[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you Jayne!

[@AngieBrittHEC]

That turned out even better than I was expecting! I have to say that it was SOOO nice to see you guys back in your kitchen! There's something about it that's so warm and awesome. 🥰 Loved today's video! I hope you all are on the mend and feeling better soon.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@iant8701]

Turned out great ! Marrying 3 different things and turning them into one cohesive thought is awesome ! Great job guys 👍👍👍

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you! It was the paint that pulled it all together. 😊❤️

[@lajoni7990]

As I said on your FB page I really didn't think I was going to like this before you started to paint it...but then the magic happened and you did it again ....absolutely love it, in fact, it's one of my favourite pieces of yours

[@JunknLovebyKelli]

I am a major fan girl of yall! I have literally binge watched all of your videos! I have watched this one and the French country video over and over! You two are so inspiring!! Thank u so much!

[@milkweeddreams8828]

Adorable, awesome job...I love how we drag our tarps all over the house to paint our furniture, especially in winter...hey, we do what we do and it works, you two are so cute when working together, you rock it and thanks for the milk paint tips...!

[@crescentmooncottage]

It turned out wonderful. I love the full chunky spindles on each side. BTW I love the bits from the WNW in this edited video. Hopefully it will drive more people to watch your lives and have more people watch edited videos to see the project get finished ❤️

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! Hopefully people watch both videos. These are some good ones. 😊

[@r.leenerts6248]

Jami, I so appreciated your comment on the milk and clay-based paints being how paint used to be made. Makes all the sense in the world why vintage, antique items have that look about them that just doesn't come from modern-day paint that's made to not chip and crackle. Awesome video again and you achieved a great-looking piece!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@hwy138]

WOW WOW WOW !!!! You outdid yourselves this time !!!

[@debbiedodge749]

I really like this small fireplace. Jami I sure pray you feel better soon. I feel so bad for you, but you r a trooper, u just keep plugging along! Hopefully all your levels will get straightened out! Love Y'all both!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️ thanks Debbie!

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Wow what a difference looks beautiful thanks for the new painting technique I'd seen it before and it's still astounds me and how good it comes out in the end

[@cassandrad1727]

Turnt out great💟 gotta luv that chippy goodness glad u shared video 👍 Prayers for your Fam🙏

[@Dawn-tv1bk]

I wish I could give this video 5 thumbs up! Truly a work of art that y'all have perfected. This is exactly the look I was trying to achieve. I can't wait to get started. Hope y'all feel better soon. 😷👍🤗

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@carolynlunel9382]

It looks authenticly 100 years old..I looove it! Great job!! Perfectly staged too💕💕

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! Old chippy was the goal!

[@carolynlunel9382]

Truly perfectly imperfect..it is just right!! So glad you used greens!💚

[@lindanorris6177]

That looks so authentic! These are my favourite videos from you guys! Thanks.

[@peyton1046]

Amazing how you guys came up with this idea and put everything together! Beautiful!

[@metalkingtohorses]

nice job James and Zeb! feel better, at least you all are cozy in the house doing what you love ( thats my favorite time to be creative, we have pretty mild weather here in Michigan TODAY.

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Love this! I think I need to try it out myself! Wonderful use of scrap👌

[@evek8220]

Love the way it chipped and crackled😊

[@junering4265]

I love going back & rewatching your videos. They are so helpful when I panic 😆

[@Beth112453]

LOVE how this turned out!!! ❤❤❤

[@laurieberry8761]

Super awesome!!! Love it! Talk about trash to treasure!!

[@roselarouge9107]

Oh! Thank you! I’ve been looking for mantles for my bedroom and living room and I can’t find ones I like ever! Now I know why I just need to make them!!! I have everything but spindles! Now the quest for spindles!

[@hnycreek]

Ok....I gotta say this.....FANTASTIC LOVE IT!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@sandracapra6130]

Awesome job! I watched from your start to finish.You guys Aced this! ❤ it!

[@donnaaguilar9985]

I absolutely love it. Great job. 👍😊❤️

[@kmgreen1740]

This might be my favorite video you have posted. I love the project...but it is also so clear and easy to see your work! The lighting and the close ups and angles were great. I could even hear Jamie. I can usually hear only Zeb consistently. Thank you and I hope you get well soon.

[@barbarajeanbraceletlady3090]

Amazing, it looks like a really old piece taken out of an old house. 🦋

[@lindeehopkins6439]

This is incredible guys!!! TY for showing the technique

[@antidotetochaoschats]

It looks so good! Super chippy ❤️❤️❤️

[@tfntexas]

You would never know it was pieced together from all the different parts...it turned out awesome!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@starr6465]

Getting Better & Better, Beautiful Job. TUFS

[@kendellvinot3717]

That is absolutely gorgeous!!! You guys are amazing!!! Thank you for sharing your expertise!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️

[@debf8972]

Awesome job you two. I love this finish.

[@springhernandez7417]

This is absolutely gorgeous

[@kandaceespinoza2590]

What a gorgeous piece!

[@janeyjanedee2493]

It looks glorious, fabulous...I love it! I’ve said it before but I love how you get on with your videos. You don’t talk it to death in the beginning, telling what you’re going to do. Your commentary and editing is first class. I never skip ahead on your videos but almost always do it on other channels. It’s a pleasure to watch, you are both very entertaining.❤️❤️

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks Janey!

[@KiwiJane1]

Janey, yes!! And they don’t blast you with music. With other videos, I have to keep changing the volume...very frustrating. J & Z know what they’re doing.

[@justdi3347]

So pretty and I agree with a lot of the comments about how you get right into it. I’ve been following you for about 4 years maybe more and you guys just get better and better. Jami, there’s a KZbin channel called “Ask Wardee” and she also has a website but in that video she explains what she uses to get rid of colds and flu effects. Anyway, I believe she uses an elderberry elixir for colds. She’s fantastic but it may help when you feel colds coming on for you and your family.

[@vickiequinney4268]

Beautiful! Thank you! Feel better!

[@beverlybullock4150]

Absolutely beautiful 😍

[@donnaprzybilla2936]

Poor Jami! You sound like you're not feeling well at all! Thank you for all your lessons

[@maryanndetweiler932]

Another great video!! Love it! Thanks for sharing...now I want to try it.😊 Praying you & your family will be better soon!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️

[@Cherylsgirls]

Love how this turned out!

[@carolewhite4659]

You two never disappoint! It was seriously scary looking with the random paint but as usual, the end result is awesome!!!

[@teresae7322]

Beautiful job as Always!! Jami, Bless You Heart! I don’t know when you two taped this but, I hope your feeling better 💕

[@doreenray5521]

You out did yourselves on this one! So pretty!

[@jaimehornickel8292]

love!! chippy is my favorite and great video to remind me about using hair drier and wax. going to do this look to a sofa table I'm getting ready to start!

[@watergirlrevivals8248]

OMG! Love this chippy goodness! My first milk paint attempt was an epic fail, and I’ve been using just Debi DIY paint, for the most part. This definitely made me want to try some milk paint again! Thank you!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️

[@The_Tinkers_Cottage]

What a great way to use up little bits of this and that with you paint!! My brain is on over load of all the possibilties!

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️

[@IowaGarden]

I was waiting for you to paint this! Love it😎

[@pennyblakeley8999]

I love the way this mantle turned out, it has the perfect amount of chippiness

[@shannonhelwigdesigns8982]

This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing your process!❤️

[@brendam2235]

[@prospeaker58]

[@catherinemiles8021]

[@mariettakristoffersen701]

Wow wow wooOOOW! You are sooooOOOOO talented guys! Greetings!!! 😄

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️

[@debreyes2130]

When my husband was alive, we couldn't have open fires because he was on oxygen. I have a fireplace in my apartment. We purchased a fake iron stove heater (electric) and placed it in front of the fireplace for when he got terribly cold. It looks awesome and this mantel would be perfect for something like that. My heater even has a fake fire so it is so cozy! I love watching you make things like this

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️

[@karenhills8535]

Wow! Very fun, so pretty

[@marinaroper6922]

Amazing work!👍🏻😁

[@lindasegraves6207]

Great Job Jami and Zeb! Jami & Zeb please rest so you can get well.

[@susanwenrich8333]

Beautiful. I'm gonna try this, one day😉

[@judybryan9575]

Great project, who would guess it's from odds and end pieces! Feel better!

[@lynvoyager5976]

The 'mantle' turned out amazing. I'm definitely going to make a similar piece for myself, without the long side pieces though. I thought it would have looked nice if you cut the spindles in half length ways so they sit flush against the boards. Would also mean you had an extra to make a second mantle. Wonderful and explanation as always.

[@TheRetroFarmhouse]

This turned out so great! Get well soon you two! 😊❤️

[@npalanzi123]

Awesome job! 🎉🥰

[@bestgirl1956]

I really love the way this turned out.

[@debbiewessig3688]

Its amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@janm9855]

I’m a big chippy lover. Thanks.

[@KenoBabe777]

So Beautiful and FUN!!!!!!!

[@purpledaisies151]

I sure hope you feel better than you sound. Just got over a horrible cough that lasted a whole month. Best wishes.

[@annhaws6677]

Wasn't sure about that mantle but it really turned out beautifully!!!

[@dianejohnson8904]

Fabulous, now I have my daughter hooked on your KZbin channel

[@glendagrant9042]

It turned out amazing! It will make a room!♥️🔨👍

[@melodyfisher1512]

I LOVE everything about this project...the vision, the process, and the end product!👏👏👏👏

[@kathleenmay6711]

Beautiful!❤️

[@robinrummel1359]

This is my favorite finish, love crackle and chippiness! Amazing transformation especially considering how sick you all have been! Time to go back to bed and get out with your favorite tv shows, if you can with a house full of sick young'uns. Praying for a fast recovery for everyone. ❤️❤️❤️

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️ thanks Robin!

[@sallyhutton6276]

I was thrilled I had a new video to watch. This my dears is chippy perfection. ( Mic drop !) Go take turns bathing in Lysol and get the Rays better.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Hehe. Bathing in Lysol. 😂

[@allymonte7295]

[@mandybewkes5300]

Amazing I am so OCD about drips but it looks just great. Thankyou for sharing this process!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Gotta just run with them and sand them off at the end sometimes. 😊

[@jodiemeschke6889]

Looks amazing.

[@billiemitchell2236]

I love the way it turned out, so cool. When you first started painting, It looked so fun. I could have a lot of fun doing that. It kind of reminded me of Dionne's painting.

[@vickiegriffin9414]

Holy cow! That is amazing.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@debbiegavin353]

Pretty nifty! I have to confess, I had my doubts when you started building this piece. I thought to myself, these two will just nail anything together . It turned out so cute. 😘

[@debbieroelle2078]

It's absolutely perfect!!Love the outcome thanks for sharing. I have never used milk paint. I so want to try!!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

You guys are amazing!

[@lifesuchasthis3932]

When you guys first started this project putting it together I was thinkingwhats this going to look like it surpassed what i thought completely gorgeous
