UPDATE: Island sold on FB Market Place in about 2 hours for $750. In that 2 hours it had 3500 views with 120 listing shares. So many amazing fb messages and comments. Lots of people sharing about pieces they saved from the landfill as well. 🥰🥰
Congratulations!!!👍🏻⚡️🏆
That is fantastic 👏 Congrats on a job well done.
As well it should! I'm subscribing!!
Congratulations 👏
I love how you say
"Do your research before you do as i do . Or just don't do as i do" lol
@@thirty-6 🤣🤣 yup!
Congratulations! You are the winner of the ugly duckling challenge for winter 2022!!!!!
Good call! It was fun to watch different ugly ducks go to swans! Thanks to all the talented participants and Desert DIY. Very entertaining, educational and enspiring! ( I know it is INSPIRING. Wanted the alliteration!!)
Amazing work
Don't normally comment but that was amazing. Love your puppy too
Congratulations!!🎉
I came here to see the winner of the Ugly Ducking challenge and was wowed by your design. A well deserved win!
Also the fact that your neighbours can trust you with their kid when they needed a bit of help. And the young man looked so happy and chilled with you. And that gorgeous doggo friend !
This is all I need to know that you are one of the good guys! Kids and pets don’t lie.
Awh thank you so very much!
OMG that baby 😍
This!! I meant to mention this in my comment. You’re so down to earth, unrehearsed and genuinely a great artist! You hank you for sharing your fur baby and neighbor’s skin baby lol
Turning that "desk" into a kitchen island was genius - terrific project!
Thanks J mac!
Dean. Are you serious??? I wish you could have heard the sound I made when you showed the paper towel rack. ITS SOO GOOD! The spice rack!? This is way better than store bought rolling islands. Such a thoughtful upcycle!
Oh yeah I'm pretty sure Osmo, the oil I used on my desk, is also food safe. Not cheap though, but a had a nice finish.
Thank you Emily!!!! ❤❤❤
If a tree has to die to make furniture please respect the tree 🌳 by not wasting it. I love this. Well done 👏
Thank you!!
What a transformation....that desk looked pretty desperate...now, chic and useful.
It was crying for help for sure 😁 Thanks!!
That baby at the beginning was adorable! Just looking around like DUDE ! Who are you talking to!!! 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
you, sir, are a force to be reckoned with. this is seriously creative and impressive, and I kinda call bullshit on you not being a woodworker because you make some incredible things (like that paper towel holder)!
😁😁 Thank you very much!! ❤
This is gorgeous, stunning and amazing! This is also an incredible transformation. I am just so impressed with your creative thought process. Thank you for turning that poor old desk into something beautiful and useful, instead of more junk in a landfill. This project is truly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!🌸
Thank you!🥰
You know what I liked?
That you used the small piece you cut off of the end of the butcher block top to make the handle for the paper towel holder. Consistent wood and "no scrap left behind"
Yeah that worked out great!
Dying laughing at the ending scene!!!! My husband made the comment just yesterday "I'm going to have to start wearing a cup when I get home from work" because one of our two larger dogs every day steps on his " giblets" 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I know 🤦♂️and he still has a year of growing to go. HELP ME!! lol
My father-in-law made me a rolling island. We added an electrical set of outlets in a strip that had a plug in it and it just keyholed to the side. The paper towel is a nice idea. He made a slit in the top side and we put an ice cube holder underneath for a scrap ketcher for peelings. We addded a wrap rack to the door. We took it outside also. We took an old cookbook and decopaged recipies to the top. There was a place to hang a cutting board.
That sound really cool!!
"I'm just gonna wing this," "Time to stop working, time to start drinking." LMAO Dean you are my spirit animal.
😀😊😊💕
There isn’t anything that I don’t love about this piece!!! From the convenience of being able to move it around, to the color you chose, to the built in spice cabinet, to the awesome paper towel holder… and the absolute gorgeous color the butcher block top became after the oil was put on!!! I think you did an exemplary job on everything🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢
Thank you so much!!
Lol that child was so confused watching you talk to the camera, looking around like “who the heck is he talking to?” Man this turned out incredible!!
Yeah i was cracking up for awhile editing it LOL Thanks!!
That's a beautiful color cutting board, I like it alot, as a grandma with 19 grandkids I cook alot and I would totally buy this, if I had room in my little kitchen lol
19!! So jealous, I can't wait to have grand kids.
Ok ANY video with a sweet baby is an automatic thumbs up BUT what was so funny was his reaction to you telling him to say Hi. He was like...Dude are you ok? There's no one here but me and you. LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great job, I especially like the spice rack. You’re so creative; broken desk to modern island, just awesome! Love the baby and the dog, so fun. Thanks for sharing.
So happy you enjoyed all of it. Thank you!
Some really good ideas went into this one piece. Nicely finished too.
Not sure I've already commented lol Love your creativity Dean. You can see the final project in crappy pieces of furniture. That is a gift mate.
Hey thank you Jay!!
Dammit, I've run out of words to express how inspiring you are, not just as a craftsman but as a human. The only remedy is to buy me some merch. Furniture search and rescue it is! Thank you
Thank you so very much!!
I agree with the judges. Yes, you should be the winner! Congratulations...
Thank you!
I would have never imagined when you first showed that broke down desk that you would be able to turn it into such a beautiful and useful piece of furniture! I love the butcher block top and color of paint you chose! I hope you win the challenge!
I did win! 🏆 🥰 Thank you!!
@@DeanFurnitureArtist Congrats! I saw a lot of the other flips and they were also great, but yours was my favorite!
@@TheFluffyPeacock AWH thanks!! 🥰
How wonderful. You remind me of my Dad. When he went to take our trash to the dump, he'd always come back with something else. It would be like some old broken dresser and we'd say "why did you get that?" and he'd say "don't you see it? It's a sewing machine cabinet for your grandmother". Then about a week later - yep, sewing machine cabinet.
Keep on seeing what's not there and making it become real. You have a gift!
What a compliment thank you!
WOW! Absolutely gorgeous! An ugly duckling into a beautiful swan! I love it !
Thank you!!
Just imagine getting an old washstand and inserting the marble top into something like this. No worry about getting food safe wood oil. One of these days I’ll get an old washstand.
That would be very cool!!
I loved what you did. As far as your skill level, you could have fooled me. You hit this out of the park, no kidding. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you! 😁
It's the moment when the baby is like wait who are you talking to right now 🤗
😁😁
This piece looks so beautiful and is also multi-functional! 😍What a genius and creative idea. Would never have thought you could create something from the piece in the beginning, so I’m amazed! Job well done sir! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much!
So pretty and practical... It's amazing what imagination can do, especially when you're looking at what you think is rubbish.
Thanks!
I wish there was a love button. This transformation was amazing.
Thank you so much 😀
On the left side, next time put a couple of command hooks to hang dish towels and oven mitts. Good job!
And how DARE you subject us to the cuteness of confusing the baby! 🤣
That's a great idea!
😊😁
There are very few people on TH-cam with your creativity in turning something old and falling apart into something completely different. Amazing job as always Dean. 👏
Thank you!!
The baby’s trying to figure out who you’re talking to, lol he’s so cute
🤔😁😂
That's a very practical piece of equipment and , as always, it looks great too! I love the the way you shaped those towel holder ends. Easy on and off :-)
Thanks!!
He is so cute he appears to be very interested in what your explaining. Too cute.
He is very interested in Everything right now. He has a whole world of new stuff. So fun showing them too
That looks amazing! And yes I’d never know that was a desk if I hadn’t watched it!
Right! Thanks!!
You made my heart swell, big tough rugged dude, holding a precious baby, on your lap, and baby actually watching and listening to everything you say!
So I will watch you, hahaha, I guess it took a tender heart to watch😊
Thank you!
First and for most Dean, you are a pleasure to watch! I also flip furniture and I concur the sweat and time contributing to it. It's so rewarding when completed. You are truly gifted in the transformations and creativity department in my book! This project was awesome! Keep up the fantastic work!
Awesome! Thank you!
I am absolutely impressed! It really turned out not only beautiful, but functional!
A couple ideas:
1. Since wood is so expensive, it’s a shame to cut off so much of the end of the cutting board. What if you left the length (extending the desk top with wood scraps around just the carved edges - no one would know it wasn’t solid wood across because the cutting board hides it!). Then move the paper towel holder underneath that end, with the cutting board over top keeping your paper towels dry. Or, you could put hooks for coffee mugs or big soup ladles, spoons, etc.
2. Rather than completely enclosing the spice rack, perhaps put “rails” on both sides of the spice rack so no matter where you stood against the table on that side, you could see what you had. To keep things tidy, you could order a bunch of cute jars with printable labels. For example, you’d print “Garlic Powder” twice, once for each side of the spice jar so you could read the contents from either side of the jar while it was still in the rack.
I am srsly impressed by this piece. Great job!!
Love these ideas!! Thanks!
Beautiful flip. Love the color! You would never know that started out as a meager desk. Howard’s butcher block conditioner and cutting board oil are good and readily available.
Thanks!!
I do think what is this guy thinking, but not the way you think. I'm also thinking it's going to be something really amazing. I can't wait to see what he's thinking. Great job. The ugly duckling has transformed into the beautiful swan!
Thank you!!
This looks incredibly custom built!!! You'd never guess it's a revamped desk. Wow! I'm blown AWAY!!!!
Also, it is thanks to the Ugly Duckling challenge that I got to see this video 😁
Thanks! I got to so so many new channels as well. Such a cool idea for a group challenge!
I would never believe that this started life as a desk. Amazing work.
Right! Thank you!
This was bloody brilliant to watch, Love that you explain everything instead of just skimming over it. Great video
So glad you enjoyed it
Dean you are an artistic genius ...! I haven't seen anything, you design and build, turn into anything but pure gold!
Thank you so very much!
Look beautiful Dean. Another great furniture save. I'll be checking out the other ugly ducking makeovers. LOL...I just saw the end of the video. Poor Colossus, he still thinks he's a small puppy.
He is my lap dog 🤣🤣🤦♂️
Thank you ❤
@@DeanFurnitureArtist You need a bigger lap. 🤣
Congratulations Dean on winning the ugly duckling challenge 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!
From where you started to where you ended - brilliant! Definitely the challenge winner in my book! Those paws are big and strong, huh?
And only going to get bigger. God help me when he is over 200lbs 😲 LOL Thank you!
Good grief man! That was some work! I would never have guessed this was the same piece. So so well done.
Thank you!! ❤
Wow! Quite a transformation! The spice rack and papertowel holder are quite an inspiration. Love it!
So glad! Thank you
What an awesome island. Brilliant work and so good to see solid but damaged wooded furniture being recycled and upcycled like this!
Thanks!!
First thing I thought when I saw the basic design, perfect for kitchen aid! 🥰
Great makeover and love the color. 👍
Great minds think a like 😁
Congratulations on winning the ugly duckling contest!!!! Well deserved!
Thank you!
Wow - you hit the ball right out of the park. Excellent and beautiful!
Thank you very much!
I am not able to get a nail into a piece of wood straight, but your videos are the most fun thing for me to watch EVER
This is so awesome to hear! Thanks you!!
Wow awesome woodworking! It came out really nice! Love the green you chose also👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you!!
Best conver sion yet, my favorite. You have found your calling, you’re a natural at this. Not just a painter but a designer.
Thank you!!
This is taking creativity several steps beyond the norm. I would like to know please how long it took you to figure out what you wanted to do with this piece. It has gone from worthless junk to something useful. I can easily see this in a small kitchen being pulled out to do lots of food prep/baking. Kudos to you for excellence.
Oh as soon as I seen it on the curb I knew I wanted to make it a island. Desk are good for that. Everyhing else I just make up as I go. Thank you so much.
Fantastic!! Maybe that wheel manufacturer will make them in solid black soon. Lovely and thoughtful.. especially allowing room for the big mixer that never fits in a kitchen cabinet!! 😱💚
That would be great! I will be on the look out for others in that price range that work as well. The hardware stores are a no go at over $20 a wheel here.
I absolutely love this! Hands down out of all of the DIY stuff I have watched, out of all of the furniture flipping stuff I have watched, out of all of the trash to treasure, this is number one my favorite thing I have ever seen!!! I may have to do something like this, as a matter of fact I can guarantee I will. It'll be a first for me copy or even loosely copy something I have seen someone else do.
So great to hear. Go for it. Its really not that bad of a build once you get going.
Oh my gosh! Cracking up over your outtakes! Crazy upcycle, Dean! Love it! And love seeing your wife, dog and neighbor's kid. NICE!😂😍😂
Yeah we had everyone show up in this video. 😁 Thank you!
You come up with the coolest ideas! Nobody would guess that started as a desk. Great job and beautiful piece!
I know right!? Thank you!
Absolutely stunning. When you look at what you started with, the finished piece is a completely new piece of furniture. Congratulations.
Thank you!
There is a food safe stain but it’s not cheap. And I used walrus oil and wood wax for cutting boards to seal mine. It requires upkeep just like any other cutting board. Their furniture butter is amazing too.
Awesome! Thanks for the info. I did see the butter on amazon.
"Walrus?" How interesting! I bet the Alaskan natives used that.
@@creativegirl9710 Walrus Oil is just the brand name 😁 It is made from Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Mineral Oil, Vitamin E.
Congratulations for winning the Ugly Duckling 2022 competition.
Thank you!
Congrats on winning the Ugly Duckling Challenge 2022! You deserve it! 🎉
Thank you!
First thought...trash! Then you did this. Incredible what you can do when you can think out of the box.
Thank you very much!
I feel your pain, Dean. I laughed until I had tears streaming down my face when you said you edited from 6 a.m. until 2 in the morning. I so get that!! 🤣🤪😳 you did a great job on the island, but I just want to make sure you get kudos for taking on a beast of an editing job. 💪 -Cara
Thank you so much Cara! It was rough for sure. Lol
That little guy is growing like a weed. I just adore your dog too. Excellent job with the island. I love the Walrus oil and the wax. I use it on my cutting boards, my wood fruit bowl, my steak boards. I like the Walrus wood wash as well.
I know time is moving way to fast!
From ugly desk to this beautiful piece with great green color and natural top, love it!
Thank you!
Brilliant! Truly the definition of what an ugly duckling challenge should be. I hope you win!
Thank you so much!
This transformation is truly inspirational! What a beautiful, functional piece you created out of roadside trash. Impressive!
Thank you very much!
So amazing. Love that u saved it from the trash and turned it to an amazing treasure.
Thank you! ❤
As always a fantastic result. You are a legend working out everything. If you build one again the new top could stay the original length instead of cutting it down. The paper towel or tea towel holder could be housed there. Just an idea
Great idea!! Thanks!
I think these are going to turn out to be your signature pieces. I was expecting you to make some copper hardware handles and use a copper pipe for your paper towel holder, but then I remembered you said you were not going to make this one industrial. The spice rack was a super cool addition.
Thank you! Industrial coffee table coming soon 👍🏻
I absolutely love everything about this!!! Colors are perfect! I am blown away by your creativity. Good job.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations sir on winning the Ugly Duckling Challenge!!☺️🎉👏🎉
Thank you!
Fabulous piece. Love the way this turned out. Congratulations
Thank you!!
This is the first time I’ve watched your TH-cam channel. The desk to island is beautiful. You’re right, no one would ever know it started as a desk. Great job!
Thank you!!
Definitely Busted to Buffed, for sure!! This piece is not just functional, but beautiful as well. Great Job!!
Thank you!!
I love that you checked into the food safe issue. It's GORGEOUS!
Thank you!
This is absolutely my favorite transformation on TH-cam. I’ve been watching these videos for well over a year. This project exceeds every project I’ve watched during that time span. To have the imagination, skills and desire to what you did is awesome. I only wish I could’ve bought it! Congratulations on your win! You deserve it!
Wow, thank you!
No words other than another WIN for the books. Congrats!!!
🤞🤞 Thank you!!
You did a beautiful job!! Love the finished product. Okay don’t call me crazy Dean, but when you started painting I smelled it!! I know it does sound crazy! Glad to see ‘Boss Baby” again; he is so adorable! I love how he pays attention while you are talking. Stay Safe! Can’t wait for your next project!! DDecker
I'm pretty sure i don't have the right to call anyone crazy LOL HAVE YOU SEEN MY VIDEO'S!! 😂😂😂
Beautiful!!! Your pup is adorable and seeing Boss Baby was too precious!!! He adores you!!!
He is my buddy 🥰🥰
Brilliant !! Absolutely beautiful 🤩 well done 👍
Thank you!
Just found you and so love that you repurposed that desk,it kills my soul to see so much thrown away,especially when it can be repurposed into something new and that can be used for another 50 years. Great job💗
Welcome aboard and thank you so very much!
What an amazing transformation! From trash to beautiful and functional! Love it and I don't easily love green color! This is definitely a candidate for the challenge! Your products also look high quality! Really happy for you. You deserve it.
Thank you so much!
First time here and I'm impressed. I kept saying to my cat, "Ooh, I like that!" This after I finished watching your punk rock piece. Bravo, my man. You're talented. I'm subscribing.
Well thank you and your cat for watching! ❤
I always get the drunken shopping cart at Walmart.
🤣🤣 Yeah blame it on the cart 🤣🤣
Wow and wow. Best ugly duckling transformation yet!!!
Thank you!
Wow! That was a great transformation Dean! So clever! Turned out beautifully! Glad you joined the challenge with us 😊
Me to so much fun! Thanks!
That was a creative repurpose. Nice. Enjoyed your little helper and the furry assistant too.
Always a good day when little boss hangs out.
love it sooo much! Sunday mornings have become my favorite, cause I get to watch your vids! So refreshing seeing how it just takes a bit of willingness and creativity to turn something discarded into an high-end piece. Thanks for all you do inspiring us all here!
Another thought maybe for future projects. I have a similar drawer in my kitchen for the spices, however on both sides it has only the bars to keep them in. I find it more practical to pick up something regardless on which side of the kitchen I am. Either way it looks stunning, just my 2 cents in case you see some value in it :D
Great idea! Thanks!!
Wow! Now that is a true upcycle! The color is gorgeous! Well deserved win! The spice rack was a great idea. Thank you for saving that from the landfill. You are very talented!
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow..I had to like this one... came out amazing! And your baby is adorable 😍
Thanks. Not mine, I watch my neighbors son when she needs. The channel has named him little Boss. Always a better day when he hangs out.
@BUSTED to BUFFED her baby is adorable lol
Boss baby is doing a great job managing. This turned out great 👍🏾
Yeah he is!! keeps us all in check! 😁
Absolutely genius! You once again have given me a plan for a stash piece in the barn! Thank you!! Btw I LOVE the color choice. You make a great babysitter and furbrat lover of the gentle giant.
Days are so much funnier with little boss here. Thank you!
Best conversion yet, my favorite. You have found your calling, you’re a natural at this. Not just a painter but a designer.
Thank you!!
