Don't get me wrong, when it's done well it's done WELL so DIY can be a good option, it's just a matter of knowing when and where.

The flush narrow baseboard looks just like a MOBILE HOME.
Repeat, my friends, "I don't have to keep my bad DIYs. I don't have to keep my bad DIYs." Good DIYs are built on failures, but we don't have to immortalize those failures.
Before YOU Trash them, Bad DIY's can be used to figure out what went wrong??!! 🤔
Design Daddy: “This is the last one. Please be good.”
Lone Fox: “You called?”
Hahaha! It’s like he knew 🤍
Not going to lie, I don't like his coffee table
I don’t like his diy’s
@@anabelharos643 same. His coffee table with the knob feet made from bowls looks entirely too cheap and can tell it's diy. You know you've gotten diy right when it doesn't particularly look diy.
Dude you can't compare a random tiktok DIY'er to Lone Fox, he's literally the god of DIY🤣
That table looked cheap.Thumbs down.
Yes the table was made from cheapest materials possible but it's his creativity that matters
Flush trim looks like the trim in mobile homes to me lol
Cubicle walls at work, too! Also, think of cleaning all the dirt out of those tiny spaces.
The minimalist flush trim looks horrible. So freaking cheap. Reminds me of the rubber base boards offices put in over carpet
OK, the epoxy floors are terrible, but imagine how fun it would be to slide around in your socks. 😂
until you fall.
I'm just wondering how long it will take to completely off-gas.
The private jet cabin though. I hope it comes with a turbulence switch for a more realistic experience.
And a Boeing door.
Hahaha! Agreed, maybe it knock some sense into her 🤣
I tried caviar once, it was like "The Emperor's Clothes" . THere is nothing there. If you like that salty flavor try a snack of Reggiano or Romano cheese, or Castelvetrano olives, or a real pesto . Much more flavorful and satisfying. Eating caviar is like driving a Range Rover, all for show.
Hahaha omg this my reno ❤ Thanks Design Daddy for your approval!
Whole series? DO IT! 😂
Adding another round to the list 🙏🏼
I’m getting into home building design; and to see someone actually have a more refined take on how I see homes and trends makes me feel that much less alone in my opinions. Never apologize; it needs to be said.
Thank you so much 🤍🤍
Drew at Lone Fox does everything great!
Yes, this needs to be a series!!!
Your reactions are enough for me😂
A lot of side eyes and rolling 🤣
I looooove looking and being surrounded by beautiful things, hence why I never attempt to make, paint or install anything in my house.
There are definitely some things that need to be left to the professionals
Phoenix's reactions in this video is the BEST!!! Totally made my day. Happy Sunday, everyone! 🌞
Awe thank you! Lots of sighs and eye rolls 🤣🤣
hahahaha!!!! caviar, and wearing the famous “japanese safety boots” (she thought she was on the beach) 😂.
The landlord special! 😂
Ha, the barely repaired hole in the wall brings back some memories of landlords past.
The landlord special. Red flags 🚩 all around
I have no idea who the caviar/plane lady is, but that was all kinds of wrong 😮
Next level waste of wealth 🥲
Love that you showed the good and bad.
Had to equal it out! There are definitely more bad ones then good out there lately 😅
I love that you also comment on the practical side of design.
It is something that is so severely overlooked in design content.
Plywood is available in different grades, the table at the end appears to use a less expensive grade that's intended to be used as floor underlayment or wall sheathing. For a few dollars more, he could have purchased a piece with a smoother finish, appropriate for constructing furniture.
I want a follow-up to see how yellow those epoxy floors get!
In regard to the first story: my dad is an architect and his favorite story is about a big industry warehouse with concrete floors. After some time the clients complained that there appeared cracks on the floor, to which my dads boss answers: floors can either be without joints OR without cracks. 🤷 German original: „fugenlos aber nicht rissfrei“
That’s our inside joke when ever we come across concrete floors
The epoxy floor reminds me of a photo I once saw of a pretty elaborate epoxy floor in a kitchen. There was a stream/creek winding across the floor with rocks on each side. There were what looked like fake koi made to look like they were swimming around. There was greenery scattered about as well. The whole thing was covered in quite a thick layer of epoxy…
It was interesting but very misplaced. Would have looked descent as wall art though.
“technically aren’t really DIYs, you can just do them yourself” 🤔😂
I like that your main criticism wasn't on objective looks, but function.
Yes to a series!
This was a fun one! And yeah, the private jet one - Oy! But totally totally agree on your assessment of the Lone Fox project - I adore him and his projects but that one did have me scratching my head on his choice for the table top when the bowls were so smooth and gorgeous!
Home upgrades - need those blinds! DIY Disaster video is just depressing because clearly they tried - sometimes people are too poor to just hire someone or do a better job on their projects. The door trim clip is hilarious bc that's just plain laziness and trim is one of the easiest things to do correctly - wouldn't have cost anything additional to miter those corners.
Lonefox is my favorite DIYer!
When i had the popcorn removed on my vaulted living room ceiling the contactor called me hysterical, sounding like he was crying on the phone. He found that the original ceiling had been done in paper, not drywall, and textured over. We had to redo the entire ceiling. Always expect surprises!
Oh no!
We thought our ceiling was fine, so we planned to paint it only. Turns out the builder put newspapers under part of the plaster, and when they got wet, the ceiling bubbled. The contractor doing our renovation was speechless. I asked neighbours, and they told me they also found newspapers stuffed in the ceiling/wall corners years ago and still stumble upon the odd newspaper in the most unimaginable places ever, including around hot water pipes. 😂
I don't like the minimal trim for general use just like I don't like barn doors for general use 😂. Like all other types of trim work it comes down to the style of the house. I would be so full of rage if I walked into a craftsman or victorian home to see all original character gutted and replaced with minimalist trim. On the flip side I would think the minimalist trim would look fabulous in a mid century or any another type of modern architecture.
Exactly, there is a guy I watched talking about moldings being very specific to every design era, within 20 years. "NEVER use a molding designed after 1950- come find out why."
This contemp. molding is nice but extremely modern, I hear it also very expensive.
Picture frame molding is great to accumulate dust, it looks awesome, but they are so annoying to keep it clean
Yeah, that door trim was a mess, but technically there is a way to do trim work with out mitered corners by using the right style of trim or just add some blocks & rosettes !
But the worst part was that they screwed it into the wall. And painted over the screws. I am defeated.
Just started watching today love your show
Actually, epoxy is UV resistant, if done correctly. You just need to use the correct top coat which not only makes it UV resistant but also nonslip (and matte, if that's what you want as you have a choice of matte and glossy top coat). Not sure if the people in that TikTok used it, but I would assume so given that it looks like a legitimate business. I too dislike the look of it on large floors and the idea of pouring it over uneven tiles that may be already loose is plain stupid but epoxy does have some good use in interior renovations. We used it on concrete stairs renovation because due to height limit on the doorframe (couldn't be lifted because of the roof, it is an odd house), we couldn't really install anything other than carpet (no thanks, got a dog and that would have been nightmare to maintain), PVC (no thanks, it was there and looked hideous and didn't hold plus dog would scratch it easily) or epoxy because any more substantial material would make the doorframe too low. Would have loved to have it covered in wood but that would have been too thick. It was a pain to DIY but it works great and looks pretty good when you do it correctly and use good base and chips color combination. :) But doing it correctly cost a lot more than what those TikToks show because you need professional grade epoxy and some gear. Unlike shown in the video where he steps in the epoxy in sneakers and slides lol. (edit: seeing the footwear makes me question whether they are a legitimate business that knows how to do this)
Yep
Love your vids, so much fun to watch
PS tell us about you chair
Speaking of questionable things, it looks like the Cheshire cat is swallowing you up. But your shirt is A+! 😊❤
Why would anyone wanna have fake plane seats in a kitchen?😂
The trimless one screams already mold to me for a non-minimalist household , cause the air behind furniture cant really breathe.😅 But for stairs it will work.
I kinda like the airplane seat thing. It’s like a flight simulator cockpit for eccentric women or a man cave for the rich. It’s kitsch, of course, but if she’s really into that then go for it. She seems happy
If I have a faux private jet in the middle of my house, do I get a cardboard cutout of an airline attendant offering me a drink? But why stop there? Why not have the faint smell of jet fuel piped in and the noise of a couple of engines blaring through overhead speakers to give the real sensation of flying? And of course, since I have to have displays of wealth everywhere, no private jet experience would be complete without turning my second island in my Olive Garden kitchen into a faux TSA line with cardboard cutouts of peasants waiting to get their stinky shoes x-rayed. But sadly I can only dream.
LED light stripes are really tacky. Everything Lone Fox does looks the same; brown, brown, and more brown.
That epoxy was in the Phoenix area. I saw Camelback Mtn in the background.
Love this!…. Can you do more like this.
If I were going to make a video critiquing other people’s design choices, I probably wouldn’t do it while sitting in a trashtastic chair in a hideous room.
Honestly, on that table, I question the stability of the bowls being glued together; I wonder if they will sheer apart over time....
They probably would, and I don’t think it’s strong enough to stay to the partical board, as long as the coffee table isn’t moved anywhere it should probably be okay
More of these pls. And include x.o. maccena texas kitchen makeover.
Lone fox is the king of CZcams. Millions of followers. Reviewing him is silly 😂
You gotta challenge yourself to doing a candy land interior design for rich lux!
Absolutely LOVE the blinds. I want to see if it is available in my country. What exactly are they called?
That epoxy floor was a fail for an additional reason - I did not see 'marble veining' there... it looked like they were epoxying over dirt scuff marks, which would make them permanent. Pretending to be eating caviar on a private jet while wearing $1.50 rubber flip-flops. People who cannot cut angles to do mitred corners on their door & window framing properly should at least learn how to use square corner pieces instead. That coffee table at the end would collapse and destroy any fragile item that was displayed on it simply because the top was set on those bowls without being secured to them. They should have secured the 3 open bowls to the tabletop from the inside, then glued the second bowl on, sanded and stained.
You did seem like you knew about trade, thanks for the confirmation! 😉😉😉
I'd also like the flush baseboard so you can push nightstands and armoires to the wall.
There are regular trims that are super low profile and no need to do it like shown on the video. Great for all kinds of home styles and you can place furniture close to walls.

Haha it’ll be in a magazine next 🤫
I do love me some Jackie Segal..❤😊❤... she is a hoot!😊
The table top is not particle board. It's plywood.
Elsker måten du er. Takk
That means a lot thank you so much 😘🤍
Epoxy also scratches. Easily.
Rich people are gettho and have rich getthos they live in.
If you're rich enough to eat caviar every day, you don't wear *those* sandals. Ugh!
This is true 🤣
Can you do a video on maximal minimalism?
I saw him make that table; I would have applied a veneer.
The epoxy over tile is a no from me
The biggest red flag 🚩
I had no idea that epoxy yellowed. Folks are doing their countertops with that now too.
If it doesn't have UV protection , then yes
Someday you will tell me where you got that glorious striped throne you sit on. Thank you in advance 😀
Yo! That wet paper on the hole should be illegal. What the heck?! 😱
can you review Nigo's house?theres an old video of his house tour around two decades old. .i think he is so ahead of his time.
Ok Black Satin Aladdin
10:43 i hardly knew her🤣🤣🤣
I share screenshots of your videos on my page. I’m building and I was told to start an Instagram account so the builder knows they’re being watched 😉
Love your Barbie blow up chair!
I have a question on the diy framing. Did you mean she should have done floor to ceiling? Or the entire room? I’m thinking of doing a feature wall.
Don't do it. I'm house shopping right now and they are all over the place. They feel dated and I'm sure you will get tired of something like that more quickly than a plain old wall
It should be floor to ceiling or middle of wall to floor and all around the room.
Those are actually timeless. What you think is dated is because they have been overdone by everybody@@katkat5420
Don't people hate being on aeroplanes. Does she realise it's not flying.
This is unrelated, but I have to compliment your makeup! It is always so perfect and looks A+ on camera. That, or you have freakishly photogenic skin 😄 Maybe both!! Either way, you look phenomenal. The attention to detail is not unnoticed 🩷
Oh my goodness! Thank you so so much! I used to be a makeup artist, so I know a few things about making sure it looks good on camera. 😘 🙏🏼
I see you like "Alice in Wonderland"😂😊
Stop apologizing for having an opinion
Sadly I have to say it online otherwise people take it far too seriously. My videos on TikTok and Instagram get trashed on by some people when I “voice my opinion” 😅😅
@@mrphoenixgreythose people are soft and should watch programming for toddlers instead
Tiktok is all trash in my opinion@@mrphoenixgrey
Ansel all of our questions!
Adding a blank abstract picture in the middle simply cheapened the look
Can I send you photos of my diy 😊? I honestly want your critique!!!
Kaviar Karen
Haha! Truly
You used to sensor those F words before. What happened?
I say more shirtless pics on instagram.. you’re a handsome man with a unique sense of style.
Awe thank you so much 😊 😘
Hello from Serbia. Have you considered getting rid of that armchair? Just saying 😊.
I have a new one ordered and coming soon!
That epoxy is wasteful, toxic and tacky. The off gassing is unhealthy.
Also covering stone floors or counters with that crap is wasteful. Putting artificial over natural is not a good look.
There is character and then there is badly done.
Hi can you please take a look at ryan murphy house
That coffee table is scribble terrible I'd throw that shit out.
Bespoke be broke.
Who always skips is unnecessarily long intro 🙋🏽♂️
Please. Please, please, please don’t fix your trim using screws. No mitres + painted screws = 🫣
so....is it just me or does DD look like he's sitting in a woman's lap?! 😆
Please rethink your chair. ❤️ It's distracting and detracting from the words you say.
This chair is giving me vertigo. It doesn’t translate on video. You are a designer, please choose a different chair.
The nouveau rich plane seat is definitely the worst one. Lots of money down the drain for a tacky result. @lonefox is brilliant!
