    Love the new color of wood. Not a fan of the white hardware. Maybe and antique brass or gold color or destress it? Either way it's beautiful.

    • @shanimarais9695
      @shanimarais9695 Год назад +12

      I agree. This piece is beautiful, but the white almost looks plastic against this gorgeous wood. Lovely work though Mary! It's just that one detail, a bronze would look good.

    • @craftywench6651
      @craftywench6651 Год назад +7

      Yes the hardware is off, but the oven cleaner worked. I might repaint the hardware with a antique brass. It would be a less shiny brown tone to go with the wood.

    • @noelle7714

      Maybe black on the hardware???

      Agree. The white is very distracting.

    • @cedarcottagefarm2885
      @cedarcottagefarm2885 Год назад

      I agree. The white doesn’t work with it. It’s too stark. I almost think black or antique brass would look better. The wood came out beautiful.

      Be a lot more careful if you are using over cleaner. It’s fumes are very ,very toxic to your lungs and you need to be very careful of the amount of paint and such that you exposing yourself . Also can effect liver over time. Enjoy you so much, God Bless!

    The mirror looks great! One suggestion would be to not paint the hardware white....just my opinion, but I thought a bronze would look so much better since you didn't care for the brass. Also furniture stripper would work much better, You wouldn't have to pressure wash if you used regular furniture stripper. Very excited t see the finished cottages!!!

    I’m not a fan of the white hardware either, maybe an oil rubbed bronze would be better. I’ve never used oven cleaner to strip wood, but I helped my Mom strip an iron bed with lye…..which was very cheap and probably why we used it around 60 years ago…way before most of us had concerns about the environment.

    • @7adethelrou75
      @7adethelrou75 Год назад +1

      I agree with you about the white hardware , my thought exactly. I have used oven cleaner to strip several pieces of furniture and it worked great for me .

    • @cynthiafisher9907

      Oven cleaner is lye based. It’s not toxic to the environment, although it is caustic.

    Much improved! Perhaps a pretty narrow design stenciled in white around the top front of the mirror and tiny coordinating corner stencils on the front of the bottom cross brace, to go with the white hardware?

    Yes yes yes! I couldn't believe it when I saw your thumbnail Mary! I have just bought a small stand for my entry way that needs an upcycle. I have really wanted to try this technique, but with all things you get good and bad reviews and I was in two minds. I will now definitely try it for the top of my little stand and depending on how the wood looks, I may even have a go at bleaching it, as you have also done before. Your mirror looks brand new and beautiful and as always was a success. Thank you for your amazing videos, Danni from Australia😊❤🌺

      You’re so right!!! Mary DOES know what she’s doing, which is why she doesn’t need a mask working outside!
      Her sandals? Water might get on her toes but other than that, what’s the worry?
      Those that have never done these projects shouldn’t offer up safety suggestions esp when they haven’t been asked for! 😊

    Many years ago (48 to be exact) I mixed equal parts lime and baking soda mixed with enough water to make a paste. I brushed it on, let it dry and hosed it off. Took paint right off. I would try it on an inconspicuous place first.
