Omg did not even think about the vinegar. You’re genius. Love ya Mel!

[@roshawndalight7470]

Can't believe how well those stains covered up! I was nervous toward the middle of the project. Flowers were a great touch. Love it💖💖💖

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Thanks you Rose

Awe thanks man! I love that you like it! Thank you for hanging out with me

[@Lisaann1122]

Beautiful project! You make fabric painting look easy. I LIKE the idea of using a Sponge!

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

It was so much easier.. and it made me make the paint very runny so it didn’t harden up. Sometimes I try to spread things up by going a bit thick. It’s never a good idea for this lol🤷‍♀️

[@elaine1962]

The blue really made the pattern on the fabric pop. Didn't notice it before. How fun! Turned out lovely!!

[@ANIA001able]

I love the finish look

[@CeresaJL]

Looks great, Melanie! 🥰 Ok. I’m sold on fabric painting. I have a chair that would be perfect for this.

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Awesome!

I live in Pittsburgh, Pa... We have a store called Dollar General. They sell something called Totally Awesome Cleaner. it is a yellow liquid in a bottle. that stuff truly is totally awesome when I watched you clean the lounge and nothing was cleaning it I thought of letting you know about this product you might want to try it in the future it's also sold at Lowe's good luck wendy

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Hi! Debi’s design sent me! 🧜🏼‍♀️

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Hi! Thanks for coming

[@MarieElenaMathena]

Where can I get a spray bottle like yours? I loved the finished chaise

[@glendacox6540]

Well .....I always say f...k it! Lol. Turned out supercool!❤️❤️❤️

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Hahah. My sister indeed 🤗🤷‍♀️

[@dontstopdreaminabucketlist9967]

How do you do the cushion? Do you just brush the top part or the whole thing?

[@oscaroc9064]

I have a question...... I tried the process but I believe I used to much water and now my chair smells like wet .... any idea how to get rid of smell

[@janaeas5263]

what kind of vacuum is that I need one of those

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

It’s a shop-vac.

[@shannaparkansky4551]

Have you tried a organic paint? For example ECOS Paint or a lime wash paint

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Leave it up to Melanie to find a better way to do something. I love your sponge 🧽 technique!! Another amazing project piece completely revived!

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Thank you Mel!

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Have you painted upholstery?

[@lzrd8460]

I think this is a great makeover, love the colour of the sofa. Do you think the vinegar helped to set the colour? First time I’ve seen this and would be interested to know. Thanks.

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

I think so. I know it works for clothes so I can’t see why it wouldn’t here

[@jomariepiccini2521]

I have a question... Are u not putting out videos. Or am I’m missing them. Love your videos I learn so much you are so talented and creative. I am Subscribed and have the notification bell on but I’m not receiving any alerts and also I keep looking the last video was the Star Wars couch 😕

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Hi. I have been so busy. I have one I’m editing but have not finished yet. I will keep putting them out though. Thank you for paying attention. That means so much

[@jomariepiccini2521]

Thank u so much for answering just so I know you are still here for all of us. I will be patient

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Thank you. I’m trying lol. To many baskets 🤗😊

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

What happened to your shop, I went to check out the products that you showed in video but the links don't work and FB page says permanently closed.

[@matildabifsha2184]

What kind of paint is this? The link is not working :(

[@christinewallin3185]

Great transformation and an answer to a question I had about sealing with watered down Clear 1 HR Enamel. I too use both brands for different projects and getting to know the features of each is key, and oh so fun! Coming to NM soon and hope you're open; would love to see your shop and hopefully meet you.

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

We are open! Hope to see you too. Let me know when you are coming and I will try to be there

[@chattykathie7129]

Diluted diy paint seems like dye because it’s a strong pigment, wonder if you use a strong rite dye.

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Hummm…. No idea 🤷‍♀️

[@LCLW63]

This turned out so cute!!!! Great idea w/the sponge, but did you need to sand between coats since you used the vinegar?

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Yes you still want to keep it soft

[@LCLW63]

@@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie Ok That's what I figured, but wanted to check just in case. Thanks Melanie. BTW the F bomb was pretty funny

Thank you! I do have a potty mouth. Is just natural for me 🤷‍♀️

Where do you buy your matetials please? 🙏🏼

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

I sell them. Here is my website www.windmillvintagedesigns.com

[@dorisamstutz5888]

I noticed that it looked like you left the underside that the cushion sits on not colored?

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Nope. I painted it the same as the top... just didn’t think you needed to see all that

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

I also recovered the bottom and painted and sealed the legs. But holly smokes! We don’t need a 20 minute video

[@jesussalinas5564]

Take it to the car wash...I did that too mine.. really quick... pressure washer..

[@lindajohnston759]

No, you shouldn't say F--- it! This is a very unnecessarily accepted word now. It's low class I don't think this describes you at all. I never heard that word till I had graduated high school. We lived without it very well thank you. OK, enough of the soapbox sermon. Haters, leave me alone. Super project! Turned out great!

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Oh no. 😳

[@frankcicero4444]

Nice work but I would have been more concerned about bugs than the stains.

[@dinarusso3320]

That's what I said. I have no problem with second hand items but I don't want anything that was outside in my house.

[@VintageMakeoverswithMelanie]

Love your comments. Thanks people!

[@KimWilsonTV]

Maybe it should have been professionally cleaned first, it is paint over filth now...I bet the foam is very funky

[@dinarusso3320]

Hot water with laundry detergent or oxiclean would have gotten the stains out before painting.

[@wandamcgiboney5141]

When I buy a piece like that I take it to the car wash
