Fantastic job!!!! I was a professional artist for many years, and I ALWAYS stretched my own canvases. Especially for custom commissions. If I may, you could invest in a nice pair of canvas pliers, from any art supply, and save your hands🤗
Girl you have the "gift of gab"!😆 And I mean that in the nicest way. How you talk that fast, include so much info, and seemingly never do any retakes astonishing!! You're a real natural in front of the camera. Loving this latest project offering from you as well. Great job Kiva😍
@@KivaBrent is now the time where I start singing toy story you got a friend in me?? 😂♥️♥️ much love to you! Thanks for sharing your talents with the world.
Fantastic! I love that the 2/3rds rule with regards to sofa size and art was ignored. We have a huge canvas of a place we have wonderful memories of. It does not meet designer rules but it makes our hearts happy every time we look at it which is throughout the day. One's home should make all people living feel comforted, comfortable and secure. Decor should serve to remind all inhabitants, children included, of the happiest times and hold what is relevant to each persons needs. Ego, showing off, wanting to impress others who live outside the home has nothing to do with family comfort and everything to do with the decorator being insecure and trapped in ego.. Decorating to impress others can even deny a homes inhabitants comfort and joy. Home is where the heart is if each heart within the home is allowed to shine to it's own beat.
That is INSANE! Normally I'm REALLY cheap and would think "$70 bucks for a canvas is still a lot" until I realize how MASSIVE your canvas is and how EXPENSIVE even smaller ones are, you're right! I'm literally mind-blown and that rarely happens with these videos! INCREDIBLE job!!
Kiv! Wooooow, you rock! I officially crown you queen of DIY 👑 I didn’t think it could get any better than the kitchen remodel...but this is a close second 😃
That looks great! A tip before screwing in a screw, drill a small hole first it makes it easier for the screw to start twisting into a hole that’s already there.
Kiva, you inspire me so much! I had this huge wall in my living room and didn't know what to do with it. After watching this video I decided to be a little creative. I bought ready made canvas. I added texture with spackle, used leftover paint and stain from my kitchen remodel. I love how it turned out. I even added the picture lights you recommended from Amazon.
Super Inspirational! Just finished stretching a 44 x 60 canvas. Canvas pliers are the bomb….plus….my staple gun has a setting for 'wire'. This simply means that the gun will fire the staple in 3/4 of the way… This makes it easy to remove the staple with a pair of pliers for fine-tuning that canvas, and when you are happy, then you just hammer them home.
@@doyen86 I want to know too, in case I need to stop going to Home Depot. Guess I will be trying to find out but it would be nice to know what the issue is so I could look up the right thing. Did you ever find out?
I remember from art class and learning to "wrap your canvas" we used what is called Gesso.( I'm recollecting from 30 years ago). Guess it's like a primer for the canvas. Then paint your design.
This is STUNNING and I can't believe the amount it ended up costing for such a massive and beautiful piece. Truly, great job! Thank you for sharing this project!
Thanks for sharing this video. The painting is beautiful. The canvas drop cloth was an eye opener and frame construction pretty much achievable for a home DIYer. Great work!!!
"My dog is afraid of wood" You are always so quotable! My cat is afraid of nothing (she is an absolute BEAST) but if someone knocks on the door she hides behind the stove 😜 This is glorious, y'all could just sell your art and make millions 💚💚💚
Girl! Thank you so much for this video. Large canvas paintings are so expensive. I appreciate how you kept it real, because no diy goes perfectly. Thanks for the affordable inspiration.
Mind blown I didn’t even realize u can make your own, I have always been like how am I suppose to make my own art when it cost more to buy a canvas than buy purchased art!!!! Ding dong. Thankyou!
I ditto that "you are so Brilliant" comment. Love this idea. I think I am going to try it but 6'x6'. I love how funny you are also. Stay safe and happy!
I watch your videos all the time, I usually don't comment but you did that! I have to do this now. This is easy and inexpensive, you're speaching my language. Keep up the great content.
Yay an early video. It is now 27 min. past midnight in SA. Hubby and son are sound asleep and I am trying so hard not to laugh out loud.. Aww look how cute your doggy looks. Was glad to see Babe as well! Love your creativity. ...you saying your dog is afraid of wood... etc. Funny!! 😃😃 You are sharp girl!
As a first for coming g to your channel I was blown away with your attitude and flare ( you don't do anything by halves do you ). Love a bit of girl power. You rock.🤩😍🥰👍👩🔧👨🏭👷♀️
@16:30 shows two things to us from the outside. 1. KB got her first admire of this wall art 2. How concave her space could be referring to the car on the street But thanks for all your insight and influence us to make our own large size painting :)
You two are amazingly creative, super personable and tons of fun to watch. Loved the project, but better yet, love watching you do your thing. Your videos are very enjoyable.
Kiva you are amazing! I am now 77 years young & I love your canvas. I am going to show this to my kids for their new home 😊
Thank you so much Sharon!! 💕

Oh my gosh. I love interior design, R&b music, neutrals, Lowe’s, and diy projects. I feel like we could be best friends. 🥰👏🏼
Yes!!!! We’re the same! I always need more friends!!!
@@KivaBrent is now the time where I start singing toy story you got a friend in me?? 😂♥️♥️ much love to you! Thanks for sharing your talents with the world.

Thank you so much!!!!! I hope that the bedroom is coming along!

Girl , girl , I cannot believe how beautiful this is, unbelievable
I am speechless on how you make do with what you have. Your Picasso turned out fabulous and I truly enjoy watching your videos ❤️
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words, Teresa!
That is INSANE! Normally I'm REALLY cheap and would think "$70 bucks for a canvas is still a lot" until I realize how MASSIVE your canvas is and how EXPENSIVE even smaller ones are, you're right! I'm literally mind-blown and that rarely happens with these videos! INCREDIBLE job!!
This is INCREDIBLE!!
Omg!! Thank you so much!!! I was so nervous to post it, so I’m happy you enjoyed it 😊.
How beautiful!! Looks very high end. You should add your signature in one of the bottom corners. That would be awesome.
Yeah! Well done you two. Amazing solution for renter who is unable to paint a wall too....
That’s such a good point!!! Thanks for watching 💕💕
Kiv! Wooooow, you rock! I officially crown you queen of DIY 👑 I didn’t think it could get any better than the kitchen remodel...but this is a close second 😃
Wow!!! Thanks so much! I have a second kitchen remodel coming soon!!!
Wow that's what you call going big. Perfect for your large wall love your enthusiasm.
Yes!!! Thanks so much, Denise!
That’s huge... Loved it. Favorite to date
Wow, thank you so much, Pauline!!!
That looks great! A tip before screwing in a screw, drill a small hole first it makes it easier for the screw to start twisting into a hole that’s already there.
Love the way you made it all simple and possible for anyone who wants to live the life of their dreams without throwing their money’s in a money-pit….

This is amazing. Shoutout to Kiva for preferring Lowes over Home Depot too.
Absolutely! Lowe’s knows what’s up unlike Home Depot.
I agree, I drive miles pass Home Depot to go to Lowes.
Thank you so much!!!!! Lowe’s is better for their political reasons. Also, they have better stock and the workers tend to have more knowledge.
What political reasons? Did something happen? Crazy CEO comments?
@@doyen86 I want to know too, in case I need to stop going to Home Depot. Guess I will be trying to find out but it would be nice to know what the issue is so I could look up the right thing. Did you ever find out?
I literally watch you every day, thank you for constantly uploading new stuff!!
WOW. just WOW. There are no words. I want to say AMAZING but that won’t do it justice. Thank you for doing this!
Thank you so much for watching!!! 💕
You guys make it look so easy.
Love it!!! Great job! Maybe a sofa table behind the sofa and that beautiful vase on your coffee table? A stack of books or a candle, Great 👍

OMG YOU ARE BRILLIANT!!!
Thank you so much!!!!!
I love your vibe, you look happy, I enjoy to watch happy people like you!
This is STUNNING and I can't believe the amount it ended up costing for such a massive and beautiful piece. Truly, great job! Thank you for sharing this project!
A fantastic diy and I think "babe" needs a shoutout for her support of all your diys.
I just love watching your dog so focus on your amazing art work!! You have amazing talent..
Hahah thank you so much! He also says thank you!
The middle offset support is a really great idea.
Kiva, I live for how you just go for it when doing projects. You’re so inspiring.
Simply amazing😍. I just wanted more details about painting strokes/ technique . Love 💕 it!
Thanks for sharing this video. The painting is beautiful.
The canvas drop cloth was an eye opener and frame construction pretty much achievable for a home DIYer. Great work!!!
Thank you so much Alison!!! 💕
That picture is BOSS!!! It would be worth hundreds of dollars if you had to buy it! So much talent, Kiva🤩 I love this new look also😍❣️ Hi Babe🌹
Holy moly that’s huge! Beautiful... I so wish I had your talent. Keep the awesome content coming!!
Thank you so much, Dawn!!!
You get an A+ for this DIY - wow!! I’m definitely going to try this - thank you!
Yay! Thank you!
Great idea to use a drop cloth as a canvas!
"My dog is afraid of wood" You are always so quotable! My cat is afraid of nothing (she is an absolute BEAST) but if someone knocks on the door she hides behind the stove 😜
This is glorious, y'all could just sell your art and make millions 💚💚💚
When I thought Arvin was driving me crazy, but Kiva is driving me insane!!!🤦🏾♀️😩😱😀

I am late to this party but thank you so much for showing all the steps! I appreciate that I am not the only one who struggles with a drill!
This diy is EXACTLY what I need right now! I’ve been trying to figure out how to diy a large abstract for home
