Transforming furniture with Paint and Transfers part 1/Slope Garden update 

Oh yes, love this . Thank you so much for sharing your lovely creative life. A calm interlude to stressful times.

I love that! It turned out beautifully. I recently went to goodwill and bought a garden book and a garden magazine with beautiful images of insects, flowers, gardens, barns, and flower packets. I cut them all out and mod podged (in satin) them onto a small chest of drawers I had bought for five dollars. I painted it charcoal just before applying the cut outs. Then a little bit of sanding to make it look worn. The whole project cost me ten dollars! It is very fun to do.

I loved your make overs with transfers, they are so fun. Gardens sure challenge us, they reward us and frustrate us all at the same time.

Hello dear, I am Angela from Salamina, Greece! I would like to express that I find your home and your antiques one of a kind, especially your bathroom and kitchen!! Greetings from Greece!

Those transfers gives me an idea for my grandmother's yellow painted chest! The piece must be at least 70 years old! Very enjoyable video. Thank you.

I have been so busy in my gardens that I haven't sat down and watched you. I needed it this morning, your voice is so relaxing. We are in drought conditions, and they have initiated a schedule for watering, today is not my day. Hence why I am still sitting here this early in the morning, but I am off to putter in the garden. And transfers have been bought, I will create something. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful video! My grandfather had a large black snake in his barn that he considered a friend because it ate the mice, I couldn't do that myself. 😊 I'm so happy to see there is a part 2 coming soon. ❤❤❤❤

You are so creative I just love your ideas. I haven’t a creative bone in my body except to be a lover of beauty. ❤ ~ Janet 😘

Love the stenciled pieces. Garden is beautiful as always even the ones you didn't care for.

Great idea with the transfers, the furniture looked beautiful! Your tomatoes have done much better than mine this year, not sure what I have done wrong this time!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Hi Jeri, I’ve missed seeing you in the past months…now I know that you were incredibly busy with everything! I love and appreciate you SO much! Almighty God bless you, immeasurably, and continue to be a shining Light for Jesus…and keep you safe and in health! I hate all snakes…with a passion…I could never have a snake anywhere on my yard…NO way! I don’t mind lizards and other critters…but NO snakes! I would rather put up mouse and rat traps! 😮

The transfers are beautiful! I purchased a pair of garden sleeves from the same company this year as I have skin allergies. I picked berries and veggies all summer long and did not have a single rash! Totally worth the price!

Those transfers would look amazing applied to the interior of your green house randomly.Thanks for your demostration

Those transfers look like so much fun! I love how your furniture has turned out so far 😊. I think it's great you are letting the 🐍 snake stay in his (or her 😅) new home! No mice 🐁 would be a bonus!! I'm always inspired by your gardens ❤. Thank you for another lovely video 🥰.

Fantastic job on the transfer projects Jeri, I love both the pieces you showed. I’m looking forward to see the rest in the next video. Particularly the final touches to the red cupboard. Your garden is still in such good shape, regardless of where your focus are. You cannot be everywhere, especially having to cover such a large area. Sending hugs. X (Yay for those dahlia seedlings and great work on the lavender).💜

I love it when you share the inside of your home. The transfers that you did are wonderful. I would love to see it when you're finished. You did a really nice job.

Your transfer cabinet and chest came out beautifully. The garden is wonderful, as always. We just love your videos and get excited when a new one appears. Sending you lots of love from an extra hot East Texas. God bless and keep you always. 🌷🌸🌼

Beautiful yard and dressers, thank you for showing these.

what fun!!!!Love the graphics!Hope you are doing great always enjoy your videos!😀🐦🪴

So nice to hear your voice on this Sunday afternoon. I have been so busy from working and my move....unfortunately back to the city 😢, ( had to sell my farm, my animals all my gardens on 5 acres), now I have to learn how to grow in a very small yard ...with neighbors...its hard. So I've honestly had to make myself sit down. Your voice has been very soothing , thank you for sharing.

Sneaky Peat ! Suggestion for snake , have missed you ,so very worth the wait 🥰 Thank you for sharing ✌️💞🤟

How fun! Beautiful, love the garden.

Love the furniture. If I didn't have my antique furniture I would definitely go for the painted look. It's just so beautiful 😍

Just GORDEOUS, as always Jerri! Your vids inspire & comfort me. Thank you!

Garden looks great! You are going to have so much production from “the slope”! Your hard work will pay off! Love the transfer work too. A lovely transformation! 💐

Your talents are truly unending!!! What beautiful pieces that you have created! Frustrating when produce doesn’t grow as expected. This year, for me, was the plague of a group of voracious Guineas that destroyed my tomatoes! Sneaky little scoundrels.😡 Next year I will get my vengeance with fencing and maybe a squirt gun! I wear sun sleeves also. I battle with melanoma and lymphedema so sleeves are a must. Mine end at the wrist, however, I have a couple of gauntlets that I wear on one hand that really helps with the swelling. So glad that there is a company that makes them for gardeners! I love the pattern you chose! Lovely music, animals and scenery!💕🙌🏻

Both of your transfer projects are just beautiful! I'm inspired to do something similar. Your vegetable garden is wonderful -- love the log edging, and the flowers interspersed are so charming. Thank you for your mention of the Farmer's Defense garden sleeves. I need to look into these. I'm also going to try growing dahlias from seed -- good idea! Your videos are always so soothing -- just what I needed tonight. 💗

Aww, snakes are so nice.

Oh,Jeri,your furniture is gorgeous as well as your garden!! Loved this video! Hugs from West Tennessee!!

I love your transfers ? You did a great job putting them on your furniture.

Love the varigated nasturtium leaves. They look so pretty in a salad.

Love the cabinets! As well as the hillside garden. I'm planning to working on another one this fall. Soon as it cools done.

Hooray can't wait to watch your lovely video today. They are all soo good. Thanks

So weird that I have been looking at these exact transfers on Etsy and here you have a video I missed on them. What a coincidence ❤

Oh how I love everything 🐞❤🦋❤🐌❤🪲❤🐛❤🦗❤🌿❤🐝❤🪺❤🍂

I love growing dahlia from seed, it’s so fun to see what color they are and no winter storage. I too found a baby snake in my she shed. It’s a little startling but now I inform it when I’m entering.

I agree! This has been a terrible year for bugs ,wasps, hornets and tiny worms that curl up under my pots!!

Your channel was highly recommended by She’s a mad gardener Amanda and I am so glad I checked you out!! Absolutely love ❤️ your gardens and watching you do the transfers on your furniture.. I am definitely subscribing to your RU-vid channel 😊😊..I live in Orlando Florida and we have been able to start planting the middle of February.. I have to do a lot of container gardening due to Armadillos digging up my flower beds.. I am going to go back and watch your earlier videos..

very pretty!!

Wonderful video! You share so much of your creativity to inspire us!

love your cubbords and transfers. you did a great job.

So so lovely. Thank you.

Beautiful ❤

Great to hear your voice & see Hop Along Hollow once again. A snake in the greenhouse?!?! Omg! I know he’s a “good snake” but it is doubtful I could step foot in there again until he was removed…especially in such a confined area. Lol eeeek. Love the transfers on the chest. Looks like fun. I have an old white chest from my childhood that needs something. I’m going to see about ocean or sea life transfers.

Thank you for posting love it all.

That is awesome wow

Awesome

Beautiful creations and gardens are fantastic. Blessings 🙏 from VA

So good to see you - hugs

Beautiful, Jeri, as always.

Thank you! that is beautiful. love the transfers. thank you for the inspiration.

Everything is so beautiful 😍

Wow great work

Enjoyed the video. Thank you!

Garden looks great and your transfer work is wonderful!

Que BELLEZA!!!!!🦋🐦💠🌸❤️

Always such a lovely relaxing tour through your colorful magical garden. Thank you ❤️

Beautiful garden

Great video Jeri. I enjoyed the tutorial and especially the garden

i have some of those garden sleeves and I do love them, great video

I have a pair of the sleeves and they are wonderful. Your garden is progressing really well. This year was the first year I was able to plant tomatoes where they would have enough sun. They grew big and put on nice size fruit. And then found something was eating them. I blamed the squirrels but no it wasn’t squirrels it was rats. Ugg. Set traps and caught two but then we went on vacation and that was the end of the tomato fruit. After they decimated the tomatoes they started on the eggplant and cucumbers. So that was the end of my garden for this year. I have all winter thinking of how to outsmart them next year.

Music sounds similar to the ending scene in North and South with Richard Armitage. This is a lovely project, I might have to try my hand at this!

Lovely, on all pieces. I LOVE anything William Morris! Hmmm, gonna ck put transfers, thanks for tips. Love you have a snake to keep the mice down. Not that I like snakes...but they have their purposes, don't they?! Yes, please, give your snake a name and let us know.

Oh I have just figured out what my next project is! I love these stencils❤ That little chest turned out beautiful 🦋🐞🐝🌻

I love the garden sleeves! I am very allergic to poison ivy, and they protect my skin. I agree, they are not hot.

Watched this video earlier today & love the work you did on the furniture! Have missed your videos -- so it was a really treat to watch today.

Well, as you can imagine, I absolutely love this!!! I was thrilled to see you had a new video, then extra surprised to see such a fun and beautiful project!!! Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring!! 🪲🦋❤️

Hi Jeri!! I have been thinking about you, glad to hear you are just busy busy !! The chest looks so pretty ,that gave me the thought to do this little little chest that was my mother in law's ! your plants look good, enjoy the tomatoes and corn !! Paula

Beautiful poppy, your gardens are still looking great even though you seem a little disappointed, good luck with the snake 😮 yes you've inspired me to get transfers 😊

The slope garden is looking so nice. Well done! The cupboards are amazing too. Love the stencils. Looking at my old white bureau and thinking I may have to do some transfers on it so thank you! My carrots did nothing this year. Like the tip about sifting the soil. I do have clay soil. Thank you for that also. Blessings.

Pom pom poppy. I grew some this year from Bakers Creek. They fast became my new favorite. Love the transfer. God bless.

You have given me inspiration to do a similar redo of a wardrobe that can do with a miracle makeover..the colour red gives a beautiful background to the transfers..looking forward to the follow up episode…🌱🏠🌿

There you are🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

I love insects and drawings of insects now too. Before i gardened i was always afraid of them. I had no idea bee balm was shade tolerant! I need to try it bc im always very limited on sun. Lovely video as always

Hello dear, your friend from Wyoming here. It's turning fall but we have a few more hot days to go. I am busy canning and preserving. Not much else getting done. I have furniture to refinish and am going with the stencils myself. Love William and Morris!!

I was astonished to see on the chest, the transfer of Hypatia, who was the first wiman mathmetician. I just finished an oil painting on her.

Hi Jeri 🤗 good job 👌 i like the finish. I did this same several times on chest and wardrobe, table and old wooden stools. In your garden i like very much big yellow sunflowers . I used to have every summer with roses trémières all around my house. Simply beautiful together. Thank you 🙏

A note about the Origano Lavender, it is also known as Fernleaf Lavender (Lavandula multifida) and it is easier to find seeds for sale under the name Fernleaf Lavender. I've also seen it called Egyptian Lavender. I love this plant! I bought it from transplants last year in the spring. It survived my horrible Texas heat when the other true Lavenders died out. (Honestly, I think I over watered the true traditional lavender, this plant tolerates more water). So I potted it and kept it inside during the winter, and it survived! In spring I brought it back out and it is still alive and blooming despite this summer's crazy heat which is worse that last summer's. It is NOT the same as traditional lavenders. I had not heard of it as Origano before, but now that you mention it, it does possibly smell a bit more like oregano than lavender. It does not bloom the same as traditional lavender either. Another name for it is Butterfly lavender since the blooms are spread further apart and are sort of airy compared to the typical long stems and denseness of traditional lavender blooms. The leaves as you've shown are totally different. If someone truly wants traditional lavender this is not the plant for them. I have never succeeded in growing traditional lavender for long--though I will continue to try. But growing the Origano or Fernleaf Lavender has been a real blessing and going forward I will try to always keep this plant growing somewhere. Everything I've read indicates it's much easier to start from seed than traditional lavender, especially since it does not need cold stratification like traditional lavender does, so I hope to gather some seed from my plant so I can try growing it that way too. ...I've been eagerly waiting for your video, and as always it was worth it. Thank you again for all your inspiring work and all you share with us. Looking at your glorious garden brings me hope. So many plants have burned up here in TX from this heat, and the horrible grasshoppers, but I'm inspired to keep trying; the weather will change and cooler days are ahead. And now I will be looking into those transfers. I have a piece I think I could use them on. God bless you always for all you give to us through your videos. Thank you!!

Beet greens are the best! FYI Blanch, (then freeze if storing)and sauté when ready to use.

You can do anything beautifully! I adore your chests especially the botanical ‘buggy’ white one is so lovely. Your slope, vegetable garden is amazing as all your gardens are. As for your new friend ‘sneaky snake’ I hope he…or she is to shy for your videos & to scare you as well. Thank you for allowing me to admire your talents & the beauty of your lifestyle.

Hi Jeri, I wondered how things were going for you. I love that green house! I have been inundated with Yellow Jackets and I was telling my cousin in Oregon, and she said the same thing. Have you had a problem with them? I have started already collecting seeds from the back garden and I am pleased on how it all turned out for my first time and have learned much from it. I have also invested in some very good loading and squirrel proof bird feeder’s for my mother to watch and it has proved to be worth the expense of it all, the sparrows, cardinals, and wood peckers come daily and I also got suet feeders, for the winter birds. BTW, Your roses are stunning ! God less ! …….Brian

just Love all your videos ~~ snake?? Noooo, I cannot even look at them. terrified of all of them. wish I could get over it. LOL

I love using decor transfers! I sanded down my round dining table, painted it black, and put an extra large pink peony transfer in the middle. I've got an order in for other transfers due in the mail soon. I'll be putting them on the bathroom vanity upstairs. Your slope garden is fantastic! I KNOW it's going to be even better next year! The zinnias were the top show offs in my garden this year. I love the pinks and purples! I've got a bed of orange and yellow zinnias too, but I'm not fond of orange and yellow so much. Looking forward to seeing the cupboard when finished! It looks GREAT with the fabric!

I’m so happy to see your new video !! Your transferred furniture is beautiful, as is your slope garden . Will you please walk us through your new flower seed sowing in your greenhouse next month ? What to sow , when ? I tried sowing foxglove seeds ( AGAIN!) about two months ago and only two tiny tiny seedlings have germinated after several rows in my seed trays were sown . To no avail .

Love your videos! No Jeri, not everyone can grow nice tomatoes 😊 I live in Montana Zone 5 and unless you have a greenhouse tomatoes are difficult. Our nights are too cold.

Love the chest, although I’d probably be paranoid about a real bug hiding on it and keep a flyswatter nearby at all time! 😂 A gray snake that’s good at killing mice? Not sure if you’re into fantasy, but there was a sword-and-sorcery series in the ‘70s/‘80s called “Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser” that might be good for name ideas…

I forget about transfers or decals. I was wanting to stencil a wall but I think I'm going to do this.

Tá linda suas artes parabéns 👏👏👏👏 eo jardim maravilhoso as flores a horta tudo muito bem cuidado parabéns querida bjsss 😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️ amo seus vídeos coloca legenda português pra que eu possa ler os comentários amiga bjsss 😘😘😘🇧🇷🇧🇷🏖️🏖️🏖️🏖️

Thank you Jeri. What a lovely break from political posts. I enjoyed every second. I can certainly empathize with the gardening frustrations. But we keep trying.

I absolutely LOVE the bug 🐞 furniture piece. I know Prima redesign but I didn’t catch the name of the very last transfers with the gorgeous beautiful. If you have time please let me know so I can look online for all of them. The red piece is also gorgeous and can’t wait to see the final results. ❤🤗👍😎😘🙋‍♀️❤️❤️

Lovely... I would be tempted to take your gloves apart and make a pattern! Looks like it would be fairly simple to replicate. Happy fall.

Moss rose is probably just the base growing.

🌸🌿💕🌿🌸

I was told that the bees do something to the single poppies and they become a double. I guess during pollination / collecting the pollen. I do believe this as I collect single pinks and some turn out like your double and others stay single. I have tried collecting only from the double ones and they can all turn out single the next season and then I go out and if I'm lucky I find one is a double. If you find out differently please let me know.

Lilac pompom poppy from baker creek looks like that

The carrots looked like they were in 2 pots terracotta which drain quicker and the other 3 plastic so they maintain more moisture. In Australia where I am the plastic would be better as pots dry out so quickly. But where you are with better rainfall maybe they were becoming to wet. Its always hard to figure out the difference and the sifted soil would also make a difference as carrots like fine soil.

Apologies!.....thislaptopismisbehaving!....Ivebeenthinkingaboutgettingthosegardendloves!......IsOloveyourGarden......BLESSINGS!!!

Hi Jeri, am so glad you are okay. I had the same problems in my veg gardens also I think for all the rain. Speaking of rain, we finally installed the 2mbarrels i bought 15 years ago. Love, love them! Makes watering so easy. Have you ever seen IOD Transfers and products? They are 2 sisters on YTube with beautiful products that you would like. I am soooo going to try the dahlias from seed, sick of the hassle. Thanks for the courage to try them next year. I still haven't gotten any replacement ducks or hens as I am afraid the mink is still around. It has been 6 months but still afraid 😢.

The farmers defense is on sale right now.

The chest is amazing! What transfer did you use on the chest?
