DBT Designs

We love paint. And fabric. And bargains. And gin. Yup, you read that right - gin. If you see something you love and want email us or message us. So we do. Basically.

We are a mother and daughter team who love good design and a great bargain. We love thrift stores, estate sales, garage sales and roadside finds. The things we find yell "Make me pretty and useful but mostly pretty." Patti: I paint stuff - pretty much anything that doesn't walk away fast enough. Just ask the dog. I have the same reaction to paint that my 2 1/2 year old niece has to a stuffed unico

rn - "I love it and need it." Cindy: I sew stuff. I received an air compressor and a staple gun a couple of years ago and it changed my life the way indoor plumbing changed the lives of pioneers everywhere. I also have an unholy love of fabric. All textiles, really. So that is DBT Designs.

We love our DBT Devotees! We are going to be sure we post our new items on our page before they go in the shop so that you have first dibs. This adorable yet indispensable fella is one such example.
I’m calling him Costas, my Greek bartender. His striking white color reminds me of the beautiful buildings that pop out at you up against that incredible azure backdrop of sea and sky.
This vintage Cisco bar cart measures 31.5 h x 26 w x 17 d and has great sparkly wheels so you can move the party whenever the mood strikes!
If you want to kick his tires (Please don’t!!!) he will be at Amazing Grace in Marshall in a few days, but we wanted to give you a head start on nabbing this handsome, handy, and helpful guy! $50

BTW- all the accouterments on his shelves (except the booze!) are also available for purchase!

Will we win the battle? OR will YOU go to Amazing Grace in Marshall and put that sold sign on him and make yourself the happiest sofa owner in the world????? Tune in next time to find out who lived happily ever after with this mid century hunk! $500

"Ladies! Ladies! No need to fight, there's plenty of me to go around!" said no DBT item EVER. (Nothing sexist intended here, it was a quote we copied and should be applied equally to our gentlemen friends) As each item ( unless it is part of a set) we present for adoption is typically a one-of-a-kind treasure, we seldom are able to replace it with another of the same. Have you been able to stop in to Amazing Grace yet? Have you seen something that wants to go home with you? I can only encourage you to make sure you get over there and get what wants you, as we've dropped many prices and things are going fast! New/old lovelies coming soon!

I promised to explain why we hadn't posted in so long, so here goes-----
Okay, so our basement bathroom is a bomb shelter. No, really. We have a mid century ranch and it was all the rage to build a foot thick cement room as part of your basement to keep you safe from nuclear attack. Time went by and Mr. and Mrs. America either decided the threat of being bombed by the RED SCOURGE was lessened, or their desire to use that bit of real estate for something more practical was increased.
Our particular shelter was eventually kitted out with a toilet, sink, and a metal shower stall. For reasons unfathomable to me, the water softener and water heater were also placed in there. So then there is a big cement room with the usual amenities PLUS a water heater and water softener. Just sitting there. Like it's normal. Like it's décor. Like it's attractive.
Let's talk about the shower stall. It is my theory that Alfred Hitchcock visited here and got his inspiration for "Psycho". After the set was built, Janet Leigh took one look at it and said, "Hell, no, Hitch! I'm never getting in there! That is TOO creepy! " It sat about 9 inches from the wall, because there was this weird, crooked and uneven ledge in the cement. Our cats loved to use it as their hideout when it was time for a vet visit because there was no way you could get to them back there. God only knows what else was hiding there. Well, God and the cats.
We've done redecorating many times before, but this was a renovation. We framed out and built the closet walls and installed doors to enclose the lovely water heater and softener. We installed and whitewashed brick panels and pine planks to build walls where before there was painted cement. We installed and stained a real ledge to be used as a shelf for storage and decorative items. New flooring. New old door that we found at the Habitat store and had to cut down to fit and frost the glass. Patti did all the tile herself. How about we start with a backsplash or something? No, no, let's do three tub/shower walls! Dive in at the deep end, apparently that's our motto. The only thing we hired out was plumbing in the tub, and after they left it leaked so bad and they wouldn't come back, so I learned how to plumb in a leak-free shower and tub faucet and drain.
Is this room perfect? No, but we're pretty proud of it. We are excited to show you some before and after pics. Hope you enjoy!

So it has been gogogo at Amazing Grace this week, and now the Marshall Garden Tour is this weekend. There are lots of people in town for the Tour, so Deb is ready for lots of traffic at the shop. If you've had your eye on anything I would strongly suggest that you make your way to the shop and get what you want, as many things have already been spoken for!
We know there's lots of people looking for something entertaining to do, so may we suggest a little bar hopping? Start here! All three bars (Papa Bar, Mama Bar, and Baby Bar!!) are at Amazing Grace in Marshall.

Ok, so remember how we used to post almost daily about what we were working on or had finished? (Insert crickets chirping here) Yeah, neither do I. But I will say that we have had an awful lot going on (still do!), but we have pictorial proof that we have been creating during this quiet time. (Quiet time, sure, go with that.) I will provide said pictures soon, but for now, we have UBER exciting news!!!!🎉💃🏼
One of our favorite shops, Amazing Grace, just moved from their location of about 17 years to a new address across the street in Marshall. Owner Deb Shubert (one of the kindest, most sensitive, grace-oozing, and creative women I know) invited us to join them in their new home!!!
We said no, thank you. (Again, cue crickets....)
NO WE DID NOT!
WE SAID "OMG! YES, PLEASE, OH PLEASE!!!!!!"!
The shop opened in its new location yesterday, and I sure hope all of you who live in or near to Marshall will stop in and check us out! Such cool stuff in that shop! We are humbled. Take a look at these photos, but please stop by!
