Hello, Danie! I'm a hardworking high school teacher located across Lake Ontario from you in Rochester, NY. It just occured to me how long I've been following you and LOVING your stuff, and that I should let you know how much your work means to me. I think the first video I every watched with you was when Vincenzo (and another Italian guy) helped you do a big (table?) epoxy project. You've come so far since then! Anyway, I'm a huge fan and look forward to your postings all week long. I love your weird, honest, can-do energy. In fact, it just occured to me that maybe I want to be you when I grow up (btw, I'm 52). No joke though, I've been thinking about retiring early from teaching and starting a DIY channel of my own. (Maybe? We'll see!) But thanks so much for inspiring me for years now, and keep on DIYing!
Hi. I’m also a fan of the show and also in Rochester, NY! My daughter is a high school math teacher at CCHS. She has three more years to retire and can’t wait! I do not envy teachers today. Wishing you the best!
@@Clovergirl7934 Well, teaching has its advantages and disadvantages, like everything else! Keep in mind that some of the reasons that teachers tend to retire early is because keeping up that level of energy until age 65 is unlikely. That. and I've also known a few people retired from this profession we love in order to have enough money to retire for real!
@@Clovergirl7934 Teachers are under attack all over the U.S. when we should be thanking them. I am so grateful to my children's (and my own!) teachers. Great teachers open minds not only to knowledge but also to asking questions, increasing human understanding, improving lives and creating beauty.
I would have used the round wood removed from the door to fit in the ugly empty spot below. Some wood shavings, some wood glue, some sand paper and some stain later it'll be a good looking door.
I thought her showing the door piece scrap was foreshadowing and was waiting for her to use it to fill in the hole! 😂 Ah well, still a beautiful reused door.
If the hole for the old door knob on the side of the door is big enough, you could make a tiny little Borrowers’ style room as a hidden treasure. Or hide something else like a Lego figure, a mini painting, crystals, or just paint a little scene in there. It’s possible a tiny battery operated light would fit in there. Then it’s a hidden treasure to see how many people notice and just bring you joy.
That would be so cool! And it would be an opportunity to give the door sneakily half-hidden nerdy touch! (Having e.g. a Sailor Moon or Batman figurine in there!)
I love that you were able to find a door that warms your heart. Just imagine all the people who have passed through her over the years and what their purpose was in doing so.🚪 I wish you many years of happiness as she welcomes you when you pass over her threshold into your studio of many possibilities. You did good kid, be proud.🌺❤️
That door 💖 Danie I used one of those electric pumps for water gallons (I don't know how to describe it in a better way) to make a make shift sink in my garage. It doesn't provide a lot of water per second but I can wash my hands or a paint brush without having to come into the house to do it. I used two of those big water "bottles" (english is not my main language obviously), one with water connected to the faucet pump thingy and I drilled a hole into a bowl (that ended up being my sink) where the dirty water goes. I don't know if I made sense, but my sistem works really well for me. You just have to dispose the dirty water from times to times and fill the other one with clean water when it empties. Hope this idea of mine helps someone who might need it. Lot's of love from a Portugal fan 🥰
Hiya Dani 😊 just a thought, to balance up the bottom of the door, you could add a sliver of wood across the bottom of the inset panels to match the ones on top. Love your work, carry on being a cool quirky chick x NZ
the door is amazing & glad you're happy with the kickplate workaround. the black on the dark wood really helps to make it less obvious & also intentional. I think I would have probably opted to use some of the cut off timber to fill it in, especially as you cut out a circle disc for the new handle that would be about the right size as the old hole almost. I definitely think that if you're going to have a wash station area that it would be better tucked in the corner here rather than taking up valuable real estate in the middle of the Studio. a landing spot /mudroom / washstation sounds good. Can't wait to see what you end up doing
The energy with Lisa there is...puntastic in the very best way. Also, if you set up a coffee station next to the door you NEED a "Tea. Earl grey. Hot." sign for the wall above it. 🖖😂
Just wondering, did you build the doorway before you found the door? If you had the door first, could you have built the doorway to fit so you wouldn't have had to cut the bottom?
I love this door!!! I really wish you picked a more whimsical doorknob! Your personality is whimsy and creative and I can see you walking into your magical realm every time you enter this space! Ijs🦋
Beautiful door. I have to agree with some of the commenters though… It would have been nice to raise the door to not lose the proportions at the bottom, and to either fill in the hole with wood or perhaps another proportion could have helped if covering with metal. Everyone is different. I see some love the metal. It doesn’t look like a door plate to me-more like a patch and something the eye is drawn to that takes away from the rest of the door. I will say… I hate to be critical. You do amazing work and I think my perfectionism sometimes stops me from getting things done. That said. If there is another solution to fixing the hole still, I think it would look a lot better, as well as the idea you mentioned of a kick plate or something horizontal at the bottom to help with creating the illusion of a bit more of a border and proportion at the bottom of the door to remedy that chopped off vibe.
Omgoodness Danie - what a stunning old door - so much character, charm and history - could you imagine if it could talk and share the things it’s seen and heard! 😊 Beautiful 🤩 ❤ I love the black metal accents of the plate and door handle makes it have a hint of industrial feel and compliments the dark wood fabulously! 👏 Perfect match to your creative space - shoutout to Lisa as well! 👍
Lisa is fantastic. I’m glad we got to meet her and hope she shows up again. The door is amazing! I’m only sad you didn’t build the doorway to fit the door. But you left its character so I’m grateful to see her appreciated as she deserves!
Great to meet you, Lisa! Oh, Dani, I thought you would reuse the larger piece of wood you cut out for the new knob to fill in the old knob hole, since you didn't remove that segment of the door to shorten the overall height. Love floor outlets. Diggin' the moment of water painting.
For the old hole in the door you could cut it into a rectangle with the jigsaw then make a template and put it on the piece you cut off the door then you can glue it in place fill it with wood filler or make a mix with the sawdust to fill in the gaps and then use wood crayons to make it look natural then clear coat it to give it a seamless look For the entry way I would use the space next to the green built in as a space to place bags and jackets could make a bench with hooks or have a coat rack, on the right would be a great space for a coffee and snack area, could also use it to add shelves with buckets of art supplies like brushes and such since you’re thinking of putting the sink there. could have some cabinets on bottom to store cleaning supplies as well. Could give the sink a built in look by putting a cabinet front on hinges and a push to open system so when you need to empty it you can just push and open it.
The DOOR LOOKS FAB!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Because of the Victorian Edwardian style of said door, I see a possible Steampunk moment in the coffee/tea/snack bar to pay homage to that time period. Something like a tall Vic/Edw piece with a center mirror to reflect light and be a melding statement with flush framing like bars of that time. Woodtones, a beautiful counter, storage underneath. A found piece from a salvage place maybe. Just an idea. Brass fixtures...
Your door is absolutely gorgeous!! You have done an amazing job on your studio. Your watercolor is beautiful. I just love watching you build and create. You are so very talented!! 🩷
With the wall next to the door the off cut from the door you could cut down in half and put black hooks on it and have a place to put coats and bags. 🤷♀️ just a thought. I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND YOU. I think you’re awesome xo
Hi Danie. There are many types of portable sinks with water tanks. Hair salon, gardening, and camping to name a few. Even ones within a table. Your door looks amazing 👏 ❤
Yes yes, yes, brass metal trim on the bottom to match the plate covering the old door handle holes. I was think that just as u said it. Such a gorgeous door. ❤❤❤❤
Just wondering if the piece you cut out for the new handle could have been used to fill the original hole?? 🤷🏼♀️ I love the door, it fits the room perfectly!
The door is gorgeous! I personally think a coffee bar/cold-hot combo drink/drop your stuff area elevates a space. And of course I know you would make it super cool looking! Really great video and your editor did an awesome job in her cameo! ❤❤❤
The door is beautiful. I love the glass and the touch of green is perfect, my favorite for color for home decor. My suggestion - to the right of the door - your intended wash station and a coffee bar/drink station. Narrow counter, small fridge, under counter, off to one side and pen shelves above. Counter and shelves, the same color as the door.
Absolutely perfect with the colour of the closet. And it's a perfect balance between a modern closet and an old classic door. Couldn't have found a better door imo
Fun thought for later, maybe make mini borrower sized door to fit onto the metal plate. Assuming a magnet will stick to the plate, it could be a project that can be switched or changed up according to the seasons/holidays. Love you videos ❤
Love the door😍! Well done problem solving fitting it🤩🤩. Your editor is hilarious IRL, as well as on her computer, and I like the drop zone/wash/replenish function for that wall. Good luck deciding! Each step you take helps the next decisions, and you can always reevaluate and make another video🤓🤓
The doooooor ! This magical door ! That was sooooo huge ! And Lisaaaa ! Dream video ! 🤩 Must have felt so stressful to try and cut this door, install the handles ! Also sweet sweet flowers you were drawing, drawing, painting is so relaxing ! Thanks for sharing a piece of it ! Hum, by the way, you said, and you already said it in other videos, "take it slow" and "moving slow today, but at least I'm moving and I think that's what matters". Could you make a shirt out of it, out of this idea ? I love this principle too, with the make it messy spirit for example, it completes I feel ! I already told you it feels magical ! Such a huge step towards your future and present every second ! So exciting ! Love all this for you !!! 🥰🥰
Your trip to Detroit for that door was definitely worth it. It's a beautiful door and really warms up the space. I think it looks great with the floor (you created that incredible floor!!). And from now on I'm going to be seeing unicorns lurking in the background when I watch your videos. (Love your editor!) I've been wondering how you're heating (and cooling) your new studio.
I literally got to the point of the dry fit and had to stop to comment. That door is GORGEOUS!! I knew you were tying in the green in the stained glass with the storage area you built but baby, this is soooo FIRE!!!!!!! I shall now press play again!
This door is gorgeous and had a doorknob in a really weird place. It's lucky you found it because now it's got a happy home! I really love how the green from the door draws your eye to your storage and vice versa. I personally love the black metal plates. I'm an industrial girl at heart and it just makes it feel like the door came from some factory from a hundred years ago. Like it was the boss's office door.
The door is beautiful! Well done, Danie 👏👏👏 And thank you for introducing us to Lisa. She is a brilliant editor and so funny. Love the doggy shots too! Have a great week!
It’s all coming together beautifully and I think the door color and floor color look great together. The green stained glass pieces tie in so well with the green storage cabinet, it’s like you planned that or something 😂
The green glass with the green cabinets works so well! I kinda wish you had made the metal kick thing longer but as long as you love it it’s perfect :)
Annnnd...your foray into Doorland has inspired myself to return to the thrift store where I found a lovely sheer creamy embroidered linen fabric, abt 6+ yds to make some easy quick sheer curtains for my windows. So I did. 🎉
Love your work! One question - As the wall and frame were new construction, why didn't you make the opening match the door rather than chopping it down?
My thoughts exactly. It looked like there was wiggle room to do just that. Plus, chopping off the bottom ruins the proportions of the door. Sad. Now it looks weird. I usually like what you do, but you lost me with this one. You didn't show that gorgeous door the respect it deserved when you truncated it.
Oh my goodness. I so enjoy watching every minute of you, you are so creative and talented. I love, love, love this door♥‼ In my younger yeare (I'm now 77 - OMG) I loved to make stained glass windows, lamps, etc. This looks so beautiful in your shop. I was thrilled for you when you found it but now to see it in it's place -WOW!
I was in time out couldn’t comment earlier. This was so much fun your editor is a hoot. You have some great friends and the door turned out amazing. I like the plate then again those were popular to protect that part of the door nears the knob when I was growing up. Especially in high traffic areas.
I honestly expected a lot of disappointments installing the door, BUT you pushed through the whole project like the expert creator that you are. It looks wonderful. I am looking forward to next weeks video to see what else you are going t o create in your dream studio!!!🎉🎉 😊
Love the door Danie! I also LOVED as soon as you mentioned the kick plate and painting it to match the handle ❤❤❤❤ I love that you found a door that made your magic heart sing and you made it fit where you needed it! BRILLIANT AS ALWAYS! Lots of love Jocelyn and Maisie! xxxxx
Great to meet Lisa! LOVE the door! I think the metal plate works great. Because you painted it black it visually doesn’t stick out. The studio is looking FANTASTIC!!!
i love the green glass on the door. id be feeling extra creative too with a brand new bright and beautiful studio ✨ btw you kinda wrote a lil poem @ 26:32.. "so, i think something built in here might be the way to go? i dont know. im interested to hear what you guys think 'cause give your creativity and ideas a go, and let me know in the comment section below 'cause i'd love to know." oh and can you please give more memberships to craftsy soon?! i have literally $0 right now til tomorrow night
I genuinely feel like we need a more creative doorknob! I fun short on you painting a custom ceramic knob with those pens you featured would be amazing or a vintage glass knob
Amazing door and you did a great job installing it. You had a cool opportunity to fill the hole either a giant green marble or even two that would have complimented the green glass in the window, but still honored the character of the door. But I loved what you did also!
You could not have found a more perfect door for that space. It brings so much (cohesive) character to the entrance of your studio. I really love it! Looking forward to the ongoing evolution of this space 💜🖤
Your joy with the completion of this project makes me happy ! Thank you for sharing you and the evolution of your creative space. Love that I get to support you in some small way. You bring joy and the sense of possibilities to me every week. Thank you ❤
I can't push like so I'm telling u in this comment I love watching u I look forward to it every week keep on doing ur thing and I'll c u next week love u
You really are the one that knows what is needed there but I wish you would paint that one diagonal wall of funky color because you’ve got the the intense green and that would just be fun just to see something that you would not normally see instead of Machi Machi
Oh Danie that door is so beautiful and you fixing that old open spot with the black metal looks so great, and making it a bit shorter by sawing the bottom off that much gives you that pretty wood to build a shelf. The trim around the door really looks so good and also along the bottom of the walls. This space is really looking so gorgeous and is a great work area for you. I think having like a coffee area with a way to have some water to clean things would be so essential for you as a hard worker. Thanks so much again for sharing another great video that again impressed me. Have a great weekend and I will wish you lots of blessings, sending love and hugs, bye!! 🥰🥰🙏🙏👍💝💕💜💜💜💜
❤love the door. Your blank wall? What about a coat rack as you walk in. A small bench to sit to put your slippers on for those cold days to feel cozy. And your coffee drink station. Love your studio 😊
You are such a bright light to my Saturday mornings. Love how the green cabinets are echoed in the green glass of the door. For the area beside the door, I think start with a bench for people to put their stuff down and let that flow into a counter top for your hot/cold combos and wash station. There are a lot of people who have converted vans to travel in that use that pump sink you had mentioned in your video. I think you could make that look really lovely. Almost wish you could have put in some kind of dumb waiter to bring the really heavy stuff up and down the stairs (like the water for your pump sink). But, you could definitely build muscle this way!
Music was excellent this video - appropriate and no irritating lyrics. And that shot of Kenobi looking up from the floor was lovely. Great effort team. My suggestion for your entry wall is that if you put a bench seat and coffee station, or anything structural, just make sure you have plenty of turn room to haul long bits of timer of heavy equipment up the stairs and through the lovely doorway.
Question, why did you not use the wooden round piece from the new door handle hole your drilled and glue that in the old hole and use wood filler for the other gaps then stain it?
The door is gorgeous, Danie, but I have to agree with some of the others that bottom looks too cut off. As a relatively easy fix, what if you cut off the amount you need from the current bottom to match the thickness at the top, then use the piece you already cut off to replace it? That way the wood and stain already matches. You could use dowels to keep it clean, flush, and sturdy. This will shorten the insets, but give you the thickness to match the top and make the door look more balanced. Plus this method wouldn't force you to move the hinges or the handle. You'd probably also need to cut and stain a little angled trim piece to put at the new bottom of the insets to match the rest of the shape, but you probably already have something that would work in your wood collection. At the end of the day though, if you're happy with it, that's all that matters! Just wanted to offer an idea in case you do decide to change it. Love your magic, Danie! :-)

I would have used the round wood removed from the door to fit in the ugly empty spot below. Some wood shavings, some wood glue, some sand paper and some stain later it'll be a good looking door.
What a good idea!
Yes! I had exactly the same thought...😃
Yesss!
I thought her showing the door piece scrap was foreshadowing and was waiting for her to use it to fill in the hole! 😂 Ah well, still a beautiful reused door.
I thought that too, but. . .

I vote for a coffee station bc every creative space needs coffee. And a mini fridge ofc for your hot/cold combos
I second that vote haha

OW-OW-OW - CH!!!
Cutting that beautiful door!
OWWW!
Personally, I would have opened the height of the door way!
Still beautiful!
❤️❤️💫
I agree! What a shame. I love that door.
I was wondering about that. My guess is that the structure of that wall would have been compromised if she heightened the door opening.
Me too. It looks like it would have been easy to add a few inches to the height.
Hiya Dani 😊 just a thought, to balance up the bottom of the door, you could add a sliver of wood across the bottom of the inset panels to match the ones on top. Love your work, carry on being a cool quirky chick x NZ

OMG DEADDDDD I LOVE IT
It was palpable, I noticed that too.
😂😂😂❤
oh yes, perfect!! (Make it so!)
That door is exactly what was needed. So glad everything is working out perfectly for you. Love the colors!
Warms the space up too! ❤️
Just wondering, did you build the doorway before you found the door? If you had the door first, could you have built the doorway to fit so you wouldn't have had to cut the bottom?

The door is amazing! I’m only sad you didn’t build the doorway to fit the door. But you left its character so I’m grateful to see her appreciated as she deserves!
Or perhaps cut some off top so it remained more balanced.
I love "meeting" Lisa. Her editing is great!
So cool to see the face behind the edits! Lisa is awesome and so good at her job!
Thank you :)

DIY Danie does it again! What has she done? She has influenced and convinced me that I CAN indeed do it myself.
For the old hole in the door you could cut it into a rectangle with the jigsaw then make a template and put it on the piece you cut off the door then you can glue it in place fill it with wood filler or make a mix with the sawdust to fill in the gaps and then use wood crayons to make it look natural then clear coat it to give it a seamless look
For the entry way I would use the space next to the green built in as a space to place bags and jackets could make a bench with hooks or have a coat rack, on the right would be a great space for a coffee and snack area, could also use it to add shelves with buckets of art supplies like brushes and such since you’re thinking of putting the sink there. could have some cabinets on bottom to store cleaning supplies as well. Could give the sink a built in look by putting a cabinet front on hinges and a push to open system so when you need to empty it you can just push and open it.
I love the chemistry you and Lisa have! It's so nice to see two people on the same wavelength and with such a similar sense of humour!
👏🏻It’s gorgeous. I’m glad you’re doing a section at a time so it’s not so overwhelming! Can’t wait to see it when it’s done!

Your moment of crafty was a moment of zen for me. Inspired me to grab my water colors ❤
Love that you chose the green paint color and it compliments those colored glass pieces in the door. Absolutely perfect.
Just Love the door!!! 🙌🙌 Loved meeting "The Editor"❤ See ya next time👏

Hum, by the way, you said, and you already said it in other videos, "take it slow" and "moving slow today, but at least I'm moving and I think that's what matters". Could you make a shirt out of it, out of this idea ? I love this principle too, with the make it messy spirit for example, it completes I feel ! I already told you it feels magical ! Such a huge step towards your future and present every second ! So exciting ! Love all this for you !!! 🥰🥰
Your trip to Detroit for that door was definitely worth it. It's a beautiful door and really warms up the space. I think it looks great with the floor (you created that incredible floor!!). And from now on I'm going to be seeing unicorns lurking in the background when I watch your videos. (Love your editor!)
I've been wondering how you're heating (and cooling) your new studio.
Perfection! Love the “Captains Quarters”!
I literally got to the point of the dry fit and had to stop to comment. That door is GORGEOUS!! I knew you were tying in the green in the stained glass with the storage area you built but baby, this is soooo FIRE!!!!!!! I shall now press play again!
This door is gorgeous and had a doorknob in a really weird place. It's lucky you found it because now it's got a happy home! I really love how the green from the door draws your eye to your storage and vice versa.
I personally love the black metal plates. I'm an industrial girl at heart and it just makes it feel like the door came from some factory from a hundred years ago. Like it was the boss's office door.
The door is beautiful! Well done, Danie 👏👏👏 And thank you for introducing us to Lisa. She is a brilliant editor and so funny. Love the doggy shots too! Have a great week!
It’s all coming together beautifully and I think the door color and floor color look great together. The green stained glass pieces tie in so well with the green storage cabinet, it’s like you planned that or something 😂
Love that door with the green that goes so well with your storage cabinets. Well done!
The green glass with the green cabinets works so well! I kinda wish you had made the metal kick thing longer but as long as you love it it’s perfect :)
Annnnd...your foray into Doorland has inspired myself to return to the thrift store where I found a lovely sheer creamy embroidered linen fabric, abt 6+ yds to make some easy quick sheer curtains for my windows. So I did. 🎉
Love your work! One question - As the wall and frame were new construction, why didn't you make the opening match the door rather than chopping it down?
My thoughts exactly. It looked like there was wiggle room to do just that. Plus, chopping off the bottom ruins the proportions of the door. Sad. Now it looks weird. I usually like what you do, but you lost me with this one. You didn't show that gorgeous door the respect it deserved when you truncated it.
@@RebeccaHunt-wv8bc totally agree.
Oh my goodness. I so enjoy watching every minute of you, you are so creative and talented. I love, love, love this door♥‼ In my younger yeare (I'm now 77 - OMG) I loved to make stained glass windows, lamps, etc. This looks so beautiful in your shop. I was thrilled for you when you found it but now to see it in it's place -WOW!
Great to give love to the editor. I love her sense of humour :)
How bout a vintage dresser to repurpose for the wash/drop off station?
Ohhhh there’s a thought!
Loved meeting Lisa! Need more Lisa episodes too! Love the door, awesome job
I was in time out couldn’t comment earlier. This was so much fun your editor is a hoot. You have some great friends and the door turned out amazing. I like the plate then again those were popular to protect that part of the door nears the knob when I was growing up. Especially in high traffic areas.
Best part of my Saturday! 🎉 Glad that even the pro struggles with tape measures! 😂
Stupid tape always gets stuck 😒
I honestly expected a lot of disappointments installing the door, BUT you pushed through the whole project like the expert creator that you are. It looks wonderful. I am looking forward to next weeks video to see what else you are going t o create in your dream studio!!!🎉🎉 😊
That door is absolutely beautiful. Such a great find.
Love the door Danie! I also LOVED as soon as you mentioned the kick plate and painting it to match the handle ❤❤❤❤ I love that you found a door that made your magic heart sing and you made it fit where you needed it! BRILLIANT AS ALWAYS! Lots of love Jocelyn and Maisie! xxxxx
Great to meet Lisa! LOVE the door! I think the metal plate works great. Because you painted it black it visually doesn’t stick out.
The studio is looking FANTASTIC!!!
A Belfast sink on top of an old unit as a vanity with a fresh water and grey water tank storage underneath would look stunning as a wash station xx
Using your pump (maybe a foot pump or electric if you could run it there) x
Yes a coffee station and a mini fridge and shelf space for cups and plates would be nice on that wall .
Right! I mean it MUST be a hot/cold beverage station😅🎉
i love the green glass on the door. id be feeling extra creative too with a brand new bright and beautiful studio ✨
btw you kinda wrote a lil poem @ 26:32.. "so, i think something built in here might be the way to go? i dont know. im interested to hear what you guys think 'cause give your creativity and ideas a go, and let me know in the comment section below 'cause i'd love to know."
oh and can you please give more memberships to craftsy soon?! i have literally $0 right now til tomorrow night
I love that door! The stained glass and the built in storage unit look so good together!
I genuinely feel like we need a more creative doorknob! I fun short on you painting a custom ceramic knob with those pens you featured would be amazing or a vintage glass knob
Amazing door and you did a great job installing it. You had a cool opportunity to fill the hole either a giant green marble or even two that would have complimented the green glass in the window, but still honored the character of the door. But I loved what you did also!
Gorgeous door! 💚 Love watching the space come together!
Definitely a coffee station in the spot by the door. Also, I’m loving your studio makeover! Keep it up. Can’t wait for the next one.
You could not have found a more perfect door for that space. It brings so much (cohesive) character to the entrance of your studio. I really love it! Looking forward to the ongoing evolution of this space 💜🖤
The door looks amazing!! What a fantastic welcome into your happy place ❤
Chef's kiss to the door!!!❤
This is the most beautiful door ever 😭
3:27 carpenter probs 😭🤣 as a tile/flooring installer, I feel this 😩
Lisa is hilarious. Just paused this video to follow her on IG. What a fun human being to be around 💜💙💚💛🧡
Your joy with the completion of this project makes me happy ! Thank you for sharing you and the evolution of your creative space. Love that I get to support you in some small way. You bring joy and the sense of possibilities to me every week. Thank you ❤
I can't push like so I'm telling u in this comment I love watching u I look forward to it every week keep on doing ur thing and I'll c u next week love u
Love the door Danie. It reminds me of my old house's front door. Labours of love makes good memories.
You really are the one that knows what is needed there but I wish you would paint that one diagonal wall of funky color because you’ve got the the intense green and that would just be fun just to see something that you would not normally see instead of Machi Machi
Oh Danie that door is so beautiful and you fixing that old open spot with the black metal looks so great, and making it a bit shorter by sawing the bottom off that much gives you that pretty wood to build a shelf. The trim around the door really looks so good and also along the bottom of the walls. This space is really looking so gorgeous and is a great work area for you. I think having like a coffee area with a way to have some water to clean things would be so essential for you as a hard worker. Thanks so much again for sharing another great video that again impressed me. Have a great weekend and I will wish you lots of blessings, sending love and hugs, bye!! 🥰🥰🙏🙏👍💝💕💜💜💜💜
Door handle should definitely be brass, and slightly ornate to match the style of the door, so you can actually see it
L💚VE the door Danie!!....job well done!👍👏👏👏👏👏
❤love the door. Your blank wall? What about a coat rack as you walk in. A small bench to sit to put your slippers on for those cold days to feel cozy. And your coffee drink station. Love your studio 😊
She's a beaut!!! You've given me so many ideas for my own home! Got the creative juices flowing!!!!!!! Thanks so much Dani!
You are such a bright light to my Saturday mornings. Love how the green cabinets are echoed in the green glass of the door.
For the area beside the door, I think start with a bench for people to put their stuff down and let that flow into a counter top for your hot/cold combos and wash station. There are a lot of people who have converted vans to travel in that use that pump sink you had mentioned in your video. I think you could make that look really lovely.
Almost wish you could have put in some kind of dumb waiter to bring the really heavy stuff up and down the stairs (like the water for your pump sink). But, you could definitely build muscle this way!
Good choice on the latch door handles. You’ll like these when you are carrying things.
The door looks perfect. I agree just leave the “character “ because it’s a beautiful door no need to try to make it look new. ❤ Good job 👍
Music was excellent this video - appropriate and no irritating lyrics. And that shot of Kenobi looking up from the floor was lovely. Great effort team. My suggestion for your entry wall is that if you put a bench seat and coffee station, or anything structural, just make sure you have plenty of turn room to haul long bits of timer of heavy equipment up the stairs and through the lovely doorway.
Question, why did you not use the wooden round piece from the new door handle hole your drilled and glue that in the old hole and use wood filler for the other gaps then stain it?
Beautiful job Danie! The door is beautiful and the stained glass picks up on the gorgeous green storage cupboards!!❤️❤️❤️
The door is gorgeous, Danie, but I have to agree with some of the others that bottom looks too cut off. As a relatively easy fix, what if you cut off the amount you need from the current bottom to match the thickness at the top, then use the piece you already cut off to replace it? That way the wood and stain already matches. You could use dowels to keep it clean, flush, and sturdy. This will shorten the insets, but give you the thickness to match the top and make the door look more balanced. Plus this method wouldn't force you to move the hinges or the handle. You'd probably also need to cut and stain a little angled trim piece to put at the new bottom of the insets to match the rest of the shape, but you probably already have something that would work in your wood collection.
At the end of the day though, if you're happy with it, that's all that matters! Just wanted to offer an idea in case you do decide to change it. Love your magic, Danie! :-)
