What a gorgeous transformation. Tide pool is such a beautiful color. Thanks for sharing!

[@faffdesigns]

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching! 😃

[@christineessink702]

I love it!

[@faffdesigns]

Thank you!

[@trudyeby464]

I love that Tidepool. The cubbies would be easier ( not easy!) of you could take the back off.

[@faffdesigns]

Yes they would!

[@bonniebryant3238]

Wow! This is phenomenal! I love how it turned out. Do you think the Silk paint would work on kitchen cabinets? I want to paint mine and would love a one and done paint.

[@faffdesigns]

I've painted a kitchen using SIlk - its perfect for it!

[@adriennecopeland8165]

Hi Connie. Really enjoying learning some techniques and ideas from you! Could decoupage be used on the 'leather' writing pad? TIA Adrienne.

[@faffdesigns]

Yes it can!! My friend Laura has a video on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2ekXp2InsR5kLcsi=VWKjoghqohF299mh

[@adriennecopeland8165]

@@faffdesigns thanks a bunch x

[@paulaprice2863]

Well done, loving this look of natural sanded/bleeched look, well I think it just looks very natural, hence the name I guess! 😂. One question, did u wipe the stain off at any point? the excess I mean, or did you just apply and then left it to dry, no buffing, no wiping off the excess?? Sorry, Just checking, I'm pretty sure u would have said if u did... but sucess is in the detail! Beautifully finished. ❤😍

[@faffdesigns]

Thanks for your lovely comment! No, I didn't wipe the stain back as it was absorbed very quickly into the dry wood. You can wipe back for a more sheer look or you can layer this for a more solid colour. It's a very versatile product!

[@christineessink702]

Did you wipe back the stain at all after applying?

[@faffdesigns]

I just allowed it to soak into the grain and worked it in using the applicator pad

[@carolbouche5809]

Can’t we buy the products from you or give you credit somehow?! Also where can we get you donations or other tokens of appreciation for you and your work!!!

[@faffdesigns]

Aww that’s super kind of you - I don’t sell the paint products but I do get paid for my KZbin channel so the more views and subscribers I have, the more it earns me 😀

[@emilykrahn3185]

Thank you for this post. Just a helpful health tip please use a mask when you're Sanding. thanks.

[@emilykrahn3185]

I see you have the vacuum hose but I think it's still a good idea thanks

[@faffdesigns]

It’s a dustless sander but thanks for your concern
