Hi oh my what an incredible job you have done on this little dresser it is simply gorgeous you are such an amazing woman thank you so very much for sharing all of your creations with us!!!God Bless you and yours!!!❤️❤️❤️
Oh my, first I'm so happy you dry brushed the top and then going over the stencil too.....wow, wow, wow. The dresser is just so beautiful; who wouldn't want a mermaid. She's so beautiful and this piece is marvelous.
I watched you do it and still can't believe how seamlessly you blended the paper and paint! You're a true artist Taryn 😍 And the details like the top, shimmer, and hand painting bring everything together. Beautiful job my friend!
You have such an amazing way to make something look so elegant and beautiful ❤ You are a true artist and whoever buys this piece is very lucky because it’s stunning!!!
This turned out to be an absolute masterpiece!!! I am so in all of the vision that you continue to have for each and every piece. This peace is truly alive and invokes such an image in my mind. It is as of it is telling a story. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent! MASTERPIECE...truly!
Love it so much Taryn! It is so beautiful and special! I love to see you get excited about one of your pieces! I appreciate your artistic approach on every piece. Thanks for sharing your hard work! Your son is adorable!
You have such fantastic ideas. I have never heard about the finger method of removing wrinkles before. I always love watching you blend colours. The way you blend into the paper is wonderful. You are not sure where the paper ends. Once more a beautiful piece.!!!
Excellent dresser, Taryn! I love that paper. Thanks for doing the close-up blend. I was able to see what you do on the edges of the decoupage. I was hoping you would bring out the glazing dust. It’s perfect. The pulls are perfect. The wash on the top is perfect. I love everything about this.🌸
It's incredible! Wow, I love the way it looks after you went over the raised stencil by hand (definitely want to try this one). Beautiful, beautiful. The decoupage reminds me of a John Waterhouse, a favorite.
Hi Taryn…I LOVE to see how excited you get on certain pieces!! You can hear your excitement as the piece comes together ….and that is passion! What a wonderful thing to witness….you are a true artist and I hope you celebrate that my friend. Great video…and tutorial….the piece is amazing, gorgeous and a piece of art🌟 So happy for you🤩 thank you for sharing your amazing skills and talent😊kim
Oh my goodness I can’t believe how this turned out! I was having fits when I saw you putting on the textured paint and just holding the stencil. I would have such a mess over everything but somehow you made this work. Thanks for sharing.
Haha! Yes, sometimes even I think things are getting out of hand, thankfully they come together in the end. I like to say- “trust the process” so I don’t panic halfway through a project 😂 Thanks for sticking this one out with me, Joan!
That turned out gorgeous!! I always learn from you and I’m so intrigued with the way you made the edges of the decoupage paper disappear. Love the hardware and the bling. Really nice job!!
I Just love love love everything about this Piece ...and I Swear With Older pieces The Piece almost dictates what the piece wants done to it ..and this Mermaid paper Seriously was so fitting for this ole gal ..Just Brought Such a Beautiful Old world Elegant Back in the Old day High-end Moody Romantic vibe...the texture and the Colors mystically popping through here and there and the Slight shimmer Ethereal vibe....Stunning ...Just a Beauty ..and you Know I Love me some Decoupage...You're amazing my dear friend 🥰❣️❣️👍
@@elegantupgrades so I'm "wanted" to paint this lowboy 1902 Chiffonier a white princess look BUT No matter How many coats of primer/Shellac etc I Applied And I Even Tried Decoupage and It Still Had Horrible bleed through...So Now I Threw in the towel and it's going to be a Black And Frilly Gold princess Chiffonier with Some form of Transfers Or paper ..I swear the Older the Piece the More stubborn They can be...😂😂😂😂❣️👍
Wow that is spectacular looking!! I can't believe how nice you have blended the paint around the paper! So impressed that I have subscribed!! Can't wait to check out more of your content!
If I didn't know better I would have thought you had free handed that mermaid, but I watched the vid so I now know how to make a decoupaged application look like the real deal!!😉
You are always an inspiration to me. Just love how this piece turned out. How detail minded you are, never happy until you feel that everything is just right. Just WOW. But how about also listing the stencil you used!!! It is one I'd like to get a hold of, so please post it if you can.
I LOVE this piece! (who am I kidding - I love ALL your pieces!) but I am so excited - I am about to stencil the side of my wall unit but I was hesitating about raised looking too much - now I can just add baking soda & raise it a tad - perfect! Thank you for always being my inspiration ❤❤ I am always in awe of your blending - I am working on mine with small bits & bobs to practice & getting better at it all the time.
Oh you just made my day!!! Thank you so much for even taking the time to watch my videos, let alone leave such a lovely comment. I’m glad you are finding useful ideas here. And yes, that’s what I love about all of this, we just keep getting better the more we do it. And it’s fun! BONUS!
I have learned so much about how to blend the pictures with the décolletage I just hope that I can remember what you have done you are truly a artist I know that I am not working with that kind of talented but I do hope to try!!!!!! Margo ❤
I’m so glad you are learning, Margo! We all start somewhere- my first was nothing like my last. I have no more talent than anyone else, just a bit more practice.
When decoupaging a very straight, square piece of paper, try wetting the edges with plain water and gently tearing them off. The slightly ragged edge will blend much more easily.
The more I see a project like this with art and raised stencil, the more I like it. Your piece was more subtle than it may seem at first whrn yoyu see all the work you put into it. The oh no times turnedout really well done. Over all, I whould think this old dresser will become something to pass down to the next generation to be cherished. 10 out of 10.
@@elegantupgrades Look at it this way, whoever buys it, it will be because they love it. If they love it, they will make sure someone, (if not a family mamber), who loves it equally will get it. They in turn will carry that idea on etc. Nice thought eh?
@@elegantupgrades I have been sick since July 11. COVID and pneumonia and small stroke. 51days in hospital and now 6 weeks in rehab. Home soon I hope.I had to catch up on your channel. Missed you and your painting.
Thank you, Vicki! I sell my pieces any and everywhere. I can’t don’t give out pricing because it’s so different based on location. What’s one price in one state is $300 more in another. I do recommend just looking up local markets. However- Etsy is a great place to research and it doesn’t have to be local and you can charge quite a bit higher on there. You do have to account for shipping and that can be a bit daunting. All that said- here is my Etsy listing. But I would take it with a grain of salt- offering pricing info makes me quite nervous. etsy.me/3E8PQIb
WOW! 🤯 That's stunning! You have an incredible amount of talent!! Thanks for sharing! How much do you charge for one of your pieces like this one? I'm just curious. Whatever it is, I'm certain it's more than worth it! 🫶🏻
Thank you so much, Barbie! I appreciate that. I don’t give out local pricing as it’s far too subjective. But I think I have it listed for $1,200 on Etsy.
OMGosh, that is amazing! Truly envious of your talent….all of it, but your vision is sparkling good golly that’s beautiful.
You are too kind! Thank you! And don’t be envious at all, I just play around with stuff until it works out.
Hi oh my what an incredible job you have done on this little dresser it is simply gorgeous you are such an amazing woman thank you so very much for sharing all of your creations with us!!!God Bless you and yours!!!❤️❤️❤️
Nellie!! Thank you so much for your kind words! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate them 🥰
I'll tell you what if anyone deserves them it's you you are such an inspiration to me!!!God Bless ❤️
Oh my, first I'm so happy you dry brushed the top and then going over the stencil too.....wow, wow, wow. The dresser is just so beautiful; who wouldn't want a mermaid. She's so beautiful and this piece is marvelous.
Thank you so much, Barbara! I agree, it needed the extra steps. I just don’t think it would have felt finished otherwise.
Very beautiful!
Thank you, Zoe!
Dark and moody with sparkles love it. And who wouldn't love the little mermaid. And that hard ware so pretty. 😗💜 chefs kiss.
Oh, Nichele! I can’t tell you how much you made my day with the “chef’s kiss”. Thank you! 😂
Gorgeous as usual!!!!!!
Thank you very much, Ana!
Love it ! You are truly an Artist!! Your talent is just beyond…
Thank you so much, Tamny 🥰 You are always so incredibly kind.
This was really trashed and you turned it into piece of art. I'm always amazed how you can turn these into such nice centerpieces.
Thank you so much, Richard! It was a fun one!
I watched you do it and still can't believe how seamlessly you blended the paper and paint! You're a true artist Taryn 😍 And the details like the top, shimmer, and hand painting bring everything together. Beautiful job my friend!
Oh you are too kind, Jenn 🥰 I love doing the large decoupage because I feel like most of the work has been done for me 😂
You have such an amazing way to make something look so elegant and beautiful ❤ You are a true artist and whoever buys this piece is very lucky because it’s stunning!!!
Aw shucks, Angie 🥰 Thank you so much!

Wow, Christine! Thank you so very much for your kind words! Thank you for taking the time to watch my creations.
This piece is my new favorite! (Before it was the Spring Fling dresser.) Absolutely wonderful! Thanks, Taryn.
Oh that’s so fun, Moranda! I love that they are such different finishes and they swapped favorites.
You did an excellent job on this dresser. As you are a great furniture artist 🎨🖌️
Thank you so much, Lorraine!
So glad your assistant is there to keep you in check…🤓..he’s adorbs! Adding the shimmering swirls is the bomb!❤️❤️❤️💖
Oh yes, he’s quiet the foreman 😂 Thank you, Glenda!
Love it so much Taryn! It is so beautiful and special! I love to see you get excited about one of your pieces! I appreciate your artistic approach on every piece. Thanks for sharing your hard work! Your son is adorable!
Oh thank you, Nancy!!! I was so excited about this one! And yeah, I think he’s pretty cute 🥰
Great job! Glad you showed closeups at the end, you couldn’t see how spectacular the finish is. Always surprised at the end.
Thank you, Kim! Yeah, there was just so much to it and it was really hard to see on the full shots. I’m glad you liked the close ups.
As usual you worked your 🎩 🪄 Love that you kept the alligator texture and bleed through. Great from start to finish❣️
Thank you, LaVonne! Yeah, sometimes it’s easier to work with them instead of fighting against them.
That is gorgeous!!!!! Love that you highlighted the stencils, perfect!
Thank you so much, Gail! I think it paid off.
You put a lot of love in that piece of furniture and it shows!!!
I’m so glad it shows, Debbie 🥰 Thank you!
You have such fantastic ideas. I have never heard about the finger method of removing wrinkles before. I always love watching you blend colours. The way you blend into the paper is wonderful. You are not sure where the paper ends. Once more a beautiful piece.!!!
Thank you so much, Deborah! Yeah, I almost never break out the actual tools for decoupage, fingers are so conveniently attached to me 😂
Andersonville, Tennessee here. You make everything look so easy. And when I try it, it is a mess--lol! Love watching you transform these pieces! 💕
Haha! Oh Tracey- I cut out the sections of film where I’m throwing fits. Just keep that in mind 😂
Excellent dresser, Taryn! I love that paper. Thanks for doing the close-up blend. I was able to see what you do on the edges of the decoupage. I was hoping you would bring out the glazing dust. It’s perfect. The pulls are perfect. The wash on the top is perfect. I love everything about this.🌸
Thank you, Deborah! This one was so much fun! I do need to get better at doing the close ups. It’s one of the things I forget while I’m working.
So so talented! When you started putting on all the different colors I thought oh my what is she doing and the voila a masterpiece
Haha! Thank you, Joanna. Yeah, I like to say “trust the process” because a lot of the the time it looks terrible before it doesn’t 😂
I am in absolute awe of your talent!!!!
That’s so kind, Jennifer 🥰
Amazing! What a beautiful piece. Love it!
This is lovely. The stenciling definitely adds to the look.
Thank you very much!
I love this! I have a piece that I would love to do this on! Thanks for sharing the wax technique, I’ll definitely be using it!
Thank you, Lee Ann! You’ll have to let me know how your piece turns out!

Thank you, Julie!
It's incredible! Wow, I love the way it looks after you went over the raised stencil by hand (definitely want to try this one). Beautiful, beautiful. The decoupage reminds me of a John Waterhouse, a favorite.

When decoupaging a very straight, square piece of paper, try wetting the edges with plain water and gently tearing them off. The slightly ragged edge will blend much more easily.
It's beautiful. BOHO grunge glam.
Oooo- I like that! Boho grunge glam! Thanks, Shawn.

Thank you, Caroline!

Oops. I almost forgot to 👍!
You’re the best, Leslie!
Brash. Not neat. The appliqués could have been applied after the mixed paint. Could you ever wash this?
I’m sorry, Maryland. I’m not sure what you mean. I don’t have any appliqués on this dresser.
😳😍😍😍
WOW! 🤯 That's stunning! You have an incredible amount of talent!! Thanks for sharing! How much do you charge for one of your pieces like this one? I'm just curious. Whatever it is, I'm certain it's more than worth it! 🫶🏻
