[@DebisDesignDiary]

Thank you ELLE for editing this for me I love you sooooooo much!

[@lourinedavis121]

Thank you Elle!!!!❤❤❤

[@sallyannchappell5671]

It’s not the hoarder in you, it’s the artist in you

[@robincivis9501]

If ANYONE walks outta your store without an instant desire to create, they need to get their eyes checked a.s.a.p.!! That store is inspiration personified!!

[@slonecznikdoniczkowy]

Absolutely true! Also. Every time I'm watching Debbie's videos I'm craving to create, changing things around. My girl!

[@alicejump2290]

That couch is like us, God sees the good bones and redeems us! Blessed launch!

[@DebisDesignDiary]

Indeed he does💜💜💜

[@CraftyandChic]

Even when we are worn out, tattered and rotten, we still have life left in us!❤

[@thecreativelady]

Debi, you were NOT kidding about the candle making supplies! Glad you found them a new home. Look at your Dad giving the ladies of KZbin a peek, lol. The sofa and truck look great! Your event will be a huge success!

[@janashe8600]

Debi, You are too hard on yourself! You are an artist - own it! We all love you and are so proud of all that you have accomplished & therefore you inspire us all!!!

[@veronicabone8835]

Yeah! We love you just the way you are!❤

[@mountainfever]

I just wanted to tell you while I’m thinking of it, how much I enjoy watching your videos, please keep them coming! I don’t watch stuff for leisure much, but when I do & really need a break, yours & Blacktail Studios are 2 of my favorite channels to watch for pure enjoyment & entertainment. It’s so relaxing for me. Thank you because I also film videos for work & I know JUST how much work they are to do! It makes everything like 5x as hard & takes 5x as long compared to if you weren’t videoing the activity lol.

[@carolynh.5158]

Debi, you look great without make-up. And you got this. It will all come together, no doubts and you'll have a fantastic launch party. 🎉🎉🎉

[@nahernandez9]

Debi I am so excited because this launch party is My Vacation this year. I am a mother of 9 and an empty nester. I have 9 grandchildren and I am making a point to go somewhere every year. I chose to go to your launch party for my treat this year. I am so looking forward to meeting y’all and hopefully becoming a retailer real soon. You look beautiful with no makeup. I love your space. I pray BLESSINGS over every endeavor!! I can’t wait to meet you!! 🙏🥰♥️🌻

[@mayyakayya4766]

Debi, youre not a hoarder, youre an ARTIST, CREATIVE and INSPIRATIONAL . Love love love ALL what comes out of your exceptional hands !❤💛💜💚🧡💙

[@mbowman4436]

I can feel your stress, BREATHE, you have this. Everything is beautiful!

[@Thatsinteresting363]

I nabbed a stunning antique hardwood sofa and chair from someone who was taking it to the dump. It’s hand carved with the most beautiful lines. My goal is to do a deconstructed shabby french makeover on it. And I’m excited because I’ll love its history and it’s imperfections. I’m always so excited when others see the same beauty in things that I do. It keeps my soul inspired and alive.

[@lindacastro6625]

Thank you for sharing your struggles and your accomplishments. Hearing someone as creative and talented as you are talk about how difficult a project was for you may be the most inspiring thing of all! I hope your opening is wildly successful! ❤️

[@wendy833]

Love the clean out, everyone! Debi, I think a ghost, cat, or skeleton in the truck would be cool.

[@emilygomez9149]

Oh my, you guy's have put in alot of work! Your poor Dad, he looks exhausted, make him rest, please! Its coming together, great job! Looks so good! Best of Luck!

[@kellihull7600]

Oh WOW Debi!!!! Your BEAUTIFUL shop is looking FABULOUS!!!! So many helping hands making your dreams come true! I knew the truck story just from looking at it! I have to say I laughed HARD when you said “I read the directions, but…I decided to try something else…” 😂 SO ME!!!! I gotta tell you, you are beyond creative, your heart is pure and you shouldn’t talk bad to yourself! Embrace how God made you! If I hadn’t lost my job, I’d have ventured to California on a fun solo trip! Excited to see your inlay! ❤

[@alicejump2290]

So understand the desire to be there, sorry about the job loss! I had a bad job loss a few years back, later I realized I would have stayed there forever, hindsight made me glad I lost it! God had a better plan!

[@vickiewest1199]

I totally understand why you would want to save the sofa. I would have too! Btw you don’t need makeup!

[@lourinedavis121]

Girl you are like me. So many turn up their nose when they don’t see the vision. Then are impressed when it all comes together.

[@mountainfever]

& I agree, you look FINE without makeup. Don’t let not having it on stop you from getting good clips, it all goes together!

[@maureenmaureen713]

Please stop being so hard on yourself Debi. You INDEED were born to do things “incorrectly” SO that you can create and teach! ❤️ the truck AND the story you created for it. You will get everything done by event day. Looking forward to hearing about it. Prayers, Love, & Art, always. 🙏🏻❤️ 🎨

[@lesta.artist]

You always bring so many smiles to my face that I normally have to go back and watch a second time! I’m so glad I found your channel! ❤️😁😊

[@outofwackk]

Everything looks beautiful, I can't wait to see it all in PERSON.

[@Leomoonmom5]

❤ u Debi!! Wish I could go to the launch party!!! Prayers, hugs and love from NW Michigan!!!!

[@Barbara-JT]

I'm glad you kept the couch, I know it looked like a basket case, but I saw the beauty in the bones of the piece as well. It's the foundation to something that was once someones creation, without those bones, it could never be. I love the way everything is coming together, and so excited for the big day. It will all get done and will be a huge success, Debi!! It looks amazing so far, wish I lived closer, but I will have to admire and dream, 😊from afar in Ohio!!

[@yumikodebold6197]

Elle great job on the editing. You girls will be ready. This is organized chaos and you got this Debi ! ❤

[@diggin-usa3863]

skeleton would be great, add some pumpkins and sunflowers on the hood. I think it would look great!

[@stellaroseboutique]

Debi I am so proud of you, Dad Bobby Elle and every single person that has worked so hard for the release party! Heading over to the candles & looking at her wholesale section!

[@cosmeticsandpurseswithevelyn]

Cottage Shabby Chic artistic paradise you all did a great Job! Took a long time with hard team work but its all worth it. Congratulations your almost there anyway....Thumbs Up 👍

[@lechat8533]

I can`t imagine the costs of such an event... It`s incredible what you are able to put together.

[@CraftyandChic]

Ebbie, you are AMAZING! Your creativity and vision are just off the charts!! Cheers to your new venture and to all those who support you! Your team is the BEST! From grandpa to Ellie, Bobby and all the ladies, kudos 🎉 🎉🎉

[@tmerglewski814]

Debi I’m praying for you sister. I myself have done quite a few paint inlays now no I’m definitely not a pro but since I decided to unbrace the imperfectness of the paint inlays it’s been a new world for me 😬🤗😘🙏🙌 Ps the truck out front is perfection 🥳☺️

[@TheTurquoiseIris]

Way to go, Elle!! Your team will pull it all together!! The party will be so much fun and I’m so sad I’ll miss it!!❤❤❤❤

[@DebisDesignDiary]

We are sad you’re not coming too. You will definitely have to come out soon.💜💜💜

[@robinsabo6932]

Everything is shaping up beautifully! I wish I were there to help you organize things. I love your ‘story truck’ and what it symbolizes. So very unique and creative! ❤

[@alvaropinales4624]

Just went to the store today and let me tell you it’s the cutest cozy store ever! I came out so inspired to do my own projects! There was so much to see I couldn’t keep up! I could’ve been there all day if possible. So so cute I loved it! And that pink bungalow dresser was even more beautiful in person!❤

[@DebisDesignDiary]

Thank you so much for coming. I’m so glad you enjoyed your time there.!!!

[@lia12345Abc]

Everything looks amazing…

[@dianeedmondson2090]

Debi wishing you a wonderful Sept.30th. Love your videos and I too am that person who has a harder time with artistic expression… but when a good plan does come together…I got it!! Love color, art, and you totally speak to me with your wonderful vision, yay!

[@Thatsinteresting363]

Everything looks so awesome! Wish I was there to enjoy the grand opening!

[@janinafisher101]

You totally need to get a skeleton for the truck! LOL! The couch is perfect in there! But I think you need a plant or a vine growing out of the truck and over the roof or hood or something too (a fake vine, I think!) This was fun. You are always such fun to watch. You've got an awful lot going on but I'm sure it's going to all be fabulous. I wish California weren't so far away! I would love to come to your launch party and see this crazy and fun space first-hand! Have a great last few days! And if you comment on any of these videos this week I will know that you are truly crazy! 🙂

[@DebisDesignDiary]

I’m laying on my new rug for 45 minutes because I just put color on my hair so I can’t really do anything but reply to comments💜 thank you Janina if you’re ever down this way, I hope you do stop by. It would be great to meet you.!

[@janinafisher101]

​@@DebisDesignDiary I'm saying some swear words in my head now, because I have twice typed out a reply to this, and twice my computer has shifted to another video, and the comment has disappeared! ARGH! Anyway, I will for sure come and visit if I'm ever in the hood again. Have a good friend in Encinitas, and visited her several times when she was in Del Mar - but that was years ago now. You and I are birds of a feather... I mean, who can pass up a cute piece of furniture or cool stuff that's left on the roadside, right? Luckily I'm older now (lots older than you!) and live in a smallish cabin in the boonies, so have no space (though when did that ever stop us?) I also used to have a store (vintage stuff) and taught people how to paint furniture! How crazy is that? You are going to be SO happy when launch party prep is over. You'll probably be so tired that you'll sleep for a week. LOL. Have a great time! Thank goodness for Dad and Bobby and Elle! What a family! You folks are such fun - but you especially, you wild woman, you! Enjoy every moment of this crazy last few days!

[@annmark1966]

Im in the uk, this shop is like a sweety shop for artists, what a totally inspiring enviroment...well done! Really beautiful

[@hannahcrumley3103]

That globe light was one of the first videos of yours I ever saw- I fell in love with your style then and have eagerly watched your fantastic content since! Oh how I wish I could make it to this launch party… someday I will visit your store and I look forward to it so much!!! Until then I will have to just settle for enjoying your paints and videos. I’m praying that your launch party goes better than planned - that God will give you above all that you can even imagine!

[@vickyzak-px2lp]

You guys are doing amazing! Your launch is going to be so good! I'm excited for you! Wish i could be there to see it all in person but it isn't meant to be this time!

[@ediedarlenecreations]

I’m doing my happy dance 💃! It’s going to be such a fun day next Saturday.

[@pennywollett3953]

Oh gosh you have the cutest freckles! 😍

[@oreobenavidez953]

Omg I see potential in the raggedy sofa like the part where you seat put wood like planks also the back part and go wild with your fabulous paint colors

[@BrunetteVignette]

When you were outside near the truck you mentioned a chandelier and I instantly had the image of a chandelier hanging from inside the truck cabin. Was that your idea? Cuz I think that would be adorable especially if you have some strands of crystals swaggin side-to-side. Just an idea. Country chic! You probably already did this but I would definitely recommend sealing the skeleton of that couch that you put inside the truck bed just to protect it.

[@DreamingCatStudio]

Wowowow! It’s all looking so good! I’ve always loved the colors and it’s even better than before. I bought one of your globe lights! It’s in my guestroom/office, as is the beautiful lamp your sister painted and stenciled. I wish I could be there for your opening-it’s going to be EPIC! Love to you and all the fam. ❤❤❤ Oh yeah I agree you look great without makeup-those freckles are so cute!

[@veerani]

Wow you pointing out that globe lamp was made 6 years ago made me realize how long I’ve been watching your channel!

[@artistikitty]

That yellow framed vintage painting is an amazing find! 😍

[@pattys7429]

The cottages are so cute. They look like a fun time.

[@martas9258]

[@cheryldimatteo9046]

You can use that truck as your tombstone when you die. You can call it Debbie and her horde in the afterlife. ❤😊

You look gorgeous a'natural! ❤❤❤can't wait to try your new paint! I hate acrylics

[@BE-bs8oe]

Bon courage for the party, those celebrating will be in a happy place! To my adhd hoarder creativity galore all over the place sister...: Listen more to your Dad, I do get the look of the truck, but other things had to be focused on and mould is a serious HEALTH hazard. You've got some serious adhd going on, not being able to focus on the most important urgent vital stuff, as an artist, picturessue staging then gets priority because it calms u and satisfies our needs of a reassuring, soothing environment. Thank you for creating momentum. Your Dad putting that sofa on the truck must have bern shg. Shg called pure love , respect and peace. Listen to your niece, let her do the editing, she masters all that very well. Bravo for letting her have a go once again! Listen to your beauty and let your skin " à l'air", you look superb. But U knew that. Breathe , my Dear. Welcome , my Dear and enjoy the new meet up. Bienvenue à tous les nouveaux D.i.y. Pintura afficionados.

Sometimes you just have to let things go. Sure, there could be potential in anything, but when you have to much stuff to begin with you just have to let some things go.

[@lechatbotte.]

Not everything is worth saving despite what people think. Saving a piece isn’t lol it’s delaying the inevitable. I think most creative people struggle with this we see potential. We have a need to beautify everything. The best solution is what you’re doing with the wax give it away. Knowing when to walk away is the hardest decision to learn. That couch doesn’t need saving lol. People do things don’t.

[@DebisDesignDiary]

people do need saving! myself included, thank goodness we have a savior! love you Lecha!

[@lechatbotte.]

@@DebisDesignDiaryAmen to that my sweet friend. I had to train myself, since my house is small enough to reduce a struggle for sure. If it’s not practical I give it away. Except my art work that’s why my basement is a disaster lol I love you Ellie Danielle, Dad Levi and Bobby

[@trulyblsd1]

Of course the skeleton will need a hat!!😊

[@sisita41]

I agree with Bobby.

[@elainefrick8955]

Think we have the same problem. I’m trying -4 out 1- in A local garden center had a wire frame of a donkey or cow and it was beautifully covered with mosses and succulents. would you be able to do that in your climate? Maybe you don’t have enough humidity. Both a blessing and a curse.
