What wax did you use on the painted fabric seats on the chairs? I am going to attempt this!

The bench is beautiful!
Thanks 😊
With the wood burning you would have more even look with a wider tip burner and go with the grain instead of against
I must admit that I doubted the process, but you accomplished marvelous results on all the projects. I am hooked.
Glad you enjoyed
I can’t believe someone threw this bench away. It’s gorgeous & the fleshing up you did was exactly what it needed! I’m soooo jealous! 😊
Thank you so much!!
The finished pine cabinet is beautiful in its transformed state.
Glad you enjoyed
Your friends table and chairs turned out fantastic with the fabric softner and blue paint method! What a deal. Had. never heard of using fabric softener to do this. Great idea!
You are so welcome!
OMG FANTASTIC
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
Wow! I love this technique!
So glad!
This upcyckled bench is looking amazing ❤
Thanks
Thank you for the tip on putting art on your TV screen. I’ve seen a lot of people do it and now I can do that, also!😊
You are so welcome!
I happen to like raw pine. I would just seal it and add accent cushions to that bench.
Gorgeous
I’m so jealous, you get to find fantastic pieces in the dump. I love how the cabinet turned out.
Me too. We can't take anything from the dump. So sad
Thanks so much!
I loved the yellow rustic bench, but without the decoupaged words. Just gorgeous!
Thanks
I enjoy your channel very much. Thank you for inspiring me to try new things.
I'm so glad!
Your content is always engaging and informative.
Glad you enjoyed
Wow! You find such great things at the dump and beside the road! Fantastic projects!! We do not have that luxury to items around here. Everything was beautiful!
Thanks for watching!
I love the rocking chair. Love the natural color. I personally do not care for all the process that's gone through to make a piece of furniture look rustic. 😊
I understand
Beautiful job thank you for sharing ❤
You are so welcome
Loved all your upcycles
Thanks
WOW
Glad you enjoyed
I enjoyed watching this video. So many beautiful project outcomes👍❤️
Thank you so much!
What a fun video! I love how you can turn dumped items into beautiful reclaimed furnishings. Thank you for sharing!❤
You are so welcome!
These were so beautifully updated. I really loved the bench❤
Glad you like them!
I was happy to see you use products to enhance the wood on the rocking chair t show the beauty of th
Thank you so much 😊
I love, love, love that little red shelf with the giftwrap top! The wrinkles actually gave it a texture that looked intentional, which I like.
Glad you enjoyed
Ya know, I may have made it a shade less deep , added a mirror, cut the base and made it a medicine cabinet in a powder room. So cute
Great idea
All the upcycles turned out great, but my very favorite is the yellow bench. It turned out fantastic!
Thanks so much!
❤ I am happy to say that I found your channel about two months ago and want to express my "deepest thank you" for providing projects and materials at an easier price for those of us that are on a very small fixed income. THANK YOU for making all of this possible because I do enjoy thrift storing, great finds and always a mystery of what you might see😊 Bless you for all you do for us😊
You are so welcome!
Oh my! It’s only, a little more than, halfway through and I’m loving all of them.
So glad enjoyed
The yellow bench.....the front and back look like the headboard and footboard of an old bed turned upside down. Or maybe two matching twin headboards. Great find.
Could be
I love the bench, wow
I love ur channel & the many pieces u’ve up-cycled.
I’ve done a few wood burning projects in the past & I found that burning in the direction of the wood grain, the same as u would when u paint,
brings out the grain more evenly. Going against the grain gives u streaks. Ur piece did look so much nicer with the darker grain so it was a great choice.
Thank you for sharing ur creativity, I always enjoy watching u & amazed how the pieces have been transformed 💜
Great tip!
Oh my goodness, what beautiful creations!
Thank you so much!
Your wicker peice was a sewing table.its amazing
I just love it. Thanks for watching.
What a lucky find. Chippy sounds perfect!!
Genius!
I love the yellow your using too.
I LUV UR BLACK CHALK PAINT...its so soft looking & really covers well👍👍👍
Yes works well
It's great that you can save so many things from the dump, at the dump!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed
I ❤❤❤ the yellow bench you finished!!! Great job!!!
Thank you!! 😊
😊
Vary nice love it ❤
Thanks a lot 😊
The bench was my favorite!
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
me too, could have got 700-1,000 dollars for that on etsy, stunning
Love your work. The outdoor yellow bench is beautiful!
Thank you very much!
Nice!
Thanks!
I love the bench you stained with the paint 👍😎🧡
Me too much for watching
My uncles had a dump we would go to my mom would find things and refurbish, this brought some memories flooding in❤️
What wonderful memories I’m so glad you enjoyed
Love all your ideas. You are lucky they let you take from your dump. Where I live they won’t let you which is a shame. 😢
Yes, we have an area where it gets it to the side. I wish more cities would allow this.
You are just AMAZING! Love watching your videos!
Thank you so much!
They hv that paint brush at lowes paint dept as well
Awesome makeover!!
Thank you! 😊
Your last project, the bench, if it was me living in that cabin, I would be storing firewood in it.
Yes great idea but our fireplace is propane
I love all the ideas! I'd like to add a suggestion if I may...when using a torch, it's usually recommended to go WITH the grain instead of against it.😏
Great point!
1:15:50 the stripped screws, there are techniques for that. One is to use a rubber band between your screw head and screwdriver. The rubber helps to grip, like a jar opener.
Yes that would make it easier
It's amazing to me that they let you take things from the dump/ landfill! How do you do this? I'm not sure our dump would allow this.
Some areas will have a designated area. I wish everyone allowed this
I have a wooden box that I recycled from work. It has a metal edge on every side for support. Do you think if I apply petroleum jelly to the metal I can actually paint the wood and not have to tape it all. I want to chippy and crackled. Love your videos and ideas
Yep will work
Amazing upcycle transformations, as always. Surprised you didn't add some of your great decal-like words/signs on the bench. Curious. Can you use wallpaper vs gift wrap paper like you did on your side table?
Sure can!
i was watching a trash collect channel called taco-stacks, anyway he tours the streets on garbage collection day and the furniture like this is everywhere for free, in Britain we are not allowed to put furniture out so I was really envious....you must go have a look at the street garbage, I thought of you instantly LOL
How excellent
IF only the person who THRU THIS CABINET OUT COULD SEE IT NOW
😊😊😊
❤️ thanks for watching
I am laughing that Deidra saw a little table (56:30)! I saw two signs and a bunch of spindles! It's me. I am a spindle hoarder! Great stuff!!
Never have too many spindles
Liked and subscribed! How can I find used furniture like that? I just recently began doing many craft projects, but I would love to refurbish end tables or small benches like you do. Thank you so much!
I always find lots at the thrift store
D I think next time you burn wood try going with the grain so you don’t have all those streaks on it.
Yes that would eliminate streaks
Do you wet the paint with water to distress it AFTER you’ve let your paint dry, or before the paint dries?
Let the paint dry, and then add some water to distress it
On the stripped screws try a rubber band with your screwdriver.
Yes, that’s a great tip. Thanks for sharing.
The door on the pine cabinet doesn't seem to fit the opening at the top. I wonder if it is the original.
Yes, it was original
Hi!! What kind of printer do you use for image transfert? Thank you 😊
Brother laser printer amzn.to/47LPF0B
The burn technique is more successful if you go with the grain instead of against it. The variations in darkness will look more natural.
Yes, after I did this project I have adjusted my technique
Where does everyone keep their scrap supplies at for all the DIY projects? I have very little space for storage.TIA
I have a very small craft room also . I put a big shelf on the wall to hold a lot of my supplies ❤️ and a dresser drawers

I would have saved the bench too
Thanks for watching
who is the little 4 legged helper ?
Is it cold there in Canada?
Not yet soon
Try using thos spindles for a self-done back massage. Ahhh..
Yes!
🤗😍👏
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
Oh baby! I hadda turn my head! No 1 rule w/wood grains..are to go with the grain!..also when sanding! It's a great idea, but looks splotchy. Kudos for trying..
I can't find your homemade Chalk paint recipes! I don't know where to go for the " link"

I absolutely love your videos, but I don't like the "chippy" look. I would love to paint something and have it look new! Thank you for the amazing ideas!
Thanks for watching!
That cabinet is pretty ... but I think it would look better without the door ... then use the door as a sign
Cause the door is rounded at the top on a square cabinet!
Yes that would work also ❤️
I hate decoupling with gift wrap! It’s because of the ‘finish’, that makes it shiny. When it gets wet it wrinkles terribly! I look for natural, handmade papers to decoupage with.
Yea it can do that
A sewing basket table
Thanks for watching
Now it’s ready for the trash pile!
Thank you for watching! I understand that upcycling from thrift stores may not be everyone's cup of tea. However, many people enjoy learning these techniques and find them useful. It's important to remember that kindness goes a long way in supporting different interests and creative endeavors. Thanks again for taking the time to comment.

Smile Jesus loves you ❣️
Thanks so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
Where does it say description?
What link were you looking for?
You get the most amazing finds for free unfortunately we don't have that here.
Yes, I certainly luck out
@@OurUpcycledLife I do have people that give me things on occasion. A friend gave me a tall cabinet that was a gun cabinet and I made it into a three shelf cabinet. The shelves I made out of pallet wood. The inside back I decoupaged upolstry fabric. The wood I did a faux copper patina paint finish. Then added some raised stencils and copper stencils. It also has a glass door. I added a blue glass knob from dollar tree. Looks fabulous. But it was a ton of work.

ugh!
Painting that beautiful wood ! NO!
I just don't understand why somebody would get something from the dump and take it home and make it look like it really NEEDS to be in the dump why go to so much trouble to make something look so bad.
So many great tips and ideas! Thank you
You are so welcome!
The little wicker “table” is actually an Antique Victorian Sewing Box…great find!
It’s just beautiful I love it
@@OurUpcycledLifeI wonder if the linseed oil you used on the rocker would have reduced the brittleness of the wicker on the sewing basket/planter? Or use the linseed oil to moisturise and when it dries off spray the lacquer over the top?
I doubt you will see my comment 8 months after the fact but if by chance you do I would love to know your experienced opinion on this suggestion.
Yes I recognized it immediately Grandmother’s family were all seamstresses,sewing , knitting ,embroidery thread and ribbon along with tatting. All by hand . Wow what a find !❤
I always love your upcycles!! You make me believe I can do DIY's myself! Your instructions are so clear! I have to say I am jealous-you are wearing a jacket outside! It is 100 degrees here in Louisiana right now!!
Cool mornings ❤️
The tip about the cardboard box was great. Thank you for teaching us.
You are so welcome!
I’m not into distressed looks but love your chalk paint and stained wood. Maybe I would have oiled the sewing basket first to feed it so it wouldn’t be so fragile?
Thanks for watching
Love all the upcycles! It was like watching the "Flea Market Flip" show without the drama. Lol! The yellow bench and burnt one are my favorites! Have you seen the "Shou Sugi Ban" burnt wood/color technique done? It's beautiful. You almost achieved that with the mulit-colored bench/table. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and sharing it. Love from Kentucky, God bless. 🙏🏻✝
I love Flea Market Flip and miss the show…drama and all!😅
Glad you liked it!!
A dry sponge helps remove the paper for those with sensitive fingers. 😊 Love the video, it's very insightful and inspiring! Thank you! ♡♡
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
At one time I worked for a furniture refinisher. He taught me to put keys on a ring and slam those into the furniture to distress it.😁 Very therapeutic!
That’s a great tip thank you so much for sharing
Love the yellow bench!! Enjoyed the different projects you did! Inspirationaal for sure. Thanks for sharing!!
You are so welcome!
