not sure if you'll see this, but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this channel! so many DIY channels are so cookie cutter and follow the IG Influencer aesthetic that makes you feel like you're a failure/slob for not having everything "just so". I'm so glad I can watch your videos for lightheartedness and to see design with actual personality! (also, you made me a fan for life after the community center remodel!) In case no one has told you lately, thanks for being you and sharing your gifts!
LOVE love love!!!! The 2nd poster was definitely MUCH better than the first. I have one crafty tip. You can put ModPodge down, let it dry, then iron your poster (or whatever) on top with no wrinkles! I put parchment paper on top to make sure it doesn't stick to the iron. It's like magic! Keep on DIYing :)
Oooohhhhhmygod. OMG. This is such a good tip my head's gonna fly off lmao. The bubble/wrinkle struggle I endured every time I tried a project like this with the poster...!!! I just went from "yep never doing that again" to "I can't wait to try that again" in the span of time it took me to read your comment😅
What an amazing job! I’m not a Zelda nerd but I’d totally have this cabinet in my home. Beautiful - and you could totally tell how much they both loved it. Bravo Dani! 👏❤️👏
Hi Dani, just a suggestion from a wallcovering rep, prime the wood before you add wallcovering or “posters’. When you add adhesive, the raw wood will expand and contract, leaving you with bubbles. Primer will seal the wood and make it more stable. If you still have a bubble here and there you can often release it with a pinhole. 😊
I'm pretty jealous of : 1/ Madison, whose parents kept a boxed 1999 cabinet around (the fax part was the most pre-2000s thing ever) ; 2/ Jason's collection ; 3 / That they have a bangin' DIY piece from you! 😉 I chuckled at their reaction but you can really see how they've fallen in love with this cabinet!
Jason from the video here - this cabinet is my favorite piece of furniture and I really think Danie went above and beyond anything I could have ever imagined. THANK YOU
What a cool piece! I'm not a Zelda person but I really enjoyed the thoughtful way you incorporated the Zelda theme into the MCM design style and put the little pictures up of what you were referring to. The little creatures in the drawers are so cute. I was translating everything into doing a Harry Potter cabinet and having pixies in the drawers and a Knockturn Alley cabinet vibe with an dark academia style.
I am 61 years old and I am familiar with Zelda via my 2 kids (now 36 and 32)🏹🗡️. I loved this cabinet. FANTASTIC JOB!❤ P.S. my heart broke💔 for you when you left the backing out in the rain. But as I always say "there was a reason for that".
Honestly this is such an amazing piece. You definitely had all the happy accidents. And it's very fitting to have the Shika and Yiga clan symbols back to back like that. 💖
Oh my god! Thank you for inspiring my fiances Christmas present! He's a massive Zelda fan, and while I'm not, I think that turned out so well aesthetic wise that it's a big win. Maybe a thrifted china cabinet could be repurposed 😊😊
This is better than an IKEA hack. Brand new wow. I’m so glad you’re taking a break for all the garage hard work and do this episode I can’t get enough. That glue is great for small craft projects furniture not so much. I’m so stoked to see the finished piece. Is that a new table saw? If so I’m jelly
Missed opportunity to have the drawers have a integrated sound effect going “ya ha ha! You found me!” 😂 but seriously amazing piece! Love everything about it! Great job!
This was incredibly fun, I love it! (It was also fun how it's the Sheikah on the inside in the visible place and Yiga Clan on the back where nobody's going to see it unless they move it, because that's just how the Yiga Clan are, staying hidden in the shadows while everyone sees the good guys the Sheikah.)
Future: If that back poster were backed with a fabric (muslin, canvas?), it woudn't bubble w the Mod Podge. (In mid-viewing. I'll be back w compliments on finished job, I'm pretty sure). Womens + mens: Don't know Zelda, except by rep, but, that is one fun, wondrous cabinet! Beautiful of its own accord, a lovely reference to mid-century (which, ahem, I was very much alive for + participating in!). Danie: Nerds are so safe in your capable hands. (Madison tripped on the force-symbology wooden piece(s) at very first, Eyes Open; it was cool.)
You did an *awesome* and *incredible* job with that cabinet. I absolutely *LOVE* what you did for this *Couple* and the *PASSION* that you have for this *Project* will show for *MANY* years to come. Congratulations on a job very well done!!! ~ JonseyG 👲💖
I love it! You just nailed what they asked for! Sophisticated nerdy. I especially love what you did to the drawerinserts, it will make them smile everytime they use them! :) Thanks for sharing!
Hey Danie, I was wondering if you could share the instructions for how you build this. My husband would love to have something like this so much but Star Wars themed. We have been looking for something like this for years and would love to build it.
To be honest, when she showed the inspiration colours…… I hated them, thought they were horrible but when she showed us the backing with thicker print… damn, I had to eat my thoughts! They turned out amazing! Just hoping you put a protective seal on the drawers so the little fellas don’t chip away with use. ❤ turned out amazing!
What worked for me when i mod podged a poster to the back of a cabinet is you first off put a layer on the wood and let it dry completely. Then you place the poster/paper on the dry mod podge and take an iron and iron the poster onto it with parchment paper inbtween the iron and poster to protect it. The heat reactivates the glue and causes no bubbles! Then you can apply wet mod podge on top
The feeling I had watching this was like with your Batman setup, soooo fun and interesting to watch. I LOVE your creativity and realness. Real people do make mistakes lol
I need to have something like this. It's so creative. I find it hard to mix nerdy things with decor in the house this helps so much. You did such a great job.
The look on Jason's face said it all! The jaw dropping, staring at the amazement that was before him! Both were so impressed and now all their nerdy friends are going to be so jelly! Danie, you never cease to amaze me! I love the fact that you are so genuine, you make mistakes, and always have solution, and just mive forward. I really liked what you did to the shields, now door knobs; so much better antiqued. There was no mention of that cabinet, but that wasn't the focus. Jason will be surprised when he discovers the new cabinet and best of all, those way cool knobs!! You are such a creative genius!! Enjoy your day and have a fab weekend!!!
You never cease to amaze me Danie. Beautiful piece! I would never guess in a million years what it was before, seriously. If it wasn’t for the video I wouldn’t believe it 😂😂
You did such a great job on this! It's fun to see your enjoyment of your projects coming back and your sparkle! And I also wanted to tell your hair is looking really good these days. I hope you are doing as well as you look and I really enjoyed this project and look forward to more!
The look on his face !!!! He was in shock to how awesome the piece came out. He totally got everything you did !!! QUESTION - HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED GETTING YOURSELF A LOGO STAMP FOR YOUR FURNITURE PIECES/ ETC. AND BRAND THE PIECE. TRIBUTE TO A DIY DANIE ONE OF A KIND. You are amazing!!! Karen from Florida 🌴💕
Danie no idea what is or who is Zelda but that cabinet is going to be a COLLECTOR ITEM. Not just because of Zelda but build it by Danie. CONGRATULATION🎉🎉🎉 I love it too.🎉🎉🎉🎉

THANK YOOO
This makes my nerdy heart SING! Your creativity is insane.
💕💕💕✨
My first reaction to the reveal was also, “This is insane it’s so good.”
Insane is right!!!
Or, “this is so good it’s insane.”
What an amazing job! I’m not a Zelda nerd but I’d totally have this cabinet in my home. Beautiful - and you could totally tell how much they both loved it. Bravo Dani! 👏❤️👏

This is one of your all time best projects!!!! Nerdy and elegant at the same time! Zelda and Link are proud of you. 🧝🏻🧝🏻♀️🏹🗡️🎮
I love his face when he opened his eyes. Both of them. Fab job. That piece will never leave their family. 🎉
Yes!! His face was the best part! 😁
Jason from the video here - this cabinet is my favorite piece of furniture and I really think Danie went above and beyond anything I could have ever imagined. THANK YOU
Your face said it all Jason! I'm so happy for you two!
My 60 yo rock-n-roll nerd self grinned at the “Machine Head” album. An all time favorite.
Upside down Sheika is the Yiga symbol! 😂 Loved the Zelda sound effects and the Korok details 🥰
Little Makar being included with all the Koroks made me so happy! Not sure if anyone here played Wind Waker.
Love it or thrift is is my favourite thing you do. I am so in awe every time! 💕💕💕
It’s my favourite series to create!!! 💕
More "Nerdy, but make it beautiful" stuff please!! 💕
I love how excited they were when they saw it. It looks amazing!
What a cool piece!

That’s a fun idea!!!!! I would love to see your HP version 😍
That is AMAZING!!! How on earth did you create that master piece? My inner need is screaming
Does anyone wonder how this channel doesn’t have many more subs? Why?!! Danie is so good and also so much better than others
You always work so hard. I am so impressed with your crafty skills.
I am 61 years old and I am familiar with Zelda via my 2 kids (now 36 and 32)🏹🗡️. I loved this cabinet. FANTASTIC JOB!❤
P.S. my heart broke💔 for you when you left the backing out in the rain. But as I always say "there was a reason for that".
I just turned 60, and I used to play The Legend of Zelda with my now 38 year old son. I love this cabinet!
Honestly this is such an amazing piece. You definitely had all the happy accidents. And it's very fitting to have the Shika and Yiga clan symbols back to back like that. 💖

Designing “Nerditure” is your calling! ❤

Perfect comment ❤
What a neat project! I adore your bubbly personality and your creative approach to everything, Danie.
Enjoy your weekend!
Your joy...... I can't stop smiling-even when all the things kept tripping you up. You're so fricken awesome, Danie!
Danie, your attention to detail is what really sets you apart. You continue to amaze me with your creative flips. ❤❤❤❤
the backside mishap reminds us Danie is in fact human and not a superhero.
This was incredibly fun, I love it! (It was also fun how it's the Sheikah on the inside in the visible place and Yiga Clan on the back where nobody's going to see it unless they move it, because that's just how the Yiga Clan are, staying hidden in the shadows while everyone sees the good guys the Sheikah.)
You are THE BEST at making fandom furniture!!! It’s obvious what it is but without it looking like merch. Love this intersection of interior design!
You made them so happy!! I love your charming, thoughtful touches!!! This made my day.
Oh, this is one of my favourite series on your channel!
Wonderful, beautiful, unique👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Don't know Zelda, but you made her come to live. Love that you keep in the oops. I have watched you for years and have never been disappointed.
Beautiful cabinet! You are so creative! I have no clue what Zelda is all about but it’s fantastic! Good job Dani and team!
This is what I needed after a terrible flight back home-my son driving me insane-a load of unacking/cleaning/organizing to do. Thanks Danie!❤
Future: If that back poster were backed with a fabric (muslin, canvas?), it woudn't bubble w the Mod Podge. (In mid-viewing. I'll be back w compliments on finished job, I'm pretty sure).

That cabinet is a work of art👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love the nerd themed DIYs. I found your channel 3 yrs ago because of the Adult Harry Potter bedroom….I haven’t been disappointed since 😉🥰
I love it! You just nailed what they asked for! Sophisticated nerdy. I especially love what you did to the drawerinserts, it will make them smile everytime they use them! :) Thanks for sharing!
Hey Danie, I was wondering if you could share the instructions for how you build this. My husband would love to have something like this so much but Star Wars themed. We have been looking for something like this for years and would love to build it.
Did they realize that the cabinet was for munchkins? 😆 53" isn't much. To look at the photo on the box, the unit looks larger.
To be honest, when she showed the inspiration colours…… I hated them, thought they were horrible but when she showed us the backing with thicker print… damn, I had to eat my thoughts! They turned out amazing! Just hoping you put a protective seal on the drawers so the little fellas don’t chip away with use. ❤ turned out amazing!
Love it or thrift it- one minute in the video, clicked the 👍button already! The series & how you change the pieces is awesome
Thank you!!! 🙏💕💕💕
I would die for this cabinet ;3;
This is amazing, you did such a great job! I love it ❤
Hearing "Zellers" come up in a YT video was not what I was expecting today 😂
My childhood Nintendo heart absolutely love this cabinet! Great job, Danie!
I love this piece and I don’t even know much about Zelda. Did they like the metal IKEA cabinet?
This is so awesome! You put a lot of effort in everything you do. And it really shows in the end. I cannot imagine them ever thrifting this piece ❤❤❤
Love the new take on the cabinet. Perfect for a collector showing off their favorites. Nice work and so glad I was suggested your channel.
Well as it's not my style, I would thrift it. But for all you nerds....WooHoo.............. ❤
Love that you show the process, even when it doesn't go quite as planed. Its so cute that he really was shocked by it's coolness.... yay nerds!
I don't know how I found this channel but I LOVE THIS!!
I'd 100% love to have this in my home. It's stunning! What a great result! 💙
Not so much a flip as a building an entire cabinet from scratch and reusing some drawers? Great build.
This piece is INCREDIBLE dani!! The mid century modern aesthetic with the zelda touches is 🤌🏻 MWAH chef's kiss!!
What worked for me when i mod podged a poster to the back of a cabinet is you first off put a layer on the wood and let it dry completely. Then you place the poster/paper on the dry mod podge and take an iron and iron the poster onto it with parchment paper inbtween the iron and poster to protect it. The heat reactivates the glue and causes no bubbles! Then you can apply wet mod podge on top
Holy cow, Danie! What a truck load o’ effort! Bravo!😊 👋🏼
That cabinet is amazing. This is my favourite DIY of yours so far. I would definitely love to have this in my home.
You certainly made his day. This was an amazing diy. I would never throw it away
I absolutely love this cabinet, it’s amazing! I love Zelda and never thought of incorporating it into furniture, it’s brilliant!
Love it! The drop jaw look on his face, totally worth it!
The feeling I had watching this was like with your Batman setup, soooo fun and interesting to watch. I LOVE your creativity and realness. Real people do make mistakes lol
That was really cute. I especially love the hidden Koroks. Plus his face when you revealed there's a light to illuminate the things inside. Love this.
I need to have something like this. It's so creative. I find it hard to mix nerdy things with decor in the house this helps so much. You did such a great job.
Love the Zelda cabinet! But, I love Zelda, soooo of course!
I don’t know anything about Zelda, but that is one cool looking, creative cabinet. Well done.
What an amazing outcome!! Love the re-purposing of the original cabinet. What a great concept!!
My nerdy heart just stopped and I'm in heaven
I feel you girl! I SEE you haha ❤️✨
kinda unrelated question, are you queer??? please say yes!!!!
The look on Jason's face said it all! The jaw dropping, staring at the amazement that was before him! Both were so impressed and now all their nerdy friends are going to be so jelly!
Danie, you never cease to amaze me! I love the fact that you are so genuine, you make mistakes, and always have solution, and just mive forward.

You are such a creative genius!! Enjoy your day and have a fab weekend!!!
Do you charge for this? Or is it all out of pocket?
The clients pay for the materials ❤️
Great! ❤ Especially love the sleek metal and wooden handles on the cabinet. 😇💖🙏🙌
Zeldafreak here, loving the cabinet!!!
so cool. so many fabulous details. applause, Danie!
Dani I love this! Sent it to my son he is a Zelda and Link nerd!!!
As a Zelda nerd I love it and I'm a little jealous. LOL
Zelda who? Even I, who isn't the least bit into any of this, am amazed and awed by this make over. Beyond impressive. Well done Dani!!
And this is exactly why husbands need their own den!
Yah ha ha! I'm doing that to all of my drawers now.
That "I bid thee adieu!" at the end was definitely a mic drop! Excellent work Danie!
Geeky/Nerdy builds are Danie's zone of excellence!
With the extra bottom, you made a secret compartment
Did they even notice the metal cabinet with the shields
I love this series. I always love it. ❤
You never cease to amaze me Danie. Beautiful piece! I would never guess in a million years what it was before, seriously. If it wasn’t for the video I wouldn’t believe it 😂😂
I love how excited she was to reveal the cabinet becuase she knows how fricking DOPE it is!!! It’s stunning visually and so cool thematically!!
Dani you are a CREATIVE BEAST!!! You're so damn inspiring!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪✌💜
His EYES 👀 when he saw the piece!
You did such a great job on this! It's fun to see your enjoyment of your projects coming back and your sparkle! And I also wanted to tell your hair is looking really good these days.
I hope you are doing as well as you look and I really enjoyed this project and look forward to more!
Amazing
Beautiful and very creatively detailed piece!! The couple were blown away, Dani really nailed it
Awesome!🏆Excellent!🥇Incredible!😲Outstanding!🌟Unbelievable!🎉You rock!🎸🌸
