@@Okie-Girl yes we respond to emails. I have Alma she is my customer service gal. Maybe you are sending to the wrong email? The email is alma@debisdesigndiary.com. She checks email for me Monday through Friday and usually responds within 48 hours so sorry you were having trouble.❤
I love how you address comments - you have great substantiated things to say. I especially like that you brought up ownership - yes! It’s mine; I can do what I want to with it because I own it! And then you gently remind us we have the power to do, or not to do, with our own stuff. Your kindness always comes through, Debi.
You're amazing, I don't know why people question an artists vision. If they don't like something, they should either move on or stay and be pleasantly surprised. I got hooked years ago when you would tell family, life stories in your videos, along with the different music that I hadn't heard before, but look forward to now. Can't wait till the next one.
@@DebisDesignDiary Like Brenda, I got hooked with the family stories as well. Quirky yet so relatable. And Debi’s style is to die for. She thinks of things to create that would never enter my mind! Even when I don’t particularly like a piece, I always find inspiration and always watch till the end. A creative like Debi is what makes the world bright and fun. Nobody has the right to tell a creative they shouldn’t do or not do a project or that they haven’t done it correctly! The bloody nerve! 😡. My best wishes for Debi & her wonderful family as well as those who work for her, Happy, happy holidays. Peace & Love, Lisa 🇬🇷
Unfortunately, you're always going to have people who may dislike something, usually they are the ones who don't do any creative project making, they'd rather go out and buy something already done, and hundreds (or more) are made the same way. I prefer a unique piece, with an artist who puts heart and soul into it. That's the art that speaks to me. A piece that moves you. I love the couch you did in black with the transfers, stunningly beautiful. Keep doing what you're doing, and being the unique person God made, and blessed you to create such wonderful art!! :))😊💖🎨
Debi I just love everything you do I love the quirkiness and the weird and wonderful things you create you have given me much inspiration but not many of my friends like my style which does not really surprise me I never want a beige or a bland house it has to burst with color it makes me happy. Thanks for all the time you put into your videos. Just love them x
Debi, I'm a realtor and this past year I showed a house that had Chartreuse throughout, including the kitchen cabinets. The colors she used with the furniture and accessories looked amazing with the the walls and cabinet colors! You can definitely choose bold bright colors and still give it a grown up look. By the way, I would totally paint on antique furniture and don't care who likes it! :)
Oh my word I watch your videos and love them all! I have painted my couch and a matching fabric ottoman and it is dying not painting!! I dyed it using a brush!!!! I have painted lots of stuff I am in love with your chalk paint!! If you watch the vids and do what Debbie says it honestly works out!!

Everything you create Debi is amazing! Simply amazing!!!! Jealousy is a powerful motivator for negative comments. Knowing this takes the sting out of them and can even spark compassion as jealousy is usually due to low self-worth. Debi, your videos bring me so much joy! Thank you for sharing your art with the world!
I agree, beautiful creative expression is for the one who is not afraid to express. I love creating and painting anything and I don't care what others think of my work. I love it and I will enjoy the creative journey. Be proud of your work! It belongs to you. I will always cheer you on.
@@Sonshine1038 I am so happy to hear you say that, that is true freedom! I don’t mind the comments so much after all these years it just hurts my heart that they may discourage others from being creative. My hope is to encourage people to be fearless with their art💜💜💜
@DebisDesignDiary I agree Debi, it hurts my heart too to see people be cruel. I had someone tell me my room was too busy. I just posted "lol." Everyone else gave me great comments on FB. I just moved into a new home that was a mess and need TLC. My crazy style made it breathtaking. Keep up the beautiful work.
@@DebisDesignDiaryyou are truly an inspiration! Thank you for the pep talk and I am working on my deer in the headlights fear! I love when you jump in and do all the things! I’m gonna do that!!❤ Merry Christmas Debi and family!
Thank you! You are amazing and creative. I really don't understand why people are rude. We all have a vision on what we like. Be happy take inspiration and move on! Happy Holidays😊
I don’t understand people when they even have to point out the negative. Sure there are some things that we all don’t like, but I’m not gonna say it to someone. I just love your videos and art will always be art in whatever way people apply their technique. that’s what makes them creative❤❤
I think this is one of my favorite videos. To see all the different styles was cool. The heart ypu have for people being successful and having fun creating was clearly front and center.
GREAT video!!! ❤❤❤ painting furniture. Functional art, to me is THE best! People who don’t like, don’t have to watch. It is as simple as that. Merry-Merry and Happy-Happy to you and yours! 🎉👏🏻🥳 🎄 🎅
The chair you rescued from the landfill is, in a word, gorgeous! Your blending on all the creations I have seen is exquisite. You are a master visionary and take up cycling beyond beautiful. My search is on for the perfect piece to elevate - I’ll now know it when I see it 🤞🏻. Thank you for sharing your creative genius and your gift to inspire.💕
Debi, thank you for your beautiful generous heart in sharing all these other wonderful inspirational artists. I am on inspiration overload! The nego comments are nutso! I love that you give them a heart. ACIM says everything is either love or a call for love--the nego's are just calling out for love and your giving them a heart is a beautiful response. Thank you Debi--I am so happy to have found your channel and I am excited to visit the others that you have shared. Merry Christmas!
I consider myself an old “hippie” and love bright colors but I’m envious of you because I don’t have the courage to be as colorful as you. I love how you encourage everyone to try. I’m like that ither commenter, I buy the paint, thrift items to make over and they just sit there, but I will get to it. You help me be determined ❤
You should delete all the negative comments, they don't really help in any way. Keep positive vibes and energy around you. It's your page, your business and plenty of people love what you do. I loved all of the pieces you showed in this video, and I think the negative comments are joy stealers and don't help anybody. That's just my opinion. I doubt those people would say those things to your face, and if they did it would be very rude!
I do agree with you. Each platform is really different on my RUclips channel. If the comments are super mean, I will delete them because I don’t like fighting and often people will jump in and reply and then it just turns into a long argument I want my channel to be a positive place. Most of these comments are coming from Facebook on the short videos that we post we post short videos every day and it’s really hard to keep up with those comments. It gets out of control over there. I like RUclips a lot better.
Nice video!! I am a believer in "if it is your furniture you can do whatever you want with it"! If I don't like it I don't have to watch or don't have to paint the way you do. I wish people were more tolerant and encouraging for artists (or anyone) doing their own thing. The world would be a very boring place if we all liked the same thing!!!! Merry Christmas and Joyous New Year!
Art is special and we always show it in our own way, if people don't like what we express then they don't have to look at our work. I think all art is beautiful whatever we choose to do be it paint or material just whatever takes your fancy 😅😅😅 love you debi and your work ❤❤❤❤
Dear Debbie, my friend that I've never met. watching your for years... always so happy to see and hear your story's. along with all the other woman on you tube telling you what a inspiration you are to me, we love you. MERRY CHRISTMAS DEBBIE !!!
I enjoy seeing all different artistic vision from different artists ! It makes life interesting! What doesn't appeal to someone my just be something someone else loves ! You can't stifle an artist creativity or their vision of art ! That's why I ❤️ artists! They all have free expressions and it shows in every work they produced! There's No boundaries! Just free expressions 🤗🙂 That's why I love your videos!
Yes, that one started off as a burnt orange color. I painted over it with kissing booth and blue. Iris blended it together to create sort of a purple and some areas and a fuchsia. The video is linked in the description box if you’re interested in seeing all the detailshope you have a wonderful holiday season❤❤❤❤
I think you are incredibly talented! The projects of yours that you included here are some of my very favorites. You are absolutely an inspiration! and you are always so generous about sharing your tips and tricks and the process by which you create your masterpieces. My mom died this morning so I especially appreciate the way you share your family with us. I wish all of you a very merry Christmas or a happy Hanukkah. Enjoy the holiday and each other❤
@@jenpink4298 oh my goodness I am so sorry you lost your mom! Saying a prayer for you that God will comfort you and surround you and only the way that he can 🙏🙏
This was so fun to watch, Debi!! Thanks for including me, too!! Sometimes, we just gotta paint over what we painted. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as an artist is you can’t get attached to what was…it’s all a process. Stay curious Friends!!!❤
I love your attitude, positive and encouraging 🥰❤️ This is supposed to be a fun and happy place, and it is for me! I appreciate all of the work that goes into the projects and producing the videos, very much!! Thank you for sharing and being a bright spot in my week when I get to sit down and learn something new 😊 I hope that you and your wonderful family have a great holiday season!!
It’s not uncreative people, it’s people that are jealous of a super talented successful woman (who should take all the stupid and nasty comments with a grain of salt) Those who recognize and respect Debi’s talent love her. Can’t wait to watch her videos to what she’s going to come up with next.❤
I love everything you do! No reason for people to be rude. Some of the projects may not be my personal taste, that doesn’t mean I don’t admire and respect the artistic vision of the creators.
I constantly take photos,even if its a flower because of the shapes and colours,everything can be an inspiration,you don't have to complete it all at once ,small steps can create a masterpiece x
I don’t understand why people feel the need to post negative comments. Everyone has different taste so if it’s not your style and you can’t at least appreciate the creativity, time and love that went into it then just move on. Personally I liked all the projects but my absolute favorite is your black couch with the transfers. I want it. I’ve bought a vintage settee to try and attempt something similar once I have my color plan. Thank you for all your inspiration.
I have watched all the fabric paintings videos and am amazed. I’m one of those that has to touch it see experience it. It is amazing that it does not transfer to your clothes or skin. !
I think that all of your work is beautiful. I am always amazed at the process where I am not sure it will be pulled off and then as you keep going it works out wonderfully. You are very talented and very inspiring. I like how you teach as well. You are very captivating and the videos are wonderful to watch with all of the colors. I am always amazed. Thank you for being who you are.
You are Brilliant! ! I love color, however, not so brave to use it. This New Year, I was to step up and use more paint colors in my home. Thanks for the courage. God Bless
I love all of your videos! And I really love watching others rescuing unwanted furniture and making it new again - bringing out fantastic details with paint that would not be noticed with a dark wood stain. I will never understand why people have to leave negative comments, why don’t they just leave the video if they don’t like it, keep scrolling?!!!! I will say I also gasped when Dionne painted over that beautiful dresser- but I get it too- and those pink leopards are awesome!
@@maureenmunro2826 yes it is the learning that holds all of the value! Even projects that don’t turn out the way we hope our are filled with great experience and priceless knowledge.
I love all your ceations! Your boho style suits you... keep on creating content and doing what you love‼️ That's what makes Debi's DIY Paint and products unique ❤❤
I think everyone should do what they want artistically. Those antiques would just sit in those antique stores and rot. They should be loved. Thanks Debi for showcasing those artists. I’m not artistic but I love your videos. What makeup do you use? It looks beautiful. Your freckles are cute too. My grandkids have them, love them!
I think your amazing Debi, love your paint and what you do. Your middle name is adventurous lol love it 🥰 What do people feel the need to be nasty, if you don’t like it don’t watch.
I love you Miss Debi, and the way you say “Crunchy” had me rolling. 😂 My thing is, if people don’t like my art or understand my vision it is of no consequence to me. . . They must be miserable. 😬
I love watching you. Haters gonna hate. Keep doing you. My style is different, but I appreciate all you do and what I learn from you. Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family ❤
*standing ovation* I've been a fan since your green couch! Even if I didn't think that what you created was my style, I'd heart it anyway just for the algorythms LOL! The people who critisize and hate don't have anything better to do, and thats really sad. YOUR art on the other hand cheers more people, encourages other creative hearts and brings fellow creatives together and isn't that where the magic and beauty really lie?!! Keep doing you Debi
Oh my goodness! Your video is timely to my life. I teach alternative high school within a traditional high school and I can tell you that society has changed. Opposition, lack of accountability, and just plain meanness has leeched into our youth. It is my belief that our nuggets have gotten it from social media and all of the adults they encounter each day. I could not do what you do, as I take everything personally. I am an aspiring furniture artist in my spare time and I absolutely fear the staging, posting, and selling part because people are just so mean! I LOVE YOU (and DIY paint) to pieces! Keep your sense of humor- I think that’s how you get through!?!
DEBI!!! You just gave me the Greatest inspo! I have an antique couch that looks a Lot like the one you stenciled on. Mine is burgundy, and it's not a pretty burgundy either. I've had it in my flea market booth for Months now, with no interest. I am going to paint and use your stencils on it! It's cold here right now, and I don't have a heated space to work in, but the second it starts warming back up, I'm on it! (and I can barely wait!)
Emily from weathered hearts consistently creates the most inspiring projects. She is unbelievably talented and definitely worth following. She has a RUclips channel and a very active Facebook and Instagram. I hope you give her a look. I linked her up in the description box. Thank you so much for your kind words and have a wonderful holiday season.❤
Just ordered the painterly 12 pack! I’ve been wanting to try it out so thank so much for the SALE! I love all your videos and that you show the struggle. Merry Christmas 🎄
it's nice debbie that you have that positive mindset by those rude comments. here in Manila..we only have two seasons .so Our furnitures be soaked in water or be brittled and sun damaged. and we only have super old antiques that are dark and very heavy with masterly crafted. 😂. so me.just enjoying watching your videos with friends in awe...love you guys ❤️❤️❤️
You aren't trying to please people on the Internet; you are trying to educate plus create items that YOU love. Your style isn't my style but I can take a technique you use and incorporate it into my style. Love watching your videos! ❤
Debi that painted chair video is why I started following you and I have watched it over and over again. I’m still looking for a chair in the trash 😂 to start painting but instead I was given a little love seat kinda like the one you painted black and put those beautiful transfers on that turned out absolutely amazing!!! I just gotta do it like you say 😬 thanks for sharing all these amazing creators with us and all your amazing ideas too. Just cause you don’t like a color that is being used then just use a different one?!?!? Why doesn’t everyone else get that? You and all those other artists are our inspiration and I want to thank you for that❤
I've been watching for years. A friend at work had a table & chair set given to her and the apolstery was stained. I watched the green sofa video several times as I painted her chairs. Anyway, I used your Bohemian blue & Liquid patina and they are not crunchy. They are soft, not as the original fabric, but still soft and pliable. I love your paint! I used to think it was so expensive, until I looked at a craft store for chalk paint. That was expensive! So yes, I'll take DIY any day!! Sorry so long winded
Omg. You crack me up. Everything you do I love. Those people are just complainers. Guess they never heard … if you don’t have anything nice to say… well
As usual Debi, as much as I enjoy watching your channel, I’m depressed because we can’t get your wonderful paints & supplies over here in Europe. 😢😢😢 Ditto all the IOD supplies as well. What you create with your paints & IOD’s transfers, moulds & stencils…..oh my! I’m so envious! 😔😔😔 Good new year to you and your lovely family. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥰🥰🥰🥰
Just watched a podcast saying how do a review or thoughts on someone else’s video is awesome for algorithms!! Now I see why! I loved this video a lot! So much information on how to do techniques too! Good job!! Funny sayings. I got to watch again! P.S. love you!!!!!!
Thank you Debi ❤so much for including us in this wonderful line of artists including you . If we could find the words to describe how grateful we are for you it would take awhile. We absolutely adore you and your down to earth kind spirit. The day someone told us years ago to burn the piece we created. We had to create a thicker skin. I say if you don’t care for it , that’s ok just move on to what you like. But, those comments to me are completely unnecessary which a lot of times comes from something within them. It’s not going to stop our art community from creating and exploring the beauty of art. Btw the day I found you on here with that vintage couch , you were and still are an inspiration in this creative world. ❤. Merry Christmas 🎄 and here’s to all creatives out there KEEP Going ! Keep exploring.
I do the same thing. I screen shot ideas I like and keep them in my photos file. Soooo helpful, especially when I want to hack an expensive Christmas ornament or lamp, etc. 🥰🥰🥰
It's definitely DYING (*NOT painting) I've used DIY PAINT on grout to change the color!❤ It's all pigment! It sinks into the grout and is NOT paint sitting on top of the grout. I've not tried it on concrete but after watching this video I was thinking of trying it on a concrete stepping stone. I bet it might be a fun project! But FYI, just using DIY WHITE SWAN on "meh" looking grout makes it look new & refreshed! 🤫Don't tell anyone.. they think I keep my floor spotless!😉 Debi, I looove your videos❤❤ all of them! Those haters need to zip their lips.. you're so talented and tho I'm not an artist in the way you are..I use DIY paint on furniture and have been a fan for a very long time. Keep up your awesome work.. you have so many gifts! Thank you for all your inspiration!! Have a beautiful Christmas with your wonderful family❤🎄💚 PS now I might try a tiny project pf painting DIY on fabric just because!!😂
My favorite project is your green chest...it sends me!!! Someday, hopefully soon I will try the technique, but I absolutely will try it! Then I have to mention two others...one, your black sofa, one of my all-time favorites and two, dare to be vintage's chest, love this!!! I love color, artsy uniqueness and would not even consider questioning an artist's choice of self expression...well I can think of a few but what I'm referring to is within the scope of what you have discussed and shown in this video. I am an artist at heart and creativity with color lights up my world!!!
I once painted a prim old desk/sideboard that was already painted a crappy color, I painted it a prim mustard and crackled and stained it to resemble old paint, it was beautiful and as I was moving it into the antique store someone said to me, "you aren't going to paint over that beautiful old paint are you"...GEEZ...then later that day the piece sold and I happened to run into the woman that was loading it into her truck, she was so excited to have bought this beautiful, original paint piece...I didn't have the heart to tell her...cray cray...!
Oh my gosh, that’s hilarious! I bet that chair was beautiful because it’s not easy to replicate an old chippy finish good for you and I’m glad it sold right away❤❤❤
A color mixing tip, if you lighten a color with white and it looks milky and washed out add a little by little of your electric yellow green and it will brighten the lighter color. ( Before it alters the color) Example try lightening the pink with white then add the electric yellow green
Unfortunately people hiding behind their screens can be so rude, forgetting that there are real people creating these videos. 99% of them would never walk up to someone in public and tell them their outfit was atrocious. I love painting furniture and surround myself with calm, soothing, neutral colors, but I can appreciate other styles of art and can usually glean some inspiration or wisdom on composition or technique, no matter who the artist is. Like mom always said, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. And to all the haters of painted furniture, ask them how many pieces they've saved from the landfill!
@@NotTooShabbyPatti we love you, Patty and yes, people do not say things in person that are easily said online for the most part 💜 unfortunately it’s part of sharing work. I don’t mind it that much anymore, but I don’t want others to feel afraid to share their work because of comments like this.

Dear Debbie, my friend that I've never met. watching your for years... always so happy to see and hear your story's. along with all the other woman on you tube telling you what a inspiration you are to me, we love you. MERRY CHRISTMAS DEBBIE !!!
I enjoy seeing all different artistic vision from different artists ! It makes life interesting! What doesn't appeal to someone my just be something someone else loves ! You can't stifle an artist creativity or their vision of art ! That's why I ❤️ artists! They all have free expressions and it shows in every work they produced! There's No boundaries! Just free expressions 🤗🙂 That's why I love your videos!
Love this video. Love your painted couch .. from my computer, it looks to be fuchsia. The color is just gorgeous!
Yes, that one started off as a burnt orange color. I painted over it with kissing booth and blue. Iris blended it together to create sort of a purple and some areas and a fuchsia. The video is linked in the description box if you’re interested in seeing all the detailshope you have a wonderful holiday season❤❤❤❤
I am so glad you do not let what negative people say to you!!! You do you!!!
I think you are incredibly talented! The projects of yours that you included here are some of my very favorites. You are absolutely an inspiration! and you are always so generous about sharing your tips and tricks and the process by which you create your masterpieces. My mom died this morning so I especially appreciate the way you share your family with us. I wish all of you a very merry Christmas or a happy Hanukkah. Enjoy the holiday and each other❤
@@jenpink4298 oh my goodness I am so sorry you lost your mom! Saying a prayer for you that God will comfort you and surround you and only the way that he can 🙏🙏
@ ❤️
I love that black couch with the florals on the upholstery. Oh my goodness it’s the most gorgeous gorgeous thing.❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was so fun to watch, Debi!! Thanks for including me, too!! Sometimes, we just gotta paint over what we painted. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as an artist is you can’t get attached to what was…it’s all a process. Stay curious Friends!!!❤
Haters gonna hate. People don’t listen! Keep on doing what you do !!! I love what you do!!!
You truly are an artist and a wonderful inspiration. Your creativity and your business acumen are equally encouraging
Wow, I love how the black sofa with transfers turned out. Just beautiful😊
I love your attitude, positive and encouraging 🥰❤️ This is supposed to be a fun and happy place, and it is for me! I appreciate all of the work that goes into the projects and producing the videos, very much!! Thank you for sharing and being a bright spot in my week when I get to sit down and learn something new 😊 I hope that you and your wonderful family have a great holiday season!!
People are horrible. Uncreative people can’t see past the end of their own noses.
Yes I agree 👍 💯
It’s not uncreative people, it’s people that are jealous of a super talented successful woman (who should take all the stupid and nasty comments with a grain of salt) Those who recognize and respect Debi’s talent love her. Can’t wait to watch her videos to what she’s going to come up with next.❤
I love all your videos including the ones that are not my style ❤ Thank you for sharing your talent ❤
I was weiting to watch a video of your Home, your sister's Home and your dad's Home decorated for Christmas.
@@rosamariapaniaguadebarry6415 i’m sorry things get so hectic at Christmas that my house is a mess right now. Maybe next year💜💜💜
I love everything you do! No reason for people to be rude. Some of the projects may not be my personal taste, that doesn’t mean I don’t admire and respect the artistic vision of the creators.
I constantly take photos,even if its a flower because of the shapes and colours,everything can be an inspiration,you don't have to complete it all at once ,small steps can create a masterpiece x
I don’t understand why people feel the need to post negative comments. Everyone has different taste so if it’s not your style and you can’t at least appreciate the creativity, time and love that went into it then just move on. Personally I liked all the projects but my absolute favorite is your black couch with the transfers. I want it. I’ve bought a vintage settee to try and attempt something similar once I have my color plan. Thank you for all your inspiration.
I have watched all the fabric paintings videos and am amazed. I’m one of those that has to touch it see experience it. It is amazing that it does not transfer to your clothes or skin. !
I enjoyed you going over and explaining everything and agree people need to stop the rudeness.
I think that all of your work is beautiful. I am always amazed at the process where I am not sure it will be pulled off and then as you keep going it works out wonderfully. You are very talented and very inspiring. I like how you teach as well. You are very captivating and the videos are wonderful to watch with all of the colors. I am always amazed. Thank you for being who you are.
You are Brilliant! ! I love color, however, not so brave to use it. This New Year, I was to step up and use more paint colors in my home. Thanks for the courage. God Bless
I love all of your videos! And I really love watching others rescuing unwanted furniture and making it new again - bringing out fantastic details with paint that would not be noticed with a dark wood stain. I will never understand why people have to leave negative comments, why don’t they just leave the video if they don’t like it, keep scrolling?!!!! I will say I also gasped when Dionne painted over that beautiful dresser- but I get it too- and those pink leopards are awesome!
Thanks for being you, standing up to mean comments and creating such great products!
Love your work Debi. You are a wonderful artist with a great knowledge of color.
Oooooo that painted black sofa! Gorgeous!
My favorite video in this series is the black sofa. I think she is absolutely gorgeous. Good job.
It’s just paint. If you don’t like the results you just repaint….learning is a process!❤❤
@@maureenmunro2826 yes it is the learning that holds all of the value! Even projects that don’t turn out the way we hope our are filled with great experience and priceless knowledge.
Happy holidays to you and your family Deb ❤🥰❤
I love all your ceations! Your boho style suits you... keep on creating content and doing what you love‼️ That's what makes Debi's DIY Paint and products unique ❤❤
I think everyone should do what they want artistically. Those antiques would just sit in those antique stores and rot. They should be loved. Thanks Debi for showcasing those artists. I’m not artistic but I love your videos. What makeup do you use? It looks beautiful. Your freckles are cute too. My grandkids have them, love them!
I think your amazing Debi, love your paint and what you do. Your middle name is adventurous lol love it 🥰
What do people feel the need to be nasty, if you don’t like it don’t watch.
I love you Miss Debi, and the way you say “Crunchy” had me rolling. 😂
My thing is, if people don’t like my art or understand my vision it is of no consequence to me. . . They must be miserable. 😬
I love watching you. Haters gonna hate. Keep doing you. My style is different, but I appreciate all you do and what I learn from you. Merry Christmas and blessings to you and your family ❤
*standing ovation*
I've been a fan since your green couch! Even if I didn't think that what you created was my style, I'd heart it anyway just for the algorythms LOL! The people who critisize and hate don't have anything better to do, and thats really sad. YOUR art on the other hand cheers more people, encourages other creative hearts and brings fellow creatives together and isn't that where the magic and beauty really lie?!! Keep doing you Debi
Love them all! We need to pray for the haters… do not ever change! You are wonderfully made! 😘😘😘
Next time I see you, Beth we will pray for them together ❤❤❤ merry Christmas, my friend❤
Oh my goodness! Your video is timely to my life. I teach alternative high school within a traditional high school and I can tell you that society has changed. Opposition, lack of accountability, and just plain meanness has leeched into our youth. It is my belief that our nuggets have gotten it from social media and all of the adults they encounter each day. I could not do what you do, as I take everything personally. I am an aspiring furniture artist in my spare time and I absolutely fear the staging, posting, and selling part because people are just so mean! I LOVE YOU (and DIY paint) to pieces! Keep your sense of humor- I think that’s how you get through!?!
Just keep on being you! You’re incredible 🥰 May you and your family have a very Merry Christmas 🎄
DEBI!!! You just gave me the Greatest inspo! I have an antique couch that looks a Lot like the one you stenciled on. Mine is burgundy, and it's not a pretty burgundy either. I've had it in my flea market booth for Months now, with no interest. I am going to paint and use your stencils on it! It's cold here right now, and I don't have a heated space to work in, but the second it starts warming back up, I'm on it! (and I can barely wait!)
Emily's was beautiful❤ You have grown so much Debi and you never give up, I love that!❤❤
Emily from weathered hearts consistently creates the most inspiring projects. She is unbelievably talented and definitely worth following. She has a RUclips channel and a very active Facebook and Instagram. I hope you give her a look. I linked her up in the description box. Thank you so much for your kind words and have a wonderful holiday season.❤
Love all your videos, Debi. Merry Christmas to you, your staff, and your family. ❤️❤️❤️
Just ordered the painterly 12 pack! I’ve been wanting to try it out so thank so much for the SALE! I love all your videos and that you show the struggle. Merry Christmas 🎄
it's nice debbie that you have that positive mindset by those rude comments. here in Manila..we only have two seasons .so Our furnitures be soaked in water or be brittled and sun damaged. and we only have super old antiques that are dark and very heavy with masterly crafted. 😂. so me.just enjoying watching your videos with friends in awe...love you guys ❤️❤️❤️
You aren't trying to please people on the Internet; you are trying to educate plus create items that YOU love. Your style isn't my style but I can take a technique you use and incorporate it into my style. Love watching your videos! ❤
Debi that painted chair video is why I started following you and I have watched it over and over again. I’m still looking for a chair in the trash 😂 to start painting but instead I was given a little love seat kinda like the one you painted black and put those beautiful transfers on that turned out absolutely amazing!!! I just gotta do it like you say 😬 thanks for sharing all these amazing creators with us and all your amazing ideas too. Just cause you don’t like a color that is being used then just use a different one?!?!? Why doesn’t everyone else get that? You and all those other artists are our inspiration and I want to thank you for that❤
I've been watching for years. A friend at work had a table & chair set given to her and the apolstery was stained. I watched the green sofa video several times as I painted her chairs. Anyway, I used your Bohemian blue & Liquid patina and they are not crunchy. They are soft, not as the original fabric, but still soft and pliable. I love your paint! I used to think it was so expensive, until I looked at a craft store for chalk paint. That was expensive! So yes, I'll take DIY any day!! Sorry so long winded
I loved Dare to be Vintage's piece!! My favorite, I love the soft black with the pink and roses!
Love love all these pieces!! I don’t understand people commenting rude comments!
Omg. You crack me up. Everything you do I love. Those people are just complainers. Guess they never heard … if you don’t have anything nice to say… well
I love you! You tell 'em! ❤❤❤ I love everything you do. Merry Christmas to you all.
As usual Debi, as much as I enjoy watching your channel, I’m depressed because we can’t get your wonderful paints & supplies over here in Europe. 😢😢😢 Ditto all the IOD supplies as well. What you create with your paints & IOD’s transfers, moulds & stencils…..oh my! I’m so envious! 😔😔😔 Good new year to you and your lovely family. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥰🥰🥰🥰
Just watched a podcast saying how do a review or thoughts on someone else’s video is awesome for algorithms!! Now I see why! I loved this video a lot! So much information on how to do techniques too! Good job!! Funny sayings. I got to watch again! P.S. love you!!!!!!
Thank you Debi ❤so much for including us in this wonderful line of artists including you . If we could find the words to describe how grateful we are for you it would take awhile. We absolutely adore you and your down to earth kind spirit. The day someone told us years ago to burn the piece we created. We had to create a thicker skin. I say if you don’t care for it , that’s ok just move on to what you like. But, those comments to me are completely unnecessary which a lot of times comes from something within them. It’s not going to stop our art community from creating and exploring the beauty of art. Btw the day I found you on here with that vintage couch , you were and still are an inspiration in this creative world. ❤. Merry Christmas 🎄 and here’s to all creatives out there KEEP Going ! Keep exploring.
Love the chair with the stencils. But liked the others also.
I love watching all of your videos. You are so talented and such a creative inspiration to all. Thank you and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Debi, I love everything you make, i love your videos. Merry Christmas
You go girl!!!! I get you and your art. Keep going!!!❤
Yay I’m early. Antique smantique. Some of those pieces aren’t actually antique either. Plain wood is so boring
yes 100 percent! merry Christmas Lecha!
@@DebisDesignDiaryfeliz navidad merry Christmas.
I do the same thing. I screen shot ideas I like and keep them in my photos file. Soooo helpful, especially when I want to hack an expensive Christmas ornament or lamp, etc. 🥰🥰🥰
I love your videos! I think you are brilliant and fun ... and ❤ your music!
Thank you so much, hope you have a wonderful holiday season❤
I remember that video! The first painted couch…I painted a couch because of you!! 🥳😘
I love your videos ❤️❤️❤️ ideas and your amazing quirkiness. Sadly haters are going to hate ignore them. Merry Christmas Debi❤️
You always make me smile...love your creativity.😊
It's definitely DYING (*NOT painting) I've used DIY PAINT on grout to change the color!❤ It's all pigment! It sinks into the grout and is NOT paint sitting on top of the grout. I've not tried it on concrete but after watching this video I was thinking of trying it on a concrete stepping stone. I bet it might be a fun project! But FYI, just using DIY WHITE SWAN on "meh" looking grout makes it look new & refreshed! 🤫Don't tell anyone.. they think I keep my floor spotless!😉 Debi, I looove your videos❤❤ all of them! Those haters need to zip their lips.. you're so talented and tho I'm not an artist in the way you are..I use DIY paint on furniture and have been a fan for a very long time. Keep up your awesome work.. you have so many gifts! Thank you for all your inspiration!! Have a beautiful Christmas with your wonderful family❤🎄💚 PS now I might try a tiny project pf painting DIY on fabric just because!!😂
Love them all, so beautiful! Merry Christmas to you and your awesome family! xo
You inspired me to paint my sofa and I love how it turned out. ❤
My favorite project is your green chest...it sends me!!! Someday, hopefully soon I will try the technique, but I absolutely will try it! Then I have to mention two others...one, your black sofa, one of my all-time favorites and two, dare to be vintage's chest, love this!!! I love color, artsy uniqueness and would not even consider questioning an artist's choice of self expression...well I can think of a few but what I'm referring to is within the scope of what you have discussed and shown in this video. I am an artist at heart and creativity with color lights up my world!!!
PS received the brights today when it was snowing. It certainly brightened up my day.
Oh and great packing:) cheers
I once painted a prim old desk/sideboard that was already painted a crappy color, I painted it a prim mustard and crackled and stained it to resemble old paint, it was beautiful and as I was moving it into the antique store someone said to me, "you aren't going to paint over that beautiful old paint are you"...GEEZ...then later that day the piece sold and I happened to run into the woman that was loading it into her truck, she was so excited to have bought this beautiful, original paint piece...I didn't have the heart to tell her...cray cray...!
Oh my gosh, that’s hilarious! I bet that chair was beautiful because it’s not easy to replicate an old chippy finish good for you and I’m glad it sold right away❤❤❤
A color mixing tip, if you lighten a color with white and it looks milky and washed out add a little by little of your electric yellow green and it will brighten the lighter color. ( Before it alters the color)
Example try lightening the pink with white then add the electric yellow green
You are one of the 1st people I followed on youtube. I love all of your techniques and how you explexplain the🖌
Such beautiful videos, sad for the negative responses
Unfortunately people hiding behind their screens can be so rude, forgetting that there are real people creating these videos. 99% of them would never walk up to someone in public and tell them their outfit was atrocious.
I love painting furniture and surround myself with calm, soothing, neutral colors, but I can appreciate other styles of art and can usually glean some inspiration or wisdom on composition or technique, no matter who the artist is. Like mom always said, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. And to all the haters of painted furniture, ask them how many pieces they've saved from the landfill!
@@NotTooShabbyPatti we love you, Patty and yes, people do not say things in person that are easily said online for the most part 💜 unfortunately it’s part of sharing work. I don’t mind it that much anymore, but I don’t want others to feel afraid to share their work because of comments like this.
AWESOME!!!!
LOVE, VIC🌻💖🌻
WHOA WHOA WHOA...love your inspiration music to work me through a project...where are you links for music?? Thanks so much for the rest of it!! Use you products all the time.
Awesome video Debi ❤ ❤❤ very inspirational for furniture artists. The hateful comments are so loud sometimes but I am learning to block it out, maybe I will eventually be able to leave them a heart too 😅😂❤
I love that black chair
😅 amen sister you told it like it was that’s so true. It is our choice to paint a beautiful piece of furniture so keep on keeping up. Love you.
