Furniture Flips - Shabby Chic - Upcycle - Trash to Treasure - Before and After

[@maudegagnon9793]

Love, love, love the transformations. Keep on posting your videos!

[@charlotted6247]

The dresser is so beautiful. That could be a family heirloom now. I think rescuing discarded furniture is great because it has a story and it means something because you put all of that work into it. The little stool is beyond great. I collect stools and that turned out very well!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I love the dresser too! I wanted to keep for myself!! Thank you!! 🤗❤️

[@sammyjocatlady7551]

I don't care for the distressing but I LOVE the blue chairs!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Those chairs were hard to part with but they went to a good home!!

[@melaniebishop6005]

Everything is so pretty and I like that blue.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you!!! 🤗

@@SonnetsGardenBlooms your welcome

[@denisenorth5995]

I enjoyed watching your beautiful upcycle. Please don't think I am complaining but some constructive criticism would be the sound when you play music over your video is really loud. Then if I turn that down, I can't really hear your voice. There are ways to lower the sound on the music you place in your video. If I were you I would definitely do that. The sound is pretty jarring especially if you are listening with headphones. Still really enjoyed your video.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you for being so kind! I’m new at editing videos so it’s definitely been a learning experience. On my end it wasn’t like that but once I uploaded it changed the sound. Thank you so much for the feedback!! 🤗

[@lorelynleisure4048]

I pick up things that are on the curb all the time! Love what you did, the dresser and stool are my favorites! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you Kari!! I can’t wait for Antique Acres!!

[@kellyanneross6736]

Good job on all your treasures. The only thing I would suggest is tell us what color paints and stains and how much you sold them for. Thanks for sharing

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Great suggestions! I’m having my sale this weekend so I’m hoping they sell!!

[@cathyschweid5852]

Wow, I love painted furniture, but I have trouble covering the natural wood...thanks for the encouraging video!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I agree when there’s nothing wrong with the piece I find it hard to paint!! Thank you for watching!! 🤗

[@violethoffermobilehomemove9189]

I just randomly found your channel. And I truly love all your pieces, especially the distressed dresser. Everything is just beautiful. (Although I do have to agree about the music- ugh!) Good luck as a KZbinr- I am a new subscriber😍😍👍👍

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you!! 🤗 I feel terrible about the music volume going up so loud. I’m new to editing and will have it fixed for future videos! I’m still learning but love hearing feedback to make my videos better!!

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

Love all the peices. And love the green. Me too but I don't have a truck. Have to pass up a lot of furniture. 😖. That I can see in my head what I want to do with them. Gurrrrr.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you! I can’t ever pass up a good piece of junk!! 🤣

[@loriscook5231]

Your painted fabric for the foot stool reminded me of old fashioned tea towels. I’ve used them to make cushions and chair pads.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Oh fun! That’s a great idea too! I bet they turned out awesome!!

[@elisayager634]

New to your channel and love your style. A suggestion, heat set the paint on the stool by going over it with a hot iron(no steam) and parchment paper over the striping. Also, Scotch Guard it. Beautiful work. The dresser turned out amazing.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you for those tips!! I’m so happy you found my channel!!

[@marystout1606]

Those specific chairs are of high value if you did not know. Hard to find them. Great job. I've used Coastal Blue myself.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Those chairs were amazing!! They already sold but thank you for the info! I should have know with the high quality!!

[@bethdixon3896]

Love your style 💕 Did you perhaps link the paint somewhere ? Thx 🙏🏻

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you! I just discovered that I should use the description area to add these details! I will be going back and updating the description on all my past videos. The paint is rust-oleum chalked coastal blue paint. I found it at Walmart.

[@cottageparkcreations]

Great job!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you!! 🤗

[@kiminmt.7287]

Just found your channel and I love everything that you did. That coastal blue is beautiful and the stripe on the footstool with the blue feet was perfect. Would you mind sharing the paint stain and sealer that you used on the dresser? I have been wanting to redo my old dresser but not sure what I wanted. I think my search is over. Best wishes on your channel and I will be looking forward to upcoming videos.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you!! The stain is General Finishes Gel Java Stain and the sealer is Minwax Polyacrylic either the matte or satin finish. I typically do 2-3 coats of stain and 2-3 coats of poly. This is one of my favorite stains!!

[@mala3isity]

Your pieces came out so well. Please, even out your sound levels, if you can. Wireless body mic for the workroom portions? 1:00 Out there, I have to turn my speakers all the way up to hear you and then the music blasts in. 7:25 Not as bad here but still levels are off. Thank you. Fray-Check for your ottoman material or leave the cut edges larger, stapling closer to the center, and staple/glue another cover piece over the bottom on the very edge.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I’m so sorry! This was one of my first videos and was still learning the editing software. Thank you for watching!!

[@claudineclaudinehamon2300]

Great jobs. I live it 🤩🤩 Just if I may, the sounds goes up and down either you speak or you put music. And maybe you could write down in the description box the paint and stain you have used?? Thanks

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you! I’ve figured out how to fix that problem thanks to one of my subscribers!! Sorry about the sound!! Hope you continue to watch future videos!! I’ll be updating my description on past videos to include that info!!

[@virginiasoskin9082]

In my painting program in college, to stretch a canvas on wooden stretchers we were taught to place the assembled stretcher over the center of the canvas. Then put one staple in side a, then one staple across to side c, then one staple on side b, then side d, pulling taut from side to side to get a nice taut surface. Then pulling gently at corner, place one staple on each side of those center staples, again doing the sides in order: a c, b, d. Then depending on the canvas size, you may have to place many more in the same manner. You have to pull it taut along the corners so those sides are stretched not only between the staples, but also across and diagonally. A stretched canvas surface should "ping" a little bit, but on an upholstered piece it should just look a BIT stretched and smooth. In your case, you have to continually check to make sure the stripes are not distorted. Then finally do the corners and miter them. On your piece they could be stapled bit by bit but you mitered them which is fine, but you ran into wrinkles or non-taut areas which meant you had to remove and restaple, which wastes time. That is just a note on how to stretch fabric on a stretcher, but which also applies to chair seats, stools, etc. Also, as you do things, please don't say "then WE will" because it is only YOU doing it. Say, "I will" as in "I will distress this piece next", or "I now will center the stool over the fabric", or "I am doing coat two of the chalk paint," not "we now will center the stool over the fabric." Also it is annoying when presenters call us viewers "guys". Often the word isn't even necessary. Instead of saying, "I hope you GUYS enjoyed this," say, "I hope you enjoyed this video." You is both singular and plural. Or call us peeps, viewers, people, folks, friends, or even "adorables" -- whatever; just not GUYS. Using the word guys is a bad habit. ALL that said, your flips were great, you included all necessary steps in a combo of real time and fast forward, and the items turned out beautifully. I hope you get big bucks for them! If I were younger, I would enjoy doing this so much.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you for tips...I’m always looking to improve my videos!

[@HappyHeart101]

I am from Wisconsin also...Guys is a Wisconsin thing it is like saying y’all. It’s cute and I like it! I can’t imagine being able to stop myself😀.

[@pattyseel1892]

Love your projects and your upcycle ideas, as usual! But I don't think you need to go into such detail about telling us what you are going to do...just do it! Love to watch you and hear your accent! Im from Texas so I know about accents! LOL

[@carolynknisely2383]

Did you wet your fabric before you painted it?

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

No I didn’t wet the fabric. I did iron it to make sure no wrinkles before painting and you should iron after to seal it in too! Thank you for watching!

[@Mistycolleen]

I have been watching you now for awhile and happened to notice something. Do you have a booth at water street?

Thank you!! 🤗 The dark finish is the General Finishes Gel Stain Java. It is my favorite!!

[@marjoryvick1179]

I do not know if you can fix your videos, but on this video I kept having to turn the volume up and down. I could not hear you talk without turning you up, and then When the music played, It was WAY WAY LOUD, so I had to turn you down. Anyway you can fix it so that it is somewhat the same volume thru out? LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. VERY INSPIRING AND GIVE ME A WHOLE LOT OF IDEAS. THANKS.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I unfortunately can’t fix this video but this was one of my first videos snd was still learning the editing software and have been working on all new content so hope as you watch more you’ll think I’ve gotten better!! 🤞🏼
