It's been TOO long since I've painted on my walls like an actual 6 year old, so it's time to remedy that. My "Too Much" gene noticed some blank spaces around my house and barn that just needed a little spicin' up. Taking some inspo from Scandinavian folk paintings, I got to work filling in those spots!
AYNWHO I hope you enjoy and I'll see you next video for more Making Bullsh*t, hehehe.

The only problem I see with painting your walls is that you inspired me, a person who is not allowed to paint their walls. I live vicariously through you. Please continue painting on walls.

@denizberlin9441 6 месяцев назад

I heard that from different people around the world. In Germany you can paint whatever you want on your walls in a rental. Colour, tapestry or drawing on it. You just have to overpaint it when your moving out or somebody else takes the Appartement like it is and has to paint it white if those people are moving out.

Solid color peel and stick wallpaper is a thing. You can always get some and paint that. (Or, if you want to go cheaper, get a roll and/or large sheets of white paper and paint that, then tape it up.)

As a former mural painter I just wanna say yay you!! Couple tips from an old pro: watercolor pencils are your bff, cheesecloth can help age and soften, and the prep you cannot see is what makes it look pro. A quick pic of that wall and a drawing on your iPad will help if you decide if you want to redo it. And what I always said to clients: it’s just paint. We can always paint over it if you hate it

@whereheathergrows 6 месяцев назад

Yes to using the cheesecloth to age with the paint that Rachel used. You can also combine the paint with a glazing medium that can make it more transparent. This is how you can fake a Venetian plaster 😉 at least in color. You can build up layers that way. I used Benjamin Moore & Martin Senour paints for the base coating bc that’s what I had near me. For the decorative art I used Folk Art paints from the craft store. If it’s going in a high use area ( kitchen, kids room, or entry) I used a water based top coat.

@katarzynadobrzanska2660 6 месяцев назад

Great work! 🎨 I'm an art conservator and restorer, and I have some tips and tricks concerning wall paintings to help them look "older" or more vintage-looking. Especially with green paint, you always want to use a color that is a bit muted, not so bright and neon-like, as such pigment was not historically available, and it instantly looks very modern. The "whitewash" you did was a great idea because it helps achieve this slightly faded look. I often use the dry brush technique or even a sponge to scatter some thicker, more opaque background paint on the design to mimic chips and losses of color. I also recommend using a very fine brush to clean up the edges and make fine lines. You can free-hand little details with great effect, but in my experience, a tiny brush makes it a whole lot easier. Keep up the good work! 👍

@Plethorality 6 месяцев назад

@caspenbee 6 месяцев назад

The norwegian art is called rosemåling, and it's... a whole thing. Each area has its' own colors and style, and they've become pretty set in stone over the years. I tried to get into it with my local Sons of Norway, but it's got a lot of rules haha. Specific shapes and colors and flourishes have to be used in specific styles only if you want to be "accurate." Gotta respect the folk historians who carry it on. My little impulsive heart couldn't handle it.

@elisebjerke3976 6 месяцев назад

To the ones that say you can't do this or this because it's wrong considering the style that's been used so many years ago I say: NO! I don't care, it shall be beautiful by my own standards. And letting people vary their expressions and linetypes to fit them is what's going to bring it into the future(this is also true for the bunad, but people might kill me for saying that). I do know classic rosepainting for my own area, and I've practiced many an hour to make the lines just so. But the works I'm most pleased with and that gets recognition is always the ones where I go beyond and explore the possibilities. The beauty of the artstyle is after all the impulsivity and creativity behind it, not replicating something exact.

@HejMette 6 месяцев назад

In Denmark we call it ‘almuemaling’ or ‘almuestil’ which means folk painting or folk style. Only a few paintors and antique dealers actually do it these days. I love furniture and trinkets painted like this. It’s so beautiful. It was traditionally for the lower classes, so the rich really missed out 😎

@mommybird4768 6 месяцев назад

I love watching your home decor videos, when we first bought our home I was so worried about what was considered "normal" and made it look so bland and absolutely hated it. Videos like yours have made me realize if I'm going to live in this space I should cater to myself and not what other people like! Now, my husband and I are slowly working one room at a time redoing our house with our fun, colorful, nerdy tastes and it's feeling more and more cozy. Also, my toddler loves your new "spiky light" lol.

As someone who has been shifting all my furniture in my dorm, i get the feeling that you just have an urge to do something out of nowhere, if only they let me paint these walls

Peel and stick wall paper or get some cheep poster board and use command(3M) no damage velcro sticky things to put it on an entire wall, then you can take it with you and it won't be permanent

I too worked in retail for 26 years and hated Christmas, but since retiring I have fallen back in love with the most wonderful time of the year. I am a decorating force to be dealt with 5 🎄 last year and I’ll be doing 6 this year. Rachel you always make me happy. Keep it up ❤

My swedish heart absolutly loved this, and the vines in the barn is my favourite. But all of it looks soo fantastic! I love paintings like this, allmogemåleri! My mother painted a bundle of large poppys on a kind of square wooden beam in our kitchen 15 years ago. It still makes me happy seeing it.

The motif you don't like looks very wintery. I like it, but I feel like Rachel is very much an autumn girl. Am always delighted with your projects. 😊

@marissabrown5390 6 месяцев назад

Oh silly Rachel, it's your cheesy jokes and sense of humor that keeps me coming back! To answer your question - I'm holding on to autumn for dear life! The Fall foliage shall not be coming down until December 1st! 🍁

I think painting the straight lines by hand gives it that wonderful hand-done quality! I think it turned out great!

I love the ideas as I enjoy messing with my surrounding walls and furniture too, sprucing up old jewellery box and making it aesthetically Victorian full of bottles with... leaf teas, so it serves purpose, incorporating different garments into my wardrobe and so on. I admire people like Rachel Maksy here, encouraging others to make their places very own so to feel good being in there etc. ❤️❤️

What a pleasant surprise to see influence from my culture! My mom is from the county in Sweden where this painting style is the biggest and I have spent many a days there over the years. Good memories❤

I think the best think about video is, and I genuinely mean this in a good way, that your paintings are not 100% symmetrical and perfect. For too long we have been taught that art that's not "perfect" is not worth anything. So when you painted your walls with genuine enthusiasm and loved them the way they were even though they weren't completely symmetrical, it made me feel a lot better about crafting. So thank you for making this video and I really loved those walls!

@PrincessPonies81 6 месяцев назад

i feel like Rachel would be unstoppable with a couple sets of paint markers. that and the walls would become impossibly whimsical.

For the one in your office I think if you match the green with your pothos you'll like it more. It's such a blue toned green that it clashes with the pothos warm-toned green. My favorite is the one surrounding the window. It's so delicate.

@AmbiguousProxy 6 месяцев назад

Long ago, my mother grabbed a permanent marker off my desk while I was having a panic attack, and wrote out; “one step at a time” on my white wall. Since then, I have seen zero taboo on writing on/painting on walls. I miss my mom like hell but your videos give off her chaotic-good-artist energy. Makes me miss her a little more but in a good way.

@annasher1862 6 месяцев назад

Hey Rachel, I think it might help to add more variety in shapes and length of the foliage on the wall you're not fond of if you decide to keep that design. The other option is to go full autumnal on it I think. Maybe even paint pumpkin (or gourd) vines instead of the green foliage and flowers you have now. Maybe ivy seeing as that room is pretty medieval? Or maybe medieval style painted wall borders?

I worked at Joann fabrics through 3 separate holiday seasons and my husband worked 5. In spite of that trauma the December holidays, whatever you celebrate, is the last happiness before the total dark and despair of January and February. Celebration is required.

@yuantheblue 6 месяцев назад

Bless Nick for just letting you go ham on the walls of your house. At some point they will all be murals! :) Who knows, maybe one day the dream of an victorian inspired shop will come true! There is a big lack of themed places, I agree.

I love the barn. In answer to your question, I am holding on tooth and nail to the last shreds of Fall as tight as I can. I refuse, absolutely refuse, to decorate for Yule until after December 1st, and may wait until the 15th. My Fall decor will remain up until after Thanksgiving. As Kringle said to Harry Dresden, "Not until AFTER Halloween." Even Santa is a bit over the push to move Halloween to September, ignore Thanksgiving, and start Christmas decorating on November 1st. As always Rachel, you've inspired me. I will be painting a tree motif in the room I'm inheriting, as soon as we get everything moved out, and the base color painted. Then it's new carpet and I move everything in.

@DeannafromDecember 6 месяцев назад

For your vine motif by the beams, maybe you'd like an ivy vine more? like a deeper green, could even mix in some of your FAV colour, brown lol If you like house-folk art, you should look up Maud Lewis! She was this little old lady (with severe arthritis) from my province who painted everything and it was beautiful! She also inspired a movie about her life, called "Maudie". I've loved her art since I was a little girl, esp "three cats" xD

Your dream of setting up a coffee shop made me think of the book Legends and Lattes, which is basically the story of someone doing that but in a D&D setting. It's a good cosy read which I heartily recommend.

watching chill video of art inspired by Swedish design being made while living in Sweden. Such a mood

@anikastevens9983 6 месяцев назад

You should try Rosenmaling, its a norwegian painting style and a lot of modern or more simplistic versions are getting trendy. They are also very similar to other scandinavian art designs.

My dog always snuggles in closer when I'm watching your videos. I don't know if it's the music, your voice, or something else. But she loves watching your videos. She definitely perked up for the frisbee interlude 😂 Kirby sends you lots of licks 🐶

@dianegriffen2756 6 месяцев назад

My dog is similar, but for him it's more I think about protection. He doesn't like all the dings and other sound effects.

@SandraOrtmann1976 6 месяцев назад

I REALLY love these garlands. Regarding the one you do not love that much: that whole corner gives me more medieval castle vibes, particularly with those nice, dark beams in contrast to the fresh, white wall. Maybe you could look into some medieval miniature paintings of the more floral variety. And attempt not as much regularity, maybe cover more of the surface, conquer a bit more space. I do not know a whole lot about wall painting, this is just a feeling I have.
