New Thrift Flips for 2024

[@OwlingDogDesign]

I really like this video. 😘Yes, farmhouse is here to stay and it always HAS been here under different names (showing my age). 😂 Love the grain stripes, very homey. I call all of these tables 'console' because that covers everything. You can use a console as an entry table, a sofa table, etc. I'm from MA & moved to PA so I guess you could say I'm from the northeast. Great idea to add some glue to the lampshade, I'll have to do that!! 😃I keep lamps all over my shop as well, I agree with you on the coziness. Happy new year, Cory - I hope you and your family get better soon.

[@DesertDIY]

You are so wise! Thank you so much. Happy new year!

[@TheJcs555]

Cory...I would call it a sofa table, but I have traveled quite a bit all over the United States and have heard it called a console table and entry table. I am living in Southern California and a sofa table is what I would refer to as a table like that. The items in your shop look like they would fit in any decor style...good that you take that into consideration when you remake a piece of furniture. Blessings to you and your family. Stay warm and safe during these winter storms I hear we are having in the Midwest area of the country right now. 🤩💜🙏

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much! I think this arctic blast will be fun.

[@marlenomahony8649]

Cory, a tip for the candle making. . . use the double boiler method. Rest your jug with the wax in a larger pot of gently simmering water preferably in such a way that the bottom of the jug doesn’t touch the bottom of the pot. The wax heats & melts more evenly, you won’t get that big lump you spoke of and you don’t risk overheating the wax on the bottom.

[@DesertDIY]

Thanks for the tip

[@barbarabaldwin8922]

I got some knobs at Hobby Lobby in their clearance bin for $.79. I got 9 of them for future projects!

[@DesertDIY]

I bet they are really awesome, too!

[@maryarwood8942]

Oh wow, all these projects were so awesome and beautiful. I really liked the green table and the lamp. I would have thought the table was worth a lot more, but hey, I’m not a furniture expert. It was stunning. My colors too.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Mary

[@lynnpierce2464]

Love this flip video. I’m so impressed with how you did the print and frame. Also I really like the lamp and I’m glad you didn’t paint it. ❤

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Lynn!

[@diysbydar]

I luv the table, and it fits all your descriptions for use. Luv your flips! You will be proud of me, I went thrifting the other day, and kept thinking would cory buy this at that price, lol. I did a quick vid on my haul. Gave you a shout out for my inspo to do it for my booth! Oh. Candles, how fun is that! God bless all of you in the new year, dar

[@DesertDIY]

Oh my gosh that makes me so happy!!!! Thank you so much Dar! I will check it out

[@DesertDIY]

Can you leave the link to your video here?

[@diysbydar]

@DesertDIY yes I will. I am thinking I may try to get it up for next Sunday for a quick one. I am trying to post more.

[@kyliemunday]

Always enjoy watching your flips. I had RSV and a sinus infection in October and it took me 4weeks in bed and 6weeks before i felt human again. Rest as much as you can and do your breathing exercises to get the lungs stronger.

[@DesertDIY]

Wow I'm so sorry that happened to you! I know how it feels. It's the worst! Thank you Kylie

[@bonniesmith1179]

Loved how these all turned out. I especially love grain sack stripes. I just think it adds a lot to a piece. I’ve heard of tables like yours referred to as all 3. I think it mostly has to do where someone is planning on using it in their home.

[@DesertDIY]

Good point! Thank you Bonnie!

[@charleneblake1146]

The console table came out beautifully ❤

[@Cotton2Ennis]

Cory you're very talented, enjoy your "ugly duckling challenge" I made wooden gifts for my daughters this year for Christmas and was searching for a large candle that I never found, now from this video I could've made that happen. Happy New Year and pray God will bless you and your family this year from us in NE Tx

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much! Enjoy your candle making!

[@CountieLt25]

Farmhouse is never going out of style! It evolves! Grain sack is fab!!!

[@sonniecampbell1788]

Love all of these flips. Table is perfection with the grain stripes snd those handles. I agree with others, farmhouse is not going out of style. The framed print is stunning. Feel better soon Corey!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Sonnie

[@melodyquinn771]

In my area we call this type table all of the types you named; it depends on how you are using it. I live in Georgia

[@lisapieper3598]

I would say either entry way or sofa table. I’m from St Louis, Mo. Table turned out so pretty! Happy New Yesr!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Lisa!

[@JoyceFrye-vx3nl]

I absolutely love that green table, would have bought it in a heartbeat! And I would just call it beautiful!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Joyce

[@amybucher5439]

I am sorry to learn that your family got RSV. That is challenging! Several of us got Covid but all are on the mend. Absolutely no running because of the clear coat!! So awesome.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Amy! I'm so sorry you were sick. I hope your recovery is quick. I know it likes to drag on

[@debanderson9797]

That table turned out absolutely beautiful! I like how it looks like it has a runner down the center.

[@DesertDIY]

Yes! You understood what I was going for. Thank you Deb

[@diannameyers8163]

Corey!... Glad to see you are back. Hope you are feeling better soon. Love the table🎉😅❤

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you! Check out my newer videos. I am doing much better 😀

I would buy the candle-making kit just for that really cool metal scoop!

Happy New Year, Corey. Enjoyed all your projects. Looking forward to your content in 2024. Blessings to your Family.🙂

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Karen!

Love all of your flips but my favorite was the hidden compartment the lamp I can hide my goodies 😂 Wishing you and your family a blessed New Year 🎉

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much!

The Weeping Willow piece looks like a steel engraving. How in the world do you get so much done with children and a busy home! Love you!

Love all of your flips Cory! And that print is gorgeous! So glad you are doing so well with your boutique! Hope y’all feel better soon! Happy New Year! 🥰🥰🥰

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Kim! Happy New Year

[@kristycullen8287]

I love the grain sack look. The table was a knockout!!!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you!

[@peggygilbertsen9099]

Lovely piece. I think that it is an Eastlake piece ? From late 1800s. Called cottage pieces back then . You did such a beautiful job. Won’t it be interesting to see if any of our mass produced modern pieces will endure as these beautiful oldies have?

[@DesertDIY]

Which piece are you referring to? I think we will see tons of stuff in the dump in the future and antiques will become more valuable and useful

[@peggygilbertsen9099]

[@adaley6104]

I would use it as an entry table. 🇨🇦 You did an awesome job.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you!

[@yk2sunshine]

Amen to the humidity in houston area! Real talk.

[@lauragreen4899]

Only designers say farmhouse is out. I agree with theperson who said "farmhouse" has always been around but under different names and slight changes in look. In the 40s early american, 50s+ 60s cottage, 70s primitive, 80s + 90s country, 2000s farmhouse, cottage etc. Today a bit of everything. I love it all. Love the table! Hope you feel better soon.

[@DesertDIY]

So true! Thank you Laura

[@jamesdugan3079]

Thanks for the spray paint tip about the second coat. Happy New Year. I live in the Midwest.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you for watching. Happy new year!

[@lindasmith5190]

Love the console table. The handles just made it.

[@DesertDIY]

The handles are my favorite part

[@whitedove412sd]

Love the table flip. You really pulled all of the elements together quite well. But please be really careful with what containers you use for candle making. Not all glass can handle the heat when they're lit for homemade candles and they can explode glass shards if they overheat. I bought a homemade candle at a Fall Festival a few years back that was made with vintage glass and had this happen. Definitely scary. Thankfully no one was in the room and the candle extinguished itself.

[@DesertDIY]

Wow that is crazy! I won't be making any more home made candles

[@kristycullen8287]

Thanks!

[@DesertDIY]

Oh thank you SO MUCH!

[@albareyes7412]

Love the table and the farmhouse style

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you!

[@suesmith9202]

That is a beautiful hall table. You did a fantastic job, well done. No wonder it sold for only 80 dollars. O and subscribed.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Sue! So glad to have you here

[@bellaszucs-zagoni9014]

Everything turned out beautiful, Cory! Congrats!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Bella!

[@sylvialangworthy1435]

The grain stripes are lovely! Love the green! 🤗

[@DesertDIY]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Last year I went to a major furniture store in Phoenix and asked where I could see his console tables. The salesman was clueless. It’s definitely a colloquialism.

[@DesertDIY]

That is funny Terri! It's almost lost in translation now

[@erindennis9881]

I would call it a sofa table! I absolutely love the stripes. There will ALWAYS be farmhouses, so I think farmhouse style will always be around. I think eventually it will be considered a classic look 😂

[@DesertDIY]

I think you're right!

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

Your voice doesn’t bother me. I hope you all get completely well soon. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year 🎆🎇

[@DesertDIY]

Good I'm glad! Thank you Lydia! Happy new year

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

As you asked: I’m not that fond of grain-sack stripes, although, your piece looks nice with them, it’s just my personal choice.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Sally! It seems it's interchangeable

[@Tammayrend]

FYI, Bay Rum is not really a “rum” it’s a scent that is used in shaving soap and cologne. It’s herby, citrusy and generally from the Caribbean.

[@DesertDIY]

Oh interesting. I didn't get a Caribbean feeling from the smell but it did smell earthy

[@sandrabrock362]

Love the grain stripe on table. Beautiful ! I was wondering when you showed everything, I noticed some spools with greenery on top. Is the greenery a candle ring ? If not ,can you tell where your greenery came from ? I so love it. I love all your videos. You are soooooo good .

[@DesertDIY]

Yes they are. I got then on clearance at kirklands. Thank you!

[@cathyjackson5959]

great table!.... not a fan of the stripes (because you asked) in this application. But I'm sure many will love it! We all like different things... and that's very OK

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you for letting me know! And for watching. I appreciate it

[@fiberotter]

Born and bred Texan 5th generation. I call them hall tables. I am sure you have discovered the tree spiders. If you walk under trees in Houston area, you may appear as a karate specialist. They are nasty. That hall table turned out better than I expected since it is green.

[@DesertDIY]

I've seen some black and yellow spiders between trees. Big ones. And then the other day I saw a black spider hanging on what seems like nothing in the middle of my yard so I'm guessing that's a tree spider lol

[@maveronicafrias2345]

Con esos objetos creí que armaría un espacio tocador romántico, o un estilo cottage para el baño; también pudo ser un espacio de lectura en una biblioteca clásica (tipo inglesa) o un recibidor con rosados y dorados; se me ocurrió que podría ser una mesilla de noche con un cuadro (estilo shabby) pero no que trataría las piezas por separado, muy bien.

[@jewelsmith5365]

You do such a terrific job😊

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

Great job, Corey! The handles really made the console/sofa/foyer table look terrific, combined with the green and white. The picture is perfect in your house. What did you put on the print-mod poge?

[@DesertDIY]

Yes, it was mod podge. I'm sorry I forgot to mention that. Thank you!
