Your room looks fantastic, May I make a suggestion? For safety sake, I would have your dad bolt that tall skinny shelving unit to the wall so it does not come tumbling down on your head and sore neck! even just to attach leather straps around the spindles at the top to the wall... also, you want more weight on the bottom shelves instead of the top to counter balance. I hope that helps hun❤
Thank you for the great suggestion! Bobby did that for me last week. The last thing I want was that thing tipping over on me❤❤❤❤
Every time I watched Hoarders, I would get up and clean house. 😊
Hey Debi - some years ago, I had to move out of a house I had been in for 17 years - my house was always uncluttered, but it was decorated to the hilt & I had a lot of bins of extra decor in the garage - I do consider myself pretty much a decor hoarder - my friends have been known to shop my garage - and on top of it all, I only had 30 days to get out ! Fortunately, I have a friend who is an organizer extraordinaire & she was able to come help me or I would never have made it - and at night, just like you, I would watch reruns of Hoarders to get myself motivated for the next day ! So I feel your pain, but you’re doing great ! You’ll make it ! Blessings as always from sunny Central Florida! 🥰
Those hoarding shows man they shake me to the core but they do help motivate me. I got rid of a lot from my closet today. I bet your house is beautiful. ❤❤❤❤
Every person in your family has a unique personality and your personalities all blending together make up a beautiful unit. You each spark each other to go outside your comfort zones…you get your sister to be creative, your sister encourages you to be more outgoing…your dad is the anchor and your nieces are the icing on the family cake! Love your videos Deb, keep them coming.
When you see potential in everything it’s easy to get into a hoarding situation. I battle with it also. I am an introvert also and I have anxiety. So I have to do what your doing and every once in awhile get real with myself and clean out my potential hoard in order to get my anxiety under control.
Hi Debbie I’m 62 and only last year I realised I’m a introvert but I honestly don’t care I am what I am . I also have a craft business and that is the icing to my cake . You are a outstanding woman and your eye for colour is second to non !! Loved what you have done so far it looks beautiful 😍 day at a time ❤❤
Embrace your personality Debi. Being an introvert isn’t something that needs to be fixed, God made you and you are fearfully and wonderfully made. I’m also an introvert and I have learned that accepting this part of me is freeing and wonderful! Love your new art space…so inspiring!
Amen!
Thank you Ruth. I am happy being an introvert I just want more balance :)
Well said. So true. And... Improving one's character doesn't mean changing your GOD given personality.
ALSO: The Gospel (for anyone reading this comment- who doesn't know WHO the Salvation of GOD is...can be found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4ff.)
Your wonderful!! I’m an introvert also..As funny as it is, I love going to HomeGoods 💓.. Every now and again I get thinking I should do more things…But Why💓🌷. I enjoy what I do.
Gee, you could have fooled me. You are on here with all these videos. That's an extrovert to me!
You are the only person I know who loves these colors as much as I do. In out "new" old house, the living room has pink and red polka dot rugs, a red sofa, 2 turquoise floral chairs, a pink velvet chair in the reading nook and I just ordered 2 chairs in white, pink, red and turquoise floral. I am 69 years old and completely finished with anyone's opinion about my choices! And it's beautiful!!!!!!!!!
You got an impressive amount of work done in 10 days Debi!! You should totally be proud! I love seeing clips of your family and time spent with them!! I am an amnivert..but i much perfer to be away from people and crowds. I struggle with focusing and staying on task quite often so seeing you tackle a space and make it beautiful with all the beautiful projects gives me motivation and inspiration!
“I love you dearly” playing on this video is an echo of how I feel about your designs, your honesty , your family and your faith! Thx
Thank you, Beverly ❤❤❤❤
@@DebisDesignDiary🎉🎉🎉🎉
At least you use your hoard to create magic spaces! Blessed and joy filled God transformations!
Your dad is the coolest. I love how he can design . All kinds of pieces of furniture out of nothing. He is a genius how many people can do that. Way to go pops. Your the best.
My house suffers some because I’m either at work or at my studio. Additionally, I know what it feels like to acquire more materials than I’ll ever have time to use. It’s a wondrous thing to see the projects and works of art complete inside your mind despite the frustration of never getting around to so many of them. You’re not dysfunctional, Debi, you’re an artist and a maker. We’re a different breed.
A quote pops into my mind: "A body at rest remains at rest, a body in motion remains in motion" or something like that. Its true. I, too, am an introvert, but work and family "force" me out of my comfort zone, which is vital for me. I do need my down time, but I have to keep it in check or I will want to stay there and be depressed.
You're doing great, Debi! Been loving your content for 8 years now, I found you at the lowest point in my life when my marriage was falling apart and I stayed in my bedroom for days at a time. I found your "painted sofa!" video, binged all your content, inspiring me to dream one day of having my own space. I have that now. I once met you and Jamie Ray at a workshop I participated in on Cedros years ago. Thank you.
I love what you did with your space It's beautiful.
I am an introvert also, I can be an extrovert when I have to be. Most of the positions I've had require that. Had to learn how to speak in front of groups of people and deal with situations involving hostile energies. For an introvert that is draining. My advice, what helped me, was self-care. What I mean by that is getting some alone time. Lots of prayer but not in anxious kind of way, just being grateful for what was going on in my life even if I wasn't happy about all of it. I also had to catch negative self-talk. Not being so hard on myself.
Lots of love to you. 💓
.
Your wonderful talented Dad should start his own DIY channel to teach and share his amazing building talents with us. He's truly a STAR!
Who else immediately straightened up their posture when Debi mentioned how she got the neck pinch? No wonder my neck has been sore lately!! Love the office/craft space makeover. So beautiful and so inspiring!!
Debi…it’s all beautiful! Your color choices are yummy. I really love your family tradition. I think we as society has moved away from tradition and it makes me a little sad. You definitely have a knack for decor and color and I enjoy you sharing. I have a problem with getting rid of things also as everything has a purpose! I’m trying hard. Your sister is finally a painter I see…lol. Dad is a champ! Love your family, faith, and how all your personalities complement each other. Heal that neck..don’t overdo . I can relate to neck issues . Tfs💕
Your daddy is so awesome….and honey you are not alone. I have cried over your episodes about clutter. At 59 I can relate to keeping too many things. It’s probably due to trauma and I strive to be better every day. Thank you for sharing your ugly as well as your beautiful!😊❤
I think you have something there. I'll be contemplating on that today😊
Hey I have one of those shaker machines..when i started, i went full speed 20 minutes 3x a day. You could hear wak wak wak. My bf said whats that noise? It was my inner arms hitting my love handles,!!!!😂 After 3 weeks, no noise, down 13 lbs, ( i say fluid) and 3" off my hips. No other exercise. Stuck lymph fluid.
Oh wow! Seriously??? When I saw what my sister bought. I was very skeptical now you are making me want to get one.!
You can't imagine how cool it is to watch a video and see someone I don't know reading my cousin Dionne's magazine. I love this!
I love your cousin!!! She’s amazing ❤❤❤
Thanks Jen!! Love you!!
@@DebisDesignDiary she really is the best. We are all so proud of her!
@@TheTurquoiseIris love you more!
I hope your neck gets better quickly! I’ll be praying for you- I know you have so much to do to be ready for your September “shindig”! No time for injuries!!!!
Wow there are just so many good things in all of your videos but seriously- so many good ideas in this one! That shelf that Dad made out of chair legs & scrap- amazing! The privacy screens- perfect touch! Your computer/craft area- wow! And that rug… a must have… oh that jiggly exercise thing too😂! Your chair is lovely! You are an amazing girl Debbi and so gifted at what you do. You have taken the talents that God has blessed you with and you have honed your skills and have taken huge brave & leaps of faith- and it hasn’t been easy. I appreciate that you share the good and the hard stuff- you truly do bless my day when I see you have another video out!
Oh and I watch hoarders too- just to keep myself in line!!!
thanks Hanna! the hoarders show is a good reality check for sure!
Hi Debi!
As a 54 yo with fibromyalgia I completely understand what you mean about wanting to go go go but having a body that says no no no. Give yourself some grace. You are doing an amazing job decluttering. Thank you for sharing your journey so openly.
Yes!! I have the same problem. I am trying to redo my little home from top to bottom, but if I do too much the fibro kicks in badly, and I end up not being able to do anything at all. So I try to do everything in the mornings - especially anything that is "heavy duty" labour intensive, then rest in the afternoons. That way I can still chip away at something every day. But, it's a very long, slow, process!!
My neck is pinched so bad right now. For the same reason probably.
Your house looks awesome uncluttered!!!!! It pops all your colors!
You inspire me in so many ways and I appreciate your openness and vulnerability. ❤
Another great video!🥰
Love all the beautiful colors… and that shelving unit your dad built was very creative. It came out great!☺️
I-m going through the decluttering thing too. My husband had a bad motorcycle accident. He will be fine, but it will take months if not a year. He's in a wheelchair for now. Making pathways through an old house with tiny rooms and a ton of clutter is a real wake-up call. We don't need things! We need people! So much work. The family has really pitched in and we are hoping to have a nice party aoon, before the leaves fall? Before the snow flies? Prayers are appreciated for Mark in Ohio.
What helps me declutter is donating things to a local charity or school. Our womens shelter & local school teachers are always happy to receive crafting supplies & etc... Makes It easier for me to let things go.
I'm with you Debi Intervert here too and a hoarder for a future project I think we're not wrong we just think differently from others!! Artist
I do that. I have shelves of thrifted stuff for project ideas I don't remember now😂
I love watching the show Hoarders but at this point I’m only hoarding free lumber and patio pavers. 😂 I also love watching these episodes and your art space turned out so colorful and beautiful. (Your hair looks especially amazing too!)
You mentioned the launch date was coming up so I finally booked a ticket from NY to California to visit a relative, hoping your date didn’t get postponed. Less than 24 hours later I got your email and bought a ticket to the launch! I’m SO excited to be able to meet you, the IOD sisters and see your store!! Praying for your neck to heal quickly.
Patti!!! So happy your coming🎉🎉🎉🎉 can wait!❤❤❤
Your dad is the sweetest! You are Amazing in everything you do!
The chair turned out so cute! I'm an introvert. I don't like to shop though. I enjoy learning new hobbies and it's how I found you. I like to give my current furniture a new look and love DIY products for that. I"ve also learned to saw, grow vegetables and flowers from seeds, preserve my harvest, I've learned to use and design projects on my vinyl cutting machine. I'm teased because I'm organized and like to create excel spreadsheets for all the things, including managing money. I don't like to shop on-line as much as possible to avoid gas emissions from deliveries. I keep my clothes for yrs. then I donate them, when I get tire of them, and only shop to replace them. I'm creative, so I donate things or give them away, then I replace with new creations.
Ha!! I just recently spent an entire weekend purging my whole cluttered garage and Hoarders was the show I watched each night to remind myself this is just STUFF getting in my way and i dont need it. It was so therapeutic!! Afterwards i felt so renewed. Good job you
To get myself out more I journal every morning about something I could for someone else. Connecting with others makes me a better person
Debi I love you and your creativeness, but I have to also give props to your creative Genius Dad. I love everything he does, he’s AHHHMAZING with the assignments you give him. To use your words, “he is so stinking Cute.” I absolutely love and look forward to seeing your videos! Take care of yourself and health!!!❤ oh yea, your new space is super Cute!
Ellie cracks me up, all of you do! As a fellow introvert I'm guessing a lot of other creatives are that way too. Love your colorful happy walls, chair, desk, & one of a kind bookcase built by your one of a kind Dad! He's inspired me to attempt making bookshelves instead of buying Ikea. I'm not a doctor but wonder if an inversion table might help you feel better It decompresses the spine. I gave one to my husband for his back, I use it too. I hope you feel better soon Debi!
Debi, I see myself in you so much! I am also an Introvert. I know in my case, I am single and used to go shopping on weekends and in the evenings at Home Goods, thrift stores, and Goodwill to de-stress because there was no one to go home to and it felt great to find good deals. I think it is ok but you are doing great and it looks wonderful.
You make the world an even more beautiful place than it allready is....with all your colors, Debi! I admire you....❤ not because you are "perfect" but because you are perfectly human!❤ I really think you are fantastic and inspiering!🙂☀️🌼
Get well darling heart. You are one in a million! 🫂 hugs from London❤
Oh Debbie... after seeing your sweet video, I went outside to water my flowers and I'm like" did i gave Debbie a hug by like the video? nope!" Bad Magdalena. So here I'm again! Big Likebsnd back to pooling the weeds. 😊❤❤
Absolutely LOVE the colors you use! Suggestion: Declutter a little bit one day a week for an hour!
I am a hoarder of craft supplies and books. To declutter my house when I retired, I chose to do it one room at a time. I started with my craft room. First step was taking an inventory. I saw that I had WAY more stuff than I could ever use. Then I held each item in my hands and asked myself if I really needed it. Could I see myself using it in the next 3 months, or one month? If the answer was no, I put it in the donation box. When I got down to the amount of things that seemed right, I bought a system of totes and shelves to hold everything. Then I listed everything in the totes on an outside label. So much better!!
Good luck on your journey, Debi!
I just couldn't wait till you got back with another video. I enjoy them so much. They are so well filmed and exciting to see what you and your family are doing next. Love it when you share your faith and your stories ❤. I feel like you are my friend.
Good video 🥰 smile Jesus loves you ❣️
God has no darkness in Him Debi. Every good and every perfect gift comes from Him!❤
You have the fastest shipping on the Westcoast!!!! Serriously, 2 days???? to Wisconsin? thats CRAZY FAST! THANKYOU! I love you Debi, your awesome and funny, its a joy to watch you, God bless you❤
I watch hoarders as a inspiration to clean and declutter too. Peopling is hard , acceptance of yourself and your boundaries won't be hard for those that love you. ps I love your editing
I love how everything is turning out! So bright and cheery!!!!
Organizing is my favorite!!!! Keeping like things together helps and tossing something when you bring in something is a good rule too!🎉
Debi, as a fellow introvert, I can honestly say you are doing fab as you still put yourself out there, with your business, and with TH-cam. I'm not that brave. I hear you re Hoarders. I do the same, and am slowly getting my home sorted. But, I'm having to do it all on my own, and it takes a lot longer, as I have fibromyalgia too. I'm going to be reorganising my desk space last, and you've now got me thinking of how to elevate my monitor properly. Thanks for all you share with us - you are the one who started me on my diy path. Lots of love from across the pond xx
Debi. Your color sense is so outgoing, so you don't need to be extrovert. You are perfectly perfect. Love your family, especially your Dad and Levi, the motivating muse. ❤
Your newly revived space and the carpet runner are beautiful, Debi! I hope you are completely healed now. Pinched nerves are the pits!
Love how the desk turned out with the yellow! Don't force yourself out of what obviously makes you happy by being alone. Yes, do things but don't think you have to totally change!
Hi, Debi!
This was such a great video. I am so sorry because of your neck. I hope you`ll be able to recover soon. I can`t believe how much work you got done.
Everything looks wonderful. Bless you, you beautiful fairy :)))
thank you lechat!
Debi- I am in the middle of moving out of the office my husband & I have been in for the last 18 years. I rented a 20 yard dumpster this week. It has been so overwhelming. Your videos have been so encouraging for me. Perfect timing! I always appreciate everything you share. I am loving all your color choices. That pink chair & the new rug are SHAZAM 🙌 And yes you are so fortunate to have the family you do ♥️ And I like the word finished too 😉 Thanks again.
Your getting rid of the clutter little by little. Keep up the good work. Great job Debbie. ❤
We see things differently as creative people. We see what an item could be and then get excited about the potential. Unfortunately we just don’t have unlimited free time to make all our visions come to reality. That’s how we get into trouble. We don’t want to throw anything away because we lie to ourselves that one day we will get to it, we will start or finish that project. Then before you know it we have accumulated so much stuff and get overwhelmed and then depression follows. God definitely spoke to you through your pinched nerve. You slowed down and got to projects you’ve been wanting to do that you had no time for. You have to feel proud that you got them done. Your space looks so beautiful.
Love how open and honest you have been in this inspiring video!!! You are blessed beyond measures. I lost my dad a few years ago. All i can say is treasure every minute. You are amazingly talented! Thank you for sharing ❤ I'm so glad that I came across your channel 😊
Oh my gosh! I used to visit your shop on Cedros ( I actually worked in Solana Beach for 9 years.) and miss it so much! I now live in Prescott, Arizona. Loving watching the transformation and seeing your family. Your style exactly matches mine! Sadly, I was disabled in an bike accident and can't do too much on my own now and need a lot of help from my very busy husband. He's slowly painting my studio walls yellow. I was able to paint a tv cabinet in a beautiful aqua color to use for storage. I got so much inspiration from watching this video. Between watching you and Hoarders (Don't we all?!!) I'll get my new studio done. ❤❤❤
Your office/art nook looks a-ma-zing!!!🤩 It’s not only functional but it’s a great eye catcher with all the pretty color combos. Looks like it flows really well with the rest of the space now.🤩
I, too, am an introvert. Going out is always a challenge that I try overcome, but it is so rewarding when I do. ❤
❤ the screens at your sisters! ❤ your newly painted nook! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your home is looking great!!!! I'm an extrovert and I find that I like introverts because we compliment each other. Find an extrovert like your sister to take advice from for organization tips since she is organized or Jami and Zeb who is somewhat organized as well. Just like you to be a teacher of paint to others, you need teachers of organization to surround you. Instead of trips to Home Goods, go to stores like the Container store that is an organizational store.
I LOVE the new look of your chair!! Your family is truly beautiful Debi. You are blessed!❤️
That chair is awesome. Great job.
You are such an amazing and skilled artist. And I’ve said it before I think here that artistry just has that sense of chaos if you’re really creating, do you need to keep up with it yes and I think you’re seeing that now but please never stop creating you’re amazing And unique you are a gift to the world❤️❤️🌺❤️❤️
It looks great! So proud of you for taking steps.
thanks for sharing your hoarding inclination. since I started furniture art, I have become a bit of a painting supplies and furniture hoarder. I can't seem to stop collecting either. Yesterday, I actually donated a few pieces I had collected, so that I could make room for a few pieces I had stowed in my car for storage. I'm also an introvert too and when I have free days, all I feel like doing is spending the day painting or working on my other hobbies: making homemade body butters, gardening and cooking. I think most artists are predominantly introverted personalities. I went out all the time in my twenties and 30's. Pushed myself to go out alone to concerts, festivals, etc. I eventually figured out I have social anxiety and being alone or only with 1 person at a time, is my comfort zone and brings me calm. Occasionally, I will buy tickets to events that I know I will enjoy and that is how i force myself to get out more. That seems to work best for me. Your video's inspire me. I love your color combinations. Thank you so much!!
debi- embrace your introverted self. if u force yourself to be an extrovert when u r an introvert u will become very unhappy. there is nothing wrong with being an introvert although the world likes to tell us there is!!!
Adorable. We all need a redo sometimes. I have an 81 sq ft shed……stuffed full of craft supplies. It’s and overwhelming amount of good stuff. I quit buying anything. I am making myself stop, reorganize, replace my temp shelving i made 6 years ago. I cannot do anything in there. Looking forward to a makeover..you are inspiring👍. Btw…your chair has been one of my most favorite things. That paint pour is amazing. Sad to see it go but your pink is lovely as well.
I believe your family is blessed to have you!
Your dad is awesome.
Your bungalow is beautiful and perfect for you, don’t be ashamed; but do clean it if it makes you feel better. Little secret…(we are all messy!). I love how it looks.
I think I have the same issue in my neck 🥺.
Y’all have a crazy fun family. My husband and I love watching your vlog. Thanks for sharing with us.
I Love EVERY SINGLE THING!!!!!! Looks great! ❤❤❤ And I love your family! Ya'll are so sweet!
Seeing you paint that Chair really hurt! That chair was So ME!!! it was an Amazing piece.
This video makes me feel so much better because the same thing is happening to myself. You work full-time and then you come home and all you wanna do is sleep when you know you gotta clean your house and then you sit there and watch it pile up and pile up and pile up and your unmotivated clean it because you’re too tired. I just started tackling one little spot at a time. And I’m still moving out of snails pace.
You made your space so beautiful!! And I love the shelf your dad made! You and your whole family are a great team!!❤
Yes,Deborah the sea is calling you!
Debbie everything looks fabulous! The paint shelf is genius 👍👏😊hope you are feeling better 🤪the windows at sister's house are awesome and so is your new rug! 💕
Love your joyful looking space. Introverts are wonderful, I know because I am also one too. We are so much more interesting than most, we are deep thinkers and feelers. Creativity and wild imaginings come more easily to us. Celebrate your uniqueness and rarity. Much Lightness and Joy for you always. :))
oh I just love you! I love all the busy busy. The color choices are a bit bright for my aesthetic but I love that you just go for it. I try to do that too. It’s just paint. It’s just hair. It’s just art. It can always be redone. 🖤💚🖤
I love all the use of colors in your space. It spells happy 💕
Everything looks so much better in your little office nook Debi. You did a great job! Many times when we have suffered loss, and sometimes when we've suffered money problems and a lack of financial freedom (free from stress and worry) for a long time, we begin to hang on tightly to "things". Because we are suffering from lack, a lack of funds, so we start to save things in fear if we don't save them then when we have a need for a new chair, desk, lamp, etc., we won't be able to afford to buy them. We tell ourselves we are being thrifty, reusing things, and saving money. But just the opposite is true. We are filling up the empty scary places in our hearts and in our bank accounts, with stuff, so that it doesn't feel so empty, and we don't feel so poor. We hang on to things because we are scared of losing things because we have suffered so much loss, or because we are poor in spirit, because we've suffered from a lack of sufficient finances for so long. So we buy things we don't need because it makes us feel happy and not so poor in the moment. After years of suffering financial strain, and losing my home to a house fire, losing all my childhood and family photos, my wedding photos, photos of our 3 children as babies and growing up, and photos of family who had passed away, the things I could not replace. I had lost my oldest sister 10 yrs earlier when she was just 36, then I lost my Mom in a car accident, then 2.5yrs later my Dad died from a heart attack (really a broken heart I believe). Then my house burned down and I lost all of the photos I had of them, and of my own children, and our family photos as they were growing up. And I found myself hanging on to a lot of "stuff" because I had lost so much. My husband and I have been in the antiques and antique auction business for a long time, so we were bombarded with lots of old vintage and antique "stuff" that just needed a little work, or that we wanted to fix up and use "one day", or a large antique piece we were saving to use once we could finally afford to buy our own home again. The next thing you know, we were paying for a storage building to store the stuff that we weren't using, didn't need, and did not have the time or energy to repair or fix up. If you can live without something for 6 months or more, you definitely don't need it!! I have to say, the most important "thing" I lost, that still hurts when I think it about it, are the pictures of my children as babies and at various stages of their life, and pictures of my parents, especially the ones of my parents with my children. All three of my children are adults now, our oldest son is 39, our daughter is 34, and our youngest son is 28. I just turned 58 September 18th, and my husband will be 65 October 18th. And as we age it gets harder to remember exactly what each of our children looked like at 1, or 2, etc. I know I will always grieve the loss of the people that I love, and I will always grieve the loss of those precious photos that instantly brought back cherished memories and moments in our lives, moments that are getting harder to recall as we get older. But God reminds me that there were no photos back when he walked the earth back in Biblical times. And that when I get to Heaven He has every stage and moment of all of our lives recorded, and I will see every image of my childrens lives and my own life, and my parents lives. But better yet, I will see each of them and spend eternity with them. And I don't need a lot "stuff" to try and hold on to them or the memories of them, my heart is filled with love for them, and no fire in Hell or on earth can take that away. The "stuff" only brings clutter and stress to my life. And I don't need to hold on to something "in case I need it one day". God will provide everything I need on a daily basis. If I need something in the future, then He will provide the means for me to go out and buy it. And I will have the pleasure of shopping for it and picking out the exact thing I want and need. I find it most helpful to give all of the "stuff" that I've been hanging onto, aka., "hoarding" to other people, I know that you know, it really is better to give than to receive, and I always feel happier when I can bless someone else and see how happy they are when I give them something they really like or need. And sometimes I sell the nicer antique or vintage pieces to buy something I really and truly need. It's a win-win situation either way. My home is much more comfortable and cleaner when its free of clutter. And my heart and mind work much better when they are free of the stress and care of clutter, and I am much calmer and peaceful when I'm not surrounded by a lot of "stuff" cluttering up my life. I even find it easier to spend time with God, read my Bible, and hear the voice of the Holy Spirit when I pray, when I am not surrounded by a bunch of unnecessary stuff. I hope this helps you to continue on your journey to freeing yourself from too much "STUFF". You are already on your way to a better life just by realizing you have the tendency to hoard to much stuff! Another motivator might be to think about how nice it would be for your dad and your boyfriend if they weren't having to always "fix" all of the "stuff" you bring home. Some junky old pieces on the side of the road really are just "junk". Or they may be an answer to someone else's prayers who really and truly need a table, or desk, or some other item that they truly cannot afford to buy, but they can make from that piece of junk. So the next time you pass an old piece on the side of the road, instead of dragging it home and sticking it in the corner of your tiny yard, or giving it to your dad or bobby to create something out of. Maybe you can say...."yes, that piece could be made into something nice, but I don't need it, and maybe someone else really does, so I'm just going to leave it there, for them." God bless you Debi, I love your honesty and willingness to share your vulnerabilities with all of us. That takes real courage, especially for an introvert. I know, I have been married to the most amazing introvert for 34 years. I tell him that he is the only person I know who could be stranded on a deserted island for years, all by himself, and be completely happy! God bless you~
What a great inspiring video Debbie! I’m in the holy terror midst of decluttering and reorganizing my craft/creative room and watching this video is timely! It’s a huge job, I’m on day 4, doing 3 to 4 hours a day. It’s like I have a mini craft store and way too much stuff. I love it tho. 🤦🏻♀️. Love your desk! I have the same type, slightly different drawer and design detail on the side bookshelves, but same era of style. It has a drawer on either side as it’s meant for two people to work facing each other. (I share it with my kitty cats😺). Now I’m thinking to paint it. The neck support looks like a great idea. How perfect to watch TH-cam ideas while you do self care! I hope your neck feels better.🥰
The wall is super cool but I have to say the yellow desk is my favorite part about this video! As an introvert mysekf, I totally get being a homebody, but those times when I do (against my will basically) get out and go for adventures with the people I love, I always have a fantastic time and wish I did it more. P.S. Seeing those shelves (repainted) and stocked with all the amazing DIY products is like a dream!!! Still saving my pennies to get some making powder! But I'm so stuck on which to get! I'd love some advice!
You've done a great job! I need to do the same. I keep buying stuff for a project then find out I already bought it. I don't have a problem ditching things. I need to take time for my stuff, and stop using helping people as an excuse not to get myself organized. I have to agree with your Dad "finished" is a great word.
Hi Debi! Another introvert here, and I love being one. I used to think something was wrong with me, not doing like so many others following the same path as everyone else. It is so nice be off on another path, you see more, you feel more, and you do more in your own unique special way, how cool is that?! You have the courage to be yourself, enjoy the adventures! And that rug, it's so happy looking and I simply love it!!:))I look forward to your videos so much, thank you for sharing your life and your dear lovely family with us!!:)) Joy and happiness to you always!!:))😊
Debi..I’ve missed you…I just love your videos it’s like you’re a friend and I can’t wait to find out what’s new in your life. Your wall and desk are looking awesome and the shelving your dad made is perfection. Also an introvert, trying not to procrastinate as I’m building myself a clientele in the cleaning business 😉. I also have a tiny house with not much closet space. I’ve been watching these on Netflix, hope it can help. The Home Edit, with Joanna and Clea and Marie Kondo with her spark of joy. Hope you read this and that it helps… love Sandra 😘😘
Love the pink chair.
Greetings from VA. I absolutely love your videos each Sat. Saturday is just not the same when we don’t get to see you. The closeness of your family and the way you work together is something we all should strive to create with our own families. Thank you for ALL the inspiration in all kinds of ways.
I have no idea how I found your channel but I’m so glad I did. I have so many projects I keep putting off but you are inspiring me! I’m just worried I don’t have your artistic skills. I’m going to pick one and dive in!
enjoy creating Tee, you can do it!
The wall looks wonderful! Your nook is bright and beautiful. I hope you accomplish your goal of getting things under control by September.
Love the chair!!!! Great progress; you’ll get your place cleaned out soon🤗. Thanks for sharing your personal story. We need to be very cautious of what we do in order not to injure ourselves🙏
I love, love the rug at your desk. I would love one in my sewing room!
I love how the pink chair turned out😊
Hi Debi, i just love you more and more after each video. You are so down to earth and honest about your journey. You have such an amazing talent for creating beautiful things out of salvage, your whole family does! You and Danielle are like myself and my sister, she is super organized and I'm, well...like you. We can embrace our differences and see ourselves like God does! May God bless you and your family, Debi! 💜🧡💙
Cobweb❤❤❤❤ miss you!
If it makes you feel better, my dad was a hoarder - he had piles and piles and piles of stuff just rotting away because he never followed through. You, however, use the things you collect and make 'new' things from them...to me that's not 'hoarding'. You have 'piles' but they're not a wasteland of dead dreams. You move energy [very inspiring!]
Beautiful Rug!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 it so fits that yellow desk it pops 💛 😍
my goodness the colors are brilliant! fantastic. . . ..
I am such a fan of yours Debi. I totally understand your frustration about the clutter. Love your family, they are awesome ❤
Ohhhh what a makeover Debi!!! It’s gorgeous and looks so fun!! I love the family videos and Elle made me laugh out loud on that machine😂😂. love your family!! Great job, Debi! Can’t wait to see all of this in person!
I cannot wait either Dionne ! Hoping it will be soon❤❤❤
The clutter isn’t the worst part Debbie , it’s having to make choices about the clutter because they become permanent decisions you have to live with and that causes panic . Blessings .
Debi, your nook looks beautiful! I especially love the chair refresh! A close family is most definitely a huge blessing in this crazy world. 🙂
Sadly, I can relate all too well to your neck situation, as I suffered an injury a little more than a week ago that resulted in a pinched nerve in my neck too. It was funny, in hindsight, as I tripped over my granddaughter as she dropped to the floor in fear of a red wasp that flew into the house (she was fine!). I was paying attention to the wasp, attempting to shoo it back out the way it came, and hadn’t realized that Miss Lydia dropped to the floor 2 steps ahead of me and pulled a throw over her head! I pray that yours heals quickly. It is definitely easy to overdo things - ask me how I know…so take it as easy as you’re able to. The tasks will still be there when the inflammation eases, and you’ll be at less risk for more damage. ❤️
