best line ever "this technique is called slapping the paint on in a random pattern until it looks like a hot mess" this woman is brilliant and she doesn't even know it....
this WOMAN is a hot mess! LOVE HER and her approach...She was the first video I ever saw (by complete accident) a year or so ago. My wife and I now have a little home based business doing all this amazingly freeing creative work! Keep it up
Imanuel Mesiah I have to wonder about people like you who needlessly spread filth and hate into the world and aim it at people they don’t even know - what is so wrong in your life that you feel the need to do this? Are you just jealous of people who seem happy and successful in their lives because you are not? Do you want to try to make them feel something of what you feel every day? I can tell you in all honesty it’s a total waste of your time. You can not make a happy person unhappy with your stupid, petty words just as no one can ever make you happy with anything they might say to you because you would rather live in your negative world with all of your hate and vitriol and all of your problems (that you probably blame on everybody but yourself) than ever be happy or nice to anybody. People who spew random negativity are addicted to their negative state. Being negative sends out chemicals in our bodies that closely resemble the effect of methamphetamines thus creating a situation that some people crave and become addicted to creating a person who is always negative, mean, unhappy, sad & useless because they become the type of people who complain about all of their problems constantly but never do anything to fix them, because then they’d have nothing to complain about and they thrive on conflict. And even though it is true that I don’t know you either, your nasty, uncalled for comment, says way more about you than you probably realize. You want to let the world know that you are a world class asshole with shit for brains and absolutely no empathy and a waste of oxygen? Congratulations! You succeeded beautifully! Crawl back into the hole you slithered out of and do the world a favor and stay there.
If it was a few hundred years old, I wouldn't paint it. If I loved the wood grain, I wouldn't paint it. Otherwise, it is going to be whatever makes me happy, and the wilder, the better. This looks SO AMAZING!
P.S. Love the boots!
Why would someone get upset if you paint your furniture? It's yours, do with it what you want!
maybe they would choose not to sell to someone who was going to cover up a family heirloom they had loved, perhaps it was a reluctant sale...
My thought is if its a family heirloom and they are concerned about its wellbeing
, why on earth are they selling it on Craigs List?
Imanuel Mesiah 😂😂😂😂. You made my day!!! I needed to know there were still idiots in the world!! Have a great day!!!
Amanda Amanda the only reason why something should be painted over is if the wood has damage thats beyond repair or its not solid wood
There are so many people that shabby chic everything and it looks terrible. I prefer to keep vintage furniture as is if I can or I try to restore it. Not everything needs to be painted
** "I said no really fast and changed the subject"** ahahahaa!
Turned out beautiful! Thank you
Carly Lemon I think it was more like, "NO! 😂😂😂 (in her head) How did she know?
Carly Lemon that was hilarious! 😂
she knew because my business card had my paint logo on it :)
I saw this over a year ago and bought the colors and forgot to save the video. I don't know how I found it so quickly and the only way I knew for sure that this was the right one is when I saw the puppy! I didn't even remember the puppy until I saw him. I'm so excited now I've got red yellow and turquoise paint ready to do my armoire when I get my deck finished. I am painting my deck and front porch. It's been so hot that I have to do it in the mornings and evenings because I'm dripping sweat into my opaque stain LOL
I love how this piece turned out & Levi's appearance. He's growing quickly!
I agree and disagree with the whole paint or don’t paint old furn. If you have a piece that is over 150 years old, then it may not be wise to paint. Some ( very few) pieces can be very valuable and painting it can greatly reduce the value of it. Be careful... If something is beat up, or looks like it was mass produced,( yes they mass produced furniture 150-250 years ago). The piece Debbie painted WAS solid maple, but had already been refinished. It was probably made in the 1960-70s. Debbie didn’t hurt the value,that was done when the family refinished it the first time. If it was valuable at all ( it wasn’t)(antique dealer here) When Debbie’s through with it, if the new owner wants it can be simply refinished. No true harm.
I totally agree as a long time antique collector- who has a small space in my house for shabby chic. It’s painful to watch nonetheless if it’s something that resembles a nice piece- I don’t know why. I could never do this job. In any case, for those pieces that there are no hope, for I think this is a good option.
Life isn't always about selling things and earning money. She turned it in something beautiful
I don't have a problem with painting wood furniture, if it's a color that I don't enjoy, like this maple stain. This is not my style, however you are so adorable, I would love to watch a video of yours every day. I love how you show how you mess up a project, but don't give up (like I might) and try something different til you like it. XO
Love how you turn "home improvement" projects into art... you're a true artist, the way you're passionate about colors and blending, etc.! So fun to watch. :)
People don't get upset when you just paint wood, they get upset when you destroy the value of an antique by painting it
Debi, please continue creating, you are a great inspiration .. I love everything you do ...💓💓💓💓
Painting with puppy is the best best antidote for a blah day ❤ this channel-so fun to watch!
This lady is crazy awesome. Love her videos and her work. Free learning entertainment 👍
You're possibly the worst, BEST painter... Ever! I love it!!! I'm also going to start painting holding my rowdy puppy too, why didn't I think of it!? I feel that Levi add that certain something to the paint effect causing a whole new level of fabulosity. Thank you for another exquisite mess that I can copy at home!
OMG! OMG! OMG! I love it!!! Not usually crazy about the different painting techniques, but I just love this one. Thank you so much for sharing it and being brave enough to try it again!!
I've probably already left a comment a long time ago but I'm rewatching because I want to do this to my kitchen floor! I've never been able to afford the paint until now and I'm sooo excited to get some. I want all the colors (I wish you could sell a sample kit of all your color collections) but I'm just going to get 3 small ones for now. My floor is only like 6x7ft. You have truly inspired me to explore, express and experiment with colors. I don't really have a favorite color because I like most of them but it depends on where or what the color is for. I painted a 1970's dresser that was my parents hand-me-down, a dark teal color and used a white to weather it but I lightened it to a muted turquoise. I used used hardware on some and leather drawer pulls from amazon. It turned out beautifully and is my favorite piece. It looks like it should be in a house on the coast.
Anyway, I'm a big fan for a few years now and your videos helped me get out of a seriously dark place by using color to fix my mood. I was literally surrounded by dark brown furniture, none matched, from 3 different decades too. After watching you paint a couch, I watched more and listened to your stories and decided I was going to paint them. The one on the left is a chest of drawers from the 60's, I painted it white and decoupaged some fabric flowers on the side. The one on the right is a low profile particle board dresser from the 90s that I also painted white and in front of me is the 70s hand-me-down dresser that is now an amazing shade of turquoise. Oh and a wooden bench at the foot of the bed was dark wood and is now white. I don't regret it one bit either! It elevated the room which in turn elevated me. Thank you for your time and videos. You make a difference in this sometimes $h! Ty world 💙
I think some people take wood furniture too seriously, if it's not your taste it just simply isn't. And you did a beutiful job with that 🙌🙌

Debi's Design Diary I live in Jupiter Florida but if I were in California I sure would be there!
Debi's Design Diary I wish I was close enough but in NorCal. I've been wanting to do paint my old baby grand piano for a long time, debating on colors, thinking of doing an ombré effect on the sides and down the legs. Have you ever done a piano? I like the fact that your paint isn't toxic with fumes and I don't need to sand before, correct?
P.s I don't see the link for your Vegan boots...?
Thank you! Yes DIY Paint is likely one of the safest cleanest paints available just nine ingredients. I have always wanted to paint a piano :) here's the link to the shops who carry our paint, we have several in northern Cal and many more on the way! diypaint.net/find-a-retailer/
Debi's Design Diary I need HELP I am addicted to a chrome/foil spray paint however if I use a top coat it looses the reflective luster.I want to use this paint on my vintage couch before reupholstry to give it a modren punch .My daughter(7yrs.and adorbs)want I
her updated.vintage carousel horse to match the furniture and it too is that colour....
This is just my opinion, in 100 years someone will remove all the paint from the piece of furniture, taking it back to the original wood. Its just like clothing fashion everything, all styles, all trends go around and around. No worries!!
And by then, I'm sure somebody will invent a product to remove paint in lightening time!
She needs her own tv show this woman is incredible I just found this channel but her diy skills are only surpassed by her wonderful personality
Debbie I absolutely love your videos. You made me laugh out loud while painting with the puppy. Great painting lesson. Wish I lived closer.
I miss you & your awesome projects, Debi! I hope you're doing well & return soon with more of your craftiness♡
First off, let me say that you and your videos are wonderful , sweet and are a joy to watch. It killed me that the couple who so lovingly cared for their piece of furniture , who bragged that it had been in their family for so long just ..gave it away. Perhaps, that's a saga in and of itself, and so I will withold judgement because I am one of those, who is in agreement that we don't paint old furniture. But I am a sentimental soul. We don't paint old furniture because It s history, man! Its a piece of our past. And when it s a piece of one's pay it becomes a piece of everyone's past. It holds secrets and stories and painting over that is like dismissing those stories , just wiping over them as if they don't matter . As if history doesn't matter.It's like putting Einstein in a nursing home with no thought as to what he contributed. It's like casually dismissing George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Martinn Luther King. Although it's only a piece of furniture, and it's stories are much smaller, and less grand, much quieter and much less impactful, it still tells a story. We don't paint over those stories. Just an opinion and it doesn't hold me back from enjoying your sweet personality and fun videos.
If you are emotionally attached to a piece of furniture then you shouldn't sell it. If you get angry that someone painted a piece of furniture that belonged to them and make a stink, sorry, you need therapy. There are some pieces that need to be painted as they are butt ugly and they didn't survive the the years so well. It should be considered a new life for those pieces. Some pieces are better left alone. No need to get all butt hurt over it all.
Love all the DIY paint colors you chose for this piece! And it came out GORGEOUS! Thanks for sharing your time and talents with us😘
I think it's funny when older people don't want you to paint wood furniture but they're the ones who cover up beautiful wood floors with hideous carpet and laminate.
To be fair when we bought our house it had wall to wall carpet throughout, and that turned out to be a good thing because the wood underneath was in near perfect condition
Haha yes they are all crazy ,i think all comes from this that old generations are not been like now . Now clothes and furniture are cheap even when they are new so nobody cares. My grandfather and mother had some not useful objects from their childhood even haha
Do they really now? Live and learn.
I'm not old but I love old wooden furniture that has been restored. AND NOT PAINTED! I grew up with nice wooden furniture painted green and yellow and white and hated it. And I would NEVER put a stinking carpet on a wooden floor! NEVER! Just my taste.
I love how unique your furniture look at the end of all your projects, please try to upload videos more often I really love what you do.
Totally agree that people don't like painting wood. I know, I was one of them and resistant painting wood. Now however, I love the idea of reinventing a beautiful piece of furniture. Love your channel! ❤
What an awesome way to make furniture with an antique look.
This was so satisfying. I'm sick and missed workshop today. I have a wooden jewelry box that I chipped at, painted, and distressed and I really wanted to bring it home today. I don't feel so bad, anymore. :)
Well , the way I see it is when it's yours you can do whatever you want with it . Don't feel guilty. I love the look of your furniture . It's totally my cup of tea.
I am revisiting some of your older videos, I needed some inspiration since I finally invested in your paints over the summer (and most recently your newly released colors) I'm so happy with your paint and becoming a member of your community. I highly recommend joining, thanks for the inspiration, Debi! 🐶🦚🦋🌻❤
I just found your channel and love it! I get the whole “dear God, that’s real wood, please don’t paint it” all the time! First off, if you paid for the piece, then it’s yours to do as you please. GET OVER IT! Who cares if it’s maple? She PAID for the piece. If it makes you happy, then go for it! Paint can be taken off and it can be refinished. Good grief we’re not talking about a piece from the Middle Ages.
I LOVE this finish! Reminds me of actual old furniture sitting in an old kitchen. Love love love.
I painted a maple dresser with a mirror using Miss Mustard Seeds paint.... loved how that wood took the paint.. My favorite three painters in the whole world....are Shelly, Dion and Debbie!!!!! Debbie do you not worry about paint on your nice rug?
Thank you Donna! The paint washes out easy because its chemical free. I did put a drop cloth down for most of it :) I hardly ever wear an apron or use a tarp because I'm impatient :)
Debbie , your absolutely incredible and always put a smile on my face ! I can’t express how much I love your stories and the way you make your videos, much love from Canada . Im working hard on saving so I can order your products here in Canada !! I wish we had way more retailers for your products here . Keep doing what you do , kisses to Levi ❤
Beautiful as always and as for the antiques. They can only be ruined if left on a dusty showroom floor and for painted wood - - I PAINT then take a walk in nature to see the real thing...
LOVE your videos!!! I have missed you posting them. Please post more please! I love your work! Your so inspiring Debi🌺
Thanks Jennie! xo
Jennie Dowsett but maybe without the puppy? Hehe lol lol
Dede Vaughn this is my intro to Debi which I enjoyed thoroughly, but I'll just say that puppy could have used some more colors
I loved the puppy, I was being silly, of course! :) :)
By the way, I went straight to Lowe's and bought those exact same colors to paint a pine armour, that used to house one of those huge TVs. I'm going to repurpose that puppy, and embrace the chew marks give to it by my Mastiff as about 4 months old!
So great to see another of your fun videos, Debbie. You inspire me!
Thank you Debi, you helped me soooo much with this tutorial. I tried to make it last summer and actually got the same result as you did 2 years ago. Thank you, thank you!!
Anne.
I've been having this dilemma myself. To paint or not to paint is the question. I'm in an apartment, so I can't put color on my walls, so my only real option is to paint the furniture. But I love the wood grain. Ah! What to do?! Love how this project turned out!
ASLchica09 maybe try to stain the furniture? Or like paint then wipe the paint off. Maybe that'd give some colour but still keep the wood grains?
Levi is the star of the show! bring him back again! Pleeze!!
This ist sooo nice - to see you working with the little puppy... i love that!
Levi was completely on board with painting it. Once it's yours, I say you can do whatever you want with it!
"Trust the process". Love your teaching style, the music, the dance, the boots and the Yellow Lab puppy!
Omg Debbie! You're back... I was having withdrawals
Seriously Without you what am i going to watch?:O. Keep Going you're too amazing to not be showcasing your talent!
England Loves You!!!
Shelly is a friend of mine, she's incredible! Great job on this one, love!! ♡♡♡
So pretty! You shouldn't feel guilty it's much prettier blue! I think wood is nice, but I love color more! Beautiful job :) thanks for sharing 😊 also your hair looks awesome - jealous mine isn't that thick and shiny! Any beauty tips? Lol
Debi and her side kick Levi ! If you had just given him a roller ! Actually, he almost had yours ! Just too funny, loved it ! YOU are very wise. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT......& FUN.
You are an inspiration, but I had a hard time watching the beautiful wood grain covered up in those bright splotches. I could do this only on more modern pine furniture. You are so fearless.
Missing your creativity!!! Please continue to post more videos!😀
I love the political analogy! So funny! I have a similar maple hutch from the same time period. It's by Ethan Allen. At times I've considered painting it, but can't bring myself to do it. I'm so afraid I'd regret it later. I dunno. I love what you did. It turned out beautifully. ❤️
It had already been refinished, so the patina was already removed along with any value someone might give it prior to refinishing. Your artistic painting has increased the value and beauty of the piece.
I'm truly inspired by this technique, I have a piece of wood furniture I will try this on. Thanks for being bold.
I have no idea how I got here but am glad since I've never seen this technique before. Not sure if I like the result but it sure is different.
I have many old original wood antiques and my kids and grandkids dont want them....this is great....love the puppy too...youre great
You are so much fun! Thanks Debi!
Lol painting furniture in the new thing and they loook soo good 😊 the wood finish sometimes looks a little boring. ❤️ you Debbie
thank you for watching Saadia :)
Debi where are you??
I love the way it turned out…. Awesome job
You are the sweetest and the most talented DIYer Debi. Thanks for sharing this video👍
Did the people you bought it from see your video and freak out? I live in Italy, and dark wood is absolutely the absolute. My Italian grandparents had very dark furniture in their house, all of it beautifully made by my extremely talented grandfather who never knew he was talented.
Cut to many years later and I have an apartment in an 800 year old house in Tuscany and a lot of bare wood dark furniture (I painted two pieces years ago). I have left the better pieces dark because it seemed to be a mortal sin to paint them in a Tuscan farmhouse style apartment.
But years ago when I still lived in the States I became passionate about paint. At night I would read the Kremer Paints catalogue and swoon. I wanted to make my own paint. I ordered all the ingredients to make chalk paint. No clay though, because who knew? Then I learned how to make milk paint from milk. There was no no powdered milk paint on the market then. With my pigments I was able to make my paints as vibrant or as subtle as I wanted. I had no qualms then about painting bare wood furniture.
After watching your videos, along with JamiRay and Jeb's and Dionne's I can no longer stifle my paint passion. All of that dark Tuscan furniture will get painted. I also watch Kacha and love what she does, but felt that her pieces were too formal for my taste. And all that gold! So guess what? I have a huge bedroom, presently full of stuff, and I'm going to make it look formal French with lots of gold. Way out of my comfort zone. I am so grateful to all of you!! As I know all of your stories with breathtaking hardship, poverty and anxiety. You all have inspired me and pulled me out of darkness during this pandemic with its isolation. You are all so talented and gifted in countless ways. I love watching you transform furniture and have learned so much. But most of all I admire your courage. I can't imagine making videos of myself painting furniture. I loathe being in front of a camera and besides, I'm. pretty old now at 75. Who wants to see an old lady painting furniture?
I've gone on too much here, so I'll quit. But once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the extraordinary generosity you all have to teach people around the world with your videos. What a gift you all are!
That piece I don't mind being painted. It needs something. I am not an advocate for painting because I've seen so many awful jobs but this paint job is like something in a Van Gogh painting. I normally consider Shabby chic more of shabby bleak but this I'd actually have in my home. A solid wood admirer, likes this.
The pupers is so stinking cute. Love the paint application ✌️💝
Hurray! you're back! That looks beautiful. Levi seemed to enjoy it too!
The decision to paint or not is definitely a good topic for discussion! Great video Debi!
You’re giving me the courage to “go for it” 🤪
Thank you for such a detailed video. It was helpful to learn the origin of the piece and how you resucitated it. Your personality was enthusiastic.The pup was cute, too.
I love you @ "I went to sleep feeling guilty"...... I love you technique " slap the paint on in a random way" lol best I've seen!
you're adorable and i love all your fabulous ideas. i have bought a new house and cannot wait to employ many of your ideas!!
cool ideas. If I take on a project like this, I will need to watch this video a few times.
Love this. Been thinking of doing this for quite some time. Ok maybe 20 years. I guess I should just jump in. Ok I started one project then and never finished.
Absolutely stunning!!! I have an armoire in my kitchen that I would love to try this with!!! Thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love the puppy's curiosity
TOO funny! "A very complicated technique called slapping the paint on"....I almost fell off my chair!!
I love this video. You are so talented! AND....we just said good bye to our yellow lab last month and this made me cry. Happy tears. I love your videos!
Just discovered your channel and love your funny presentation, wonderful voice overs and the dog! I tune in when I need
to see how you solve the "hot mess" you present. Bravo to your easy breezy projects and wonderful outcomes. Thank you!
Amazing result!! Like a beautiful weathered stone building in a Mexican town. Love your videos and ideas so much x
I have this EXACT piece haha! I got mine for $50 many years ago on craigslist in the SF bay area. I plan to paint it cool someday too :)- Right now sitting in our storage container lol, but I loved it's character.
I was in awe watching this. You are amazing. Beautiful transformation. Thank you for sharing this.
I seriously love your personality!
You are fabulous Debi!!!
I love your videos and projects!! I wish you could do a video every day-- or at least once a week!! 💙💜💙💜
You’d make Jackson Pollock proud. Wow.
I love this finish! It looks so fun to do and super easy! Thanks for more inspiration!
Wow! Think that's beautiful! Great job!
Impressive zDebi especially while holding the dog! Your style makes me smile 😀!
I just adore Debi and love these diys. You are an inspiration.

This is one of the most neato projects I have seen. Thanks for sharing your techniques. I love the colors, too! :)
Love 💕 it! You’re so funny! Love the debate on should I or shouldn’t I paint 🎨 it 😂
I absolutely love how this came out! I can't believe you tried holding a large-ish puppy in your arms while doing it but darn he is cute. Lol. Thank you for sharing. xAmy
gorgeous. I've never wrote liked the rustic look on painted furniture. Tilll I found your channel. I wish we could get these paints in New Zealand
I don’t think anything you do is a fail Debi ❤️
Completely charming... You and the furniture. ;) I learned something and enjoyed watching. Good video.
