Faking a French Antique- Painted Furniture Makeover with Crackle effect and heavy distress 

Thank you. I like to have fun when I paint.

Thank you. I enjoy complex finishes which is why I never paint with just one color.

Merci!

Thank you. Feel free to circle back and ask me any questions should you need. I’m always happy to help.

Thank you

Thank you so much. I also love green. To me it’s a neutral and goes with anything

You’re welcome. Thank you for watching

Thanks for watching Donna.

Thanks so much. Crackle tends to be a love it or hate it kind of finish. I like it for certain projects. Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much. You are very kind.

Thanks so much for watching. I wasn’t sure if anybody would be interested in me sharing my Copenhagen adventures. I guess they are!

Thank you so very much! 😘

Woohoo. Go for it!! Thanks for watching.

Thanks!

Thank you so much! I’m appreciate the support. It’s amazing what a haircut and a little make up can do 😉

Thanks Connie. Nothing about me is “normal” 🤣

Yay! Glad it was helpful. Would love to see your project when you’re finished.

@@JunkdUp I would love it to look just like your table. Going to start in a couple of weeks and I will post a pic when done. Again, beautiful work, very impressed !!

also I subscribed toyour channel and can't wait to see more from you.

Thank you for the sub. It’ll be a little bit before I post a new vid. We’re moving back to the states in 6 weeks so I’m busy running around and doing all the things before we leave. 😭

@@JunkdUp i know how that can be. my husband is British and i am American and we lived in London for a few years and really miss all of the things that make England, England. but after a few years i just wanted to come back here so we live on a NC beach. But i remember it took a few months for everything to come back from England on a cargo ship. still miss Europe. good luck with the move.

Thank you Sydni. I appreciate your kind words and your continued support. It means a lot to me. Facebook marketplace in Copenhagen is similar to US in that the prices are all over the place. I’m always on there looking for a good deal. It seems to me that in Copenhagen at least the older style furniture isn’t all that popular. They lean towards a more modern aesthetic or an MCM type vibe. So these sweet little pieces I can pick up pretty inexpensively. I’ve only sold one piece here. I listed one other piece (that cabinet with the decoupage from another video) but it hasn’t sold so I just took it off marketplace. I’m not sure my style translates here. I did bring all my DIY Paint with me. It isn’t available in Europe. I’m still a retailer. My vendor mall owners allowed me to keep my space while I’m abroad. I manage inventory from here and place orders to be delivered to the store and they unpack it for me. It’s been great. And when I need something I bribe my girl child who’s in college stateside to send me what I need. I’m not sure what I’m going to do once I run out of space for finished pieces! I’ll have to sell things eventually!

DIY Paint isn’t available anywhere in Europe. I’m a retailer but I retail in the US. I was a retailer before I left for Denmark and I was able to continue. I’m heading back to the states in July. I have a store within a store in Indiana. I will also sell online through my website again when I return to the states. I’m happy to ship to Italy but the shipping and customs fees might be exhorbitant. I love Denmark, and Europe in general, and don’t want to leave. But… the job we are here for was finite and we knew we’d be going back to the states.

I also don’t think I’m doing a good job of explaining 🤣. I can ship to Italy from the US when I get back there in July. I don’t retail DIY Paint in Europe. I hope that clarifies.

@@JunkdUp Hi--thanks so much for your response. Sadly, you won't be able to ship the paint from the States. I was told it's not allowed. How in the world did you manage to get it over to Denmark? Annie Sloan can ship paint here, or at least she could before the stupid UK voted for Brexit. There are two retailers that here that sell her paint. I can also get Dixie Belle paint here in Tuscany. I'm not sure how that was managed as the paint comes from the States. I'm sorry you have to go bak to the States. In October I will have been here for 20 years. That seems impossible to me. There are many things I miss about the States. My friends of course, but also Manhattan and the New England woods. I doubt I'll ever go back to live there. Have never been to Denmark. For years it's been voted the happiest country in the world. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. I can't believe you manage to haul furniture without even a car. You're a formidable woman! Thanks again for getting back to me. I really appreciate it.

I did a quick search and it should be possible to ship DIY Paint internationally. It’s water based and non flammable so not a hazardous material. I know another DIY Paint retailer who ships paint to international customers. I’m sorry I have to go back also but we knew all along we’d only be here for a finite period of time. It’s just unfortunate all of my time here was during stupid Covid with lockdowns and travel restrictions. My husband and I are planning a northern Italy trip at the conclusion of our time in Denmark before we head back to the states.

I brought it with me. I only lived in Copenhagen for two years. During that time I was able to continue being a DIY Paint retailer in the US.

I lived in Europe just for a couple years and I brought my paint with me from the US. I’m sorry!

@@JunkdUp thank you for your answer...thank you very much

@@lewis83 great. Thanks. Mission accomplished

Sorry for what? If you want to offer your opinion, own it and do so without an apology. Do you believe you insulted me? You didn’t so your apology is rendered useless. But hey- thanks for helping out the algorithm by commenting. Appreciate that!

@@JunkdUp First I’ll start by saying your faux effect was spot on… But come on, you should own that you were “butt hurt” aka insulted, otherwise you wouldn’t have responded, especially not with a reply mentioning algorithm ect…

@@Leochangingtheworld My butt is just fine thank you. But thanks for playing.

Thanks!
