I really like your flair for these antique styles, French / English country, just beautiful.

Thank you so much !😊 ❣️

[@paulavanduynhoven8951]

You do beautiful work. I wouldn’t concern myself with the silly comments like the size brush or label of your finished work. It’s beautiful ❤

[@karoleenascottage]

Thank you so much Paula and for picking up on that. 😉❣️

[@lgcushman9154]

I agree 100%. I would NEVER go on someone's KZbin channel and criticize, critique, or give unsolicited advice.

Beautiful, my favorite is the lady frame. Love french country style. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕

[@karoleenascottage]

So glad you like it Annie! ❣️

[@maryheckler6766]

Good morning, Johni! These projects & prints are just lovely! I've always thought that French country, English country & even Tuscan country are all related. I love them all! 😊

[@karoleenascottage]

You are so right - there is a lot of overlap in those styles. We’ll have to do a bit of research and experimenting with some of that. 😉 Thank you for watching and commenting! ❣️

[@karentracey9948]

Beautiful pictures,very pretty and feminine exactly what I like ❤

[@karoleenascottage]

[@karoleenascottage]

What a beautiful idea for thrifted frames. All three turned out gorgeous 🥰

[@karoleenascottage]

Thank you! So glad you like them! ❣️

[@beckylopez4211]

We used to have an antique store in my town that unfortunately closed during COVID but I’m pretty sure the first picture with the girl would have sold for at least $60 or more. Very beautiful items. ❤❤❤

[@karoleenascottage]

Thank you so much Becky. Sorry to hear the store closed but very kind of you to give that feedback. ❣️

[@shadygardens2256]

I am not done watching this video. I had to pause while I went to pinterest to save some English Country ideas before I forget. I think maybe that’s what my “style” is called! The frame looks so much better with your rose castings applied, and the lady print completes it perfectly. And I love the project with the chair prints too! I love your channel and your manner of presenting your projects. I’m a subscriber and I have all the notifications turned on.❤

[@karoleenascottage]

You are so sweet to say these things. It’s so exciting that you’re researching English Country style! I’m looking forward to hearing all the feedback and discussing it over the next several videos. Thank you for the comments on the projects and my videos. And, Thank you so much for subscribing and watching. 🙏❣️

[@lisacrafton7485]

Love that white frame

[@karoleenascottage]

Thank you Lisa! ❣️

[@kathyesargent9088]

Love your frames but remember gold frames work well in French country too❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@karoleenascottage]

That’s a good point you bring up Kathy. It’s a good accent for most any color in French country and English country. The gold is pretty and it’s hard to decide when to paint it and when to use it. Thank you for your feedback! ❣️

[@donnacurry166]

Hi Johni! Love them all and the pink frame is just perfect!

[@karoleenascottage]

Hi Donna! Thank you so much! I hope you and your family are doing well! ❣️

Beautiful projects! You did a wonderful job bringing new life to all of them. You are so creative! 😊

Thank you so much Nancy! I'm so glad you liked them! 💕

[@brendagurley4217]

I liked the mirror better before you painted it and added the sheep stamp. Just a difference in opinion I guess. The ladies were cute and I love the little rose mold from Amazon.

[@karoleenascottage]

Thank you for your comments Brenda and for watching. ❣️

[@farmfreshdesigns59]

So I may have listened/watched your video about 4 times. This morning has been hectic and I kept being interrupted.😊. The first piece was simply gorgeous. I had not thought about adding moulds to a decorative frame but they really elevated that frame. The last project was so cute. I loved the prints. Great job friend!

[@karoleenascottage]

😂 I can relate to interruptions and things being hectic! Thank you so much for your kind comments Myra! I loved your video this week too! Hope you get some down time soon! ❣️🙏❣️

Where do you get the small rose mould?

[@karoleenascottage]

I found that on Amazon. If you go to www.amazon.com/shop/karoleenascottage you can find it on the tab with stencils, clay, stamps, etc.

Thank you!!

Thank you for watching Sarah! 💕

[@lynnpelletier4321]

I'm including the difference between French and English Country....... French decor is more elegantly rustic, symbolizing a quaint country life. English decor is dominated by heavy floral prints and hunting scenes that symbolize tradition and power.

[@karoleenascottage]

oooh, that’s good and that makes sense. I can picture those as I read the descriptions. I’m finding out there is some overlap with those depending on the color scheme too. Thank you for that feedback Lynn! ❣️

[@Camille719]

Just say European Country and capture the entire continent. 😉

[@karoleenascottage]

lol! Love it! 😃❣️
