I really love your paints & have done some faux finishes professionally. Then I had to stop working due to a spinal cord injury.
However my own taste runs more toward the old world style of finishes, instead of Americana (Farmhouse style)so I am really more interested in learning your methods rather than in the wording itself.
Otherwise, I certainly would be interested in joining your membership.
I have heard you talking about your recipe for chalk paint as well as crackle & other distressed finishes, being part of other video’s you have made
containing these. Would you mind pointing me in that direction please.
Also it seems that nearly every-one in America is interested in n “farmhouse style” and I would be most happy to refer those I know to your TV Program. I am certain they will be more suited for your farmhouse style than myself.
Thank you for all the information you pack into your teaching. They are a delight to watch.
Elisabeth❤️
Fantastic work ❤

I just have to tell you how very helpful you are to us crafters. You give so much of yourself to us with your knowledge and technique. Without you, I wouldn’t know the first thing to do and I’d still be spending a fortune on paints. There’s no price you can put on your generosity! You deserve to be applauded!
What a wonderful message and you’re so sweet for saying that I appreciate it. I love being able to share my passion of upcycling and Crafting affordably so I’m so glad that it’s been helpful for you. I appreciate all of your support here on my channel. Have a fantastic day. XO.
Well said and spot on! Much love from🇨🇦
I'm going to repeat myself. I'm obsessed with this channel.. I want to quit my job and go thrifting all day then do crafts 😊 I'm so happy I found this channel.
So glad you’re enjoying!!
I have been a crafter for many years. Lately I've kind of lost my mojo. You have restored it! Very inspiring! Thank you ❤
Oh that’s excellent! So glad to inspire ❤️❤️
I’m right with you. I stopped right in the middle of projects because of construction disaster going on. I have two big pieces and signs all half done from about a year ago waiting for me to work on them. I have cleared off my work station while watching and going to try to start up again. I bet all my paint is probably dried up. The problem is you have so many projects that are gorgeous and techniques I want to try. I sure wish the dump would let us grab a few things. No foraging. I did grab an antique high chair in perfect condition someone set aside hoping someone would grab it. So I thank you so much for sharing your talent!
I live on an old dairy farm that was built in 1908. You've made my head explode with all the possibilities for crafting. Every outbuilding and the barn are full of items described in this video. I am going to be very busy from now on creating. Thank you!!!
That is awesome! Imagine the projects you can make
@@OurUpcycledLife We discovered what was a ranch hand appartment after climbing in the rafters of the barn. The original stairs long gone. The things we found from 1908+ was incredible. I found some glass window panes still in the wooden box they were shipped in that were 1/4 inch thick and had bubbles. Old life magazines, cooking stove, sink, the frame of a bed. So much stuff frozen in time. 🤗
love all you did. I would and will save from the dump-and-burn pill that you have taught me today. thank you so much for sharing the many talents God has blessed you with.
I love your style!! And it's different than mine so it expands my thought process for crafting! ❤ Thank you!!
Excellent you can put your twist on upcycles with these techniques easily
Just love the farmers market cabnet.
Loved them alllll!🎈
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
My dear, I just love your channel. You are so talented, ingenuitive, and positive. So many people, with your teaching of this grand artform, have made their lives better. Personally I have started a volunteer project down at the homeless shelters and treatment centers for the homeless and anyone else who wants to join a free classes demonstrating what I've learned from you so that people can create and sell objects that they can make from other people's trash! It has allowed so many people to feel so much better about themselves and make a little money on the side when they would not have been able to before. Some people have even gotten off the streets and into homes because of this project. Again, I thank you so much.
(I wish I could be a member, but money's tight when you run a volunteer program.)
❤❤❤😊❤❤❤

Oh my goodness this sounds like an absolutely fantastic program that you are running. I’m so glad that I can have a little part of it in my teachings to guide you along.. if you ever have any questions with any techniques that I’m showing or you’re having some issues make sure to reach out and I can help you out. I would also like to gift you a full year membership to my graphics club that you can use for your program you were running. That’s the least I could do for how much work and effort you are volunteering at this shelter. Here is my email deidre.gourlay@live.com If you send me a message there we can chat and I will get your email and have you set up on the graphic club program. Take care and thanks for all your support here on my channel. I really appreciate it.❤️xo

The little red table is sweet ❤ ps: so relieved that you painted the underside. I always have to do that.
My absolute favorite is your pegboard l, I admire it each time I see it in your videos! Love your work!!!

Love it all
Thanks 😊
My favorite projects were the hanging planter made from an antique lamp part and the sign made from the back of an ola chair! I would keep the planter indoors, though, so it doesn't corrode. Someone may want it for a lamp again.
Thanks for sharing!!
I love that chair is so pretty
Thanks!
You’ve given us some great tips and ideas. I really loved that tray - just beautiful
Thanks so much 😊
I keep REwatching THIS VIDEO it pops up on auto.i keep finding crafts i somehow missed!
LUV that Brass light piece turned upside down as plant holder🌿🌿🌿. Very EASY & SIMPLY ELEGANT 💚
Awesome! Thank you!
I love everything you do thanks for sharing your amazing talent ❤love the storage bench, you are such an inspiration. ❤
Thank you so much!
Well, I’m going to admit it, I’m addictive to your channel!! I get so many great ideas from you!! Some time I feel like my head is going to explode!!
I do have a question. What can I make with some scrap 2X8 pieces?
They are about 2 feet long. Thank you!!
So glad your enjoying! I would cut up and make into shelf sitters
Love the tea pot and liked the black too.I look for chairs like that soooo pretty. LOVE LOVE ROCKING CHAIRS !!!❤❤❤❤ . Sooo many beautiful napkins. My favorite peice is the one with the napkins and the lines on the cabinet is amazingly BEAUTIFUL. Everything amazing!! WHY WOULD ANYONE TRASH THE BENCH... !!!
So glad you enjoyed
🌟Totally awesome and BEAUTIFUL again…. You gave it a wonderful new life! > I ❤ it! < Thanks for sharing your great ideas! 🎉 Happy days are here again!!!
Thank you so much!
That dresser would be really pretty with a padded fabric covered board in it for jewelry and a free standing mirror on the dresser. Very cute dresser, so much can be done with those.
Totally!
DFNTLY WOULD SAVE IT FROM the DUMP😊. Great job 👍👍👍
Thanks 😊
Loving your inspiration
Thanks 😊
The rocking chair!!! Be still, my heart❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Right!!!
The red take is one of my all-time❤ favorites.
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks so much for watching.
I love that tray. Good job 👍👏❤😊
Thank you! 🤗
Enjoyed your cabinet redo! I can't rip napkins where I want them to rip. I have a pair of scrapbooking scissors with a VERY irregular deckle edge; I love how I can control when I want it to "rip" but still have an irregular edge. That cherry red on the last table is a gorgeous color!
Glad you enjoyed
Wow! You have the mind and vision for crafting and saving projects!❤️
Glad you are enjoying
Hi Diedre, I am always amazed by your creativity and skill level!! These projects are all fantastic and I thank you for teaching us how to make over things that were tossed away. I used the glue and paint crackling technique you demonstrated in this or the other recent video (can't remember!) and the cracks are forming 😁😁😁
Yahoo so much fun
I loved every stinking one of your projects! I want to do them all. I wished I could have access to the wood pieces you find. I'd even pay for them. I love your insight for these projects too. So much fun to watch! Thank you for all the inspiration!❤
I thoroughly enjoyed it all, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really like the sign made from back of chair...just my style❤. Love that rusty chair fix too! Really ENJOY when u do OUTDOOR CRAFTING😊
Glad you enjoyed
Never saw anyone ever do a salt and pepper approach before! Perfect!
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks so much for watching.
Your creativity is unbounded and so fun to watch👍☺️
Thank you so much 😀
Love what you did with the pellet boards , planter stands look awesome . 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Love the upcycled bench. Can't believe someone dumped it. Great job on it.
Thanks!
Again, and as always, thank you so much I have learned so much from you and you have inspired me beyond what I thought I could do just purchased more of your files. Can’t wait to get started on my projects. Thank you again God bless.
That’s excellent ❤️ have fun creating
I have learned so much from you that I had to join your $6.99 membership an am very excited to make so many wonderful things like you!!!
Yay, thank you!
FANTASTIC BENCH 💛💛💛
Love the plant hanger! So imaginative!
Thank you! 😊
You have put so many beautiful and clever ideas on this video. I’m so glad I found you! I have wanted to make some signs for my booth, but I always mess up when using a stencil. I can’t wait to try your technique for using my printer to transfer the graphics onto the board! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful
Would love to see more of your projects without a graphic or a sign
I have lots of projects without images. Have a look around. Hope you enjoy.
What fantastic items!!!!
Wow! Not only great ideas, but your tips on wet decoupage and salt for chippy paint are awesome!

Oh, Michelle- You were so sick the first time you used the resin casting powder! Maybe you should put the water in first and gradually add in the powder while stirring-? Could you put it in your vacuum chamber? Well, the coasters...It WAS April Fool's Day after all! 😊
Beautiful cabinet. From drab to fab
Christine from St Peters MO!
I really enjoy your videos. You are inspiring and creative. I so look forward to seeing what magically creation you make from something random to awesome amazing product. Thank you very much for your videos.
Glad you are enjoying
Gorgeous Rocker
Such great ideas here D!
Thanks Erin I appreciate it❤️
You are so talented in taking and creating wonderful pieces!!! I still am struggling with the chippy part, but Im determined not to give up. I do have a question for you though. I really dont prefer the vintage black and white look. I need and want color. I just love you using the teal and yellow... but then you cover it up with white. Have you ever done a white and teal and covered it with yellow????
Oh yes for sure that will work ! Just experiment
I love all your ideas.i wish we could take some old wood think out of the bump. But they will not let us.
I wish more places had an area
You are so creative and you are a wonderful instructor! You also respond so classy and calm when and if you receive a snarky comment!
Thank you so much! I always say kill them with kindness lol have a great weekend
Beautiful
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
Love you projects and tutorials! Do you ever worry about lead paint on some of the older windows and pieces of wood? How do you make sure you are safe?
You can buy test kits if you are worried
Love, love, love. So amazing! Tell me how you care for, clean or store your brushes. They have, salt, mod podge different types of paints. I’d know how to save my brushes. Thank you and thank you for all your inspiration. ♥️,
Hot soapy water and air dry works best for me!
The cabinet is gorgeous 😍
Thanks
Love the dresser and the peg board project! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Definitely one of your best videos ever. Tyvm for sharing
Glad you enjoyed
I prefer little to no color except neutrals, except for maybe Christmas decor, Fall decor etc.
STUNNING!
Thank you!!
You are so brilliant how your mind works. I have learned so much. Thank you taking me alsong.
So glad you are enjoying
I have learned so much from you! Thank you from this NC girl
So happy!!❤️
Love the cabinet
Thanks 😊
Agree about painting the back of projects! It definitely gives them a professional look. I feel the same way about painting over hinges. I think it looks horrible on many items.
Yes I agree. I think it just makes it look finished and professional sometime so I am a culprit of painting hinges because depending on the project I do find that it gives it a nice rustic, primitive old look, but I know a lot of people cringe over that.
Nice! I love looking for freebie wood, too. Nice work.
Glad you enjoyed
U always have such great ideas and beautiful diys!! 😍
Thanks 😊
