Hi Ashleigh, some of the Christmas fare for lunch/dinner includes Christmas cake, plum pudding, brandy custard sauce, cream and ice cream, apple cider, plum pudding brandy ice cream, shortbread for handmade gifts, gingerbread men and houses, rainbow forest cheesecake, and every kind of salad if not doing a roast ham, chicken, duck, or turkey with hot veggies. When my grandparents were alive, after church, in our Christmas best clothes, we would visit them, and the best dining room would be used (it was only used on special occasions, with the chandelier ablaze with beautiful twinkling lights, the table laid with the best silverware, best crockery, and glassware, and, of course, bonbons, also known as Christmas crackers). My grandmother would have hand-made the lace tablecloth (she was a lace maker), and the meal would be five different courses, including homemade soup. We would have a special drink like nonalcoholic apple cider for the kids and wine or beer for the adults, with ice on hand. Of course my grandmother made the Christmas pudding months in advance and drowned it in brandy or sherry with Australian silver shillings and bronze pennies cooked within. Christmas cake (fully decorated, of course, with reindeer, marzipan, and royal icing) was served with a pot of hot tea to drink at the end of the meal. Boxing Day was all about living outside and having salads with leftovers and seafood and, of course, more Christmas cake or, for dessert, Victoria sponge with preserved plums and apricots from their tree and eggs from their chooks. After lunch we would play cricket in the backyard with my grandfather being the umpire. If it got too hot, we would watch the repeat of Carols by Candlelight on the telly in the afternoon and have a piece of Christmas cake with another pot of tea. Then it was my job with my grandmother to clean the silver and put it all away. At the end of the day, my grandfather would look up some poached eggs, juice some lemons, oranges, and grapefruit for a drink before bed, and of course dose us up with molasses. Best memories ever! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Are you promoting witchcraft? a voodoo doll?

I'm ready to go....thank you for you help!

Your enthusiasm is contagious, love watching your videos!

Love your tree

Keep bringing us quality content!

Good grief, I couldn't watch this with the awful music background.

Is it also stainable after the wood filler?

I just bought sample bundles of milk paint, metallics and mica powders. I'm not sure many will want to buy furniture that looks like it needs a paint job. I'm going to try it on something small first and see how it goes. Is there a market for this type of furniture? I basically bought the products to do venetian plaster stencil mural art of my wall.

Love this idea!

What is the spray.?

Great tips!!! So helpful! Thank you!!!

That’s beautiful!

That was very helpful. Thank you.

What size was the stencil?

Link to video?

um

THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

Wax alone wont protect from scratches....Im going to have to add Gator Hide over both my waxed display cases.

I dunno what kind of acrylics she's used but I've ingested artist acrylic (by accident) and nothing happened. I wonder if she's using some weird hybrid. I also don't know what kind of chalk paint she's using but the kind I have used (rustoleum chalked) will come off with a fingernail unless you top coat it.

So you can’t use to change a dark wood to lighter?

The best tip I got, was that I can "forget" about this type off upgrade, as it will be placed over old vinyl. Paint it will be. ;)

Do you really need such a long intro? I almost skipped to the next video because that is SO annoying

It looks amazing, such a transformation. A little tip if you ever stencil again…always do the first coat in the same colour as the floor that way when you put the top colour on it won’t bleed through the stencil and you’ll have crisp lines.

What is the name of the last brush you recommended

Women like her...just annoying.

The intro is too long.

Do the wallpaper ruins the cabinets i mean after removing it

There's no such word as 'heighth' :)

Also using a snap off blade is better, it keeps a very sharp blade each time you cut. Thanks for this!

That fuzzy part of the wallpaper is a backing of the wallpaper. Just saying. Wallpaper unless it’s a vinyl paper Always has a backing. So it’s like taking two layers of paper off . Also it’s way easier to remove old wallpaper, with a garden sprayer, and diff. Or just warm water. Spraying it and letting it soak in saves a ton of time. Then you can remove the old paste as well. But I’m watching because I don’t install peel and stick in my daily wallpaper job. But I have had to do several jobs lately with this type. I could scream. But I’ll glad you’re trying to show people how to do this. Thank you! 🙏

Thank you 👌very helpful for me since It’s my first time to put wallpaper 😎

Thank you for this, I'm attempting my first wall paper application and so worried i'll screw it up. So this was very helpful especially the leveler with the string! I bought beautiful banana leaf tropical print and can't wait to turn my kitchen into a tropical vibe!

I would love to try Amy Howard products but just can't afford to purchase them at the moment. Milk paint gives a gorgeous finish, however, I did hear you say it's a finish that can't be achieved with Chalk Paint. That's definitely not the case, I do Old World finishes primarily on my pieces and you can absolutely obtain texture, cracks and that authentic aged look. It's simply a matter of knowing how. You don't even have to (though sometimes it's fun and creates an amazing result) to purchase texture mediums or crackle mediums to be able to get that effect. It can all be done with the paint alone, depending on your brand and application. Annie Sloan, DIY, APC, Daydream, and Nordic Chic all work well for this. That said, I'd still love to play around with AH products if I ever get the chance. Great tutorial, and thank you for sharing.

Where is the LONG version of this video?

Huh? I use and clean acrylics with water, baby

Please please turn the music off or make it quieter.

Just playing with some milk paint today. I was making the cracked gesso way to thin, I guess. Mine wasn't cracking at all. I've watched several of her video's (Amy's) and I like the thicker. I'll also have to try the mind your bee's wax, I have the antiquing one and sometimes it makes it darker than I want. Glad to see I can just paint over a wood piece without removing the finish. I thought we had to do that first. Looking forward to more videos.

Beautiful! Thank you

Great live!

Hi! Just found you. Could you tell me what’s in your gel art ink please? Lovely table scape btw.

excellent presentation. Exactly what I needed to finish my door. Thanks!

You are the perfect instructor I subscribed !

Oh yeah, forgot to say this looks amaaaazing! 😍😍😍

Thank you so much for making a video of this! I've been searching everywhere and finally found the link through Pinterest. Ah, Pinterest, you have everything! Hahaha! 😄 So, we had a Shar Pei when I was younger who was really neurotic. I guess he accidentally locked himself in my room while we were all gone and ate a hole through my door! Like, a BIG one! No idea how he accomplished that in a period of a few hours, but he did! Granted, it wasn't a solid wood door, but still... there was little evidence other than the hole so eat definitely straight up ATE it!😨😱🤢🤣

Totally wrong unfortunately.. All pigmented water based paints are either latex or emulsions (meaning solids or oil dispersed in water). Regardless of that, paints labeled as "Latex" are for interior use, and Acrylics are for exterior use. There is no particular reason for this. It's just something that has stuck. Chalk paints can be either Latex or Acrylic. Chalk is added to the paint making it easy to sand.

Great tutorial. So glad I found you on RUclips.

What do you clean kitchen cabinets with before using chalk paint? I just painted several items with Annie Sloan paint. They came out great! So I moved on to my kitchen table today and plan on doing kitchen cabinets next. The kitchen table had areas that bled through some brown spots. I thoroughly scrubbed with dawn and then afterwards with Mrs. Meyers all purpose spray. It worked well on my other items, but I"m guessing it is because it is the kitchen and stuff I couldn't see deeper in the wood. Don't know...But now super nervous to do the cabinets because unlike the table, I won't distress them or do a stain/glaze. I want them just fresh paint look.
