We get sunshine, rain sometimes snow and wind. Love that the sun usually comes out even on cloudy days in WA state. Some people who are used to heat complain but it’s amazing how much the sun comes out.
Jami, I just love your fearlessness when it comes to tackling painting projects. I procrastinate way too much. And I’m old. Thanks for the update - looks great!
What a treat! I love that pew - it looks so pretty in white. I got my giant package this weekend and I had so much fun unwrapping all of it. You made it a real fun experience and I thank you! I am going to use the paper and cards in my decorating this year. I feel very fortunate! Thank you again!
I wondered if that was snow. Getting snow here is like a super big, exciting event. Last time we had snow was 2011, and it was so wonderful to see and get to play in!
We get sun and snow in Colorado, we also get snow thunder, thunder and lightening with a snow storm.. house looks wonderful.. its all really starting to come together..
We had a beautiful sunny morning here in Western Washington and it was drizzling lightly at the same time. While I lived in Utah, I experienced many days that we sunny and snowing. I do love Utah winters, just not so much those who don't know how to drive in it. LOL!
Well, obviously not where I currently live (Phoenix AZ) but I can remember being blinded by the sun on the snow when I lived in Idaho & Northern AZ (Pinetop-Lakeside) as a teen. 🌞❄😎
Yes Zeb... we can have ALL FOUR SEASONS in one day in Central New York State... My husband can plow the driveway in the morning and mow the lawn tomorrow! 😁 Jami...thank you for mentioning the WAX over TOP COAT ! That explains an issue I had with oak wood! The bleed through when I did top coat! Thanks! Those little IMPORTANT pieces of knowledge you have....👍👍 I used my IOD Stamps today and could not find my Brayer... thought for sure our 2 and 3 year grandkids got it! I had placed it high so they wouldn’t.... I losing my mind! LOL!!! Oh my goodness...what FUN they are !!! ( both Stamps and grandkids... 🤣🤣🤣)
Hello blessings , you guys never stop, ohhh my gosh I really admire your dedication that farmhouse will be so so beautiful, God bless you’re heart, love you guys🥰🙏
That is the perfect spot for the pew. After Christmas just center ot under the window. Place couch opposite or facing the FP. Anchor with a rug. Perfect 👌
Looks great you guys, love the church pew! Wow, I see you have some snow! I'm watching this video at 4 p.m. on Monday November 10 in Southern Ontario and it is 21 Celsius, (that's almost 70 F)! I have never in my life recalled a November day as warm as it is here today! You two are so awesome, the finish line is not too far away! Take care, Sandy 😊
Gorgeous!! The tree and the hearth add just enough colour and texture to make the white and black look incredible. I can’t wait til you add your final touches Jami! Magazine worthy, have you thought about entering your home in the Iris Journal? 😁😁 ❤️❤️
I don't mind the unpredictability of New York weather. It was 79° today and it's mid November!! Praying you can get it all done before the cold weather sets in.
Every day I drive by waiting to see what's gonna happen with the pew! I literally got the exact same one out of our friend's dumpster!!! But, I am self-imposed "grounded" from starting any new projects until after finishing the ones already on my "Protects Palooza" list!
yes:) And, it can be coaxed to a more "chestnut" color if a person wants to has a more "restored" vision rather than painted. I've have a church pew in my home for the last 30+ years and wouldn't think of painting it. I save painting for things that have always been painted, like the poplar 7'x6' kitchen cabinet I'm working on now. I recently renewed the finish on my pew and love it now more than ever. My parents just gave me the oak table they had when they were first married (65 years ago today) and, again, no way would I paint it :) I can guess that I'm showing my aged decor ideas in this comment but I do mean it in good spirit.
In Ireland you get 4 seasons in a day - sometimes within an hour! It's looking great - work is coming along and I'm looking forward to your Xmas decorations in your new Home!
The pew turned out great! The Floor, walls, the pew, the Christmas tree, and the fireplace just gorgeous! Also, it was fun running into you and chatting a little at Home Depot last night! 😊😊
Yes. A few times this year. Once around my birthday in September once in October and now I’m November. It always flip flops for a while. Next week we have a few days in the 50’s and I am excited.
Yep. We get sunshine and snow. Not a lot tho. Being it only snows 3 or 4 times a year. Most years or big snow is when it covers the ground until noon..lol But about every 10 years we get a blizzard.. Like 6 inches or so.. The whole county shuts down and school gets out for a week.. lol.. but I know about snow.. I lived in northeast PA for 2 winters.. I did not like the snow..So I moved back home.. southwest tn.. lol
@@JamiRayVintage ohhhh is that the same one you showed a while ago? I adore church pews. As you know, I’m not religious but my grandparents were the presidents of their little country Presbyterian church. This little church was out in the middle of nowhere in their little bush community. Bush is just a word for out of town, out in the country. I would go to church with them as a kid and we would have Sunday school before the church service. All the adults would have a morning tea under the old pine trees and we would have a little morning tea in our Sunday school class. There were probably only about 7-8 kids but we had a lot of fun. The little church was sold off and funnily enough, a girlfriend of mine from high school’s sister owns and lives in it now.
The bench turned out beautiful!! Everything seems to be coming together. Hope the addition is “getting there”. Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could get in there by Christmas?!🙏🏼
Jami, I love watching you paint because I feel like I can tell how you paint - technique, I mean. Your paint looked to be between milkshake consistency and melted milkshake consistency. Your brush looked to be fully loaded so that you could paint several long strokes on the seat of the bench. And, it looked like you glided the brush over the seat with little to no pressure. Did I get that right? I could almost feel that with little to no drag from your brush. Your brush was fully loaded but if you held it over the bench there would have been no “drippage.” (I’ve heard you use that term lol) Is that right? I can almost feel it because that’s what I love about painting. It’s almost soothing. Thanks!! Leslie
What do you use to buff it with after it dries. I have an antique dresser that looks like the yellowed bench and I just need that info so I can quit being scared to tackle the project...lol. Thanks in advance for your reply!
I use my buff brush. It’s made by paint pixie. We sell it on our website. It’s an investment but worth it. If I didn’t have that I would just use a lint free rag.
When I was growing up my grandmother use to say when it was sunshining and raining/snowing "the devil was beating his wife." I've never heard it anywhere else so I'm not sure where she got the idea.
We’re using MDF baseboards. I think they are like 8” inches. They are tall and chunky. I may have to wait to put them in the whole house because that size is spendy. But it’s really close to the original trim we found in the house when we bought it.
My wishes for they Ray Family. That you can soon relax That you're journey in life is loving and successful. That I could cook and send you a full Thanksgiving Dinner to the farmhouse. Yep, a bit far fetch, but it's a wish.
Beautiful love the final scene with pew, fireplace and Christmas tree. You make me wish I were young so I could start over again.
Hehe, right now we’re in the middle of this remodel/build and I’m ready for it to be finished so I can do all the pretty stuff. 😊❤️
At my house we're much older and doing basically the same thing. Loving every minute of it with the love of my life. It would be nice to be younger. 😀
The tree and bench together is so pretty everything bit by bit you two do is that much closer to moving in.Everything is Looking awesome
We get sunshine, rain sometimes snow and wind. Love that the sun usually comes out even on cloudy days in WA state. Some people who are used to heat complain but it’s amazing how much the sun comes out.

We love our 4 Corners sun and snow combo here in Durango, CO!
It all looks fabulous! Stay warm, stay well.
What a treat! I love that pew - it looks so pretty in white. I got my giant package this weekend and I had so much fun unwrapping all of it. You made it a real fun experience and I thank you! I am going to use the paper and cards in my decorating this year. I feel very fortunate! Thank you again!
I’m so glad it all made it alive. I packed the box myself. It does take a little bit to get it all unwrapped. But hey that’s part of the fun right?
I wondered if that was snow. Getting snow here is like a super big, exciting event. Last time we had snow was 2011, and it was so wonderful to see and get to play in!
Owning a Church Pew has always been on my bucket List....what a great bargain you got and it looks awesome after being Jamified!!! ENJOY 🇦🇺
Yes we get sunshine and snow here in central Minnesota. I love seeing different stuff going on and what you're up to. Looking good!
We get sun and snow in Colorado, we also get snow thunder, thunder and lightening with a snow storm.. house looks wonderful.. its all really starting to come together..
Houston has rain and sun all the time. Wish we had a little snow! The house is coming along nicely. Love the pew!
Love the mixed media video of farm house construction and the painting furniture. Getting it done, great job.
We had a beautiful sunny morning here in Western Washington and it was drizzling lightly at the same time. While I lived in Utah, I experienced many days that we sunny and snowing. I do love Utah winters, just not so much those who don't know how to drive in it. LOL!

Haha! Sounds like you’re having fun! Brayer shave a tendency to roll away around here too. 😊❤️❤️
Each step you take is that much closer to moving in ready! Love the pew! Blessed and safe days!
Hello blessings , you guys never stop, ohhh my gosh I really admire your dedication that farmhouse will be so so beautiful, God bless you’re heart, love you guys🥰🙏

Maybe when it’s finished if Dionne thinks it’s worthy. She has such a great eye for art and design. And she’s a sweetheart. So it’s a winning combo.
Love the bench!!!
Looks so so pretty 😍
Happens in Nova Scotia, Canada! Beautiful house.
We do get snow and sunshine at the same time but today we have a beautiful 74° day we live in Lockport New York
Take a pew you’ve worked so hard! ❤️ loving it!
I love seeing your projects of the day. ALMOST feel like I am there. Missing you all so much!
We miss you too Mom! Can’t wait to see what you do with all your supplies. ❤️❤️
I just got a message from a good friend today... shes giving me a church pew that's been sitting in her garage for years. I cant wait to pick it up 😊
Yay!
East Tennessee has snow and sunshine at the same time occasionally.
We get thunder snow in Oklahoma. No sunshine and snow, but we get thunder when it snows at times.
Crazy!
Yes liked the "little bit of this and that " .And what a lovely result 🙂
It's all coming together!
I love watching your projects
OMG here in Canada we can get 4 seasons in one day... Sunshine in the morning, rain in the afternoon.. and a snow storm iby the evening...
I don't mind the unpredictability of New York weather. It was 79° today and it's mid November!! Praying you can get it all done before the cold weather sets in.
The outside except a little touch up is done. And the heater works in the addition. So we’re nice and toasty here.
Looks so appreciate for the setting.
🦋Sorry I missed the live. This bench is a beautiful piece of oak. My favorite of all the woods.
Yes, in south central Nebraska we get sunshine & snow.
Just the sunshine 🌞 in Florida
Beautiful bench.
Just watching you guys makes my back ache!
That pew is the perfect touch!
Love, love, love what you did today👋🏻
Every day I drive by waiting to see what's gonna happen with the pew! I literally got the exact same one out of our friend's dumpster!!! But, I am self-imposed "grounded" from starting any new projects until after finishing the ones already on my "Protects Palooza" list!
Well, we finally got ours done so now you’ve hopefully got ideas 😊❤️
Antiquer's call it "Golden Oak"
yes:) And, it can be coaxed to a more "chestnut" color if a person wants to has a more "restored" vision rather than painted.

Sunshine and snow always in Colorado.
We literally can have all four seasons in one day in Cleveland, Ohio !!! It's so bizarre and so unpredictable!! Love your farmhouse!😍😍
Looks fabulous guys!
In Ireland you get 4 seasons in a day - sometimes within an hour! It's looking great - work is coming along and I'm looking forward to your Xmas decorations in your new Home!

Same! It was so good to see you!
Loving the church Seat have you had snow already xx 😘
Yes. A few times this year. Once around my birthday in September once in October and now I’m November. It always flip flops for a while. Next week we have a few days in the 50’s and I am excited.
Yay can’t wait to see you decorate your Christmas tree 🎄👍🏻🤗💕
Your tree and bench beautiful 🤩
Wow talk about wearing many hats!
Yep. We get sunshine and snow. Not a lot tho. Being it only snows 3 or 4 times a year. Most years or big snow is when it covers the ground until noon..lol But about every 10 years we get a blizzard.. Like 6 inches or so.. The whole county shuts down and school gets out for a week.. lol.. but I know about snow.. I lived in northeast PA for 2 winters.. I did not like the snow..So I moved back home.. southwest tn.. lol
Snow melt? It's 80 degrees where I still....the house looks great.
So beautiful
Great progress!
Hi Jami -- you've probably already talked about this before, but why don't you use a roller as opposed to a brush?
what an amazing deal congrats
Current weather combo in Houston is humidity and mosquitoes 😁 Farmhouse is looking good 🙌
I'm in Houston also and 100% agree with you! Humidity + mosquitoes!!!
@@elaine1962 crazy ain’t it Elaine?! 🤪 I was thinking don’t put the shorts and bug spray away yet!!!
That pew is the cutest!
It’s been waiting for me to paint it for months! Lol

My freshman got her first snow up at NAU this weekend! She was so excited . . . We'll see how long that lasts LOL!
This makes me so excited to get my Christmas things out. It feels so soft and homey. I love your style 🥰🥰🎄🎄
Thanks! I’m excited to finish decorating
I just love your church pew! I wish I had patience. I want it now!
The bench turned out beautiful!! Everything seems to be coming together. Hope the addition is “getting there”. Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could get in there by Christmas?!🙏🏼
We are planning on it! I’m hoping to finish installing the floors this week
We get lightening and snow....Texas!
Def sunshine and snow, northeastern Illinois. Keep on keeping on Rays!
Great job!
That pew for $50!! 😲Looks fantastic in your space once you gave it the 'Jamie touch.'
I love the pew. Wish I could find one that size.
Maybe you cut a longer one down?
Looks beautiful as usual !!!!!!
I love that church pew. I wish I could find a small one like that!!👍❤️
Where we live in Wales we would love the sun😂😂
Man glitter!! Love it! loll
Southern Indiana is watching.
Your church pew is so much nicer than mine...and mine is mahogany...sure I will get bleed through if I paint. Should I just use DIY or the Milk Paint
Jami,
I love watching you paint because I feel like I can tell how you paint - technique, I mean. Your paint looked to be between milkshake consistency and melted milkshake consistency. Your brush looked to be fully loaded so that you could paint several long strokes on the seat of the bench. And, it looked like you glided the brush over the seat with little to no pressure.

Is that right? I can almost feel it because that’s what I love about painting. It’s almost soothing.
Thanks!!
Leslie
Yes ma’am! With milk paint it’s a delicate balance. It’s not as thick as diy. So sometimes I get drips. I just catch them before they dry.
So much white😯
Don’t worry I will layer in color. Just takes me a bit. Usually I layer i. Color and texture with accessories.
What do you use to buff it with after it dries. I have an antique dresser that looks like the yellowed bench and I just need that info so I can quit being scared to tackle the project...lol. Thanks in advance for your reply!
I use my buff brush. It’s made by paint pixie. We sell it on our website. It’s an investment but worth it. If I didn’t have that I would just use a lint free rag.
I want to paint my construction grade kitchen cabinets a white with a grey undertone. Which color should I get & what type of paint?
Vintage Linen by DIY jamirayvintage.com/products/vintage-linen-diy-paint
Wow talk about a cold shower!!!
I spy snow. :)
When I was growing up my grandmother use to say when it was sunshining and raining/snowing "the devil was beating his wife." I've never heard it anywhere else so I'm not sure where she got the idea.
Love!!!!
Hi Jamie, where can I get the beautiful deconstructed sofa you bought? How much does it cost?Thank you!
It is something that we have to order in. It is $3000 with shipping. If it’s something your interested in email info@jamirayvintagehome.com ❤️
Does the wax come off with heat? Example, when you sit somewhere for a while, the area heats. So will the wax heat and come off on clothing?
Once it’s cured no. But if you have it outside I’m direct sunlight on a 100 degree day it’s gonna melt.
What are you using for trim? We used 1 x 4 rough cedar
We’re using MDF baseboards. I think they are like 8” inches. They are tall and chunky. I may have to wait to put them in the whole house because that size is spendy. But it’s really close to the original trim we found in the house when we bought it.
What a bargain on the church pew! That's a great price!
Nice.
You guys have gotten so far your almost there! Your home with the Christmas tree looks beautiful! Love Barb@ thriftyfleabee
My wishes for they Ray Family.
That you can soon relax
That you're journey in life is loving and successful.
That I could cook and send you a full Thanksgiving Dinner to the farmhouse. Yep, a bit far fetch, but it's a wish.
Hehe, that is my wish as well 😊❤️❤️
