Zara amazing 😍 i always use rustoleum chalk paint in my furniture upcycle videos. Never ever knew you could do this. I really need a grey pouffe or footstool. Maybe i could buy one off ebay and try this instead. So impressed.
Super talented xx
Deffo consider it if it be cheaper! But so chuffed with it hun! Thank you xxx
It turned out amazing! Didn't even knew that this existed hehe
Thank you lovely I am chuffed with it 🥰😁xxx
I AM SUPER GRATEFUL I CAME ACROSS YOUR VID. Alot of the vids online are re-upholstery or American.
First off I want to say, your sofas were squeaky clean compared to mine!
I bought my sofa 6 years ago, its a corner recliner suite without cushions which can be removed, but the seats can come apart. After watching your vid i'm super excited to give it a go.
My sofa is a corduroy beigey brown colour. Going for a medium to dark grey colour. ITS GOING TO takes ages but im determined to have it done before summer.
Thank you, for the vid, everything has been explained crystal clear. Wish me luck and il defo give you a thumbs up.
I have a couple questions.
Where did you get the paint? Is it available from store like Wickes,b n q etc?
And
Does it have to be chalk paint?
What a great idea!...I am switching my colors from brown to light grey and I have a recliner that I'd like to keep. I googled to see if there was a way to change the color of a fabric recliner and that's how I found you! Can't wait to try it! Thanks.
No problem thanks for watching! Xxx
Looks great
.🙂
this looks amazing!!
Aww thank you lovely, certainly much better than it was!💖😁xx
Great video
What a difference looks great - very brave doing it but what a difference love it 🥰
Aww thanks sar, I'm so happy! Eirther way I was going to get a new one if I ruined it anyway xxxx
did you do another coat since the first time? im painting my olive green couch white and I think it needs 4 coats.
Hay Zara, great vid and you may have saved me from sofa bed embarrassment!! What size paint pots were they please, you said you used 3, but would love to know ml, thanks!
This is great. I’m really considering doing this to my dark brown IKEA sofa. How’s your sofa been since you painted it, one year on?
I like the two tone gray furniture
They looks very elegant love you’r living room design you would never know you had toddlers very very pretty much
Aww thank you very much doreen it doesn't always look like this tho jbcan assure you lol xxx
You’re so ballsy doing that ! Well done !!!! My hubby won’t let me try anything like this on ours the miserable swine 😂😂😂 how did u do the cushions ? My back cushions covers don’t come off 😞 . Xxxx
I've got same issues, but im hoping to make a start and let hubby deal with it. Im going to paint direct on to the back cushions, cant see any other way around it. Best of luck
What type of sandpaper do you use?
I have a huge crushed velvet bed I’m so tempted, it’s lovely bt got it wrong ordering black 😩
Do you think this will work with a chenille couch?
Hi - Did you have to clean your sofa first?
Hi looks amazing! I missed the fabric softener part... when did you use that please? Thanks for this what a great idea! :D
Aww thank you much better improvement than before, the fabric softer happens before so you spray the softer with fabric softener and water before you paint it! Xxx
💗
It looks great! Can I ask how it’s help up and how you clean it now?
Its held up great hun, tbh its make it easier to clean as the paint as acted as a barrier almost and most stuff just wipes straight off. Xx
Looks lush! I‘m wanting to paint mine as well but I’m so worried about transfer 🥺 so you didn’t put any sealant on it?
Haven't have any transfer luca, and I also did not use any sealant. It was a brilliant alternative to a new sofa xx
Lindo!
Thank you!😘💗
Hi, thanks for sharing this great video! Could I ask what type of brush you used? Also, do you need to do anything differently if you're going from a dark colour (brown) to a much lighter colour?
Hi there I’m looking for the same thing… did you do anything different to your couches? I’m wanting to go from dark brown to light grey.
My question too, because there's a company paint I was going to buy but didn't because it said you can't paint a lighter colour :(
Hi! What was your paint to water ratio please? Also, What kind and how much fabric softer did you use? Thanks and great job!
Do 50/50
How many quarts would you say it took for one coat? It looks amazing!
I only dont one on the sofa! Could do with one more but it's time consuming so one is fine for now! Still looks great! Xx
What fabric was your sofa
Hello😊 your sofa turned out absolutely gorgeous!
I wonder if you can help me, I also painted a sofa, with the same technique, it looks really nice but if you sit on it it's super dusty and you have paint on your body. I don't want to sand the last coat because the sanding removes the brightness of the color, and I don't want to wax it because I like the way the fabric feels right now.
Do you have any ideas or tricks on how I can make that sofa usable after painting it?
Hi Georgina, thank you. Aww sorry your having this issue. I do think it's down to you not sanding if enough previously tho, or the paint mixture may have been to thick. Apart from sanding I don't know what else to suggest I'm sorry. Wax would probably work but it turns it more into a leather then if you get me. Sorry I can't be of more help. I hope you find something that works zxx
@@ZaraMichaela thank you so much for your help, I'll keep looking😊 and yeah I guess my coats were actually too thick. I think I don't come around waxing it🙈
Looks great
Sorry if i missed it but what grit did you use?
Thank jess! :) all I used was rustoleum chalk paint, fabric conditioner and a basic sanding block from Wilkinson xxx
Can I have an update of the sofa 2 years later
definitely trying this, how do you sand it down? Just with sand paper?
Definitely worth a time, I am 3 months on now and it's still great! I bought a sanding block hun you can get them in most diy sections in shops xx
@@ZaraMichaela I have an electric circular sander with the option of putting different grit strength pads on it. Will that be ok to do bc I'm all about fast yet efficient work and detail. I absolutely love those Hoover lines! So stunning and what a natural talent/gift you have sweetheart! I wish you could paint mine bc that's professional work in my eyes! #speechless #breathtakinglygorgeous💖🧐💖🧐😉
@@robyn9513 aww thank you for your kind words lovely! My honest answer on the sander would be I'm unsure, depending on if your sofa was worn at all it my rip the fabric if it's to harsh of a sander, so maybe try a part of your sofa that isn't on show, or if you are unsure just use a regular sanding block j would to be safe. Xxx
Love this! Did I miss it? What color of Rust-oleum Chalk Paint did you use?!
Aww thank you. Its colour winter grey! 😁😘
@@ZaraMichaela Thanks so much!
WATCHED THE START OF YOUR VIDEO AND YES I THOUGHT YOU WERE NUTS! HOW WRONG WAS I ,WELL DONE KID A GREAT JOB.👌👍😊😎🏴
I know I think that's alot of people first reaction lol untill they see the results 😂 thank you!😃
Would this work on outdoor cushions that would get wet when it rains
Yes. Seal after
Fab
Thank you:)
Looks amazing and I’m definitely going to try this! How long did it take to dry? And did you remove cushions from covers to paint or leave them in? Xx
Worth a go! Mine still looks great now over a year on! It took a full 24hrs to dry make sure you give it plenty of time! But summer is coming so maby a great project for then. I left the cushions in hun xx
They look amazing!! Do they feel leathery at all? I really want to paint my sofa but I am worried that it will turn out with a leathery look/feel, I want mine to stay soft and spongy xx
No hun, I have seen some go leathery! But my is still soft as ever you wouldnt know to feel it. Aslong as you add in fabric soften to the water and sand it down after its dry it will be absolutely fine!!!!😘😁
ZaraMichaela - oh wow I'm excited to try it! Thanks so much 😘😘xx
@@mayaroseofficial no problems I am nearly a year on now vwqq2 2123yĺ9qi10apspsmkamakskskKzmzzmzmskwlwlakslslspspspszlldselel, ,n,mmskdldel
Love it!
Hiya, do marks get off the sofa if something is spilt on it? Xx
Yes they do, and I find they remove easier as the paint acts as a barrier xx
Perfect thank u xx
hiyaa, did you sand it once it was completely dry?
I did yes only lightly just to make sure it was exactly the same softness as previously! :) xxx
So how long did it really take to dry completely?
About 24 hrs but thT was with the heating on xx
I have done half my sofa using your method and unfortunately the material has gone really hard/crunchy type texture... how can I soften it please? Any tips? I used your method and did fabric softener but still crunchy and scratchy texture. Do you think water mixed with more fabric conditioner will help soften it?
Hello, have you been sanding it in between coats? I would use warm water with fabric softener spray it and lightly sand it down. Hope this helps xxx
@@ZaraMichaela I think I didn't add enough water to the paint when I started painting it so it's my fault really! Thank you so much for the advice, I will definitely try the warm water and softener, what sand paper would you recommend? Xxx
@@aneekavirmani2325 no worries! :) any sandpaper will do! I used a sanding block as it was easier you will find one of these in any hardware store, don't over sand though as you don't want to think your fabric to much and risk a tear xxx
Does it have to be that brand of paint or any chalk paint ?? X
I think any chalk paint would be fine hun, aslong as watered down. :) xx
It looks great! How much fabric softener did you use ?
Not loads hun just a splash no real measure lol xx
1 year update?
Hi, so you didn’t water down your paint, just sprayed sofa then painted straight from the pot?
She says make it runny ie add water
Manena mixture of 50/50
How much did this project cost in total?
Hi tiffany, it cost in total around £40 this was for the cost of paint. I had the brush, and fabric conditioner already I did pay £1 odd for the sanding block also xxx
I didn't know you could even do this
Does it stay soft?
Yes lovely aslong as you use the fabric softener in with the water and sand it down xx
@@ZaraMichaela awesome thankyou!
Ronseal or rustoleum? U said ronseal but showed the rustlers.
I meant rustoleum 😂😂👍
Hola buenos días
Hello good day to you too!😁💗
How is it holding up
Great chris, as of yet no problems:)
Paint isnt for fabric even tho a few of these well known chalk paint gurus tried it. Thats why there fabric tint!
