Amazing! I loved the ducks or geese or whatever! Those were beautiful!

[@christinewilliams7005]

Thanks so much for showing how to do the white wax technique - much appreciated! Your projects look great.

[@annekabeard9357]

I loved the green color on the pitcher! Your cajun yelling was awesome. I could feel the excitement!

[@tinadoty5406]

Ducks are awesome, the White pitcher is upgraded. But as a shabby chic collector, the yellow one w the roses, well that broke my heart. A rare gem worth a bundle before painting it. Sorry.

[@whitefeather572]

Who in the world could pick a fave?? They are all(as per usual) absolutely beautiful!

[@missygable]

Can, xxxz

[@dianaanderson6448]

Who the heck gave thumbs down? I have words for you! MOVE ALONG!! It is so immature. I have never given a thumbs down to anyone. If I don't like what I see..... I stop watching. I'm so sick of jealous HATERS! Great job Julie! Loved all the projects.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

I ain't worried about haters

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I just started working 2 days a week at a flea market where I am a merchant for Fusion. These flip videos are making my brain explode. So many options.

[@tammywoods9952]

The watered down antiquing wax looks so good on the textured paint. It doesn’t look dirty as full strength wax sometimes does. The picture basins turned out amazing ❤️❤️❤️

[@mariesheley8378]

I trust you Julie, because everything I've seen you do has been beautiful. You have inspired me to paint and fix up everything I can find. Thanks for sharing and your videos with all your projects 😊 😀

[@jodiebraddy4435]

Love how you include other people’s ideas from the group! Love, love, love!!!!

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

They been having some wonderful inspo that I just have to recreate

[@cherylsebby5607]

Wow, I remember the 1980 ducks, I had them of course but I would have never thought to chalk paint them! And the white gives so much depth. 💙👏😁

[@ladonnawoodley5279]

My favorites were the ducks and the bottle. I get so many ideas watching you. Thanks for sharing!

[@janetbyrne7765]

I love that you are so original in what you make. I love the white wax over the spring colors and terracotta. I was amazed by how the silver tray was transformed when you painted it in gray. It is so much fun to see your ideas. The Very best was when you used the curved chair back for the handle. So original.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed

[@connieh.4689]

I have a chalk paint recipe I would like to share. It covers everything in one to two coats typically. I buy sample latex paint because it goes a long way and you get the custom color you want. First take a container and put 1/3 cup plaster of Paris, one third cup water, mix well. Add the entire contents of the sample paint, approximately 8 oz. Mix well. You now have chalk paint. I absolutely love using this mix. And again remember it goes a long long way. Also great benefit it dries within minutes. Hope this is useful to someone.😊

[@zmatthes2235]

Great thanks

[@kimb7970]

Thank you !

[@loriday1394]

Connie, thanks for sharing this. Can't wait to give it a whirl.

[@valerieguzek9692]

Thanks for sharing! Do you have to use latex or can your use a different type of paint? I'm allergic to latex.

[@connieh.4689]

@@valerieguzek9692 I am not sure, but I would say yes...you can find info on KZbin and Pinterest. 😊

[@mossycreekdesigns2]

I've already been using some textured paint on some items and just love it! I had a ceramic piece that my grandmother had painted, but over the years it had chipped. The texture in the paint helped hide those and made a basically unusable piece into something I can bring out and use with fond memories.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

That's great and yes. I no longer pass up pieces with chips on it

[@kmjnkns]

Love the little wooden carrier you made for the lavender. That curved back makes the perfect handle! So clever! The white wax adds such a nice patina.

[@debbybuchman8091]

Awesome projects. Surprisingly the ducks were my favorite! Beautiful ❤️

[@barbaralaws8162]

I loved the bowls and pitchers, but then I loved it all. Great ideas.

[@kimcollins9462]

I love both of the pitchers! They are both beautiful now, I love the backing soda technique. I will be trying that. Thank you for sharing!

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

You're welcome

[@tueches1822]

thanks for going thru the baking soda mix and process on video. I'm a visual person and learning this way is so much easier for me than reading a formula. great job!

[@meghanstufflebean4139]

I love the ducks! That opened my eyes to what else to up cycle that I can find at a thrift store for my home.

[@joannejensen4369]

Wow👍🌻

[@barbaradawson8506]

Love love love all the textured pieces I have to try this

[@kelliegilliam4711]

Loved all of them, but my favorite was the TRAY & PITCHERS!! GORGEOUS!!

[@debbysimon120]

loved the ducks! I'm a duck lover. All the projects were beautiful.

[@tep1962]

I think the ducks were my favorite. I loved that color. I'm gonna be on the look out for a bunny or two.

[@Diane56ful]

Loved them all but loved the ducks! Your daughter is precious!

[@masunshine2970]

Very nice job on all of your projects. Love the ducks and the bottle.

[@debbiethompson7024]

Love all of them. Especially ducks. Can’t wait to try this technique.

[@kikibrownie1374]

Did you have a stressful day? Sit down an watch Julies videos! Your videos are soo relaxing!🤗

[@pamtaylor5542]

Saving this video for sure. I loved everything and can't wait to try each project. Thanks so much for sharing your talent!!

[@micheletanzillo7310]

Just loved the green waxed duck! Thanks for using a different color. I love green!

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

I'm trying 🤣

[@bettymcgillis6043]

I love loved the ducks, the color with the white wax was perfect.

[@dawnwindsor9800]

I can't get enough of your videos...loved the bottles.

[@crosezrose]

Julie, I am loving your flips and painting techniques, SO much inspiration!! Thank you so much!

[@bettycotten8768]

I liked them all, but I especially liked the ducks. Good job

[@dianebrown4559]

You're doing a good job explaining about paints, waxes, clear sprays, stamps/stencils, glues, dies, etc. & keeping us updated on products that are out in the marketplace nowadays & how to combine things to get a result that is different . . . like making something look as if it is cement when it isn't. Back in the day when I was updating stuff for my home & for the yard sale . . . no duct tape, no painter's tape, only masking tape, no glue sticks only Elmer's Glue! You get the idea. Thank you for a great video.

[@jaynebrown693]

Those little pots with the Lavender and how you frosted them with white paint AND THE CRATE YOU MADE,......LOVE IT! Love, Love, Love your crates you make !! But love the pitchers, the bottle and tray....LOL!!! AND DUCKS !!! 🦆🦆 You get the picture....LOVE EVERYTHING YOU CREATE !!!

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

🤣🤣 thank you

[@mesquitemagic]

They're all great! I love listening to you. Your accent is great.

[@texasgal2794]

Oh my goodness!! I like the ducks the most! That muted blue is my favorite color and the ducks turned out beautifully!

[@theresamc8515]

LOVED them all. But the green pot and roses was the best and most surprising, because I just couldn't see that poor thing being revived. I think the twine was the cherry on top. 😄

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

🤣🤣

[@sharonsands708]

I loved the ducks. All the details is what made them look so good.

[@joyandson1]

That white wax makes those pieces look awesome! Thank you for sharing the transformations.

[@margaretmangun3260]

[@vickiebelk635]

I just love the green water pitcher!! What a beautiful color!! All of the other projects were great too!! I'm glad you mentioned sealing them. I was going to ask that question.

[@peanutpearson3333]

Love how the pair of ducks turned out, so cute! Also that textured bottle with the stamp.

[@lettycardenas4091]

Wow I just loved the crate for the lilac pants using that chair back made all the difference!!

[@cindyspear1082]

I loved the last one. The bottle that was stamped. Thanks!

[@Chez-Lara]

Amazing- and I'm also crazy in love with that sweater

[@lynanmeredith8176]

You are quite inspiring! I love the ducks, but those pitchers! Wow!!

[@tracykehoe8292]

Love all the tutorials. Thank you so much. Loved the ducks. I have overlooked so many similar figurines. The potential is limitless. Love how the bottles turned out as well. I just happened to get the same stamp set in the mail just this week. Can't wait to try them. Also going to try adding more texture to the bottles by layering on paperclay, then using the stamp over that to give it more of a crockery feel. Planning on going over it with some dark wax after I paint it. Thank you so much fo off the ideas.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

That sounds beautiful, I will also be doing something similar in an upcoming video

[@mistylange2679]

I liked and shared it to my face book Julie, I think you are so talented and your heart is so sweet to share with all the ladies. Thanks for being you.

[@carolmaclean1356]

[@sforbis2001]

[@dianesmith9512]

I loved the pitcher and bowls. They were all great.

[@deborahdeboer1175]

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Got to save the animals figurines!

[@bethwishitwereviolet5938]

Hi Julie! All of these are so pretty. My favorite was the bottle with the stamp. You always make me laugh, and I love it. I would have been yelling with excitement also. 💕

[@SimpleSouthernReflections]

I really enjoyed watching you creative these fantastic makeovers, your energy is also contagous, thanks.

[@msdtx3539]

Guilty of going back and watching older videos. It's like finally discovering a popular tv series when it's in season 4 - I'll catch up one day! I can't believe how good that green flower pot looks now. And loving the ducks! I used to paint ceramic animals and stuff back in the 80's - wishing I had all those pieces now. That technique really brings out the detail and totally transforms them. Love that color under the white wax!

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Me too, I loved painting ceramics, long lost art now

[@Anncheryl61]

That teal colored sweater looks amazing on you! Love all the projects 🤔🤔🤔 the potted lavender in the wooden shelf us probably my favorite 😊

[@margaretcavin2231]

Those ducks are so 1980’s ( I had them is how I know) but that white wax technique does amazing things! Thanks for the inspiration!

I will have to look for some this summer!!!! Thanks, Julie!!!!
