Hi Cory. I found your channel about a week ago, fell in love, became obsessed, binge watched videos from 2 years to now, and now Im jonesing until your new ones come out every week. 😖 anyway, just wanted you to know your the bomb. Love it all, especially the flips. You’re one creative lady.

[@DesertDIY]

Wow thank you so much! I appreciate you spending your time watching my videos! That really helps us out. Can't wait to share more videos

[@laura011110]

Your reaction to the "screaming bird" was hilarious, and exactly what I would have thought if i had come across it. 😅❤

[@DesertDIY]

Right?! Hahaha! Ahhhhh!

[@rhoward295]

I often laugh with my son at Goodwill! So many “treasures!” And sometimes, we laugh even harder at the pricing! But I did see one of my KZbinrs actually think something was priced too high for what it was, but then they looked it up and it was actually something! So, while I doubt the things I’m laughing at fall into that category, I’ll think twice!

[@tomasinebeard6867]

I laughed really hard at that too 😂

[@KS-yx7ho]

Your garage is a crafters wonderland ❤❤❤ So awesome 😊

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you! 🤗 I have to keep reminding myself of that

[@jennyhanks6740]

Loved EVERYthing! Sorry I missed the live! I hope that you white wax the roses frame, I think it would be nice to see them with definition. I cannot WAIT to see the makeover videos! Your garage is also full of treasures, isn't it? Yes, paint the black candle holder to a lighter color and add back gold highlights. So French country! Love ya, and thanks for taking us along! That was fun!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you for the great ideas Jenny! I think I just might do some of that!

[@gailcullinan349]

Nice to see that your booth is so propfitable. I truly admire your ingenuity and hard work. So well done

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you very much! This month has been a slow month for my shop but I think that's normal for this time of year

[@rochelletarr182]

I love the pair of lamps that you're keeping. They're gorgeous. ❤ If you ever do a Q&A video again, please tell me your secret to always being so cheerful and polite and humble. It's always so peaceful for me watching your videos 🤍🕊️🥰 You inspire me so much 🤍🐦

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Rochelle! I think I was born an optimist. I always try to look on the bright side and I can laugh about anything. I have had a hard life and it made me a strong person so I don't let anything bring me down because I know it could always be worse. I also have adhd which gives me the super power of extra energy and endless ideas.

[@rochelletarr182]

@@DesertDIY thank you so much for your reply. You're a true inspiration to me. Often I try to be like you, but I don't always succeed. I'm sorry you had a hard life. 🧸🥰🤍 But you've turned out pretty great. Thank you for being such a wonderful example of how a woman should be. 🥰🐦🕊️

[@lesliespradley8897]

I just wanted to say that when I first saw your channel, I thought oh well, another Thrifting video which I do love, but I’m getting to the point where I have vicariously shopped to my hearts content. Ha ha ha but within a minute or two your commentary and the way you thrift and then show what you do to them and then show more shopping and then show your makeovers and how you style them completely won me over and changed my mind. I love shopping along with you your commentary is so fun brings me joy and makes me laugh. And you have a great eye for makeovers and styling. I love love love your videos. Thanks for bringing joy to my day every time I watch.

[@user-op2vy8bm5v]

Good afternoon young lady am very tickled to watch your newest video today. I just started watching your videos here in Paxton Illinois and am enjoying them immensely so I guess what I’m saying is welcome to my home ❤️❤️

[@DesertDIY]

Aww thank you so much! I'm so happy to have you here!

[@doig18]

Oh my gosh! I’ve never seen anyone before that knows about Paxton! My family lived there for 6 months back in the 80’s. We were a military family and didn’t want to live on the base. Paxton was so small then. I’ll never forget it and have some fond memories of 4th grade! We loved on Pells St kind of across from the grocery store and near the bank. My best friend was a local and we lost touch. We used to walk to the Arcade for burgers. ❤️

[@lovingmayberry307]

Hi! 👋 I've bought crocks without lids before and simply cut a round out of wood and put a cute drawer pull, or finnial, or big bead on top. Then paint or stain or just wax the round and POOF! You have a cute lid! ❤😊

[@DesertDIY]

Great idea!

[@joannnelson9847]

Leave your metal vase the way it is....its beautiful!!!!!

[@lesliejackson8188]

*The ballerina print and the large watercolor print are my favorites😍❣️🥰*

[@DesertDIY]

They're so beautiful

[@melaniebelter1541]

What a great haul!!! I especially love the big watercolor print and the black lamps!

[@DesertDIY]

My mom helped me pick that out 😉

[@glendamadden9725]

Hey Cory! I love all your makeovers! Been watching your show a few weeks now. I think it’s awesome you’re helping with the charity you’ve chosen. 🥰

[@bettybryson9637]

Loved the tall pressed tin vase and the gold fleur de li and the frame with roses!!! As they were, without different paint!

[@DesertDIY]

So glad! Thank you

[@caregiver1418]

Yes, def paint the top of the candlestick in a matte finish to match the bottom. I'm not fond of glossy either. The large print was beautiful and I love the stand to showcase artwork. Great haul.

[@DesertDIY]

I agree thank you

[@tammyleviner3070]

Ok.. you got me with the screaming bird😂 Of Course, being a lamp lover, i think that one is so unique & beautiful! I would probably rub some antique wax on it to make it look older, its a bit too gold for me personally. The ballerina is gorgeous!❤ Old photos of any kind are my favorite art pieces to collect. I speed to nice ones this weekend, one was a really old antique my MIL inherited, she's got quite a few more I'm storage she's giving me😁stoked!! Love the green wine bottle candle holders, so unique! I personally like the huge metal vase as is, it would probably be pretty painted white and distressed too. I just wouldn't paint if i were keeping it. Love that Fleur- de-lis sign! Leave the big black candle holder as is!! The red hydrangeas are stunning❤ I know the DIY's from this awesome haul are going to be the best, excited to see!!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Tammy! I'm excited for you with your new finds!

[@user-pw1jx8uo2b]

You are an amazing DIY decorator…so creative and truly a joy to watch. Love all of your work and your videos!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much!

[@cathyjackson5959]

Seeing more to talk about!! That 3 piece pictures in the long frame!!! And those lamps with different shades!!❤❤❤

[@DesertDIY]

I'm so glad you liked it

[@cherylgoff8955]

The large metal vase would look very nice painted white and wiped back to show the beautiful embossing

[@DesertDIY]

I like that idea!

[@loiscarteaux9389]

Looking forward to seeing your creativity unleashed on these projects 😊

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you! 😊 I'm feeling very inspired!

[@raneemilliman7130]

That is an impressive shopping experience. I love the pair of lamps, the large picture and the rose frame. Those vases are so big, I can't imagine decorating with them, but I'm sure they will be perfect for someone. You do such a nice job of reworking, restoring, repurposing etc. I enjoy seeing your take on things and I have to admit, there are times I never would have thought to do what you did but find myself really liking it. Your garage looks like it's harboring some great items. Yes, it's work, it's also security and it's fun to see the end results. I don't do this type of work anymore, but I enjoy watching your process and finished product.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much! I can't wait to start turning my creativity wheels and get these projects done

[@debrabell2604]

You had a treat haul. I thought I had a lot to upcycle until you show your garage 😁 love it!

[@DesertDIY]

Haha yes I have a huge "stock" of items to work on

That giant gold vase might be a mid century piece. I didn’t get a good look at it . If it’s not then definitely do what you do. Your ideas are always great.

[@maryoconnell3857]

[@kajlove1]

I always keep in mind that every thrift flipper probably has a storage, shed, attic or room with stuff they need to flip. I have all of the above. Only thing is I pay about $95 a month for a storage. I also need a booth to sell some of my finished stuff.

[@DesertDIY]

Haha yes! I hope you get some space at home to store it so you don't have to pay for storage. I know lots of people who use storage sheds though!
