    This just showed up in my feed and I LOVE it! Bless your heart with that transfer! But it turned out beautiful! Great choice on the color on the top and dry brushing the details to match that color in the transfer. This is one of the prettiest French Provincial makeovers I’ve seen.😊💜

    Seriously appreciate the fact that you took the time to explain each step in detail and not just assume that we know how to do it already, because we don't. I think you would be an excellent teacher/educator. You have inspired me (not much inspires me these days) and given me a wee bit of confidence to think that perhaps I could do this. I'm saving this video to refer back to during the process. Awesome video. Look forward to watching more and learning from you.

Ugh.

    Looks nice. Love the transfer. I have seen a few people score the raw wood then they use the quick wood and it helps to get it stick. I have also a few put some staples or pins so they protrude a bit and then the quick wood grabs on better.

I giggled listening to you talk about white paint and wood bleeding because I went through the issue before and had to learn from it! I’ve done a few pieces around my home and for friends. I’ve been encouraged enough to start selling. So you officially have a new subscriber, because you do great work and share your bumps and bruises along the way. I’m going to need some tips! Keep up the great work and positive energy

    We had a terrible time with transfers while decorating our daughters craft room. Some went right on but the sunflowers were almost impossible to get off of the protective film - and of course she loves sunflowers so we had a lot of aggravating hours.

    I love this piece! You did a beautiful job!! I've done furniture "refinishing" for many years and have found that when I have a large repair like you did, I put some small (often tiny) finishing nails in place sticking out a bit. When you make the repair, the medium has something to stick to besides a smooth surface. To make it easier to put the nails in I hold them with needle nose pliers...it's far less frustrating. Thank you for sharing your projects!

  • @gottathinkupanewone
    @gottathinkupanewone Год назад

    I did this with a couple of old fake French Prov dressers. I like the shape of the furniture, and they were both still sturdy and serviceable -- but the years had not been kind to the finish. It was still sort of white in some places, while in others, it was yellowed FAR beyond anything that could legitimately be called either cream or ivory. It just looked god-awful. But I needed the dresser storage, so I painted them. They are not fine antiques, so paint doesn't take anything away from their value -- and, in fact, may actually help maintain whatever financial value they still have. I did some gilding, and some stenciling, and although they are not identical, they do look good together and both look very nice. I also painted and stenciled an old headboard to match. I had found it on the curb during "large household item pick-up" season, and it matched nothing until I painted and stenciled it. Now, I have a bedroom suite of semi-matched furniture. As long as you're not ruining good wood with paint, paint to your heart's content. Done correctly, the results can be quite wonderful.

    shellac is my favorite it blocks tanins and blocks odors. It's easy to find in any hardware store. If I do white furniture my first coat is light grey, then I do white.
