This is amazing. Shoutout to Kiva for preferring Lowes over Home Depot too.

@katyanderson7245 4 года назад

Absolutely! Lowe’s knows what’s up unlike Home Depot.

@freshslee 4 года назад

I agree, I drive miles pass Home Depot to go to Lowes.

@KivaBrent 3 года назад

Thank you so much!!!!! Lowe’s is better for their political reasons. Also, they have better stock and the workers tend to have more knowledge.

@doyen86 3 года назад

What political reasons? Did something happen? Crazy CEO comments?

@dw7939 3 года назад

@@doyen86 I want to know too, in case I need to stop going to Home Depot. Guess I will be trying to find out but it would be nice to know what the issue is so I could look up the right thing. Did you ever find out?

@joeyriddle 4 года назад

Fantastic job!!!! I was a professional artist for many years, and I ALWAYS stretched my own canvases. Especially for custom commissions. If I may, you could invest in a nice pair of canvas pliers, from any art supply, and save your hands🤗

@AM-ou1wt 11 месяцев назад

Fantastic! I love that the 2/3rds rule with regards to sofa size and art was ignored. We have a huge canvas of a place we have wonderful memories of. It does not meet designer rules but it makes our hearts happy every time we look at it which is throughout the day. One's home should make all people living feel comforted, comfortable and secure. Decor should serve to remind all inhabitants, children included, of the happiest times and hold what is relevant to each persons needs. Ego, showing off, wanting to impress others who live outside the home has nothing to do with family comfort and everything to do with the decorator being insecure and trapped in ego.. Decorating to impress others can even deny a homes inhabitants comfort and joy. Home is where the heart is if each heart within the home is allowed to shine to it's own beat.

@imjoey7910 2 года назад

Super Inspirational! Just finished stretching a 44 x 60 canvas. Canvas pliers are the bomb….plus….my staple gun has a setting for 'wire'. This simply means that the gun will fire the staple in 3/4 of the way… This makes it easy to remove the staple with a pair of pliers for fine-tuning that canvas, and when you are happy, then you just hammer them home.

@keikodesuu 3 года назад

That is INSANE! Normally I'm REALLY cheap and would think "$70 bucks for a canvas is still a lot" until I realize how MASSIVE your canvas is and how EXPENSIVE even smaller ones are, you're right! I'm literally mind-blown and that rarely happens with these videos! INCREDIBLE job!!

@getledinyourhead 3 года назад

I used to work in home depots lumber section. From what I was told, back in the day there was a "nominal" size, which is the "2 by 4" or "2 by 10," etc. That's the size that they cut from the logs. After that they would dry it in a kiln and plane it so it's more or less flat on all sides, so it can be used in construction. This drying and planing process would leave it smaller than when it was cut, but the habit of calling it 2 x 4 stuck around. Modern methods change this process a little but the final size is roughly what a 2 x 4 *used* to be after it was dried and planed.

As an artist I would highly recommend using thicker wood. The thin ones will warp over time. Use 2" thick instead of 1" thick pieces. they also look more finished and professional like pieces in a gallery. Also a piece that size will need a lot more cross bracing. But the canvas drop cloth is a great idea.
