DIY Trash to Treasure with Chalk Paint and Decoupage

[@elenalatici9568]

I've watched this twice now. Such a great tutorial. I love that you used an image you found online, printed it and used it as decoupage. I always think tissue paper must be used and it gets quite expensive if you order from the States snd have it shipped to Italy. Making the cabinet lighter was a great choice. I can't believe you found it on the side of the road. ❤️🙏

[@kenmotley5316]

Congratulations on the rescue! Amateur status is gone out the window...you're a PROFESSIONAL! You keep getting better and better and better. Love this to pieces! Christina, those boxes look perfect for vinyl record storage. People are always looking for storage for their records. Keep them modern and they will sell like hot cakes. BLACK!! Also, you could decoupage some rock band images on some of the boxes. Stay safe and always know that you are appreciated! Ken

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

.... OOOOO!!! I love that idea Ken 🙏💙💙 That is brilliant! Vinyl record collection! Definitely modern with a twist and fun! I also have an old high five stereo system in perfect condition from the mid 70’s , the stereo’s that were made with real wood casing and a vinyl player in it that still works beautifully! It has been calling out for for a similar makeover but a hint of retro vibe needs to still remain lol 😂 I so miss vinyl ( I do have some) but it’s still the best! Thank you so much for your kind feedback and support 🙏🎨💙

Some bright yellow speck would have been nice too Thank you also for mentioning the zebra brush, I always wonder what brushes to purchase. Now, as for the boxes. . The legs have a very modern look if you are going to sale the boxes maybe a bright lime green with a fade to a soft yellow center? But if your keeping them, maybe lem lem, French linen and the brown with a ragging finish? For some reason green just screams modern to me. . . Lol Thank you for sharing your journey with this beautiful piece! **hugs**

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

... you have amazing ideas 💡 I really like the bright colours for those storage boxes with the pin legs. I find I am getting mixed up with what people on KZbin want to see? I have seen so many fantastic channels with my more simple makeovers even using one colour and new hardware and having much more success with their channels ? I am wondering if maybe I am doing to much ? Don’t get me wrong they have done a beautiful job and it is a lot of work but maybe if I give simpler ideas? What do you think? I am thinking to much lol 😂 I just love making projects that give more that a colour a change , I want to add a new character with the paint 🎨. Maybe I should just have another wine 🍷 lol 😂 I really appreciate your thoughtful feedback and comment 🙏💙 many thanks Nikki 💙

[@seviregis7441]

Well that turned out lovely, very interesting, a unique, one-of-a-kind piece. Definitely was vintaged artfully. For those black boxes you'd like to make modern... use painters tape to create various geometric shapes at random. Paint inside the tape making each shape a different color. When you remove the tape, the black will be lines between the color shapes.and that black will match the legs. Another style would be like Jackson Pollack, splatter color on the body, then paint the top a bright color using high gloss like lacquer. Then a high gloss colorless urethane on top.

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

... Thank you so much Diane 🙏💙 I appreciate your kind feedback and I honestly search on google for art styles , folk art, old artists and Early 1800 century art and painters and just search at images , I see so many fantastic art images and textures in the images for decoupage ideas! Sometimes I will look at Pinterest as well and you can find lots of beautiful decorative ideas 💡 😉

[@Purpurschnecke]

This piece is beautiful! You are using here a latex based clear glaze, would a water based also work?

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

... I know it seems a be confusing but the acrylic glaze I have ( the only one I could find at the moment lol 😂) is actually water base so it can be mixed with water base paint no problem 😉💙🎨

[@katherinemorrison3983]

In a previous tutorial, if I remember correctly, you mentioned that you did a clear glaze layer BEFORE you did the glaze with paint. Any reason why you didn't on this piece and do you recommend one method over another?

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

.... adding clear glaze first is to help anyone who is new to chalk painting and or decorative finishes allowing more control over the paint , if you need to remove it the clear glaze application first will allow you to do that! 😉 This piece I knew I won’t be removing any of the colour design I originally had mapped out I just wanted to add more depth and textures with the colour mix with glaze. If you are ever in a situation where you are unsure of the colour pattern or you think you might want to change your colour design then definitely add clear glaze first then add you glaze with colour mix so you have more control where you want your colours to be added. I hope this helps! I generally tell people to add clear glaze first only because I may change my mind but in this case I knew I wasn’t changing the colour design. Clear glaze is almost the same idea as clear wax, if you apply clear wax first you can remove any other wax colours if you change your mind. I hope this helps and it’s actually an excellent question and I think I will talk more about that for others on my next chalk paint 101 next week! As I want people to feel comfortable with clear glaze and all glazes as they are amazing to work with and give amazing effects to decorative finishes🤗💙💙

[@ymwyoyo]

Hi Christina, in one of your tutorials giving 10 tips on how to use chalk paint one point you mentioned was that one should always use a primer first on any wood piece before using chalk paint which I don't see you doing. Is there a reason for this?

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Good question! I think that so many people recycle ♻️ old furniture and don’t have a history where it was or what has been used onto the piece. The issues that happens with old wood is the overall condition and it’s difficult to tell if the wood has a lot of oil varnishing so sometimes it will bleed through the paint. Sometimes I can tell (not always) if the furniture piece will need a primer first. I get lots of comments about this issue regarding furniture so I like to tell others if you are sure just prime your old or found furniture pieces to save time and paint. Chalk paint is very thick and covers almost every surface but in some cases the products used including stains will make it difficult and if anyone is unsure 🫤 it’s best in these times to just add a primer base. If it’s your own piece of furniture or really good condition you generally don’t ever need to prime your furniture before chalk paint. I just everyone to have as much success with their projects as possible! So to answer as many comments as I get, I prefer to advise primer only because I don’t the history of their projects 🤗♥️♥️ I hope this helps!

Boxes with hairpin legs just screams mid century mod, I would suggest maybe some decoupage with mid century art design or mid century atomic art design .. I deal in a lot of mid century vintage decor pieces and dishware, and its HOT right now.. and because gravel art was such a big design element in mid century art.. I think your salt wash done heavy fits the box.. just a thought..

I have heard your a really good artist. Why don't you paint your own artwork on to furniture?

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Thank you for the kind words!! ❤️ Its something I have thought about doing it just takes a long time to hand paint and I have a limited time each week as I also work full time on top of furniture painting!! I usually paint on canvas boards, so I have to find the right furniture piece to try it on 😊🙏🎨❤️
