Jami I 💗 the idea of putting a flower arrangement in a magazine rack! I have one my Grandmother made in college many years ago and now I'm excited to use it again!!! I'm thinking IOD transfers on the side.
I have the entire set that the rooster cookie jar goes to and was dying to see you paint it. There is just a few minutes left and I guess you are not going to get to it. Lol Enjoyed the video anyway! Love you guys!
Sometime you might want to paint a tool carrier to go in a baby area.They're just the right size to stock diapers, wipes and creams and plastic used diaper bags. Then you can go out to the yard or just move away from the changing table, especially if you need to climb stairs to get to it. Your colors are pretty for a baby, but they blend with the rest of the house too. Thanks for sharing your techniques.
Jami, I agree that’s a ugly green on that tin basket, you go girl, I am watching your old Videos, yes I Love your new place, the old Farm House is beautiful
When it ever decides to warm up here in NH I have so many items in my garage & cottage house to paint. You gave me so many ideas on painting items that I never thought of.
Try off loading your paint onto a paper towel when you stencil. You need a dry brush so the paint doesn't bleed under the stencil. Love your finds. Like your style. Cute things in your shop!
Oh Jami-I saw that video a little while ago and really enjoyed it-now I have serious shop envy! Your store is so cute. I thought that it would be interesting to see you evaluate your set up and staging and what your thought process is as you display things-what you think is working for you and why, and what you think is not working and why.
Jami, try awesome spray ...the yellow one from dollar tree. It will take that grease off of any thing...I use it on my stove hood all the time.. It will take all that old grease off that rooster.
Do you have to seal the handles of the rolling pin in order to use and wash it? Will you Prime the rooster before painting it to avoid chipping? I bought some high bond primer from you guys, super excited to try it on some veneered bookshelves. I love how you guys just go at these projects! I’m better at just collecting things to paint over getting them painted....
We seal the rolling pin handles with DIY clear wax. I’m not going to prime the chicken, the diy paint will stick to it pretty well. I would use high bond on shiny veneer though.
Try Goodwills on Houghton/Golflinks & Broadway/Old Spanish Trail. Also and there is a little thrift store on Pima/Craycroft ne corner Miracle Center Furniture. Lots of old lady stuff.
You sweet thing, you. The 70’s weren’t disco dancing in my world. It was all about Led Zeppelin rock, baby. Dating myself (66). Thanks for your great videos.
Well, I was young then and kind of stupid. It was a lot of fun. But I used that to raise, watch and monitor our beautiful daughters. They didn’t get away with anything. Lol. ❤️
Darn I will mis the live again. My baby is graduating from High School next weekend. They grow to fast 😞 But I will definitely watch it later Love you both❤️❤️❤️
You'll be MILES AHEAD if you dry brush stencil! No bleed around. tap off the paint on paper towel about 3 times. Takes a bit longer, but results are best.
Lol. I don’t always have an order set in mind. Sometimes when I’m feeling creative I just start painting and deal with things as they come. Not always the best method. No rhyme or reason to it really. Just picked up a brush and started.
Do you ever look up values of things you buy before you paint them? Like that cookie jar for instance? Just wondering... Love watching you guys can't wait to get my paint.
Sometimes. But usually not. I’ve had things that are valued in the 100’s of dollars as is and tried to sell them and no one is interested in the piece at that price and I end up hanging onto something for months. We tend to try to make our little bit and move on to the next piece.
Maybe you’ve already done this sometime, but I was thinking a not too detailed chicken like the one you painted white in this video might look cool with the small stencil words that are underneath the larger main words and say something like “ Fresh Eggs” it would have to be the right chicken tho... could be cute! Like it was once a sign or display...
Just paint over. If it’s really slick (can see your reflection in the finish) we’ll scuff it up with some 220 grit sand paper to knock the shine off and then paint.
We usually have follow up videos on the projects the following Monday. Also you can almost always see finished projects in the community tab here on UA-cam if we don’t do a full video on a piece. The live videos with the 🔴 in the title are typically show and tell what we found and Q and A type videos. Too much to get to and complete a project while still live. The paint doesn’t dry fast enough.
I’m binge watching your shows! And, I have one of those magazine racks that you are spray painting. I have a question - some of the veneer is peeling off - so I’m concerned about painting it bc it will just keep peeling. Normally we’d use wood filler if it was “real wood” but with this top layer of veneer I’m guessing there’s no point using wood filler. What do you recommend? Really appreciate your guidance. Love your channel!
I got the white chicken at my DI awhile ago, they had 2 and one had a little chip, I wonder if they sent it up there!,,,, funny can’t wait to see what you do!!!!!!
Jami Ray Vintage come visit anytime!!!!! Love 1/2 price Saturday’s!!!! I finally placed an order the other day!!!! I can’t wait, I’m an AnnieSloan fan so I’m excited to see how it goes!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
The pitcher is lead glass...a lot made by Fostoria and if it’s marked usually blue sticker with name on it. I have 3 of those scales and they were a household staple in a 50s kitchen. Jamie I have one exactly like the one you have and have had it in my space for months priced at $15 bucks...I am so frustrated with the space I’m in I pay outrageous rent ...I’ve mentioned that before and just seems like nothing is moving!! Do you find the summers slower in sales?
Sometimes. We used to notice a bad drop off with summer markets when we did them. The last couple of years furniture sales have been steady during the summer. Not great, but not bad either.
Mostly just water. If I forget and leave them out I soak them in fabric softener for a few hours and then rinse them out. I use charcoal soap on my paint pixie brushes.
Just wondering is all glass that’s white, milk glass? Or is there some defining marks to look for that makes it milk glass? My good will has a lot of white items like that, but I don’t know what I’m looking for in that realm. Thanks for answering❤️
Milk glass has an opaque quality to it. It’s white but it almost looks like it could be a little see through? That’s the best way I can think of describing it.
Good milk glass companies Fenton has a fancy “F” on the bottom and Westmorland has usually a “W” on it...not always easy to see. If you google “milk glass” you can see the different marks they use and that tells you how old they are.. just fyi😊
How did you find your own DIY paint? I have great pieces should I rent a space for $100 per month at an antique mall here in Oregon. They give you a space for 100 a month and they keep 10% and you don't have to be there. Also what type of price tags do you price your items with darlin? I want my own little shop like you guys.
Susan Velez our price tags are our business cards and we print out sku’s from quick books. We don’t own our shop we rent our space. We pay $175 plus 15% for two rooms. The shop we sell at doesn’t do booth rent it’s just us and her. We love it!
Repositionable Spray Tack by Aleene's on your Stencils and NEVER BLEED Stenciling..FYI After 14 Years of Trying something that WORKS it is MAGIC :)!!!!
I had an auction piece with the drawer in the wrong slot, my husband didn’t want to buy it because it was messed up. I had to whisper in his ear trust me. We got it a water fall 5 drawer chest for $10. We got it home and I put the drawers in the right slot and he laughed because we got the nicest piece of the night for practically free.
How do I find barn sales or shows to sell my stuff at? I have gone to a few barn sales that rent space to vendors but I have never seen any that advertise/look for vendors.
Best way is to look for sales or markets around you on social media. When I put a market on I advertise months in advance. If you can’t find who runs the market the vendors will know. 👍 Hope that helps.
U guys are just stunning together .Brings back memories for me.Keep loving each other.
You two are so cute in this video. Both of you have the perfect personalities to do this online❤
I like how u cover your table and paint inside when weather is not good
You guys are fantastic😘 I love to watch your videos 🤗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍 genial 😀❤️
Great! I’ll do a search for your video on it. Thank you! I watch your show a lot and really like it. Thank you!
I think you guys are great.
I'm so proud to see that hubby knows how to correctly stencil - straight on & stipple.
I love the way you two work off each other!!
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. I am so inspired by your creativity!❤
Awe, thanks!
Jami I 💗 the idea of putting a flower arrangement in a magazine rack! I have one my Grandmother made in college many years ago and now I'm excited to use it again!!! I'm thinking IOD transfers on the side.
you guys are so cute together I love listening to you both talk to one another!
Awww, you’re sweet! ❤️
" lifes Better with you"... you guys are too cute!
Awwww, thanks! ❤️❤️
I shared your video with one of my daughters.....she has just started to learn to paint with Chalk paint.
Thanks Mom!
White vinegar works great to cut all kinds of grime and won’t harm the finish. Love your redo’s!
I love Pyrex bowls!! Great for everything! You guys do cute work.
I enjoyed your video, this is my first time watching your channel and I subscribed.
Thanks!
I really liked the white hen b4 you painted it...
I have the entire set that the rooster cookie jar goes to and was dying to see you paint it. There is just a few minutes left and I guess you are not going to get to it. Lol Enjoyed the video anyway! Love you guys!
I love the green color of the basket type thing.
Sometime you might want to paint a tool carrier to go in a baby area.They're just the right size to stock diapers, wipes and creams and plastic used diaper bags.

Fun! Come on warm weather!
If love to see that blanket that y'all use to cover your counter lol. It would be art no doubt.
For sure!
Love the JRV shirt.
I wanted to see you paint the rooster.
Your guys work really good together tfs
Try off loading your paint onto a paper towel when you stencil. You need a dry brush so the paint doesn't bleed under the stencil. Love your finds. Like your style. Cute things in your shop!
Zeb, great job !!!
Swivels to raise and lower the pianist. Love your small hauls.
Oh can you make a video of how you arrange your shop!? that would be so cool to see!
ua-cam.com/video/WV8YR30hiMM/v-deo.html
This is a video I did 3 weeks ago. 👍❤️
Oh Jami-I saw that video a little while ago and really enjoyed it-now I have serious shop envy! Your store is so cute.
I thought that it would be interesting to see you evaluate your set up and staging and what your thought process is as you display things-what you think is working for you and why, and what you think is not working and why.
I do belive that it is a crystal mug indeed 😉
I hope you do a video on making the entry table. I have some legs that I would like to use for that.
The organic produce looks good. Love the stool too
Thanks!
That is definitely a piano stool😊
Hey do you two ever get onion or potato boxes? Clean paint and use for bathroom storage.. for small bathrooms they are Awesome! Love your channel
Jami, try awesome spray ...the yellow one from dollar tree. It will take that grease off of any thing...I use it on my stove hood all the time.. It will take all that old grease off that rooster.
Nice! I’ll try it!
When I clean old dusty grimy things I use non smelly oven cleaner. Let it foam up then I wash it off.
Great teamwork!
Yum yum din din time
I really want to see how you paint the big chicken
Do you have to seal the handles of the rolling pin in order to use and wash it? Will you Prime the rooster before painting it to avoid chipping?
I bought some high bond primer from you guys, super excited to try it on some veneered bookshelves.

Sounds good! ❤️
you can add the veggie or pastry small stencils
You sweet thing, you. The 70’s weren’t disco dancing in my world. It was all about Led Zeppelin rock, baby. Dating myself (66). Thanks for your great videos.
Sounds like you did the 70’s right!
Well, I was young then and kind of stupid. It was a lot of fun. But I used that to raise, watch and monitor our beautiful daughters. They didn’t get away with anything. Lol. ❤️
Hi guys! Just some FYI. If you turn chairs or stools over their easier to paint. Don’t ask me why, but they are...tables too.
This is me pretty much every night lol. There's always something to paint... or repaint😂
Will you guys show the process of doing the wax on some pieces and/or the distressing? Or do you already have a video on this?
Darn I will mis the live again. My baby is graduating from High School next weekend. They grow to fast 😞
But I will definitely watch it later
Love you both❤️❤️❤️
The little bird would look lovely with a moss ball instead of candle😊 or pin cushion
Yeah it would!
You guys are so cute!
❤️❤️
Remember ................OFF LOAD OFF LOAD OFF LOAD on a paper towel!!! Love ya, les
You must have wonderful thrift stores in your area.
Some days are better than others but we do find good things on a regular basis.
Jami I’ll buy a shirt from you!! Please consider making one that says, All About That Chippy Life
You'll be MILES AHEAD if you dry brush stencil! No bleed around. tap off the paint on paper towel about 3 times. Takes a bit longer, but results are best.
Hazel L. A makeup sponge is the way to go. Light coat at first and you won't have any bleeding.
Jami....I've been watching you paint that tool caddy and I wondered why you painted the handle before you painted the inside???
Lol. I don’t always have an order set in mind. Sometimes when I’m feeling creative I just start painting and deal with things as they come. Not always the best method. No rhyme or reason to it really. Just picked up a brush and started.
Do you ever look up values of things you buy before you paint them? Like that cookie jar for instance? Just wondering... Love watching you guys can't wait to get my paint.

If you dab some of the paint on a paper towel you could take some excess paint off.
Gosh I live in Tucson AZ so hope I get the notice when you go live.
u can use black paint to your utensil
Those brushes are the only brushes that were sold 27 years ago.
Love your video's
Thanks! ❤️❤️
Hi!!! I have some nice baskets but they are very dark and I’d like to know if I could chalk paint them??? I haven’t seen that being done.
Yes you can! We paint baskets all the time.
Hi
So you use the same chalk paint you use on wood as you do on ceramic? And you don’t have to prep any of these?
Nope. Just clean and paint. A little prep doesn’t hurt on really slick surfaces but it sticks really well to most things.
Maybe you’ve already done this sometime, but I was thinking a not too detailed chicken like the one you painted white in this video might look cool with the small stencil words that are underneath the larger main words and say something like “ Fresh Eggs” it would have to be the right chicken tho... could be cute! Like it was once a sign or display...
We’ve never stenciled a chicken. 😊
Y'all find awesome stuff at thrift stores there we have nothing even close to that at our thrift stores in sc.
It took some digging today! I was getting nervous by store 2
Breads and pies on rolling pin and Organic Produce on box
Super Clean works great on grease. Look in the automotive section for it. Purple bottle
When a piece is varnished, do you just paint over it, or do you remove the varnish?
Just paint over. If it’s really slick (can see your reflection in the finish) we’ll scuff it up with some 220 grit sand paper to knock the shine off and then paint.
I liked watching this, ...but not being able to see it finished left me hanging....js ✌🌻

What do you use to clean your stencils? We have a hard time getting them cleaned
I’ve just been using water. The water based paints we use wash off pretty easy if I don’t let them sit too long.
What paint are you using?
Did you two paint your kitchen cabinets? is so was it with your chalk paint?
Sure did.

That is my mom's old bar stool. Did you get it in SL?

I would use all purpose bondo. It’s very strong and cures hard and sands to shape easily. ❤️❤️
Hi guys! Do you have videos showing wet distressing and in distressing in general?
ua-cam.com/video/5JUweqywoWo/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/mn6wscZGM0Q/v-deo.html
Here are a couple of videos I’ve done in distressing.
Thank you. I will check them out.
I love that green caddy. What color did you end up spraying it?
We sprayed it white and brought some of the green back through.
Farm Fresh
Sure wish you lived near me in Ohio. I’m cleaning out my parents home and mine.....lots of nice “smalls” I’m nearly giving away at yard sale. 🙁
Awe man! That sounds like good pickin!
On you smalls, have you ever do a crackle finish, to make it more interesting? (and more expensive)
not yet but I should!
I got the white chicken at my DI awhile ago, they had 2 and one had a little chip, I wonder if they sent it up there!,,,, funny can’t wait to see what you do!!!!!!
Love DI’s. I wish we had goodwills up here. I miss half off Saturday.
Jami Ray Vintage come visit anytime!!!!! Love 1/2 price Saturday’s!!!! I finally placed an order the other day!!!! I can’t wait, I’m an AnnieSloan fan so I’m excited to see how it goes!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yay!

You may have missed end of my comment....do you find sales drop off in summer? We live close to the beach on East Coast everyone goes to the beach!
Sometimes. We used to notice a bad drop off with summer markets when we did them. The last couple of years furniture sales have been steady during the summer. Not great, but not bad either.
Hi! I just want to know the paints you use ?
Are they chalk paints or enamel paints?
Chalk type paints. Here’s a video on the differences of the 3 paints we use.
ua-cam.com/video/dS-gydBE8Bo/v-deo.html
How long do you leave your brushes in the ziplock bag?
Longer than I should! Usually not kore than a few hours but sometimes I forget. We’ve got a video coning out this week on brush care.
How do you wash your brushes out? What doyou use? My husband hates to wash out milk paint brushes.
Mostly just water. If I forget and leave them out I soak them in fabric softener for a few hours and then rinse them out. I use charcoal soap on my paint pixie brushes.
Just wondering is all glass that’s white, milk glass? Or is there some defining marks to look for that makes it milk glass? My good will has a lot of white items like that, but I don’t know what I’m looking for in that realm. Thanks for answering❤️

The pitcher could be lead glass. It will ting if you hit it with a spoon. Most just have a sticker stating they are lead glass.
I’ll check it out!
whimsicalendeavors yes, also the weight of it is a tell. lead is heavy. so, a piece would weigh more than cut glass.
uhm...you are the perfect couple!
❤️❤️
You need an apron, farm house style.
What kind of painting are you using? I am learning and dont know nothing about it but i love to paint
We’re using DIY paints. They are clay based and heavily pigmented.

Are you sure that the little glass pitcher isn't Waterford crystal?? Look it up.
Repositionable Spray Tack by Aleene's on your Stencils and NEVER BLEED Stenciling..FYI After 14 Years of Trying something that WORKS it is MAGIC :)!!!!
Nice!
I wanted to see how the rooster turned out....
I'm thinking the crystal water pitcher is Gorham.
I got an old dresser for $25.00 . One of the drawers need to be reglued. What's the best glue to use?
I use titebond II. It’s super strong, water resistant. -Zeb
I had an auction piece with the drawer in the wrong slot, my husband didn’t want to buy it because it was messed up. I had to whisper in his ear trust me. We got it a water fall 5 drawer chest for $10. We got it home and I put the drawers in the right slot and he laughed because we got the nicest piece of the night for practically free.
Yes! I love this. 👍❤️
Some people collect that shade of green
