Farmhouse and French country is not popular in coastal Florida, but ANYTHING beachy or coastal does. So I make these in what I call a coastal farmhouse style! You are right, you have to find out what works in your area. Love you channel!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You’re exactly right you just have to do your research to see what cells best in your area and go for it I can see how the coastal would do really well in your area down in Florida

[@tammylogan2304]

I'd love to see some of your work. Thank you

[@zandragibbs2386]

April 2023- watching from Mexico, I am a retired preschool teacher living my best life ever! Teaching the bible and crafting for my friends and family.❤

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks for joining along ❤️

[@terrimoore8962]

Thank you so much! I’ve been able to accumulate a lot of scrap wood, I worked in a construction company in the office and they were always throwing away scraps and they would let me know when they had them so I took my truck and grabbed them all plus neighbors throwing things away And for the printer I was able to go on our local marketplace and get a really nice printer for $20. It works perfect and I make my own chalk paint because I buy the oops paint from Lowe’s and use that so you’re right Deidre it doesn’t take a lot of money if you just know how to be frugal getting your supplies together and any time goodwill would have packs of brushes for $.99 I would just grab all I could and I’m still using all that And even my printer/computer paper a lot of times Goodwill will have big packs of that really cheap. I’ve learned all my techniques as far as the transfers on wood and so forth from your channel. You do an excellent job explaining how you do this. I appreciate you so much you’re awesome! Also, I’m from Indiana

[@OurUpcycledLife]

This is so awesome! Exactly why I love what I do ❤️ so glad to be able to share and inspire

[@rosetealatte9282]

Hey one other tip. I'm from Canada so I'm not 100% sure you have this in your location. But, in Canada we have paint recycling centers that also give away their 'used' paints. Its basically a huge 'oops' center. You could take your money saving efforts to the next level! Some of the colors are admittedly hideous, but for the most part the colors are neutrals. I painted my house entirely at least three times with this technique. Another thing I would do is if I wanted a specific color like Greige for example, I would get an empty five gallon bucket and mix my own color by using mistints and the whites I would find. I would also strongly advise straining the paint as there sometimes are crusties in them.

[@sharonmcbride7201]

Diedre is in Canada, can’t remember where.

[@deniserose4292]

Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to go through everything - it was really great to see you do it in real time and have you explain everything. Thank you from Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 😊❤❤

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@clagolf18]

I absolutely love all of your videos. I have learned so much from you and you have inspired me to try new and different projects. I went to your FaceBook page and began following you there as well. I always look forward to the next video that you make. I am a "craft addict" and believe me, it's a real thing! The struggle is real! Thank you so much for sharing your love and knowledge in the crafting arena. This video was perfect.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I'm so glad!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You are so welcome! Thanks for the kind words

[@carolynross9161]

Watching from a suburb of Raleigh, NC (Southeast USA) I just 'found' you a few days ago and I'm hooked. You have some wonderful ideas, and explain how you do everything so well. Oh! You shared how to make chalk paint with baby powder, and now if I want to use chalk paint without making a whole bunch, I put a little PVA glue in a well on my little plastic palette, add the paint color I want to use, and then sprinkle baby powder in the center well of the palette. I stir up the paint and glue, dampen my brush, dip it in the baby powder, dip in the paint, and then stipple them together on the edge of the paint well. Works like an absolute charm, and I would never have thought of it without your help.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks so much ! Glad you are enjoying ❤️

[@theresasmith6936]

It takes a special person and you are it. It’s been a joy watching your channel grow to this wonderful platform. ❤️❤️❤️

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I appreciate that! That’s why I love this platform ❤️ being able to share all my crafting adventures

[@katherinespencer2073]

In my area we are so over signs which have sayings on them. But the $ store does have some cute ones. I can put 10 minutes of regular hourly earnings towards any 1 of them. I do get wood for free from building supply stores & build infrastructure with them. Arbors, pergolas, larger bird or bat houses, small raised bed garden boxes, little garages for green bins/garbage cans or bikes. Always can figure out ways to use all sizes of various thicknesses of lumber, wire shelving etc. When stores change over for any reason their dumpsters are full of treasures! Frugal living on very low income has paid off as I accumulate properties to landscape with interesting structures to sell for a bit of profit...but mostly to keep really active/busy to ensure that I am not a senior whining about loneliness or poverty. Glad that you & your viewers have also found ways to invest in yourself w. regards to your capability at this time. That of course is fluid if you are ambitious & a lifetime learner.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks so much I always love upcycling Inn repurposing as much as I can

[@deborah6972]

Thank you for another great video! Just a tip I've learned to make white letters on a dark background using negative space and layers of paint with sickers or cricut. So for example, i paint the sign area white, then print out the word(s) I want in letters and place on the white paint (or use letter stickers from dollar store). Brush the whole sign including over the letters with black or another dark colour. After it dries most but not all the way i peel off the stickers and voila, white letters appear!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yep that works great

[@ambergreen5841]

Odd question. Do you have a video showing what you mean:how this works!! ;))

Right now though I'm down for the count recovering from surgery & not able to do any crafts for the moment so this kind of sucks for me, but maybe I'll get some ideas for new projects for when I recover & can get back into doing my crafts. Anyway, I'm just rambling now, so I will just wish you a very blessed day. 💕✝️💕

Thank you sooo much for this and everything you do! You are a DIY genius, truly, and you've opened my eyes to so much when it comes to being creative and how to source inexpensive materials. In any case, I do have a question. Can you use this technique on paper that has been pre-printed and sold from places like Michael's and Temu? Scrapbook type paper that is thin? I am definitely considering joining your club, and will be talking to my husband about it. Thanks again!
