wow, i was sure in that shot of you talking the chair was covered with faux leather! couldn't believe it was simply painted and waxed over. Looks great, Danie!
Well howdy Drew! That comment means a lot coming from you. You inspire me too! I'll look out for your take on painted furniture ;) Do me one better - I know you got this! 😁✌
If you both and Alexandra Gater did a Collab I would just about die of happiness! Love you all, you’re all so inspiring and my room/house thanks you for it! ❤️😂
Re: the raised stitching on the chair -- Embossed leather is a thing! I'm amazed by the result! I've seen people paint chairs before, but yours actually looks like something you'd actually keep after the video is posted (if I'm allowed to be blunt! lol). Way to go Daine!
Heck yeah! ✌😁 Listen, let me be clear - I will NEVER make a DIY for the sake of a video. It's so wasteful! I only DIY a project if I plan to keep it OR if it's for someone else! That's a promise.
I always wonder about some people that do diy videos. I'm like so what ate you going to do with it now? Especially those that mainly do dollar store diys.
@@kiki29073 I agree, I see these "40 dollar tree DIY!" weekly videos and I'm like...there's no way you're keeping every single one of those kitschy crafts you just made...
OMG, Danie!! You have outdone yourself with these!! I can’t even pick a favorite- each one made me gasp!! The chair was just the perfect ending for this video!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I cannot choose a favorite! They are all amazing! I love the fabric on that footstool and that it came from an article of clothing, awesome! That chair is incredible. ...and that beautiful pink lamp and lampshade. Gorgeous! AND...your Mom's art studio, you lucky duck, I could get lost in there for weeks!
The driving through Ontario in the winter footage was already a CanCon moment but the Stuart Mclean books on the footstool brought it to a whole other Canadian Mom's place level. I know it's just a background detail but it gave me a very warm homey familiar vibe which is important right now. Nice projects! I LOVE how the lamps turned out!
Brought back memories of my mother faux painting a couch in red pleather. it was scratchy! but I really didn't give her enough credit for her DIYs!! The lamps are my favourite.
I did the leather look process to my dining chairs and my couch when they needed some sprucing up, it made them look fab I was so pleased, brilliant job Danie with all the makeovers as per usual👌
I don’t know how you don’t have way more subscribers. You’re videos are awesome & you’re clearly very handy and know what you’re doing! I’m tired of watching DIY-er videos of people who just know how to repaint things. 😂 So glad I found your channel !! Can’t wait to see what you do next 💕💕
That chair is fantastic. I've watched Debi, of DIY paint, paint upholstered furniture with her paint but, she does it differently. She almost dyes it with paint and water.
Paint is ordered! I am definitely trying this paint combination on a chair I've had for years. The chair is so well made and comfy but I really didn't want to spend the money to get it reupholstered. I LOVE the leather look! The color combination and wax look fantastic. I can't wait!!! Thanks, Danie!
Two of your videos and I’m a fan!!! 1. The chair was my favorite. 2. Your editing is fun to watch... love how you can be creative with mom! And 3. Fun days on the road with your puppy! Cute!!!
Love the pink lamp the most! And I'm really curious about how the paint job will last on fabric. I totally get what you mean by crusty 😂 i tried painting fabric before and it sounds amazing that the chair isn't stiff and crunchy haha
It wears amazing, and actually repels anything liquid as well because of the paint and wax barrier. It does get slightly stiff, but that’s the feel of leather anyway. I love this technique.
Emily Cole no, not at all. You have to use thinned out paint as this is more a dyeing technique rather than painting, which makes the paint less rigid. Also stretches it out so you need less. There are many chalk painting fabric videos on UA-cam. Just watch a few to see all the techniques and do what works for you.
@Emmy Bentley watch Debi's Design Diary. She created diy paint brand a clay base paint. She does it differently. She has done a couch and other pieces. Her couch in her house was done years ago and still looks gorgeous. Her way is like dying it and leaves material soft not leather like.
I thought for such a project (aka furniture you sit on) you'd need to add fabric paint medium to make the paint more supple? I've been dying to do my couch like this!
I've been trying to find the Annie Sloan chalk paint and I have not been able to find it I will love to know where did you buy the Annie Sloan paint at
That chair was amazing! I've got a tub chair that my Pops gave me when my Nana died, it was her chair she sat in everyday so is very special to me. I've been wanting to get it reupholstered but it's guna cost me about $400! I thought about trying to sew my own slip cover, but now I'm thinking that maybe I could give this a go, I guess if I ruin it that I'll just have to fork out the $400 to get it recovered!
Amazing video!! I love all the diy and your mom's art studio!!! I would love to see more videos at your mom's place again!!!!❤️👏✌️✌️✌️✌️😍😍😍❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏cool!!!
I am doing this to a microfiber club chair following the directions to a T. We've had the chair for more than 15 years, is well-made and has been well-loved by dogs and humans. It was tired, stained, and destined for the trash heap. I am on coat three of the paint and it looks AMAZING. The microfiber feels like suede--even after 3 coats of paint it's still not super scratchy. I can't wait to get to the wax phase--this is going to be our new favorite "leather" club chair--and I didn't have to spend $1000 on a new one!
Awesome Job on This! I painted a Louis Chair about 10 years ago, and shared it on my blog and Instagram. It's still in my livingroom and still looks amazing. We've sat on it a million times and it's held up so well. It also had a pattern to the fabric beneath that only added to the look. It's solid white, and I love it. I love the details you added to address the leather look. And that footstool! Beyond cute, the lamps too, very talented young lady! Great job!
It’s very useful video. This is my first time accessing your UA-cam. Looking at your natural reactions is so fun! I think your mom grew you up with huge loves.
Kit Lang No wax will cure after about 30 days so use it minimally til then. Look at Debi’s Design Diary channel on YT. She painted a velvet couch years ago. It does not transfer color. She used a different sealer though.
So awesome. My husband and I just purchased a mid century modern home. And I love the idea of finding a table and matching chairs for that era. I love turquoise and red. So thrift here I come. The house is only 1200 sq ft. but it's so cute. I want to go all mad mod! Love your channel. I stumbled across your channel to get my mind off the news. I'm an RN going in to take care of patients and my husband is driving on the road. Thanks for the inspiration!
The paint won't wear off but it may start to crack over time. I'll let you know though! It's holding up pretty well and I've heard great results from other creators who have had their chairs for 6 years +!!! Just take it slow, trust the process and give it good dry times in between!
These DIYs were EXACTLY, E-X-A-C-T-I-C-A-L-L-Y, what I needed. I have so much paint and more time than ever. I have plain unused lamps that need love! I cannot go to IKEA (it’s closed 😞) to replace a meh, but well loved chair! How did you know, Danie? How did you know? As my friends say, “Sending warm virtual hugs, sloppy puppy kisses, and sandpaper kitten baths.” ❤️❤️❤️
Omg look at those puppers. What are the dog’s names? If there’s a dog, imma like the video XD I absolutely love you Danie! Do you have an email to which we might send questions?
The lamp was my favorite; the shade came out great and the black splatter on the bottom made it look so cool. The chair is, well, I still can't get my mind around it. It is amazing and looks great in that space. I can't imagine painting a fabric chair. You have gone where only the brave can go!
Can I just say I was smiling and loving your energy. So refreshing to watch a video full of spark and fun ... your authentic self and sense of humor are priceless. Appreciate and great ideas.
Such inspired and inspiring project Danie. It's a toss up on the favorites....love both the pink lamp and the faux leather chair. I don't really need a chair, but I definitely have a lamp shade that I can tackle immediately and transform it thanks to you. Keep up the great work and providing so many of us that are at home with fantastic content.
DANIE....all the pieces are gorgeous! You did a wonderful job! I really like the chair and the idea to flick the paint on the lamp. Keep up the great work....I LOVE your mom's art room
Omg! Best trash to treasure (upcycle) video ever. I love them all! Well three 1st places (stool, chair, pink lamp) and 2nd place is splatter lamp. Great job!
Danie, Danie! What more can I say?! You did it again! Thank you so much for sharing your stay with your mom (she looks so cool to hang out with and OMG what a studio!). Your video editing again, just blows me away. I love seeing Canadian country side again! Thanks for that!
I know the star of the show is the chair (I'm still watching the vid) but that little bench was LIFE. As soon as you showed the mustard dress my heart leapt
wow, i was sure in that shot of you talking the chair was covered with faux leather! couldn't believe it was simply painted and waxed over. Looks great, Danie!
yes!!! great idea!!!! I wondered how did she reupholster so perfect?!!! I thought it was faux leather too!!!
OMG THESE PROJECTS! That chair was insane! Also your editing is so nice. So inspired right now :)
Well howdy Drew! That comment means a lot coming from you. You inspire me too! I'll look out for your take on painted furniture ;) Do me one better - I know you got this! 😁✌
Omg drew you inspire me
If you both and Alexandra Gater did a Collab I would just about die of happiness! Love you all, you’re all so inspiring and my room/house thanks you for it! ❤️😂
Lone fox I would looove to see you do a painted furniture piece! Like the ugliest fabric imaginable and turn it Lone Fox-worthy?
@@alyssahall9830 Dani, Drew McKenna and Alexandra 4 way collab would be mega fantastic.
I can't wait to paint my green chair! I never would've believed painting a fabric chair could be so incredible.
Wait wait WAIT - you painted the chair?!? Holy transformation batman! That looks amazing! Bravo Danie!

Yes . . . . vision. That is what you need when you see something that could be. Love these projects.
I CANNOT believe that chair!!!! OMG what an amazing DIY!!
RIGHT?!?
We need regular Chair Updates so we can follow how it wears!
@@llamasugar5478 Yes. We need to know longevity.
that chair is literally the best upcycle i think i've ever seen in my life.
Adding tacks around the arm front would really set the chair off. Loved everything! Great job.
Freakin genius. That first lampshade was gorgeous. Well done!
OMG, Danie!! You have outdone yourself with these!! I can’t even pick a favorite- each one made me gasp!! The chair was just the perfect ending for this video!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Nanci!!!! I agree - I simply love them all!
Nanci, thank you, I couldn't say that better. Totally agree with you. Every piece looks stunning. Wd, Danie👍🤩
I am speechless!! But you have changed my LIFE!!! Thank you!!
I couldn’t believe my eyes when you started to paint that chair 😂 it turned out amazing!!!!!
I cannot choose a favorite! They are all amazing! I love the fabric on that footstool and that it came from an article of clothing, awesome! That chair is incredible. ...and that beautiful pink lamp and lampshade. Gorgeous! AND...your Mom's art studio, you lucky duck, I could get lost in there for weeks!
Tell me about it! It's hard to leave!!!
That chair though, holy f... That came out freaking gorgeous.
You really wowed me this time! Still can't belive it's not leather but paint! Just wow!!!
The driving through Ontario in the winter footage was already a CanCon moment but the Stuart Mclean books on the footstool brought it to a whole other Canadian Mom's place level. I know it's just a background detail but it gave me a very warm homey familiar vibe which is important right now.
Nice projects! I LOVE how the lamps turned out!
🥰 Nothing like the feeling of home xo
1. i have painted chairs before!!
2. this made me miss my momma so much!!
what a blessing you and your momma could
do this together!! God bless
I originally watched this video when you first posted it and I'm very curious as to how it's held up one year later!
A viewer watching after two years and I would love to know too!!
I would love to know too!
Brought back memories of my mother faux painting a couch in red pleather. it was scratchy! but I really didn't give her enough credit for her DIYs!! The lamps are my favourite.
Danie, I love that you finished the bottom of the footstool (most people don’t bother). Cute!
The best chair makeover ever.
I did the leather look process to my dining chairs and my couch when they needed some sprucing up, it made them look fab I was so pleased, brilliant job Danie with all the makeovers as per usual👌
Did you use the annie sloan paint too? Or another brand?
How have they held up?
@@tiffphan1051 I want to know the same
Holy heck the chair was SO IMPRESSIVE!!
You were right. I'm shook
WOW!!! It’s hard to believe… it’s amazingly beautiful! You’re impressive talented ❤️
INSANE! I would never think you can PAINT an armchair. Whaaaaat??? And the result is aabsolutely stunning
I don’t know how you don’t have way more subscribers. You’re videos are awesome & you’re clearly very handy and know what you’re doing! I’m tired of watching DIY-er videos of people who just know how to repaint things. 😂

Of course !! Just keepin it real 😜
That chair is fantastic. I've watched Debi, of DIY paint, paint upholstered furniture with her paint but, she does it differently. She almost dyes it with paint and water.
Wow...that chair! I’ve reupholstered before and it’s the pits! Next time I’d try this method. 👍👍👍
ok the door as a headboard is everything!!!!
Can’t possibly pick a favorite; they are all so amazing.
Love all of these projects, but the CHAIR!!!
Paint is ordered! I am definitely trying this paint combination on a chair I've had for years. The chair is so well made and comfy but I really didn't want to spend the money to get it reupholstered. I LOVE the leather look! The color combination and wax look fantastic. I can't wait!!! Thanks, Danie!

I never would have thought to paint a chair like that!!
Two of your videos and I’m a fan!!!
1. The chair was my favorite. 2. Your editing is fun to watch... love how you can be creative with mom! And 3. Fun days on the road with your puppy! Cute!!!
We did this on an old chair loveseat and couch and so far we love the results!! Thank you for sharing!
Yes please!!! More videos like this for a happy distraction ❤💚💜💙💛
Love the pink lamp the most! And I'm really curious about how the paint job will last on fabric. I totally get what you mean by crusty 😂 i tried painting fabric before and it sounds amazing that the chair isn't stiff and crunchy haha
It's all about that WAX!!!
OMG THE FOOTSTOOL- so cute.
I would love to see how it wears! I’ve been thinking of doing this for a while now but I’ve been too chicken to do it in case it doesn’t wear well...
It does wear well and the nice thing is unlike upholstery, if you ever spill on it or get dirty, you can literally just touch up with paint!
It wears amazing, and actually repels anything liquid as well because of the paint and wax barrier. It does get slightly stiff, but that’s the feel of leather anyway. I love this technique.
Emily Cole no, not at all. You have to use thinned out paint as this is more a dyeing technique rather than painting, which makes the paint less rigid. Also stretches it out so you need less.

Annie Sloan would be proud of you if she saw that chair, the dark wax really did it for me ❤️🇬🇧
Brilliant job on that chair! Buffing it really took it to the next level! AMAZING 😍
I've been trying to find the Annie Sloan chalk paint and I have not been able to find it
I will love to know where did you buy the Annie Sloan paint at
What an amazing idea, painting the chair! It blows my mind how people come up with these ideas!
I loved all your pieces, my favorites were the pink lamp and the chair, I never knew you could do that to a fabric chair.
I am obsessed with that boho bench or stool! Soooooooo cute and very on trend
That chair was amazing! I've got a tub chair that my Pops gave me when my Nana died, it was her chair she sat in everyday so is very special to me.

OMG 😍 I'm shook at that chair! 😯 That's amazing! How is it to sit on? Does the wax or paint come off on you over time?
Any update on whether or not the wax paint comes off on clothes?

That. is. INcredible!! The faux leather chair is amazing. All projects were gorgeous! Thanks for presenting them.
Love that “leather chair” have you done a video on how it’s looking a year later?
By the way, thank you for your enthusiasm, inventiveness and skills.

The chair is the Queen of this upcycle for me!
After a year, how has the paint on the chair held up? Has it cracked at all? Are you still pleased with it?
It’s very useful video. This is my first time accessing your UA-cam. Looking at your natural reactions is so fun! I think your mom grew you up with huge loves.
Loved that pink lamp, and the chair. Question: will that wax lift onto clothing, especially when it gets some body heat in the mix?

I love how you have Stuart McLean books on the wee foot stool. ❤

Chair is a work of ART!!
The pink lamp is adorable.
I love how the lamp with the pink shade turned out

That chair! Gotta go out thrifting now to find one to work on! Fantastic inspiration, thanks Dani!
Very creative. I have to admit my mouth dropped opened watching the chair piece. I had no idea you could do that. Wow.

These are 4 of the best makeovers I have seen in a long time! I will definitely be doing my bedroom chair with this leather look!
Oh my God!! I’m very impressed with chair ... it’s beautiful job!
That chair is simply beautiful.
Danie, Danie! What more can I say?! You did it again! Thank you so much for sharing your stay with your mom (she looks so cool to hang out with and OMG what a studio!). Your video editing again, just blows me away. I love seeing Canadian country side again! Thanks for that!
