I agree with the rest. Love this piece, and the ingenuity it took to design it. Thanks for sharing! And if the brick was like a wall paper, cut when it's wet. If it tears your blade wasn't sharp enough. Enjoy your vacation from UA-cam. Looking forward to seeing you in 2022.
How cute that you did a warm and cozy fireplace for your Aussie Christmas. I love all that you do and just love Sarah. Was fun to see you collaborate. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
I absolutely LOVE this idea. Who would've ever thought of changing a bookcase into a fireplace !! The Woodubend is a great addition. This makes a great addition to your Christmas decorations. Merry Christmas to you and your family. See you in 2022 !!
Your fireplace is awesome!!! I’m in the US. I’ve just discovered this paint by Milange out of Texas called One. It’s got primer and topcoat. I’m sure there may be other paint as good as that but nothing could be better. It’s fabulous paint. I would prime under any white paint. Milange is a small Mom and Pop company out of Texas. When they send you their paint, it’s in a glass container and properly wrapped against breakage. I really enjoy you and your channel. Keep up the good work. Your pieces are classy and lovely.
Incredible! You are a force to be reckoned with - like Mother Nature :) Very creative! Enjoy your holiday my pajama wearing, puppy loving, “ potty mouth “ friend 🎄
Oh my gosh! How in the world did you come up with that idea?!? I would have never, in a million years, have ever thought of it! It’s marvelous, incredible, ingenious, inventive, imaginative, superb and I absolutely love and adore it! I can’t believe you sometimes; you say you don’t know what to do with some pieces and then create something amazing! This one takes the cake! Enjoy your break and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Aww Kay you're so sweet!! I'd love to say I was the one who sent me this idea, but a friend actuallly sent me some screenshots of something she saw on facebook. It wasn't the same as this, but was definitely my inspiration. Thank you so much for all your support and lovely comments xx
You clever cookie! That’s fantastic 😊♥️ Merry Christmas and enjoy your break Rachelle, see you in 2022 😂😘 🎅 🎄 I love Sarah too, she’s so sweet and humble 😊 I love you both!! 🇦🇺
That was so fun. I love how your brain works. It turned out festive and cute! Beats the heck out of those cardboard ones. Really clever Rachelle! All the best for Christmas see you next year! Cheers!
Well isn't that just cute AF!! Kknowing you & your grotto, it would fit right in at yours house 🎄🎄 Who'd have thought of turning a bookcase into a fireplace, noice mate! Love how you repurposed the piece from the dresser, perfect 🥰🎄🎄🎄
What a good mate you have. I watched Sara's video this morning. Great work from you both. I am so happy to have Sara in Nashville. It would be lovely if you could come for a holiday. I want to take this opportunity from all these miles away, to wish you a Happy Christmas
As always, love your work Rachelle - gorgeous, inventive flip 💗 enjoy your break and come back ready to transform some more 'beauties'. Thoroughly enjoyed your collab with Sarah as well 😍 love her! As for white ... it's Zinsser BIN for priming and Rustoleum Linen White chalk paint for a brilliant white - I also use their clear top coat for protection - works for me. Thanks again for all that you do - stay safe x
What a super cool idea!! This faux fireplace turned out beautifully. I love it ❤️🔥❤️ Wishing you & your family a Wonderful Christmas 🎄& Amazing New Year 🎉🎉
My 12V Craftsman Nextel oscillating tool has served me well over the years. Blades can often make a huge difference too-getting a $16 blade instead of a $7 blade was a giant step up for mine. As it’s cordless, I’d recommended getting a spare battery. They charge quite quickly, but I much prefer changing out the battery and getting right back to work than rather than waiting a half-hour for it to charge. It’s also what I use for detail sanding.
You should put some candles ( or fake candles) where the fire wood normally sits. That’s what Midwestern Americans do in the warmer summer months. Merry Christmas. Enjoy your rest. Looking forward to you, the puppies, and all your new pjs in 2022.
Adorable transformation! But so funny that your interpretations are complete opposites!! Fireplace and beach themed! I love both pieces and the videos showing each process. I enjoyed seeing the old Rachelle, *#*% and all! After becoming a Dixie Belle rep, you are now so prim and proper! You deserve time off so rest, re!ax and most of all enjoy time with your family! Wishing you and your's a wonderful Christmas! 😀👍💖
I think this turned out just darling and pretty. You did something totally different, shared your mistakes and did not give up. Thumbs up to you and Mr.! Please get some rest and come back soon. Otherwise, I will end up with Rachelleitis. ☹️
Love the flip it would be so useful for putting your own touch on rental properties. Just been over to Sarahs cannel I see she caught the pyjama painting mode. Have a peaceful and safe Christmas see you in 2022.
Merry Christmas!! So glad I came across your channel this year. Just an update - I redesigned & sold my very first piece yesterday!! Im in love with the Hampton olive colour and I have you to thank ✨can’t wait to see what’s in store next year. P.s I had a laugh when the storm hit in this video 😂
I love your videos and your personality! As far as the papering, I'll tell you what I do. I love to decoupage and wallpaper. I have wallpapered many rooms in my house by myself. Here's what I do: I use 'Paste the Wall" wallpaper. If I know I'm going to deal with an edge that needs trimming I AVOID putting paste in that area until I make my cut. So, if I'm near the baseboard, say - I put my paste on the wall leaving an inch or two dry. Then I cut the dry paper which is much less likely to tear (yes, I've had that happen!), then I add the paste and stick it down. Easy peasy. I hope this helps. I usually do two coats of primer if I'm doing a white, but not always - it depends on the wood. I love Dixie Belle Drop Cloth, it is my favorite white. But, it's not a bright white at all, it's more of an off-white.
Good morning lovely....I absolutely loved this video and your fireplace ....how beautiful and cozy ....Merry Christmas My dear friend....Enjoy your 2 weeks off ....you definitely deserve it...much love🎄⛄🥰❣️❣️👍
This was an excellent project for showing how to completely transform a piece. Great job! I've enjoyed watching you this year. Take good care of yourself (& pups🐾🐾)and best wishes for a Merry Christmas🎄 & Happy New Year🎉Donna in Philly
Oh. I thought u gonna paint this a nice colour. I loooove those peaces. Can't wait to get one. So 90s, but I would paint it nice n gray. I recently done my first flip with dixie mason gray. I'm in love😍. Will wax it next after waiting 2 days. Not sure why but thinking maybe I should wait.
This reminds me so much of 'proper' Christmas' in the UK. Will it become a permanent feature in your home Rachelle? My only tip for the wallpaper cutting is to use a brand new blade each time, whether the paper is wet or dry :D
Porters eggshell finish with Zinsser 123 primer gives me incredible coverage and the best finish try it out you won't regret it. Bugger that chalk paint and mineral paint.
Thanks so much lovely. Missing the Welsh weather right now. Actually, scrap that ... I'm missing the nights getting dark early. I don't think I'll ever reallly miss the weather ha
I cut the paper when it’s dry. I’ve cut when wet and the paper not only tore but then it shrank enough to make a difference. That’s just my experience.
Damn, this is going to REALLY seem like a year before i see you again! But. Yeah, time off is necessary!! I will get a few hours off on dec 27th when he goes to see his kids! (They aren't really kids...but you know what i mean!)
Thank you for an unlikely transformation. Whodathot? I would add a couple light sources in the bricked in enclosure but not the fake foil crackling red light horror with plastic loggettes. Christmas is coming. As is your storm. Be safe. He's a cutey,your Man.
See you in 2022, NOT 2021!!! See ... I NEED TIME OFF 🤣🤣
lol
Have a great new year x to you all. X
Oh u r painting.
So therapeutic😍😍😍
Yay Mr Monnow Lane Furniture…so good
Thanks mate. I still need to watch yours yet! Slowly waking up on a hot Sunday morning! 😘😘
Now that’s a flip!!! As always I love everything you do!
Thanks so much 😘😘

Thanks Karen. Yes good point, the blade needs to be sharper!! 😘😘😘
A little outside of your normal fare, R. I love it. You put a little Christmas 🎄 magic into a flip. Nice "meeting" Mr. ML. Enjoy your holiday!
Thanks so much Flash ... yep, gotta love a bit of Christmas spirit huh? :)
Genius idea,beautiful!

Fantastic Fireplace !!!
Thanks Deborah!
WOW that is beautiful. I hope you keep it for yourself. Have a great holiday and enjoy your time off!
I did keep it. It's under the dartboard on our deck, which also has the wallpaper behind it, so it looks like a real fireplace wall!

Heyyyy it's great to see an Aussie furniture flipper! Love your work that I've seen so far and looking forward to watching more vids after Chrissie.
Thanks so much! Have a lovely Chrissie xx

Thank you! I'll add new blades to my Christmas list 🤣😍😘

Thank you so much Donna, I really appreciate your support 😘
Oh. I thought u gonna paint this a nice colour.
I loooove those peaces.
Can't wait to get one. So 90s, but I would paint it nice n gray.
I recently done my first flip with dixie mason gray.
I'm in love😍.
Will wax it next after waiting 2 days. Not sure why but thinking maybe I should wait.
Yes, this one was a little bit different to my norm. No need to wait to wax, but it wouldn't hurt either :)
You go Graham!
Yay ... he finally made an appearance haha
🌻💕Gorgeous
Thanks Rochelle 😘
This reminds me so much of 'proper' Christmas' in the UK. Will it become a permanent feature in your home Rachelle? My only tip for the wallpaper cutting is to use a brand new blade each time, whether the paper is wet or dry :D
Its already set up on our deck under the dartboard which also has the wallpaper behind it, so it looks like a proper pub wall with fireplace now :)
@@CraftedbyMonnowLane sounds fabulous. I'm glad you're keeping it. Maybe put an extension on the top so Santa can fit? 😜🤣
Porters eggshell finish with Zinsser 123 primer gives me incredible coverage and the best finish try it out you won't regret it. Bugger that chalk paint and mineral paint.
Sweet thanks!!
love the vid again as usual xx I think you meant 2022 at the end lol xx
I need this time off more than I realised 🤣🤣
Fab idea, have a great Christmas 🎄 Nadolig Llawen xx
Thanks so much lovely. Missing the Welsh weather right now. Actually, scrap that ... I'm missing the nights getting dark early. I don't think I'll ever reallly miss the weather ha
The weather is bizarre. Here in South Africa we're supposed to be frying but it's freezing.
So weird huh?!
I cut the paper when it’s dry. I’ve cut when wet and the paper not only tore but then it shrank enough to make a difference. That’s just my experience.
Oh I hadn't even thought about it shrinking!! Thanks so much lovely xx
Cool
Damn, this is going to REALLY seem like a year before i see you again! But. Yeah, time off is necessary!! I will get a few hours off on dec 27th when he goes to see his kids! (They aren't really kids...but you know what i mean!)
😘😘😘😘
Go onto my bookcase bar video, I can show you how to trim wet wallpaper 💕
2022 haha you're a year behind...please don't take us back to 2021 😝
Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
👍🎄♥️
Thank you for an unlikely transformation. Whodathot? I would add a couple light sources in the bricked in enclosure but not the fake foil crackling red light horror with plastic loggettes. Christmas is coming. As is your storm. Be safe. He's a cutey,your Man.
Oh I LOVE that idea!!!! Thanks Nancy xx
A bigger paintbrush would certainly save you a lot of time.
Yes I've got 50mm ad 63mm brushes, but for some reason I prefer the smaller ones :)
