I thought those drawer pulls would be too large for the smaller drawers but actually was surprised at how appropriate they do look. A very well done piece.
I cannot get over your little baby’s head of hair!! I think babies with so much hair are just so cute! 😍
Love the gold on the side shelves with the paint color. Very soothing and elegant.
So beautiful that that sweet baby is just sleeping away while you talk.
Might I suggest that you repaint those little knobs on the doors with a beige kind of color so that it will match the new knobs?!?! It all turned out so beautiful!! 💖
On the gold paint, fancy artists of years gone by would have a deep red paint under gold leaf. It just makes the gold look richer and deeper. Maybe something to experiment with? But I agree, it looked really good in the alcove parts. You have so much talent
One way to cut down on taping or scraping mirrors and glass is to lightly wet newspaper and it will stick to the glass/mirror. Paint and remove. You should have little or no scraping. I've used this technique and it works great. Congrats on the new house. Hope it will be perfect for your family. I know you will make it look lovely.
That little guy has my heart just by having such a happy voice over finding paintbrushes.
Thank you Michelle. He is such a special guy
Love what you did to your cabinet. I wasn't sure about the gold, but wow it looks great. Oh my goodness, I don't think I've ever seen a baby with so much hair. It's so thick and long. She's absolutely adorable.
Hi Cory, love your pieces and DIY, you are an inspiration for me. About the little boat you bought, this is a caravel and Belem is a discrict in Lisbon, Portugal. From here the ships left the harbor to discover the world in the 1500. And t hey discover quit a lot of it. Sorry the english... all the best
Wow that is very interesting. I love history. Thank you Helena. Your English is great
Beautiful baby, so much hair! And your wee lad is growing into an amazing little man. Always lovely to see your husband and kids chipping in. We all need a team!
Beautiful! Next time try deck of cards on mirror or glass pane--tuck the cards in, paint, pull cards out while paint still wet--very easy!
Great tip thank you!
Use free color sample cards from the paint section of your hardware store or junk mail.Don’t pay for paper! I get enough junk mail and fake credit cards to do every glass! And Maddox furniture is considered some of the best mass-produced furniture in this country! Maddox literally invented most of the equipment that is still used to produce furniture in a factory setting!
Wow! I wouldn't have thought of gold in the shelf inserts. This is a beautiful piece and you restored it to a new level. You have such an imagination for furniture.
I love all your helpful hints, thank you;) Would love to see a trash to treasure, like literally finding trash furniture on the side of the road and fixing it up;)
I have many videos like that in my trash to treasure playlist
I can not weight to see your new home and the adventures in decorating and decor that that will bring for us the viewer!
Love to see a creative mom and her husband and children.
Its beautiful Corie. I cant believe how fast the baby is growing. She has so much hair. . Very beautiful baby!! Beat wishes for you and hour sweet family on your move.
Thank you Charlotte. It feels like she was just born yesterday
Wow! It came out so beautiful! And you look absolutely stunning! It's hard to believe you just had a baby! She's so adorable and you have such a beautiful family. God bless. ❤️
Thank you so much Jennifer!!!
I must be strange I love the red and even yellow that comes with mahogany and cherry wood. When I was little stains were made to copy that look from other woods. Both especially the red make for a rich look for me.
I figured a move was in the works for you. Very excited for you, especially since you are planning and making such gorgeous pieces to go in it. Aurora looks so beautiful! What a good baby too, she slept through it all.
Its hard to believe the before and after. It is gorgeous and high-end. Lovely paint choices and hardware. You are so talented! Love seeing your little ones and hubby involved too. Great accessory choices for French Country. I'm excited for your move. 🚛😉
Thank you so much Martha
Awesome transformation! Looking forward to see how you decorate your new home. The baby's hair just amazes me. So beautiful! A suggestion for the house-shape vase--try greenery that trails over the side. That might disguise the fact that the opening is one-sided
turned out soooo good... and that sweet sleeping baby was the icing on the top of the cake in this video!! thank you for sharing!
The gold inside was a cool idea👌
Wow, never would have picked gold looks awesome. So cute baby. Love Frence country my favorite style. As always beautiful job.
Beautiful work Sweetie! You have excellent taste. I’ve enjoyed your new home tour, too and look forward to any new ones. Thank you for sharing!
You are very gifted with your hands your ideas with choices of designing is great the gold inside of the cabinet matched up with the color used on the outside cabinet..
oh my, this is GORGEOUS!
and as someone who inherited my mother's mahogany and isn't really a fan of so much dark wood, your how-to-lighten it has me very excited! thank you so much!
Another gorgeous piece. I don't know how you do it but you make them absolutely stunning.
I admire your work and the respect you show your family
Thank you so much
Beautiful. I love French country and Victorian. Can’t wait to see your new home
You truly have an artist's eye. Everytime I see the "before" I think, "nope that's too far gone, too ugly. You can't make that beautiful". Then by the end I absolutely adore the pieces.
Another beautiful job.
I so admire your vision.
The baby is so adorable.
Thank you Rhonda
The ginger jar is probably Japan black - a fantastic colour for woodwork too 😊 - loved seeing your baby girl too
My skin hurts just thinking about how dried out wood gets in the dessert. Wonderful to see it rehydrated and restored!
Yes!!! Thank you Tina
I just love everything!!! I live the pulls and the colors you chose!!!
What a beautiful makeover. It is gorgeous!!!
Thank you. This is one of my fav pieces of furniture I own
Beautifully finished . Beautiful baby
Good luck in your new home.
I am so glad you gave us tips on mahogany wood I'm going to be painting mahogany dresser in the future shortly and I did not know about it bleeding through thank you very much for the tips
I so wish we had places in England with the amazing choice you have in stores for DIY chic, we have nothing like that...which is a bummer...as i love giving old furniture a French country look...love watching your ideas 👍
I saw a show once that was filmed in England where a woman would take furniture projects from the local garbage collection site. Is that a possibility
@@DesertDIYHi.. it isn't allowed around our area to take anything, once it goes through the gates to the skip ..once they did allow us years ago and I got some lovely pieces of furniture but it's all change for health and safety reasons,we have second hand shops but the prices they charge for vintage items is ridiculous even charity shops, I usually try and catch people in the area who are house clearing or throwing something out iv been lucky that way...🙂
Thanks for the tutorial. Beautiful piece and great job
Beautiful piece. I thought it might be hopeless. Great job.
Wow! It came out gorgeous. Hope you're staying up north in our Desert state. Your daughter is so cute.....sleeping babies are the best.
Thank you so much Linda
Love all the pieces you bought,,,right up my alley,,,,,love the prints,,,
Thank you Dodd
You did an amazing job...as usual. Nice piece of furniture for your new home. Congratulations.
Thank you Betty
Mix all the tan paints like you did the green. It saves money, and you end up with a new color.

Thank you Sharon
Corey , you did an awesome job on the French Country Antique. Plus you have a great haul. Thanks for sharing 💖
Thank you Gina! Hope you're having a great day
@@DesertDIY you’re welcome, Corey. I am enjoying my day. 💖
Love the aqua sconces from hobby lobby
I love French country. OMG you got some deals at hobby lobby. I love those mirrored sconces. The deals at Hobby Lobby are better than thrifting it seems.
Yes they can be!
Beautiful transformation. I'm always so impressed with your vision. Thanks for sharing baby with us. It's fun when your little helper pops in.
Thank you Janet!
Hi Corey, LOVE your channel and looking at all of your creative endeavors. I appreciate how you give back to the community. Wo dering if you could do a tutorial or give some pointers on how you inspect for pests, bed bugs, lead paint, or any other undesirables on curbside finds? Could you also name any products you use to treat these? Thank you for all you do!
Beautiful work. Beautiful concept and beautiful design.
Thank you Kathleen!
Love this piece! The color is perfect.
Thank you Janice
Beautiful transformation.
I had to walk away when you were going thru your paint colors and came back to your pick which I loved! The pulls were perfect for the French country look! Enjoyed the Hobby Lobby trip and your buys!
Thank you Kitty!
This piece turned out beautifully and I like your new style! It’s so exciting that you’ll have a new home to furnish and decorate. Have fun!
Thank you Michele. I am beyond excited
I know it's your peace hun at the hogany is a red wood and it's one of the most beautiful red Browns I've ever seen other than cherry
Wow! Amazing job and absolutely beautiful! Good luck on your move! Thanks for sharing your great Hobby Lobby finds!
About those bowls...BEFORE USING them for food, THOROUGHLY BLEACH them, as substances (from previous food use) absorb into the wood. Put them outside, in the sun, to dry. After they have been sanitized, treat the bowls, inside and outside, with an appropriate oil that is safe for foods.
Thank you Amelia, I intend to only use them for decor
What a beautiful piece it turned out to be.
Thank you Pamela
Omg love it! I too love French design! The color on this piece is perfect. Hoping your move goes well, your baby looks so cute😊

I wondered how long y’all were stationed there, or when y’all would be pcs’ing. But I guess now I know. Good luck with the move and the next base. Can’t wait to see more flips.
Thank you! We aren't active duty military we are just moving to my husband's home state :)
Beautifully done!! CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW HOME.💐💐
Thank you Belinda!
Looks Fabulous.
Beautiful! I’m anxious to find out about your new home!
Congratulations to you and your family on the new home 🏡
Love the French theme you are going for and the refinishing of the cabinet turned out excellent 👍 I thought the gold turned out fantastic --- it illuminates the recessed area!!
Many years ago, I had a business of painting statuary ( faux bronz, marble, etc ) and did many columns. Looking forward to seeing how your columns turn out 😉 Take care 😀
Thank you Bettina. That sounds like a really neat job. I bet you are VERY talented
It turned out beautifully---cool thrift and Hobby Lobby finds, too :) Congrats on the upcoming move with your beautiful family--hope you'll chronicle the process for us! Just redid my kitchen in French Provincial and am loving it....you're so right about that style being different from Farmhouse or Shabby Chic....it's exactly what the space needed; and did the bulk of it with decoupage-ing lovely floral drawings which I saved from old wall calendars. CHEAP and MAGNIFIQUE!! LOL
That sounds BEAUTIFUL. thank you Karen
Awesome!
The cabinet turned out so beautiful.
Gold on those raised lines/parts would also be very French.
Great suggestion Susan. I was afraid to try that because of how much gold was inside the glass cabinets
