10 Furniture Flips: Making A Beautiful Home

[@terriepriest4789]

I don't know how you paint those items like that. You make it look so easy. But when I do it it's hard work. Wow i'm impressed

[@DesertDIY]

This is ffwd so fast it makes it seem like it's way shorter than it actually is. Real life isn't this fast or easy haha. You are doing it right I'm sure.

[@Linda-ii8hc]

Oh my gosh, you are so very talented! I think the china hutch is so gorgeous, it’s breathtaking in the colors you chose🥰

[@jhenniceamorrow5936]

What could be more wonderful and amazing than enjoying a day the Lord has made and appreciating the hard work and creativity of a fellow desert dweller! May God be in your heart and soul.

I have the small hutch but mine is in much better condition and I love it. You do great. Work

Project one was absolutely beautiful

[@fiberotter]

Hurrah! Cool weather is here and time to drag out my furniture, check if my sander works and buy sandpaper, buy stipper and any other tools I need, and get to fixing up the family antiques!

[@DesertDIY]

Oh that sounds like the perfect way to spend the season!

[@HHeirloomIA]

You have been steppin up your game in style and projects!!❤

[@DebraWatson-c1t]

I do so wish my husband was alive because I really think he would enjoy doing this with me. He’s been gone 14 years now and me at almost 67 am having to move a one bedroom apartment so I won’t be able to do work on furniture 😢. On a good note I still can do my crafting ❤️❤️

[@DesertDIY]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Big hugs. Keep on crafting.

[@diysbydar]

Brilliantly smart, beautiful, and so awesomely functional for your family. I loved the compilation!

It's thinner so it is able to lay flatter

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you for watching

[@nitagail77]

Awesome work. You are so talented. I love seeing your little one assist you. Takes me back to when my boys were little. They loved to "help" me on all of my projects. Good memories ❤

[@shellbellexx3]

I had to watch this twice !! You have such a great eye ! I really love that light green color you painted the hutch. It reminds me that milky green vintage glass😍 the funny thing is my style is quite different from that but I still love it- it came out so stunningly opposite from where it started. It also went from being a traditional dark wood piece to a show stopper - you also chose such beautiful pulls and knobs for it ! I loved so many of your projects but that one really stood out because it’s not a traditional furniture color and I absolutely love it❤

[@DesertDIY]

I so glad to hear that! I think that it's really cool that people can have totally different styles but still be able to find the same things beautiful.

[@HuldaVelez-p4x]

Wonderful. Hulda from Puerto Rico. Lots of Blessings to you and your family

Great booth!

Thank you Gail

[@margaretmorris8279]

Would have liked to see the embellishments on the hutch re- attached. When adding trim to fabric I always start in the middle of back and go around never on an edge corner.

[@lauriestorch7829]

The dining room table is beautiful, however I've learned to fill in the cracks. One spill of milk and food it's awful digging out the cracks. Then the milk never seems to come out then it smells of spoiled milk. I love your work , you have a definite artistic talent.

[@DesertDIY]

Great point!

Nice I can't wait to see your store. I had an idea of putting those peel and stick backsplash on some of my bureau drawers they have so many cool designs. I can't find any people that have done that on youtube yet just the wallpaper and contact paper.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Alison. I have seen some cute ones at hobby lobby but they're a little expensive.

I wish you had to cut that headboard off. If you would add a door underneath it it would’ve made a fantastic headboard. One of those tall ones. Been wonderful. Try to try sometime.

[@mistysnyder7622]

Hi I'm new here and wanna say your stuff is super pretty!! How do you know how to do all this? I have a few things I been wanting to do something with but I'm unsure what to do. The one has some ridges with blemishes so I'm stuck on that. Is there any video's where you explain what you use and what why? Like the shilac and I think in the first project you built up the top of the stands color :/ I'm lost lol SEND HELP 😂

[@vickidunkle3698]

Wow that bench amazing❤

[@seviregis7441]

Such a resourceful, talented, cute family team turning out beautiful work, one after the other. Just wear eye goggles too when you spray because the respirator protects your lungs but your eyes have blood vessels that will absorb the bad chemicals, even outdoors. And if it saturates your hair and clothes, you’ll end up breathing it in later.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much! Great points

[@paulawhite5625]

The tile table is goegeous

[@reneemesser2409]

I really like your music!!!!!

[@jeaninebrown1729]

Does the shellac help with bleed through? Thank you.

[@DesertDIY]

Absolutely! It's the only product that does

[@katelord6106]

I love watching this stuff! With the cost of new furniture.... outrageous.... it's a wonderful thing to find a good strong piece of old furniture and make it new again. I hunted a new coffee table....for a couple months. What flimsy partical board....fake wood. I just finished redoing the beautiful ling one i had, painted it a lovely off white....followed my Shabby Chic..... it's gorgeous! Thanks for the inspiration 🤗🌄 Ps...i found one coffee table that was "distressed pine"....for $600.... I wish i was kidding. It looked sad... like a table left too long in a damp, leaking shed.....come on people...Ha.

[@DesertDIY]

You're so right! Prices can be absolutely ridiculous these days! Your projects sound beautiful, I love it

[@katelord6106]

@@DesertDIY Thanks! Let's keep on making the beautiful old...new again. In a world where disposable is thankfully becoming less acceptable, let's appreciate the pieces that have served us well. 🤗🍂

[@gayphares2636]

That decapod Piper would’ve been wonderful inside there. It would’ve been fine and not too thick. You got to learn to use that really make a difference.

[@tarantula1655]

How much can you spray with a can of shellac? Curious to know as a can is $30 plus in my area. Seems steep.

[@DesertDIY]

Do you mean a small spray can of shellac is $30? They are $9 at home improvement stores usually

[@tarantula1655]

No, seriously that is what the can you used is, 340 grams. I am in Ontario Canada. $32.35 at home depot. That's $24.16 US. I am so envious.

[@DesertDIY]

wow. That is really sad, honestly. An alternative you can use is clear enamel spray.

[@paulawhite5625]

Great great great

[@wendybray2482]

What sealer are you using?

[@christinatimney3979]

Hi I have a very old chest of draws that have numerous coats of emulsion paint o n them what is the best way to get them back to the original wood? Thanks

[@DesertDIY]

The best way to remove thick layers of paint is to use a gel paint stripper. Apply it very thick with an old cruddy brush that you are going to throw away and then wrap with saran wrap to keep it from drying. come back and check every 30 min or so. repeat the process until you get down to wood.

[@christinatimney3979]

@@DesertDIY thank you so much will try that you are so very talented I absolutely love watching your videos

[@KimNevelzer]

You could also try a heat gun. It may be faster and less messy.

How do you not get paint all over your carpet? I would have the biggest mess!!

Hi what did you put on the table after you stained it

I loved all your projects except the mirror painting it was good but seashells was a mistake.
