They both turned out amazing! And aside from saving a lot of money, there is something priceless about telling someone else "oh this? I made it!"

I bought some frames with the idea of putting mirrors in them, and then couldn't find mirrors that fit. Never thought to look for a glass/mirror shop, until I saw this video. Of course, there's one in the next town over! Thanks for the tip!

I loved the arched mirror. Still find it too pricey sadly for me , but maybe inspirational.

IM OBSESSED. I swear you could sell these and make so much money off of it. Thats how AMAZING they look! The metal and wood one has me 😍😍😍😍 Industrial is my style 100% and I'd die for that mirror 😍

I'm so glad to be part of this family. The people here are never toxic and it just brings me joy to be here. My goal is to buy atleast one merch when I finish school and get a job. 😁😂

Good job, Danie. My dad was an excellent glass cutter - had one tool he used forever. The neighborhood guys would come over dragging their feet and their pride to give their work to Joe after they had broken numerous windows and mirrors.

Danie, at some point I thought: "Girl, you need to clean the mirror before taking these close-up final shots!" But then I realized that my screen was dirty... Well done, I love these kinds of videos where you show us what works and what could be improved... Very relatable!

As someone who works at West Elm and sees mirrors like these on the daily, you absolutely NAILED these! Especially the industrial floor mirror with the wood paneling!

To save yourself some energy & some ear breaking squeak-age: metal files usually only work in one direction, so going back & forth doesn't do anything like sandpaper would. Just go one direction again and again. I promise it's faster & easier.

Loooove this new series! I appreciate that you're taking time to build quality pieces that will last too. Sometimes the "designer dupe" videos have really cool looking results but I am skeptical of how well they'll actually hold up. Also cutting glass is one of my favorite things in the world. It's so satisfying... But cutting that huge mirror would have made me have a heart attack haha

Thanks. i really enjoyed the start to this series. One tip for the gold paint lovers: Traditionally gold leaf was placed over a red painted surface. If you paint gold over red, the gold feels more metallic, vibrant and real. This is especially true if you are brush painting it on. If you are going for a silver look, paint the silver over a dark cyan blue.

These are great! Re: Painting both sides of things. I love to paint sets for local, amateur productions of theater shows (back when we had theater in person) and I often get poked fun at for painting well beyond the sight lines, but I always assume it's better to be safe than sorry, especially if the set designer changes their mind halfway through a build. (To be honest, the set designer is often me, and I'm notorious for changing my mind). I love these.

I'm not finished watching, but you just put the price up for the wood stain & I love you for it. It looks like you already had the wood stain but I love that you recognize someone else might need to buy it & include it in their final DIY price. You have seriously become my new favorite person in the entire world for that Danie.

I really appreciate your attention to detail and as I watch a lot of other diy channels here on KZread and have seen many cool “dupes” but I love that you mentioned the quality and how that’s an important thing when trying to recreate a product . that’s one of the big reasons I love your work and know I can trust you to finish a project in a quality way. Keep it up please! Beautiful mirrors I actually think your arched one is more beautiful than the original.

🎊Congrats...you did it!🎊 💰Frankly, both the West Elm boutique & your DIY prices were more than my 💲budget💲 could stretch for decor. 🤔 Found a huge floor mirror @ a garage sale for $20, so keep your 👀eyes pealed for a bargain! It's in the shape of your first project, but it was set into a frame like your oval mirror. This one has a wide frame, but it still feels rather flimsy for the weight. 🛠One of these days, I'm gonna get an mdf or plywood piece to attach to the back for added stability😊. 💜Love💜 the metal & wood mirror. The Mod Industrial Farmhouse vibe speaks to me over 70s Boho Chic. Both mirrors turned out nicely❣

Welding is really fun. Definitely give it a try when you get a chance! It’s a trade so its not easy but I imagine your crafting skills will help in learning. I took a class in college and learned three different types of welding. Happy DIYing.

What’s so funny is that my best friend and I were searching for floor mirrors and this video popped up with both the styles we love. Thank you for creatively reading our minds! So good.👍🏽

The metal and wood is just the right style for my new guest room. Being saved.

I love that you showed us the ins and outs of the tools! Not a lot of people do that and this made thinking of using these tools way more accessible! Thanks so much!

For the next one I would be very interested to see what it might cost to rent the machinery included in the final tally. I know these guys can be rented from your hardware store, I just haven’t looked deeply into them. But that would be a barrier for me and the average Jane to DIY’ing this myself, since I don’t have these things on hand. Thank you for doing these! It’s very encouraging to see the ins and outs of cost ESPECIALLY if you can match quality.

This one I watched all the way through without sorting for a scrapbook crop. I loved the tall straight mirror - Fabulous!!!!

Vince is adorable! Your family is seriously the cutest.

Thank you! Just scored a $10 arched floor mirror that needs reinforcement. This is heaven sent.

I have been eyeing that first mirror for... SO LONG. Now I know how to make it myself and have the wood colour match to my existing furnishings! I love this.

Your mum’s house is so idyllic! Just beautiful. And the garden…😍

I have to admit.....I can’t ever imagine paying $1000- for a mirror! How nuts! Your dupes......perfect ❤️❤️

As someone who just bought the arched mirror from West Elm ($549 USD), I would never do this. I could never lol! But it was fun to watch, and I love your parent's support and help.

Lol, the second one totally made me think of making a Mirror of Erised frame out of MDF!

For those of us who don’t have the space or tools to do this - for the 1st DIY you can literally just get the Ikea Hovet mirror (£90!), spray paint it black and stick two pieces of stained wood at the top and bottom... Edit: Having seen the cost now, I think I’d go Ikea even if I had the tools - it would cost a third of the third 😂 And for the Arch mirror - Zara, Dunelm and Wayfair 👌🏽

Everytime you say "but, I'm a perfectionist" I say "and I appreciate it"!

Wow! ... Uh-May-Zing! You made these look so good so easily, you really should gift that rounded edge to your beautiful Mum!

Nice Job!!!!!! I found an old mirrored sliding closet door (years ago). It was framed in UGLY rusted medal but the mirror was great! So, I had to come up with something to fix that crappy frame. After counting all my pennies....still didn't have any way of buying spray paint. It just so happened, I inherited my Dad's tool boxes when he passed. I had a "light bulb" moment! LOL!!! He had 2 rolls of plumbers tape that were stainless steel in color & 2'' wide!!! Problem solved!!!!! I've had that "full length mirror" in my walkin closet for years now!!! Just LOVE the way you are able to come up with hacks & DIY solutions!!! Love your channel girl!!!!!

Hi Danny, I have been making signs my whole life and we use MDF board a lot. We would sandblast it to make a really interesting texture. To seal it we would use glue and water and then paint after that. just an idea for you. Love your work.

I actually like the wood frame style better than metal. Great Job girl.

Those mirrors turned out Fabulous!! Hands down DIY ALL the way!! As a single mom of 5 kids, if it'll save me $5, I'm DIYing it!!💕

Gosh , that dog is just so strikingly beautiful

I'd never pay those kind of prices so your DIY versions fit the bill for me, and they are beautiful!👍😊

Danie's total for the arched mirror was $223.41, but you can find a dupe of the arched mirror on Amazon rn for only $170 or $219 (depending on which size you choose, the skinnier size is cheaper). For people who don't have access to a lot of tools, a studio, etc finding & buying a dupe may be a better option, so that's what I did. It was fun watching it be made though.

Omg girl your TRANSITIONS??? SO GOOD, SO SMOOTH

I have been thinking about the first mirror for months, it is pinned all over my Pinterest! I was contemplating diying my Ikea Hovet mirror to look like it because the frame of the Hovet mirror is aluminum that I spray painted black, and all I would need to do is add the wood piece to the top and bottom. I think your creation looks 1000 times better but the Ikea idea could be a more budget-friendly but lesser quality hack!

One could also use the larger Nissedal mirror in Black and just add the stained plywood. Yes, its Not Metal but you'd still get the effect for a Fraction of the cost. Espcially because you can often find it seccond Hand on craigslist and stuff.

DIY SaturYaY... instantly puts up a smile on my face everytime...

Love how you did the break downs and including the prices throughout the video. All together really bomb editing! Def going to try to make the first mirror. Also him breaking the glass with his bare hands made me SO nervous

Lol, the real question is”Did your Mom get to keep the arched mirror”? Beautiful work!! Love them both . TFS😊😊

Oh my Danie this is a project I wanted to do, I have been trying to figure out how I could accomplish it. Thank you!!

I’m a machinist and I file a lot of metal so I wanted to say that it’s easier to file in downward motions only. Otherwise you could risk pulling the sharp edges back up. Hope that helps!

I’m obsessed with the industrial mirror!! Such a gorgeous colour stain on the wood too. You did such good work 💕

That first mirror fit's so perfectly in that room, that I almost didn't see it leaning against that wall....I was like wait where is it!!

Your dad seems like such a sweet man. He was so willing to help out. Great video!🙏🏽❤️

I love dupes! Your series should be a hit! I wish I could remember what I had thought about suggesting, a while ago! I did mention to another U-tuber, asked how to send it to her but never heard. Ironically, one was a mirror. Driftwood somehow made up the frame. It was a while ago! I wouldn't personally attempt such a huge undertaking but those turned out beautifully! I bet, side by side someone couldn't spot the dupe! Some dupes are really great but differences show! Good luck finding great inspiration. I'm going to see what else ya got! LOL.

Great job, it´s so sweet that you are diying with your family, love it!

Danie you definitely nailed it !!! Love both mirrors ❤

I actually prefer the MDF frame over a metal frame. Both mirrors are absolutely beautiful. Great job. Wishing you a smooth and happy move. I always pre plan what will go in each kitchen and bathroom cabinet. I label each box with the cabinet name or number, so unpacking is easy.

They both turned out fantastically. I think I might favor the rectangle over the arch, I like the dark wood on the top and bottom. I knew you were in the middle of moving when I noticed your art gallery was not on the wall! I wouldn't do either of these not just because I don't have the tools, but because I have two floor length mirrors already....Can't wait to see the new house, two weeks is a long time to wait.

I’m so glad you mentioned time spent making it. I didn’t think you were going to and was presently surprised - its such an important detail to legitimise the test ❤️

Danie these are so beautiful!! You inspire me every weekend. Can’t wait to one day have a space to build stuff like this 😊

Beautiful mirror and fun new series! Yay for the new home tour! So excited!! Good luck for a smooth move!

You always ask what you like best...too much pressure...I like everything!!! So glad you’re taking us along on your home journey 🥰

Your mirrors are stunning!!! I agree that making it yourself is so much better, because you are being creative. You are also gaining further skills, which is priceless in my book! I so love the arched mirror. Amazing! 😎👍👍👍

Fantastic! I loved both mirrors! Good for people to see the exact process and feel like they could do it too. Great job.
