    Nonsense and Sensibility
    Chapter 5
    The poetry of discarded materials...
    It started with a small skinny legged thing ...
    It seemed inconsequential, but not to the artist --
    Taking the pain staking , but necessary , steps needed...
    The poor little discard became a beauty...ready to be tucked in,"where ?" and useful again.
    The poetry of a discarded thing is lovely indeed !

    Hi Katie, every time I watch your videos, it reminds me why I love to paint furniture and such. Not only does the furniture become new, but I also feel renewed. I was raised to respect what we had,
    even when we had very little, and in so doing, everyone, for the last 3 generations, that I know of, are creators. Painters, tool & die makers, quilters, builders, gardeners, yarn artists, bakers, and so many more. We see a pile of scraps and discards as possibilities. I can't imagine life any other way. Thanks for reminding me each time I visit your channel that even small changes, made with love, enrich more than the moment, but in many ways, our spirit.🌷Oh, love the tally skinny table.🌷

    I love the care and attention to detail, going over multiple steps, I see too many You Tuber up-cycling furniture to sell who just slap the paint on and then claim they are going for a shabby chic finish when it’s just poorly done 😟 I loved the tip about adding a little paint to the sealant top coat 👍🏼👍🏼

  • @sweetgumlife5185
    @sweetgumlife5185 Рік тому +2

    Hello from Alabama! As a beginner, I think my intimidation is the number of times one has to go back over with coats of paint. The artist in my wants to make the transformation in one coat and be done. But I'm learning that I have to be patient with the process, to do quality work for my customers. I completely agree with you about starting small. Thanks for the great instructional video. -Stephanie

    First video I’ve seen using sanding and a primer under chalk paint to give a smooth finish. Brilliant idea. Most videos I’ve seen just paint the chalk paint right over the piece with very little prep. Your technique is much better. It’s going to insure the surface is smooth with no bleed through. Thanks for this beginners video. As a beginner this video is priceless.

But this video caught my attention, I clicked on it, and now I am checking out Melange. Now I am just a little disappointed they don’t have a store front, because they are closer to my house than Lowe’s! Who knew someone in Canada would teach me about a local business in my own neighborhood in Texas. Thanks for the information, your table turned out beautiful.
