Debbie, I absolutely love your videos. I live in wild, wet and windy West Wales, UK. It has rained here everyday for a year. You live in paradise, surrounded by loving friends and family, creating the most beautiful treasures. You are, quite literally, living my dream. Thank you and your amazing team, for being such a positive inspiration. Much love to you all and Merry Christmas!

[@rachelfinley4505]

Wet, windy, and wild West Wales sounds fascinating! I will watch your vlogs if you have any. We don't see that side of the world much but bet it's beautiful!

[@carlaradke4066]

I had a tuxedo cat that sat in chairs like a human. Cracked me up. I swear I thought she would talk one day sitting in the chair! I've had 10 cats and she was the only cat that ever did that.

[@1recordernut]

I panted my velvet couch and chair! I saw your couch video and did it! 4 1/2 years later, it is still beautiful.

[@jenfultz2807]

I have painted 2 couches 3 chairs, so many tennis shoes I can't even count! Getting ready to get red paint for an upholstered chair... My winter project. ❤ Thanks for your inspiration videos!

[@JillianNorwood]

Beautiful chair, beautiful thoughts, beautiful gifts! Thanks for sharing your wonderful heART! ❤️🩷🩵💚💙💜🧡💛🤍💝

[@dianewielepski3638]

I had those same needlepoint chairs that my grandmother made when my dad was in the Navy fighting in WWII ! She did the needlepoint to keep her mind and hands busy while he was fighting overseas … as her only child. So cool to see your transition!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Also my Julian Pie arrived and it’s been enjoyed by all of us! You are so sweet to remember how much we love it. Definitely a special Christmas treat!!❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄

[@bunnybunny3536]

I remember the first time I saw someone paint an upholstered piece, and it was Hildy on Trading Spaces, she painted a full size couch, something went wrong, it was a such a disaster that production broke the rules and gave Hildy additional funds to replace the couch she ruined lmao.

[@DebisDesignDiary]

Hildy was fearless I was always intrigued. I remember her putting grass on the walls like wallpaper.🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I think a lot of her projects did not work out, but she was very adventurous!

[@MsLouisVee]

Yes, I remember Hilda. She was a disaster

[@michellehamilton1132]

You holding up your projects and your dancing were the whole reason I started watching you! BEST parts EVER !!!!!

[@LB-vl3qn]

Debbie, you must know. Bobby is so in love with you. He can't hide it; he doesn't even try. Also, your chair is totally superfabulous. ~ Lisa

[@kirstenrissling879]

I'm new here... aren't they married??!

[@lezlierussell2834]

I love the fact that you kept the flowers and brightened up the flowers on the chair seat. I love what you did with it! You continue to be an inspiration. Merry Christmas Debi and family!

[@melbabowen4389]

I don’t how you managed to not get paint on that needle point chair cushion. You paint a lot neater than i do!😂😂

[@pa5851]

I would add the doll faces to a 3D painting to make it look like they are smelling flowers that are also 3D! I LOOOVE your videos! Especially the furniture and painting ones ! Lol I know you hear that alot😊 one tiny thing, NOT a negative remark at all but I craft to help with depression and sometimes the music, although beautiful, can sometimes be a little to down😬 again, I think you guys are fabulous!!! Sooo talented, so cute together!!!!❤❤

[@drittenberry1]

This is Grandma from Texas. Merry Christmas Debi to you and your family. Thank you for blessing us in sharing your life

[@elsielaneartgarage]

Hey Debi! Great video as always! Thanks for putting me in it! You’re so sweet. You have no idea how much your support means to me. ❤ Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family! Kristin that cat is amazing!

[@DebisDesignDiary]

I can hardly wait for January Debi, merry Christmas!!

[@DebisDesignDiary]

I can’t wait to see you either. Dionne merry Christmas.!

[@kristinamullen4066]

I love the painting of anything that is depressing and ugly.I have heard ignorant criticisms over the years.Many people have no imagination or sense of fun and seem to be threatened by anyone who does.I feel sorry for them.I love your videos and talent.You're an inspiration to me!!

[@decorizingyourlife]

I started watching and “heard” my name in lights! Lol love the chair!! New subscribers thank you. I am going to post weekly in January! Loving the inspirations and the DIY Paints!!

[@DivaofFire]

In November, I painted a Louis chair with Hey Sailor (fabric) and Faded Burlap (wooden frame). It's amazing and in my bedroom. I sit on it all the time. It NEVER has faded or stained furniture ever. Special thanks to Aspen at Gray Day Relics (your retailer) who coached me through the process.

[@stacid.1186]

I painted a 1980s Ethan Allen couch. It came out amazing. No mold no smell. No bleeding..... Love the chair.. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas

[@ChristineDuval-cy5ck]

Dad's Christmas gift is all the work he does for you. He's the best!!!!! The chair came out very beautiful. I broke my wrist in July. Struggling with stiff fingers (I didn't know to move fingers when in cast) God willing 2024 will be all healed and can craft again.

[@lynnethebeautifulone4145]

When your Dad was talking about Levi's duck... he sounded like Christopher Walken. Haha Whom I adore.

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

Your chair is so pretty! Who cares what other people think!

[@delightfuldeb1218]

Debi, Your chair is absolutely beautiful! I love your painting ideas - so colorful! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@GoodGolly.MissLolly]

Sounds like “gifts” is your love language, Debi. It’s mine too. People who don’t get it think it’s just superficial, but hearing you talking about the gifts you received and are giving in this video really captures it well: it’s showing someone that you listen to them; you care about their needs and interests; and you’re thinking of them

[@christinascire-roberts8960]

Hi Debbie, thank you for the beauty that you create and share. Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy holiday season.

[@KathiShelley]

I have painted lots of shoes over the years. Waaaayyy long before chalk paints! I used a combination fabric paints and furniture/ house paint!

[@bethleonard3800]

Merry Christmas Debi and family! I’m laughing at the knife on the floor and imagining a funny ‘incident’ between the 2 dogs!

[@pamelahowell6064]

I love the fish Bobby got for all the fur babies

[@whatlolawants2167]

Debi, I love the chair! It's definitely a you version of the inspiration photo.❤❤❤

[@lindeehopkins6439]

Debi! How your vid was so needed today...as a content creator, I imagine at times the pressure you might feel is overwhelming, ( I serve in a public platform in church), but today your story especially is used by God to help me greatly. My husband unexpectedly went to Jesus on September 1st. As I ready myself to serve in our church, now w/o him, it's been especially difficult today. Everything you shared really has encouraged me. T Y for your creativity, your stories, sharing your family & your faith in such real ways. Merry Christmas my YT friend. ❤❤❤

[@sandyheredia3027]

Sorry for your loss 😢Merry Christmas

[@DebisDesignDiary]

Praying for you,Lindee am so sorry you lost your husband💔💔

[@heksedansd.2919]

Hello, sweet Debi!🙂 I love everything you paint....allways!- but that kitchen-island....I'm totalt obsessed with!!😊 I just LOVE it!❤ The chair looks beautiful, too!! I wish you and your family a beautiful christmas!❤ Hugs from Norway!🙂

[@georginaledlie7444]

Ohhhh LOVE the chair. Merry Christmas and God Bless.

[@kellihull7600]

What a beautiful recognition of the dark making the bright even brighter! The chair is gorgeous! Merry Christmas Debi and family ❤

[@yogadebra]

Per your inspiration I painted and glittered a chair! Also painted found IKEA cushions and everything turned out great! Haters gonna hate we know that. I feel sorry for their narrow views and you are AMAZing !!!! Keep going and bless you and your wonderful family!❤

[@stacyharris9669]

Gorgeous presents for you and from you❤ you are so wonderful and graceful with your lovely life and family and friends. Wishing you warm and happy and healing holiday wishes. Hugs to you all. The chair looks gorgeous by the way so so cute.

[@IRMA4RT]

IBeautiful work . I miss your dancing. Nest for the new year❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JamiRayVintage]

Granny Chic is very 2023. Just saying. I do love the bright good color. It’s funny because people say I don’t like color. When I go to your house i love it. Then I come home and I love it too. I think for me it’s about the ability to pull it all together. And you my friend know how to pull looks together. And you know I love to paint anything. I have painted just about everything including my children lol. I once painted Odelia green for a costume.

[@lisabevillofficialyoutube7777]

[@lizpeto6797]

So so talented you inspire all the time.I to love. To go thrifing. Never retail unless I really have to .

[@user-hk3nh9qk3r]

Merry Christmas

[@sondranewall4462]

Thank you for your inspiration. I have to paint the chairs from my dining room set, since my dog as a puppy, left teeth marks on those chairs. Watching you is inspiring me to get started. My dog will be 14 in April, so those puppy marks were so long ago. She has no teeth now, I think they became loose when she chewed my furniture, and the vet pulled them years ago. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, your family, and the fur kids in your family. Fur babies are family, my 4 1/2 lb Pomeranian, is a great family member. She dislocated her shoulder by jumping off my bed, had surgery to repair her leg, that failed, and lost her leg last year. My prayers are for that precious little dog to be healthy this year. She is no longer allowed on my bed and must stay in her own bed, since that injury was severe, and because she is so tiny she is very fragile. Thank God she is very healthy other than that.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

What a lovely, thoughtful gift Jami gave you! My pastor uses NKJV as well, but I like the KJV, so I use that. The chair is really cool, although I don’t think it has the same vibe as the inspiration chair. That one was more opulent, yours is more fiesta. Both wonderful in their own way!

[@DebisDesignDiary]

Indeed, it must be the Mexican heritage in me. It had a fiesta vibe for sure.❤ merry Christmas Cynnthia!
