I genuinely sat down tonight and opened up youtube thinking to myself: "I hope Danie made a video. I could use some happy Danie energy right now."

It isn’t that I didn’t care about your change in space. I was very please that you made changes to your space that you wanted. But, honestly!, the best part of this share for me was the joy you clearly took in each step of the changes you made. Thank you. I’m still smiling at your smiles and dancing joy🙂

You called me out on my “room where you close the door and casually walk away from”! *sigh* Gonna tackle it today! Thanks for the motivation Danie! Your art room looks AMAZING!! 👍🏻💕🥰💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Denise S I used to call them “rooms of death” because they both spiritually sucked the life out of you & often were physically dangerous by all the junk on the floor & perched precariously too high. Had both a sewing room & garage like this. You also have to understand whether you are the kind of person that can handle having hidden storage. I used to always organize things into boxes so the room looked neat but then I lost my ability to deal with what was in them so they’d sit unopened for years & I’d repurchase what I already had. So I had to figure out how to have the stuff put away but still know what’s in it either through labels or transparent/semitransparent bins.

Mine is a whole camper that is supposed to be my she camper.

We are obsessed with Ivar items. A DIY Danie Ivar hack to create doors would be pretty amazing.

You’re making me want to organize all of the things. 😍 The room looks awesome!

Well, Dani, I’ve spent the last week organizing my studio, and let me tell you that your room looks empty compared to mine! I’ve got decades of fabric, yarn, and other fiber crafts. Add in sewing machines, a serger, a loom, three antique sock knitting machines.... My quilting frame doesn’t fit in here, and we won’t mention the flatbed knitting machine I just purchased. I loved watching what you did to your room, and envy your wall space! I have windows...lots of windows. And a fireplace. I put up my ironing board in front of that (I will never have a fire in there), and bought six foot tall shelving units to put in front of the windows on one wall. I set up all my shelves high enough off the ground that my robo-vac can get under there. I can’t to wait to work in my organized “new” room!

When Danie said "I feel like I can just exhale" I inadvertently breathed out in the most calming way. Thank you for sharing all the positivity and brightness!

You just got me inspired! My crafting stuff is all in stacks of bins in the basement. I need a DDP (DIY Danie Plan)!

hahaha I like that! :)

I love that your room is real not so fancy not all preppy just real great job love it

My favorite part: the wood shelving. Very functional. I started painting art recently and I am just loving it! You are an inspiration indeed!

Love the trick with tape for hanging pictures.

I don’t know why you don’t have millions of subscribers! Ur so great!

Loved the tape hack. So glad your artsy farts space is where you want it.

You can always add canvas storage by doing a drop down holder from the ceiling (sort of like how people store kayaks?). They’re super space efficient and easy to install.

This looks great. I did my craft room at the beginning of Covid. I also Marie Condo'd the room. It stressed me out for 4 days. After sorting through all my stuff for 2 days, it still looked like I hadn't got rid of anything. It was a painful well, but looks great now!

I started to rebuild and organize my own studio as C19 ramped up and had to put a pause on it to do homebound distance education with my ASD kiddo and now that it is over, I am trying to find the will to get back into my studio full time... your DIY video actually helped me get back a little of that desire to actually do it! YAY!

It turned out SO CUTE! I think my favorite part is the craft paper under the table. Out of the way but always ready to go. So smart! I'm usually using old newspaper for my messier crafts, haha.

I use the Ivar shelves in all my rooms except the bathroom. In the kitchen it holds my microwave and baskets with food items (my pantry), in the bedroom I added a drawer unit and use it as dresser/wardrobe (built in closets aren't a thing in Germany). In the living room it acts as my TV stand, in the crafty room it's for storage as in this video, with many boxes for keeping like with like. In the hallway I use one as storage above my freezer, the 83cm version is wide enough. I love the possibilities and adjustable heights of the shelves. Reorganizing is so easy with this system.

The tape hack to hang picture frames is brilliant! Going to try that next time.

Have you considered adding a paper towel holder as well to under your desk? I found it soooo helpful!

I love your vibe and that you make pinterest mood boards!! Fabulous!

I didn't know about the tape hack! *THANKS*! 💕 Room is beautiful 🌸

All of it is great but the Kraft paper holder was genius!

Looooove your hair, not just the color, but how you do it! Your work is amazing too of course

ROSALYN H. I am in my late 50's and I find you so inspiring, and above and beyond talented . THANK YOU

Ok this is my favorite makeover to date! Love that it’s organized but has easy access to supplies (so important for a creative space!) so functional but also decorative. Love love love 👏🏻💓

Definitely that corner shelf unit... HUGE favorite 😍

girl, i been doing DIY forever, having a father who was a carpenter and I never saw that tape hack! LOVE IT, need it... will use it ... best organizer video for my needs. picked up a few great ideas. Been doing mine similar, but ya still solved a few things so thanks! and your new area loos great and so functional...

I found a counter height expandable dining table at Home Goods a few years ago. It’s huge! I put it in the middle of my sewing space so I can access it from all angles. The base has a big drawer for supplies and a shelf on which my 3 machines can fit. One of my favorite purchases of all time.

Oh Danie you gave me inspiration and a kick in the pants to get my room painted and my craft space organized. I am envious of you I am 3 hours from an Ikea and don't have a vehicle that all my "wants" would fit in. I love your style and look forward to your creative diys.

Can’t wait!!!! I’m very Obsessively fan of the Wizarding World 🧙🏻‍♂️💫✨

U have such a warm personality. Really admirable

You know Danie, I am reasonable organised. Then my kids dropped of stuff, one went smaller, other went anti squat as Northern Europe has a housing problem in big cities, studying, and a small dorm room, and mom's attic and shed is overflowing with "not my stuff". Even in my cellar is porcelain of one of them as it doesn't fit in the kitchen. I honestly need Marie Kondo to talk to my kids. Love your new craftroom. Organised, cosy and spacy. Well done.

i am only at 2min..but i know this will be soo satisfying..cause we neednmore disastrous rooms like this..

Very inspirational. I love that you show to cut in first when you paint. That's what I do. ☺️

Love the craft paper roll under the desk !!! 😃 Awesome space

Finally! A before video that actually looks like my art room lol. I have been watching all of these videos where the room isn't even messy and I'm like come on this is not even realistic or helpful for me. Thank you for sharing your actual mess for those of us with real busy lives and real messy art rooms :-)

The tape hack is GENIUS!!!

This was a real treat, thank you very much! In a future video, I would like to see you do that thing you said the new table would enable you to do: " stand up and sit down at the same time." Very intriguing! (LOL...) But seriously, this is one of the most satisfying room-transformation vids I've see, and I've seen a lot!

Hi Danie! I really like how authentic you are, showing your messy room and how you fixed it. Also when you try something, doesn't work and then try something else. Once I watched using an art brush on a chair!! The same happened to me!! XD You are great!

I absolutely love this makeover! Oh how I wish I could afford to change all of my thrifted, mismatched and sagging storage items/shelving. I’m not really complaining, I’m super thankful that I have a craft room at all!

You can maybe at least coordinate them all with a can a paint.

Oh that room looks sooo much better! I bet you feel lighter! Love the desk and shelves!

Finally! An art/craft room makeover that doesn't involve scrapbooking!!!! Yeah!!! You've given me some great ideas for my den/craft room!

I started art college this year but before that I’ve had the habit of collecting art supplies- anything you think of, too many of one thing 😭😭. I’m behind in college rn and I was living like a hoarder in my room (because of the mess after projects). Literally felt it when you first showed that room 👌🏻😩🤣🤣 Edit: Just finished watching the video and I’m inspired! 😌

She has got such amazing energy and is so entertaining that I watched the whole intro, which I don't usually do. So obviously, even if this is my first video, I subbed :)

Wow, you painted a room. How amazing!

HOLY CRAP my craft room looks exactly as your “before” room. I needed this video for motivation to tackle it. Thank you!!!

I love the shelves! They so go with a workroom vibe!

These are the kinds of room makeovers I like the best, seeing creative people re-do their own creative space. Not only does it scratch those reorganize, redecorate itches like all room makeovers do, it gives some insight into how other creatives set up to make their processes more efficient. Not just inspiring how a room should look, inspiring how a room should WORK and how to make creativity as unencumbered and free as possible. Thanks, Danie! (PS that two-panel paint drip piece is dope!)

Adore you! Great room! 2020 has been very difficult and your video's have made me smile and helped me to feel better. Thank you!

Beautiful transformation! The young Danie was just as cute,mostly because of the gap! 💕

So satisfying to watch! Living vicariously thru u and wishing I could pitch my kids stuff and make a room for mine...instead if jamming everything into every nook and cranny I can find. Such a dreamy space,

HOW are more people not talking about that brown paper curtain rod hack that is GENIUS

My office has become my storage area! I am so inspired! 💜 Sarah

Great transformation Danie! I hear you about having one of those "rooms". Right now it's the guest room while we're redoing the bedroom we keep for our grandson here. Luckily no one is visiting during the pandemic so it worked out.

Nice and so inspiring thank you!! My favorite part was the curtains very sweet and they bring so much natural light in!!

Am I the only one who didn't know that tape hack??!!! Such great organization ideas...looks awesome!

This tape hack has me shook 😱👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

So happy for you! This is a beautiful transformation. So much weight coming off your shoulders with each new transformation! Would love to see at least the pile of what was let go, Marie Kondo style, sitting out in the driveway or as a pile of trash bags so we can see the amount of downsizing that took place. It LOOKS like there is a lot less stuff in here. A brown corner cabinet is missing, the rug, too, right? Did any old art or supplies get tossed? LOVE your desk solution that allows you to change the height of your workspace!!! It is great that there are so many height options! Love the backsaver mat to stand on. Love how the cabinets fit around your walls in the corner so perfectly. Love the metal cabinet underneath! Also love the beautiful curtains and trailing philodendron and greens throughout which turn this from a storage area to a living area. Just a great space! Looks like if you need more shelving you have room for it in the nook where you put the red and white wreath. Think I would have put the bulletin board on the same wall with the chalk board and let the space next to the shelves where the bulletin board is be for extra tall supplies or an ironing board, but I defer to your expertise in this. lol. Great job! Enjoy this!

This was the inspiration I needed to organize my space today! I love how motivating your videos are!!😊❤

Danie - your videos always make me smile! Love your positivity and DIY spirit! Keep 'em coming.

Also what is that gorgeous drink you're sipping??

Hi Danie, thank you for some really good inspirations! I only have a corner and the table of my dining room to explore my creativity but I do have a large Ivar shelving unit painted white to organise paints, canvases and other utilities (I mostly paint BTW). What I did, is storing my brushes and pallet knives into the small Sunnersta boxes which can be hung on the side bar of the Ivar shelving. This gives me more room on the shelfs and the option to get an additional shelf as some of my brushes are rather long. :)

Love the curtain rod/ craft paper hack! I have an overhang on the desk I built and now I know what I’m going to do with it!

Currently sitting on the floor of my "throw stuff in and casually walk away" room. It was getting to the point where I couldn't casually get through to the upstairs. 😅 Just going to watch this and hope I can muster the courage to tackle this monstrosity of a room. 😩

I like trestle legs but they take up so much space. It is nice you have storage in yours. My favorite part is the craft paper roll.

My favorite part is your table!! Very cool 😎

Girl...YOU did an Awesome job!!! I love the entire project!!! 😘💕🙌🏾

Love the transformation! I hope you are getting lots of use from your “new” room.

Soooooo satisfying!!! Thank you, Dani!

Organized chaos- beautiful

I love the IKEA adjustable tressel legs. 💖

Just found your channel! What a beautiful space you've created.😍 The tape trick is great! I have a similar trick. But, yours is much more "advanced".😜 The curtains are stunning! Love the texture & the ethereal-ness.💙 And, I have to say...your painting of the African lady is just gorgeous!💜 Ty so much for sharing your makeover. Truly inspirational.❤

Love the IVAR shelving system😍

Oh I like it! One tip: turn the roll of butcher block paper around so it easily rolls onto your tabletop! Thanks!

I liked the the craft paper holder. Now you want to come help me with mine? We just gutted it as it it got new flooring. Its an odd room that is walked through to get to a bathroom, sunroom, patio door, and you can enter from two ways - neither of which has a door. We’ve moved here a year and a half ago and I miss having a dedicated room I can just close the door. My studio is now part of our main living floor living right off the kitchen. Nothing huge but with two archways, a sliding barn door for the bathroom, and two patio doors, it limits wall space. We did put my big 64 x42 antique drafting table in the living room which frees up more space for storage of 30+ years of crafting supplies. I know we need to do the 3 hour drive to ikea for bookcases in our library that we couldn’t use here. I’ve been binging videos for studio makeovers for ideas.

I love how the room turned out! Definitely an inspiration!

I love your enthusiasm!

I am on the 4th painting of the entire interior of a house / condo. I do walls in reverse of the recommendation to cut in edges first. I find that the first ones done are dry when I come back with the roller, and then I wind up having to feather the roller mark out with a brush, so go over much of it twice. No! The roller is the fastest part of painting walls, so I roller first. Then when I cut in under the ceiling and the trim the walls are still wet enough that I can easily feather out the brush over the roller edge, and voila! It goes so much faster and looks great.

This is great! I love the desk tweaks you did! Your videos are great and you are always so cheerful and funny! Thanks for sharing 😄

I love the way the space turned out!

One of the best! I loved the way that you used what you had as much as bringing fresh new items into your space; it's a great blend and really inspiring xx

Oh and love your energy and style lady!

I love the end product. So relaxing!

Looks amazing!! I love a good purge and organize - so satisfying! Love the light and how bright the room looks with the new colour.

Oh my goodness I love the old photo what a cutie you are!!!

It's beautiful Danie!!! Great job 👏😊👍

Dani, this is so beautiful! You’re a talented lady. Keep the weeklys coming, and THANK YOU for the tape hack! 🖤

This looks great!!! I love the result ❤️❤️❤️

You did a great job Dani. The room is indeed serene.

This turned out amazing!!

Love your videos because they are so REAL! I have a room like that and I need to do it also. Thanks for consistently producing quality content.

It looks so good!! What an attractive, inspiring space now!

Wow, what a great work. Chapeau Danie, well done dear

Great ideas and affordable plus you made this project so much fun!! Thank you!

It’s so beautiful! I love the paper over the work bench hack and the priority shelf for current projects! 😍❤️

First, this room looks so beautiful! This tool is welcoming and inspirational. I love how you committed to the change you needed to see in order to have a space for creativity to flow. My favorite is the whole room. I am inspired by you! Thanks Danie!

Such a transformation! I ❤ it!!

Thank you for sharing your creative life. I have a room just like your “before” and now you’ve helped give me some direction and inspiration. I LOVE your videos! Keep up the good work, and thanks again!

So, so enjoyable to watch. Thanx for sharing, the space looks great and is a huge improvement.

Love your makeover - so terrific! However, if it hasn’t already been mentioned, you REALLY need the Observator cross-brace supports on the back side of ALL your Ivar pieces for extra stability. I have several of these awesome Ivar units in my home and would never use them without the cross-braces - even on the short units and with a cabinet tucked inside.
