Deb that piece of furniture that doesn’t have a door, put a pretty curtain over the open space. Something that will match the paint. Love your videos! Keep them coming Deb!

For the dresser that is missing a door you can put a shelf in and a couple of baskets.

Ellie, I love your comment about your Grandpa “ the only one who reads the instructions”. lol. I also love the painted sofa, yes, reupholstering furniture is very expensive….Ellie you are doing a great job of filming/editing.

That buffet was phenomenal! Just put an English rose fabric curtain where the missing door is, maybe on both sides.

[@DreamingCatStudio]

I’ve been watching you since the CC Caldwell days! I did try to paint a pillow, and didn’t follow the rules, so it got crunchy but I still love it… it’s an outside pillow anyway. The biggest Takeaway I have today is how easy it is to change up your color scheme… You’re fearless, Debi! Love to you and your family!

[@itzwaxonwax9899]

I would love to see more BLENDING.....I don't feel like I can do it yet. 💖

[@cosmeticsandpurseswithevelyn]

Another ICONIC Velvet Sofa painted project and you still own and used the original one. Leave it to Debbie to dare paint a Velvet Sofa that will come out GREAT in the end. Perfect girly color too! 👏

[@leslieiannottacronin2176]

Yeah I did it years ago, as an experiment, turned out crunchy. lol Didn’t dawn on me that water would help. I am a blender like you. About 20 years ago, I decided to paint my bedroom set that had been my grandparents. I blended an aqua with a light sea green. Then in places I stamped small leaves, as a surprise. You can only see the up close. I found an awesome 3 piece mirror on the side of the road and swapped out the original mirror. I still love it.

[@LindaM-wt7wk]

Honestly, I remain amazed at your creativity, Debi. And your ability to pull us in & bring us on your journey. You have inspired me to re-decorate & add color to my laundry room (along with a collection of antique purses & vintage kitschy animal planters). Every time I go in to that room, I smile. Thank you for your beautiful videos & for sharing your sweet soul with us.

[@ruthiezophia7118]

It's wonderfully to see how much you all appreciate having each other so Close. Nothing scarier than being alone.

I love love love the sofa. I can’t wait to try painting an upholstered chair or sofa. Don’t know how you drive off without picking up all the freebies of furniture. Wish I could find a place like that. Your apartment is looking cuter and cuter. I’m 75 and would love to paint all my furniture bright like yours. Thanks for sharing 🌸💗💗💗

[@dedrahreynolds2356]

I have never painted upholstery ! But I think it’s BEAUTIFUL !

[@kilodeltawhisky1504]

I love the paint! I bought several samples in August or July and have been enjoying them. The cabinet that was missing a door.? Just remove the other door and use baskets in the space, or not. I adore that you are fearless with color, and that you USE COLOR. So much... upcycling people do is with blah neutrals. Which have their place, but for me the colors you decorate with just make me happy. It's a feast for the eyes. This video hit the spot. I've been blocked a bit this past week. This gets me excited to craft. Thank you!!

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

This is one of your most visually appealing videos thus far!

Love your content!!!! I actually have painted a chair, and you ask if it is crunchy yes mam, I painted it years ago and I still have it ! I have a very expensive velvet sofa I want to paint , I hope I get the courage to do so! I want it black it is a brown ! Love your new sofa ! Color and shape!

[@DebisDesignDiary]

Do a test on the bottom side of the cushions. Our black is the most pigmented of all little black dresses our darkest color it’s going to dry to more of a charcoal black because you won’t be putting a topcoat on, but it’s a great solution. Best wishes.!

Looove the new sofa! 🥰The question I have is: When Is Your Book Coming Out, Miss Debi?!!!!🤔💜🩷🩵🎀🧡☺️

[@flowergirl-yz3ki]

On the free furniture piece missing the door. I would add a shelf and either leave it open or create a little curtain to cover. Beautiful finds. You have a good eye & hate to see things end up in landfill. ❤ The new tags are a great idea!

Love this video! The couch turned out beautifully. Many years ago, I tried to paint a piece of fabric furniture and it got crunchy! The first problem was that I wasn’t using DIY paint😱😳😜🤪 also not nearly enough water. As you may remember about me, I am a furniture rescuer. What you may not know about me are my hoarding tendencies!😂 I admire your strength to not take everything you like from the secret furniture stash location. 🤪😂😂

I think your pink sofa is divine!! Blue and gold was a great choice for your dresser too. Very inspiring. I wish I could get your paint but I'm in New Zealand. Thanks for the great videos.

[@vickimontemayor3262]

Quick comment before I forget. About 10 yrs ago a friend and I were in a thrift store and there was a cabinet similar to this one. It was missing a door also and I bought it for $10. I brought it home, took the other door off, painted whole cabinet blue and used pretty baskets I had painted gold in it. No one knew it had once had 2 doors. I sold it to an attorney for her office.

Ever since I saw your Victorian couch that you painted black, I have been wanting to try this. I want to start small. I have a footstool that I am going to paint. Figuring out the color and any transfers. Love your colors and your products and I'm so glad I found you. And I wouldn't be mad if you had kept everything pink. I like pink. I used your pink on some outdoor bistro furniture. Everyone loves it. Wish me luck! I hope to see more videos of you painting fabric. You have so much talent. Thanks for sharing.❤

I remember you painting that couch in the alleyway. It was inspiring then just as much as it is now. I haven’t painted fabric furniture….yet. Thankful that DIY paint is 20 minutes from me! Yea me!! The missing door…put a vintage wooden box overhanging to the outside a bit. Paint it bright yellow and plant up the box as well as each drawer.

[@ArtfulLivingNHVT]

I used your gorgeous paints on a pair of white upholstered chairs, and turned them into two wildflower meadows! I wish I could share the pic here ~ a wonderful woman bought them and took them off to her sunny Manhattan apartment where I'm sure they are cheering her and all who enter. I didn't topcoat them at all. They were a big draw for my store, as they were in the display window. Time to find another pair! And I love how freely you change colors on your items - DIY Paints give us that freedom, like putting on a new dress 🥰

[@mssassypat]

Your home is so beautiful. Love the new couch and the dresser that you painted

[@kimberlyespinoza7970]

Hi Debi, I love your videos! You asked if anyone has painted their furniture. I have, using regular wall paint! My sofa, two love seats, and 2 wing back chairs. I liked the way they turned out, they feel like leather. I have spilled coffee on my sofa, and it cleans up fantastically! Great with animals too! The finish isn't for everybody, but perfect for me! I'm really interested in using your paint on a couple of my velvet, cane chairs. They are a dusty rose now, but want a terra cotta color when finished. Thanks for your tutorial! 😊

[@veronicabone8835]

The sofa is beautiful and the lampshade painted blue looks so much better to me. I have never painted upholstery but I have painted my jeans and I feel inspired to start painting again. As for the secret place, I would have such a difficult time walking away without taking almost every piece of furniture. 😳

I watched this video while relaxing in my painted chair and ottoman! I got the most comfortable chair and ottoman from a friend but it was an ugly brown and gold pattern…I painted it either salty kiss or monet’s garden. It has lasted really good…it’s used daily. My friend thought I had bought a new chair not used the one that they gave me. Now I really want to paint it another color….wondering if I can do that…. I love your new sofa and I especially love the kissing booth and blue iris combination.

Love your program. I'm not sure why you wouldn't source pillow cases and re-use your pillows instead of going to home goods. I find mine on etsy or go to thrift stores and add my own flair to them. I like that you thrift and are inspired by used items. I find that stores like Home Goods are just as bad as fast fashion. Throw away decor and furnishings that people get sick of that end up in thrift stores. I get inspired by your program all the time. I hope that my comments inspire you.

I have two chairs that I want to paint I bought the stencils to do them and the walls. Wish I could use those transfers on soft furniture. The comments about freckles make me giggle. I hated mine growing up. Now they’ve faded away. I don’t think it’s hoarding it’s your creative spirit that just ant be contained. Hard to reign in when you’re inspired.
