Are you flipping trash to treasure? Are you thinking about a project? Please tell all in the comments and where in the world you are!! 😃
Hello , Iv just found you , love your channel im asking myself...u can use this sofa? the paint will last? its not going to flake when you seat ? you prove it before'? thank youu
@@TheArtsLaboratory I used the technique on chair pads last year and they are still perfect. I think the secret is to apply lots of clear wax and to leave it for a good 30 days to cure properly. I personally would only use this technique on occasional furniture, I couldn’t say how it would hold up with heavy use. Hope that helps! 😁
@@RuralRefurb thank you, it help so much, i was imaginning exactly what you say, thanks for the comments on your experience, i dont even know it could be done :)
@@TheArtsLaboratory let me know if you give it a go! 😃
I’m in Montreal, Quebec. I have lots of Quebec antiques. Been collecting since age 19. Now I’m at the stage of giving my wood stained pieces a good sanding and applying a white wash.. I’ve tried other chalk paint but I keep going back to Annie Sloan.. I’m in my bedroom now and looking at 5 mirrors. All vintage. I have at least 5 or more in living room & I just bought another one last week. I’ll take pictures eventually. I have a friend in the UK WHO sources antiques for me since your style in the UK 🇬🇧 Is much different. I’d stay most is thrifted even my dishes BUT I do love homesense and driving to the States ONLY for Hobby Lobby . If you ever need something I can buy for you and you’ll pay me back . Have a good evening. Hope to meet you some day 👍🤗❤️😎❤️
Bonnie from Oregon. I inherited a house full of antique furniture when my brother passed away. He was an eclectic collector, and my garage is full of potential projects. I was inspired by your revamping of the chairs. Again, you have sparked my creative interest. Thank you for sharing.
Oh Bonnie I’m delighted to have inspired you! I’m so sorry for your loss, your brother’s collection sounds fascinating and I’m sure you’ll have many wonderful memories as you work your way through it. Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻😊🥰
Doreen from Northern Ireland ☺️ You made a great job of these chairs. They turned out fabulous! I’m sure you were sweltered working in that heat. Thank you for all your lovely ideas Tracey. 🥰
It was hot work that’s for sure! 😅Thanks so much for watching and so pleased you liked the results 🤗
Hello from California, I can’t find any beautiful words to say how much I love those chairs you painted! They are gorgeous and what’s else can I say, all I know they are gorgeous! It’s about being patient that’s what counts! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video 🙋♀️
You are welcome! They are still looking as good as the day I did them😊
@@RuralRefurb thank you, it’s really looks fabulous…take care! Have a blessed weekend and week!🙋♀️
Amazing transformation! They turned out beautiful!
Thanks so much! 😊
LIane here from California..... You absolutely blow my mind! I cannot imagine tackling one of these chairs... and you did four! Love the unique look of your technique. I always see something when I am thrifting... but if it looks like to much work, I pass on it. I am going to have to rethink this. I am retired.. I have room in the garage to do projects and store it. So I may just have to challenge myself with you as my inspiration. Thanks and have a happy day. BTW .. loved your neighbors visit. Wish my neighbor was as cute as that!
Oh Liane you must! If you have the room to work and store and the time to do the projects, then that’s perfect! I get such a sense of satisfaction from the whole process. Have a wonderful day darling and thank you for watching🥰
Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada is a stunning beautiful island that floats in the Atlantic Ocean; I am lucky enough to call home To begin with., your eye for the hidden beauty in retired objects is pure talent, but you ability to bring each piece to what you envision is skill and knowledge.

Just AMAZING!! Hi from Australia. It's freezing cold down here near the Surf coast. But I have been thrifting and bought a cabinet and painted it from green to blush. Now i'm obsessed with getting myself a bath tub.
Hellooo Lucy in Australia! Oooh the cabinet sounds great, blush is a lovely shade. I found my vintage tubs on eBay, one from a private seller and the other from an antiques dealer. Good luck with your search 👀 🥰

I’m from Virginia in the USA! I do a lot of trash to treasure and love doing so! I don’t have access, in a very small town, to the thrift stores you probably do so I will need to take a road trip and go hunting!

Love everything thanks from the Netherlands
Hellooo in the Netherlands!!👋🏼🙏🏻😊
Canada here. Love ❤love ❤your house and I thrift most as well. Unfortunately in my end of the world I cannot find true treasures but I never give up
Oh do keep hunting! You never know when that extra special something will pop up! 🥰
I’ve gotten lucky I must say in the last month helping out friends who have lost a loved one, old loved ones so I picked up a few things. I also have a thing with mirrors. I am SO drawned to vintage mirrors . I just repainted one but not finished I need Annie Sloan paint. Lol 😂 but love her paints.
@@dianefontaine8918 got to love a vintage mirror! Annie Sloan is great for revamping them but do try other chalk paint brands and waxes as well 🤍
Enjoying your videos. Such great ideas, and I love the waste not want not! ❤ You asked about our projects. I am new to this but enjoying very much. I have a large leather couch, my dream couch. So large I had to have a larger window installed. When it leaves it will need to be removed in piece. 😂
It is a wonderful soft leather. Untreated. And more has several rips in the husband's seat area. I am looking for ideas. Please share if you have any!
It’s so wonderful when you have a piece you adore. Have you considered having your husband’s seat repaired? Maybe approach some local upholsterers in your area that can visit your home? For a quick cover up use throws and cushions. Let me know how you get on 😊🤗
Your creativity, eye, and skill are awesome. Thank you for sharing...this knowledge opens up new options. I have been blessed with many good pieces from recent garage sale adventures. Learning from you while they are on hold in storage. Be blessed in your day. Psalm 91 over all believers.
You are so welcome! Have fun revamping lovely 🤗🥰

Kate from Oregon
Hi Kate, thanks for watching!🙏🏼😊
Genius
They are still looking great!♥️🤎
I'm sure it was a good bit of work.....but they turned out great!!
Thank you!🙏🏻😊
I had no idea that you could paint chairs. They turned out so amazing! My talents sadly don’t lie in painting furniture. Now give me a glue gun and I’m happy!
Got to love a glue gun Maggie😂Hope you are well and thanks so much for your continued support 🥰🥰🥰
They turned out beautiful! ❤
Thank you! 😊
So Beautiful! Great work on chairs!
Thank you! 😊 So pleased with how they turned out 😁
I Love these chairs! What a make over! Beautiful and inspiring! Thank you for sharing! New subscriber from Montana! 🥰🇺🇸
Hello and welcome! Thank you so much 🙏🏻😊
Wendy Smith from Mississippi, USA.
Hi Wendy! 👋🏼Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻😊🥰
I was told when you reapholstered furniture to put a coin into it to show what year it was done. 😊
What a lovely idea! Thanks for sharing😊
You are amazing!
Awwww you’re making me blush ☺️
I was able to find a loveseat that is in excellent condition other than one of the attached cushions is worn completely through. I looked in different areas and can see ways to remove fabric to recover the top. It was such a good deal that it could not be passed up. It will be where I relax on a closed in porch. My immediate plan is to simply use a throw that is held on with plastic clamps in the back. Will be on the search for ideas or may leave it as is with a chenille bedspread covering it?? I live on the edge of a forested area in the pineywoods of East Texas.
Oooh that sounds like a great find with lots of possibilities♥️
Hello, from Texas. I have a patio set, table and 4 chairs which has been damaged by the sun. I would like to refurbish then by adding a towel or sheet soaked in concrete. Have you ever done anything like this before? I'd love to hear your feedback. Brenda
Hi Brenda, what an interesting project! I’ve never done anything like that and would love to know how you get on. Do let us all know how it turns out! 🥰
We call those "club chairs" in the USA. 🇺🇸
That was sn excellent price, but they were worn out. I wouldn't have known what to do to them.
After you painted them, Will the paint crackle, crack, and wear off? Does it still feel like leather?
No the paint is fine as the wax protects it and yes it does feel like leather 😊🤎
Monica Basson from Johannesburg South Africa
Helloooo! 👋🏼
What colors did you use on the chairs please and thank you!
Paris Grey mixed with Honfleur plus 3 waxes as detailed in the video 🥰
Oregon no projects right now
Thanks for watching Susan! 🙏🏻😊
I’m from Texas….can this be done on fabric chairs?
It can but it’s a slightly different process… I will be doing a video in the new year 😊
I am Sherry I am working on cutting boards I live in Ithaca ny
What an under taking, I wouldn't have thought about using chalk paint. I bought a chair at auction some 19 yrs ago now, had a "broken" leg laying next to it, turned out it just had to be screwed back on, I paid $1/...78 pounds for it. Like you, no one was interested in it. It's me, in the states from the shore in Maryland.
Hi Wende, hope all is well with you🤗sounds as though you got a bargain there and all for an unscrewed leg😂Thanks so much for your continued support 🥰
