    When you commented that this video is the least professional you've shared, I have to disagree. I think you demonstrated that you are a true professional who knows her craft inside and out. To have so much knowledge that you can turn a setback into a win is a sign that you really know your stuff. And I love the way they turned out.

    I like the results. I’m reminded of what Bob Ross said about painting: “There are no mistakes, just happy accidents.” I think that this is appropriate for this situation, too.

    I don’t think it was a fail! Someone is going to absolutely love that style - not a single piece of furniture is going to be for everyone. I always appreciate seeing the reality of this kind of work - you showed your tenacity too!

    The white wax pulled it all together. They are gorgeous. Definitely not a fail in my opinion.

    Who knew these pieces would turn out to be stunning. I love how the wood grain shows through on the drawer fronts. Adding the white to the top, the first drawer, and the bottom feet gave a perfect contrast. I am happy your rolled with the punches. Well done!

    It absolutely worked. I'm glad you uploaded. 1, we need the reminders that art/creation/effort doesn't always go to plan. 2, resiliency and dedication are important traits. 3, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Good job all around.

    @salvagedbykscott 3 года назад +174

    I absolutely love the finished product and you’re totally right! We run into these road blocks all the time and it’s important to know how to pivot and make it work. I might have to try Ash & White wax the next time I get a good oak grained piece 🖤🤍

    White wax did the trick! Very interested to learn that the initial ‘butte’ waxing was critical to the finish. I never knew that, so thanks for that important lesson!

    I'm so glad you show the real life of furniture refinishing- things don't always go as planned. I think they turned out very cool- a darker take on coastal to me.

  • @juliewitt8461
    @juliewitt8461 3 года назад +55

    I love how these turned out! Distressed isn’t normally my look either but these are just so beautiful! Thank you for being willing to share that projects don’t always go the way you planned in your head, it’s a relief to hear that it happens even to the most talented refinishers.

  • @marlenerodriguez7085
    @marlenerodriguez7085 3 года назад +3

    We are always our worst critic. The wax at the end, was a game changer. These nightstands are absolutely beautiful. To me, It looks like a weathered distressed finish, which I love. This is my first time, at your channel. Unfortunately, now I have to binge watch.😉

  • @Clovergirl7934

    Your Narrative commentating is HILARIOUS!! I was absolutely thinking the same thing you where, for the outcome of the furniture. The final product is astonishingly beautiful! Kind of nautical. I love this video, and thank you so much for putting it out!

  • @signespencer6887
    @signespencer6887 3 года назад +13

    I, personally, think they turned out beautiful. I love your attitude and how you pulled it off despite not being quite what you imagined. Like life, things don't always go as planned. What matters is how we respond to those things. --- Lee

  • @Alex-sv7vt
    @Alex-sv7vt 3 года назад +9

    You're totally right that this look isn't for everyone. :) Personally, it's not my taste, but I can admire the look regardless. You did really well in managing to salvage something you didn't like into something you do like, and I'm certain they're going to go to a home where they're loved and appreciated. Great job!
    Also, I don't think you need to hesitate about uploading content like this. It didn't come across as "unprofessional" just because you winged it. As you said, these situations will come up, and it's a good insight into how to think on the go and do what you can to make something work. I enjoyed the video, the process and the humour regardless of what the design is. Keep it up. :) You're doing great.

    @robinrummel1359 3 года назад +11

    Your instincts came through even though you don't seem to be sure of that. And from other comments, I'm not the only one who thinks so! I love the contrast and especially that with the white wax the grain is visible. Beautiful! 💖👍🙂

    @rina.a 3 года назад +4

    Your prep routine is exquisite. Whenever I watch your videos this is what I enjoy the most. I love neatness, attention to detail, I mean, let's not beat around the bush - I like the job done properly :) This doesn't take away from your painting technique and your eye for colour - they are equally good. Another thing I admire is the respect you pay to the wood. And even though my prefered style is slightly different, I really love your pieces and thoroughly enjoy watching everything you do.

  • @debsmith2269

  • @SteeleMagnolia
    @SteeleMagnolia 3 года назад +3

    I have felt the same way at first, when my colors had too much contrast. We doubt ourselves the entire time we're working on a piece! But girlfriend, you did an absolutely beautiful job on these. Just go with what your head is telling you! I don't think you could mess up a project if you tried!

  • @rdb4996
    @rdb4996 3 года назад +23

    Definitely not my taste, but I can see how this would fit in beautifully in certain interiors. You admirably turned this around (in something that I believe is very fashionable) and did not stubbornly, detrimentally stuck to your set plan. So absolutely not a fail in my book. I hope they sell well!

  • @fayepetrack3892

    Girl, you just kept going and the result is fantastic. AND… you’ve made ring pulls stylish again 😉 They remind me, as an equestrian, of the rings we tie our horses to. And overall, the pieces have a definite equestrian feel. I just love your videos. You’ve turned something no one would want, into something everyone would want.

  • @megmaddox1411
    @megmaddox1411 3 года назад +4

    This might be my absolute fav you’ve completed - I love that the wood is as much of a star as the design and paint/wax combo - they each play a supporting role for the other aspects. Well done! 🥇

    I have praised your work almost to the point of obsession LOL when I started watching this video and was listening to what you said about it not looking great almost not posting I just wasn't going to make a comment.. at the end of the video I thought they're okay and then I looked at them a little longer and thought I like them looked a little longer and thought way better than okay after about 5 minutes of looking again almost obsessively LOL I have to say I love them they grow on you and once they do they're awesome another great job 👍👍👍

    @judieweisenfeld6110 3 года назад +5

    I’m so glad you chose to post this. Some pieces just have a mind of their own and if we keep going we get rewarded! I totally love the end. That fact that wood comes through both colors is very interesting. I’m about ready to attempt the finish where you scrub the grain so the wash will soak in. But this may be an alternative. 😊

  • @moonaglow
    @moonaglow 3 года назад +1

    Wow, they do have a leathery look on the bottom and a denim look on the blue for sure. This maybe a hiccup to you, but to someone else no doubt awesome. I think it’s beautiful and very unique🌟❤️

  • @janaschey2888
    @janaschey2888 3 года назад +6

    I love how these turned out! This is definitely a lesson in trusting the process which is something I am not very good at, especially since I am just starting out. Also, knowing that everyone has doubts and makes changes mid-stream when things don't go as they plan is inspiring and comforting. Thank you!

  • @wburns651

  • @carmenm.4091
    @carmenm.4091 3 года назад

    The way they turned out is better than what you could have imagined, cause you did something you didn’t do before. More interesting this way. You’ve discovered a new method or finish. This is the way new things are discovered, by accident. 👍🏼❤️

    Gorgeous!!! Yep sometimes there are happy accidents like Bob Ross would say. It just shows your natural ability to experiment and roll with things. Not everyone has that. That's the real genius, taking a not intended mistake and turning it around for a beautiful result. Happy accident. LOve it just love it. And it shows us how to think about a project when it goes away. Maybe it can be salvaged or made even better than we thought. 💜😀
