High-End DIY Home Décor for Less || Looks from Afloral, Kirkland's & Ballard Designs

Today we're creating high-end home décor on a budget. We'll tackle a footed bowl from Afloral that has a price tag of $320, but our price is a mere $12. We also have a French Creel doormat to share with you, as well as some bowl fillers that turned out amazing. We also tackle some home projects by rehabbing vintage lamps we found at an estate sale and reupholstering an old bench. Hope you'll join in our fun today!

I love your diy's a lot more than the original over priced items.

[@the_dauer_diaries]

@@mariaburgos5949 You are so sweet! Thank you ❤ We appreciate your support here on our channel.

I have seen footed bowl creations on several channels but adding the joint compound elevated your creation. Many DIY’ers don’t have the same attention to detail that you and your husband do -it truly makes all the difference 😉

[@the_dauer_diaries]

@@Sergeant-of-the-crossing-guard Thank you so much for your comment. We truly appreciate the feedback because it helps us know what to change or not change in our videos. Since I love to use our creations in our home we're very careful to make them look as quality as we can. And we want to present them to all our viewers as something that can be attainable as well. Thank you for noticing our care and for your support here on our channel ❤

You did an amazing job on ALL of your projects!! My favorite was the first one, the bowl.

[@the_dauer_diaries]

Thank you for your comment. We truly appreciate it and your feedback. I love that footed bowl as well. It's such a versatile piece and I love that its now a part of my collection. Thank you again for your support here on our channel and we look forward to hearing from you again ❤

[@immatytoo]

You two make such a great team!

[@the_dauer_diaries]

@@immatytoo We love to create, but we do have our "discussions" behind the scenes 😄 Hope all is well and y'all are staying cool in the heat back there!!

[@immatytoo]

@the_dauer_diaries funny you say that because I thought it was be funny to hear what you are saying and not just the voice overs. I know myself and it would be comical to hear me. I stay super cool indoors in my venue so I don't worry about the heat!

Loved lamps the best great video.

[@BarbyR0362]

Hello from Miami!! I love your creations, better than the original and expensive. My favorite was the pedestal footed bowl, but everything turned beautiful ❤❤

[@the_dauer_diaries]

@@BarbyR0362 Hello to you in Miami! I love that footed bowl. I've been wanting to buy one for quite some time but just couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of money and now I have one for a fraction of the cost. Definitely a win 😊 We love having you with us and appreciate your comment ❤

[@user-oy4zp3ft9u]

Very pretty

Hi Jennifer. Love it that you and Corey team up on projects. It's always a treat to see my hubby's skills in action, so I'm glad you guys get to share projects together. Luv from Australia.

[@the_dauer_diaries]

Hello our sweet friend from Australia. We really do enjoy creating things together and since we've retired, we've had more time to think of things we want to do and its been such a joy. We have so much planned for the new house, mostly Cory creating my dream spaces. If only we could get through all the red tape to get it started. I'm hoping we'll have some news to share on that front soon. Much love and blessings from your friends here in the States ❤❤

[@jemmyG15]

You and Corey are so talented. Loved the pedestal bowl! Btw, I bought those sheets you had previously recommended from Amazon. I loved them so much I went back and ordered a second set. I’d like to get a set for my spare bedroom also. So glad you recommended them!

[@the_dauer_diaries]

@@jemmyG15 You are so sweet. Thank you. So happy to hear you love the sheets. We're loving them too and I'm thinking of picking up another set as well in the tan color. We truly appreciate your support ❤

[@kellygooch3346]

I love your diy episodes!! I recently followed your aging technique on a very large plastic pot. It turned out gorgeous ❤! I now have a $25 planter that looks like an old world clay vessal that would cost 20x the price to buy. And for my back only weighs a few pounds 😂 Thank you for sharing 😊

[@the_dauer_diaries]

I'm so happy to hear about your project. There is something so rewarding about creating your own decor and especially when it looks so good no one would ever know you DIY'd it. Thank you for letting me know. Please keep me updated on any other projects. Love hearing from you ❤

[@barbarajameson8829]

You and your husband are so talented, I love all of these make overs .They are beautiful and will be amazing in your new home.Those staples can be so difficult to remove,but it turned out beautiful!! Thanks for sharing an I love every project.❤Barb

[@the_dauer_diaries]

Thank you ❤ You are so sweet and I just love finding your comments. I can't tell you how much we appreciate it. We had a time of it with those staples, let me tell you. I thought we'd never get them all out. But I do love how fresh it looks again. I hate tossing things that still have potential, and that bench has been with us for quite some time.

[@charleneblake1146]

Wow, you and Corey are the dream team❤❤

It's hard to pick a favorite, I liked them all!

[@the_dauer_diaries]

@@susanwisniewski6821 Thank you ❤ I will say we've been enjoying them all. Our doormat is right out the back doors, which are glass, and I can see it every time I walk into the kitchen. We appreciate your support 😊

[@MmeO]

Beautiful! Love the pedestal bowl - great job!

[@the_dauer_diaries]

@@MmeO If I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be the bowl too. It's such a versatile piece to decorate with and I do love the way it turned out. I think I might be adding paint specks to all my decor 😁 Thank you so much for being with us ❤
