It’s 2:57 AM as I type… I’ve been, planning, budgeting, dreaming and collaborating with some of my favorite people on something really big for the DIY Paint retailers & you!.
Finally I can tell you all the details!
We are hosting DIY Bootcamp on Sept 14-16 2017 in Dagsboro DE at Jayne’s Reliable!
And hopefully at Farm Fresh Vintage Finds in Fairview TN late next year.
You will be painting, repurposing and selling your goods to the public on the last day of our event!
But how will we have time in between all of the workshops Debi?
I did say it was bootcamp 🙂 for real bring covered shoes!
The workshops are designed to prepare you for the last day, so here are some of the classes we have lined up!
Our very own Karen Berg will be sharing her expertise on finding and flipping furniture for profit! Karen is famous for her Trashy Tuesday Series, check it out here!
Learn how to layer and blend paint, use color and create beautiful finishes with Dionne Woods from The Turquoise Iris!
The workshop with Dionne will be focused on painting, there will be time for a Q&A at the end of class. Dionne has lots to share about staging photos, selling online and shipping furniture.
If your not following Dionne on Facebook, you are missing out, her FB lives are really inspiring!
Sally and Josie AKA the IOD Sisters are teaching DE event, a fun workshop using their molds, transfers and stamps! Learn how to enhance your projects and sell these great products to your customers!
This beautiful mirror was created by our very own Retailer Jenny Acevedo of Prim!
She will be sharing how to reach your customers and bring them to your shop with Facebook Instagram and Pinterest! Social media is a key factor in building your business, our goal is to give you tools to reach your customers and get your message to those who are looking for you! Please bring your iPad or laptop with you! there will be a Q&A at the end of Beth’s workshop to also answer your blogging questions.
Karen will be sharing her tips on running a successful Brick and Mortar and tips for sourcing the goods that will bring in the customers! Jayne’s Reliable is one of our top selling DIY Paint retailers. Karen’s product mix is fun and unique ! Come a day early and shop at her favorite auction that is acres big, bring your truck and haul back some good stuff!
I’ll be teaching an on camera video workshop! I’ll be sharing how I built my business through the power of youtube even though I’m Camera shy, tech challenged.
Now it’s your turn to teach, sell your awesome projects and share everything you learned at camp with the public!
Here’s the nitty gritty,
Our camp is open to DIY Retailers and we have a few spots left for potential retailers who are interested in selling paint in their shop. On the last day the public is invited to come shop attend demos and create make and takes!

The cost of Bootcamp does not include travel expenses or lodging but we do have some good sources for Air BNB houses and Beth will have room for 14 guest in her new Vacation rental farm house… it looks pretty awesome! You will need to plan for food, we have some yummy places in the area. We will provide lots of coffee, water, pizza night and a cook out!
Pack your brushes! We hope to see you there! If you’re a DIY Paint retailer & have questions please post them on our group page! If you’re interested in becoming a retailer or would like to attend the fair contacts us at Hello@Debisdesigndiary.com

- we have other surprises planned that wont be revealed until you arrive at camp. Please note that each camp will vary slightly, we are confirmed to have Dionne and an IOD expert teach in DE and we hope to have them again in TN. If not there will be alternate amazing guest teachers.
