Wow ugly duckling into a gorgeous swan. Loving this color. Decor is spot on in my opinion. As always beautifully done. Have an amazing week.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it's. Beautiful swan indeed!

[@katrinawilkins-rf9pv]

Love the blue and the accessories!!

[@user-bo8cq9qk3l]

Cory, you are a genius at refinishing furniture. Only one in a million would have even attempted to refinish that dresser. Luckily, you found it and presto! You made it amazingly beautiful, no one saw that coming :) Thanks for another great video!

[@DesertDIY]

Wow, thanks! I like taking on the ugly ducklings 🐥

[@maggiepadilla6915]

I ❤❤❤ that dresser! Blue is my color and you just work magic on your furniture pieces. I really like you finish all of your pieces…that’s such a pet peeve of mine,lol. I learn alot from you and Im 75 and have been painting and crafting forever.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much. We can ALWAYS learn something new. That's what makes life fun

[@judywilliamson2068]

I was not surprised to hear you say French blue. I read an article years ago that said that 66% of all people love blue. Not dark blue but the lighter blue’s. To me French blue is one of those perfect colors that is pretty much is a neutral as it goes with just about everything. Everything turned out great!

[@DesertDIY]

I totally agree with that! Thank you

[@vickieking5831]

Wow! This might be one of my favorite vignettes.

[@DesertDIY]

Wow! Me too!

[@VickiNolen-jh8dk]

LOVE The blue dresser it is beautiful. You took it from that tired red to a serene French blue. I love the gold hardware pulls and decor you put with it. Way to go Corey! Very inspirational.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Vicki!

[@cinmiller1262]

The dresser turned out beautiful .. I can see why that color is so popular !

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you! I am amazed by how much everyone loves it

[@user-pj8us8vx7q]

Its interesting that you were doing a french provincial theme and the picture you chose to stage was a Degas. He was a french painter. And the blue is lovely.

[@DesertDIY]

Yes! I love when things come together like that. Happy accidents. 😀

[@gloriabrown4439]

Beautiful. No other word to describe everything you did.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much!

[@carolinedubose5136]

That chest of drawers is gorgeous in the French blue Cory!! Beautiful vignette!! I hope everything sells quickly for you so you can clear out more items out of your stash!!

[@DesertDIY]

I hope so too! Thank you so much

[@cynthiatillman4171]

The chest of drawers is absolutely beautiful♥️! I love the color & I am so thankful you used gold rub n buff on the hardware. Gold is MUCH better than silver! You always shine sweetheart & I am thankful for all the tips & education you bring to us! Love u bunches🥰♥️🪻💐

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much!! You are the best!

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

You are still the neatest painter I’ve ever seen.

[@DesertDIY]

Haha thank you!

[@roserocks1979]

That blue is a beautiful shade. It can compliment so many other colors as well.

[@DesertDIY]

I think so too!

[@TheJcs555]

Beautiful transformation! I love the French Blue color you chose and would buy it in a hot minute...hence my wish that I lived closer to your shop! But, alas I am coming to you from Southern California! Please stay cool and hydrated as the weather reports that Texas is under that horrid Heat Dome! Bless you and thank you for sharing. Love your videos! You might just be the Queen of Bondo as you successfully use it in your furniture restorations! lol 😍💖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much for looking out for me. We used to live in fallbrook, ca in socal and there was this AMAZING antique store there as well as cute little boutiques all along their old main street and I miss it! They have all closed down now when we visited 4 years ago or so. Those were the days!

[@dah-lv1hm]

that blue with that shade of gold is awesome

[@DesertDIY]

I think so too!

[@melaniebelter1541]

Boy, that piece needed a lot of love. Great job on the restoration!

[@DesertDIY]

It sure did! I alllllllmost regretted buying it lol. But so glad in the end

[@cottageofeight]

I absolutely love the dresser. The color is perfect.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you!

[@ginahernandez3219]

They all look beautiful together. You did an awesome job on the color, Cody 💙

Thank you so much!

@@DesertDIY you’re so welcome ❤️

[@user-eq4sp6hn2x]

the whole vignette looks lovely. my maternal gran had a dresser exactly like that. my paternal gran had an anniversary clock very similar to yours. it's nice to see things I remember when I was young.

[@DesertDIY]

Oh wow! That makes me so happy. Thank you for sharing that

[@larainefleming9143]

Love the outcome of the dresser. The color is beautiful.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you! 😊

[@angesews8110]

Love the colours it looks chic. The picture looks good with the candle sticks. T.i love the bowl and fern. The clock sets it of. Another great job. Thanks for sharing 😊😊

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you! 🤗 I'm so glad you liked it. This is a vignette I'd do for in my own home for sure

[@sylvialangworthy1435]

Stunning! And beautifully styled. 🤗

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you! 😊

[@SharonNickson]

That’s a really great way to save old furniture pieces!

[@DesertDIY]

[@lisavasquez4670]

I am so happy that your shop is doing so well and yes that color of blue is awesome and I cannot believe that's the same dresser 👍💜👏👏

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much! It had a major glow up!

[@Leslie-wb8cb]

The fern moving in the slow mo made me laugh. The dresser looks great!!

[@DesertDIY]

Hahaha! I saw it when I was editing and it made me laugh too! Looks like it's waiving "hi!"

[@SusanBuckingham-ut2ez]

Oh the music is so appropriate, lovely! What a beautiful piece that turned out to be! Love the blue! The decs found in your garage were the final touch! Everything looks so refined.............another great job, well done! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much!

[@kathyhoward9182]

Love the blue! I’ve had my principal bedroom painted a lighter shade of this blue for well over 10 years now and I’m still obsessed with it. Works with so many different decor styles. Great job!

[@DesertDIY]

That is awesome! You really can do anything with this color

[@Jennifer_Cruz]

This is possibly my favorite makeover and staging pieces yet! 😍

[@DesertDIY]

Yay! Thank you!

[@oreobenavidez953]

That is such a lovely blue the gold made that piece look elegant

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you!

[@heatherburrill]

Such a beautiful vignette yet again! So inspiring ❤

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Heather

[@tammyleviner3070]

Always excited to see your videos pop up..i love your DIY's.. and your sense of humor, you always make me laugh!😄 And I really LOVE that art piece/photo that was on the floor leaning against this piece at the very beginning!!❤ One of my favorite types of art to collect, old photos like that or Victorian photos! The chest of drawers really turned out so good, its just gorgeous!!💙 I guess you're going to need to go yard saleing or thrifting just for pieces to paint blue.. blue decor is really hot right now! I have a really large planter that looks almost identical to that one! So pretty! I collect old mantle clocks..i have wooden ones and one ceramic one made in France. I almost got a smaller version of this one, i do regret i didn't🫤 It all looks beautiful, i love it! Again, great job! And thanks for sharing😊

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much. And thank you for sharing, too!

[@kerryclare3456]

Perfect classic colors for the dresser ! 👌 Your vignettes are my favorites. 🌞

[@roscaines-prentice3888]

A lovely video. They are all good pieces and so well displayed.

[@jflclc]

I'm so glad to see the French blue. I love this shade and the gold on the drawers pulls ties it all together beautifully.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you!

[@joylynnburkhardt3202]

You are right! That’s a beautiful color that is very popular! Your staging was on point!!

[@sandylmcallister]

The whole vignette is awesome. ! love it! That color is amazing...keep finding those dressers and paint them up! Can't believe how real that fern looks!

[@DesertDIY]

Thanks so much!! What great finds, huh?

[@JamieHambrick-zi4nw]

Blue has never been my favorite color, but you’ve changed my mind! It’s absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing!

[@DesertDIY]

You are so welcome! I used to feel the same way about blue and now I can't get enough of it

[@Thatsinteresting363]

Wow! The blue is so fresh and so classic and the gold just elevates it to pure elegance! Great job❤

Cory, you bring such beautiful life back to long-forgotten items. Love watching your channel; the music accompanying this video is beautiful!

[@debgersh5555]

Every time you showed the garage, I'd be hollering, the dresser, do the dresser! Glad you did, it's so pretty ❤you're quickly becoming my favorite watch on KZbin

[@DesertDIY]

Hahaha yay! I finally did it!

[@loiscarteaux9389]

Love the blue and gold!!!

[@DesertDIY]

It's so classic

[@forgiven5919]

I love everything you painted and arranged. The fern was def worth way more than you paid too.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you! Yes it was a steal!

[@patriciareeps3389]

The dresser looks beautiful, you did a wonderful job. Sometimes I find those anniversary clocks that do not work. I use the dome as a cloche, I take apart the clock and use the base as the bottom of the cloche. I’m sure you already do that

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you! That's a great idea. Maybe I can add florals or a fern inside

[@homekeepersinfo5971]

wow! everything turned out fantastic! Seriously, you inspire me!!

[@DesertDIY]

I'm so glad! Thank you so much!

[@carolsopinski4549]

Love that shade of blue! I also feel that it is a coastal color which is my all time favorite! Nice work and decorating ideas

[@DesertDIY]

Yes great point!

[@gardeniarosejasmine]

I love that shade of blue!

[@DesertDIY]

It's so classy

[@shunawestern9153]

Cory, I think you have done a great job today, and putting all the pieces together like that fits perfectly. Now if I was to purchase the drawers off you, I think I would be inclined to strike a deal for everything as it stands as you have dressed the piece, because they just fit so perfectly together, it would be ashame to split them up. Keep up the good work. Love watching. 🥰🇬🇧🐾🐾🌷🖌️💕

[@DesertDIY]

Thanks so much!

[@cindytalwar8438]

Just love the color, and everything about how you styled this dresser…fabulous!😍👍🏻

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much!

[@fiberotter]

Hi again. It's Miss Silver. I like silver with blues and mostly any shade of gray. I have a big ceramic pot like that one, only bigger. It has a crack on the bottom so I can't use it with any fluids. Right now it has a couple of rose bushes in water waiting to be planted. But I must find a purpose in the house for it.

[@DesertDIY]

I like silver too! I think these pots look better indoors. I have one more that's bigger and I'm just waiting to find a place for it in my house because you don't notice all the detail when it's outdoors

[@RobinLee-kb3xj]

That's a beautiful dresser, and only 20 bucks I know if any one can bring it back to its original beauty, you can Cory. Yep you did a amazing job, it's beautiful and I love the color.

[@CindyHuggins-w6s]

Thank you for sharing the brand of gold spray paint you use. Many brands do not give the desired outcome. I love how you walk through the process of refurbishing thrifted finds and making them new again! Keep it up!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Cindy

[@sallycantu6967]

Love it, great makeover on the dresser ❤🥰

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you! 🤗

[@donnaharrell6794]

H Cory. I love thw french blue. It looks so elegent and beautiful. You do so good on your projects. Love your channel. You stay blessed.

[@charlenegoskowicz8220]

You're right, the clock does have a Beauty and the Beast vibe, and I love your French-inspired vignette. That vintage Degas print totally works! The dresser looks like one of the lovely painted pieces in Mary Carol Garrity's Nell Hill decorating books. I also enjoyed today's background music (Vivaldi, in particular). So many videos have irritating background music (think Rebecca Robeson). Thank you for not doing that! Now, I noticed a small marble and gold pedestal table in your garage. I'm curious about how you'll upcycle that. That table looks like it could go in a spa bathroom!

[@joannjukes9140]

Totally agree with you when saying this blue colour is the bomb right now. I've just over the last few months changed all my colours in our living room to navy blue, light blue, little bits of brown and beige. I've gotten so many compliments.

[@DesertDIY]

You have the best color scheme ever! Classic, clean, cozy all in one

[@cathyjackson5959]

Beautiful!!! Love that blue with the gold & especially the accents!! Might be a Dante reproduction painting-he did a lot of ballerinas ❤

[@angelaspicer2753]

I ❤your furniture flips! This bow front style is one of my faves! Also ❤how you show us accessories! The vase with fern and pic were gorgeous together! You were right, fern brought out the green frame!

[@DesertDIY]

I am so glad you had fun watching!

[@johnettehaines6291]

Love the color. Great job, as always. I am repainting some things in my home that need a dace lift. What l did was googled the color combination I needed for the color l wanted. Made up a small batch. Then I took it to Home Depot to make me a pint size can of it. Plus got a small sample of the color they used on the walls of my apartment took to Home Depot did the same thing. This way l don't have to always. Put a work order in for a sample of paint to fix up a hole

[@DesertDIY]

Very smart!

Love it ALL! Just gorgeous!! Thanks for showing that you do drip sometimes. I would not dare be without a drop cloth. Also paint in clothes with paint on them and always seem to add more spots. 😊

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Joann. I think all my clothes are paint clothes now hahaha

[@theheritagehousesc]

I love the dresser! Beautiful southing color!

[@JeriAycoth]

What a transformation! I’m ordering some of that paint tonight. I have two old barstools My kids gave me that I was getting ready to throw away but now I think I’m going to paint them and try to sell them!

[@Jennifer35678]

Hi Cory! Wow! I love this color combo. I can see why it is such a seller. 😊 All of the pieces looked so intentional and went together so well. Even the flowers on the clock matched the ceramic pot that you used for the fern. BTW, what a great deal on that fern. It looks so real! I was thinking that the frame might look better gold, maybe, but when you put everything together, the green looked best. A gold frame would have been too much. I loved the music as well. So relaxing! Take care and have a blessed day! 😊🙏❤☀🌷

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Jennifer. It seems we think very much alike!

[@pamkelly7071]

[@brandyhuckabee1382]

What a beautiful vignette! Had to look up how to spell that😂. Love your channel

[@gailrhodes2859]

I would paint the tips of the legs gold on the dresser and I would do something to tone the gold down! But in reality I love the look and if whoever buys it can change it if they want to!! You did an amazing job on all of the items!!

[@DesertDIY]

That's a great idea! I thought about doing that also but I didn't do that to the first dresser and she wanted it just like the first one so I figured I'd just leave it be

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

The blue dresser actually very Scandinavian antique. Love the color.
