I don’t like watching shopping videos but since you show us right away what you do with them, I like that!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you!

[@trixie9777]

I like that too❣️

[@TRoxanne54]

Me too! It works well.

[@annieoli28]

Me too💕

[@susangooden1055]

That’s exactly how I feel. Not into shopping but love seeing the transformation.

[@Blessedgirl1955]

I love this type of video where you shop and then immediately show us how you flipped it. I adore that peg rail with the blue decoupage napkins!! You do an awesome job!

[@shadygardens2256]

Me too!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much

[@TRoxanne54]

Me too!

[@Lincolnprims]

Agree!

[@vickieking5831]

Be still my heart. That wooden peg hanger with the blue flower napkin decoupaged on there is my favorite. What a great idea. Tea cups hanging there would be so cute, or like you said, an apron. Maybe a small straw hat or a small umbrella with flowers in it hanging there. So many things you could do with that.

[@DesertDIY]

Yes! We have the same vision. So cute!

[@charlotted6247]

I have never seen anyone do anything with those before that I liked. That might seem like a small thing to do, but it's beautiful now.

[@tanyamillican136]

I agree ❤

[@user-dq5yx4xh4w]

I love kind of segment where you dont take alot of time on hauls showing flips. I DO like seeing the finished flips. Like to see more 🙂

[@Lincolnprims]

Some of the channels pick up every single little thing and show you the price and then put it back for it seems like forever and that really bores me!;🤷

[@jeaniepetrenchak4300]

Your idea to add a pattern to that old-fashioned peg rack is absolutely genius! Sooo creative!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Jeanie

[@ecbrent2]

The goodwill round up thing just makes the CEO richer. I used to always say yes, now i always say no. Great finds and beautiful outcomes as always!!❤

[@lindasoderberg9477]

CEO receives an outrageously high salary while paying their employees minimum wages!

[@carolweiss8795]

I totally agree with you. We donate to a lot of local causes but I don’t round up at Goodwill. Everything they sell has been donated so they have no expenses for inventory. Even if the CEO isn’t lining his pockets with the round up amount and truly donates it to a charity he is getting the tax break on your coins!

[@Lincolnprims]

Exactly!!!!

[@carolynratliff1380]

My daughter painted her wings silver and put them on either side of her babies pictures….they are gorgeous…all of her friends want the wings!!!

[@DesertDIY]

That's a cool idea

[@carolynratliff1380]

You are the first person who asked so sweetly to subscribe….so I did….thankyou. Hugs carolyn

[@DesertDIY]

Wow thank you so much Carolyn

[@joyelsey1366]

Well girl once again, you did an outstanding job. I thought the bundles of silks looked adorable in that lavender basket. What a great idea. I also loved the idea that you’re selling individual botanical pictures, that’s cool as well! I wish you so many blessings with your Flip for profit endeavors. Thank you once again for sharing your amazing ideas with us. Like I said, before girl, you rock❤

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Joy! You rock too!

[@lauraspleen6046]

All so beautiful, as usual Heres an idea for you, Cory..the copper pot is great for long matches by a fireplace

[@paulavanduynhoven8951]

I totally love the shopping then flipping ❤❤❤

[@pattyseel1892]

I also like that you show us immediately what you do with the items! also, you could paint the wings with a pearlescent white, and some touches of gold on the edges and textured parts.

[@user-yj5fg6jc7l]

I love the lavender pieces. Nobody else I watch is painting with that color

[@jamescharters269]

Really love the contact and watching you for a while now I’m so glad you’re all settled in your new house. Congratulations on the store and everything that comes with that.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much

[@loriprentice5384]

Yes rounding up without asking bothers me. I never round up because GW prices are outrageous. No bins near me.

[@DesertDIY]

I won't be rounding up anymore, that's for sure lol.

[@cherylgoff8955]

My friend never rounds up and says after all everything there was free for them

[@donnahoman4591]

Never roundup, so greedy of them!

[@nanagigi1162]

What amazing flips. Blue decoupage was my favorite. Have an amazing week.

[@cherylgoff8955]

What a transformation for the wooden Peg holder. That is outstanding! Sometimes I say yes to rounding up at Goodwill and sometimes I say no. After all it's a donation and they don't have a right to automatically take that money😮

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Cheryl

[@trixie9777]

Loved the video & your flips. Loved seeing your sweet dog exploring the yard. Your yard is beautiful!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you! I have two rescue pups and they are the best

[@loiscarteaux9389]

Love the green and lavender 💜. Also enjoy the instrumental music you choose.

[@pamelafox7677]

Loved your video today. It’s great to see the picking and the makeovers in one. Also loved your music today!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Pamela

[@donnacurry166]

Never cease to amaze at the things you find and how you flip them!! There’s a manager at one of my local Salvation Army’s who has rounded up on me a time or two without asking. I agree it’s stealing. I don’t mind doing it sometimes if they ask but NEVER do I at goodwill because their prices are getting ridiculously high and unreasonable for a thrift store. Sometimes the Goodwill price is higher than the original retail price on the items and the CEO is a millionaire. I’ve not been to a bins outlet as there are two near me one in Los Angeles and one in the opposite direction in San Bernardino but both are about 30-40 miles away. I think I may try one sometime in the future. 😊

[@DesertDIY]

I think you'll like the bins! Salvation army is even more expensive than goodwill here sometimes but yes they're crazy with their prices

[@lisagrafton2529]

I'm only halfway through your video, and I had to stop to say how much I LOVE what you did to that accordion peg hook! I haven't seen anyone else do that, and it absolutely beautiful!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Lisa!

[@maryowens9179]

All your makeovers are great.The angel wings, I would leave it the color you painted it and string lights on them both and fix to hang on elm tree around my flower and rock garden❤❤

[@differentperspective4124]

I have seen those wings used on a chair as a backdrop for photos, think about portraits of your family members with angel wings 🤔

[@DesertDIY]

Great ideas!

[@lucillemodzelewski3258]

I also love green and lavender together. Those are the colors in my main bathroom..sage green and lavender. As of now I don't foresee changing it,

[@julieschwartz2135]

You need to get that online store open. I love that copper piece with, or without spit, 😂 and would have bought it from you. The riser/tray you made from the expandable peg rack last time was such a unique idea, and what you did with the napkin this time was so beautiful. The angle wings are something I would use outside in the summer, so adding some lights, and a way to hang them would look nice when dinning outdoors in the evening . The other option I could see is distressing them, then attaching to something so they could be used like metal garden art. I like when you show what you pull out from the bins. Not everyone would pick the same things, so it’s interesting to see what you pull followed by your flip. Great video I really enjoy watching your creative process🥰.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Julie. Great ideas!

[@Jennifer35678]

Hi Cory! Thanks for this video. My suggestion is to use rub ‘n buff on the wings. I think that will give it a little sparkle and make it look complete. I loved the accordion rack. I couldn’t believe you made it look so wonderful from a paper napkin! 😮 Amazing! I enjoy seeing what you are doing. I am never disappointed! ☺Have a wonderful day! 😊🙏❤

[@donnamoye684]

I agree with some rub and buff on the tips of the wings.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Jennifer. Good idea

[@clej1]

You always find such great stuff in the bins! I just love the wooden peg hanger, great job!

[@Tammyevans972]

I’m in love with the peg rack!! What a great idea. Just found your channel today and I’m happy I did🌻🌻

[@user-gk7sy9dp8s]

Customers should always be informed of a new procedure, even if it's simply a sign at the register. The cashier should have mentioned something to you about the rounding up; I'd have been bothered about it, too. I really like your backyard and the view beyond the fence. What a lovely backdrop it provides! I also like how you structured this particular video. Re the lavender box, I would paint the upper rim and inner box, too. I find you channel a delight to watch. Your gentle and generous spirit really shines through!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much!

[@julierodriguez2586]

Love the accordion peg hook! So very pretty❤

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Julie

[@donnajohnson6421]

Love all the ways you showed how to decorate the things you picked up! What great ideas!!!! Really enjoyed watching all the transformation’s. The angel wings would be beautiful with gold highlights on them❤❤❤

[@judithburke1539]

I use mine for necklaces! That makes it easy to pick the one that matches what i plan to wear.😊

[@dah-lv1hm]

the urn with the topiary ball is fabulous!

[@shellyseaman5527]

I love how you used napkins to cover the peg wall rack. It is brilliant!

[@sharonvanfoeken-me8fb]

Hi Cory..I appreciate your taste..From your past furniture painting, I learned that you are a true artist...it shows in your color choices and staging, shapes and scale... And you're fun to shop and craft with...French provincial..yum

[@Velvethart]

Been watching you for ages 😊 Love this format of a quick clip of the haul and then what you do with it! Thanks for the great content! ❤

[@dianed805]

For the wings... I would put an antique wash on them to give dimension and then lightly dry brush the high points with an off white.

[@DesertDIY]

That's a cool idea

[@Willow_508_]

The Angel wings for me are the best. Love the black but it does need extra. Id do the gold around it but I'd smudge it, distress, more on the bottom half, and while paints still wet,sprinkle some sparkles on them. They are really lovely. Subbed to your channel. I'm from South Australia 🦘

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Willow great ideas

[@sportshots8393]

The angel wings would look great with Dixie Bell’s Patina sprays in blue and green it would make them look older and give them instant patina😁

[@sac1303]

You are an astute shopper, and your sense of decor and craftsmanship are excellent.

[@CeceCandyg]

Thanks for the variety you provide in shopping, creating, staging, etc. ALL your videos are inspiring. Thank you!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Cece

[@user-sk2px6ox7m]

Yeah that’s bull and yes it would bother me I would have walked back in😂😅..I loved all of your projects!!..love that lilac basket as well❤

[@BusyMom57-db9lr]

Absolutely LOVE the the blue/white peg rack!!

[@emptyspacesFF]

Love these! 😍 And, like everyone else is mentioning, this format is AWESOME! As for the angel wings, if it were me, I’d add a little bit of antiquing wax around the edges of all the feathers. That might actually look better with an ivory or off white color, though.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you! And great ideas

[@marilynmarilynohearn476]

Aprons for sale would look great on the decoupaged rack.

[@terriepriest4789]

Great ideas today my favorite piece was the napkin holder and the coat rack that you put the blue napkins on great idea

[@ginahernandez3219]

Great haul, plus the way you diy them are awesome. Thanks for sharing, Corie ❤

[@marywiggins7411]

Love the decoupage expanding hanger!

[@carolmcmanus-ox4vk]

Peg hook rack is gorgeous!❤❤❤❤❤

[@sonniecampbell1788]

Cory - as always, great finds and updates! All turned out beautifully! Automatic rounding up IS stealing regardless if you would’ve said yes. Goodwill’s prices are outrageous to begin with.

[@virginiaevans9887]

That accordion hanger is amazing! ❤

[@DesertDIY]

I agree! ❤️

[@pursesrme]

I want that accordion peg board!! Love it!!

[@chellepitts1990]

I wish you shipped!! You have some amazing things!

[@emmavik-fredriksson640]

Love the peg hanger, gorgeous! And the botanical print was also stunning with that frame! I'm not a lilac kind of person, much prefer white or beige. Those basket were so nice! You have to charge more for the blue one! Worth 35 all day long!!

[@cherylweso]

Love the peg rack ! Love the book you have of plants! Love what you did today! 💜💕♥️❤️💙

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Cheryl

[@lindafaierson6030]

What great ideas. The cup tack is so cozy. Thanks for sharing.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Linda

[@TheJcs555]

Cory...great video!! 😍You are very talented in coming up with ideas to repurpose your Goodwill Bins finds. I, too, love the colors lavender and green and they go well with the French Country and Cottage looks. You are so fortunate to have a booth to display and sell your make-overs! Bless you and your family! 🙏 Thank you for sharing your decor ideas. Yes, they should ask if you want to "round up" your total receipt. 🤔 I usually will round up. but I like being asked also. Have a great weekend! 💖

[@ellenswartz7203]

Nice to see Houston is getting the weather it’s supposed to. Great flips. 👍

[@DesertDIY]

Yes! Mosquitoes are already coming out so it appears houston is back to normal now.

[@user-op2vy8bm5v]

I really love the peghook rack . You can also put thin wood slats in it and use it as a shelf ❤️❤️

[@gdavis2349]

Great job on everything you made over. I love it a!. My favorite things you picked up is all the beautiful wicker and copper. Great video.

[@erindennis9881]

It's all awesome! My favorite was the peg wall hanger! Beautiful!!!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Erin!

[@sonjaholder4930]

Love the shop and flip video format. It's nice to see how people envision their finds. Yes, i would definitely be ticked off that they automatically rounded up the purchase price. That should definitely be a choice.

[@mossycreekdesigns2]

Love the format that you are using. It is the best of both worlds. I really liked the transformation of the peg rack. My thought on the angel wings... I definitely would use some gold, maybe rub and buff, but I think some gold leaf in a distressed style would be very stunning.

[@alicechristian2980]

I just like how you get your stuff from the good Will stores and you know already what you are going to do with them. All so pretty. Luv it. TFS.🙏🌻👋🌺🌷🥀🪻🌼💐🌸🪷🤣

[@DesertDIY]

Thanks so much 😊

[@diannameyers8163]

I had never seen that done before. Napkin on the hanger/rack. I have 2 that I hang jewelry on. 😅🎉❤

[@melaniebelter1541]

Loved everything but the decoupaged accordian rack is just the cutest thing ever! I'm going to create one and put it in my front bathroom! Your creative mind blows me away! ❤

[@DesertDIY]

That's going to be such a cozy touch

[@nancychannel8513]

I would attach the wings to a very large spindle with the idea of it being a hummingbird or butterfly

[@user-sy7er5dv6c]

You do an exceptional job. I love all you do!!!!!

[@jillgross6232]

I cried when you covered up the White Barn label on the box. I love rustic country look. I didn't mind the base, but not the box. Don't get me wrong, I love your furniture flips. I think you just need a bit more patience with your decor. A lot of that is a difference in opinion, I guess. I just do decor all the time and take it seriously. I have found the combination of sage green and lavender has been huge this spring as well. 😅 Have a great week. See you on Sunday. ❤

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

Great format! I hope you two have lots of customers at your booth.♥️

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Lydia

[@heatherburrill]

I hope that you kept that blue basket - I love baskets and have never seen one that colour - but you do find so many gorgeous things that I guess you couldn’t keep everything 😂

[@annieg9636]

My favorite was the mug rack!

[@heidigresh2743]

The angel wings are in the Country Door catalog for $90 and were originally gold and silver tone.

[@beverlylones9552]

All of your flips were absolutely fantastic!💕

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Beverly!

[@retroredo9850]

Loved the frame with print! I have a large 1950s floral art dranwn book! Ive used a few.

[@lindabarraza2433]

All are lovely!!!

[@karenhill3970]

Love cool TOTALLY great stuff u found ..........yes i love pale lavender...as a updated" look ...my living room is a palepale blue / lavender ... currently doing ng a "Refresh " getting rid of clutter and painting desperate objects white, off white pale lavender ..LOVE IT🇨🇱🦋💜

[@robinhermann3676]

Love the wings. I would give second coat of white then dark wax to bring out detail then gold on tips

[@flippinretired]

Beautiful flips!!

[@judyspizler4379]

Another informative and creative video!

[@chrisabq1702]

Great finds...love your make overs! ☺

[@sharleenwolfe9301]

Oh you got so much good stuff that day

[@albareyes7412]

I love your videos ❤ love watching how you transform the things you buy

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much!!

[@marilynmarilynohearn476]

I love that book. I'm always looking for books like that. That was a great find.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you

[@Sofia-eu6pi]

I enjoyed this type of flipping video. I’ve seen other videos of people shopping at the bins & they recommend wearing gloves because sometimes there’s gross things in the bins.

[@DesertDIY]

Yes true! Sometimes I'm dumb and forget my gloves.

[@berthahobler2003]

Great finds ❤😊

[@charlenegoskowicz8220]

I really like how you staged everything with the lavender basket--i like the way all the other objects sort of "revolve" around that basket to create a mood. Regarding the metal wings: maybe dry brush a little gold or copper on them?

[@DesertDIY]

Oh copper! I didn't think of that. Thank you

[@trinasyoutube]

I love baskets! You can use baskets in so many different ways. 10:30 very interesting peg rack design with the decoupage. 14:04 too bad you couldn’t use the medallion.

[@dmfitzpatrick7694]

What a terrific haul !!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you!

[@tracymoser6538]

Really enjoyed your video, I like the shop and show! Going to try the accordion rack with napkins, great idea!

[@angelagreaud9695]

❤️ the accordion rack

[@tanyamillican136]

I am going to try the lavender color very pretty!

[@debrabell2604]

I would keep the blue basket It's really nice.

[@veroniqueg4983]

Hi ! I've just discovered your channel and love your videos. I thouroughly enjoy when you rummage in the bins and how you flip your finds. The wooden peg holder is absolutely georgeous. I would love to do the same in France but thrift shops are scarce except when you live in or around Paris and prices are becoming outrageous.

[@judywilliamson2068]

I ordered some pages of gourds and flowers make us and $25 a sheet plus shipping. So yours are a great deal.

[@CynthiaVegas]

You picked some nice things

[@ednaalegria8710]

Great finds!

[@_JanetLouise]

Best wishes for continued success with your business!

[@jeanettedelfino6250]

For those big angel wings I think I would get some type of twine whether Jude or maybe white but not thick and then put a few beads and in between each tie and knot that the beads are spaced about an inch apart I would use maybe some translucent beads and then at the end at a feather to each strand I think that would look really cool

[@lydiaromine2922]

Great video! I love your channel!
