Hey everyone!! Just incase you didn’t know today the “I’m an odd shape” merch relaunched! This will be the last time this merch style is ever made, AND all my profits from the launch will be spread amongst many deserving charities. Which will be shared in a video in the new year! So make sure to go check it out 💕💕 fanjoy.co/collections/mia-maples
love mia.....i have watched you for years!!!
Idk if u like this idea or not but u know all the tiling u have for the floors but I think it would be such a cool and cute idea to put that in the sides of or insides of the desk it would make it so unique and fit ur style!!
Edit: or maybe even for a future project!
i love your videos
@@baileyferguson7470 me to
Mia love ✨chu✨so much 💕💕
“i hate looking like an idiot, but i do it so well” I FELT THAT SO HARD
haha...welcome to my world
how can i star this lmao
I need this as merch 😂
@Rachel....Omgawd!!! Me too....I'd have to have it in everything, a couple tee shirts a hoodie.....Lmao!! 😂😂😂
Same haha
" I hate looking like an idiot, but I do it so well" is such a mood!!!
Feeling like this could be New merch 😅
@@aggythi9051 YES
Looking good while being an idiot is the hard part! 😂
Oh yes hahaha but you know what else 'don't pity me '! Lol😂
PERIODT.
I NEED THIS TO BE A SERIES! that desk literally fits so perfectly where you had it. I think you should keep it since it has a cool personal backstory of being your first “free flip”!
Hi Mia! My mom and I refinish furniture all the time! Some tips for future projects- always sand with the grain (no circles) and a tiny can of stain is PLENTY for multiple projects and you can always darken up a stain with multiple coats 😃
mia is basically using her youtube channel as an excuse to live out her interior design and DIY furniture dreams Lol I'm so here for it
I agree!! I love it!!
That’s what TH-cam’s for!!
Yup
Absolutely good for her, why on earth not! 😂❤️ Awesome upcycle ♻️ such a cute and well done desk. Would love to see more of these!!!!
It’s made me inspired to get up cycling again..
Yes, true😄♥️
"painting is so therapeutic" ...this is a diffrent Mia than Bob Ross mural Mia
You're attitude is so helpful to those of us who are scared to try . Even " mistakes " make it a new direction not a failure
I love how eager and willing your mom is to help you with your projects!
The sandpaper the wrong way killed me 😂😂😂
Best part is “EP:1” so we know there’s gonna be more!! lol 🤪
Yes!! I’m so excited for this series!!!
Yes! 🙌
Cool
Mia is literally an inspiration, I saved up enough money to renovate my WHOLE room I didn’t buy anything new i got creative! I even renewed the DOORS! I also paainted over the walls because the color was fading into a ugly yellowish color! THANK YOU :)
i’m lowkey obsessed with your mom, she’s so sweet and pure 😭
Thumbs up if you want to see this become a series! Show Mia how much we love this idea. 🥳❤
Girl yes!! I love seeing things be flipped lol
@@Yaquesitaa Me too! And she did such an AMAZING job! I would buy that desk.

@@choicethetaurus i like this not to bad
@@choicethetaurus your voice is cool
The person giving it away for free watching this: 👁👄👁
😂👏🏻
After this they were like 👁️👄👁️ can we have it back now we didn't actually want to give it away
@@sashimonique9850 🤣
the person has a renegan?
I was literally gonna comment this
That style of desk would be beautiful turned into a make-up vanity with a mirror added
I absolutely love how she kept the original wood instead of painting over it. Beautiful!
When she put sand paper the wrong way i was waiting for her to realize lmao
“First of all. I wouldn’t know” literally sent me😂 it was a very hearty cackle
Currently watching that part right now and I literally died listening to that so I went straight to the comments🤣🤣🤣
I *wood*n’t know
@@Hibbity_Hobbity lmao nice oneee
Mia- "I want to be cost effective, so I'll get a small can of stain."
Also Mia- *buys four different styles of knobs*
Was thinking that exact thought
I love this! FB marketplace is everything! One detail you can add to modernize it and keep with the white. Where the detailing is on the wood of the three grooves you could tape off and paint white to make the drawers stand out more and create separation.
Wishing Mia would end the price of the whole DIY at the end. Adding up all she spent on it so we have an idea of cost.
Please keep this series going!!
I do a lot diy, upcycling & makeover things and WITHOUT all the tools she used this in total was over 150€ or dollar. I used German prices but I don't think it's cheaper there. I added all the stuff she bought but doesn't used in the end. It's not cheap at all especially when you don't have this tools. But in the end you have an unique furniture. And when you do such projects often you have all the things at home.
Can we all just take a minute to appreciate how much Mia has grown and expanded her youtube platform! I just love how you’re consistently trying new fun things to keep it interesting.
Bruh when Mia put the sandpaper on backwards i could not stop quietly snickering to myself... LOL
Waiting for HGTV to hire you for your new show called “Ballin on a budget”
to tie in the turquoise, you should put turquoise patterned wallpaper inside the bottom of the drawers as a little accent to bring all the colors together. like this so she sees it please!
You know mama maples is pure when she says “it’s like pudding” instead of “it’s like poop”
Ya she is
For my old drawers, I tend to rub the sides with a candlestick. The legs on that desk look 50s-60s I'd say, lovely piece!
I have a few tips as i refinish stuff all the time. To make the drawer slides, slide better get some cheap dollar store stick candles and rub them on the tracks also you'll want a sealer/finish for the wood itself to really give it that finished look I would go with a semi matte as glossy usually is too much or you could just use furniture wax. Few other things when sanding, painting and staining you want to go with the grain of the wood to better coat it. Hope this is useful! The finished product looked great
The “hey everyone so today we are doing a very exciting video!” Makes my face light up with joy!!
Same here !! Lol. I love her sm.
@@lindseyingle8676 she radiates the BEST vibes
SAME! IT GETS ME EVERY SINGLE TIME!! 🥺❤️
sammeee!!
The “natural” that you chose the first time is actually no color. It is the color of the wood. Also sand with the grain of the wood; any sanding across the grain will stand out once it’s stained.
Can we just appreciate how pretty this desk looks now !!!
Hey Mia..I think painting the grooves on the bottom of the drawers white might make them look even better and bring attention to that detail. I love this white and wood combo 😁
Block of wax, rub on the edges of wood that slide in drawer will go smooth!
or bar soap!
Never heard that before
Definitely. I just used a block of ski wax. Worked really well.
You got any hacks for a standard squeaky door??
@@plainbagell clean and oil the hinges, the sound is from the metal rubbing against itself or dirt/dust.
"it's the 3rd day it's taking a lot longer than I expected"... I've been working on sanding and staining 2 chairs since March lmao
get chalk paint u dont need to donany sanding
it’s okay it’s been taking me almost a year to finish painting my room.
@@autumnsmith7304 I just want them to be a dark wood color, I have 1 done completely so no going back on the 2nd one lol just need to get motivated
helpful hint! using stain stripper first (outside) really helps and when sanding always start with the lowest number when youre sanding off stain or paint then go higher until you reach the texture youre looking for
Hey Mia! I loved this concept of this video. Another idea for this series could be to pick up free items for an entire bedroom set and be able to use the products you purchase across multiple items to be able to get more for your money. The desk looks awesome, love the knobs!
Got a tip for you Mia! When you have wood on wood drawers with no runners, just rub a little solid hand soap where the wood rubs together and they'll run smoothly 🙂 Love the desk!
I try to explain to my friends what Mias channel is all about...like diy home projects, diy craft projects, challenges, try on hauls, makeup routines, prank videos... the list goes on LOL
but basically i watch her because of her down to self nature and is 110% authentic in what she does, whatever she does! She's like a ray of sunshine you didn't know you needed in your day.
You can tell she absolutely loves what she does, by far my favourite TH-camr!
She indeed, is a down to earth person.
I wish I knew of a similar channel!
Exactly how I feel!!
@@deeb8733 mark Ferris and Megan margot are both super down to earth genuine TH-camrs! I used to watch a lot but I'm down to mia and those ones because they are all the most genuine people I have come across.
İ love Miaaaa
@@gabriellapignataro3370 Thank you SO much Gabriella! I am off to check them out!!
This was such a cute flip, you should definitely start a series for this stuff. It was also so fun to watch. Keep up the great content!!
Literally just picked up a table and chairs to do the same! Love this.
“Show people they can ball on a budget” that is such a good name for this of it becomes a series ‘bawling on a budget’
She already did a series called "Balling on a Budget" a few years back!
"Bawling" means crying though 😂
@@ishityle I mean balling, not bawling 😂
@@daniellekeyes304 make a comeback with it
@@ishityle oh wow ! You sure did school her 🙄
The desk turned out soooooo good!!!!
Also I was cracking up when you started to sand with the sand paper on backwards! I was like “I’m definitely no expert seeing as I have never used a sander but I don’t think that’s how it goes!” 😂😂
You did a beautiful job, Mia! The drawer pulls really made the finished product look so elevated. It looks great with the pink chair and against the natural wood feature wall.
One tip about staining that I just learned! You mentioned after staining the top that you could see so much grain, to the point that it seemed like you didn't love how varied the finish was. If you use wood conditioner (a clear product that you wipe on right before staining) it fills some of the grain and produces a really smooth finish. Basically it helps the stain absorb more evenly across the wood so that it doesn't look so antiqued and rustic.
I learned this while staining wood trim this week. Wood grain is beautiful but sometimes when stained a darker color the variance can almost be distracting and sometimes it isn't the look you want. The wood conditioner can usually be found with the stain in the hardware store. It is cheap and I can't believe what a difference it makes! You should try it just to see how it works so that you can get the finish you hope for in future videos!
Note for next time:
When painting wood, go in the direction the grain is going, gives a much smoother and even look
Yeah! And it's the same with sanding too!
I know! Mia is great, but I was cringing so hard when she was sanding and painting against the grain!
Definitely sand in the direction of wood grain.. do not sand in circles..
The way her being so confident about it convinced me that the sanding paper was placed the right way😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Love it but a part of me wishes the handles were rotated in the same position to look more cohesive. But that's just me and my picky self.
Saaaaaaame!
I just wish the third color on the knobs was white instead of the mismatched wood. They'd really pop and tie in the color
I was like "Isn't it backwards?"
Mia: "OMG it's backwards."
the first stain you chose looks like me after a tan, orange and disappointed.
@Casey G....ummm, yep!! 😳😁😂
IM HOWLING THIS COMMENT MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD CICISBSBAIS
lol
No one:
Literally no one:
Mamma Maples: It looks like pudding!
Omg that desk looks gorgeous I just love how it turned out
“Miaaaaaaa” the way your mom says that is adorable! Wow you put in so much work!
Less than a 0% chance I will attempt this. But will I watch every episode contently & happily? Yes, I will.
This is how many times Mia second guessed her self 😂
👇🏼
It obviously paid off!
These are seriously my favorite TH-cam videos, out of them all! So definitely keep on doing them! I love the instruction you give and the details you notice!
*MIA:* I hate looking like an idiot
*ALSO MIA:* I'm not going to edit this out, this way everyone can see me being an idiot
😂😂😂
Love you, Mia! 💕
"Hey everyone today we are doing a very exciting video, in this video we are going to...." LIVES IN MY HEAD RENT FREE AND IM NOT EVEN MAD ABOUT IT. Thank you for bringing us all joy during these hard times!!!
Anyone else just looking at mama maples’ art work half the time?( btw mama and mia both of them are beutiful❤️)
Mia, that desk absolutely belongs right where it is! LOVE the two tone!!! New subscriber ❤️❤️❤️
To avoid over sanding next time, I highly recommend just starting with the stripper if you ever want to refinish wood! Stain soaks in and finish makes it almost impossible to not over sand
The refinished desk came out great! Love the knobs you used with the pop of color.
so amazing to see you grow throughout the years, you are so confident and so beautiful inside and out
“I’ll put them in my hoarding cupboard just in case” 😂😂
I would love🔆 to see a “I organized my storage room/shed” video. I’m pretty sure it would look like a store🛍, complete with departments like 🎨 paint pillows and crafting 🌈 ps I really love the leather pull knobs. (But I do hope the’re vegan lol) 🐮
Me too. She should do interior design. We Stan a talented queen
Thankfully, she said the knobs were fake leather.
Mia you should get into house flipping... and make a website to refurbish people’s furniture! I have my parents old dresser in the spare bedroom, bought a sander and now I am here watching for confidence and inspiration.. can’t wait to see how this turns out!!!
At 18mins.. looking good but I was thinking you should have just clear stained the wood after sanding .. but it still looks good!! If you can do it, I can do it!!!
so I just saw the merch and I noticed that this BEAUTIFUL desk is in the background of the merch pictures :) I love it, waiting for more episodes of this inspiring series!!
Love this! If you do this as a series I would love to know the overall price of all the paint and stuff you bought to see the money you've saved from getting a second hand thing xx
Loved it!!!!!! I think it would be cool to include the price it cost to makeover the items just to give an estimate for others that might want to do the same!😁💚
I absolutely LOVE how the whole family is involved and how you make mistakes!!
You did an excellent job. I like that you didn't have a clear way to go, but changed your mind here and there and ended up with something any of us would buy! 💕💕
The desk turned out amazing. The color at first threw me off (the stain) but when you added the white and the knobs it came together.
Sand with the grain of the wood and also look into painting with chalk paint. You don’t have to sand prior to using chalk paint. It saves a lot of time and effort and looks great. Look forward to this series.
One of the best makeovers I have seen. You knew what you wanted the stain to look like and didn’t stop until you found it. I am so loving your channel. Thank you.
I am so excited to see the rest of the series. Totally loved this makeover.
Mia, there is now way this series won’t be loved and adored. I LOVE IT ALREADY and it has been 2 minutes, nothing much actually happened but the intro !! 💕
“First of all, I wouldn’t know” 🤣🤣
I really love the way the desk turned out. It's gorgeous.
Your Mom is so positive and lovely. She makes me smile! ♥
When she bought a whole liter of stain I literally said noooo out loud like she could hear me
A great idea would be to take photos of this renovated desk and send it to the first owner and see their reaction :D
My husband and I have been all about building our own furniture and "balling on a budget" with old furniture we revamp and make beautiful and Early American is my LIFE. My entire house is thoroughly covered in it 🙃 I audibly cheered you on when you bought it 😅 its beautiful on all wood so prepare yourself for being obsessed with putting it on every wood project you do from here on out!
Hi Mia, I am loving your makeover shows. This one made me a little nostalgic....the desk is from the late 60's, early 70's. Mine was white, it is where I did all my homework.
Actually it was part of my bedroom furniture. It had a headboard, footboard and a dresser with a large mirror.
Thank you for the memories.
Mia you should definitely do more of these videos. Watching you figuring things out while also saving something that might have gone in the landfill is such a great thing and so entertaining. I can't wait to watch you do the chair. To recover anything can be difficult my grandfather did that for his job and was very good but it took many pieces for him to teach me even a fraction of his knowledge. Don't give up if you run into a problem just keep charging through, like anything the more you do it the more you'll learn.! Best of Luck.
the desk turned out perfect!! it matches the room perfectly and i would LOVE to see you reupholster a chair omg
Whenever we are staining we put our used cloths in a glass jar and seal it shut with the lid. This enables you to use the cloths more than once. Then we throw them out in the outside garbage when done. To get your drawers sliding better put wax on the bottom edges of the drawers.
I love it! it's almost like a rustic vibe, but im totaly here for it.
I love the desk and the stain literally is perfect, but I do wish she went with different handles. Just my opinion though, I like things looking modern and neutral. 🥰🙃😁
Yeah, maybe just some simple gold handles to tie in to the legs would have been really nice! The wood and the teal don't go super well, IMHO. Still an amazing revamp, though!
yeah she should have gone with gold or dark brassy vintage gold handles
I personally love them!
@@hannahkayee831 same I love those handles too!! I think it goes really well with it
Like the gold and wood matches and the teal colour is poppinggg
@@hannahkayee831 I agree! I think the handles are perfect!
“ I hate looking like an idiot...but I’m good at it “
That’s me..
How do I have thus many likes !!!!
OMG thank you so much Mia for liking my comment means a lot ❤️

@@choicethetaurus nice self promo bud
@@choicethetaurus didn’t like it lol
I loved it
@@littleleah5182 lmao i like it.
Has anybody realized that Mia wears those cheetah print pants in basically every video
I LOVE LOVE LOVE VIDEOS LIKE THIS. Please keep these coming Mia. You did such a BEAUTIFUL job!!! And we need more inspiration for people making old things usable/new again given a second life!! So much consumerism on TH-cam makes me feel so weird!! We waste so much and throw away so much that it’s so great to see something someone wants to get rid of turned beautiful again!
I wanted nightstands with pull out trays and I found the exact style I wanted for $50 but they were painted royal blue and orange for the university of Florida 😓 I bought them and did paint stripper, sanding, and repainting... the paint stripper is EXTREME I can’t believe you did it inside! 😷
I used paint stripper on my stairs and it was PAINFUL. I had so many fans and had to open every window
This really was an awesome transformation! I was skeptical of the choice of stain and the white paint, but it actually all turned our really really good! Can you put how much it cost to fix it up? I would love to see more videos like this. And would like to see you flip some pieces also. Good job!
Loooved the final result, the staining process had me on edge but it turned out great! Thanks Mia
This makes me want to pick up free items 😂 I would love to see the leather pull option on it!
It’s gorgeous, you’ve done so well with that. Great work. If we all did this imagine how little waste we’d have. This furniture was built to last, and I love that it’s not ended up in a landfill, and even if you don’t want to keep it, I’m sure someone would absolutely love it.
best comment yet :-)
love how the bob ross wall is still there
Love it! Would love to see the chair makeover. I got some chairs and stools from my grandparents that I want to reupholster.. and I'd like to get inspired by you! 😊
This desk turned out so nice. Especially when you painted it white. And than the knobs. They are the icing on the cake. Yes please do more of this. Thank you! It's always fun and inspiring to watch your videos.
