You're dad needs his own DIY channel

“Just throw it away, “ good advice!

It’s a adrenaline rush shopping for these things. Having a goal for an item is important. I’ve learned to walk away because I’ve got stuff already. It’s something the creative mind struggles with. Everyone lives Dad that’s a bonus

You are my hoarder sister!! Love it all. I am on the same journey of de-hoarding. Rough journey.

What is that pretty blue flower. Hopefully you can get all your stuff into a storage pod quickly if the storm hits your area. Get everything up incase of flooding. The mermaid is terrific.

Debi, I NEED more of your wonderfully creative videos. I hope and look every day to see when you post!! 🎉❤

Absolutely love the new rug! Do y'all not have a Buy Nothing group in your area? I'm sure someone would love to have your old rug.😊

Dad, "WHAT!" with a big smile on his face LOL, I love your dad, and Bobby is pretty special too❤ You are extra blessed. I wish I had even a half-a Bobby! Everything looks so nice, I wished I lived near you but i am in Wisconsin, If I did, I would be over all the time❤

You are so creative. The mermaid picture is beautiful

Love your talent!!!!!

You have such a beautiful family, all so close. Your mellow dad who will do anything for you, and your sister and niece are so wonderful, supportive and helpful.

I love what you did with the naked lady picture! I will look at art work differently from now on. Great to see your videos show up.

I love your Dad’s garden truck!

Love the mermaid lady picture and the other mermaid picture! Makes it come alive! You are so talented. Good job!🥰💜👍

sending you good vibes because of Hilary. Don’t despair over the weather set back, use the forced time for other pre organization chore lists, editing etc. I’m watching you over here in New Orleans my dear friends.

Your Dad needs to be the next Golden Bachelor. He is a woman’s dream come true. Such a wonderful Dad and Grandpa 💕Can’t wait to go visit your shop. Love your channel.

I too love color. That rug is beautiful matches perfectly with your decor.

Your Dad IS a national treasure!!!!

I love all your color!!! Wishing you good luck and great fortune with the new store. Wish I lived closer so I could visit in person.

Your dad is so cute god bless him. Nice to see he can help you with setting up the store😊

traveling from WI to your store is BUCKET LIST for me!

I simply adore you! Your transparency is refreshing! I love your new rug! I’m all about the color also.

Your ability to turn discarded items into art is amazing. Especially your freestyle use of transfers and molds and paint. Re: your bright colours. You are ahead of the trend. With the Barbie movie success, that pallette will fly off the shelf! I’m sure you know that If you want to tone them down you can always add a little of the opposite colour on the colour wheel. But above all, you do you. It’s what makes you unique. We all need more colour and creativity in our lives. It’s why many of us watch your channel. Long live pink 🌸

You have so much personality and creativity. I love your channel! Love all the beautiful colors you use. What a great family as well.

I love the shelf hook rack idea. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Debi, I have had a really bad two years. So depressing! I haven't picked up a paint brush in about a year. All my paint is like, dried up. Watching this and seeing all the beautiful work you have done is giving me inspiration. Focus. I just need to focus. But I have to start from below ground up. Thank you for showing your beautiful work.

Looks beautiful! Great job ! Your dad is the best 😊 you are so lucky to have such awesome family ❤

Omg I love your visions and that mermaid picture is amazing.. Great job ..

Love love love! The naked lady art turned out amazing!! Seeing your family along with your painting projects AND the stories is just awesome, Debi! 🎉🎉🎉 "Give up the dream", is SUCH a reality Creatives must come to grips with lol! God is THE Creative and He gets to spread HIS creative dreams w/o 'hoarding', but we human Creatives don't hv a whole universe to spread our dreams in yet ❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

Your Dad is so great, we could all do with someone as helpful in our lives… You said you’re not a hoarder, I can identify with that, from the outside looking in, I probably look like one, my problem is I see the potential in everything and I want to give it all a makeover, add to that I have a serious dose of money anxiety and struggle to throw things away unless I’ve had a good shot at trying to sell it first.

Agree, I adore your Dad!

Your dad is a treasure for sure! You have an awesome family too. I just love your home it makes me happy just looking at it. I wish I could have a space like that. I can’t wait to see how things get cleaned out right before your class. Blessings to you!

...and your shop area is adorable!

Another wonderful video - it seemed to go by in a flash. Your dad is not just a national treasure - he is an international treasure. Best wishes to you all 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💗🎨

I love the new rug.....

Thank you for all your videos, especially while so busy… beautiful art and ideas as always 🌺💕🌺💕xxx

I'm watching the episode where your painting the vanity your sis gave you......💗 It turned out beautiful, as always..... I love that vintage, romantic, spacious, girly vanity!!!

You know your struggles and are addressing them don't be too hard on yourself little by little ❤🎉

We have a barn full of projects and we thrift every week. We have been working on the stuff in the barn while simultaneously thrifting and working on stuff. I have to have a blend of finishing old while still working on the new pretty. So far we’re making a dent in the barn hoard.

Thank You as always for Sharing your Art and inspiration As well as Your family, you are blessed they are amazing… Thinking of Your family in Hawaii. They may not be exactly where the fire is but I’m sure they are affected as we all are. Many PRAYERS and Positive Energy

Just a thought but what if you took all the stuff that is broken or not wanted, etc and put it in one area of your shop so peeps can rummage through it and buy it as is? There might be others who want the broken and discarded things you are trying to get rid of. The might need something for their project. This way you don't have to stop thrifting and buying and just continue to add to that section of the store. You wouldn't have to feel guilty then and you might make some money to support your habit! Just a thought I had.

Thank you for sharing your gift ❤

You have a beautiful family and home. I love the thrifted art transformations especially the mermaid. I love how real, honest and inspirational your videos are

Looking fabulous, Debi! Your entire family is brimming full in creativity! ❤❤❤

Love your creativity..your so good with color. I’m like you I can’t throw out something that I know can have a second life. 😊

I SOOO relate to your “hoarding” dilemma. I think it’s common for “creatives.” My attention is often hijacked when I spot antique, vintage, & well-loved artwork, frames, furniture, pottery, & other decorative items, because I see so many potential ways to give them new lives by refinishing, repurposing, & upcycling. Our creative stashes may be daunting to others, but it’s difficult to part with items that have potential … there just aren’t enough hours in the day. 😢 Ooo! I had an idea when you mentioned that you need to do something with all the stuff in the future classroom workspace - perhaps students could use the items you are reluctant to part with as blanks/substrate on which to learn techniques you are teaching in classes. It may be easier to relinquish when you know they’ll be reloved & won’t be going into a landfill. Just a thought 💭

I am here for the journey! Curious about your neck pain…longtime sufferer here and I finally got the right diagnosis! TMJ.

Girl, I get you. I'm a crafter and a hoarder of things to craft with. You're so right that donating feels like giving up on a dream. Heaven help us " edit " our stuff! ❤

debi. . . .candle workshop, love the surfboard the way it is, love the reimagined art and the shop is looking great! you are almost there. wish i lived in your area so i could visit. looks so fun!

Wishing you all the best lovely family, from Vichy France :) I love the book frame box that your dad built

I think it's a compliment to say something looks like it belongs in a little girls room. That probably means it's super cute and they love it without caring what anyone else thinks about it.

I love your videos. Thank you for your colorful inspiration

💗. 💗. I SAW YOUR NEW INLAY RELEASE...... "THAT PINK DRESS IS EVERYTHING" ! ! 💗

I’m worried about you and your shop with the hurricane coming! And I love that rug! I’m a hoarder too.

My idea is for Debi to do a RU-vid collab with one of the channels that focus on decluttering and/or organizing. The Crafty organizer is in Long Beach. Seems like she’d be a good fit as she’s crafty, very into DIY, and near enough. I also like the Clutter Bug. The more I think about it, the more I love the idea. Women helping women, promoting their businesses , RU-vidrs collaborating, as well as useful advice for those of us watching. It’s a pretty good bet there is a organizing /decluttering RU-vidr in San Diego.

You are making good progress!

First of all your Dad is most definitely a national treasure! I can relate to the hoarding and thrifting items i don't need. Today there is a big yard sale which I want so badly to attend. I'm saved by my niece's baby shower. I'm sure tempted to go to the sale and be late for the shower! I really need (have) to declutter and organize my home!!!

Beautiful video!! Just beautiful!!

Your videos always make me so happy, I love your style, I love how you paint and transform things, I love it all and how you weave little stories in between, you are an amazing artist!

Finally! Been waiting on a video ❤

Everything is looking so good Debi!!!

Hi ya Deb . Your Not alone, I’m a terrible hoarder 😩I collect things to do , then months down the track just collecting more and Not doing anything with it . I get such a Buzz when I buy stuff, but that wears off pretty quickly once I’ve put it away . Well Lovely just ❤ your colourful home . Colour makes me Happy 😊 Don’t worry you’ll get it done especially with your helpers like your Gorgeous dad ❤him Oh before I go I just Adore the mermaid Take care honey you’ll get there and have a Great time at the end of it X

Love the vintage art restyle projects they are so inspiring ❤

Debi, you and I could honest to God be sisters! You have told my story through you! I have decided when people (at least myself) are creative we hoard. I have 30 days to finish preparing my home for different reasons than a party. Its extremely important! We both are going to make it! PS I ADORE your mermaid picture!

Oh my gosh Debi I feel your pain. The store looks amazing! Fun video, I always love seeing everyone. God bless . 😘😘😘

I ❤ everything u create is so unique & stylish 🤩 &not boring & Bobby is very much handsome &very creative too ❤🌹✌️🇺🇸& my favorite is the track with the garden 🪴!!!🪴🍀👍

Looking fabulous 🌺🩷✨

I think your creations are beautiful and show a beautiful ALIVE soul that is able to come out unrestrained! I hate waiting in line to donate so I haul everything to the curb, people come by and take it! They get goodies and I get space! However, I’m at the point of resonating with stickers still in it from Goodwill 😂

I don't mind using old books for art but don't forget calendars from museums buy when the year is already started a couple of months for a steel 😂🎉

Love Love Love your channel and your artistry!!! Debi, can you link the bone density machine? Thank you!!! Hugs!!

Beautiful women, beautiful stuff, beautiful home.

You are way too hard on yourself! This is just how creative people live. We see something at the thrift store that inspires us and before you know it, it's in your car driving home with you. Yes, we hoard but we create beautiful things out of it!!

i wish I lived in So. Cal, I would take the candle supplies. By the way, is Bobby your brother? The "calling" is a problem that I also have. It's an affliction. We all have something. Hugs from Texas!

Are you in the path of the storm? Stay safe!

@debisdesigndiary I missed where you got the rug from. Do you have a link for the rug? Love it!

What is that blue flowering plant behind your dad at 3:31? It’s beautiful! 😍

Do you have space to simply sell your excess project bits and bobs? It's the obvious answer since you sell all the supplies for fixing 'em up. When I had an antiques shop where I specialized in garden collectibles and architectural salvage, I had a room that was rough and broken yet interesting pieces. Customers loved it and I sold lots of stuff that might have ended up in a dump or burn pile otherwise. I'm guessing that your real estate is mush more valuable than mine was, in the Midwest. Probably much less square footage for much more $$$.

Hi there! I have a question about fabric painting, you did a sofa it was black with a transfer of flowers and you used DIY Big Top on it but I didn't know whether it needed to be mixed with water or just straight on the material without diluting? How many coats did you have to do and how long did it take to dry before you can actually use it where the fabric paint does not get on people's clothes.. I'm trying to do some chairs for my Suite that my clients can sit on on a daily basis. Please help! I love your work!

I WISH I cud get that rug .....I'm putting carpet over my whole bkyard I'm in Texas & stickers and weeds horrible evenAFTER MOWING 😢😢wish I could have it ...haha

I was always told that those devices are for lymphatic drainage.. Is it to get circulation pumping. I had a natural path that was really into that. I'm from colorado originally recently moved to north carolina. They do make you feel better they get the blood flowing.

I L❤VE the rug you got from Wayfair! Do you have a link to it?

Debi what is the name of the green carpet from Waifair ?.. I loooove it

What is the website now? I love the seeds and would like to see the other items.

Link for the bone density device?

So sorry about your rug! However, your new rug is fabulous!!!!l

Hey! I didn’t see the link for the bone density thing…

The issue with your neck is the struggle your having with letting go of things. When you let ho of the old dreams. You open up doors to knew dreams. Give yourself a break stop fighting g with your git instinct to purge. The v idea for that is just like any other idea. It comes from deep in your heart and is just another creative adventure. You can do this and you will be so much better for it. You Go

Do you have an on line store? I would really like to buy stuff from your store. But i live in Louisiana that quite a distance from your store.

What do your candle making supplies look like? Are they good for a beginner?

So neat!.the Louve " book. You don't have to do ANYTHING YOU DONT WANT TO DO y'all r doing so much Honey ,if it brings you pleasure.......plus u need merchandise....even if you have plenty....still

I need to have a hoarder sale also. But I would just go buy more junk.

I don’t mean to encourage you…but I love the new pillow and rug!❤❤❤

❤

Hi! Is it any chance to find in uk your brand? I would like to buy some stuffs from you, inks, brushes, etc. Thanks, sonia

If you tear your image downwards instead of upwards, the whtet of the paper will not show. I wouold LOVE to see your shop!

Has anyone heard anything from Debi since the storm hit?!?!?

PS I want to name my Crochet Business Deb's Designs" - would that not be right since its to close to your Name! But I only sell in my area & to my own FB friends!? I live 20 miles from downtown Dallas, TX!

I love your home. Amazing.

Debi... Your current "crisis" with hoarding and your dreams of what could be...and finally after years, you resolve yourself to what probably won't be... It's okay to let them go, because I've realized that I've made room for new dreams. Don't be stuck in our old dreams..the new dreams are important. I'd love to attend your open house. How do I do that?
