What a memory you two have created and a beautiful cozy book nook. Readers love to see their books displayed, and this corner is exceptional. Agatha Christie winter murder, a hot bevie, warm reading socks, the crackle of wood in the fire, .... Bliss.
I recommend anything by Manning Coles! Two people who worked for MI5 before during and after WWII combined their writing talents and their experiences to make suspenseful novels with the occasional dry English tongue firmly wegded in cheek humour. Main character, Thomas Elfinstone Hambleton. A great read and always hard for me to put down. Another is the Father Brown mysteries. These were written for magazines and papers so they are short stories. This is for people who are very busy but still need the occasional short reading break.
Your mom is adorable! You both did a great job! Something tells me that she's going to ask you to help her make the rest of the house and in no time she will operate the tools as a pro!
The green paint was such a great choice! Your mom looks so happy…days with her daughter was a very generous and special gift. (The room transformation is not bad either) ❤
Oh Danie, that is truly, truly gorgeous. As a committed bibliophile myself, I'm so impressed. When you love to read, the importance of having a cosy, beautiful place to read is so important. You knocked it out of the park. The only thing I'd add is a footstool to put my feet up lol 📚📚📚
Oh my heart. Danie, it was so special to be a witness to the time you and your mom had together. I love the transformation! Oh my gosh! The paint colors are so perfect, and that chair! Chefs kiss! I love that you empowered your mom to work with power tools. My mom passed on December 23rd, it’ll be nine years this month. I miss her so much. She taught me to love gardening and anything DIY. It truly was a lovely video. Thank you for sharing it with us. Donna
This was an extremely special video. Danie, you and your beautiful mom not only created a cozy reading nook, you create special mom and daughter memories.❤ When you said "Is that why we call a loony, a loony because it has a loone on it." I as a Canadian who lives less then 2 hours west of you, was about to put on my toque, red and black flannel jacket jump into my car 🚗 drive to your house an revoke your Canadian card.🇨🇦 But I will not. Because I am Canadian and it's not polite to come to someone's home invited.😂
I think this is one of my favourite DYI makeover I have seen on your channel. It is so beautiful 🤩 what a great memory to have with your mother. I hope this isn’t the last project you’ll be doing together in the cottage. 🤞🏻
I love the design of the bookcase without doors completely across the bottom. The time & effort you two spent together will be treasured today tomorrow& forever. Thank you for sharing this endeavor with us. Dani you are extremely talented & a joy to watch & learn.
Wow! What a phenomenal transformation. You are both talented and a great teacher in the making! Really a true English feel. Congratulations 🎊 👏 the green is so perfect with the brown leather recliner. Great price! Denmark 🇩🇰
I loved it. But two things I would change would be (both real easy)... Add more peg holes so you can maybe squeeze in one more shelf... and because it's such a dark corner, I'd paint the inside of the shelves and cabinets the antique white (leave the face frames, the ledge/countertop and the doors green). It will throw more light onto the books and make them even more beautiful and visible. 💖🌞🌵😷
One of the most charming and beautiful space transformation Ive seen is a while! The mom and daughter duo needs to happen again. Creating spaces, creating memories.
I never, in a million years, would have thought to dry brush the walls like that, but omg, it's perfect!! You two are truly visionaries! The leather chair is to die for. This might just be my favorite room makeover. 💜
This was fantastic. I love how game your Mom is to try things she hasn't done before, and how quickly you two totally transformed that space into a place that will be fantastic to read in.
That moment (minute 22:18) when you put the bookshelves on top of the cabinets and the pooch immediately approved. So cute! The way you were able to pivot away from the original plans here and there shows what a problem-solver and clever creator you are. Wonderful project with a fantastic transformation. Beautiful space at a gorgeous location.
This couldn't have come at a betting time. My husband is laying new flooring in my craft room and I want a reading corner in there. Needed some inspiration. Thanks Danie. I haven't even watched the video yet, but I know you will kick start me for my design. So thanks in advance!
My favorite part is that you and your mom did it together. I love everything about it, the color , the feeling that you get when you look at it. Wonderful job ladies.
It’s turned out gorgeous. How fun just to have that mother-daughter time she teaches you to garden and you teach her to woodwork how fun . You are blessed.
This video was so perfect on many levels: great room transformation (I love the built-in, and it actually works better for the space without the doors on 2 lower cabinets), wonderful camaraderie with your pretty mother, and a honor for us to share this warm moment with the two of you! Thank you!
Danie and Danie's mom, this is so lovely and warm. You two did such a great job. Everything looks so wonderful together... the colour, the accessories, the lighting, all add to the mood. I'm actually thinking it was a "happy accident" that the hardware didn't fit for the bottom cupboards. I really like the middle open. If your Mom has more rooms to work on Danie, you should make a series of this. I'd love to see a cottage makeover.
I have such nostalgic feelings about a Canadian cottage. That scenery is iconic. I’d love to see more projects in there. The green is perfect and that chair!! What a find. My favourite part was the part that made me laugh the hardest which was when it dawned on you that we call it a loonie because of the loon 😂😂😂. I’m chuckling again just thinking about it. Classic. ❤
I didn't think I would like the way you painted the walls but I was wrong. It really fits into the vibe of the room perfectly. The only thing I would change is her shelves being in my house instead of hers. Lol that was suppose to be funny??? I love the whole cozy reading nook! It is very very nice. You always make everything look so easy and I know it is not. Good work Dani and Dani's Mom!
Such an incredible transformation! What a wonderful experience to work with your mom to turn this corner into a space she’ll enjoy for years. So sweet. ❤️
Ditto - my favourite part was seeing you and your Mom work together to transform her space. The paint she picked was absolutely gorgeous! And your carpentry skills are SO impressive - the ability to plan the whole thing out so you knew which cuts to make, then put it all together so the shelves lined up perfectly - wow!
Great job you two!!! Such a wonderful time together you two had making this space for your mom! That’s the even better part of this project. A memory created together, between mother and daughter!!! …. I also think you guys came up with a perfect name for your mother’s home, “Cozy Corner”. perhaps, now you can make a sign for outside the house, saying something to the effect of, “Welcome to Cozy Corner”, or “Welcome to Cozy Corners, or “Welcome to Cozy Corner Manor”, or “Welcome to Cozy Corner Cottage”, or simply, “Cozy Corner Cottage”. You get the “fib”!
Do you know the best part, for me, waking up and realizing it’s Saturday and that means DIY Danie. Searches RUclips, pours a cup of hot coffee and presses go. Never EVER disappoints. ❤
I agree my favorite part was watching you and your mom together!! Soooo my mom and I 🥰❤️ I would not change a thing, it’s perfect and so pretty!! And I love your ideas!! I just moved into my father-in-law’s knotty pine, low ceiling, cozy home not too long ago and we are whittling away at the to-do list slowly but surely 😊❤️ I cannot wait for the decorating part of our remodeling. And my entire kitchen was built in place just as your mom’s reading nook… you even chose the same color that I want to use for paint!! Now I feel even better about my choices! Eclectic it is ❤️❤️❤️
What a delight this whole project was to watch. I'm sure everybody you know wishes they had a Mother/Daughter friendship like yours....And she is fantastic and adorable too.
So proud of you two! I'm assuming this is her first time changing up the house since your step-father passed? Hi! Mom. You raised a "keeper". I would love to see more episodes like this one. Also, that difference in width between upper shelves and lower cabinets allows for oversize books to stick out and be esthetically pleasing 😉. Happy accident I say!
After everything you and your mom have gone through I'm so glad you guys got to spend this time together and give her something to cherish and have a cozy peaceful area that can make her thing of you and all the memories!! Truly a gorgeous diy!!
This brought me to tears, not only is this the sweetest thing ever, its also so beautiful, you can literally feel the love and care that was put into this space, thank you for sharing this with us. I truly hope she finds many cozy moments within this space.
What a work! It is good to see some people actually doing the things rather than pretending doing them as on other channels. An adorable moment between you and your Mum. I would see a big square rather flat cushion on the floor for a dog, in the same hues as the rug.
Sooo good!! You and your mom ARE THE BEST! You are the best daughter who has the best mom. What a treat to watch a fun, informative, heart warming, diy video on a dreary, raining day on the cc of Cali. So many times I giggled with you, understood your mom’s trepidation and delighted that you both persevered in the Cottage Core Reading Nook Look. What an Achievements!!! Sooo good!!!❤
Looks so good! Love that you two worked together to get it all done AND that you left in the hiccups and oops moments so we can see that even experienced “real” DIYers sometimes have to rework plans and that things don't always go perfectly smooth. Makes all the aggravation and mistakes we make while learning seem less like “ugh I can't do this, why is this so hard, no one else has this much trouble” seem more like “these are just the way projects go” and that having problems pop up mid project isn't necessarily about our skill level but just the reality of doing DIY projects- so appreciate that. Another great project!!
I know those cabinets were a pain in the butt but it was all worth it in the end. Your mom is adorable and the two of you are so lucky to have had this time together. Well done, Danie!
What a great way to spend time with Mom! On those cold winter days she will look at it with love for you remembering how much fun you had building it. I love the color selection and I think it just made that corner look like a library. This made me miss my Mom so much! Never take the time together for granted. I just love how creative you are and roll with the punches.
Honestly reminds me of a fallout library, love the eclectic vibes, it’s so bright now, the spaces looked so dark before, would love to see another room done in your moms home
This was a wonderful video! I love what you did to that space. No one would ever want to leave once they were settled in that chair. And doing it for and with you mother was just lovely.
I've seen a couple of your videos over the years, but this video is so sweet and wholesome. You empowering your mom is amazing. I think a lot of people (myself included) don't feel confident when using power tools. It was just nice to see you telling her she can do it.
I can't even name a favorite thing. The whole thing has such a cozy vibe and I think your mom will really enjoy it. The green color on the cabinets is so pretty and I also love the colorful rug. It's a beautiful space to relax and read during the long Canadian winter.
That’s awesome! Love the bookshelf and the rustic paint technique on the walls and that perfect green. Your Mom rocked! I hope you do some more projects together 🥰, loved it.
My favorite part is the memories of this special time you've spent together, the laughs along with blood sweat and tears, you will carry it in your hearts forever.❤ Btw...AWESOME JOB!! GIRL POWER!!🙋❤
Paint was the right choice. I wasn’t sure about the white on the walls but it really all came together in the end. I appreciate when you show things not going to plan. Makes us all feel less alone when it happens to us
Fr I almost never like the results when people paint a natural wooden wall, but this one is a big exception! Well done! You and your gorgeous mom look so much alike, and so happy to be together. I miss my mom. She is still here in spirit, being a part of me. Anyway! Love your channel sm.
Such a wonderful transformation with two lovely ladies. Have I told you how much I love your hair Dani? Well, I do. A lot. lol. Enjoy your reading book mama.
What an amazing little reading corner you’ve made together. The built-ins and that gorgeous chair you thrifted are everything! I love that you and your Mom did this together. Bravo ladies.👏❤️👏
Lovely! I really enjoyed watching a mother/daughter bonding and being creative together. The only thing I would have changed is having that cozy nook in my house!!🤣
May I say that the problem solving skills in this video is so on point!!! Like giiiiiiirl you got bumped multiple times and you just went and takle each one of them!!! I strive to be able to be this creative and unstoppable!!! Also the picture frames on the corners oh my goodness so so cool😍 and the rug!!! The rug is gorgeous!!!❤ amazing reading nook, such a hard work!!!! Amazing
Wow, Danie! This look great. What I like most about this transformation is that you are not only giving your mum something cosy and aesthetically pleasing, but you are giving her a space to do what she loves. A hope within a home... What a gift. Well done to both of you!
That warm green was the PERFECT color for that space! I think the only thing I'd add is an ottoman to put my feet up while cozying up with a good book. 😊
What a lovely video, Danie, with you and your Mom sharing in the transformation of her cozy reading nook. I love it!! It is so delightfully warm and inviting. Well done! And kudos to your Mom for stretching out of her comfort zone and adding to her skillset. Hugs to you both. ♥♥ (and all the puppies, too. 😊♥)

My favorite part was the quality time you two spent together.
Same here and I'm focusing on that so I don't remind myself how sore my body was after that transformation LOL 😅
I bet! I’m sore after smaller projects than that
Project BEAUTIFUL
Mom BEAUTIFUL
Together time MOST BEAUTIFUL !
Great project together, nice to see your mom after so many years, as beautiful as ever, enjoy
I couldn't have said it better myself. You can tell this was a room made with love. ✨💖✨
I didn't think that anything could make me love the "boop" more, but I was wrong.
The double "boop" took it to the next level!!!
My mom's BOOP game is strong! haha
What a memory you two have created and a beautiful cozy book nook. Readers love to see their books displayed, and this corner is exceptional. Agatha Christie winter murder, a hot bevie, warm reading socks, the crackle of wood in the fire, .... Bliss.

Just fabulous 🏴
All she needs now is a little ottoman by the chair. I love how it turned out. And your mom has my dream home. A nice lake front cottage.
Your mom is adorable! You both did a great job! Something tells me that she's going to ask you to help her make the rest of the house and in no time she will operate the tools as a pro!
The green paint was such a great choice! Your mom looks so happy…days with her daughter was a very generous and special gift. (The room transformation is not bad either) ❤
This is going to be epic. You look like your mom. Two beauties diying. Woot woot. It’s raining and Danie is on, don’t bother me now.
I couldn't imagine a better day to watch a cozy reading nook be transformed!
Oh Danie, that is truly, truly gorgeous. As a committed bibliophile myself, I'm so impressed. When you love to read, the importance of having a cosy, beautiful place to read is so important. You knocked it out of the park. The only thing I'd add is a footstool to put my feet up lol 📚📚📚
Oh my heart. Danie, it was so special to be a witness to the time you and your mom had together.
I love the transformation! Oh my gosh! The paint colors are so perfect, and that chair! Chefs kiss!
I love that you empowered your mom to work with power tools.
My mom passed on December 23rd, it’ll be nine years this month. I miss her so much. She taught me to love gardening and anything DIY.
It truly was a lovely video. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Donna
It looks so English country and the green is perfection! Love seeing you and your Mom, a few dogs, lakeside cabin scenery, all the feels!
This was an extremely special video. Danie, you and your beautiful mom not only created a cozy reading nook, you create special mom and daughter memories.❤
When you said "Is that why we call a loony, a loony because it has a loone on it." I as a Canadian who lives less then 2 hours west of you, was about to put on my toque, red and black flannel jacket jump into my car 🚗 drive to your house an revoke your Canadian card.🇨🇦 But I will not. Because I am Canadian and it's not polite to come to someone's home invited.😂
hahaha I mean I KNEW THAT but in that moment it hit me. I've literally never given it a thought on how ridiculous is really is until that moment.
@@DIYDanie 😅😅
I think this is one of my favourite DYI makeover I have seen on your channel. It is so beautiful 🤩 what a great memory to have with your mother. I hope this isn’t the last project you’ll be doing together in the cottage. 🤞🏻
I adore that green so, so much. This cabin looks like a wonderful little home. Such a pretty setting!
How lovely and warm a nook! The only thing still needed is an ottoman under the sail boat painting for extra seating when you pop in for a chat.
I love the design of the bookcase without doors completely across the bottom. The time & effort you two spent together will be treasured today tomorrow& forever. Thank you for sharing this endeavor with us. Dani you are extremely talented & a joy to watch & learn.
Wow! What a phenomenal transformation. You are both talented and a great teacher in the making! Really a true English feel. Congratulations 🎊 👏 the green is so perfect with the brown leather recliner. Great price! Denmark 🇩🇰
I adore the loon knobs! Fits the cabin vibe perfectly. Great job on the whole build. Love from Canada!
Oh my gosh you and your mom are adorable and you look just like her! Beauties!😍❤️❤️
I loved it. But two things I would change would be (both real easy)... Add more peg holes so you can maybe squeeze in one more shelf... and because it's such a dark corner, I'd paint the inside of the shelves and cabinets the antique white (leave the face frames, the ledge/countertop and the doors green). It will throw more light onto the books and make them even more beautiful and visible. 💖🌞🌵😷
So happy for you, in the fact you had straight walls! Who ever originally built the cabin took pride in their work.
One of the most charming and beautiful space transformation Ive seen is a while! The mom and daughter duo needs to happen again. Creating spaces, creating memories.
I never, in a million years, would have thought to dry brush the walls like that, but omg, it's perfect!! You two are truly visionaries! The leather chair is to die for.
This might just be my favorite room makeover. 💜
It is so nice that you help your mom feel more cozy in her space! Especially after she lost your beloved stepfather, may he rest in peace❤
everyday is one step closer to peace xo We are doing the best we can to find it and remember him in our hearts xx
This was fantastic. I love how game your Mom is to try things she hasn't done before, and how quickly you two totally transformed that space into a place that will be fantastic to read in.

well that's exciting news! I hope this brings you some inspiration and ideas xx
I love the mother:daughter videos. Beautiful transformation. Color is perfect.
How cool that you could teach your mom some skills. What a memory you two made. The shelves are EPIC!!!♥️
My favorite part is that you and your mom did it together. I love everything about it, the color , the feeling that you get when you look at it. Wonderful job ladies.
You’re not known for making me cry, but this one….Happy tears. Your Mum is beautiful and so is that space! ❤
I am so happy you got to spend this time with your mom. Don't take any moment of life for granted. It can be gone in a split second.
It’s turned out gorgeous. How fun just to have that mother-daughter time she teaches you to garden and you teach her to woodwork how fun . You are blessed.
This video was so perfect on many levels: great room transformation (I love the built-in, and it actually works better for the space without the doors on 2 lower cabinets), wonderful camaraderie with your pretty mother, and a honor for us to share this warm moment with the two of you! Thank you!
Didn't realize it til I saw this video, but your mom's cabin is exactly my ideal decor style. Rustic, chic, cottagecore, and books galore.
It's just soo cute how your mom was slightly shy in front of camera and in the end you both became like co-stars in the show❤ adorable diy
Danie and Danie's mom, this is so lovely and warm. You two did such a great job. Everything looks so wonderful together... the colour, the accessories, the lighting, all add to the mood. I'm actually thinking it was a "happy accident" that the hardware didn't fit for the bottom cupboards. I really like the middle open. If your Mom has more rooms to work on Danie, you should make a series of this. I'd love to see a cottage makeover.
I love how you both "roll with the punches." Such a heart warming DIY. Perfect for the holiday season! Better than a Hallmark movie. Real feels!!
The great “loonie revelation” near the end of the video… 👀 made me laugh.
I have such nostalgic feelings about a Canadian cottage. That scenery is iconic. I’d love to see more projects in there. The green is perfect and that chair!! What a find. My favourite part was the part that made me laugh the hardest which was when it dawned on you that we call it a loonie because of the loon 😂😂😂. I’m chuckling again just thinking about it. Classic. ❤
My favorite is the camaraderie and love 😊 for each other through the project ❤
I didn't think I would like the way you painted the walls but I was wrong. It really fits into the vibe of the room perfectly. The only thing I would change is her shelves being in my house instead of hers. Lol that was suppose to be funny??? I love the whole cozy reading nook! It is very very nice.

Your mom is living my dream! That reading nook is everything! Well done ladies!
Such an incredible transformation! What a wonderful experience to work with your mom to turn this corner into a space she’ll enjoy for years. So sweet. ❤️

Great job you two!!!
Such a wonderful time together you two had making this space for your mom! That’s the even better part of this project. A memory created together, between mother and daughter!!!
…. I also think you guys came up with a perfect name for your mother’s home, “Cozy Corner”. perhaps, now you can make a sign for outside the house, saying something to the effect of, “Welcome to Cozy Corner”, or
“Welcome to Cozy Corners, or
“Welcome to Cozy Corner Manor”, or “Welcome to Cozy Corner Cottage”, or simply, “Cozy Corner Cottage”. You get the “fib”!
Great job, Danie. So lovely to see your Mum smiling and who wouldn't love a reading nook like that?
Do you know the best part, for me, waking up and realizing it’s Saturday and that means DIY Danie. Searches RUclips, pours a cup of hot coffee and presses go. Never EVER disappoints. ❤
I agree my favorite part was watching you and your mom together!! Soooo my mom and I 🥰❤️ I would not change a thing, it’s perfect and so pretty!! And I love your ideas!! I just moved into my father-in-law’s knotty pine, low ceiling, cozy home not too long ago and we are whittling away at the to-do list slowly but surely 😊❤️ I cannot wait for the decorating part of our remodeling.

What a delight this whole project was to watch. I'm sure everybody you know wishes they had a Mother/Daughter friendship like yours....And she is fantastic and adorable too.
Oh my goodness this turned out beautifully. Would love to see yall tackle more spaces in her home together!
So proud of you two! I'm assuming this is her first time changing up the house since your step-father passed? Hi! Mom. You raised a "keeper". I would love to see more episodes like this one. Also, that difference in width between upper shelves and lower cabinets allows for oversize books to stick out and be esthetically pleasing 😉. Happy accident I say!
Love the cozy reading nook. Love meeting your Mum, especially watching you two spend quality time like this together.
Your energy is fantastic! If they ever bring back shop classes in grade 7 and eight .
You are the perfect person to teach the course!😃🇨🇦
How cozy and inviting this reading nook is. You and your Mom killed it.
After everything you and your mom have gone through I'm so glad you guys got to spend this time together and give her something to cherish and have a cozy peaceful area that can make her thing of you and all the memories!! Truly a gorgeous diy!!
That looks so great! Love the green. Kenobi looks so happy to be at grandmas.
Beautiful. I hope your mom will spend many hours sitting in that chair enjoying her library. What a lucky lady she is.
Loved the cottage core vibes ! A plaid curtain on that window would complete the cozy feeling ❤
This brought me to tears, not only is this the sweetest thing ever, its also so beautiful, you can literally feel the love and care that was put into this space, thank you for sharing this with us. I truly hope she finds many cozy moments within this space.
Thank you, Danie, for allowing us to share this beautiful project. This episode with your mom was the cutest!!!
I loved the whole outcome so much! I never thought rustic cottage could meet dark academia so elegantly. Beautiful work and great teamwork! ❤
OMG. When your mom did the 👍🏼 she looked just LIKE YOU!!!! Toot stinken cute!!
What a work! It is good to see some people actually doing the things rather than pretending doing them as on other channels. An adorable moment between you and your Mum.
I would see a big square rather flat cushion on the floor for a dog, in the same hues as the rug.
I love every inch of this nook. I wouldn't change a thing. I'm a big reader myself so I would absolutely live in this little nook.
Sooo good!!
You and your mom ARE THE BEST! You are the best daughter who has the best mom. What a treat to watch a fun, informative, heart warming, diy video on a dreary, raining day on the cc of Cali. So many times I giggled with you, understood your mom’s trepidation and delighted that you both persevered in the Cottage Core Reading Nook Look. What an Achievements!!!
Sooo good!!!❤
Looks so good! Love that you two worked together to get it all done AND that you left in the hiccups and oops moments so we can see that even experienced “real” DIYers sometimes have to rework plans and that things don't always go perfectly smooth.

Another great project!!
I know those cabinets were a pain in the butt but it was all worth it in the end. Your mom is adorable and the two of you are so lucky to have had this time together. Well done, Danie!
You and your little mommy knocked that one out of the park! Absolutely beautiful
Your Mom loves the same authors that my Mom does!
I'm loving everything about this! Especially the paint colors!
Daughter of the Year!
Good job, Ladies!
I love watching mom’s and daughters working together.
What a great way to spend time with Mom! On those cold winter days she will look at it with love for you remembering how much fun you had building it. I love the color selection and I think it just made that corner look like a library. This made me miss my Mom so much! Never take the time together for granted. I just love how creative you are and roll with the punches.
Honestly reminds me of a fallout library, love the eclectic vibes, it’s so bright now, the spaces looked so dark before, would love to see another room done in your moms home
So sweet that you and your mom did this together. The walls remind me of birch trees. Love it!
Proud of your mom too because she started off a bit nervous to be on camera and by the end was using new tools and cracking jokes! Go Mama Danie!
This was a wonderful video! I love what you did to that space. No one would ever want to leave once they were settled in that chair. And doing it for and with you mother was just lovely.
I've seen a couple of your videos over the years, but this video is so sweet and wholesome. You empowering your mom is amazing. I think a lot of people (myself included) don't feel confident when using power tools. It was just nice to see you telling her she can do it.
I love when pets come and help 😇
I can't even name a favorite thing. The whole thing has such a cozy vibe and I think your mom will really enjoy it. The green color on the cabinets is so pretty and I also love the colorful rug. It's a beautiful space to relax and read during the long Canadian winter.
One of my favorite episodes, every time you two were interacting, I just naturally smiled. That green is the right color in the right place.
That’s awesome! Love the bookshelf and the rustic paint technique on the walls and that perfect green. Your Mom rocked! I hope you do some more projects together 🥰, loved it.
SO PRETTY! Great job! “Cuttin wood on my truck”! Great country song!
All of it beautiful and perfect...I would need one more piece of furniture, though: a foot stool or small ottoman to prop up my feet occasionally.
My favorite part was watching you and your mother having so much fun!
My favorite part is the memories of this special time you've spent together, the laughs along with blood sweat and tears, you will carry it in your hearts forever.❤ Btw...AWESOME JOB!! GIRL POWER!!🙋❤
Paint was the right choice. I wasn’t sure about the white on the walls but it really all came together in the end. I appreciate when you show things not going to plan. Makes us all feel less alone when it happens to us
Mom's a lucky lady. Great job ladies.
Fr I almost never like the results when people paint a natural wooden wall, but this one is a big exception! Well done! You and your gorgeous mom look so much alike, and so happy to be together. I miss my mom. She is still here in spirit, being a part of me.
Anyway! Love your channel sm.
Such a wonderful transformation with two lovely ladies. Have I told you how much I love your hair Dani? Well, I do. A lot. lol. Enjoy your reading book mama.
What an amazing little reading corner you’ve made together. The built-ins and that gorgeous chair you thrifted are everything! I love that you and your Mom did this together. Bravo ladies.👏❤️👏
I would love to see more projects in your mom's cottage! I love it so much ❤
Lovely! I really enjoyed watching a mother/daughter bonding and being creative together. The only thing I would have changed is having that cozy nook in my house!!🤣
Yes! ❤ I love it! When you said most importantly we laugh ❤. Those are the memories to hold on, too.
May I say that the problem solving skills in this video is so on point!!! Like giiiiiiirl you got bumped multiple times and you just went and takle each one of them!!! I strive to be able to be this creative and unstoppable!!! Also the picture frames on the corners oh my goodness so so cool😍 and the rug!!! The rug is gorgeous!!!❤ amazing reading nook, such a hard work!!!! Amazing
Comfy, cozy, warm. 😊
Mission accomplished. I can’t wait to see what happens to the space in the spring.
Wow, Danie! This look great. What I like most about this transformation is that you are not only giving your mum something cosy and aesthetically pleasing, but you are giving her a space to do what she loves. A hope within a home... What a gift. Well done to both of you!
Absolutely fabulous! ❤
Favorite part: Your Mom and you working together. 😊
That warm green was the PERFECT color for that space! I think the only thing I'd add is an ottoman to put my feet up while cozying up with a good book. 😊
What a lovely video, Danie, with you and your Mom sharing in the transformation of her cozy reading nook. I love it!! It is so delightfully warm and inviting. Well done! And kudos to your Mom for stretching out of her comfort zone and adding to her skillset. Hugs to you both. ♥♥ (and all the puppies, too. 😊♥)
🇬🇧Wow your mum must be absolutely thrilled, what a difference!
