What wax did you use on the painted fabric seats on the chairs? I am going to attempt this!

I must admit that I doubted the process, but you accomplished marvelous results on all the projects. I am hooked.
Glad you enjoyed
With the wood burning you would have more even look with a wider tip burner and go with the grain instead of against
My uncles had a dump we would go to my mom would find things and refurbish, this brought some memories flooding in❤️
What wonderful memories I’m so glad you enjoyed
The bench is beautiful!
Thanks 😊
At one time I worked for a furniture refinisher. He taught me to put keys on a ring and slam those into the furniture to distress it.😁 Very therapeutic!
That’s a great tip thank you so much for sharing
The finished pine cabinet is beautiful in its transformed state.
Glad you enjoyed
The tip about the cardboard box was great. Thank you for teaching us.
You are so welcome!
The little wicker “table” is actually an Antique Victorian Sewing Box…great find!
It’s just beautiful I love it
@@OurUpcycledLifeI wonder if the linseed oil you used on the rocker would have reduced the brittleness of the wicker on the sewing basket/planter? Or use the linseed oil to moisturise and when it dries off spray the lacquer over the top?
I doubt you will see my comment 8 months after the fact but if by chance you do I would love to know your experienced opinion on this suggestion.
Yes I recognized it immediately Grandmother’s family were all seamstresses,sewing , knitting ,embroidery thread and ribbon along with tatting. All by hand . Wow what a find !❤
I can’t believe someone threw this bench away. It’s gorgeous & the fleshing up you did was exactly what it needed! I’m soooo jealous! 😊
Thank you so much!!
Your friends table and chairs turned out fantastic with the fabric softner and blue paint method! What a deal. Had. never heard of using fabric softener to do this. Great idea!
You are so welcome!
A dry sponge helps remove the paper for those with sensitive fingers. 😊 Love the video, it's very insightful and inspiring! Thank you! ♡♡
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
love the bench, what a priceless find! Thanks for great projects.
Thanks for watching!
I love the bench
Thanks for watching
Thank you for the tip on putting art on your TV screen. I’ve seen a lot of people do it and now I can do that, also!😊
You are so welcome!
OMG FANTASTIC
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
🎉lovely do you ever just look at a peice and just sand it and wax it? I love the look of natural wood. 🎉
Yes sure do!
@@OurUpcycledLife you do some lovely peices x
Wow! I love this technique!
So glad!
I’m not into distressed looks but love your chalk paint and stained wood. Maybe I would have oiled the sewing basket first to feed it so it wouldn’t be so fragile?
Thanks for watching
I enjoy your channel very much. Thank you for inspiring me to try new things.
I'm so glad!
I happen to like raw pine. I would just seal it and add accent cushions to that bench.
Great to see and how you did with this- lots of good ideas-thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This upcyckled bench is looking amazing ❤
Thanks
Your content is always engaging and informative.
Glad you enjoyed
I always love your upcycles!! You make me believe I can do DIY's myself! Your instructions are so clear! I have to say I am jealous-you are wearing a jacket outside! It is 100 degrees here in Louisiana right now!!
Cool mornings ❤️
Gorgeous
I just loved you mistake section 😊
😁
I’m so jealous, you get to find fantastic pieces in the dump. I love how the cabinet turned out.
Me too. We can't take anything from the dump. So sad
Thanks so much!
I love the rocking chair. Love the natural color. I personally do not care for all the process that's gone through to make a piece of furniture look rustic. 😊
I understand
Just amazing! Love it
Glad you like it!
The caned rocker looks exactly like my grandmother’s that she sat in all the time…wish I had it! She was born in 1881 !! Love, love the chippy yellow bench!!!!
Oh the memories
The small burned bench started out to be so patriotic but still looks great
Thanks for watching
Beautiful job thank you for sharing ❤

Thanks for watching!

Me too!!
I was happy to see you use products to enhance the wood on the rocking chair t show the beauty of th
Thank you so much 😊
Loved, loved, loved the yellow bench. Didn't think it could look that gorgeous. You're amazing!
Thank you so much!
I absolutely love that yellow chippy bench! I’m so glad you didn’t paint over the natural aged finish, you did a great job!
Thanks so much!
Love all the upcycles! It was like watching the "Flea Market Flip" show without the drama. Lol! The yellow bench and burnt one are my favorites! Have you seen the "Shou Sugi Ban" burnt wood/color technique done? It's beautiful. You almost achieved that with the mulit-colored bench/table. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and sharing it. Love from Kentucky, God bless. 🙏🏻✝
I love Flea Market Flip and miss the show…drama and all!😅
Glad you liked it!!
What a fun video! I love how you can turn dumped items into beautiful reclaimed furnishings. Thank you for sharing!❤
You are so welcome!
I loved the yellow rustic bench, but without the decoupaged words. Just gorgeous!
Thanks
The yellow bench.....the front and back look like the headboard and footboard of an old bed turned upside down. Or maybe two matching twin headboards. Great find.
Could be
I love, love, love that little red shelf with the giftwrap top! The wrinkles actually gave it a texture that looked intentional, which I like.
Glad you enjoyed
Loved all your upcycles
Thanks
LOVE THIS!!! I WILL HAVE TO TRY THIS!!!!❤
Have fun!
Turned out so nice
Thanks 😊
These were so beautifully updated. I really loved the bench❤
Glad you like them!
I used to have rocking chair just like this- made of mahogey wood-
Beautiful 😻
Your wicker peice was a sewing table.its amazing
I just love it. Thanks for watching.
56:16 Oh, wow. This yellow bench is my favorite. Absolutely gorgeous!
Yes I love it
All the upcycles turned out great, but my very favorite is the yellow bench. It turned out fantastic!
Thanks so much!
❤ I am happy to say that I found your channel about two months ago and want to express my "deepest thank you" for providing projects and materials at an easier price for those of us that are on a very small fixed income. THANK YOU for making all of this possible because I do enjoy thrift storing, great finds and always a mystery of what you might see😊 Bless you for all you do for us😊
You are so welcome!
Oh my! It’s only, a little more than, halfway through and I’m loving all of them.
So glad enjoyed
That yellow bench was an amazing find! I love it! I must say though...the words added to it gave it a cliche craft look and really took away it's aged charm.
Thanks so much!
I love ur channel & the many pieces u’ve up-cycled.
I’ve done a few wood burning projects in the past & I found that burning in the direction of the wood grain, the same as u would when u paint,
brings out the grain more evenly. Going against the grain gives u streaks. Ur piece did look so much nicer with the darker grain so it was a great choice.
Thank you for sharing ur creativity, I always enjoy watching u & amazed how the pieces have been transformed 💜
Great tip!
So many great tips and ideas! Thank you
You are so welcome!
I especially like your perfect choice on the old bench with the yellow chippy paint.
Me too!
What a lucky find. Chippy sounds perfect!!
Omg my new favorite channel awesome tips (especially the handles popped into the cardboard box for painting) You are amazing!
Yay! Thank you!
Love all your ideas. You are lucky they let you take from your dump. Where I live they won’t let you which is a shame. 😢
Yes, we have an area where it gets it to the side. I wish more cities would allow this.
Love your up-cycling techs. Remember you can use Lin seed oil on wicker too. When I seen you varnish over the wicker plant stand and not apply Lin seed brought the thought to me of using Lin seed to slow down the cracking while you were working on it.
Great point!
I too just found a rocker!!! Free needs a little help as a slat is missing on the bottom so I have a large piece of tile cut to fit the seat. For the missing slat on the back I am just respacing the remaining ones. Add a hang pillow on the back and a lawnchair seat on top of the tile fits perfect. Wish I could share the photos !
Sounds like a fabulous find and project
WOW! That rocker turned out fantastic, and I love how the cabinet turned out.
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
I love the bench, wow
I love that yellow coffee table, I would use it inside my house...the sides and legs are so pretty.
I love it!
It's great that you can save so many things from the dump, at the dump!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed
I agree with painting the backs of everything. I used to sell lots of upcycled furniture in our store and always painted the back of every piece, otherwise it looks like you were just to cheap or lazy to do it, and it undermines the value of the piece and reflects badly on your attitude towards your work. Your endless ideas for everything of every size is very admirable.
Glad your enjoying
Genius!
Love the look really sweet
So glad!
I love the yellow your using too.
Id love to see you visit the dump and what you look for! I dont think our dumps around here organized the stuff! That would be fabulous if they did!
Thanks for watching
Oh my goodness, what beautiful creations!
Thank you so much!
I LUV UR BLACK CHALK PAINT...its so soft looking & really covers well👍👍👍
Yes works well
My favorite was the bench for your deck. Just love it.
Awesome! Thank you!
Projects are great! Very clever! But what really impresses me is that you are painting in your "family room" with your new sweater on & there is not a drop of paint anywhere but on the project!!! Regarding stripped screw heads....I put a rubber band on between the screwdriver & screw & out it comes as the rubber grips the screw head! 🤗😁💕
Haha! It doesn’t always work out that great! I’m usually a mess…
Thank you for sharing your tips.
I love all of your upcycling projects ❤️❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
I would save all ur projects that old yellow bench was amazing
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
You are amazing, your creation are fantastic 😎🧡👍

It's amazing the stuff people throw away. Perfectly good stuff they could donate to the Restore or St Vincent de Paul or even list on Freecycle.
I agree
Vary nice love it ❤
Thanks a lot 😊
That cabinet was gorgeous ❤❤
I think so too!
You are just AMAZING! Love watching your videos!
Thank you so much!
I love the bench you stained with the paint 👍😎🧡
Me too much for watching
I love all the ideas! I'd like to add a suggestion if I may...when using a torch, it's usually recommended to go WITH the grain instead of against it.😏
Great point!
