Thifted Decorating makeover / how we styled what we bought

[@DebisDesignDiary]

learn more about my online stencil course here :) hope you can join us! courses.diyagogo.com You may be wondering why we have a paid course when we offer free DIY videos on KZbin? These classes are made for those who want a detailed , step-by-step class, on how to paint canvas and furniture. I created these stencils especially for those who want to get beautiful handprinted results, but don’t have a lot of experience. Once I started painting with them I was amazed at how much more I could do with the stencils than I could with my limited skills in hand painting, These classes are approximately an hour long each, they cover so much more than just stencil basics. We will go into combining colors, how to select colors, that fit your personal aesthetic ,composition, blending, highlights, and shadows ,texture, and how to translate what is learned in class onto bigger projects, like furniture, and the refrigerator that I painted.. I am really excited about this, especially because it is a digital course that you can watch over and over again , it's accessible to anyone no matter what country you live in❤❤ I hope you consider joining us. Please note that the class does not include supplies. You can use any paint or brushes you have , we recommend DIY products for best results but use what is available to you. You WILL need to order the stencils specifically made for this class. They are very high-quality made to use over and over again, and scaled for furniture and the hand painted look. You can find them on our website and if you are international, please contact us we can ship them to you.❤ I hope you consider joining us!

Hi Debi. Silly question. Do the course prices include paint or just the stencils? Thanks.

[@candacestarkweather6821]

Debi! Ellie is so funny, sweet and darling! All of you are so blessed to have each other!❤❤❤❤❤❤

These things remind me of the 70’ s when I was a young bride and mother , so nostalgic . I had painted wicker furniture , a captain’s bed for a sofa with large cushions thrown across the back of it .

[@Meekavintage]

That painting is a beautiful representation of your mother.. You did a wonderful job giving it lots of happy vibes ..im sorry for the loss of your mother, i just lost my mom this week .i know your pain. sending love and light to you and your family..

YOU ARE SUCH A TALENT !!!

[@janzitterkopf1630]

Hi Bobby! Love his expression when Debi asked if he should fix the damaged chest! You have such a great eye to find the treasures and then style them!

[@mccutchenfamily3357]

I just found you! Where would an old lady start as in what paints and paint brushes to purchase? I'll be binging your videos and checking into what classes and such that you have. I was diagnosed "later in life" with ADHD and am easily overwhelmed. Takes me a bit to learn things but once I get it, I got it! You are so relatable to me❤

[@alicejump2290]

Classic Debi! What makes magic is being able to see beyond the ordinary and risking using unorthodox colors and finishes! Blessed safe days!

[@drittenberry1]

This is Grandma from Texas. I absolutely am enthralled with everything that you do. You make it look so easy😳. I am so looking forward to your next video 🥰🇺🇸

[@Barbara-JT]

Debi, I am so with you about shopping thrift stores and flea markets, they have so many treasures to turn into works of art! Your thrift haul was amazing! The colors you choose to paint just brings life into every piece, just beautiful! I look forward to your videos and stories, they bring me joy! Thank you for your constant inspiration!!🌺🏵🌸🌈😊

I loved everything you picked up at the thirft hunt. The chandelier ❤just gorgeous! I love everything you do. Your room and home is so fun. I just want to sit there and look at everything. You have a great mind and that mexican part of you with color is amazing. I have the same in my DNA I love the Mexican cups. ❤❤❤ stay well never doubt your talent, cause your have a unique pallet. Praying you are always encouraged to have insight to God's beautiful colors.

[@DebisDesignDiary]

Thank you so much for the prayers! And for the encouraging comments. Color is definitely part of my heritage and in the Mexican blood.❤❤❤

[@robinsabo6932]

I love your beautiful bright colors and how you transform the thrifted items. I find i am craving more color in my own home the past few years and you inspire me with fresh ideas. I made ‘junk journals’ for a few years (similar to the art journals) and it’s really fun and relaxing making paper crafts. It’s so great to see your family all involved in your business. What is the relationship to Bobby? Family or friend? And I really like how your videos are edited. ❤

[@DebisDesignDiary]

Thank you robin! So glad you are adding more color to your life, bobby is a family friend :)

[@jeffvenables4845]

So much color; so much funky beauty. Thank you Debi and Ellly!~Cathy

[@bizzybee852]

One of my favorite videos on your channel Debi. Happy Birthday Elie, you are a sweet and beautiful young lady and your Grandmother would be so proud of you. As a grandmother of five, with my oldest grandchild being 14, her name is Lilianna, I can say that with confidence.

[@lisapieper3598]

Love your Mom picture! This video is sooo inspiring!

[@Bonnie-mc9zo]

As always, you are simply incredible with these horrible (in my opinion )objects that you pick up at these thrift stores and make them into a fantasy beyond beauty thank you so much I love your videos

[@ChristineDuval-cy5ck]

I have a ceramic square type of thing. I thought it was a square tissue box holder, however, there's no hole at the bottom. No drainage for a plant either. I got the idea last night to buy some of your DIY paint and paint it fun, vibrant colors. It could possibly be used to hold paint brushes, makeup brushes, etc....I'll take before and after photos and send to you. Now I need to research where your paint is sold in Tucson, AZ. Thanks for your inspiring videos.

[@ruthiezophia7118]

That painting does look amazingly like your mother beautiful job

[@lindanonnenmann1112]

Oh Debbie, I wanted to cry when I saw your dresser that got damaged by the rain. It was sooooo pretty but WAIT!!! don't throw it away, there's got to be a way to rescue it. This whole video was a feast for the eyes. Wish I had a Koby' s in my area.❤❤ wow!! That purple chandelier ❤❤❤

DIY paint is made of clay. It hears really well to most things. I have painted so many things that are metal super fun and totally transforms the look.❤❤❤

[@mistygeller3193]

SO STINKING FUN!! And so pretty!! I can’t wait to check out your stencils too!! And I’m kinda totally obsessed with your refrigerator! It’s awesome!!

[@DebisDesignDiary]

Thank you Misty! My refrigerator makes me so happy. The stencils and the classes are something I designed to help people create projects like that. The classes are about an hour long each and they go into a lot more detail than I can put into a 20 minute KZbin video, my hope is that the class will teach how to get excellent results that can be applied to canvas and bigger projects like furniture and refrigerators❤❤❤❤

[@dixiehurley3599]

hi there Debbie the trays you showed with the roses on them , i just happen to have gotten four of the exact ones at a garage sale for guess what , the steal of three dollars for all four together !

[@lechatbotte.]

Living in a rural area consignment stores are few and the choices as to items even less lol. You have to have a vision as to what you’re going to make out of the item. Debi you always have a head full of amazing ideas. It makes me giggle that items I grew up with have become popular again. Solomon was right nothing new under the sun. I love that Bobby is in front of the camera he’s part of the family so that’s wonderful. Ellie is such a love. I love anytime you post a video.

[@DebisDesignDiary]

We love you! I think we have just worn Bobby down as far as being in front of the camera now🤷🏻‍♀️ Vintage items were made with so much more love and quality materials. I am so glad to see them appreciated and brought back to life.❤

Loving the first piece that your selling the sketch book hot pink. I love it. I like how you said paint it first on a separate paper then put it in for making designs. It’s so cool.

Love the chandelier where you added the flowers, gorgeous. I was somewhat sad that you painted over the gold chandelier. It was so pretty to begin with. I would have left it gold and added colored beads and drops.❤😊

[@DebisDesignDiary]

I can see why you would think that and normally I would not paint over a brass chandelier. This one was made of plastic. You couldn’t really tell from the video, but the gold was very-plastic looking, adding the paint, and then the gold back over the top, gave it a much better look❤

[@vickinoeske1154]

@DebisDesignDiary That makes perfect sense. I didn't know it was plastic. Perhaps you said so as you did with the mirror, and I was having a senior moment and missed it. haha
