#Podcast #FurnitureMakeover #ChalkPaint - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I'm so sorry Kacha. I lost my mom three years ago. It is so hard. My acting coach used to say, "Creativity is a survival instinct" very true. I'm so glad you found a way to happiness and healing. I also feel that my mom left me with a way to happiness, life is filled with mixed blessings. xoxo
Thank you Debi, I did not know that about you. It is so hard. I never even knew I was even creative until these things happened. Mixed blessings for sure, but we are blessed to do what we love. Thank you for listening! ❤️
Debi, I am so sorry about your mom, too. I remember watching a video you posted about losing your mom and I remember crying watching the video and feeling your pain and feeling that I could relate since I had recently lost my mom, too. You, like Kacha, are a huge inspiration to so many of us out here watching - thank you for sharing and keep the creativity rolling. It's one of the the best ways we can honor our moms because they always believed in us!
Deb, I too saw your video re your Mom and I felt your pain. I lost both my father and mother in 2006 and its only been in recent years that I have moved on from the extreme pain. Love your videos! Creating, painting gives me joy!
I really loved hearing your story about how you got started. I appreciate your honesty about your Mom and your passion emerging out of depression and sharing your insecurities. It is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
Thank you so much Lisa! I hope to help those struggling with my story, we all take hard hits in life and sometimes it can be hard to get back up from it.
Who knew paint could be such a deep subject? I feel your pain AND Your love for painting! And the way it makes you feel when you're done with a piece. Thank you for sharing your story and your passion. You are the main reason I started to paint, because your work inspired me above the others. YOU are what I aspire to be. Thank you Kacha please don't ever stop being YOU! Brenda P.
Thank you so much Brenda for listening! I am so blessed to be able to help others now, I remember being the one needing the help. Funny how life connects us in ways we could never imagine. ❤️
You are beautiful inside and out! And, you have the cutest personality! You make me 😆 laugh. You are very talented. Glad you listened to your honey about you tube 🤣
Thank you so much for listening to my story Shannon! ❤️
I totally feel you about lack of confidence/depression. I took Care of my mom for 5 years. Shes been gone now for 5 years but the pain is still there. I want so badly to get serious about painting furniture...but the fear of failing is so strong. Listening to your story helped. Im glad you have your hubby. He sounds like a wonderful guy. Ty
Thank you for listening! I can relate to how you feel. I can tell you that if you love to paint then you can't fail. Take it slow and enjoy the process, it takes time and trust me you will learn from it. Fighting our fear can seem impossible but once you do it's one of the greatest feelings ever. Without failure there is no happiness. I know that sounds backwards but it's true. We can't celebrate our high moments without knowing what the low moments feel like. You have already gone through what is probably the hardest part of life. I hope this helps! ❤️

I live with chronic depression and anxiety and I fully understand how healing it is to create. It's my happy place to. I thought it was so beautiful and heart-warming that you choose to see it as a blessing from your mother, that made me so happy when you said that. ❤️
Happiness is a choice. Not always an easy one but still a choice. And we all deserve it and all we can do is to continue to strive for it. Together! 😘
Anna Johansson thank you so much for listening! ❤️ I agree that happiness is a choice. Sometimes it seems like we don’t have that choice but that’s never true.
Kache.....hi there ...just watched Podcast 2 ....you don’t talk to much! You talk like a friend telling her story to another Friend....you are not only artistically gifted you have the gift of human connection! So important in the world of electronic everything....you have the gift of sharing that pulls everyone in...I am so sorry to hear about your Mother passing and about how sad you were.....very happy to see you found an outlet that brings you happiness. I lost my Dad many years ago and we were very close and shared a love of all things old....he refinished furniture....I was a nurse for 30+ yrs and got sick with Lyme Disease and now on Disability....other health issues Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue ...I have been home 10 yrs now.....3 yrs ago I started with making signs and my friend made things out of pallet wood and I did all finishing and we found a place to sell and that was therapy to get me out of the house to go fix up up my cute little booth, etc then I started watching TH-cam videos on painting furniture.....and I just fell in love with it...peaceful and makes me happy...I could really relate...so thank you for sharing😊 Kim from Delaware
Kimberly Drake wow Kim that’s so nice! Thanks for listening to my podcast and thanks for telling me about your life! So happy you found your happy place too and I’m sorry for what you’ve been through. Here in Maine lime disease is very real, we didn’t know about it before. Thank you for sharing, I’m glad your here with us! ❤️
Kacha very interested how you were inspired to start painting and tell your husband that he does a great job behind the scenes.
Thank you so much Elena! ❤️❤️
I like what you said about measuring. I am exactly same, I don’t like to measure when I cook I don’t measure when I paint.
I really like that music track you use in a lot of your videos and the beginning of this one.
Thank you so much Katy! That music track was actually created by my husband! ❤️
Finally got to watch 👀 and glad I did ... it’s truly amazing to see your confidence in how your communicating with in your own words to your audience !!
Adding your podcast is a great 👍🏻 idea and uniquely creative 😉
Sharing parts of yourself to the social media is not easy but you did and it truly shows how real and beautiful you are inside and out 🤗
When you talked about putting yourself on social media and how your husband pushed you and you resisted... I did the exact same! For a few years too! All I could think to myself was ... negative 👎 reaction from others and it would make me lose interest in doing anything creative. My husband is my wonder wall and my best friend. Being creative is my safe place and sharing was the hardest and I still have reserved moments. You have given people a place to go and open their imagination which for many is priceless ☺️
So talking from your heart both the good things and hard moments defines your creative energy and a true positive one!
I will always being cheering for you
Christina xo 😘
Thank you so much Christina! I'm glad you came by and listened to the podcast. It's definitely been a journey and it feels like were only getting started. I am happy to see you growing and opening up also, your channel is doing great! Again thanks for listening, I really appreciate it! ❤️
I'm so sorry about your mom. The grief of losing my husband suddenly is what started me on the path to paint furniture. When I paint, it lets me forget just for a while, about my broken heart. It truly is spirit healing. You've been a great inspiration for me. Thank you for all your informative videos, you're awesome!
I am so sorry about your husband. This community and channel has been very good for me also so I think we are all benefiting in the same way. You guys gave me confidence as I tried helping you learn, everyone wins! Thank you so much for listening to me and sharing your story!
I love your podcasts!! I listen to them on my drive to work and I paint on the side right now. I also started painted because of depression. Thank you so much for sharing your heart.
I wholeheartedly agree that your Mom sent you this blessing! I have battled depression for a long time and winter months are the worst! I have been inspired by you and have been putting my brush to work! I am currently working on 3 projects. I have been frozen by fear and I just decided to jump right in! Thank you sweet Kacha. You are a blessing to me!
So glad you were able to get out of that shell and paint! Have fun painting and thank you so much for sharing that with me!
Yes... there is no reason. You are a fantastic artist. Thank you for sharing your inspirational story-a joy to listen to!
Thank you so much Susan!
So sorry for your loss but glad you found an outlet to help you heal. That's great you created a business from something you love. You have a wonderful husband.😊
I agree and thank you Adra! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your heart. I’m sorry for the loss of your mom ♥️
I started painting after a sudden tragedy that was life altering . I painted to survive my grief and loss of peace . It’s been almost three years now , and I have my own little business that I work very hard to grow and inspire others . Thank you for always being an inspiration . Thank you for being authentic .
Sally Michaels Designs thank you for listening Sally. It’s very hard losing our favorite people and sometime can seem like it’s impossible to come back from. I’m glad we are always trying to find our way and help others in the process. Thank you so much for being part of the community! ❤️
I absolutely loved podcast #2!! You have been my mentor since the first video I saw of you. I love chalk painting thanks to you. Hearing your story is such an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your talent and yourself!!!
I am so blessed to be able to help others through videos, thank you so much for listening!
Thank you for sharing and being honest about your previous struggle with depression. This topic is very real to a lot of people! I'm sorry to hear about your mom,I can't even imagine, however I'm glad that you found a way to find happiness in your art! What a blessing for you and an inspiration to others. Be true to yourself and your Art!!
Beverly Goretti it’s a work in progress but I’m getting there! Thank you so much for listening to me! ❤️
Oh Kacha, I am so sorry about your mom. I can feel your pain. I can totally relate because my mom passed on 3 years ago and, just like you, the furniture and chalk paint were calling to me after she passed (it was something that I had wanted to try for a long time, but never made the time for it). I took the plunge and put my brush filled with blue paint to a big, crazy piece of furniture that I bought at an estate sale and it's been such a wonderful journey ever since. I really believe it's what helped me keep my sanity after losing my mom. I also believe that she was guiding me to this form of self expression and beauty, knowing that it would help me through the dark times and improve my life. Out of the ashes rises the Phoenix! You are an inspiration to me and to so many of us out here - please keep up the wonderful work and keep inspiring us with your stories and your art. Blessings to you and thank you for sharing how you came to be a furniture painting artist with us. Also, kudos to your husband for being your biggest fan and for pushing you gently to go on Instagram and TH-cam. He sounds like a wonderful, supportive person and I'm glad you are taking this journey together (along with your fur babies!). Blessings, Kacha!
Thank you so much Laurie! I am glad we both found some comfort in painting furniture after losing the most important person in our lives. That pain never really goes away but feeling love through our art somehow connects us to those we lost. I don't even know how that works but it does! Thanks for listening!
@@KachaFurniture I don't know how it works either, but you're right - it does! I am so glad we both found a way to bring light into our lives through furniture and paint. Thank you for your inspiration! I look forward to your videos every Friday and I love your new podcast. Keep shining your light!
Thank you for sharing your story. I too lost my mom in 2013 & that was the most heartbreaking feeling. You have a beautiful talent & I’m so happy to find you. I pray for your continue success. God bless you
Wanda Delacruz thanks for listening Wanda. Losing our moms makes us stronger and more great full people but it’s still not easy and I don’t think that’ll ever go away. ❤️
OMG Kacha as many others on here I too have had a shock diagnosis with my Mum and this has sent me into a tailspin. You have no idea what an inspiration you are, I found your channel just after you started have just love your creations and the teaching you give us. You are such a lovely person. Kuddos to your hubby too!
Mandy BEWKES oh I’m so sorry to hear that Mandy. It’s so hard to receive any negative news on those who we cherish and love the most. I wish you the best and thank you for listening to me. You have seen our growth and I am glad to have you in our community! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

So sorry to hear about your mom and your struggles with depression and insecurity. But I'm very grateful that you have a husband who encourages and supports you, that's wonderful to hear!! You are an artist, you have so much talent. I am in awe of what you do. I really enjoy your videos and podcasts and I look forward to watching them every week.

Thank you for listening Kelly!
You're a great inspiration! Thank you for sharing about yourself. You truly have talent. You motivate me!
So glad you enjoy the podcast!
I absolutely LOVED this podcast! Thank you for sharing this very personal side of yourself. I, too, deal with depression time to time as part of my bipolar disorder. The illness prevents me from working a regular full-time job but I’m finding peace in my creative process. I’m so happy to have discovered your channel several weeks ago because I’ve learned so much from you and it has reinvigorated that fire in me to get my paint brushes back out. 🥰
Staci Hartman thank you for listening and thank you for sharing that Staci! We are all unique and have our ups and downs. Finding that love inside is where I think we can relate and find some happiness. I am glad you got some fire back, enjoy the process and have fun painting! ❤️
Love you & your podcasts!!!! “ measure in my head” 🤣
pam nusky lol, drives my husband crazy too! ❤️
So happy I found you! I recently was battling depression from a failed relationship. I started watching a few videos on furniture re-purposing . It put me in another world and became my therapeutic happiness. I love your work, and you have inspired me to hopefully start a small business for myself. Thank you for just being you!! You are very inspiring. ❤❤
Loved your comments and its great you have come to you tube to make people happy and interested in creating.
Matt Conrad thank you so much for listening Matt. I am very glad I made that decision too!
Watch your videos, i always love your works, now hear your story, its very inspiration. Stay strong and beautiful as you are!
luann nguyen thank you so much for listening to me ❤️
I feel the same way about the loss of my Mom. So sorry ! This and the first podcast is so great, realing enjoying them. Thank you, Valerie
Hello Kacha!
I just wanted to let you know that you are doing such a great job and you are so inspiring to me! You are really brave to tell us about your story. And I love your accent! East European girls rock!
Greetings and kisses from Germany
Isabel Lutumba thank you so much for listening Isabel! ❤️ Eastern Europe does rock lol!
Thank you! I was always creative but got away from it as I got older. A very painful situation and depression took me back to it but this time it was on furniture! Then I would post pics and people would ask if I was selling. I learn so much from you and others. Please keep sharing your beautiful self and creations! 💙💜💚
April Jordan that is so awesome April! Very similar to my situation, it feels so good to have an outlet. Thank you so much for listening! ❤️
One very honest and to the point Podcast. It is true that if you do something that you love it will show through and yes it is a lot of work. Your work is beautiful and it is always a joy to watch the projects in action. I always think that being creative hurts no one. It is a very honest way of making a living. Good Luck to both of you.
Tina D thank you Tina! It can be hard but I think that when you love something you don’t even realize how hard your working because it doesn’t feel like work to you! It’s all the other stuff (non painting related) that can feel like work. Thank you so much for listening to my podcast! ❤️
Thanks for everything, you and your husband.
Thank you for listening Martha! ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your story. You are an enormous inspiration x
You are absolutely amazing! Such a strong woman, you made your hardships turn you into a beautiful and talented person. ❤
You could never talk to much, every pod cast is a lesson, people that want to learn will embrace your knowledge and experiences. Please tell your husband to Keep up the great work!
Now, on a more serious note. . Let's hear it for Duke! Oh what a sweet baby, I just can't get enough of him🥰
Thank you for sharing your time with us♡
Nikki Lloyd thank you so much for listening Nikki! Duke gets more and more requests each week lol, someone needs to send him an entertainment contract lol. 🐶❤️
@@KachaFurniture lol. . That's cuz he is such a sweet baby♡

Thank you for sharing your story. I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. You are so right, painting is definitely therapeutic. I am also trying to start a business. Would love to hear more tips on that. I love the mustard color!
Thank you for listening Pattie! We will definitely discuss much more about making money with Chalk Paint. I will cover some more in next weeks video/podcast. ❤️

Thank you for your story and your instructions love your work
Thank you so much for watching!
You're a beautiful blessing to all of us!!
Thank you so much for listening! ❤️
So sorry for the loss of your Mom. It is a hard thing, I know too. You are a wonderful person, and so inspiring. You are a beautiful person. I'm getting into the furniture painting and thinking about selling a few pieces. I'll continue to watch all your videos!
So sorry to hear about your mom. I can definitely relate to paint therapy though. My mom was the queen of going to and having garage sales since I can remember so my love of furniture was passed on😊 She can’t do it anymore but I still do and about 3 yrs ago I started painting. I work full time on a job that I’ve been on for 20 years and it’s very stressful so painting is my escape and I truly enjoy it! Thank you for sharing your story and I look forward to your future podcasts and videos🥰
That's so nice you and your mom are still doing it! I can imagine how much you love it putting in all that time while holding a full-time job. Thank you so much for listening! ❤️
Thank you for being so honest. You are an inspiration. We have a lot in common. In fact, at times it sounded like you were sharing my story! I'm so happy that you have found your way to the other side of the darkness and are able to help others. I'm loving your podcasts.
Thanks so much for listening to me Donna! ❤️❤️
❤️ thank you for sharing!
EmmaMVZ thank you for listening Emma! ❤️

Kacha great job! Loved hearing business end of things. I will be thrilled listening to anything and everything! I'm just starting on my adventure so all is useful. I just watched a video and someone is going to be sending you some of Debi’s DIY paint and would love to hear an unbiased review on that brand. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Thank you Kathleen! I am very much looking forward to trying her paint and you will for sure hear my thoughts and watch me use it!

God Bless Your Beautiful Heart and Soul ✨🙏 Losing my parents, especially my mother was extremely hard and suddenly as well. Your vulnerability, passion and creative talent comes through to allow you to Shine so Bright! So Happy you have a Wonderful Husband who sees what we all do! To me having support and understanding from him is such a Blessing, not to mention the Happiness you both obviously share, which is Priceless ❤️
I’m always so Happy when I watch you paint, I believe you’re finally realizing just How Talented you Are.. and now here you are with a Podcast, Awesome 🌷 Next, it will be the Kacha Show on a Major Network - the World is Waiting 💐
Thanks Pamela! I think well just end up making our own show here on TH-cam LOL! We are having fun and that's so important, thank you so much for listening to my podcast! ❤️
Thank you for sharing about your previous depression and your mum. It must have been incredibly hard.
I'm very close to my mum. So I feel for you how hard it must have been.
I suffer from depression and anxiety so I'm on medication every day.
So it means a lot when someone speaks honestly about it xx
Aimee Lawrence at Wild Craft thank you so much for listening to the podcast. It was and still is tough but life must go on. I am sorry about your depression and anxiety. I hope you are able to find things you love that can help you deal with those. I am very thankful chalk paint did it for me and it’s been all I do ever since. To some people it might seem a little extreme but it’s kept me happy and motivated for the most part! Thanks for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love you K! Thanks for your support!
Thank you for sharing your story, I love your work and you are a great inspiration to me. :)
Thank you so much for listening Amy! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story -- I love your accent -- My grandfather came to the USA from Sicily -- and it was harder to understand him. I have watched your from the beginning -- and loved watching you paint and it has inspired me to try some of your techniques -- I am not as far as you are but I am growing every day -- I am really sorry for the loss of your mother
Carrie Fetes thank you for listening and we are all growing everyday! It’s fun to see the process and connect with you guys at the same time! Have fun painting! ❤️
♥️your story !!! Hugs!!! We love grey in Ohio 🤣
Thanks for listening Julie! ❤️
juliefeathers If you’re talking about the never ending grey skies in the winter here in Ohio I’m not a fan. 😉 Just kidding. This is good to know. I’m always try I g to figure out colors besides white.
Staci Hartman I really like layering colors
Thank you so much for the inspiration.
Really enjoying your podcast. So much info, and it's nice to hang out with you while you just chat away. Shame you've stopped the podcast, but I do also watch yr vids.
I know I am very late but I am just learning about you losing your mother and it changing your life. I completely understand that. This June will be 7 years since I lost my mother. I am sorry for your loss. That is a wound that never heals. Thank you for sharing ❤
I love your work. I’m sorry for your lose but your mother is always with you with each stroke of paint.
Judy Barrett that you Judy! I feel that way also. ❤️
Be kind to your people! Yes!
Christina Muscari yes! Always be kind to others is something I live by! Thank you so much for listening to the podcast Christina! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bless you Kacha...💖
I had been in depression for almost 5 years... I know what you are talking about..
But it's not such bad ... My friend got severe depression, till stayed in hospital from half year till now... Depression can kill people...
Bless you
❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏. You are amazing!!!
ΜΑΡΙΑ ΜΠΛΑΝΝΙΝΓΚ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so inspired by you and I myself want to start a TH-cam channel and have had many reservations on my ideas which are very similar with painting and other design kinds of Matters please keep up the Podcast so that we can learn from you, you are so talented and so interesting
Thank you so much! ❤️
I paint also because of depression and anxiety. It is a release for me :) I lost both my parents and I'm an only child... I understand the feeling you felt. I just need believe in myself to sell my piece now
Thanks for listening Dona! You may be surprised at what can happen when you list them for sale. It takes a little bit to understand the pricing in your area, but eventually you'll figure it out!
Kacha ~ Thank you so much for sharing your heart & your Story. I know that your beautiful Mom is sooo proud of you & with you everyday. ❤️ You have an amazing talent & I'm so happy you've let nothing stop you from sharing, teaching & blessing others with it. You are definitely on the path that God meant for you. I look forward to every video & podcast 😊
I would love to see what you create using DYI paint by Debi from Debi's Design Diary on TH-cam
Thank you Lindsey, I am so happy you enjoy listening to me! ❤️ I finally got my hands on some DIY paint so it is coming very soon!
Ma Kraljica si stvarno! Samo nastavi tako 🍀
Tatjana Barisic Hvala puno ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story! I lost my mom way too soon too and I feel your pain. 🙏 I love painting and creating too...it just
makes me happy, makes me block out my worries, and makes me feel special in some small way. My question to you is where is a good place to sell furniture?
Thank you so much for listening Linda! Right now I am having the best luck on Facebook marketplace, but it really depends on your area. You can check out various apps like offer up or let go as well, and craigslist!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. You're a beautiful person, inside and out....and such an inspiration ❤
I'd like to know where you find the pieces you paint? Do you and your husband travel to flea markets, thrift stores, antique stores, etc...?
Thank you Dana! We hunt them down anywhere we can really, it gets very tough during the winter. Luckily we have some vendors that we have gotten to know that help us out lots. I will cover this in the future in a podcast as well, but yeah pretty much anywhere we can. Stores, shops, local families, auctions etc...
Where do you find all of your pieces? They are SO BEAUTIFUL!! Here, most furniture for sale is junk...thank you and keep up the great work! I love that you have music & not a lot of talking, I switched from Debi to you because of that, plus, your style is closer to mine than hers is.
Well Debi is an awesome person, we love her! Thanks for watching my videos! P.S. Ive been talking much more lately lol! ❤️
In 2005 I Lost 5 family members with in 5 months. It about destroyed me. Then I had medical problems. I started working even at evening because I did not want to be home. My dogs brought me back to reality, they did not ask for me to ignore them. Then after Christmas, one of my dogs passed. I slipped over the the edge again. I thought of seeking help with a medium. She instructed me on how to help my self, and to watch for a puppy to come my way. Three months later I was called to rescue a puppy,(schnauzer just like the one I lost) God moves in mysterious ways. I started coming out of my depression when I brought my new puppy home. I started painting, this was 15 years ago. Thank you for your story, I believe a lot of us go through life changing situations. It all about accepting our losses and find new thing to look forward to and for us to look at things differently. Thank you again.
Aww thanks for sharing your story Kacha. I started crying when you mentioned your Mom and getting depressed. My Dad died a bit back and i felt very sad and lost. Losing a parent is so life changing. He was a big support in my life. When i saw your you tubes one day i just lit up and must have watched about 15 in a row... all day lol.
I can stick to only small tables that i can p/u myself so... yep i sold about 3 and have about 4 done and about 6 unpainted... all in my apartment lol. But for some reason my next 4 aren't selling. So maybe I will repaint them. But I think they're super cute!
So thought Id try Etsy. But having trouble figuring it out and the shipping part. I think i found a gal on you tube though as she's emailed me back. Im hoping she can help me sort out all that.
But i knew i saw your you tubes for a reason and hearing your story made perfect sense why ❤️❤️😊
Thank you for listening Angela! ❤️ I wish I could figure out shipping to. It seems like a nightmare to ship a dresser across the country. I get asked a lot but I have yet to figure out how to do it reasonably priced.
@@KachaFurniture oh ok then! Im not the only one lol. Im Angela's Painted Shenanigans on IG btw. I love your painting 💕
So i messaged Lauras Design a while (I think you know who she is on IG?) and asked her about how she ships (she's based in New York). She said yes ppl are willing to pay shipping charges. She gave me an idea and said one dresser she shipped cost about $600. But they pay it she said. She also pallets up her items/wraps them etc and has a hubby/wife team that ships them across the States.
I was amazed someone would pay that much but she's popular and so are you. Im sure ppl would pay for shipping for your pieces!
But ya alot of work lol. You are doing great as is though 😊
Nice! Your mama is proud! Thanks for sharing a little biography about you, and I can only imagine the amount of work that goes into YouTubing; you need to introduce the man behind the camera at some point. I too restore furniture, It’s a side hobbissness for me, and my husband is my best helper, the only thing he has no clue about staging ☺️
Thank you so much for listening Ninna! That's awesome that your husband helps you to. My husband is also horrible at staging lol :) ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story with us. May God rest in peace the soul of your mother! Serbian people are Orthodox people with big feat and great saints. I wish all they to protect you in the far strange land you are now and may Lord Jesus Christ bless you with all your beloved and your work!!
I love your channel💝😊
Thank you so much! ❤️
i measure everything with my eye tooooo 🤣🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💋♥️
You were one of the first people I saw use Waverly Curry yellow and that decided the color for my colonial secretary. Have you tried to use natural sea sponge instead of brush for texturing? This is what we use to repair the texture on walls or add a faux leather look to the top of furniture. Walmart also has furniture onlay appliques that really dress up a plain piece. Have you ever used? Podcasts are informative and fun. Thanks.
I have tried that sponge technique, it's pretty cool. I am now used to doing everything with a brush and I love it! I have seen those appliques in Walmart but haven't purchased them, they do look very cool! Thanks for listening to the podcast!
You are so cute! Thank you for sharing personal information about you. I too have lost my Mom and at any age its very hard. I have a lot of home projects I want to tackle but I tend to freak out about what technique to use or what colors to use and so they just sit. I currently have a china hutch painted all in Dixie belle drop cloth. It's pretty but boring and I just can't figure out what to add. I haven't added any wax yet and I know that will make a difference but do you have any suggestions? I like the farmhouse look. I thought about dry brushing but normally a dark color is the base instead of a light color...any suggestions would be appreciated! Unfortunately I am not a visionary like you, I have to see something and then I get ideas from that. Sorry for the rambling!❤️
Cheryl Tiefenthaler it’s really your decision based off what you like. You can distress since you want that farmhouse look. Sometimes that’s all a piece needs. You can try playing with some black wax and add some depth. You can try some gray dry brushing. That can look cool. You can even distress that too! The possibilities are endless it’s really a question of what you like. Remember you can always fix it and go back if you don’t like it! Thank you for listening to the podcast! ❤️
Kacha Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. ((Hugs))
Hi Kacha! I am getting a lot out of your podcast; thanks for sharing! I have a question, what video software does your husband use to edit the video? Thanks again!
He uses Adobe Premiere but there are much cheaper and easier options out there, like iMovie!
Kacha, Kacha, Kacha!!!! I’m in exactly the same place you were when your Mom died. Mine died 7 years ago and being a grow woman I’m embarrassed to say “I miss my Mommy” haha but I do!!! Since you are doing these pods cast, go through your Instagram. How you got set up and started selling stuff. I have a little Etsy account with 5 items but I have a garage full of furniture that I need to paint and then, what? Curve side it! Haha share that with us! Please! Thanks!
It's very hard losing our most loved people :( but we have to keep moving in life. We will definitely discuss more about the business of selling furniture. I would say start with Facebook marketplace to sell in your community!
I do sell on FB but around here people want cheap. Maybe I need to stage better or market myself differently which I have to learn. Thank you for your reply! We’ll stay in touch. I love the view! Im in Florida and is always the same around here. Just beaches and palm trees! Haha 💕💕
@@flybarbflybarb8227 im having the same situation where I live. I sold my first 3 items within a week of posting but now i have 4 items on and... nothing! So weird. I am trying to get Etsy set up but omg.. I dont understand the setting up of the account lol I dont get how to set up the delivery? We have bigger items and it wouldn't be thru Cda Post or USPS. Anyway i will figure it out im sure lol
Angela Wallman I’ve been watching TH-cam on Etsy. One thing I learned that we need to post a product a day and have 50 items on your shop and words of SEO. Anyway, youtube it! Is just sitting there and having time!!! Haha keep us posted!!
@@flybarbflybarb8227 oh i don't paint an item a day though? I wouldn't have anywhere to store 50 painted items in my apartment. Im more just hobby/spare time... but have to find another way to sell other than rely on only FB MarketPlace.
I will plod on and watch some more Etsy You Tubes! Lol
please i have a question .. when you use annie sloan paint how long you wait between coats , on container it is written it takes 24h to dry , as you have experience is it necessary to wait to let it dry 24h OR can apply second coat in same day few hours after first coat ...thank you for your answer .
It all depends on your climate where you live. For me it's about 1 hour. Once it looks dry and feels dry it's probably safe to add the second coat, you should not have to wait 24 hours!
I like to here about the business side of things. I also flip furniture. Like to learn how to start a you tube channel
you are so sweet ... your life is so lucky :)
P.S. Im guessing one of your surprise guests will be Debi.
Przypuszczam,że pochodzisz ze środkowej Europy 👍
Jestem z Serbii!
@@KachaFurniture wiedziałem że Słowiańska krew w tobie płynie. Amazing work .Good Luck 👍😃.....
