Ah man, I just ordered from them for a newborn outfit... Oh well.

The humor in these just keeps getting better & better. Who cant drive by a Lowes without the "Lowes Trip" jingle popping into your head? Andrea I appreciate the real life moments & your explantions as you build. So cool to watch your process.

[@MelMackey]

We’re currently renovating our first house and lowes has become our second home. My husband has become very accustomed to the jingle 😂

[@ananunez8374]

Honestly, I don’t know why you guys don’t have 1million subscribers yet! Andrea is a natural renovating and creating the most beautiful spaces! ❤

[@Author_ElizabethAton]

As someone who experienced a massive house flood this year, my heart goes out to you. It robs you of a sense of safety when it comes to your home. That look on your face as you looked at the industrial dryer? Yeah. I know that one. Be patient but persistent with the insurance process. Big hugs to you both.

[@HazelWallace-ci3yx]

This is seriously impressive! The transformation of the living room with the budget-friendly bench is inspiring-I never knew a simple DIY project could make such a big difference.

[@lauriehuber3040]

I am not a designer or woodworker but I love watching you bring these projects together. You are so talented! 👏👏👏

[@talentonboard2456]

Dean please get Andrea a “Glue Bot”! It really helps with the glue struggles.

[@MHtrendyFinds]

I missed you guys. You’re the greatest in everything you do. It was great to hear the Lowe’s trip jingle again. Welcome back!

[@maevaallio2581]

Now we want a workshop where Andrea teaches us to built a furniture from start to finish!

[@heatherstewart2596]

I’ve never thought about a banquette in a family room, but it’s genius for board games, colouring, snacks! I love it!

[@Cynthia2v]

Water leaks are the worst! I’m so sorry you had to demo to find the culprit. Hopefully it’s found and you have replaced all the damaged projects. The bench is terrific, a great place for kids to do homework, play games, do puzzles or have dinner. I’m looking forward to the completed project!

[@sharonmakowsky172]

The girl’s got talent! She should have her own shop and make custom pieces. I would buy one! Great job!🥰👍💜

[@Alicia-ig7cv]

Andrea is so talented. I think it would be good if she had his stamp made up that she could stamp on furniture that she's made as her makers mark.

[@Lake1ism]

Dear Andrea, You are so very talented and it's fun to watch you "kill" it every time. Hope you're feeling well. Thanks Dean !

[@tasleenmahmood6274]

As someone who does no designing or home improvement...I have to say you guys are so comforting to watch 😊

[@ChrisieCouncil]

You were on my heart tonight…so glad you’re back!

[@ChrisieCouncil]

It was worth the wait! Andrea makes it look so easy and the editing/filming is just getting better and better! ❤️

[@lizzieliz1984]

I think it’s time to get a truck! It would be such an investment for all your projects. I just love your channel!!!! ❤

[@MsMeri1969]

I was beginning to wonder what happened to you guys. I am so glad that you're back! Miss you and the projects that you guys do!

[@nlozoya85nl]

I love Andreas talent. She makes me think I can actually try diy. And she just does such a great job everytime. I love the way Dean loves her and the kids and how funny he is. But that voice! Like where did that come from. I did not know he could sing!

[@caryn1954]

Yay!! You’re back! We’ve missed you guys!

[@bavonna]

Yes!!! So glad you all are back :) I hope all is well 💖

[@mistygeller3193]

Sooo pretty!! I have never seen a semitransparent stain that is so rich and warm, and still lets enough of the wood grain show! You are just too good at picking the right colors! 😊 Great job girly!! Now I am super excited to see the rest of your vision come together!!

[@MsLori-BassGirl4Life]

I love that you make all your own furnature. Its givin me that itch to start my own n throw all my stuff out lol😊 i uave so many visions. 😊

[@TeresaOneill-h2m]

I totally agree about the rounding of the edges! Looks great, Andrea!

[@julieanncheshire9960]

I really appreciate the nail gun suggestion...very useful!

[@evalinawarne1337]

I love watching your VLOGS.. plus, you keep me laughing. Bench is fantastic.

[@MsKeljon]

Andrea is MAD skilled ❤

[@AngelinaBass-rg3rm]

Amazing high-end look without breaking the bank!

[@Edu_Kate]

Your creativity never ceases to amaze me! Andrea, as a newbie to furniture making...well anything working with wood, could you announce the sandpaper grit when you say you're gonna sand the wood? You're giving me some confidence and I'm starting to look at power tools thinking, "Should I get a chop saw like Andrea's?" 🤔 But I don't know which sandpaper to use. TY After living in my 73yo house for 32 years, I'm FINALLY painting my ugly blonde woodwork and picking out wall paint. The walls were in bad shape and I'm filling/sanding the holes and paint drips so they'll look really nice when I apply the new paint. I picked a lovely moody olive green for an accent wall (Behr Ginger Tea) in my bedroom and with only one coat it's already so pretty! I can't shut my eyes to sleep because I keep staring at it...even in the darkened room. So, I totally get you staring at your creations. 😃 I have a project in mind. I want to make a faux fireplace mantle for my living room with secret storage nooks. 😆

[@bonnielamb2170]

Love your videos! I just wish there were more of them 😊.You do such amazing work Andrea!

[@SaltCreekFarmstead]

Ugh. We’ve had multiple floods, all from different sources! We finally bought our own industrial fans to assure that we’ll never flood again ;) You know, once you spend the money to purchase, you’ll never need than again. At least that’s what we’re hoping. The bench is great! I’m surprised you didn’t build storage for games and puzzles into the bench. But maybe that’s just my lack of storage speaking lol

[@lindaroyal8161]

Missed you guys - glad you're back! The bench looks good, as all Andrea's projects. I'm surprised you didn't make the seats to lift up for storage underneath, pillows, blankets, throws from the LR, place to store out of season ones.

[@maryruther1842]

So excited to see more of your bench project! You both made my day! And night!! You have a way of quiet inspiration ~

[@Deniedum]

umm andrea is talented af . everything is so beautiful

[@sarah30uk]

I am sooo happy to see you guys back. Everything in my life makes sense now and I’m happy lol ❤

[@phyllishume5854]

I too have been checking daily. Happy to see you both.

[@heatherb9853]

SAME! 🎉

[@anneaton921]

You are AMAZING Andrea!! Your talent stuns me!! Can’t wait for the next episode!!🥰

[@suzannebrookes5950]

Missed you guys, so happy to see you are back, bench is looking good so far but sorry to hear about your water leak and pain in the hip, hope you feel and fix up soon.

[@marilynweist2645]

Another great build! Can’t wait to see it finished! ❤

[@rosehavenfarm2969]

Driveway Masterpieces are the best masterpieces.

[@mellymel1100]

It makes me think of a church pew, but when you put it with a table it'll make a cute breakfast nook :D

[@paulastrickland2259]

Forgot to say, I miss you guys over the new year

[@louiseupton3363]

Absolutely stunning 😍

[@mimmili5593]

So talented!!!! 🥰👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@jenniferbecnel439]

We are still recovering from our house flood right after Thanksgiving. We were getting our new flooring installed literally as I was getting discharged from having our second baby a couple weeks ago. Good luck, just take one day at a time.

[@katharinatrub1338]

Love your Bench! Maybe, just maybe I would have expected to find some storage space in them ? Always happy to watch you dear Guys! It look like Winter is over in Texas! Not yet here in Quebec !

[@mistypadgette7645]

Omg you are so talented.. I missed you while you've been gone...

[@gaylesmith1738]

Oh, I was very happy to see your notification!!! 😍 Yeayyyy!!! 😂 I'm so sorry about the water in your house. That is terrible. 😕 I really like your bench idea! I am anxious to see how you finish it off! It'll be beautiful, for sure!! 💕

[@donnamullins2089]

Hope your water issue is solved. So very sorry about all the flooring. Seating bench looking very good. Have a great week.

[@HappyHarryX5]

Hope your hip feels better now Andrea. I’m sure you must have heard me yell at the TV about the leak from Oz. Half way through I was wondering how it would all fit through the doors. I’ve woken up the last 2 mornings feeling accomplished as I’d built 3 things. Then I realised that all that hard work was a dream. 😂

[@happyhales5909]

You are both such an inspiration to me. With love from Australia ❤

[@mariannerady1137]

glad to have you back 💙

[@shindees7676]

I love it, especially giving it is valentines week and all.......I can feel the love. Nice work MRS DIY

[@alee9961]

Glad to see ya'll back! 😊

[@urbanandra]

I love your work! I wish I could get your help! I live in a 315sq Loft studio in NYC which is generous considering all things. But I see so many wonder and inspiring DIYs and never settle on one because. It’s been difficult, I have fear of the “first cut”. Either just been watching all of your work today. 👌🏼 Top Notch!

[@tab01560]

You are back! I’ve been checking every day! Beautiful bench!

[@peggykhiev2884]

Both of you are really talented, and thanks for another awesome video. However looking at your bench structure (I’m also a DIY wife), I would suggest adding some middle support. I would at least add top support spanning across your outer plywood base to the other 2x4 side. Especially where the two top pieces meet, I would add a vertical middle support as well. I just built a window bench built in, and added lots of support. But otherwise it looks great, and you work so fast!

[@myidarun]

Your hands are doing wonders. Greater work👏👏👏👌👌 ❤ From, Hyderabad, India

[@deborahgilliam5344]

Sean love your hair Andrea you are so talented.

[@kellyjames3742]

Love the drone view!!

[@heather_nicole_05]

What will the purpose of that bench being in the living room? Game nights? It looks great!

[@soufasissou9023]

❤❤❤ simple and gorgeous

[@sc000ter000]

Would love for you guys to enlarge the garage so you could work inside... it could be a good project to film, too

[@liveLifeHappyFull]

Can you please tell me where you bought your curtains? Or maybe you can make a video for us. Thanks DIY Wife and Husband!!

[@monaskelly3159]

[@gramsthebuilder5388]

Love it !!!! I made one for our home but your work is quality.

[@DeniCowdell]

Peanut butter banana snoothie yes sur those are awesome!!

[@bonnielamb2170]

You’re not supposed to to shake stain.Only stir.Shaking puts air into the stain.Hence you get air bubbles

[@ireneromero5326]

Bench looks amazing! 😊❤ Can't wait to see it finished!

[@Chapelhomestead]

[@frauhaude]

Caught myself randomly singing the Lowes-song during the day 😅

[@Malindraelf]

Love your videos ! Since it usually very warm working outside your house why dont you put up sails from the rooftop you have roof on both sides so it will be easy set up.

[@PhongTran-md3bu]

love watching your video, you are so talented Andrea! you two make an amazing team :)

[@brandybrodie1177]

Love everything you do!! The banquette looks great! Where are your curtains from?

[@jehanwatleyco.8150]

Everytime I walk into Lowe's I am singing that song. 😂

[@MaritHaugland-y2p]

Hi😊 You always impressed! And you are such a motivator! Great taste also🤩 Is that a BARA tights you are wearing?

[@vivienmcnaul109]

Wonderful ❤

[@bfranklin1052]

Fun new project! I love the wood floors you put in the living room--what are they?

[@CantankerousDave]

Have a banquet on the banquette- Ooooooh, that’s where the word comes from.

[@monicariske]

Awesome job!!!

[@collyn89]

The clear part of the glue bottle pulls off so you can pull out any dried glue.

[@debbiemoreton2372]

Excited!

[@leahcanamo6188]

I'm a new subscriber in your channel ..and I'm amazed you so much.

[@barbgalligan4885]

Loving it!

[@jeanettevega7560]

👋 HELLO HERE FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO 😊 YAYYYYYY 😊

[@ZeeWatcher1000]

"They (Lowes) butchered that ply" said in a Godfather voice. Great to see you guys back. Your videos are very comforting.

[@nancyharsch6254]

❤ the bench

[@Dingle1234]

You're right, that stain is a nice neutral. Not too much yellow, green or red undertone yet still warm and natural feeling. I saw someone had an easy chair and little table in the corner of their kitchen, for friends to chat with them while they cooked. I occurred to me if you have to combine purposes of a room in a small home, why not put the dining table in there instead of the kitchen?
