I'm so happy that I've discovered your channel!!! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful detailed instructions. I'm getting ready to renovate a big stepback cabinet, so I'm devouring all of your videos. lol! I'm feeling so much more confident after watching your techniques. Also, I thought i'd mention for some of your viewers that don't have access to black wax, that i've also found, in a pinch, to use boot polish...be careful to check the color, because some blacks can be very purple...which could be fun for some things, tho...lol. There are also some great browns...Thanks again!!!
nanette orchid ... I really appreciate your kind comment and helpful feedback... shoe polish is a super idea! I try to remember that viewers may not have all the supplies and for one ☝️ project, it would be helpful to through ideas to improvise some supplies 😉🎨 I am so glad you have done value to the tutorials and I would absolutely love to see your completed project when your finished 💙💙🎨 Thank you so much for watching 🤗
As always when I watch your videos, I feel like I have learned new things. Thank you so much I really enjoy chalk painting and I credit you with teaching me with so much.🙏❤️🙏
I have been in awe of your pieces for sometime now. When I grow up I want to paint like you. I love your calmness in your voice. When I paint my pieces, I have such anxiety if I cn't figure out my vision for the piece Love watching your videos!!
You are still my favorite! If they were giving Emmys for tutorials, you would get one hands-down for your voice only. You are a born teacher. So warm, soothing, encouraging. Can’t say enough good things about your videos. Keep them coming!
I agree with Nanette orchid, I am so happy I found your channel! I usually zone out on videos, feels like same thing different day, but with yours, I even had to pause it to type in the comments. Don't want to miss anything! You are an amazing artist! :)
Amazing as always, I have total confidence after watching your videos and your detailed instruction to duplicate your technique, you have a real gift, both artisticly and how you instruct.Thank you.
Wben113 ... thank you so much for your kind words and feedback 🙏💙 It really makes me happy to hear people having value from the tutorials 🤗🎨 Stay safe and sending healthy vibes to your family ❤️
Wow . . I would call that vintage elegance! The details, the tones, the gilding wax, all created a very classy piece of furniture! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent ♡
Nikki Lloyd ... I had many viewers asking for a wax tutorial... so I thought it would be a great idea to make a detailed video on exactly how and why I use the wax ... from a creative side 😉💙 It really does make everything come together and the added details you can create make for beautiful touches 😍❤️ As a designer yourself... it’s all about the small details 😉☺️💕
Zhi Zhi ... thank you so much for your kind comment 🙏 I am glad to hear the tutorial came in just at the right time and had some value for your project plan! If you have any questions please feel free to contact me anytime 😉🎨
It really turned out lovely. I have to admit...I go through tons of dark wax!! I use it on everything. Can't help myself. I brush it over the whole piece and then rub off the parts that I prefer lighter...I think I feel that I have more overall control of the high and low lights that I want to create going it this way. But it is more costly my way, yet it's my favorite part of the creation process so can't give it up. I really like that picture of you in the mirror of this piece...the tilted hat and crossed legs just looks super classy. Thanks for another fun tutorial! More please!
kim jensen ... thank you so much Kim 🤗💙 Your message you wrote about waxing... absolutely!! It’s a fantastic way to create highlights and lowlights!! I have waxed the entire piece in the past in dark wax and it looks fantastic when it wipes back off leaving dark points in the low areas of the paint! 🎨💙💙
I stumbled across your website on TH-cam and instantly subscribed! I’m loving everything you’re doing and the creativity is amazing! Thank you and keep them coming!
cheli navarro ... you are so kind! Thank you so much 🙏💙 for your kind comment and feedback I plan to add a few more waxing techniques and tutorials soon. Stay tuned for more 🤗💙
First name. tuscansummer777 Last name ... Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙏💙 I appreciate your feedback and thanks for subscribing 👍🏻 Lots more fun ideas coming soon 😉🎨
Fabulous! Love your videos! So informative. Have order a meshing tool off of Amazon (although I think I have one from our last floor project). Have a few projects I want to try. New at this so your tutorials are a Godsend!
I am one of those that specifically ask you to show the application of wax....so thank you🙏🏻 That was just last week so Wow response time amazing🙌🏻 I love the piece....I LOVE muted pinks and I have a large chifforobe in my garage and this tutorial along with part one are perfect for that piece!! I have watched many people paint and have seen perfectly great paint jobs ruined by bad waxing....it happens....so the meshing technique and application of wax have me ready to tackle that big job! It’s solid walnut in great shape and I got it free!! This came from someone who lives in a a very nice part of town that said Free on Facebook Marketplace and I jumped on it! I really want to do a good job on the gift I was given....so thank you for sharing😊 I live in an old farmhouse and it will stay right here....going to do a furniture transfer of a horse on the door side (no mirror...not missing...never there) so that will be fun to try too!
Kimberly Drake that’s super awsome ! I live a good deal on a great piece of furniture!! I am so delighted to hear you want to give the colour meshing a go! I promise you’ll love it 😍... I have another tutorial coming out next Thursday on another dresser project and even better contrast of colour tones to refresh the Colour Meshing technique again 😉 I want people to feel super confident and be successful with their blending and this technique is golden! I am so happy you had value to both tutorials... it was a longer than I normally like to make the video but I wanted to really focus the technique and effects so I did not want to eliminate to much just for a shorter video 😉🎨 Thank you so much for watching 🤗
Thank you for your reply! I appreciated the depth of video as I said bc new technique....needs a little more instruction. You packed a lot of information in that video....please don’t apologize for length of video....it was perfect for intro to new technique and a very large piece.....transformation was amazing🙌🏻🌟 Splitting into two videos not a bad idea since many people may feel comfortable with waxing....I for one feel a lot people skip that part and it’s important for those who do not have a lot or no experience with it. So “Thank You” for sharing😊 You gave me confidence to give it a go❣️
Kimberly Drake ... thank you so much Kimberly 🤗💙 I am so delighted that you want to give this technique a go!! I would absolutely love to see your project when you are finished 🙏💙💙👌
Kimberly Drake ... PS The next tutorial will be another colour meshing... so having a refresher and other colour contrasts to the list will definitely be a good value as well it’s always nice to see a few pieces with the technique for inspiration 😉🎨
Kim's She Shop ... thank you so much Kim!! 🤗💕 I really appreciate your kind feedback 🙏 This tutorial was longer than my usual tutorials but I so wanted to add as much detail as I could so viewers can be successful with using this technique! I love it colour meshing and I have another colour meshing tutorial coming soon , different colours and smaller project ! Thought it would be a good refresher 😉🎨
"So too the superior man has to arrange and organize the inchoate profusion of such times of beginning, just as one sorts out silk threads from a knotted tangle and binds them into skeins." - I Ching Your vision and practical application amazes me, yet again. Simply beautiful!
Cindy Webster ... thank you so much Cindy for your kind comment 🙏💗 I was not a big fan of pink either until I tried Scandinavian pink 😉 It’s actually a very muted pink and mixed with lowlights it looks very old and natural ... less feminine and loud. Even my husband likes it lol and he is not a big pink fan by any means 😂 I hope you like the technique and get value from the colour meshing technique for ideas! My next tutorial will be a colour meshing in completely different colours and smaller project 💙💙
Amber Young ... I am super excited to show the artist comb and techniques to achieve with that tool !! What I plan to do with that tutorial is show several techniques in one ☝️ tutorial 😉🎨💙💙
Hola Cristina, me encanta todo lo que haces, es realmente bello!!!. El único inconveniente que tengo es la traducción al castellano, que es incomprensible, no permite seguirte. Tus proyectos, son maravillosos.Un saludo y muchas gracias .
It’s very interesting how you applied the metallics wax BEFORE you did the dark wax step. I’ve only seen people do the metallic highlights at the very end.
Staci Hartman ... it can be applied after as well ... depending how you bright or dull you want the metallic gilding wax ... when I wipe back the dark wax the silver will still show but I did do both ways ... apply before and after 😉💕 Thank you so much for watching 🤗
I love your videos, thanks for sharing. I am just learning and everytime I use clear wax it leaves stains in my paint, like more intensity of the colors used in some parts. I cant achieve that clean finish. What I am doing wrong?
Hey, I love 💕 your videos. Do you practice doing these techniques or read a “how to” pamphlet or anything before you do the videos or just go for it??? Your tutorials are informative & helpful. Thank you for doing them!
Liebe Christina, im Teil 1 von diesem Video zeigst du am Ende einen Gummi-Kamm (schwarz). Gibt es ein Video von dir, wo du diesen benutzt auf den Möbeln? Danke dir ganz lieb! Hab eine gute Zeit und Danke, dass du mir so viel Inspiration gibst.
Hi Ann! In this video below in the description box, you will see a link that will take you to Amazon where you can buy the brushes that I use to chalk paint with. Thanks for watching! 🙏🎨
I l-o-v-e your talent and techniques! Is there a way in your editing process to turn down the music volume, or make your narration louder? Cuz I have my phone volume turned up to hear you and then have to turn it down during the important demo. Please don't take offense!
Thanks for the tutorial but can you balance your volume more please. When you speak I've to put my volume to 70% and the music is too loud and have to put volume to 30% . So it's constantly up and down. Little bit annoying.

Great video! I notice you don't use brushes to put on your wax. Why? Also, what brand glaze do you use? I have only used AS Scumble. Thanks!
Question: between applying the paint(s) and meshing did you apply more glaze in between the layers? Thanks!
Hi Shaniqua! Yes I would add a bit more! Thanks for reaching out!! 🙏🎨❤️
where do you buy the blending brush?
Your Annie Sloan stockist will have brushes. I like the brushes from the Paint Pixie too.
Hi Ann! In this video below in the description box, you will see a link that will take you to Amazon where you can buy the brushes that I use to chalk paint with. Thanks for watching! 🙏🎨
