They all look great. And one other little item, if want to use the word “hoard” you go right ahead. Please don’t let others dictate the true Sonnet…that’s one of the reasons we love to watch and learn from you. Thanks, David and Carolyn
Nice job. Maybe a flour sack stripe on the bar stools. Nice subtle accent. I probably would have kept painting the table top the color of the drop cloth or white. I really want to get my room organized. I have stopped doing anything in there in months. Then someone took stuff down to my room and just put it anywhere. I cannot work with such dysfunctional chaos. Maybe this spring I will be able to get it turned around so I can do something I really enjoy.
Love the way this turned out. A simple ticking stripe stenciled on the stools might look good as well. By the way, Jami Ray Vintage says, " It's not hoarding if it's good junk!"
I like the way your handling your stash or hoard or whatever you want to call it. Going in with a conscious mind and pulling x number of items to flip. Makes room for new "found" items!
You’re known for using the word hoard and it wouldn’t be the same if you didn’t! We love you just the way you are!! With “hoards” of un “centerized’” snowman noses! 😂 You’re the best Sonnet! ❤
Great advice on flipping the pieces over to get all the missed spots when painting. I like how the table and stools turned out (can't wait to see what you stencil on the seats). I like your idea of taking the month of January and using up some of your stash of thrifted items to flip. Not only does it thin out your inventory, but also a great way to freshen up your booths with new products (plus, you're providing us DIYERS wonderful tips). Thanks Sonnet 😊
I love your studio Sonnet! It is the perfect backdrop for your videos. Ok off to watch this video. I'm doing the same thing trying to reclaim my basement.
Great projects. I think they turned out great. Personally… I don’t like to do the distressed thing. Not because i don’t like it. Just because I don’t think I do a good job. LOL. And in my area there are several furniture painters. Just about all of them do some sort of distressed look. So I do more of a modern farmhouse with no distressing. And it sells as well. But then there are some pieces that just beg to be distressed. For me its all about what the piece is calling for.
So pretty Sonnet!! I love the gray!!❤ I have bar stools and I think I am going to redo them with drop cloth and put them in my booth, I might add the animal stamps on top of the stools! 🤷🤷 Tfs💗
Love the distressed look on furniture. I think I will like the stools with the table better after you add the stencil. Thanks for sharing as I have several stools to redo.
Love them. Yes, yes stencil would be so cute!! Or maybe a French kitchen towel stripe thing.... Can't remember what it's called. One thick strip and two smaller thin stripes....oh French ticking?
Thanks for another great video. The table and stools turned out beautiful. I love that grey stain. I think the drop cloth was a good call on the stools. Keeping stripes straight on a square or rectangle surface is difficult, on round 😵💫 probably would have ended up wonky.
The colors are great. I think the stools are just little bit too high, would you consider cutting them down or leave as is incase someone uses them somewhere else.
They turned out great! I love that gray stain, I looked in the description but couldn’t find the name of it, could you tell me what it is? Thanks for sharing your flips 😊
hoard noun a stock or store of money or valued objects, typically one that is secret or carefully guarded. "he came back to rescue his little hoard of gold"
Stash is another word that's less negative than hoard. In my personal view items don't become inventory until they are ready to sell. I don't care for the term "hoard" but oh well. Lots of people I watch use it.
Help! My paint is coming off while I seal with poly! What am I doing wrong? I don’t like to use wax for sealing, I’m not good at it and I didn’t have Big Top. I did use Little Black dress.
Okay, I need to know what I’m doing wrong. I recently purchased quite a few colors of DIY paint. I painted a piece of furniture, used the top coat and it looked horrible! It had so many brush strokes (I used a good brush) and it just looked like the paint was too thick. I tried sanding it lightly by hand. I don’t know if I’m using too much paint or what? I painted inside, so cold weather wasn’t a factor. Now, I’ve been successful and really like it for small pieces. I ended up sanding it all the way down to the wood and started over. Help! ~ Linda
