[@cindyhoward4066]

You are the busiest, talented, thrift flipping women. I do watch your videos and get inspired. My mom passed away in Oct. Her home was furnished with beautiful furniture that I plan on using your techniques and gel stain to work with my decor. Thank you for all your beautiful diys. ❤

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you 🥰🙏💕

Tell your sweet hubby that wood is worth gold now. We can't get rid of wood!!! Always love the things you do and you are always teaching!! 🌷🌷🌷

[@designedtothenines]

Right?! Wood is so expensive right now!

[@sehlpup1262]

You have alot of talents!! My husband gets tickled when he walks by! I cried a little when you pulled out the scotch guard. My dad worked for 3M for 30+years. We had that and scotch tape, post its, etc..around all the time. Ty

The extra cushion on the Thomasville chair really took it up a notch and your Pottery Barn chairs look even better than the one for sale at Pottery Barn with that fabric you put on. The striping and French label are so cute.

[@Elo_A]

You are my Role Model🤩. Thank you for being so bold and starting your channel. May God continue to guide & inspire you!

[@designedtothenines]

Wow! Thank you. 😊💕

[@grammysagmoe9659]

Oh my gosh, girl! You need a Spray Can Grip Handle, it simply slides onto the spray paint can. No more cramped fingers! Love the entryway bench. Great find on the Ethan Allen! Love Gel Stain, I refinished my kitchen cabinets with Java. Plan to refinished my dining room table top, next…you’ve given me some inspiration to get busy!

[@designedtothenines]

Lol. I actually had one and I couldn’t find it and didn’t want to take an hour round trip to get another one 😂

[@peannierex3517]

Sounds Great

[@robinwoods756]

I seen all of these when they came out but I just had to watch it again. All the pieces could be put in a show place. Love them all

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you for watching again!

[@campcreates8484]

I absolutely love how talented you are and not scared at all to diy. 🥰 Amazing work as always

[@juliebreithaupt3387]

You are just so talented and a joy to watch!!! I'm too intimidated to do any of these types of projects, but I absolutely LOVE watching you turn things (what I think are already pretty items) into GORGEOUS items! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@judithlarkin600]

The chair looks amazing! Great tips for applying piping! You worked so hard on the table, however my personal taste would have been to apply a dark stain finish to the entire look. But you did s terrific re-look to the table! You have amazing ideas and have a great personality! Thanks for sharing with us!❤️

[@justice2255]

I absolutely love everything you do. I do not like dollar store projects. I usually don't follow anyone who does them because they are simply not useful for me and my home. But you have so many other good videos and you are a strong tough woman not afraid to use power tools. So thank you.

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you so much! I am so glad you like my channel! =)

[@margaretbetzing186]

Cut cut cut.Somebody's been watching Rain Maker. 😁Enjoy your projects.

[@movednorthhomestead7244]

I lucked into a GORGEOUS buffet for FREE - I used dark old English, to re-feed the wood, to bring it back to life like your cabinet…..I use a piece of glass on the top to protect it. I still love it and still get compliments to this day about how beautiful it is!

[@lisasmith9123]

So pleased I found your channel. You stand out from the crowd; you do all your own joinery projects and you sew - love your tip about the piping. It makes me wince when other KZbinrs hot glue fabric. It would be fantastic to hear how you learned and developed your amazing skill set. So impressed with your attention to detail to produce truly stunning pieces.

[@sherieanderson5493]

I appreciate your positive attitude and encouragement. I also appreciate the fact that you are honest and share things you would have done differently.

[@annhomer2667]

The table turned out fantabulous!!! You certainly are inspiring!! Kudos to you for using power tools!! My Daddy had a wood shop and I would rather spend time with him out there than any other place on earth!!!! Sure do miss that and him!!!!

[@louisemunsen3246]

I love how you just take ANYTHING and make it look Amazing!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@debiogle3798]

Growing up in the 60’s my momma would change our 7 piece sectional couch every 4 yrs. I helped her so when it came time to save money in our sweet family, I could do it!

[@mariamercado3946]

Everything looks so nice, but the table and chairs turnout absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

[@designedtothenines]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@franbeller5897]

Every project turns out so lovely! When you spray paint, the big box stores sell a handle to attach to the can that will make spraying so much easier and less painful.

[@teresanegron6045]

THE CHAIR IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@andreawest7584]

The Pottery Barn chairs you refreshed have motivated me to do something with my dining room chairs. I also appreciate the tutorial in the added seat cushion on the Ethan Allen chair.

[@jeannelson4031]

Wow I didn't even know that the legs on the table had that design until you painted it. Love all the designs you did great job

[@annroberts3635]

This may be one of my favorite videos. Every single piece turned out beautiful. Every piece I thought, “well, this will be the best one” and then you started another one that was really great. I loved every piece. So much fun to watch. Ann from Va.

[@tinajolly724]

Amazed at how close the bench seat is to table

[@lindym126]

I love the shiplap frame. I snagged 4 of the shiplap look paneling, sheets 24” x 48 “ for free at Lowe’s! Score!!! Now I know what I’m going to do with it. This will look great over the upgraded printer table (that was a TV stand like in video # 1 here) and allow me to display my craft things in jars and boxes on a larger shelf on the wall. A pretty addition to brighten up a dull office!

[@darlenemcalister7946]

My favorite video yet!! I love the Pottery Barn chair makeovers! They are gorgeous.

[@sharonvanfoeken-me8fb]

Hi NataLee! You inspire me! Sharing a craftsman tip - Bondo will fill damage to wooden and ceramic pieces that will be painted. Dries hard, sands, screws and drills! Even use in molds. Don't overfill! Work fast..dries quickly. Restored my picket fence tips and chewed furniture tips. It would have worked for your spindle jewelry stand! I wish I knew how to cricket...I loved your monogram on great Grandma's silver box!

[@trudycranford5713]

to answer your question, YES! I do love revamping old furniture into pretty pieces of usable piece of furniture. i was a young adult with a family during the 70's, 80's and 90's and when my husband and i built our new house, we purchased new and expensive furniture and never changed anything. back then, it was unheard of to revamp, paint over, or convert a pc of furniture used for one purpose into something to use another way. there was no such thing as chalk paint or other products people use now. i dont even recall a thrift store back then, either. the "thing" to do then was have good furniture, china, crystal, silver eating utensils for the formal dining room and everyday home life was done more formally than the casual way we live now! if back then when i was younger, i would have done things like people do now b/c i love it. i was raised by a carpenter who taught me how to paint (oil base) and varnish, sand, put on another coat, sand, another coat, sand with steel wool until the finish was almost like from the factory! i love watching the make-overs that you do. i have a question, you revamped an Eathan Allen chair. did you take off the old cushion fabric and put new padding? my mama covered our sofa one time and i learned to always take off the old and put new! you ought to see what i have hanging on my living room wall, which was a "no-no" 30 & 40 years ago! i love what people do now for decor in the home! HOORAY!

[@michelez715]

Love the pace at which you do your videos. There's plenty of information about the processes, but you zip along at just the right speed.

[@janeallen5969]

Love some of your projects. The Ethan Allen chair redo is a good idea. The additional part of the cushion was confusing. I have done everything from wedding dresses to upholstery. Had you shown the finished result then showed the sewing it may have been easier to understand. I admired the ease of your work with a complex sewing project. Thank you for your videos.

[@verniceduke997]

Love this video. Fab ideas! Thanks for sharing!

[@tonivalenzuela8274]

Woman you are the only one I have ever seen that turned the interior of your home into a paint booth. Crazy. I give you all kinds of credit for creativity.

[@SLynch007]

She reminds me of myself with her fixes and then goes backs and redoes it the other way. This is exactly how I work, I’m surprised and glad I’m not the only one

[@SLynch007]

Tony - she’s used her tarp for the chair cushions!

[@lauratruthseekingWarrior]

Such a talented lady. I’m just a few states away from you Natalie In North Carolina, south east side, so I do know about those humid hot days in the summertime. Im 60 and can’t take the humidity as I could in my 40’s or even my 50’s. God bless you! 💗

[@leslie9423]

Your work is amazing. I'm new to this and have been wanting to do my dining room table but I'm not brave enough to try a project this big just yet. Love watching your channel for inspiration and tips. 💖

[@pattischult9401]

All I can say is, "Wow!" What an inspiration you are, NataLee!

[@carolburton5853]

Great job on all your projects. I’m planning to start the exact same foyer bench piece this week. You’ve taught me what to look out for. TFS!

[@Anna-ou9dh]

A lot of work and all with an awesome smile. Loved your can do attitude and motivation. Beautiful finds and great savings indeed. Loved them all, my favourite was the floral base, coat hanger and both chair makeovers. Thanks for sharing

[@lindadodsion3410]

Oh my! Guess how happy I was when I saw your bookcase today! I have been defending my decision to keep mine the past 4-5 years. Your piece looks absolutely beautiful. I will be sure to send you a before and after of mine. THANKS!!!!!!!!

[@dorafonseca-blount6700]

loved the candle stick!!!!

[@marcibrown7944]

I love the shadow box.

[@suzannebarletta82]

These are really great projects. I liked all of them, but my favorite was the bench.

[@jaynerucker8528]

I LOVE what you did with the Table & chairs! The new Chair cushions where just soo CUTE! I really liked the green strips with the french signage. You have sooo many Clever Ideas! Thank you for sharing your talent!!

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

[@deborahschipper1520]

#2 Shadow Box OMG! I am making 2 of these to make memory boxes for my Den. Both of my sons have passed and I have been wanting something to honor them. Thank you!

[@ronm8948]

So sorry for the loss of your sons.The memory boxes will be cathartic for you and a great way to honor their lives.God Bless you and your family.

[@lauratruthseekingWarrior]

Love EVERYTHING, but my favorites were that Table with those curvy legs and the last piece, the tv dresser buffet! I personally would have done the chairs for the dining room table the same as the bottom legs, distressed white. Just my preference, but yours are gorgeous after your work that you did on them! I have a very old dining room set, authentic pecan wood in very very good condition except the bottom side edge of one spot of the table. The laminate chipped off from the movers moving it from Mom and Dads home to hear, 45. Invites away. I’m seriously thinking of doing the chairs in a light or dark color with new upholstery and putting all new legs underneath the table and the chairs. I hate these skinny angular Grecian looking legs, never did like them. The chairs are came backed and sweet, no arms, but they need an upgrade badly, so they will get the treatment you did on that can backed sitting chair. Will recover the seats myself too. I can’t sew, but I can staple like crazy!

[@ineldafitte5797]

Dining chairs are amazing!

[@sherriwalker8019]

You're such a classy lady. I look forward to your videos every week. You are absolutely phenomenal !! Love love love your diy's. You need a she-shed or small storage building to put your extra wood; then your hubby couldn't complain. LOL BTW... My favorite episodes so far are the bathroom makeover (LOVED the brick!!) and your fireplace/shelving units!! Both episodes were awesome!! Thank you for sharing your brilliant projects.

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! 💕

[@carlasim1647]

Everything is so amazing , you inspire Everytime,.it's hard to pick a favorite, but I have to say the table and chairs were by far amazing,the candle stick I just have to do just have to find one that is similar to it.and the makeover of the pressed wood stand was by far the best transformation.from blah to ahh.Thanks as always for sharing with us your treasures.pete aka carla from Arizona.

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you so much 😊 💕

[@darondatoole7439]

I love that table!!! Re: the rug .... it still looks great. I would take permanent blue markers and 'paint' where the navy thread is gone leaving a white line. Camouflage it. You have growing boys!!

[@ginascottroberts1704]

You have no idea how it gladdens my heart to see another woman comfortable and capable with power tools! I grew up in my dad's wood shop, so I'm capable when I get the chance. BTW, you ever want to get rid of scraps just holler! 😜

[@dorafonseca-blount6700]

loved that bench!

[@sillymonkey9080]

My husband always takes so much scrap wood home as well. Got tired of the mess, so I decided to make a firepit in our backyard, so if we have extra scrap wood we burn em in the firepit and we enjoy it so much in the winter months. A little problem solver.

[@diannecass880]

Thank you for bringing up the humidity issue. It affects drying time and interferes with curing the paint as it dries. Curing water based paints especially is important.

[@johnniehallford1641]

A dehumidifier is a really good investment if you have an enclosed area for painting, I first used one to speed drywall jobs, but learned they would pull paint down tight and create a smooth finish while drying faster.

[@janetmitchell4452]

I love how you show opps. Makes us all feel better.

[@caroleanderson1106]

All super great projects!!! Still a little more wood to use up. Thank you.

[@dexmcgee6872]

i WATCHED THIS VIDEO FROM BEGINNING TO END. Couldn't stop watching it. Thank you!!

[@sherriemiddleton6268]

The Ethan Allen chair find & giving it a new life. Beautiful work!

[@dorafonseca-blount6700]

mt son builds furniture mainly for his house but - I love the scraps he leaves !

[@steviemichelle7271]

Those brass knobs that you used for your coat hanger were beautiful in brass. Maybe next time it would be cool to see a little antiquing like you did to the chair, but letting the high points of the brass shine through? I just love brass! But your work is amazing and I really love what you did with the laminate TV stand! It came out looking much more high end 💖

[@ronm8948]

Love the shadow boxes,so eay.The Ethan Allen chair you did a great job.

[@janawest7186]

My goodness girl!!!is there anything you can’t do??? !! Everything is awesome!thank you for sharing!

[@rhondagurley3466]

I love it. Table came out so well

[@OrganizeCreateDecorate]

All great make overs. A tip about satin polyurethane. You need to carefully mix it often while using. This keeps the particles that dull the finish from settling in the bottom. If you don't, the finish will be glossy.

[@anniewood6265]

I found your channel by chance and have been blown away by your makes/flips and encouragement for women to be Power-ful! I have recommended you to all my female friends and family. Even my other half has been impressed!!! Soooooooo many ideas! I need to retire! Have a Merry Christmas to you and your family. Please keep spreading the Joy too. You’re amazing!!!!

👍I had to post that I had that dresser set and absolutely loved it just the way it was with the dark wood. On my journey of becoming a minimalist I sold it and the people who bought absolutely love it too. The detailing on it is gorgeous. 💝

[@sharongewehr4966]

I've been enjoying your hack and DIY decorating tips KZbins. I have a couple of suggestions you might want to check out. First, if your microfiber cloth is polyester, it will not be absorbent and will take longer to wipe off the car wax from mirrors. Look for 100% cotton microfibers---perhaps at car supply shops. Second, if you use white vinegar to add to your Durham water putty, the mixture will stay pliable longer. Third, you can get handles for spray cans from Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. that fit onto the nozzles of spray cans. The trick is to make sure the attachment is compatible with the can you are using.

[@umgazel4785]

Love watching you because you are so sweet, like a best friend. God bless you and take care!

[@deloresajacobs9551]

My mom would cover the chairs my two brother sat on with clear vinyl. This way they could sit and eat with her keeping her chairs intact. As they grew vinyl came off and everyone was happy.

You can get a handle to fit spray cans that lets you hold the paint can and you hold it like a bottle of winded using the trigger to spray. Really easy all paint stores have them. Love your show. Eva
