Since the foot rest has a raisable lid the underside of the upholstery should be finished too. Fold back the edges of the flowered print cloth then attach a contrasting or a complimentary piece of cloth over the bare wood. You could have painted the wood before doing the upholstery. I always look at the bottom of pieces I know have been altered. I prefer to put felt on the bottoms, and legs of items. It is a nice touch. When it comes to adding a new aspect, it doesn't make sense to me to add distressing. The rooster looks new but what it is attached to looks old. Same with the foot rest. Also, scuff sanding would be the best thing to do before painting. I like the products used and I like the design ideas as well as the idea of keeping things out of landfills.
Just found you and subscribed. Loved all of them. I’ve been collecting thrifted things and waiting to find time to work on them. In the meantime I love watching these videos at night in bed. Tyfs
Once again everything was beautiful. But I’m partial to anything chicken or rooster since I’ve collected them for years. Love all the chicken and rooster things you do!! The plant stand was a really good idea and came out amazing, and so did the sewing footstool. The yellow fabric is pretty, but I can’t wait to see you use the cute chicken fabric on something!! Go figure. Lol.
I wondered across your videos and have watched you a couple of times. I think your designs are nice but I’m curious why you don’t finish the underside of things particularly the stool you reupholstered? Since that stool opens for storage it would look much nicer if it’s finished off a little more whether you simply paint it first then turn under all of the raw edges of fabric before stapling or cover the underside after stapling with felt/fabric/scrapbook paper anything to make it look more finished would be very nice.
Honestly, I didn't perfect the underside of the stool top because it doesn't open wide enough that anyone will ever see it. If it did I would have done things a little differently. :) Thank you for your feedback, though! And thank you for watching!!
I love this video ❤. You created beautiful pieces! I was looking at all the background pieces in video …. So gorgeous!! I liked and subscribed and will absolutely be back. Please keep creating. It pushes me and I’m sure others like me to get up and create❤
Waxing seals the paint and protects the wood. Mineral based paints are usually pretty porous and can be reactivated if they get wet, so they need to be sealed.....I like the look and feel of wax so it is my preferred finish, although other topcoats would work too.
My favorite was the table. I enjoyed all these projects.
I am happy you enjoyed them! Thank you for watching!! :)
All of your pieces turned out great! I especially love the way the plant stand/table turned out.
Thank you! :)
I love the fabric on the stool as well and the table is my favorite to😍
That fabric is pretty fun. :) Thank you! And thanks for watching!!
Great job with the plant stand!! It’s gorgeous!
Thank you!! 😊

The plant stand is my fav!
Mine too! :)
Wobbly leg can be fixed by placing a toothpick or two in the hole along with the glue. Beautiful projects!
I think I've seen that done - good idea! Thanks for watching! :)
The table is a favorite! I have done the exact same thing and it worked out great. I have used it for several years now.
Thank you! :)
Love all these projects!
Thank you so much!
Love the footstool!
Thank you!!
Loved them all ❤
Yay! Thank you!
Both piece are great👍
Thank you!
The stools it beautiful
Thank you!
Nice! I liked the distressing parts. And the design on the bench with storage, is so clever.
Thank you! :)
All of them were awesome I think the table was my favorite you have such a wonderful imagination I just came across your Channel
Thanks so much! 😊
Great job on all 3 ...but white plant table is my favorite. 💗
Thank you! I was happy with how it came out! :)
Hard to choose I liked them all
Lol.....me too. :)
I liked the stool the best.
I do love the way that came out . . . so happy I had that fabric on hand!! :)
I’m going to make a point of finding your shop on my next trip to Spokane! I can’t wait!
That would be awesome! :)
Love the stool. I'm always bring them home. The extra storage is a plus. I see my grandsons keeping there small toys safe.
My grandson is incessantly stashing things in every nook and cranny when he comes to visit me at my shop! Lol
I really li’e Ii really like the distressing.
Thank you!! Thanks for watching!
I agree with you about taking off old fabric before you put on the new. It just seems like it would be cleaner that way
I always worry about old fabric, so I tend to always remove it. Sometimes my husband gets volunteered for that chore though! :)
I think the little white table, which would be a plant stand for me is my favorite.
I was just really happy to have made something usable out of what I thought didn't make a lot of sense. Lol
Love the table. How did you attach it together
I used Gorilla Construction Adhesive. :)
Loved them all! The stool was the bomb😻
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!! :)

Hi I've just found your channel and subscrbed I love your work
Well welcome!! And thank you!! :)
All of them turned out beautiful. Love the foot stool the best. Would you sell that piece?
I sell all of my pieces. I have just not gotten quite to the point of shipping them though! :)
I love this video ❤. You created beautiful pieces! I was looking at all the background pieces in video …. So gorgeous!! I liked and subscribed and will absolutely be back. Please keep creating. It pushes me and I’m sure others like me to get up and create❤
That is very kind of you to say! Thanks so much for watching. :)
How did you attach the table top?
I attached it with gorilla construction adhesive. :)
What did you use to attach the tray to the plant stand. I love it it’s so pretty!
I just used gorilla construction adhesive. :) Thank you!!!
They are all super cute but I do really like the white table as well. What does the waxing do for the wood and the paint?
Waxing seals the paint and protects the wood. Mineral based paints are usually pretty porous and can be reactivated if they get wet, so they need to be sealed.....I like the look and feel of wax so it is my preferred finish, although other topcoats would work too.
I'm wondering how you adhere the tray to the plant stand.
@@nancychannel8513 I used Gorilla Glue construction adhesive.
Why not finish the fabrics to a nice finish?
I did end up going in and folding the sides and front parts of the fabric under and gluing it to make the edges a little more complete. :)
Disappointed you didn't show how you attached the tray to the stand.
I ran out of time unfortunately. I just used Gorilla construction adhesive. :)
