[@reneemason8368]

Would definitely love to see more painting videos! I absolutely love your style!

[@tammyjohnson7401]

I have started small a mirror I picked up thrifting. I really like how it turned out. I would have to say though that I was a bit nervous. Practice makes awesome. Thank you.😊

[@deborahwhitmore2422]

Just retired from a crazy stressful career and was for looking for a creative outlet. Thanks to you I'm enjoying the process of learning how to chalk paint. I love watching your videos! By the way, love you're sense of humor and comedic talent as well :)

[@thepaintedsouth]

Hi Deborah! That's my name, too! Spelled the same way. 😉 You will become addicted to chalk paint! It's so fun and has a beautiful outcome with lots of options! Best of luck for a stress free time in your life! ❤ Xoxoxo

[@christineholbrook1107]

Loved what you did with the paint .

[@kimberlydrake8463]

Love painting tutorials especially with blending colors and texture....I especially like farmhouse finishes....doing several pieces for my dining room makeover...all old ....beautiful details....I love wood tones....these pieces were bought with it in mind they would be painted...looking forward to more videos...thank you for sharing😊

[@diedre58]

I just found your channel and I love it!! I would love to see more of your chalk painting please.

[@deborahbender5333]

Good morning Deborah,. OMG I absolutely love the painting you have. I have a canvas piece it's almost like yours and I absolutely fell in love with it. I love the way the artist creates almost like it's an illusion of scenery Mine has people walking through Paris, and sitting down at sidewalk cafes. I found that on Marketplace.. I always look forward to your videos It gives me fun ideas I can use in my home.... once again thank you for an amazing video. Have a beautiful Sunday!💙

[@user-ng6nx6ps9h]

Your job is inspiration for me. I always was thinking of such projects. I see there are endless options how to make the world beautiful. Thank You !

[@franceswitham8214]

I love your painting, too. Lots of great ideas. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@ramonahart745]

Your blending is phenomenal! You really know how to get that just right punch in there! Love watching your painted tutorials!

[@betty-lousimpson457]

I have already painted my kitchen cabinets with chalk paint using a green on the base cabinets and a soft white on the wall cabinets. I wanted to "marry" the 2 colors by creating a layered old world technique to look like old furniture may have been used to create the kitchen. This video is it!!! This will accomplish what I want to create. What colors did you layer to get the beautiful finish on the white door? You inspire me to keep painting. Thank you!

[@Lily656]

I would love to see more painting techniques. Your work is just beautiful!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe]

Good morning! As always your work is outstanding, you are a true artist. The door looks very old world European style..so much character, so much depth. Just gorgeous and would make a stand out treasured piece of furniture. Hope you are having a great weekend. Take care

[@tracyg5993]

I really appreciate these tutorials. I want to learn more about layering and distressing. Thanks for sharing! I love the piece you said used to be in your foyer

[@lynnpatterson5285]

Love all your furniture pieces. So talented.

[@thepaintedsouth]

Thank you Lynn! 🧡 Xoxoxo

[@debbybuchman8091]

Would really love to see more painting videos. I would love a tutorial on the turquoise piece that was shown here.

[@MariaFlores-ql1rg]

Beautiful and yes do want to see more painted furniture or painted anything to change the look with the layer technique you spoke of. Maybe some projects where different color of whites, and other projects in different hues. Love layer techniques.

[@thepaintedsouth]

Good evening Maria! Thank you for commenting! I will definitely do more technique videos with different finishes. So glad you are interested to see more. 🤗 I hope your weekend is fabulous! 🧡 Xoxoxo

[@susantaylor8507]

Yes I would love to see more chalk paint furniture ideas I love to paint I do old hand made jewelry and decorate for weddings in the middle of a wedding now

[@angela-tu8ow]

Very nice and youe really have great instructions. I woyld love to see how you paintwd the white cabinet door...my master bath cabinets are white in dire need if a makeover...I would love to chalk paint them in a linen white with dark brown undertone in the creases...will chalk paint hold up in a bathroom?

[@ZukiGrL1]

~ Gorgeous paint finish ideas!! 💕💕 Thank you for sharing and the inspirations....!

[@lynnhair]

Thanks so much for the painting tutorials , I will be painting my kitchen cabinets so please post more tutorials .

[@betzie2]

I have a maple bench I’d love to do over but am scared of ruining it. You do give me courage! I adore that painting. I was in Paris and London last fall and so loved it there...brought back memories.😘♥️

[@terryqualls8378]

The piece that you said was once in your foyer is one of the prettiest pieces of furniture I've ever seen! In part because of its style, but in my humble opinion, mostly because of how you refinished I. I have an old dessert sitting in my dining area waiting for inspiration from me. I would LOVE to refinish it like you did that gorgeous piece. Would you please tell me how you did it? I would be so appreciative.

[@thepaintedsouth]

Hi Terry! Thank you! I am just now seeing your comment! Sorry for the delayed reply! Yes, I absolutely can and certainly will!👍🏻 I will be uploading more and more videos of decorating, DIYs and painting tutorials. 🎨 I should have one up this week! (We've had a series of unfortunate events happening so I am behind on my editing, etc.) Have a wonderful week! 🧡 Xoxoxo

Love the painting too.

[@SagiCatMagic]

Beautiful work! I want to do something similar to an old large mirror frame...I love finding original fine art at thrift stores, yard sales, and antique shops.

[@thepaintedsouth]

Thank you so much! I love to find artwork and frames, too! Xoxoxo

[@bonniescheufele4037]

Talented and Inspiring. Thank you

[@DelightfullySouthern]

Love this but I have a question.......how do you clean the kitchen cabinets? Does the wax harden and you’re able to use regular cleaner or do you have to use something special?

[@thepaintedsouth]

I will have to do another video specifically for kitchen cabinets. I should have clarified. Whoops! I would use either a polycrylic, polyurethane or lacquer topcoat on those, depending on the desired sheen, etc. Some people use wax on kitchen cabinets, but I only use wax on furniture or decor pieces. 😉 Xoxoxo

[@thepaintedsouth]

Oh, the wax does harden as it cures out, but in my opinion not durable enough for kitchens. Maybe bathrooms with light use. I'm sorry I didn't discuss that in the video. Thank you for asking so maybe others will see your comment also. Have a blessed evening! 🧡🤗

[@donnajackson857]

Delightfully Southern thank you so much! That answers my question perfectly! ☺️

[@pamelaallen6543]

I love the Fired Earth color, with a turquoise on my kitchen cabinets. Yeah!!!! Thanks for the ideas.

[@alwilkerson77]

Absolutely beautiful! I live for this kind of stuff! Great job! Tfs 💕

[@thepaintedsouth]

Thank you! So glad you liked this one! I hope you have a great weekend! Xoxoxo 🧡🤗

[@Shadypeanutlane]

I really like the blending you do... makes all the difference. I am working on the old kitchen cabinets in my home.... I am thinking they need some more layers of color...

[@thepaintedsouth]

Hey Gayla! I answered a question earlier regarding the top coat for kitchen cabinets. Firstly, I recommend more prep work for better adhesion and then also a different topcoat other than wax. I will do another video for kitchen cabinets specifically! 😉🧡 Xoxoxo

[@soblessed6438]

Thank you for tutorial. The pieces you showed that you restored were beautiful. You did an amazing job on them. Love when you post a video. I know they will be so wonderful and inspirational. Hope you have a blessed weekend.

[@ninamelsted8702]

You're the only one I don't run to the hills from when I see you with a pot of chalk paint. I know it will be used wisely and sparingly.

[@irenepirnik2926]

Love to see how to make white with the dark Crevices

[@ThePaperAlchemist314]

Thank you for the tutorial. I love the chalk paint. I’m finishing my craft studio ( she shed) and appreciate the low cost paints you chose. So many use expensive name brand paint. I’m new to this and have a limited budget to complete my project. I’d like more tutorials about how to choose paint, finishes and color combinations.

[@donnaheaden3658]

I love your eye for the beautiful decorating you do! can you put your chalk paint mixture in the comments Im planning on trying it out. Thank you very much!

[@lindaharris6967]

I’m looking to repurpose some of my items. Right now I’m into Farmhouse/French country style. What would you recommend as the first 5 colors of paint I should purchase and should they all be chalk paint? Thank you! I just found your channel 2 days ago I love your videos and your work is beautiful! I’m no on a Painted South binge!

[@lyndadooley3164]

I so enjoy your painting tutorials. I have several pieces of old gold finials and metal gold candle holder. Do you have a tutorial for painting over gold?

[@thepaintedsouth]

Hi Lynda! I have painted over gold many times with different looks. Do you have a specific color or finish you want to achieve? I may have a video already, but I also have a ton of gold pieces I am going to paint over in the future. Xoxoxo

[@lyndadooley3164]

[@brendaweaver2997]

I love your videos! One question please, if you clean and sand, why do you use chalk paint instead of just the latex?

[@TraditionsByTheSeasons]

Wow! Wow! Wow! The painting technique certainly adds a uniqueness you wouldn’t find otherwise. Love it. Those furniture pieces at the end were all AMAZING! You are so talented. Another great video friend. Thank you for sharing. I want to make my own chalk paint now. 👍 Have a great weekend! Xoxo 😘

[@thepaintedsouth]

Good morning Liz! Thank you so much! Making chalk paint is great because you can make small batches and can use any color you want! I love painting furniture, but if a piece is pretty wood, I leave it as is. Have a fabulous weekend! The weather is finally a cooler today!!! 🍁🍂🎃 Xoxoxo

[@lynnb7511]

I love the last piece you had in the foyer! I do love chalk paint, I am redoing my kitchen cabinets now in the Old Ochre and going over it in the dark wax. Its a job but turning out really good. I would love to know what colors you used in the last piece (foyer piece) Hugs,

[@thepaintedsouth]

Hi Lynn! Thank you! I had SO many layers on that piece! I may have some footage or at least photos of the process that I can include in a video. I will be uploading a thrift store makeover video soon showing the same technique applied to different pieces. Keep an eye out for it! 🧡 Xoxoxo

[@SometimeAgo65]

Oh my, I love that art piece also!! Love this work, so beautiful. You do such artistic work, I'm beginning to think you are an artist❤❤❤ I've been wanting to try chalk paint, so thank you.

Hi. I’m a new subscriber and I’m hooked to your channel . This was the most informative Tutorial I’ve seen on chalk paint , layering and making your own. I’d love to see a farmhouse Look, but the distressed version of white was probably a great example. Your style is relaxing and encouraging that one could attempt this project. You are so very talented And genuine. I just think your an amazing lady. Keep the amazing videos coming please. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@thepaintedsouth]

Good evening Kathy! Welcome! I'm so glad you subscribed and are enjoying my channel and videos! I was doing my best to explain my process and keep it simple and keep the video a reasonable length.
