- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- This week we are repainting an old desk that just would not sell in my Etsy shop! I ended up making it a beautifully aged, old world-faux stone inspired style of desk that is sure to sell this time around. I hope you guys enjoy the tutorial!

I had been wondering why no one was addressing the topic of pieces that didn't sell. It is NEVER a loss when you get to create something, once, twice or a million times, each time is a new creation! Thanks!
I agree!
I love that thought!! Not everything sells all the time!
How much did it sell for? It's gorgeous!!❤❤❤
I love how you make old look like new and improved. Wish everyone could see the value in older furniture because older furniture is made with real wood and better overall construction.
I know it’s subjective, but I love the second look so much better. However, it must be frustrating to repaint something in order for it to sell. Your talent knows no limits!
Thank you! I had fun making both!
@@KachaFurniture please tell me the web address of your Etsy shop? Did not see it in the description box. Thank you! and always such gorgeous work. :)
Now that is actually what I would call glamorous! It has life and movement. I 💗it!!!
I love ALL your furniture makeovers!I liked the original redo --but this new makeover is GORGEOUS 😍
I have to constantly remind myself that when it comes to selling items, it's not about what I like. It's about what is popular and what sells. For example, I'm not a fan of the whole Pottery Barn paint wash look, but it sells really well, so I will paint wash pieces that I know are perfect candidates for that look. The funny thing is that the look has grown on me over time. I still wouldn't choose it for my home, but I have found myself appreciating, dare I say admiring, some of the finished pieces.
As much as we have to remember that it's not about what we like, most of us do have a passion for the work we are doing, and being able to embrace our creative side is part of what brings us joy and keeps us passionate about the work are doing. Because of this, I will sometimes choose to use bold or unusual colors and/or unusual designs that I personally love, knowing that it will likely take longer to sell. I do agree that after about 6 months of not selling, it's time to pull the plug and try something new. I would rather restyle a piece than drastically reduce the price. Our time is worth money, and the pieces we sell are superior in quality to anything you can purchase new at a big box store.
It makes me frustrated for all of us when I see a beautiful piece that was originally listed for a fair price of, say, $600 get reduced down to $200-$300. It doesn't only impact the person selling the item. It also impacts the value of similar pieces across the board, which devalues what our time is worth. I wish more people would restyle the piece and still sell it for fair market value rather than drastically reducing the price.
Love the new look, glam has its place, but not everyone has a glamorous home, but now it fits in any room, no matter the design..
Good that you changed a style of this desk. After makeover looks much better. Was nice but now is fantastic. Good job Dear. :)
This is gorgeous. I can totally envision it in a beach cottage, where it would fit in just about any room, not just a bedroom or office.
I appreciate you showing us how to use the stamps. That method looks so much better than decals, in my opinion.
Happy new year kacha and carlos👍👋👋❤👏thanks for always sharing....
I’m thrilled you went back to your original (kind of signature) layering blending style. I forgot how much I enjoy that process … definitely trying that aged look on a piece. You typically don’t distress your pieces but that worked. Wonderful video!
I agree 💯 I was missing some of the "Signature Kacha Techniques" myself! I have an extreme love for texture, layering, blending and dry brushing are from watching Kacha years ago 😁❣️
TRULY LOVELY!!! So ELEGANT NOW!!!🥰😍🤩😘
I loved the piece the way it was but I love the way it looks now as well. You are an amazing furniture artist and I love watching you create. Happy New Year!🥂🌸
Well, honestly, i did not want you to change it because I loved the glam desk. BUT whoa! I bought a desk for myself this week and I have lots of cream and coco so NOW I know what to do with it! Yay!
BTW, I did a piece with cream and Paris gray once and loved it. The gray has some blue hues to it and the contrast was wonderful!
I love Annie Sloan! It is my favorite to work with! 😃
Great idea to recycle the recycled. Brilliant! Someone will love it! 100%
You are so knowledgeable about all the material you work with. I so enjoy watching your transformations. I also love seeing your cute dogs with you while you work. Thank you!
Dear Kacha. Your job is impeccable, doesn't matter the style ir colors you vision in a particular piece of furniture. Keep up the good work. Keep blessing all of us with your God given gift. God bless you.
You are such a talent, Kacha! I just found your site a few days ago, and I've been binge-watching ever since (until 2am one morning!). I would love to be able to do what you do! ❣💗❣ I also can't get over how you manage to keep your clothes, hands and floor free of paint! Wow! 😲
Amazing 👏👏👏 thank you for 2021 full of art and I wish you a beautiful 2022 with all your family ❤🌟🥰🕊🥂🍾🎶
This aged, layered look is what I love about you, Kacha! I prefer it to the original makeover, it has more life, not flat like the brown. The color selections are perfect. Your artist’s eye always knows just what to do.
YES Brenda‼️ Bringing back of some of the "Kacha Signature Techniques" 😁❣️
That is so much better! It’s beautiful.
Beautiful Talented Kacha, where do you sell and what do you price your different pieces for and how do you decide on the price.... would be even more cool to add these last business details to each of your creations for an all-around creation video/tutorial!!! 💜
Been wondering this too for awhile. Would love a food reference and Kacha would be an awesome one to base some stuff off
Looks Great.So Beautifull.
First was also Beautifull.
But this time 👌 more Beautifull.

Happy NewYear
I love watching you create!
Kacha, do you have an videos showing how to fade from a white/light gray center to a black outer area? Like a white to black ombre? I haven't found any yet. If not. Can you please show us how it's done? Thank you!
Oh my heart sank a bit! Both are beautiful, but I absolutely loved the first look. That piece was actually one of my favorites of your work, but I completely understand that you needed to keep inventory moving, love your style!
I Love it! Everything you do, I Like! You're the Best! Your Style is Unique & Classy!
You are so much fun to watch and even though I've done furniture refinishing for years, I still learn something new every time I watch your videos. Your work is Beautiful. Also, I'm in Love with Duke ❤.
This reminds me of an old school "Kacha Video" which makes me SO happy 😁 Thank you so much for bringing back some of your older techniques that you used to do all the time ❣️ I learned my extreme love for texture, layering and dry brushing from you ❤ Thank you again SO very much girl 💖
Love it! I think this is the essence of your painting style, like your signature type of painting. It has so much personality. Thank you for sharing.
Stunning piece and I actually prefer it this way as I’m a huge fan of distressed painted furniture 🥰
I loved the 'original'wood but the gold was throwing me off. But the after the repaint WOW. Love it
Beautiful! 😍🥰
❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a difference.... Beautiful !!
Beautiful, well done . I like the new look better is more calming. You are so brave to make dramatic changes.
You are a wonderful teacher! Keep doing what your doing for us. I’ve painted 2 pieces,a vanity that I painted in a pearl paint and a kidney shaped desk. I thought I had the vanity sold but the buyer backed out. The vanity I need to repaint. No one has looked at it.
GORGEOUS! You are soooo talented and blessed.
Hi Kacha❣️ it has been some time since I have been on UA-cam and so happy to see your video pop up on my screen before I got to my subscribed channels! You look beautiful and as always I love this transformation🙌🏻🌟 so soft and elegant….was also happy to see you do this type of blending ….it is one of my favorites❤️ I hope all is well with you, hubby and your fur babies…A belated MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR🎉🌟 I wish you health happiness and prosperity in the new year🙌🏻 I have some catching up to do and am looking forward to it! Thank you for sharing😊 Kimberly from Delaware
broke my heart at first to see you cover up your beautiful work...but, oooh la la, the make-over is to die for! You are a true inspiration, Kacha. Love you!
beautiful Kacha!
Wow another stunner it was beautiful before but this is stunning again.
Looks great... did before too, but I also haven't distressed etc in a long time, so this was such a good refresher, also a reminder to redo some projects in my own home as I have just moved - thank you Kácha. Great filming Carlos.. (Lóve those dogs...!) 🦋
Aww, you worked your magic again! Another great transformation!🇨🇦😀💞
Beautiful! I get so much enjoyment watching your videos. Than you!
I really love what’s you did there. The desk looks so soft and loved. It is beautiful. You are awesome! Jo
Ooooooh how beautiful. Your talent is endless. Thank you forsharing with us.
GIIIRL!! Not everyone can appreciate this. But let me tell you .. I DO! Thank you from one creator to another ..Love love love. ❤️
How heartbreaking! I love this version, too, but the original was stunning! I would have bought it if I could. People with money don't know how to spend it.
I totally agree with you.
Both versions are beautiful. You’re work is always stunning. Love seeing your puppies.
I was skeptical at first because I thought the desk was beautiful already 😁 love the finished look🌹🌹
Sorry about your migraine. I get them regularly. I missed hearing your voice, but enjoyed the music. Hope you're feeling better. 🥰
Congratulations 👏! You are right, it has character now!!! I love it 💞!!!
I loved both ways you painted the furniture. You are so talented that anything you do is wonderful!
Love this transformation. The aging on this piece.....perfect!!
I like this remake. It looks elegant, more like Kacha.
So much better this way, love it
Oh Kacha! I love this wonderful transformation! Quite my style! Texture, aged, everything is perfect! Well done! 🙂
oh that stamp collection was so nice! The distress, plus the dark wax made the stamping really pop!
Beautiful. Annie Sloan Cream is such a beautiful color; it’s one of my favorites. I really like what you did with this piece.
Just some thoughts on displaying the
final creation which is beautiful !
Where are your big white flowers with the gold accents ? They would have set off the piece vs. the planter. Also...on such a light piece...If you hung a black flat sheet behind it & under it ...it would really pop & scream
... you have to buy me. 😊
Agree! The concrete wall is horrid. A real designer would get creative!
Absolutely beautiful… I wish I could buy it… You are so beautiful with a talent like no other… God Bless you Kasha ♥️🌺♥️
You are Amazing! Im stunned of your work and I am really inspired to get started painting funitures. At least give it a try 😘
I wasn’t sure at first but as usual you came up triumphant. Thank you
Wow, looked at my Annie Sloan email this morning and said, “ that desk looks like KACHA!”
Beautiful, Dear One. 😘🙏🏼❤️
So happy to hear that! ❤️
I like this so much better than the glam look. Beautiful!
I understand everyone has their own opinion and I usually love everything you do, however I did not care for the original finish. So, I’m happy to see you refinishing it. I just wish you would have changed the trim molding on the drawer fronts and given the corners a 45 degree cut…the beauty of the desk calls for it.
Yes! they stick out like a sore thumb. Probably why it didn't sell. And yet she still didn't fix it.
Absolutely love to learn from your techniques. Always tell people to watch your videos. Thank you!
Looks lovely, Kacha. I am sure it will sell fast. Happy New Year to you and your family. With kindest regards from Down Under 😘💕🎉🥳🍷🎊🥂🍾🇦🇺
The second makeover looks even better than the first: and the first was really pretty! I’m sure that this restyled look will help you sell it fairly quickly.
Gorgeous outcome! I especially love how you accentuated the feet.
I love how this turned out you're the best.😘 Like I said 1000,000 times you give me so much inspiration Namaste
Wow! Seriously love this.
Best wishes Kacha, I love that you came back to the basics, even if I love your glamorous style 😉😉
Love it …happy new year to you ..
Love it! I admit I do like this look better. We all have pieces people love but it doesn't fit their style. This goes well with many current trends!
What a beautiful piece. I am surprised it didn't sell. What you did to it is so beautiful though. It looks amazing! So lovely! You are truly an artist with your painting techniques! So lovely!!
I really like the style with stencils and that beautifully aged patina. Beautiful!
What an amazing transformation !! Like it a lot better than the original look. The colors look great and I love the aging. The stamp really sets off the front of the drawers. This texture looks fairly easy to do and really makes a difference. Thanks Kacha for another great video !!
Good job! A classic piece with a classic look, and really classy music. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks, Kasha and Carlos!
Gorgeous 👏🏻
Beautiful.
That piece is STUNNING!!!!
Really is beautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous
Beautiful
Ola Kacha! It's been a while! Like I said once before - your artist and your canvas is the furniture!!!!!
I love the new look, but the first was so gorgeous and all that gold leafing you did! I was hoping you would distress down to some of that. I think you know your buyers (market) though.
No denying the new look is really right on trend
Even without gold, everything you touch turns to GOLD🤩
I loved the before because my home is French Parisian glam
It gave me inspo to diy my own furniture
Thank you!
You are unstoppable! I am just binge-watching your videos! Thank you Katcha
Thank you so much, kacha and I love that you showed us about using the stamp. It is perhaps my favorite look. I love gold leaf and was sad that you had to cover it!
You are an AMAZING furniture painting Artist!!! I Love all your transformation creations you have a GIFT💙💙💙🥳🥳🥳
It must be so heartbreaking to have to paint over something that you'd spent so much time and energy on. At least you had fun doing it and rediscovered something that you really enjoy. Both pieces were gorgeous, but you got to do what's going to sell. Best of luck to you in the new year, Kacha.
Wow....you really outdid yourself...just magnificent!!
The first finish on the desk was formal and beautiful! Thank you for sharing this informative video showing how you completely transformed the same desk into a more casual piece, but equally beautiful! 👍🏻
Gorgeous transformation. I so loved how you addressed this topic! gives me more courage to venture out. Thanks Kacha ...awesome teacher!
I’ve followed you since the beginning and I just love all of your work!
Very nice transformation.
I am very surprised this piece didn't sell, I thought it was beautiful.
Love the redo
Happy new year kacha. What ever you do to your pieces i love..shame that piece didn't sell before perhaps now it will..i wish i could buy onebof your pieces but we live in different states..
