Anthropologie Dupe Thrifted & Up Cycled Furniture, $1400 Knock-off with DIY Paint clay and IOD

The dresser is gorgeous! I like it better than the overpriced dresser. I have a sugar addiction as well, and I’m about your age. I have tried everything, including medication to stop. Your talk inspires and scares me. Did you stop sugar and start the diet? Or did you continue while on the diet and the cravings lessened? I am over weight by 40 lbs and my brain fog is so bad I was tested for Alzheimer’s. I need help.

Frosted Peeps. 😮

Keto is great

I kno this was 4 years ago but maybe you still read these comments. It’s a sugar Q. I tried to stop eating sugar, when I was in my 20s, Medifast or something. After 2 days I was shaking so hard I thought my eyeballs were going to fall out if my head or I’d faint. My dad got me a glass of OJ and I felt so much better. Would live to cut out sugar but scurred of that happening again. Thoughts? Dr Debi? ;) ps- we had a drawer of junk food in my house growing up. Theory was that if that was normal to us, we wouldn’t gorge on it. It worked. When friends came over, that was another story…. They’d look at that cabinet like it was the trunk in Reservoir Dogs, light emanating from it. Just sit and stare. Then off to the races….

You are a beautiful person ❤️. I not only enjoyed the beautiful work you did on the dresser, but I love the story and the comparison of the sugar looking furniture and your real-life challenges with sweets.
I, too, struggle with sugar. I will be 58 soon. I'm so impressed by what you have accomplished.
Stay strong!

Thank you! Now that was a well told story.

Very sweet and meshes with the minimalistic vibe!

Absolutely gorgeous

Ha! Watched this video on my third sugar free day. Catching up on your tutorials while I dream up the recipe for the dresser I want to paint that’s sitting in the garage.

I agree with Keto. Most days I only eat once per day because I'm not hungry. I thought milk is not on Keto though.
I absolutely love the dresser. ❤

I hear ya. I was on Keto for a year, then the lockdowns came. I was then on/off keto each week. I finally got back on track and got back on strict Keto for about 6 weeks now. No sugar, grains, or processed food. I feel so much better. When I want sugar I tell myself not to eat it or it will set off a 2-day binge of sweets. It's almost like being an alcoholic.

Too much of a Debbie downer would like to see more interior decorating stories

Amazing dresser! Love what you did with it. However, why do you still keep all that sugar at home?

This is only the third video I've seen of yours, but I hope you don't take this the wrong way. The things you make look really messy at first but come out absolutely beautiful. I would like to redo a piece but I'm perfectionist and I wish I wasnt because it prevents me from starting thinking I'm going to ruin something. This dresser came out gorgeous

I am battling sugar right now, im diabetic 2 with edema so I know the withdrawl from sugar and bread, AND no fruit! its insaine, my dad used to say if I cant eat, I dont want to live, and he died at 73. I am 60, Im suppose to eat meat for blood sugar. Your dresser is amazing.🐸🌼🌱

Funny I'm trying right now. You are awesome, looks amazing.

We gave up sugar years ago, and feel so good! I had a Dairy queen Blizzard yesterday and it was SO stinkin' sweet...and my gut was upset all afternoon! Not worth it one bit

Beautifull your tecnic❤

Love you Debbie You are so funny! I love you videos, I love you artwork. Thank you for all your help 💜

Hi, I've just got around to viewing this wonderful video, 4 years late :(. I wish you were able to put the 'original' version photo within your video so I could see it...? I cannot find it on your community page :(

Unfortunately I am your sugar twin 😫

❤

Have. Ot seen u in awhile are u doing well an I love ur piece.

This dresser is my all time favorite. I can't believe it. I thought bright colors would be my favorite. Go figure?

Can we do the furniture and maybe do the health/ sugar thing on another channel? It’s not the reason most of us are watching!

What is this song?

It looks good Deb, and you do you and let them do them. God Bless

I love it… gorgeos

Beautiful

Truly beautiful I love this dresser and it does look like a wedding cake ❤

Ok so the beautiful works of art, the stories, the great music, and of course the dancing at the end of each video. I love it all! I am catching up with as many videos as I can.

That is stunning, love it.

Gorgeous and gorgeous ! Thanks for sharing this story - I'm needing to get off sugars 100% - so th8s is encouraging - thank you !

You nailed it!❤

Debi, I'm curious - how long did this dresser take to sell? I'm just about to start one myself because of your video! I'd also be interested to know a ball-park sale price, taking into account the amount of moulds used. Thanks!

You did a wonderful job on the dresser! Watch out for Debthropologie! Also love listening to your stories while you create!

I love this Debi❤ love your story too and good ridens to those peeps! Cheers to good health❤❤❤

Stunning. Just found your site from a local Debi's DIY paint dealer. Unfortunately she's going out of biz, but had lots of great tips for me and sold me paint for my new piece that looks very similar to your Antrho dupe dresser. She also told me to watch your videos and I'm so glad I did. This is EXACTLY my style. So I will either try to mimic something similar or add an IOD floral transfer (my first idea). Not sure yet, but I'm excited to get started.

Seems the wax seals the paint. Correct? If so, does it ever need to be reapplied?

You lost me during your 5+ minute sugar rant… I was just here to see your dresser.

Oh......and the dresser turned out Gorgeous! 😊👍

Wow! I tuned into your channel because of the Gorgeous dresser, to watch you remake a dresser into the inspiration dresser.... wasn't expecting your food life story! I'm very into nutrition and the Keto/ Carnivore diet thing..... haven't started it yet, but have been researching it (Keto Rewind with Jess from Texas is one that I've been following, Dr. Ken Berry, The Carb Addiction Dr. Dr. Cywes, myzerocarblife with Kelly Hogan, Dr. Sten Ekberg, Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Jason Fung, High Intensity Health with Mike Mutzel, Dr. Mindy Pelz, The Diet Doctor with lots of people with Great Nutritional Advice, Mikhalia Peterson along with her parents had Great health results from eliminating different foods, ect......there are just Too many people to list that I am watching for help to change my health! Mentally as well as physically....ADD brain clashing with OCD brain added to Sweet/Sugar/ Carb addict emotional eating blah blah blah. I am glad that you're doing well with your dietary changes! Keep it up! 😊👍

The only way to waste bad foods is to put them in your marvelous body that needs nutrition, quality nutrition!!

I’m so happy for you that you found out the truth about your health! I believe constant hunger is our body asking for NUTRITION, not more food! Vitamin packed food!

Body needs fats!

Nutrition needs to be taught in schools! I’m surprised that after all that you didn’t take a course in it. I had it in nursing and if people knew WHAT is necessary for their bodies to do what they do, they be much more kind to it!

The chemical process going on are so intense and need exact vitamins, in groups, and alone.

I’m much more into nutrition than medicine. I quit due the amounts of chemically formulated pharma given to people!

Without the correct nutrition, disease happens! Period! IMHO

REsearch Dr. Adkins. He was a cardiologist who’s patients lab results were better and normal after his diet. He proved the sugar, flour, additive truth.

HEALTH is the issue, not just treating disease!

I personally lost 29 lbs in 30 days and my lab values were wonderful!

Look to your health through DIET. We have the internet now for info. Read his book.

Beautiful! I will make one like this! It’s awesome.

I mainly loved it in my coffee and it was the hardest thing to stop! The more sugar you eat the more you want! Never satisfied and continuous hunger! It’s in everything.

I’m off now, as I have been in the past! Never again.

FLOUR ALSO! No more.

My mom eats at 2 o'clock a full main meal. And she eats steamed vegetables, Alternating w salmon or chick or meat. No flavor additives she eats it steamed natural. Her blood tests show fully 100 percent healthy. & She eats with it either cottage cheese or sour cream, for breakfast she eats oatmeal with side cup of yogurt . Hour later a glass of milk. She eats nothing after her 2 o'clock meal. She ate this way bc my grandma lived w/o health issues on this same diet almost 100 years. My great grandma lived this way having zero health issues but died at 1 month from turning 100 .. due to heart attack. When she had gearr attack the dr said she so old they chose not to surgically implant a stint. She died 1 months later. My mom is 67. I dont doubt she will outlive me. P.s. both great grandma and my mom never smoke or drink

It's been suggested I do Keto. It's very difficult to cut out ALL bread and all ice cream (vanilla) my addictions!
