    Great transformation!!! I was with you on trying to decide what stain to use. I did like it both ways, but in the end I think the darker stain was definitely the right choice! Awesome job girl!!

    This was amazing. I love the color. The top was hard to choose. I initially liked the light, but the dark was pretty, too and I am so glad you painted the hardware. My favorite part was when you sanded the top. It was so satisfying to watch and the reveal of that pretty wood... so amazing. Thank you

    Very nice. I redid an old desk similar to this one this past spring. It was a garage sale desk I bought for my son about 30 years ago. I painted it dark green then with a bit of checkerboard stencilling, and this spring I painted it white with pink drawers of various shades and new handles for my granddaughter. She loves it.

  • @Not-thatKaren
    @Not-thatKaren 3 года назад

    I do like this shade of blue! I too thought the light white wash would be pretty but the stain you chose was perfect. The blue wasn’t too dark so you still had enough contrast to not make the piece so ‘heavy.

    @salvagedbykscott 4 года назад +2

    Such a great flip! Love your colour choices.
    Something I’ve learned from my own spraying is that if you’re watering down your paint that much make sure you adjust the flow valve on the back of your gun. It will help you use way less paint. 😉

    • @DesertDIY
      @DesertDIY  4 года назад

      Good point. Its a delicate balance between enough air to push out the clay paint evenly but not too much

    That’s sweet! What a fun piece!! And YES...I have always painted my pieces upside down first. A trick I learned by trial & error. It’s truly the best way to make sure you get all of it covered. I’ve used DIY Chalk paint several times. It’s great except, yes, on the expensive side unfortunately! I’ve been using Rustoleum Chalk Paint. It works really well. I also thin it down slightly before I paint with it. ❤️ MOODY BLUE...WINNER!!

    • @DesertDIY
      @DesertDIY  4 года назад +2

      I LOVE rustoleum chalk paint. I wish they had more color variety but we can always mix in some latex colors to make custom colors. Thank you so much for watching. Im glad you liked how it turned out

    I love your painting projects and admire your generosity.
    One small suggestion, and please don’t think it’s a criticism, but Zeb, from Jamie Ray Vintage, has some great tutorials giving the ratios of paint to water when using this brand with a sprayer.
    I’ve held off using this product because of the expense. I’ve used several different products as I’m still learning. I appreciate you taking the time to share your wonderful videos and your tips and techniques.

    • @DesertDIY
      @DesertDIY  4 года назад

      Thank you Edna, and thank you for the suggestion, but I won't be using this brand anymore after I finish what is left of what I already bought. I think you might be able to find it in sample sizes from local dealers so you can test it out for yourself. I personally feel like there are much more affordable paints that work just as well if not better than this brand. Don't feel pressured by me one way or another, though. Use what products make you happy.

  • @ampersanduniquegifts
    @ampersanduniquegifts 3 года назад

    Ha! Watching you shake that jar. I never shake my DIY paint. I only shake my top coats like Golden Ticket or the copper. I water it down a lot when I paint because there's so much pigment. Your paint may have gone farther if you had added more water than another paint brand. I love diy brand paint. 😉

      Hi Margie. I was not in foster care. I was raised by a single mother. We were very poor most of my childhood and those experiences were tough BUT we had each other. My heart just aches for children who go through tough times with NO ONE to love them and support them. I cant imagine.
