    I really like how quick and concise you are in explaining how you work. So many people have too long of explanations and video rambling.

      The number one reason I skip a video is the length of time it takes to get to the point. So thank you for your efficient, and excellent, presentations!

    Awesome job, as usual!!! 💚
    You ok with a helpful hint? I keep pieces of styrofoam on hand so if i need to paint heads of screws, i just stick them into the styrofoam so all heads are facing up. (Be sure to re-use the styrofoam on other projects!)

    Yes, oh yes, I'm glad you implied some crucial steps, like taking the hardware off before paint, and brush strokes too. Thumbs up for me, some other cats miss those steps

    Can't stop watching Elysia English. She not only has great ideas and projects but she has an amazing personality and energy that comes across in all her videos. Especially love the trash (dump) to treasures. Wish I had a dump that was as accessible. Keep up the great work

    I like the way it turned out. One suggestion is to replace the felt inside the one drawer. Thanks for all your pointers.

  • @angelawhite7140
    @angelawhite7140 5 років тому +12

    Tip or trick? I stick screws & door knobs in a piece of cardboard head up so that I can spray paint easily. Also avoids any paint build up or problems when reattaching. Especially those that are already somewhat stripped. I can also turn around & get all sides in usually 1 shot.

    • @AMcDub0708
      @AMcDub0708 5 років тому +1

      Angela White me too! Learned this from my hubby after doing it the hard way 😆 But she had so many little screws that it probably would’ve taken longer to do it that way than to just spray it and let them roll around.

    My sister did a calwfoot tub to then she painted the outside of the tub with lace. It is beautiful. She did have trouble with the inside of it but she got it with white paint. After 20years she had to redo the inside but the outside still looks great

    Hi Elysia, I always watch your repainting jobs, and im happy to continue to watch more and more nin future. Nice Green, love this color. Im sorry, i dont know if this video allowed only for lesser or short time, but i got distracted by Elysia talk too fast and couldn't hear what she says but i can understand by looking at the video. Forgive me for pointing this out. Most of us here is learning and its importance to speak clear to share the information and experience.
    Either read in clear or share in the note/description area. Best of luck Elysia!!
