    The music is fine. Disregard the haters. I'm not sure why people think their own criticism is their gift to this world. I was taught, "If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all." I never comment on tons of videos that have taught me a lot however, I'm getting older and I guess I'm getting a little tired of mean people who complain. They should go make their own videos instead of complaining about those who are actually teaching, sharing and giving their time. Your teaching and skills teach me how to do things that I can do IF I only knew how to do it. Now I do know thanks to you taking your own time to teach us. Thanks for your time to do this! I appreciate you! PS, Turn the music up! See, I told you I was old. 🙂

    Love this technique! It's the most authentic, aged paint finish that shows paint layers. It's interesting that you alternate the chalk & salt wash paints. I've used Elmer's Glue (the regular school glue) thinned slightly with water & brushed on prior to the top coat to create authentic cracks - very inexpensive. The top coat also needs to be thinned down & brushed with a loaded brush (brushing back & forth removes crackle). Thank you for sharing your tips!

    I just bought an large, antique apothecary cabinet that when it was advertised, it had the best 100+ years of patina on it but when I went to go see it, they had painted the cabinet a bright white and sanded the drawers, all that patina GONE. I still bought it tho and was thinking how I was going to make it look like it had a 100 year old finish on it. This will be what I’m going to do with it. I know it’s going to take me a LONG time since it has 18 drawers and it’s a large piece but I think it will be worth it to do this project on a large scale. Thanks for all your painting tutorials.

    Great technique and instructional! We almost expected to hear the sign was flipped for 50,000 USD. :) The chamfering of the corners on new sawn cuts on new stock and on older commercial furniture pieces when repainting is done adds a little insurance that the paint or coating (s) will adhere. We did a similar finish years ago using gesso and polenta and a bunch of hand sanding.. Great job!

    I bet you’re right! Sea… salt. Sea Spray. The table I have is SUPER old. It is wood but I have no idea what kind. I cleaned it up and it’s one solid piece (on top) I’m thinking it’s going to soak up so much expensive paint. Do you any tricks up your sleeve for putting something on the top first before I use paint? I have stain, would that help?I forgot about this one but I did make your sand & plaster of paris. If ever I want to change it up, I can sand it off, right? I found a table “workbench” that’s going to look super cute using this technique. 💕

      Works best with latex chalk paint will get too thick

    Hello this is a wonderful technique! Do you let each layer dry, and if so for how long, between layers? I also have a drawer I found in the trash somewhere, it is pre stained and finished, should i sand the stain off, or is it ok to work from there up? Thanks so much!!! Love your items

    Can I use this mixture on my terracotta garden pot with my chalk paint to give it an aged texture and not a flat look? I've seen that Dixie Belle do what they call Seaspray, is this recipe similar? I live in the UK and don't want to pay £15 plus postage for it! Your sign looks fantastic!!

    Thanks for sharing! Could I simply add coarse salt to ready made chalk paint (without adding plaster of Paris)?

      This technique will only work the best by using this exact recipe. Thanks for watching :)

    That is so so gorgeous 😍. Pickling salt is not easily available and very expensive in my country. Would it be fine if I use sand instead?

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  Рік тому

      Sample not work as well because you can’t use a sander to remove the sand. It will stick in the paint, but you could use any type of salt.
