    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 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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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! 😃

    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. 😊

    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.

    No denying the new look is really right on trend
    Even without gold, everything you touch turns to GOLD🤩
