!
My compliments to both of you, every place you live is beautifully decorated and comfortable.
I adore Dan😍
your lucky to have a good handy man!
It's so so nice and thank Dan for explaining how he did. I'm definitely going to do this. Love all of it!
So good!! Dan did a great detailed explanation and was so comfortable describing his work. Obviously he has a lot of carpentry talent. I think we all enjoy how to make over the counter shelving into a custom fit! Really inspiring.
Wow!!! Beautiful finishing
Dan did such an amazing job!! Nice work!
Watched this last week - what a great job Dan did making this room look so professional.
