OMG Jonathon I just ate a big bag of crisps whilst watching you paint a fabric chair😲 I was so fascinated I didn't watch how many crisps I ate. By the way, the chair looks fabulous, great job.👍👍 Well I guess I don't need to think about dinner now😀

[@theoldsonso]

Awesome!!!!!!

[@ThrifterPicker]

You’re a really good teacher and speaker.

[@JonathonMarcMendesPaintedLove]

Wow thank you very much I really appreciate this as I have to work hard at it I’m severely dyslexic and sometimes I stumble over my words and even make words up that I’ve never been here before 🤣🤣 so I’ll take the compliment😊❤️🙏

[@annabell-t2k]

[@wandakowalski7063]

Such a stressful world that is untangled by watching one of your gentle videos … every detail fully explained. Thanks Jonathan. You are lovely!

[@tnishome3200]

Whether an algorithm lead me to you or just my good luck, I am thankful. I am new to your channel and think that you may have, single-handedly, saved Victorian-era chairs from destruction or relegation to a dark, damp basement, never to be seen again (at least here in the USA). I immediately jumped into action to try this technique. My fabric was more of a tone-on-tone brocade with woven bees throughout the fabric (probably popular in the 1980s and 1990s) than the satiny-type that you used. Unfortunately, there was no way to fill-in the bees, so I just embraced the "bee" theme. I also tweaked the color mixture to more of the yellow spectrum than orange. I am very pleased with the results. Your instructions were easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing this technique, your talents and vision. Well done young man.

[@unconditionalloveforall7073]

Very cool!♥️♥️♥️

[@lulurosario1884]

I started liking the video before watching it. I now have complete confidence in what you are presenting. Well done, Professor.

[@superchickfan05]

Oh! I am excited to attempt this on some sad faded theatre prop chairs!

[@beverlyjackman2669]

Wow ! Never seen this done

[@anthonyshurburn7560]

Spray your stencil with an oil based spray polyurethane on both sides. It could last you a long time. You did an amazing job...it really looks like beautiful leather.

[@kcobbx63]

Well I am just wowed! Gorgeous…both pieces!

[@scarlettpoppy1]

A Big thank you for this tutorial I’m now on the hunt for a chair to go into panelled Mens snug/smoking room.

[@alainperez1904]

[@barbaragrace1992]

I would really love it if you decided to make your own stencils. It would be made in the UK for a start and hopefully you will do a few really great baroque ones. I cannot find anything I like.

You have such a talent, and I love how you explain what you’re doing for each step. Also I wanted to say, I don’t leave messages very much, I’m more of the quiet watcher. I’m also going to add, you are truly gifted. And I am looking forward to seeing more videos. I’m from Illinois, in America. Take care…

[@didyouknowb4]

your friend is so cute

[@garywall1572]

When i saw this chair you had done years ago I was so impressed it had to be the most incredible paint effect I'd ever seen. But, how to do it like you . I couldn't find it anywhere, now, yeah, thankyou Jonathan. I can't wait ive had 2 chairs sitting around for years terrified id bugger them up. 😁

[@nancyhoskins197]

Once again, I am stunned by your talents! I plan on binge watching this evening as I have two similar wing chairs I have considered painting. One is a moire stripe in a forest green. The second is a textured, scroll pattern of multiple colors with a cream background. I would reupholster them in a navy background with a cream print, or cream background with navy, but it would be cost prohibitive, as would new chairs. How difficult would a dark base be to achieve a leather like look? Your comment that Annie Sloan chalk paint offers a softer feel than acrylic paint is what caught my interest.

[@JonathonMarcMendesPaintedLove]

I would most definitely go for the least amount of texture in the fabric although I have done it before and it does work pretty well just remember follow the steps thin coats and build the layers remembering to stand in between too much pain buildup in certain areas could crack. But to be fair the results can be staggering as well if the upholstery is quite firm I would say that’s the one to go with it is kind of key anyhow I’m wishing you all the best for your project please be sure to send me some pictures I would love to see 😊😊😊

[@conniehusband1365]

[@JonathonMarcMendesPaintedLove]

Absolutely all my pleasure

[@dibright1445]

You are truly a master in your art. I tried doing this several years ago and I totally ruined it lovely chair. It ended up being very crackled and stiff. Oh what a mess I made of a very pretty chair. After watching your very informative video, I’m thinking I may be able to rescue it. Yes I still have it in the hopes that someday I would be able to fix the awful mess I made. Thank you for sharing your talent with others. You have given me hope for that little chair and inspiration to use your technique on other items that need a bit of care or just an updated look. I’m looking forward to watching your other videos to help me transform future and possibly other items that that I gave up on because I didn’t have the correct information to to take them from drab to beautiful.

[@JonathonMarcMendesPaintedLove]

Oh thank you so much for your lovely message and I truly hope that you can resurrect the chair please let me know how you get on happy painting 😊❤️🙏
