Thank you for making this video. And a shout out from a longtime fan from Houston, TX by way of Little Rock, AR.
When we moved to Atlanta I had no clue what to do with the "strange" screen enclosed porch off the master bedroom. It saved my life when we were without power for 6 days one summer. It is now one of our favorite spaces. Southerners knew how to stay cool before A/C.
Its an old fashion "sleeping porch". I live in NC and when we moved into my great grandmas farm house there was a sleeping porch all the way across the back of the house. My parents enclosed it and made a small entrance, laundry room and 2 modern bathrooms. Ive always wondered how peaceful it would have been to sleep out there with the crickets going nuts and the frogs at the pond singing. 😁 Congrats on your sleeping porch.
Wow.. I would love to sleep on a porch like that.. nice video
Thank u so much, I was gonna throw them out until I found you👏👏👏😘
Tracey Wesstrom . I have painted a couple of lampshades and just used a brush and emulsion paint. Came out fine!
Was it ok with it been near the heat ???
Love the sleep porch ! And the multi color quilts are beautiful
Thanks for the tips. I just finished mine and they look good in my living room. :)
I would recommend using a turntable or lazy susan.
Jan Ford What a great idea..TY
Thank you so much for the tips😁
You are just so darn sweet💙
Very nice the color is perfect.🙂
Thanks I've been looking for an olive lampshade with no success. I'll paint the dingy white one I have already.
Thank you. Looking for an easy fix for a couple of lamp shades

Nice color.. Be nice to see them dry? on lamp with light on...
I'm pretty sure he ruined the lampshades with the amount of spray paint he used and how closely he was spraying it lol... might explain the lack of an up close finished project shot
He messed those shades completely up.. He knew not to turn the light on
Thanks, that was the information i needed. What was the spray paint that you use?
Omg beautiful home
I'm gonna try this
I want a bed on a porch. cool idea
Historically people had beds on porches in the south in an attempt to get a cross breeze in our hot summers.
thats awesome...i want an outdoor bedroom lol
After inkstamping on a light fabric lamp shade, is it necessary to clear varnish the lampshade. Please identify a product that one would use. How many coats?
Question. Instead of doing all the prep for the top of the shade, why not just do half then turn it upside down and do it again. Seems easier and quicker than trying to figure out how to put that paper on the top.
Can you use household emulsion paint Matt or silk
What is the name of the spray paint. I was raised in the south. During the summer we had a screen porch we would sleep on the porch at night but we did not had bed but some comfort chairs. I missed those days
That sounds heavenly
Mr. Smith - I’m so glad I found your YT channel! I’m considering painting brown lampshades white. The brown lampshades are made of textured material. Do you think brown shades can be painted white?
Where you successful in painting your brown lampshades white?
Good day sir, may I know what is the name of the cover or what kind of plastic?thanks.
It’s looks rejuvenated…what brand of paint did you use?
I'm trying to paint a burlap (non-smooth) lampshade with yellow rustolem semigloss and it looks great until we turn the lamp on. It shows the un-eveness of the paint. I put 2 healthy coats - any suggestions?
You may need to do more than 2 coats. He also shows great technique in that he sprays in different directions. One coat, go up and down, wait to dry, then do one coat side to side. Wait to dry, and repeat. You may have to do it many times, especially with something like burlap. You could always dye it the color you want with fabric dye. So long as the fabric isn't already on the shade! Good luck!
I have been mulling about how to recover/renew/redo my burlap covered shades--I am thinking that dye might be a better option than paint. Some of these shade look ghastly when the light is turned on, ha ha ha.
Can you share on how to apply wall paper to a wall
I tried this with black and a more slanted shade, it came out kind of rough, like we painted dust. We did clean it well first, any suggestions? Should we try to sand it down?
Tracy I just did a couple of mine and the same kind of happen but mine are made of fabric. Maybe that's the reason why .
I saw where someone painted the inside with gold leaf paint andbit was really nice. But after buying supplies, I think it would be easier to buy a new shade. Amazon has some really nice ones.
You can sand it with a 220 grit sandpaper. It will remove the stiffness.
Are these fabric shades??
Question: Is spray paint better than say Rit Dye?
one bed would be fine but 3 beds looks more like a porch hospital
Haha! I'd have gone with two myself but who knows, maybe he needs three.
😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, it does look a bit like a Confederate Civil War Hospital. 😂
You can use regular paint? I am surprised about that. Regular spay paint is oil based -- isn't it?
Not all spray paint. There are some water based ones and acrylic ones.
I tried being a lifestyle expert too. But people just laughed, shook their heads, and walked away. Any tips?
Find a nicer audience and try again 😀🤗

beds on a porch? is that a southern thing?
Yes it is. Before a/c, they slept out there because it was too hot inside.
Beds on the porch?
It's a southern thing.....I love it!

Look at the camera please
Wear a mask!
You need to wear a mask
Looks like to me you could just go buy new shades with the money it looks like you have with THAT house and the set up there. Unless the spray comes out PERFECT, it wiuld be a no go with paint fie me. Go NEW
That's why people who have nice houses and money have it...they dont spend on unnecessary things. Go to Microsoft campuses and see what Bill Gates and the employees walk around in...old jeans and sneakers. 🤷🏾♀️
Brown??????????????
Porch beds looks like Waverley Hills tb hospital. Horrible
brown? really?
