I can just tell that not only are you an amazing artist but that you’re the sweetest, kindest, and most loving Mom, Wife, and friend. You have a big heart and it comes through by the way you hold yourself, the way you speak to your viewers, and the sweet smile you always have in your videos.

I have a great husband like you do! 😉

I love that color too! OMG-you are hilarious. My sister is always in Facebook jail. I never believed her when she told me. Now I do! Have a great week!!
My goodness woman you are extremely talented. I can't stop watching your videos. I have never seen a bad piece you have done. Everything is just beautiful. I have so much furniture I want to paint. Thank you and your husband for making these tutorials. God bless.
Thanks Brandy. I tried another product that’s suppose to be smooth like silk and it couldn’t hold a candle to silk. I won’t waste my money again. Silk here I come🤗
Oh my gosh...you don't talk to much! This is a tutorial right? Thanks for sharing all the information about silk. I've wanted to use this on my kitchen cabinets. ❣
i know im asking randomly but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost the login password. I love any assistance you can offer me!
I love your videos! You and your husband are a riot, as much as I love the info you share, I love the back n forth between you two just as much! If there is a trick for the Elite Retailers to get brushes, I would love to know what it is. The lady who is our local Elite retailer has not been able to get brushes for close to 6 mos and she checks daily, it's sad times in Cola, SC. Alo glad you mentioned mixing the Silk paints together, it's something I've been wanting to try and now I know I can!! ps: for Sean (sp) at 24:40 "chicka chickaaaa"
I really enjoy this format with an off camera voice with an equally good personality and helpful questions interacting with Brandy. I never watch live because I need to increase the speed of most videos to 1.5 to 2.00, but I always watch after they’re done. These are really good and helpful. Thanks!
I love your videos, I always learn so much. I just bought my first silk paint, so thank you for all the input!! I love how you teach and the conversations between you and your husband.
I am Watching THIS video like I'm In school hahaha.... BKUz I Know I'm doing Something wrong ..so I'll watch this video maybe 5 times ...thank you for Everything and Your awesome personality...you're awesome 👍🤩😊
I know this was a year ago. I hope your journey has gone much better with that FB deal 😂. Thank you for the information about silk paint. I just bought Harbor to paint a wall unit and I am considering adding some decorative finishes. Do you suggest white wax or black? Your input would be appreciated.
You are correct, I no longer wok with this company or paint. Ou could pair with white for a more light and beachy feel or black would be more crisp and clean, either would work
Great tutorial on the silk paint, thank you 😊 I'm planning on painting a dark stained hutch and am wondering if I need to prep it before painting it white. What are your recommendations?
I love your videos. You were doing a live video yesterday and I was not able to finish it. You were talking about shipping and building a website such good information. Will you be saving the video because I would love to see the video again. Thank you
Hey Brandy...so I'm painting a side table with the silk line paint in Endless shore....Now I Literally follow the other tutorials step by step and There's Brush strokes😳....So on Another video where You DID use a Spritz of water ....and So I Scuff sanded down the brush marks after it dried overnight...and I DID spritz Just a Bit and That HELPED ALOT....So I'm confused...whereas Just a Spritz Helped alot with brush strokes...
From my experience i have to disagree with some of this. Ive been using the midnight blue and while its ok on drawers where there are maybe 3 swipes across its not great on the cupboard fronts. Im now on my 3rd time sanding and 4th attempt and im getting the same result. Drag lines. Certainly not 5 minutes workable as i just noticed a hair in the paint, lifted it off with my brush and its no longer workable and left yet again drag lines. Ive tried 3 different bruses (all synthetic). Im at the point of probably needing to just price my item down a bit because i cant see what i can do differently. I think also being a dark colour it shows up more. I pushed a drawer back in and the paint wore off already. This must be because i didnt use slick stick i only sanded my piece. I usually always sand only. Im also getting a white mark from my hands when i rub the front of the piece. Again probably because its dark. On the bits where it has gone well it is a nice finish but these other bits are really tricky. Its not too warm here either so im stumped.
Brandy, if the base of my project was painted in Silk and I wanted to apply a stencil in a Chalk Mineral Paint color I have then how would I seal that CMP since the Silk doesn't require a sealer/top coat? Thank you @brushedbybrandy Would I have to seal the entire project then? Just curious how to handle.
So I commented on a different video about blending with all in one enamel but I don’t think I can blend using that paint , any tips appreciated thank you love your inspiration
I've started painting today with silk it has gone streaky and patchy. It was very warm when I did it would that have caused it. I'm planning on light sand back and wait till it cools down. I'm in australia
Light use is recommended, it is more prone to scratching etc during that time. For faster return to use and more durability you can use one hour enamel from Wise Owl Paint, with a 90% cure time in just 4 hours www.wiseowlpaint.com/?aff=49
@@BrushedbyBrandy Ok thank you so much! I just got veneer and laminate confused. I’m just not sure about a couple decorative parts on this bed and dresser. I’ll just prime those spots to be safe.
I no longer use and do not recommend this paint, or any products from this company. It is also not a good choice for blending. For a blended finish, I like wise owl chalk synthesis paint www.wiseowlpaint.com/?aff=49

It is beautifully smooth

If you need to use BOSS because your piece is a bleeder...do you still scuff sand the layer of BOSS before you add your first coat of the silk paint?
Oh so happy been waiting thanks for telling us. Can’t wait to try it
You do not talk too much! You are teaching, how can you be silent and teach? I love your videos, and why are you in Facebook jail?

Can you use gator hide over silk mineral paint?
Great video!! Thank you!
Ok. You freaked me out. I thought it was Wednesday all day. 🤪
Hi Brandy. Does " Silk " paints work well on kitchen counter tops ?? Or should I use DIY ?? I'm painting on laminate counter tops
My frlist choice would be one hour enamel from Wise owl
bit.ly/3u25NuM
Great color!!!
Brandy, if the base of my project was painted in Silk and I wanted to apply a stencil in a Chalk Mineral Paint color I have then how would I seal that CMP since the Silk doesn't require a sealer/top coat? Thank you @brushedbybrandy Would I have to seal the entire project then? Just curious how to handle.
You can leave the chalk mineral paint unsealed if you are ok with the low matter sheen, otherwise I would seal the entire piece fir uniformity
So I commented on a different video about blending with all in one enamel but I don’t think I can blend using that paint , any tips appreciated thank you love your inspiration
Definitely don't want an all in one style paint, they'll all be a struggle, chalky style paints are much netter suited for it
What competitors lines are you referring to?
There is Heirloom and Farmhouse.
You can go back and forth with your brush without getting brush strokes?
what grit sandpaper did you use for sanding the first coat of paint on the side?
You have mentioned you have a video on choosing a paint color for a piece. I can't seem to find it.. any clues to finding it?
Do u know when the DBP mini and round brushes will be back in stock?
I’m wondering if it’d hold up and be durable for the base of a table with kids kicking and resting their feet on the bottom of the table
I've started painting today with silk it has gone streaky and patchy. It was very warm when I did it would that have caused it. I'm planning on light sand back and wait till it cools down. I'm in australia
Try a light list of water
When can Wood u bend or other embellishments be put on?
I’m confused about the 30 day cure time that I’ve heard. Does this mean you shouldn’t use say a kitchen table and chairs for 30 days?
Light use is recommended, it is more prone to scratching etc during that time. For faster return to use and more durability you can use one hour enamel from Wise Owl Paint, with a 90% cure time in just 4 hours
www.wiseowlpaint.com/?aff=49
Okay so I see NO water...So am I NOT Putting Enough paint on my brush? Is that why I'm seeing brush strokes
Can you use the Dixie Belle Dirt on top of other paint products, other than the Dixie Belle Silk?
You certainly can, it works with the chalk mineral paint, anything you can put wax on, it's super versatile
Ahhhh, haaa haaa! You must be really wild getting punished by that x-book site. Wild, wild...
What if some of your dresser is veneer? Would your prep be the same as the wood?
Veneer is real wood, a thin layer over a lesser grade wood, clean and scuff sand, prime if needed. If it's laminate you definitely need to prime
@@BrushedbyBrandy Ok thank you so much! I just got veneer and laminate confused. I’m just not sure about a couple decorative parts on this bed and dresser. I’ll just prime those spots to be safe.
Do you rinse the white lightning?
Mine sure didn’t come out silky smooth and I’ve been painting furniture for a while. I’ve tried everything and I’m also using DB brushes.
A mist of water helps
👋 from NC. 🥰
Am I off on time?
Can you blend this?
I no longer use and do not recommend this paint, or any products from this company. It is also not a good choice for blending. For a blended finish, I like wise owl chalk synthesis paint
www.wiseowlpaint.com/?aff=49
I’m nervous that I’m going to over work it and make brush strokes😥
It has a pretty long open time for all 8n one paint, you'll definitely feel it if it starting to set up
@@BrushedbyBrandy thank you! I’m going for it! Thanks for the tutorial!
I have been blocked, on FB, 3 times for 30 days each. Still on? LOL. 😂 😂 😂
