This was my first video viewing, and I was having an anxiety attack watching color to color. Wow, I am so impressed since my heart has calmed. I am hooked.
I love watching "trust the process" paint finishes. It's like watching a flower bloom in slow motion. This turned out beautiful. Not long ago I began researching ceruse finishes and was super excited when you started doing them. It's such a cool technique.
I think you achieved what you set out to do my lovely which was to bring it to life and for everyone to see the beauty in the details ....gorgeous job xxxx
Thank you so much, I know people ask me a lot how I do it but I think it is just something that over time I have become to know, with lots of practice and application :)
I will have to look into it!! The surf prep has helped a lot but believe it or not riding a bike aggravates it because of my position on the handle bars, random I know!
@@BellaRenovare I didn’t even know I had it, went to hand doctor for injured finger and mentioned how my hands were numb a lot! My doctor is semi-retired and has done over 3000 of these surgeries so I think that’s why it was so easy. He went in at the crease right where my hand and wrist meet and you can’t even see the scar. And also, I want to mention, I love your work and style. I’ve been so inspired by you to not be afraid to go bold with color. And even more so, thank you for your service as a military family. ❤️
Absolutely one of the BEST videos I've seen. Thank you so much for an amazing and easy to follow video. Not to mention, you got straight to the point without half the video being rambling about pointless crap like 99% of the videos out there. OMG. Beautiful work.
When you started...I thought 'O my Lord, what is she doing!?!? Now I absolutely LOVE it!! So original and creative!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks for showing that!! I am inspired 😍
I didn't know where you were going with the lime green and then the purple. I thought it was going to be awful. Boy was I wrong. Turned out beautiful. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
I love when you say "trust in the process" because it means something incredible is going to happen. You never let me down so I always trust you and the process. Another work of art was the result here. I know some may not like the bright colors😎 or even like painting over the wood😱. Oh well. You have to do what makes your customer happy and here you were the customer. I think it's beautifully done. Thanks for sharing and showing us this technique. You rock!
I thought at first and in the middle I'm not so sure about this ... I thought I'm going to hate it, but I love it. I don't think very many people would be able to take all the colors that seem way out there and think of them being good together. I probably would have picked darker colors of what you did trying to achieve this and it would turn out too dark. I don't have the sight to see how it would look, but I'm good at watching RUclips and copying others. Thank you for teaching me and everyone else ❤
I love painting furniture and giving it a new life! I feel bad you have to keep explaining to people it's a piece you are keeping. Even if you weren't, there are millions of us who loved painted pieces!
When you pulled out the colors, I was thinking it wasn’t really my taste. BUT to see the results, it’s so beautiful. I’d totally have this in my home. You are such a talent. Love your videos!
So I have a very classic taste in furniture and I typically prefer restoring antiques to their original state over modernization but I actually really like this! I think it could look really fun in a beach bungalow type home.
Hi from South Africa Crys Dawna. This is by far the most beautiful piece that you have produced. I have saved it and I shall try it when I find the right piece. Thank you for sharing your artistry and work.
Your artistry is unmatched in this industry. Thank you for sharing so much of your process, I'm truly inspired to push the limits of my creativity every time I watch you work 🥰 As a faux finisher by trade, I always say that faux looks terrible right up until the moment it doesn't. 😎 Blend, blend, blend! Stunning!
You are amazing, thank you so so much!! It’s soooo true faux finishes are NOT for the faint of heart lol 😂 right up until that last brush hits the surface it’s sketchy lol 😂 thank you so so sooo much ❤️❤️❤️
I have collected antiques for years, my initial instinct was to keep them as is. UNTIL I started watching your channel. This piece is just amazing, I love the colors, and you are a master at blending and vision. I love your choices, it's inspired me to go for an eclectic look in my victorian home vs traditionally old furniture in an old house. I am SO ready to add some color into my life, and let me tell you, the furniture you paint would really take victorian wallpaper to the next level and make the furniture pop against the wallpaper. LOVE it. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Love your videos..you are such a talent, and so adventurious. Will have to say, my initial viewing was curiosity only. But now am a follower.I'm 82 years old, have a fondness for early attic decor, and would never have painted anything that could have been saved otherwise. Have done much stripping of paint and bringing back to origional in my day. But I have to say, I may be a convert. I absolutely love your work, and if I had room, would love to have a statement piece! Paint on sweetie! Color is great!
Thank you so much Peggy. I will tell you a few things that I think set me apart from others. I am a woodworker so I appreciate the furniture. I use color theory and art principles on my pieces so I treat each piece like it is my canvas. I always want to do justice to the furniture and create something that is art. I know it may seem a little dramatic but I never want to just paint something to slap paint on it you know??? Thank you so much for your kindness!!
I was cringing at the thought of painting this lovely piece, but you won me over with the white waxed top. LOVE the colors. And (always) the gold gilding. Stunning results.
Yeah you are looking great you are definitely stepping into your light artistically spiritual and personal keep on keeping on Crys' Dawna love from South Ayrshire Scotland it's amazing to watch you grow and transform xxx
I could totally see this on board of a traveling gypsy wagon! I don’t know why sometimes I am not a fan of this technique and other times ( like this!) I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Maybe it’s the colors that are used is what makes it for me. I know one thing, when you get moved to Maine and have your place all put together, I hope you will do a video tour for us! Love ya girl!
So weird! I'm picking up a parquet topped console table tomorrow and had no idea what to do with it creatively! Serendipity ☺ I name this piece Venus emerging from the sea...I immediately saw the painting in my head when I saw the final shots of the completed piece. Mastery my friend..pure mastery.
I absolutely love this piece! It amazes me how you can look at a piece and have such a vision of color and not just color happiness! It’s such a happy piece. I know you were going to love it in your new home when you move. You just amaze me every time I see your videos.
You kept saying trust the process and I wasn’t but you finally won me over at the end. Granted not my cup of tea however my daughter would love it. It’s beautiful
That came out stunning!! I don't usually do bright colors but I loved that lime green once it dried, and once you blended and applied all the colors and black wax it really gave it so much depth, along with the touches of gold. You are a real artist and do amazing work!!
Thank you so much Dee!! You are correct I have almost 50 pounds since the start of 2021 :) I have been eating really healthily and making sure I set aside time 5-6 days a week to workout someway somehow :)
Aside from how awesome this piece is (I love it when you do these colorful creations!), you are looking so toned and trim these days! Whatever you're doing, your efforts are really paying off. Way to go pal!
Thank you so much! I have been really eating healthy and hit the gym, AKA my basement lol 😂 I hit a point where I was like "what are you doing Crysdawna?!?!?!" Then the rest way history, beach body 2022 here I come lol
Another awesome piece Crys'Dawna!! You are so confident with the bold colors and everytime they come together flawlessly. One day I will have the guts to try color! 🤣🤣 I own the paint I just need to get it out of the jar. Thank you for all that you do it is very much appreciated. Maybe when your in Maine I will take a road trip from NY and do a color boot camp! LOL! Have a great weekend!
What an exciting piece to have in your house! Love this. Unfortunately, I don’t live around people who appreciate color in their homes. Boring. But not in my space, this would fit right in.🤗👍🏻
I love the colors and how the sanding brought the lime green back up! The ceruse finish on the top along with the beautiful colors below is a fantastic contrast. I learned a lot from this piece and I hope you enjoy it for a long time. Thank you for continuing to share your talent with us. Well done!
I am loving this piece, your purple mix colour is amazing. I have been given a pine dresser and was wondering if I could do the cerus top on it ? I am always excited when you do a new video, thanks for all your hard work 🙏
I got a coffee table & two end tables (a set) & have been wanting to paint them...guess I was holding out..for this! I absolutely love it!❤️😊❤️. Thank you so much!
I didn't think I was going to like the texture you added, but wow, I love everything about how this piece turned out.
Love the colors! All my favorites. I usually play it safe, but this is me on the inside ha
This was my first video viewing, and I was having an anxiety attack watching color to color. Wow, I am so impressed since my heart has calmed. I am hooked.
WONDERFUL CONGRATULATION FOR YOU TALENT THANKS I LIKED
This is why I Love Dixie Belle!!!
I love that I'm not the only one that gets paint everywhere, like my cellphone.
Something out of the Mad Hatter's drawing room, love it.

Watched it AGAIN! Might be my favorite
Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
Your understanding of colour is amazing!!
Thank you so much, I know people ask me a lot how I do it but I think it is just something that over time I have become to know, with lots of practice and application :)
Loving the black wax almost making the colors jewel tones. Gorgeous!
Thank you so much friend ❤️❤️❤️
This piece is a "SHOW STOPPER"!!! The ones you do for yourself, are always special. Thanks so much for sharing.
Definitely, my cup of tea. Your creativity is so inspiring. TFS 🌷
Get carpel tunnel release surgery, it’s so easy and the relief is so worth it. I had both hands done 2 weeks apart and I’m so glad I did.
I will have to look into it!! The surf prep has helped a lot but believe it or not riding a bike aggravates it because of my position on the handle bars, random I know!

@@SR-qg7hw thank you so much for your kind words. Also I do really need to look into the surgery ❤️❤️
Absolutely stunning! I love it! You’re a woman after my own heart…I love bold colors as well. 💖💞
I cannot wait for you to move back to the states and do a tour of your home! I love all you do. Thanks for never disappointing!
So satisfying watching you scoop with your “ famous plastic scooper” !!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My heart is singing!! I must try something like this! Thank you so much for inspiring us ❤❤
Absolutely one of the BEST videos I've seen. Thank you so much for an amazing and easy to follow video. Not to mention, you got straight to the point without half the video being rambling about pointless crap like 99% of the videos out there. OMG. Beautiful work.
When you started...I thought 'O my Lord, what is she doing!?!? Now I absolutely LOVE it!! So original and creative!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks for showing that!! I am inspired 😍
I love it when the wax goes on and the colours pop, gorgeous x
Well it is definitely my cup of tea! WOW! I intend to do this on something…anything…..
Yay!!
I didn't know where you were going with the lime green and then the purple. I thought it was going to be awful. Boy was I wrong. Turned out beautiful. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
Wow!!! I would be SO happy to have that my house. No question it is gem!!
You have this fairytale style!!! Beautiful!! ❤️

Once again you have created something beautiful.
I love how confident you are in your choices. You truly are a master of your craft ❤
Thank you so much! That really means so so much :)
Thus is absolutely beautiful I love it
@@BellaRenovare 0 0ⁿ0. ⁿ.
Watching you scrape that first coat of finish off is so satisfying
I am not fed up with watching you !!!! ❤️
YAY!! You are awesome, thank you so much :)
My Crys’Dawna,
I Love It!!! I Love the Colors and the Depth they give to this Beautiful Piece of Art!!! Great Job!!!
All My Love,
Marley
Hi Crys’Dawna. Yes, it looks like an old rustic piece of furniture, and love the gold on it. Well done.👍🥰
This is PURE genius!! Congratulations!! 🕊
I love all the colorful furniture you paint! Just Awesome!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Very very brave and cool! Talent plus craftsmanship =😎
OMG - that‘s so incredibly beautiful - I‘m completely in love with it! Thanks so much for sharing - that really inspired me!!! 😃🥰🫶
Fantastic, I love your visions for your pieces, I wish I had that gift.
That's the most beautiful finish I've ever seen!!
The white waxed top threw me off with the peacock finished body. I was so totally not expecting that! Awesome!
i would absolutely love to do this on a french style dresser! i sure hope it looks as beautiful as your piece.
Wow! That is amazing. Thanks for the explaining along the way. Fabulous!
When you pulled out the colors, I was thinking it wasn’t really my taste. BUT to see the results, it’s so beautiful. I’d totally have this in my home. You are such a talent. Love your videos!
I love that green you made.
Great pièce for your home in the USA.
