    Hello Taryn! The way you present/ edit your videos are perfectly fine. Do what's easiest and stay true to you and your way of creating. Yes, I work in this manner when possible. It does save time.
    Your revamps turned out beautiful, as always. Thanks for providing us with your best every time. You're truly appreciated.
    Is your son excited about becoming an older brother? Take care of yourself and Baby. 😊

      Thank you! Will do, Terri! And yes, Lucas is overjoyed about getting to finally be a big brother. And he’s already so sweet to all his baby cousins that he’s going to be a little champ when baby finally gets here. It will be fun watching him grow into that role.

    Hi Taryn, love all of these projects, I have some plum black I was thinking would look beautiful as a base color on those little shelves with the flowers. My sister used to have a ceramic shop, that's where I spent my days off, working there, that's where I learned dry brushing, waxing, staining, mixing colors... I see you work on those smalls and it brings me back...love it all...Take care...cheers !!! ...🍁 🍁

    Thank you for the tutorial seeing the subtle difference between white wax and using a dry brush. I love the hanging planter with the added clay embellishments and the coppery greenish patina it really looks a hundred years old. The metallic powder on the flower shelves creates a dreamy rich look to them. Classy magic! B~}

    What is the brand of paints you are using? Are they chalk paint, milk paint or acrylic? Loved each item but especially the shelves.

    • @elegantupgrades
      @elegantupgrades  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      My go to is always Chalk Mountain Furniture Paint.
      amzn.to/4abeC7g
      It’s what I used on this video and almost every one of my other videos.
      I’ve recently busted out some old milk paint that I had and that’s been fun, too. It’s the Farmhouse Finishes one that has a bond in it already so there’s less of a chance of chipping.
