@@kimadams446 Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰

@@jackieostrander9667 That’s a very wise idea! I’m not really a tester, I’m usually a ‘let’s do it and we’ll deal with the consequences later’ person 🤣 It’s been in my garage for over a month now and so far it’s going strong 💪 ☺️

@@patbolstad3701 Thank you so much 🥰🥰

@@buttonsjunior1131 Thank you 🥰 Sounds great! Let me know how it goes 😁

@@alyb8058 Thank you so much! I love it too! 😍 I’m a bit scared of colours but this one was soo pretty 😍🥰🥰

@@alyb8058 Thank you so much! 🥰🥰 I didn’t know about that of the soy sauce, I will look into it. It does seem like a very interesting topic, I like to learn more about it 😍 I am just starting to get used to the brush and roller combination too, I fully agree that it leaves such a beautiful factory-like finish! I find that roller sometimes leaves so many bubbles when you use it on its own, but didn’t figure out why. Do you have any tip for that? ☺️

@@leavesongrass thank you 🥰 it’s not bright blue, it’s a blue-grey colour ☺️ I find it difficult to capture the true colours of the pieces 🙈

@@luisb9387 Really good question! 😍 Yes, it’s highly recommended, because if you don’t clean it, then when you are sanding, all the sanding dust will get clogged up on the sandpaper. If it’s clogged up, then it will not sand properly, the sanding will leave swirl marks (if you use an orbital sander) and you will need to change the sandpaper a lot more often. I hope this helps ☺️

@@AlenBeals Thank you so much Linda, that’s a very kind comment! I’m happy that you liked the video 🥰

@@jeepstergal12 I haven’t used those before, I shall try them too 😁

@@Ontheflipside2021 Hi, That’s a really good comment, thank you for sharing! Since soy sauce is water based, it essentially acts as a water based stain. I left it to fully dry and sealed it with a wax, so the soy sauce shouldn’t cause mildew. Also, since it has a high salt content, it’s resilient against mildew. Mould can grow if the wood itself gets damp and doesn’t dry out - like if the furniture is in a damp garage in the winter. I feel like as long as the stain you are using is water based, like soy sauce, tea or coffee, and it has fully dried before you apply a topcoat, it should not cause an issue. :)

@ thank you for getting back to me. I will have to try this. I was concerned it would mildew but good points. Again thank you

@ You’re very welcome 😍 Good luck with it. ☺️ Merry Christmas 🎄🥰

Thank you so much! 🥰🥰

I used a carbide scraper ☺️

@@MrCleary21 Thank you so much 🥰🥰

@@PaulaMcMillan-v4i Hi Paula, Thank you very much! 🥰🥰 It’s just a regular Elbow Grease degreaser spray ☺️

Thank you for the question, it's actually a really good question 😁 Bleed throughs usually happen when the resin from the bare wood shows through the paint. Usually bleed throughs only show on white/light colour pieces, that's true, because when the furniture is painted dark, it then hides the bleed throughs, but I like to use primer for better adhesion in general. 😁 I wanted to prime this piece because I wanted to make sure that the paint sticks to the furniture properly. I could've probably just applied the paint straight to the bare wood, but I didn't want to risk the paint peeling off. I could've used a grey colour primer, which would've been darker. Or I could've used a clear shellac, but I haven't found that in the UK yet. 😁 You can also mix up the paint with the primer, to colour the primer, but I didn't have enough paint for that. 😁 I know what you mean with the white showing through when the paint gets chipped, maybe next time you can try clear shellac or grey primer, or try and tint the white primer with paint. I'm also still learning after 5 years, haha, and I don't think I will ever stop learning. Every furniture is different, so means different challenges, but that's just the fun of it. 😁

@@AnnemarieHulsman Thank you so much! 🥰 Dusty pink is such a beautiful colour, I have that colour too, but didn’t find the right piece for it 🙈 I bet your table looks stunning! 😍

@@cleopatracatra2097 Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰 I usually prefer more colours too, but I think this colour suits the set 😍

@@rmower3428 thank you for the tip, I’ll keep in mind for future videos 😁

@@veronicarusso5564 Thank you so much for the support 🥰🥰

@@dawnziccardi8205 Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you so much! 🥰🥰

@@wodi28179 Thank you so much for your very kind comment 😍🥰🥰 I was a bit of a chicken when I was distressing the chairs, it was the first time that I ever distressed so I was afraid I will ruin them, and probably I could’ve done more so it shows properly. 😁 Next time I will be more brave, haha 😁

Thank you so much Julia! 🥰 I'm planning on creating more furniture like this, as I love this method so much 😍

@@phoenixfurniturestudio Thank you!! 😍 I love the colour too! 🥰 It’s definitely worth to try, great paint brand, got various beautiful colours and they also have some more artistic paints too, like marble effect or rust effect paints. I can’t wait to try those too 😁

Just paint, no vandalism 🙈

Thank you for the feedback! :) It can always be removed, so not all is lost. But I really wanted to do something different and colourful. What colour would you have used? :)

Thank you! I usually do, but sometimes I get lazy about it! 🙈

Thank you for the tip! I'll try it next time :D

Thank you so much!! 🥰 I’m glad you like it 😁

Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰

You’re welcome ☺️ I’m happy if I could help 😁

Thank you so much!! 😍❤️

Thank you so much 🥰🥰

It was an editing failure on my part! The song is longer than the last part of the video, and I only realised that my editor didn’t cut it after I posted the video. 🙈 I hope you still enjoyed the video 🥰 (and the extra song! 😂)

It’s just been updated- I learned something new this time too, thank you for your comment 😊

Hi James, Thank you so much! 🥰 No, I haven't sold it, it's still looking for its forever home. ☺

Try Hank you very much 🥰🥰

Hello, Thank you so much for your lovely comment! 🥰🥰 I hope it's going okay if you tried it since! If you haven't painted yet, I can highly recommend this paint: Fusion Mineral paint - Seaside, I think that colour would be close to what you might like. Have a look at my other video where I use that paint, it's called "40 years old display set makeover" 🥰

I believe so 😁

I loved them too! This was a customised piece for a client and she wanted these handles, but I kept the old ones for future projects 😁

Thank you James! That's a great tip, I will do that next time 😁

Thank you so much! 🥰🥰

Thank you! Well, I calculated how much hours I estimate it will take, times the payment per hour that I want to charge. Then I doubled the figure that I got, because I have poor time judgement, and I knew it was gonna take a lot more time, especially because I'm very perfectionist. Plus because these sets are really expensive if bought brand new. Then I added materials and fuel cost for picking it up and delivering. 😊 Yes, I just "lost" a potential customer because I asked for a certain amount to be paid in advance (cost of furniture plus cost of materials only) and she only wanted to pay on delivery, which is too high of a risk for me. It's worth waiting for the customer who appreciates our time and effort. 😊

Thank you! 🥰🥰
