I have seen a lot of tutorials on painting fabric furniture. My conclusion is that it is way too much work for a chair you can't use everyday. I also worry about the wax warming and creating residue on peoples clothing.
I’ve seen painted chairs like this before in thrift stores, and in the up-cycled sections of antique stores. They look terrible, and is not my cup of tea. The fabric feels almost like cheap vinyl, It is not comfortable to sit in because the fabric feels hot, and does not breathe. In a short time the paint cracks. People are always looking for a quick, cheap way to “jazz-things-up”, and ultimately ruin them. I like the color, but I would rather take the time to teach myself some proper reupholstering techniques. If something is worth doing; it’s worth doing well.
Beautiful Kacha, I did this about 6 mths ago but I added fabric softener mixed with my paint it made it smell lovely as well as helped the paint move easier.
That’s a great idea, and I’ll be using that tip.thank you.
Agree I also used fabric softener
My husband was shocked at the end. He thought it would be like a crust but it was supple
How much fabric softener ? I’m looking to do a recliner
@@mariemarie1646 I didn’t really measure it but around 1/3 of the paint mixture. I still smell mine when I walk into a room after months. I painted fabric pelmet boxes
I love the look of this chair & the process, but if someone is wearing white clothes, can they sit on this without having either wax or some of the color stain their white clothes? I’m only asking cos everyone I’ve seen that paints the fabric on chairs, usually sits on them while wearing dark jeans or just darker coloured clothing! Does anyone have experience with this please?
Hi Kacha, beautiful job! Does the paint ever rub off onto your clothes? That's what I would be worried about!
Katha, the captions thought you said "sexualized fabrics" instead of "texturized fabrics."
😂😂😂
Kacha, I am so glad that you did a chair tutorial. I did my dining chairs three years ago with duck egg color. They have held up to daily use surprisingly well. If or when they show wear, I can always paint them again. I love everything that you do. Congratulations on your store. I hope you are blessed with more and more success!❤
Question if you put wax alive the chair won’t that get on people’s clothes who sit in the chair? Or is it just for looks?
Same question, and also wondering if the answer is no then how long after you apply the wax can you sit on it?
Adding a professional wax over the paint will keep it softer and more flexible, but yes the wax needs to "cure" for at least 45 days in my opinion! I've tried this before, using Annie Sloan wax and it will leave residue if you sit on it before its cured !
I have painted a lot of fabric (and learned a lot along the way). Don’t be afraid to do it on chairs you use every day because they wear extremely well. Also try it with an all in one paint ( like DB’s Silk line) and you don’t need water and the fabric is much softer when you are done. The older the fabric, the more it will accept the paint evenly (and you may want to add a stencil or stripes on top, if it’s a problem) . Your chair turned out so lovely and the gold leaf is perfect. Good luck on your opening 🎉
I just screenshot your comment, for good tips.😁
@@robinstarr7581 I have on some projects. Dixie Belle has a liquid wax called Easy Peasy spray wax that works well but if I am doing chairs, I rarely do.
@@furnitureduchess9103 How does the color not transfer to clothing when sitting on it?
@@lisajameson1077 it’s basically dyeing the fibers of the fabric. You are not putting a lot of paint on the material so it’s not sitting on top of the fabric where it can transfer to your clothes. I hope that makes sense but an example is when I paint, I need to remember to wear my painting clothes because once I get paint on them, it doesn’t come out (even in the wash). I have a couch that I painted a couple of years ago that we sit on daily and I promise you that the color has never transferred to anything else. Hope that helps!
@@furnitureduchess9103 Yes, thank you so much for replying.
Seems like fabric would be stiff
what happens when you sit in a painted and waxed upholstered chair?
Love this, who knew? I had no idea this could be done, thank you for sharing the whole process! Best of luck with your store❤🎉
Everyone is asking the same question about wax staining clothing, but no one has any insight on this so far. That’s an important question.
Sanding with a fine grit sand paper helps soften the fabric, the chair looks absolutely beautiful!!
Did you use fabric softener when your fabric painting?
I’m so excited for you, Kacha. You’re already a success, and now you’re expanding your world. You go girl!
Thank you Kathie
is it stiff
I’d worry about temp change with heat or body temp that the wax or color would transfer to clothing… white pants for example!!!
Any worries??
It came out beautifully! I appreciate you telling tips on what to do and what not to do! There are no mistakes just learning experiences!
Does the wax come off on the person sitting on it?
So, we should call this the "don't give up chair". Its beautiful. I love it
It looks stunning. Love the white glove trick, I'm definitely doing that.
You have given me the courage to finally paint my chair. Thankyou so much.
I've watched you from when you first started, I couldn't be more thrilled for you with your store. You have worked so hard, you so deserve it.
I just know it will be a huge success because you are so talented and such a lovely person. Good luck with the opening 😊
Kacha, use a high grit sand paper to get the gold leaf off. Sanding lightly also makes it softer too.
Beautiful color. Congratulations on your store and best of luck.💜🦋
I've seen other people paint fabric and it always looks good.
Thanks for all the tips on which brush to use and keeping wax for gold leaf separate 😍
This is so beautiful! My only question is: doesn’t it stain light colored clothes if you sit on it?
Was reading the comments and saw yours…I have painted a lot of fabric chairs and couches and once it’s dry, nothing comes off. My husband’s office chair, which he uses every day still looks like new after years of daily use and my dining room chairs get a lot of use and they are beautiful. Hope this helps you out 😊
@@furnitureduchess9103 thank you! 🌸
ok, but when you sit on the waxed fabric, what about your outfits ?
Thanks for the tip about using a cotton glove for burnishing the gold leaf! What a great idea!!!
GREAT JOB Kacha'!!!! The original pattern was AWFUL!!!! You made it into a WONDERFUL PIECE!!!! I was SHOCKED though, that you were able to use Wax on it!!!!
Wondering if your cleaner you used, if you used fabric dye in the water chamber would work quicker & easier? Which may also leave the fabric in a softer condition after it dries? How does chalk paint wash wear & tear after use? Would the paint wash be too stiff and crack when someone sits down?
Thank you so much for this! So creative and fills me with so many ideas. I love the new studio, congrats!!! Excited for all the videos to come. Oh, and those gold curtains are beautiful! ;-)
Is there a specific kind of paint you use? You don't mention it
I love that you showed how things can happen and how to over come the tips and tricks to make this fabulous chair look so great. I love all the videos, I have been hesitant to try and paint a chair..... Maybe if I get it for free,then I'll try it 😊
Excelente trabajo como siempre.., felicitaciones...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Kacha that chair turned out fabulous I can't wait to see your grand opening and the chair did look like leather !!!God Bless you two !!!🙏🏻❤️❤️
Hi Kacha, 5years ago I watched Annie Sloan do a chair and she sanded the chair once it was dry and then added the wax and wiped it off. When I did my chair, it came out really soft and beautiful.
I was wondering if there was a reason why you didn’t sand yours? Love You💐
Fantastic make over Kacha, I also painted a couple of vintage Tub chairs several years ago which I really love. Congratulations on your new shop, I love all your videos and advice keep them coming, Best wishes from Scotland😊
Interesting. I've never seen someone paint a cloth chair before. The golden touch really makes it stand out even better. TFS. Lovely.
I’m about to paint some furniture for the first time and stumbled upon this! If anyone had any advice let me know.
Does it just dry in the sun?! Or ….
I’m going to bug the people at home dept hahahaha 😂
Love this video thank you 🩵 what a beautiful chair too
Love what you did painting this chair. It looks amazing. Love it❤ I’m wanting to paint two similar chairs that is an awful green color. My question to you is, What type of paint did you use? Acrylic or satin, matte or chalk paint? Annie Sloan? Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore? I’m ready to get started! You have inspired me. Linda from Pensacola, Fl
I like the finished look of your project, but I’m curious how the fabric feels after painting it? I’ve seen painted chairs in 2nd hand shops before but found the fabric felt too stiff to be comfortable. How does yours feel? Comfortable enough for sitting in or is it best just for decoration?
You’re amazing! You have an enormous excellent talent and elegance to make piece of furniture turn into a diamond.
I love your channel, my best wishes and successful at your new shop!!!!
Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina
Solucionas todos los problemas de irregularidad en el color dando un primera capa diluida de pintura bien mezclada , tal vez tengas que dar tres manos de pintura pero el color será más parejo 👌
Such fabulous tips on dying fabric, Kacha! It came out beautiful though, didn't it?? I am very excited for your store and happy for you as well. I wonder if I can make it to your grand opening (I am in MA visiting my oldest son). I 'might' be able to do it. xoxo 💜💜💞
I like the pattern-it looks like embossed leather!
Have you tried a organic paint? For example ECOS Paint or a lime wash paint
I love the look of this chair & the process 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼but I have to ask…if someone is wearing white clothes, can they sit on this without having either wax or some of the color of the chair stain their white clothes? I’m only asking cos everyone I’ve seen that paints the fabric on chairs, usually sits on them while wearing dark jeans or just darker coloured clothing! Does anyone have experience with this pls?
I noticed you sweep up the little bits of gold leaf. Can you reuse these bits? I know with real gold leaf they can reuse them because they’re so valuable. Thank you! Just love your work. You are inspiring me to try this myself!
Hello Kacha do you recommend chalk paint for a dining room table that is going to be use regularly including hot pots being placed on it… I have a china cabinet and 8 chairs dining table, I’m not sure what kind of paint or stains is good to use for a color change/update…. How can I send you pics of it for visual … Thanks for your help in advance.
Yuck - why would i ever want to sit on a painted chair???? no breathability - get up and my pants are all wet cause sweat can't be absorbed - over time the paint breaks down and cracks off - common sense - but of course this is all Jmho
Love your excitement over the final product.
Gold Leaf Signature finish with Kacha. Thank you for another great video.
GORGEOUS Colour Kacha ❤ that idea with the gloves !
A very big Congratulations on your new shop . Can’t wait to see pictures of it when it’s open .
I am definitely going to give it a try. My sofa is pure cotton. It's kind of white but there are really bad stains on some parts. I have tried almost every method to remove the stains but they simply don't come off.
I want to dye it dark blue but my concern is if the stains will still pop out in spite of the paint????
Any suggestions there pls????
Wow, i just love your work. But i have one question for you, since you already gave me the idea of repainting my sofa, which is it possible to use any kind of paint?
Just learning so much....thank you for all your trial and errors along the way so we can take your experience and knowledge. Love from new Zealand.
I have an old and pretty cracked looking, soft leather couch and matching armchairs. Can this method be used successfully on leather?
Like your channel🌹. After coloring the chair with paint is it practical? ... Can you seat on it without leaving stains on your clothes?
I love it I was given a ugly wingback with good bones and I watched your video thank you so much now I have a plan
Enhorabuena!!
Precioso trabajo 💖
Te deseo todo lo mejor con tu proyecto que seguro que te irá genial, eres una gran artista!!!
😊🥰👍🇪🇸
Ой, лучше бы говорила на родном, установив титры... Уши вянут от тяжёлого акцента.
Thank you. I am fixing to do a chair. It's similar to yours. Congratulations on the store y'all you and hubby deserve it
Original was very BEAUTIFUL. Ruined it with the paint.
Excellent! Turned out stunning a real show piece for your store. I bet you got a real good arm work out! I’m looking forward to more videos about your new ventures! 💕
Beautiful color but like everyone else I'm skeptical about the paint if you wear light color cloths. How fast this paint will wear off the fabric with even minimal use
Secondly can you pls provide the link to the vacume/washer that you used to clean your sofa with???
Not once do you get nuclear shots of the chair for even a nanosecond . focus on the item give us long lasting looks as you describe your item/ as we dream of recreating the same or slightly different long lasting looks panning away or in thanks
Beautiful thank you for this. I have been thinking of painting fabric, just might give it a try.
Kacha, have you tried masking tape to pick up the stray gold leaf?
Болно е на всички! Чест Ви прави ясната позиция, по добре не може и да се каже. А къде са колегите ви журналисти?!? Само на Вас ви стиска да се опълчите и кажете истината, дано ви разберат хората и осъзнаят сериозността на ситуацията!
I sued spray bottle of water to moisten cloth and fabric softener with equal amounts of paint! Try it!
Does the paint dried and mixed with the fabric threads? I’m afraid it will crack as soon as it dries,
When mixing color what do you think about using an xlg plastic syringe?
If you want to paint a chair a lighter color than the original color, can a primer be used? Im not sure how to go about this.
Es silla por fuerza tiene que quedar dura o tiesa por la pintura, solo hay que escuchar la brocha raspar y la cera hará que te manches la ropa.
Did she mention what type of paint. I quickly skimmed the transcript and didn't see it
Congratulations from Greece🇬🇷❤🇬🇷👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍
I just want to know if you sat on it in white, would itnot rub off? Looks great and Iwant to try, but wouldnt risk it for that reason...
I've heard that using fabric softener helps keep the fabric soft when painting it
What kind of glue did you usr for the gold leaf please? Looks amazing!
I adore the colour but…. Would you sit in it wearing white clothes? I think that would be the test.
Kacha, do you mind telling me how much a chair like this would cost. It takes a lot of time.
Do you have any experience with Dixie belle chalk paints on upholstery?
Bautiful!! Could you use gold wax on the piping? Just curious :)
Спасибо,что поделились всеми тонкостями процесса покраски
I’m not keen on the stiffness and look I wonder if you could do it with cold fabric dye!
So the wax will seal the paint so it doesn't come off. I heard your message that not to use on item that will get lots of usage
Looks nice but I wouldn't want to sit on it with a white dress or pants. Best of Luck!
Absolutely love it. Thanks so much for sharing ❤ I have done my high traffic lounge same shape as yours. A 2 seater and 2 1 seaters. But I didn't want the leather look. So after 2 coats and letting them dry I lightly sand papered them. They became soft again and I absolutely love them. They are duck egg so quite light and wear extremely well. I am so impressed and that was about 6 months ago. So for anyone wanting a fabric look and not leather skip the process of the wax and give a fine sand ❤
Thanks. I want my chair to be soft. Get tip.
What kind of paint are you using?
Does it dry hard or is the chair still soft after it dries?
Посто прелесть 👍 это краски для тканей ??????? Спасибо 👌
I. Hear fabric softener makes the paint work better and makes fabric softer.
Can you use a top coat varnish for the gold leaf? Instead of the wax?
Hi Kacha ... chair came out beautiful... but the gold legs... 😞
No sabía que se podia hacer eso y no acabo de entender como es que la tela no se empapa de pintura!
Thank you,pleas Slovak Translation.😅❤
Prelepo😍😍😍❤
Hi cacha.....that was an amazing project, just one concert. If I do that, should I use a softener miss with the water?.....what do you think about it....thanks so much, and my best wishes for your gran opening!!
So sorry, misspell your name, Kacha❤
It seems that if you put paint on dirt, it will eventually come off
Use a fabric medium to keep the fabric on the chair from being hard
I wonder if scothguard works on the fabric
Thank you for the video. Wich kind on paint do you use?
Que tinta é que usa? obrigada pela indicação
