only a sister could say "looks like a dollar tree frame" 🤣 You too are the best. Great video.
When I was in jr high, something went wrong with our antenna wire so we got no more TV channels. We could only watch VHS tapes. My dad refused to fix it and it very much changed our lives. We ate dinner around the table together every night, we played basketball at the barn, we rode horses until dark we played instruments and sang as a family. After dark, we sat in the living room and visited for a couple of hours as a family. At first my friends felt sorry for me but after a while, they all admitted that they wished they could sit and just visit with their dad and spend time with their mom and that they got a long with their siblings. It was a true blessing…
The office looks awesome! I'm personally thankful for the staining "mishap"- I tend to try to make all wood tones match perfectly and it's so nice to see a visual reminder that mixed tones and contrast is beautiful AND adds a lot to the space!
I think the dark is beautiful! Honestly when the video first started, before I knew you'd be talking about it, I noticed the darker color and thought "oh I like that, I should try that!" It looks great!
I’ll get you my custom mixed formula 😂 Thank you!!
@@DianaKokku 😂
Beautiful office!
We started keeping a digital Sabbath back in January, from Saturday 4.30pm-Sunday 4.30pm, after reading 'Ruthless elimination of hurry'.
We now all sleep a lot longer on that night each week because we know that there's not going to be screens in the morning, we have an excellent rest. Best decision for our family.
This is a great testimony and encouragement… thank you so much for sharing!! 🙌
When I “mix” I don’t mix the stains together. I do the lighter stain first, let it dry, then do a second coat in the darker stain. It’s easier to control how dark it gets that way because the first coat partially seals it so it doesn’t absorb as much of the dark stain. You can control how fast you wipe off or leave on too. I’ve used that method to match existing house stain and used as many as 3 or 4 different colors without mixing anything in the containers.
Brilliant
Great tip
Yep, brilliant. I should have just stopped and waited for all this great input!!! 💛👍
Thanks for the great tip!
The dollar tree moment! 😅 I am a huge Minimal Mom fan and it's the forthrightness that I appreciate, but Diana's reaction...😅
A dimmer would make it not have to be so bright when you are just working in the office, but the lighting looks perfect for the video! I love you two so much. We’ve never met, but it feels like you’re friends. The countertop looks good, and so does the decorating (way better than what I could do).
I like the dark better honestly. It looks so clean and modern. I think the shelves would look great dyed to match!
We just had 4 days away at a cottage with our kids and grandkids with no cell or internet service available. It was wonderful! Lots of board games, reading, biking, hiking, swimming, s’mores, saunas, hanging out, eating, Amazing family time.
I love it! It didn't need to match because it brings warmth to the area. Great job!
I was pregnant and also standing on a ladder but to clean a ceiling fan. It was a new home for us. Well the fan came crashing down. It was a blessing that no one was standing under it. Needless to say no one would let me do anymore work 😂
It looks nice, Diane. I think it is weird how some people are so finicky. I am 68, so I have seen so many color, material and decorating trends in my lifetime. No matter what you do, in 10 or 20 years it will be dated. I like my ceiling fans, because sometimes one room is stuffy but the thermostat doesn't need adjusting.
And in 30 years it’s back in vogue? 😆
Just love you ladies, i think the darker stain brings out the beautiful picture more. My family struggled when i was young- we always say the saying a jack of all trades but a master of none!!! I am always. I can do that... thats crazy money!! The lighting is perfect. With my first son I was mowing the lawn the day before i have birth!!
It is AWESOME!!!!! Be proud of yourself for finishing this project!!!! You have a busy life and you are pregnant. Give yourself grace like Jesus does. 🤍
This episode made my heart happy. Congrats on your finished space!
I prefer the dark wood to the lighter wood.
You go. My mom rode a Tobacco setter, put up corn, and reupholstered a chair when she was ready to deliver. I was painting a huge bonus room and throwing a big birthday party the day before I delivered my daughter. I have 4-H ribbons as well. It always amazes me how parallel my life has been to yours and Dawns.
Great job on your stain! I can’t believe you mixed it in the room with all that light colored carpet. You are brave!
I love the darker stain, and everything looks really nice. Yes, Diana, a very pregnant woman on a ladder is a “hmmmm” moment for me but something I totally would have done myself! 😀. Dawn helping you is always entertaining. 😉 You two are so dang cute when you film together!
I do love the darker stain against that beautiful wall color. I, myself, would be tempted to also stain the shelves, except I know what a pain they were to hang in the first place, so that might deter me😂
You and your sister are such kind people that I think most people joining the channels are so thankful for the joyful ,kindhearted and loving
Oops...loving atmosphere that we have more grace with ourselves as well as others...thank you
I call it 'shop the house'.
I love that you put pictures of yourself that are special times in your life.
Seriously Dawn was a good resource to come in and help you with the overflow papers and junk on your desk
You ladies are so great! Diana, you are GLOWING with your pregnancy - you look so darn PRECIOUS!!! 🥰
I like the contrast of the different wood colors and it also goes well with the contrast of the painting, darker colors at the bottom and lighter colors at the top.
Diana we are too busy listening to your wonderful words. I did not even notice the board ❤️
It looks very nice! I like it better than if it matched!
Diana - you are the only one who has to like it. So if you like it and will enjoy working in that office that’s ALL that matters! Good job for finishing your project!! Way to stay the course!
Looks great! My favorite stain that turns out about the same as what you stained is white vinegar and steel wool. Put it in a jar and let it sit for 24 hours and the steel wool dissolves. When you use it the only smell there is is vinegar and it dissipates quickly.
I love mismatched wood. Good job and way to know yourself. Never apologize for calling in reinforcements!
I LOVE the stain! I'm not a fan of matchy-matchy and I think it looks beautiful! 💕 You rock Diana! 💖
Looks fantastic ! Peaceful, aesthetically pleasing, & facilitating focus and inspiration. Love it !! NO more ladders tho please !
Thank you ! 😅 Love you, Friends ! “The Minnesota Twins” are the BEST ! Thanks for sharing
I agree it looks great. You did well. I find myself telling my mind, Just because I can do it doesn’t mean it has to be done by me. This is my way of being ok with spending money on someone else doing the work, most times I do this I realize money spent was totally worth it.
Oh precious, not here to judge. If you would ever see our place you would notice several unfinished projects in several stages of progress. Your office looks very nice!
You know what --- the people who should matter to you are those that are supportive, encouraging and loving. Just let go of the others. You two are so lovely. Thank you. so excited to see the new baby when it comes.
I think the darker stain looks great. I wouldn't expect the floating shelves to match the cabinet top - it would be too much. Plus the darker cabinet board is grounding the background.
THank you for mentioning you stopped short of finishing the project. I just realized I do that exact same thing. There's just something So hard about that final step.
Why do we tend to be hard on ourselves?
It is absolutely beautiful!! ♥️
Classic space. The color is calming. Love your attitude.
The dark is gorgeous with the shelves. Love it
Good job Diana 👍 my whole home is 70% finished, with the best intentions of finishing everything off I still get more excited about new projects!
The picture frame picks up on the newly stained tops. You did good. Go Girl!!
Haha Diana I am like you with the stain. I just dive in and see what happens. The lower board matches Dawns hair colour and upper shelves and lighter like yours. The 2 colours look beautiful together. I have a couple projects at 70% I feel like I need to go finish now
Love love love how that stain turned out. The contrast with the white is perfect and I think it looks awesome not having the other 2 match and I’m a very matchy matchy person and I love the way this looks❣️ Great job. 👏🥰
Diana, your office is just lovely. Enjoy.
I missed this video somehow … you worked it out Diana! It looks good! I am impressed that you dismantled the ceiling fan… like a boss! ❤️🇨🇦
Your office looks great! You did a fabulous job making it look cozy and peaceful. Enjoy your time in there!
I just want to say it goes to show that from our own perspective things can seem much worse than they really are. I know I hadn't noticed the board in your videos until you mentioned it in this video. All of my focus is on the words and like you because you focus on the people you are coversating with which is what this is like. Anyway looks great!
Missed your beautiful prayer. The office looks great!
I think that your studio/office space looks fantastic!
I love the wall colour, the painting and the decor, the stain colour …everything!
Well done Diana (and Dawn ☺️ .)
Can I just say... the two of you are SUCH a breath of fresh air!! I love listening to you; I love the interaction between you: and I love the fact that you genuinely care - really care - about one another!!🙂🙃🙂
I love the darker color though it will show the dust more. You have a great office. I never even noticed that the counter was not done!
For real, I love the darker and lighter woods together and the dark looks beautiful with the white cabinets! We’ll done 😊!
Hey Diana ! I hope you see this :) I L O V E how the office turned out! It’s so cozy! And so cute! And I wanted to say your painting reminds me a lot of the Jordan River … it’s what I think of every time I see it so it really just fits perfect! I wonder if anyone else agrees ! Gives it a homey feel !
I 100% agree! It looks great! Sometimes we are striving for perfection than what is acceptable, pretty, and great! So you're eclectic, honestly- it looks awesome!
Love it! It looks so calming. The darker counter top adds character
I struggle with completion of projects too on my own...So nice your hubby helped complete the light fixture change, and you have Dawn to call for amazing advice and reassurance!! 🤗
The shelves honestly look great! If you decided to do dark stain on the fronts only of the top 2 shelves, would look wonderful too!
Hey, it always feels so good to complete a project!! Nicely done, Diana!!
Diana it looks so great! I think darker paint and or stain always looks better as a base or at the bottom of a cabinet ect so it’s so perfect and looks like it was meant to be that way! It breaks it up a little so I love it!!! Awesome job girl and your pregnant with number three I say you’re doing great getting things like that off your list still so awesome!
I'm all about not matching. I love the contrast.
Great job working on the room and the light! Our home is always a work in progress!
I love the darker color against your paint. Love you guys
I live in Arizona and will never get rid of our ceiling fans and if I could I would have them in our bathrooms. LOL
They're a must in the south! 😃
Alabama here...ceiling fans in every bathroom!
Oh Diana, I love how REAL you are!💕 I enjoy both your channel and Dawns so much!
I love the oops darker board. you would never it wasn't supposed to be like that. your office looks great
I like how it turned out! I personally like mixing different colors of wood in a room!
Yes you are absolutely right it is a perfect color!
L❤️VE the contrast of woods, the office looks amazing
I am just so amazed you did it all yourself that I wouldn't dare comment. Loved your idea of 1 hr, i day, i week off tech
In the comments, if you could just agree with me! 😂 God bless you, Diana!
I never noticed the short shelf. I concentrated on you and your message.
Yes Diana. You are absolutely right.😉
And I love your wall paint color and the white ceiling!
Yes indeed, Diana you are correct… and wonderful 😘🙏🏼
Are you kidding me? I have a Degree in Fashion Design and Interior Design. Its Gorgeous. I couldnt Love it more.
Gotta love a twin sister to tell you how it is 😂 I think it looks nice and not dollar tree ish lol! My husband does the same thing with the piles on the desk. Drives me nuts. Lol but he is getting better at throwing away junk mail. Dawn makes a good point to start on the bottom. I never thought of that.
I love your honesty. Please agree with me! As it happens, I do!
Lighting is great! Good job ladies!
Honestly I love ❤️ the darker color. Do the shelves too
You 2 crack me up Just love it
Thanks, also, for sharing that you have a hard time finishing things! I’m such a “starter” often, and get almost done, and then, yep, I need help to finish cause I either run out of steam, motivation, or direction.
So help from a friend/company, timeline pressure, or some video support from Dawn or Diana tends to work well!
It doesn’t bother me that an overwhelming project takes “awhile” at first, but then it becomes, “I’ll get to it… or finish it soon.” 😬☺️ But Yipes! Growing still!
I actually really like the colours of both your shelves and how they look together! Good job! You are definitely not the only one who doesn’t finish projects! 😂

Love the time will tell basket.
I try to coordinate instead of match but I love the dark color! & I use my phone calendar to remind me to do things and toss the paper
You did a great job! You should feel so proud! You give me motivation to finish up some projects!!
Wood tones work great together!
Loved this, and what good advice at the end. Thank You for sharing. Diane, Congratulations to the new addition to the family. Blessings to all.💕
It’s so pretty! You did a great job! Sometimes getting it done sure beats waiting to be able to get it perfect! Thanks for the beautiful reminder!
I actually love the darker color on the counter top, it really pops with the wall color and white cabinets! I feel like the lighter stain would be too washed out looking on that big of an expanse.
I just love the two of you! I mix stain the same way🤣
I always say it’s all good ❤️
It looks great! Good job!
Thanks for another great video! The office looks great.
It looks awesome. Nesting feelings kicked in and just gotta get everything in order. Love you both. What an amazing relationship you sisters have. If one needs help, the other turns up. Amazing. Rachelle, Australia xo
It is all beautiful Diana.
It looks beautiful. You did a wonderful job
I honestly had no idea your study WASN’T
finished!! Looks lovely!
I like the contrast! Looks great!
I think your room is beautiful 😍 classy and very simplified fantastic job 🥳🎊💜❤️
TROPHIES! “You know I have trophies” 🏆 love this episode!
It looks great! Good job for finishing!!
The bench top looks amazing! 🤩
I love the dark! My husband just made me some industrial pipe shelves, I choose dark stain and I love them. I say a perfect choice!
Hey, the 2 different colors are really unique. What a great story to pass on to your baby.
Way. To. Go Mama!! 👏👏 it came together so nicely! "people pay to get this done!" haha so true. but doing it yourself is so much more badass.
