    Thanks for taking the time to video, upload and share your work. We're going to have to start calling you the 'Bob Ross' of furniture painting.

      Haha, I do love Bob Ross. But I’m nowhere near as gifted as he was. Still practicing every piece. Thanks for all your support.

    My goodness... what AMAZING work you do! I LOVE watching you blend! Seeing how you lay down your first layer, then showing how it's ok to change your mind... like the long drawer. You realize that changes can be made, and you just keep playing to get the effect your after! It's funny, that now when I watch other people paint their pieces, they seem so plane! 🤦‍♀️ Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talents with us!!

    Beautiful, Taryn. Per usual. Loved the decoupage choices and I actually loved the stenciling before you painted over it. Can't wait to get back to painting after my move so I can put some of this stuff into action. Thanks, girl.

      @elegantupgrades  3 года назад

      Thank you, Gail! It’s called light khaki. It’s a bit of a creamy white color- but I would say it has a slight green undertone. It’s great for doing washes over red toned woods for that reason.

      😂 You aren’t the only one! It’s called light khaki. It’s a creamy white color. It has a faint green undertone which is why I think it’s throwing people off. But as a side note, it makes it a perfect white wash for red hued wood.
