🎉Happy New Year🎉 Rachel. Love the suitcase!! You are fantastic-as You dont try to be a celebrity-like other channels - You just show your talent and ...talent- you- have!! The suitcase is Beautiful!!!😊...as are ALL your projects!!
My favorite project is the suitcase!! You have a definite gift, Rachael! You have an eye for the flips you do and I watch you, many times more than once, every week!
I'm glad you saved that big vase too and the suitcase is awesome and functional...I would store a couple throws or small blankets the possibilities are endless as always thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊
I'm glad you liked them!! And that is kind of what I was thinking for the suitcase - it would be a perfect storage place for throws, sheets, tablecloths . . . whatever. :) Thank you!! :)
I liked the subtle look of the stencling. I wish you had added touches to the sides and back. The frame made the print pop. The vase was amazing. Personally, I would have added some copper highlights before waxing. I love the metallics.
Rachel: oh, yes, the suitcase was very good looking. However, the metal vase was a very intriguing piece. Very unusual. Once you painted it, the design ready came out. Carol-GofG from California
The suitcase will be perfect for a Valentine's vignette. It has the vintage romance look . A definite save for the vase and frame. Happy New Year Rachael.
Hi Rachel. I really loved the frame painted in black. The suitcase.... yes it was my favorite. Like a few others noted, i would of put a few transfers on the back. Great job!!
I'm glad you liked them! And I purposefully didn't put anything on the back or the sides. I really wanted all of the "wow factor" on the front, and the rest of it to simply be the background - if that makes sense. :) Thank you!!
Project 1 - I was really doubting the black but I loved it!!! I would have distressed a little back to the white but that would have been a mistake for sure. Project 2 - was wondering where you were going with it but I should’ve been more patient! Turned out really nice Project 3 - beautiful Thank you for sharing your visions.
That suitcase was stunning! I think you should’ve stopped before adding the dark wax, though. I can’t believe the difference the black frame made to the picture! So well done!! Cindi (from WV) 🥰
Happy New Year Rachel! The change of white to black on your frame made a world of difference in seeing the beautiful print. That looks much better! Oh my gosh, that vase! Holy cow! Love it. Ooohhh,, that suitcase, is absolutely gorgeous! I am in awe of the incredible work you did on all 3 pieces. Fantastic job. I would be proud to have each piece in my home. Question on the suitcase, is it able to still be opened? To display old photos, letters, and such? You are so dang creative, lucky lady. Have a great week and will see you again on Friday!
Happy New Year to you, too!! :) I'm glad you liked everything - they were all really fun projects to do!! :) And yes - the suitcase is completely functional. The insides are actually in almost perfect condition, lol. Thank you!! :)
Hi Rachel, The suitcase is GORGEOUS❣️❣️❣️ I would have been stuck with that large vase. Great choice you made. If for some reason it doesn’t sell I would turn it into a birdbath if you find the right top, of corse . I have a ? … How did the wall plaques you were giving your son for Christmas as a joke go over, lol😆
I'm glad you liked the suitcase! I was just thankful to find a way to make that big vase pretty - and it's already sold actually! :) As for the plaques, my husband accidentally ruined the surprise . . . oops . . . they were in our car and since we were leaving for a trip I asked him to clean out the car - which he did - and left the plaques on the kitchen counter for our son, who was watching the house (and our dog) for us while we were gone. Apparently my hubby didn't realize they were a Christmas gift, lol. My son loved them, though. :)
I think the suitcase is so beautiful. I probably would have put some stencil on the back to. But still a beautiful piece. The pitcher turned out really nice. T F S ❤
The black frame made a dramatic difference in the print. Love the suitcase. I've been making over suitcases for years, but have run into a stubborn one. Someone evidently stores woolens with moth balls for years. Do you have any ideas?
I'm glad you liked them!! :) And honestly, this was my very first suitcase, so I have absolutely no experience with moth balls . . . I wish I could help, though! :)
Welcome! Glad you found me!! :) Thank you!! Honestly for brushes I use ones that I've had for years now, lol. I think one is an infinity, a couple are Annie Sloan, I have a couple of Zibra brushes . . . . they are all just brushes that I've collected over time and like how they work. :)
So I have never noticed a smell, but I went and opened my can of clear wax and sniffed it - just to be sure, lol. There is a very mild scent - hard to describe, but not unpleasant - and really only apparent if you are, like I was, sniffing the wax, haha.
You clever lady you, the picture for me. X
:) Thank you!
I loved the suitcase so much❤
Yay! I'm glad you liked it! Thank you!

Lol - well I'm glad you like how it turned out! :) Thank you!
All your projects today are lovely. I must say I was so impressed with the picture, I cannot believe how some paint can improve the look.
Glad you like them! And I am always on the hunt for art with unfortunate frames - a little paint can work so much magic!! :) Thank you!
Both turned out so beautiful!
Thank you!! :)
These all turned out so pretty. I can't believe how that tall urn/vase turned out. It's perfect now.
I'm so glad you liked them! Thank you!
Wow Rachel, all three projects are 100 % upgraded today. But I think the most impact was the vase.
Glad you liked them! Thank you!! :)

The suitcase is very nice. If you find a pair of long vintage gloves they would be cute tied to the handle instead of ribbon.
I'm glad you liked it! And gloves would be so cute!! :) Thank you!
I liked the vase best.

I am glad you asked that, I had forgotten the plaques. LOL
@@theeclecticcottagespokane Those dang husbands. I am still glad we each have keepers though.
I was so excited to see you had a new video!!😍 Happy New Year!!🎊🎆 🥳
Awe - that's awesome!! Thank you - and Happy New Year to you as well!
Cute DIYs

Yay! Thank you!
Love your technique ❤. What kind of art brushes do you use? I’m new to your channel and loving your inspiration ❤❤❤
Welcome! Glad you found me!! :) Thank you!!
Honestly for brushes I use ones that I've had for years now, lol. I think one is an infinity, a couple are Annie Sloan, I have a couple of Zibra brushes . . . . they are all just brushes that I've collected over time and like how they work. :)
Wondering what you price things at...great work!
Thank you! And I don't really think about prices until I am actually staging the items either in the shop or in one of my booths. :)
Does DIY wax have a scent?
So I have never noticed a smell, but I went and opened my can of clear wax and sniffed it - just to be sure, lol. There is a very mild scent - hard to describe, but not unpleasant - and really only apparent if you are, like I was, sniffing the wax, haha.
Do you have any upcoming classes?
I am going to be offering a couple later this month and into February here at my shop - just some beginning painting classes to get people started. :)
@@theeclecticcottagespokane Ever think of coming to Yakima? Would love to sit down with a cup of coffee and you and learn something. LOL
Maybe some day haha
O that SUITCASE🤍🪻🤍🌸
Glad you liked it! Thank you!
Love the suitcase!
I'm glad! Thank you!
