Totally fabulous
Thank you so much!
Looks sooo good!
Thank you again! I’m so happy with how it turned out!
It looks great Ashleigh! I love that couch!
Thank you Aunt Rida!!! I had no idea you watched my videos! I’m so honored!!!-- we sure love the coziness of this couch for sure!! And now is has a whole new look! :) I’m sure you recognize it! :)
Wow looks great!
Thank you so much!
This is crazy awesome! I had no idea this could even be done! 🤯
Thanks girl!!!!
Omg! I'm in total shock, it looks soooo Beautiful. Definitely gonna try this
Thank you!!!! I think it looks SO much better!!!
Ok! After seeing this I’m definitely going to paint my bed, it’s velour and will get way less wear than your couch, thanks so much for this 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 great job 👏
I think that would be beautiful!!! Let me know how it turns out! :)
Um this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! Now I want to find a couch to paint some wild colors! 😋
Do it!!! I’ve seen some really cool ones! One girl did an office couch pink- it looked sooooo cute!
Wow, that looks awesome! I am so surprised.
I know, right? I love it more than I even thought I would!
Beautiful
I am so inspired to do this now
Thank you!!!!! It was a little
Intimidating at first but soo so worth it!
Awesome Job ❤
Thanks SO much! 😊
WOW🎉🎉🎉
Wow! I would be so scared to attempt that. Looks awesome!
I was a little nervous at first- but all the YT videos and blogs helped give me the confidence to take it on!
Same!
Wow! I'm impressed with how this turned out,it looks amazing!Chalk paint is so versatile, I need to find a project with chalk paint and give it a go.What a difference it has made.It looks great, so proud of you 😊💛
Awe thank you so much!!!!! Chalk paint is so forgiving too- so it’s hard to get it “ wrong” but a couch was a whole other ball game for me- and I’m super happy with how it turned out!
Thank you! I have the same sofa here in the uk and been looking for videos on how to dye it as it has faded in parts due to the sun. Just shown my husband as he wasnt convinced dying would work. After seeing your video I'm hoping he will change his mind... fantastic result!
Well was by the window forever- and I never had a problem with it fading. BUT I sure hope this helps! :)
Wow Ashleigh!! You did an amazing job, friend!! 😍 Your sectional looks brand new!
Thank you Jenny! I was literally watching your kitchen cabinet painting video last night! That’s my next project!!!!
@@AshleighPhelps aww! 😍 You got this!! 🤩
Happy Late Mother's Day to everyone that is a mom and to everyone's mom as well😀.
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!
Well done! I’m so grateful that you made this video. My discontinued ikea couch is stained and I have been dreading having to buy a new couch or spend the hundreds of dollars to get new covers made for it. Problem solved! I was looking into a leather look fabric anyway so this will be perfect 👌
OH WOW!!! I cant wait to see how it turns out!!!! Im glad I could help you take the leap! Its a little scary to try such a large piece at first but I was so happy I did it!
I am speechless.
THANK YOU!!! It came out better than i could have imagined!
Although it's not my style couch, you did a fabulous job and the color is perfect for your room!!
Thank you! It wasn’t mine either- so this definitely helped make it more my style.
@@AshleighPhelps Well it looks wonderful! Great way to help freshen the look until you can upgrade to something you love! Love the idea. I have painted small fabric pc's but never something of this magnatude!
Me either!! I was very nervous but then I just went for
It! :) I worked with Linsy Home and updated to another couch. Fits our space so much better- my bestie took this one for her basement/ kids movie space! They are loving it!
@@AshleighPhelps That's great!
Woman.....you with that handy dandy paint brush hehe
HAHA!! If it can be painted--- you know Im down for that kind of project!
What a fantastic result. Yes, the couch looks leather now. Question: IF YOU NEED TO CLEAN THE COUCH, WILL SOAPY WATER CAUSE THE PAINT TO COME OFF?
As far as I’ve read, no, because once it dries, it’s “seals” so to speak. But I will definitely keep everyone updated as so how it holds up!
Looks awesome. Fantastic job. I've watched a few of these vids and have 3 chairs to paint. Personally, I would start at the top so I wouldn't have to lean over wet paint lol.
Hahaha!! I didn’t even think about that- even when watching it back! Hopefully I won’t be doing something so big again but chairs would be great!!! You will have to let me know how they turn out! What color are you thinking? 😍
@@AshleighPhelps I am thinking in the gray area. I just painted my late husband's faded red hunting trailer a gray cement and gunmetal gray color. Gonna use it for storage I stained my cedar siding black a few years ago. Just painted my front door a cement gray. Omg I love it. I'm obsessed with gray and cement right now. Can you tell lol?
@@AshleighPhelps Seriously tho, you did a fantastic job on your couch! What a big job. I love love love it! Thinking about painting my patio cushions as well. Old pillows could be done too to liven them up. And lamp shades and chair cushions instead of buying new.
I can totally relate! Haha!! That sounds great! Let me know how it turns out!!! I love a good makeover project!!
Oh that’s a good idea! I thought about doing that for my outdoor cushions too and then my mom surprised us with a set- so I didn’t get hands on that diy! But I’m interested in trying that too!
Looks 👍
Thank you Andrea!
@AshleighPhelps I steam cleaned my couch, and the buttons rusted. I hand washed and used salt and lemon. I bought different rust removers. I'm losing my mind 🤪 I'm going to try your technique. Wish me luck 🤯
Oh wow!!! I’ve never heard of that!! I sure hope this helps!!! Let me know how it turns out for you!
Impressive. I was looking for videos to see if anyone out there has ever painted outdoor fabric cushions with some sort of canned exterior latex. I figured if it doesnt come out of your clothes it's got to adhere to outdoor fabric. Any thoughts as to whether or not anyone has tried it?
Oh that’s a great idea!! I would still totally do this method! I think it would work nicely. Depending on the heat- I can see maybe it fading over time…. But that’s really with any outdoor furniture. :)
Absolutely gorgeous! What would you use to clean it if something spilled on it or it got dirty?
I use disinfect wipes and don’t seem to have a problem so far- I definitely will do an update video at some point though! :) ty for watching!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Wondering if you could go light to dark? Also have you ever painted a rug that is plush but not shag?? Loved to hear your thoughts.
ohhhhhh-- a rug... Im sure about that one! Maybe a die ( in a tub )Hmmmmm-- let me get back to you on that one!!
I had no idea that you could paint a couch!! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out!! Is it pet safe?
Yes mam!!! Once it dries down your perfectly safe! :)
please list the supplies used for this DIY.
Hi! I love this idea! How has it held up? My husband wants to know before I do this haha
Really well!!!! I’ve wiped it with no problems! It has not been shampooed- but it sinks into the fibers like a stain, so I would think it would be fine as well. :)
Wow absolutely looks great. I have the same couch and I am wanting to re do it. After it dried did u have any issues with the color rubbing off at all?
Thank you!!! It doesn’t rub off at all! Once it dries- it dries into the fabric like a stain. I can wipe is down as well. Now I will say I haven’t tried to deep clean it with a carpet/fabric cleaner or anything but I’m picky about my couches anyway. I don’t let kids put their shoes on the couch or allow the animals on the couch either so I really only need a wipe down here and there and I just use disinfectant wipes. Hope this helps!!! :)
This looks soooo good!
What material is your sofa?
Thank you! Its a microfiber material- hope that helps!
I always wondered if the couch has any order after painting it? and how is cleaning it?
Not at all! It’s sinks in like a stain so I didn’t experience any odor. And I very picky about my couches. I don’t let kids eat on them or pets in them. I usually wipe down with disinfectant wipes or use dawn. I haven’t had any issues I’ve come across so far! :)
Looks great! How much paint did you use? I know it’s 3 coats
Thank you!!! I still
Had about a 1/4 left over in the can! :)
Did you use fabric soften in your spray bottle?
I hear that you can, but I didn’t. Just water.
I am sure I missed how do you keep the paint from rubbing off on you? WAY TO GO
Hahaha!!! No- you didn’t! It absorbs into the couch fabric and dries. So the paint isn’t actually sitting on top of the couch. Does that make since? So once it dries, it’s there forever and it doesn’t transfer. :)
@@AshleighPhelps Great job!!! I was about to ask if it does not stain your white (or any) clothes? What if you pour out unintentionally some water, etc., will it stain?
I haven’t tried that yet- but I’ll “ spill “ and see what happened and let you know! :)
@@AshleighPhelps 😄😄😄
How many coats did you have to do?
@@juliasstampinstudio I believe I did three if I remember correctly.
What are you spraying on it and why?
Its just water! :) It keeps it damp and allows the paint to soak in and act as a stain. :) SO, when it dries, it doesnt transfer. Hope this helps!
Love the video
Been thinking about doing this for a while
How is it holding up??
Holding up great!! I have never deep cleaned it ( since the chalk paint) but im really funny abouy my couches- no shoes or eating on them. And I wipe with disinfecting wipes. BUT it acts as a stain so i think it would be perfectly fine honestly! :) I hope this helps!
Do you think this technique will work for an office partition?
I don’t see why not! What type of fabric are you working with?
I have this office dividers, they are fabric but the inside is like cardboard
Ok!! That makes since! I think it would be perfect for those!
Since it’s got that cardboard material inside. I’d say do it in steps- so you don’t completely soak it. So maybe do the first layer- let it dry completely and then the next layer… and so forth based on your color and how solid or deep you want the color.
Thank you for your reply.
Should I do the same you did using chalk paint mixed with water?
❤ This is Amazing!! I want to do this too. Can you please reach out to me and give me tips? Trick, details? I’m not on Utube but I have FB and you can message me.
Did you do all this IN your living room? Not a huge mess?
Thank you!!
Yes mam!!! Send me your email address to mine- busylittleblondies@gmail.com and I’ll help in any way I can!! :)
That sofa is way too big for your space
Welp, I actually took a chair out to make it smaller! 😜 but we have a lot of people over at once ( big fam) and it seems to work better than two different pieces. There tends to be more wasted space. But your not telling me anything new 😜
