Great piece. Love that you set your project against a solid background this time, as it makes it easier for me to see and focus on the dresser, you, and the project. I tend to tour the room when there is a busy background. More a “me” issue. Curiosity rules my brain I think. lol Keep your great lessons coming. I am impressed with this product line. Thanks for sharing all the steps in your videos and for this edge blending technique.
Happy to say DB is available in the UK. I’m in Scotland but buy online from an English based company. Only started furniture painting this year. I’m addicted (at 70!). DB is definitely the best I’ve used. Can’t see me changing now. I only tried using it after watching your RUclips videos. So thanks, I love your natural personality.
Hi Brandy, I have been watching youtube chalk paint videos for several months now. There are many many out there. I just started my first piece for my home . I have to say I have learned more from you ,colors, blending and Awsome ,Classy designs that you come up with. Some out there don't even clean the pieces before painting and just want to mass produce . Thank you and Wish me luck . I'll be watching ya . T.
Way better not squiggly your amazing I’ll subscribe I’ve been wanting to distress white to my very huge hutch but I’m scared then I go to start and can’t remember my mind is dumb I had a brain surgery when all my kids were little stroked after. Hospitalized every other month falling breaking body parts and have to stay til they are stopped. 6 months ago they found a new tumor inoperable. You are so kind I’ll just have to watch and dream about it getting done lol
What was the base coat colour you put on this? It’s a beautiful piece. I love very pale pinks and I think I’m going to have to do something with that pink champagne colour. I just love it. Do you do the shading on the drawers and sides only or also on the base skirting and legs? I tried to find the finished dresser on Facebook but couldn’t.
I have blush pink, lilac, haint blue and fluff white. Which colors would you suggest I use to blend? I was also considering stenciling harlequin on the top, stripes on the drawers, or would that be too much? LOL
Hi Brandy! I just started using DBP at the end of the year, beginning of Fall this past year and JUST decided to watch some videos. That's how I roll though, do some then watch some videos to see what I can improve on. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! You said at the beginning that this was recorded live, so it's understandable you said hi to viewers and such...no biggie! Your technique is what I'm watching for! I did just watch an older video and am wondering when you switched to DB brushes? I haven't made the leap yet as I started doing this just to repurpose some furniture at home, but this may be something I end up doing long term and will need to invest.
Ive used several different brands and all react a bit differently, some blend easier than others. I like dixie belle because it has a nice open life to work the paint and i never pull up my base coat
@@SelahScrappingMemorables I can say - I recently used a Dixie Belle brand as a base color and was highlighting/blending with an off brand (more latexy, tho still considered chalk paint) brand - and you could DEFINITELY tell the difference in paint quality. The off brand beaded up with the water and would only "belnd" once it mixed in with enough of the Dixie Belle. So - you can blend w other paints, but I wouldn't use the low quality ones. Dixie Belle is very, very good for blending.
Please help! I'm new to using the Dixie Belle chalk paint. I'm currently working on my first piece and I'm finding that my paint has little dry paint chunks in it already. What can I do about keeping that from happening? Thanks!
I too have had this happen with brand new containers. It feels to me that I’m wasting my my money! I had to throw the many chunks away. Wasn’t at all happy 🥺
Your videos are very difficult to watch because you're so distracted by the camera and talking to ppl when you go live. I suggest you stop doing live videos and slow down...damn you talk so fast!
I love French provincial too, very pretty 😍💕

Thanks for all the videos! I wish I had watched this before I attempted my first blend. You make it look so easy Brandy.😊
French Provincial is my favorite and I absolutely adore this Brandy! Oh myyyyyy! This is just precious! That color is like eye candy.

Thank you! Putting together new looks is usually my favorite part

can you show how you would do the blending on the sides? Beautiful
Beautifully done
Love love your work but was wondering if you could do video using your technique with fushion paint ?
I use Dixie Belle products exclusively - they're my favorite!
I want to do my daughters' dressers and want to use a blackest, med gray and fluffy white, man I hope it comes out looking just a tiny bit like yours.
Is your brush wet or dry? I wish you would show us how much paint you load on your brush.. nice demonstration. Thanks!
Brandy, Thank you so much! You have taught me so much , you are so talented.

Do you have an after picture ! I'm trying to get a feel of the finish product !

Dixie belle just started offering brushed late last year. When they did, i switched over and have NEVER looked back
I love it!
I just coated my piece with Dixie Bill gator hide. How long should I wait before I put my television on top?
I know you use Dixie Bell paints, but do your blending techniques work with any chalk paint? Or is it only with DB?...Thank you!!!

Hi brandy if possible how to blend with physion cause so far I haven't meant anyone blen the way you do love love ❤️
Do you mean fusion mineral paint? Fusion is a completely different formula, not as friendly to water, so it is does not do as well for these looks
What if I have primer on the dresser? Do I have to remove it?
Please
Primer is made to go underneath paint
Please help! I'm new to using the Dixie Belle chalk paint. I'm currently working on my first piece and I'm finding that my paint has little dry paint chunks in it already. What can I do about keeping that from happening? Thanks!
Best thing you can do now would be to strain it, a sifter works great too
@@BrushedbyBrandy okay, thanks!
I too have had this happen with brand new containers. It feels to me that I’m wasting my my money! I had to throw the many chunks away. Wasn’t at all happy 🥺
