What did you think of this upcycle? Did you like the vlog style of the video where you came along with me on my furniture hunting adventure?
I really enjoyed going along. I'm looking forward to seeing the follow up video.
Really enjoyed the field trip and your message. I also like following along to the end to see how each piece will turn out. The suspense is fun!
Yes! Loved it all!
More vlogs. Loved it❤
Of course, yes! 🤗
Countless times over the years, I've also rescued pieces from the trash. It warms my heart to see a young woman carrying on with this thrifty way of living.
I think you are an amazing kind young woman to help these young people who are aging out of foster care. I believe you are sewing seeds of kindness and you will reap a bountiful harvest.
Thank you Judy. I hope that is true in the form of a brighter future for our children
You're a girl after my own heart. A generous joyful soul God delights in!
Thank you!
Thanks for being one of those amazing people.
Was just about to comment the exact same thing down to the word! 🥰❤️
Thank you so much everyone!
I prefer watching a piece of furniture changing before my eyes, I learn so much more that way. I would have done one of the following :
1. Put chicken mesh on the sides and placed a shelf inside, painted it white with some distressing and used it in a country style kitchen.
2. Painted it duck egg blue and hung vintage style material on the sides, placed a shelf or two inside. Slight amount of distressing.
I think we can all agree that your son did the most work with his little hammer. I can't watch videos where people already show the final product at the beginning. I like the reveal to be a surprise!
HAHAHA love it! Yes, he worked so hard! and I feel the same way
I like the surprise element! Sometimes when I'm watching a makeover I think 'WTH? That's not going to look good at all' And the Viola! I'm totally shocked at how gorgeous it turns out!
Showing the finished piece at the beginning or at the end, are both fine with me. Because either way, I love watching how it got there! 😊
Thank you for the input! Good to know
You do such amazing work, I love what you did with the cabinet. You made me cry at the end too. Good things come to good people! I’m so glad your channel is growing , you deserve it! Your son does great work too, he’s adorable!
Aww I teared up a little while filming that part. Its been a rough two years for the world! Thank you so much! Still hoping to hit 100k this year
Rounded shelved bookshelf, or a small child’s wardrobe, if you had cats I could imagine this becoming a beautiful cat high rise ❤
Yes, mystery!
And it is a mystery as to what on Earth you and your husband (which is a really cool aspect... You guys working together and we get to see) are repurposing this piece into!
Now, back to the video...
Thank you Joy

You are amazing. I love whatever you do, doesn't matter to me, it's just such a pleasure to watch such a kind hearted, humble, beautiful person. 💕🌻
I love that you and your husband can work together on projects. My ex-husband couldn't support me like that. Let him know his team work is appreciated by strangers. And for the record I enjoy watching the process no matter if I see the finished product beforehand.
Thank you Jennifer. And I definitely will tell him
Beautiful!! God bless the lady for telling you about the dresser!!! Preserve the past!!! Most cabinets were built strong tuff! Love your videos!!
I have kept watching your channel, not only because you do amazing things, but because of the surprise element...love it!
Thanks so much my friend
Mama's Best Helper is the cutest ever! I love the completed project. For me, the process is informative and I love the reveal at the end. Keep doing it the Desert DIY way. I hope you're making a unique shelving unit. Can hardly wait to see what it is.
I really like seeing the finished item at the beginning of the video and then seeing all of the work it took to get it nice.
I would make a dollhouse out of it, but then again I make dollhouses out of everything lol. It would make such a lovely little house with curved balcony for a little one.
One idea would be to make it a boho type book shelf. You could use 1"X2" pieces cut to height and set into the piece with the 1" part facing out and spaced about 1/2" apart but only on the curved sides. Place several shelves and stain or paint as desired. I think it would be pretty spectacular when done. Also, as a finishing touch you can put hob nails at the top and bottom of each 1"X2" piece.
Love the idea, if you had room in a bedroom you could make this an accessory cabinet. Keep the hooks on the inside and add chicken wire to the two open sides and you could hang necklaces, earrings , scarves ....add s hooks to hang bracelets and smaller handbags on the outside. :)
I agree this world is full of wonderful people 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗💕🇺🇸
Yes!
Totally brought tears to my eyes. I believe in people too. Thank you for all that you do. Just don't forget to Live in the now.
Aw thank you Angela. Great advice
I like a good mystery.
There are so few things in life that take us for surprise.
There is a saying - at least in Hungarian - One good turn deserves another.:) No wonder friendly people help you in your life because you are a wonderful person who helps others. Oh, and our little boy is the biggest help when I paint furniture, except for the two cats. Haha. Keep doing what you're doing, I love your channel.
Thank you for your kind heart, simple approach and wicked talent. One of my biggest pet peeves is when a home project video or show lay it all out before they even start. Often we will not watch the first few minutes as to not ruin the surprise. Love your attitude and please go with it. Thank you!
Thank you so much Steven
I have this exact cabinet. The jewelry idea is perfect!
I am so glad that you got connected with that idea!
I have one too! Absolutely beautiful paint color. Great job
I have one as well!
I love that you're both tag teaming!!
me too!
Just found your channel yesterday. My 7 y.o. granddaughter and I binge watched it last night! Love it!
Also, keep it a mystery up until the end of the project!
That makes me so happy to hear. When I was a little girl I used to watch decorating shows with my grandmother and it meant the world to me. I definitely credit her for me doing this work as an adult. She inspired me. She passed away this year and it has been very hard on me, not being able to share with her all the things I have done since she has gone. Or just share my life and children with her. Keep on being an awesome grandmother. I am sure it means the world to your granddaughter too.
I am so sorry for your loss. Grandmas and granddaughters are such special relationships. Sending you love and peace for your heart. My granddaughter and I will be watching your uploads and MAKING stuff, too!
Thank you Paula. I am so glad to hear that! Keep on crafting!
You are a kind and wonderful person redoing furniture to give away!
I like the mystery. It keeps it interesting trying to figure out where you are going with the project. You do awesome work and have a great imagination.
I love the mystery beginning of your videos. I wish even the crafters would do that.
God bless you ! And yes there are a lot more good hearted people out there than I ever knew before ❣️☺️🙏✝️❣️
I like the surprise of seeing the finished piece at the end of video.
Me too! Thank you
Shes a beauty! Work your magic and that dresser will be gorgeous. Love the display case to hall tree flip. Such creative vision.
I would much rather be surprised ...to answer your question! And I just want to tell you it was so fun to watch you drive to get that dresser. I’m from Arizona and haven’t been back in almost 20 years. But it looked so familiar and was fun to kind of watch you drive out to the desert! Love your work!!
👍🏻💜🙌🏻🥳
Personally I like watching the process of the restoration. Doesn't matter to me if the before and after show first or last. Recently found you as I just purchased a piece to fix up for the first time. Will look forward to your "magical tips and tricks".
You are a really remarkable human being.
Thank you so much
You did a wonderful job! I like the reveal at the end. It tends to take away from video if you already know the end results. TFS
Great job
So glad your channel is growing Cori! You have the best little helper too! Love what you did with that cabinet!
Square head screws are called Robertson head, and are next to impossible to strip :) I enjoy watching your creations evolve and your gracious attitude.
Thank you Trish
Hi Corie, just love all that you do!! So inspiring and very informative too! Keep the videos coming, I love them!!😍😀
You are definitely one of the amazing people in this world and I appreciate what you do for others! God bless! 💖
The green with that wood color is so pretty,and I love it with the magnolia wreath
What a wonderful transformation. You reinvented it to more of a very useful item for the 🏡 home. Thats why I love watching your channel. Now I'm very excited to see what you end up doing to the piece you had picked up. And its nice to see a married couple work there talents together. Take care. 👋 bye
Thank you Victoria! My husband and I met by working together so we have always worked well together ever since. :)
You are such a kind person 😊 God bless you 🙏✝️
Oh my that hall tree was genius. Loved it and I was drooling over the dresser. 💜
Thank you Renee
The glass is worth money. Sell it on social media or contact an antique dealer. Someone would be glad to have a replacement . Great conversion!
Love the “persisted” shirt and the tag-teaming!
I like waiting to the end to see the finished project. I love this idea! The little one is adorable ❤️
Thank you Mardy Jo!
This is so good! I love the vlogging portion. The view was fantastic.
Thank you so much my friend!!!
I can totally relate to your comment about not knowing why you pick up pieces of furniture when you have so many at home! I can hardly get into my garage and I can’t stop myself from looking on marketplace and Craigslist. I love watching your videos!
I agree with you - very much prefer it being a mystery. Thanks for another great video
Clever repurpose of the cabinet. I can't wait to see the "resurrection" of that antique dresser!!!
Jo
Thank you!!
You are so sweet...I just love your heart...love watching all the transformations you do...❤️❤️❤️
Our community has quarterly bulk pick up where people can put larger items on the curb for trash pick up. There are almost always treasures to be had, free!
I would not have a clue where to start. That's way I so enjoy your time and effort, mostly the results.
Love the hall tree! You are a beautiful soul Corey with all that you are doing to help others... awesomeness!👍👍💕
Thank you so much for saying that!
I really enjoy good staging. It make all the difference in seeing the potential in things. Thanks for sharing your talent! ❣️
I love the surprise. Often when the after is also shown in the thumbnail, I don't even bother to watch the video.
I feel the same way! I have been telling other furniture flipping channels that they shouldn't include the finished piece in the thumbnail as well. Some have changed it up to only show the before, but some are doing well with putting the after pic so who knows
Positive vibes sent your way.....😎😎😎😎
I do love that paint. My color for the moment is Collard Greens. I also mixed Collard Greens with Palmetto and I added Sand Bar to it. I love using this paint. It is really easy to use. The Hall tree is amazing.
Love how you recycle.. love watching your video. Like the surprise. Dont show what you have made it into. Like to see the progress. X you are blessed working as a team bless you all.
I would never have thought to use the China cabinet as a hall tree! The book shelf idea is a good one too. Great ideas!
Thank you Rebecca! So many options
You had me in tears...it is so true...there is so many good people out there...and you are one of them !! Thank you for sharing some behind the scenes footage...love the idea ! In SA 🇿🇦 we dont have such a big need for what you made out of it since we dont have such extreme temp. changes and snow ....I thought off a bookshelf or a table/small desk.Love your final project reveal at the end...lots of love and blessings for you and your family and what you do!! You are AMAZING❣❣💐
I don't like to know ahead of time. Mystery makeover. 😁
Wow, i thought maybe a coffee bar. I passed up 2 freebies on the side of the road. Trying to get my hubby to understand why i need these things. He is slowly realizing i have a new love in my life. I am sharing your video with him so he understands it just isn't me who looks for things on the side of the road. Great job!!
My husband also can’t imagine why I want to take home somebody else’s “garbage!”
Haha you are cracking me up! There are MANY of us who pick up things on the side of the road. Thank you
A little hanging closet for children’s clothes. Or Add shelves for a display unit.
YOU are one of those AMAZING people! Love what you do!!
A haltry?! NEVER would have guessed that!
That is really cute!
I think if I found a curved piece with missing/ irreplaceable glass I might try doing something with wood slats around the curve. And put some shelves in. DIY Dani recently made a TV console like that, it’s super cute, too. (I might remove the pie crust top and save for another project, if I did something that modern, maybe)
Ill have to check out that video! Its always fun turning something into a completley new style
@@DesertDIY I just checked to be sure, her name is DIY Danie on youtube. She made hers from scratch, but I think it might be a good technique for some otherwise hard to fix/ redo pieces! Btw, I love so much that you donate so much of your work to young people aging out of Foster Care. ❤️
Maybe cane in place of glass. !?!? Yep it's fun to wait and see and at the same time as we go along ... makes one start to think what I would do. So yes... more fun to wait.I love greens, grays, blues...more on the dark side. Very cute... good Idea.
I love caning but it is pricey, too! Surprisingly!
You are a precious and talented young woman and I love you. May the Lord Jesus continue to bless you and your family richly!🙏🏻❤️
Oh yeah, I love waiting until the end to see the finished product 👍🏻
I would make an entry garment and shoe drop . Love the mystery!!!!!!
I love this vlog style video💕💕💕The cabinet turned out really really pretty!!
And I can't wait to see how you redo the dresser😍
I'm so glad you like it! That's high praise. Thank you!
I could see turning something like this into a Puppet-Stage for kids. You could cut out the back, and put a shelf about half-way down. Staple "curtains" around the curved top and the back, and around the front of the plywood shelf. The kids could store the puppets under the shelf. A little light in the top might be helpful, too. It would be more work, and cost a bit in plywood and fabric. But I think it would be super cute!
how fun would that be!
I like waiting until the end to see what a piece looks like.
Me too!
What a cool idea! My husband guessed you were making a porta potty. But he also thinks he's funny.😁 I ALWAYS love your ideas. Keep doing what you're doing. I can't wait to see what you do with the dresser.
Haha thats hilarious!
I like seeing the project AFTER its done.
Me too
Cute little helper 😀
So, I was thinking bookshelf and the realized I don't know how I would get the curved shelves without a band or jigsaw. Now I am itching to see what you will do with it! I love the mystery! You are right about the screws they are Canadian (although I don't know if it makes the piece Canadian or not). The screwdriver that goes with those screws is a Robertson, or Robbie as we affectionately call it.
Oh wow!! Brilliant!! SO cute!!
Excited to hear about Patreon. I already support two Patreons. Love that we can help support you guys!
I so enjoy your kind, resourceful personality.
Thank you Marcia
GREAT VIDEO
Thanks for sharing the background story about the dresser, at the end of your video. I CAN SEE HOW YOU GOT EMOTIONAL TALKING ABOUT THAT AMAZING LADY.
Hola, desde Waco, Tx : )
I have one similar that was replaced with plexiglass. You can not tell unless you tap it. I like it because I like a no fuss home.
I’d make an open, curved sided bookshelf for an adult, or add a few partitions in and make a fabulous doll house with super easy access all round 🥰
How cool would this be as a doll house! Love that idea
Such fun to see my Arizona desert. Born in Tucson, raised in Tempe.
Wonderful
Just what I expected. Looks great.
You already know I love the mystery! 😉👍🏼 Thank you for that. I usually always stray away from the before & afters (thumbnails) videos.
Me too! Lol
Can’t wait to see the dresser,,,,Cinderella story,,,,,excited for the next video
Thank you Dodd
That came out beautiful, as was the scenery on your way to get the dresser. I'm looking forward to the video of the repair.
Thank you Jacqueline
congrats on the merch! love that u include your son
I like the surprise of it all!
IDEA #1 - Attach attractive paper to inside back of the cabinet, add shelves for books or to show off collectibles. Paint the cabinet a color(s) that compliment the new paper inside cabinet. Add wire mesh or chicken wire to replace the missing glass so the cabinet contents don’t fall out.
IIDEA #2 - Add shelves to cabinet and paint it with coordinating colors or patterns. Use the upcycled cabinet in a bathroom to hold clean towels, washcloths, etc. Baskets on the shelves can store smaller bathroom paraphernalia.
IDEA #3 - Its crazy but I also thought of making the cabinet into a hall tree, then I got stuck and couldn’t imagine how that could be done. I should have remembered that you can make anything beautiful and practical! 😁
Thank you! Love your ideas Robin!
Thank you very much it turned out very handsome ❤️👍🏼🌵🇺🇸
I like watching and see the finished product
What a cute transformation!
This was super good. Loved driving out in the country with you and ❤️❤️❤️ what you did with the former curio cabinet. Your little guy was so excited and happy and that was joyful to see. You are right - there are good and kind people everywhere. I love your videos so you can do a surprise reveal or you can show the finished piece and then the process to get it there. Whatever appeals to you or makes the best story is what you should do. I will watch everything you put out. I am enjoying your journey. 😊
Thank you so much Deborah!!!
You are a special person to be doing what you do. Also, what a great job you do. congrats
