I learned more in this 15 minute video than any of the TH-camrs I've watched for months and your makeovers are gorgeous. Im going to now binge watch the rest of your videos now. LOL.
I love your honesty about 'not being responsible enough for expensive brushes'...I've always said that about me and sunglasses! Love your videos! Gorgeous piece!
This piece looks so regal with the purple and gold. What a beautiful mixture of colors. Great video on blending. The transfer on the front also sets it up. Thanks !!
I used to make wedding & party cakes...did it for 15 years so I have LOTS of gorgeous molds...plus, I've been painting furniture for years but they didn't have chalk paint and all I did was paint things. NOW, I am so excited seeing this incredible creations so I am resetting my home to accommodate being able to do this...maybe enough to create interest enough for a business again.
I am the exact same with brushes. As hard as I try and wash immediately, my adhd does not always allow me to. I get distracted and forget so easily. This is beautiful. Purple is my favorite color and was looking for something to use it on. Think I’ll try my jewelry armoire.
June 1, 2021. I just found your channel from watching and loving Katcha’s channel. Love your beautiful work, as wel. Tonight’s music is so lovely and goes well with your talents.
I bli be you have a teacher heart. I think it comes naturally to you. You explain things others don’t. Like the transfer. You said who the maker is but also where you bought it. You told us the gliding wax you put on won’t come off. I always wonder about that. I thought putting a spray of clear lacquer would be good.
Wow! I saw this piece, I'm in love with the antiques, especially this design. I'm an old soul, I too would have snatched this up. I'm so happy u did and gave it new life. I'm new to ur podcast, I used to refurbish furniture 30yrs ago, when it wasn't popular. I love watching ur creativity come out in ur designs and colors. U r brave for making ur own embellishments out of bondo and a mold. I never used transfer paper either, I used stencils. I would have painted the legs gold too. That was my go to for antiques, lol. The sealer product, wow! Love it, I will be gettingthat and the wax. I love the finished product, I bet that piece was scarfed up!
Gosh, not only are you attractive but your creative work is absolutely stunning. I love the colors. I use to be an automotive custom painter at one time for years and I use to blend multiple paint colors in a similar way but with using different spray guns. In this case if sprayed, the colors would have been applied in reverse order from main pink to dark purple outlining. Then airbrush the gold or apply with a finger as you did. Some of the furniture you refurbish on your videos are gorgeous. Some pieces look Victorian, America Victorian, or Cottage Style. I bet furniture restorers would be claiming sacrilegious for painting over wood...lol. As you probably know, you can get stains to produce a similar effect but with the added bonus of seeing the wood grains showing through as stains are semi transparent. Interestingly, it would be similar to how they blend colors on guitars and seeing the fire maple wood grain beneath the mirror like finish. Well anyway, that is some mighty fine work you do dear. Almost forgot to mention that I flip furniture too. Especially when my computer crashes...lol.
Thank you so much! I can’t even imagine blending with spray gun and air brush😯 you must be very talented. I do get a lot of backlash from wood restoration enthusiasts but I don’t take pieces that are in excellent condition I take pieces that are ready to be thrown away. I’ve passed on so many beautiful pieces because I just couldn’t go through with painting them. Thanks for all your kind words and thanks for watching☺️
oh wow, do you spray blend your furniture or was that just vehicles back in the day? if so, would really love to see you in action, cos nobody out there in YT does that. you should do a video and put it on youtube then :D wow.....
Yep, it's the "gilding" that pushes it over the edge, too gaudy for me. But your restoration is so good, even if it is only a leg. Nice work Amy, don't see many with your skill base on these furniture flipping TH-cam videos : )
I don’t just like, I love this video. How many times have u done blending? I am scared to give it a go, but you inspire us. R u selling this piece? It would beautify any room.
Thank you!!! I’ve done blending many times now. I practiced and practiced. Blending didn’t come easy to me. It took a While before it clicked but we all have to start somewhere. The important part is that we just start! I kept this piece. I’ve sold most of my furniture over the years so now I’m trying to keep some pieces so my house isn’t empty😂
Best tutorial I've seen yet and your piece came out beautifully. Thanks for the lesson in blending because I've only seen one other blend so confidently with fantastic results, and that, is Brushed by Brandy. You're awesome. BTW.. been wanting to start looking into flipping myself. So enjoy the refurbishment and using my imagination to create. Thought I could make myself a small livable income but I just am stumped on how to find out who my customers would be. How do you ask that question? If/when I do ask, all I get is places to shop. The first thing you have to do is find out your clientele after all and I can't get past the question. Can you give me any advise... please.
Thank you so much! Your comment means so much to me 😊 Brushed by Brandy is the master blender lol she’s amazing! A great way to start selling is to post your Pieces on Facebook marketplace. I had most of my luck selling on Facebook marketplace. I have been selling on it since they made it. It’s a great avenue. Another way to sell is to make a Facebook page strictly for your furniture. If you’re not an official business it’s called a fan page. If you get family or friends to Follow your page soon enough friends of friends and people from the neighborhood will start seeing your furniture. I wish I would’ve started that sooner. You can even post your items our neighborhood groups like buy/sell/trade groups. Once your name starts getting out there people will just start following your page and you’ll get exposure. That way when someone is looking for your style of painting they will know where to find it. I am opening a booth in the painted tree market place that’s opening next month so if you do not feel comfortable selling out of your house you can always look at antique booths, shops or boutiques close to you. You will have to give them a small commission or pay rent for the space. After time selling on marketplace you will know if your stuff sells quickly. That might mean it’s worth it. So basically You just have to promote your furniture and with time your clients will come to you!
@@FlipItFurniture well I can't thank you enough for that incentive. A lot of people don't answer the question back and I thought maybe they would look at me as competition but I live in a tiny little town in Massachusetts and I can barely get out of my own way. Thank you for being such a good person. From the heart... may God bless you in everything you do. Lisa
The painted tree marketplace keeps opening new locations. There’s one in Georgia,Tennessee, Texas and Illinois. There’s more locations but I’m not sure where they are located. Maybe they will open up one close to you soon. It’s like a giant Etsy store but not online.
Here to get ideas for a jewelry armoire that really needs madeover. I was wondering about sanding. Is that something you find optional? By the way, liked and subscribed to your channel! ❤️
Sweetie what 2 colors do you mix to make that Beautiful purple...I keep rewinding and rewinding and for the life of me I can't hear the colors...thank you so much😊👍❤️
@@FlipItFurniture thank you love ..I have an armoire similar to URS and I LOVE the colors and theme...So I'm going to Kindve Copy...BUT I'm gonna play with the different shades of purples (especially ur Custom mix) and Do an Alice in wonderland themed. ..wish me luck hahah...thank you so much as you always help me and I appreciate you 😊❤️👍
The transfer was overkill. You had done a beautiful job before then. The gold and the custom color was just enough. You need to be more patient and allow for products to fully dry and cure. You will get an optimum piece in the end. Perfection takes time and patience.
You make a great point! I think I was just trying to Envision my overall result. I put the knobs on and I wanted to test out how I would lay my transfers. The only reason I didn’t remove the drawers was because they do not come out.
Beautiful except (don't laugh) I'm trying to learn how to do this, I haven't a clue as to what you were spraying, is that aerosol water, I've never seen anything like that other than the type of spritzer used to set make-up? The one you were using looked like a nice mist that wouldn't cause bubbles, The one product I'm not familiar with there's not a shot of the front of the can, or you don't say what it is......grr : )
Somehow I missed this one! Beautiful work and I’m not trying to be mean, it is a French word. But I hope you’ve learned how to pronounce aubergine since this video.
Stunning!
I learned more in this 15 minute video than any of the TH-camrs I've watched for months and your makeovers are gorgeous. Im going to now binge watch the rest of your videos now. LOL.

Hello, very nice! Love the blending. That.’s what I want to learn how to do, is to blend. I am a beginner.
Thank you! Just go for it! Practice a ton and have fun with it and before you know it you’ll find yourself blending on all your projects 🤣
Beautiful pice 😍😍😍 great video 🤩 thank you ❤️
Thank you!
Yep, it's the "gilding" that pushes it over the edge, too gaudy for me. But your restoration is so good, even if it is only a leg. Nice work Amy, don't see many with your skill base on these furniture flipping TH-cam videos : )

Sweetie what 2 colors do you mix to make that Beautiful purple...I keep rewinding and rewinding and for the life of me I can't hear the colors...thank you so much😊👍❤️
Oh, sorry about that! It's Aubergine and plum crazy 50/50
@@FlipItFurniture thank you love ..I have an armoire similar to URS and I LOVE the colors and theme...So I'm going to Kindve Copy...BUT I'm gonna play with the different shades of purples (especially ur Custom mix) and Do an Alice in wonderland themed. ..wish me luck hahah...thank you so much as you always help me and I appreciate you 😊❤️👍
What kind of brush you’re using for blending?
Wow this is amazing! Love the color pallet. Is it too nosy to ask to see the inside too?
Your right. I should have recorded the inside! Next time. It was a green velvet on the inside in good condition so I did not replace it.
Not a purple girl but this is Beautiful😍
Thank you! It’s funny you say that because I’m usually not either. This piece drew me to use purple! It just all fit 💜
The transfer was overkill. You had done a beautiful job before then. The gold and the custom color was just enough. You need to be more patient and allow for products to fully dry and cure. You will get an optimum piece in the end. Perfection takes time and patience.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love this piece and wouldn’t change a thing💜
Why did you put the knobs on and then take them off? Wouldn’t you want remove the drawers first before applying the topcoat?
You make a great point! I think I was just trying to Envision my overall result. I put the knobs on and I wanted to test out how I would lay my transfers.
The only reason I didn’t remove the drawers was because they do not come out.
What is in the aerosol can that you spray before the second coat and occasionally thereafter?
That’s a water mister. If you occasionally spray water when you’re using chalk paint it’s really easy to blend and helps avoid brush strokes.
Beautiful except (don't laugh) I'm trying to learn how to do this, I haven't a clue as to what you were spraying, is that aerosol water, I've never seen anything like that other than the type of spritzer used to set make-up? The one you were using looked like a nice mist that wouldn't cause bubbles, The one product I'm not familiar with there's not a shot of the front of the can, or you don't say what it is......grr : )
i would say it is just plain water in a generic spray bottle.. you are over thinking it lol :)
It’s a water mister. It helps to move around your chalk paint and reduce brushstrokes amzn.to/3wBBcCB
Beautiful piece ! Is it for sale?
Thank you! I ended up keeping this one💜
What are those types of transfers called if I want to search for some online?
They are furniture transfers by Redesign with Prima. I buy mine on Etsy. There is a huge selection.
Please tell me what brushes you are using from Home Depot
These are the Shortcut Wooster brushes🙂
Somehow I missed this one! Beautiful work and I’m not trying to be mean, it is a French word. But I hope you’ve learned how to pronounce aubergine since this video.
I had to laugh about your brushes comment. We might be related, I three 3 brushes away yesterday
Hahaha too funny!! I threw one away yesterday 🤣
Did you say you put gorilla glue on your finger
Dang you didn't sand it or prime it or anything.. I went to HD and they were like ... You need to sand it, condition it, prime it.....
Beautiful.
