Thanks for not editing out your mistakes , love your authenticity 🐝

[@PlantyHer]

Who also thinks Laura is the best of the best? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ we love your videos! Keep them coming!

[@soniacirocco2632]

The application of the brown stain made the statue look like it is bronze. Very pretty.

[@debstevenmacioce921]

I think the statue would look great near the gardens where the chicken coop is. So cute!

[@chamelor]

Not a great idea if there's a coup!😂

[@wendyme4835]

That’s exactly what I was thinking! I reckon she’d look absolutely darling in amongst those cottage-y looking beds along the pallet walkway near the chickens

[@choctaw5050]

Yes, near the chickens.

[@patricianelson5733]

Love how Russell photo bombs each video! I am always looking for him while watching Laura do her magic.

[@YAorNAmovies]

She came out great. New life! Thanks and I like the way you do things. Give it a try, doesn’t work, adjust, do something else. Love it

[@gardenbugdesigns]

I wasn’t sure if I was gonna like the end result, but she looks like she has been bronzed. She looks gorgeous.

[@polkadottedpolak]

Same here. I actually had never thought about staining concrete statues, but it looks great!

[@pansepot1490]

Angel Friend Too brown IMO but that has made me remember that I have a DIY book on making concrete look like rusty cast iron, aged copper with verdigris stains, old brass and other materials. That statue would be perfect for one of those finishes.

[@gardenbugdesigns]

Pat Pezzi what is the name of that book?

[@wendyme4835]

@@pansepot1490 I’d be interested in getting the name of that book if you still have it. Thanks 😊

[@samircasen8117]

Pro trick: you can watch movies at Kaldrostream. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.

[@risalangdon9883]

Ohhh, I love the way the statue turned out! Looks like she was always meant to be that color! With her having the little lamb etc. She would look good in the vegetable garden area. Or on your new property veg garden.

[@pambonesteel3775]

I love the way your statue came out and her new home in your garden. Listening to your fountain trickle while you worked was so soothing!

[@myracamilo7826]

Love, love, love, love the way your statute came out looking, she looks bronze which I love! I will definitely try it with some concrete bird bath I have and other pieces I have in my garden. I’ve been wanting to change their look because here in Ga you tend to get moss growing on brick, wood or concrete I’ve noticed since a year ago now that I moved here. Thank you

[@iartistdotme]

Russel Foot Fern! She looks really good, redone and retucked. I thought it was going to be not good, but she really looks great. Next move, maybe you can display more of the lamb but right now, she looks like she is admiring all the flowers. Good call with the stain and mixing of colors - reminds me of a bronze statute.

[@miriamgrutz2132]

Wow you are not afraid to try something new. That's awesome 👌 She turned out beautiful 🤗

[@Brandi657]

I love the bronzed look of the statue. Very pretty tucked in your garden!

[@bevduncan6476]

She turned out beautiful. Looks almost like a copper statue. Love it.

[@medinasod2013]

Wow stating her made such a huge difference you can see so much more detail and the spot is perfect and I love your terrarium

[@rhondachamberlain1535]

Love what you did to the statue. She's gorgeous! What a great improvement.

[@sallyhenry1716]

Whewwwww😱....2 minutes later AHHHHHHHOOOOOOOH LOL! WAS SCARED for a minute there but you did your thing and now it looks Really BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Aaron your statue lives on!!!!!YAY 😂🤣😄

[@diannerempel8262]

I love your statue in the end! It does look bronzed. I like that you used what you had and just went with what you liked!

[@jtferreira207]

I love how your statue turned out, oh & that terrarium turned out beautiful 💜 Tracey🌸

[@lauraowen8867]

Two fun projects! I love the Rabbits Foot Fern and the statue turned out amazing. And thanks for the visit with Russell 😊😻

[@msbauer1687]

We’ve all done it and your recovery was spectacular. You stuck the landing 😉♥️

[@murphy1384]

She's so precious. That really made her detaila come out.

[@pennysantana7809]

Everything looks beautiful, my daughter wanted a terrarium and she loved this one. I personally love the change in color for your concrete girl. 😍

[@MsValerieDev]

The bird nest you should use for a wreath with a cardinal.

[@erikmassey4590]

Oh wow it really looks great with the stain!

[@wind571evergreen]

The staining color is perfect for her! She's Beautiful now!! Seriously enjoyed the houseplants a lot and loving how you planted!! I need to write down all the names! First time I noticed Russell is a polydoctil, multiple extra toes. I've had several furbabies with them! 😊💚🌿🌻

[@lizeee7840]

I love the statue, the stain really brings out the beautiful details. I have to say I was holding my breath when the grey went on but the end result is beautiful!

[@maggiemulchahey4086]

I love the looks of the statue. She is beautiful. You have placed her perfectly.

[@summermoongarden]

I have recently gone house plant crazy decorating through the home. I’ve really been enjoying them. I love the look of terrariums-can’t have enough ferns!

[@LULC0759]

Yes she does looks bronzed....and I like where you placed her....she peeks out. Fun!

[@janetleeharrison]

Never thought about or even heard of anybody staining a concrete statue. Don't know why that is, but what a fantastic idea. I think your statue turned out looking almost like bronze - it really brought out the flowers on the dress and other details not seen before. I really like it!!!!!!

[@leslieheavingham8986]

The terrarium turned out cute! And your statue turned out good too. Always a fun video with you. ❤❤

[@itsmewende]

She turned out lovely, Aaron is a sweet man, such a Beautiful thoughtful gift, wish you could see the little goat at her feet tho. I've never been one for houseplants, but seeing the terrarium makes me wanta run out an get what I need to put one together.

[@nellson6951]

You did an excellent job on the statue. It looks like she is made of bronze or copper now! Love where you tucked her in your gorgeous garden.❤️

[@whttrails]

That gray was speaking no right from the start and glad you realized and switched to the brown.....looks awesome now, like an expensive bronze piece. Nice!

[@susanpeterson9947]

Beautiful terrarium! You worked magic with the moss and stones! Love the ‘new’ statue too!

[@leesaaugustine1444]

Love the terrarium & the plants!!!! The little statue turned beautiful, she is gorgeous! Yes, I have learned so much, what to do & what not to do, by watching your videos - Love them!! 🥰💚🌿🌱🌞📹🎬👍🙌💁‍♀️💚🌿

[@phyllisroark7907]

The statue turned out great, it almost looks like a bronze color now. I just love her. I think you might wish you would have kept her if you give her away. Just think what a gift one day for Benjamin when he's older. Along with the story. What fond memories that would be. Anyway, thanks for another great video!!

[@amyflatten9114]

I love the lemon button fern and the terrarium is so sweet!

[@pameladeville1422]

Thanks for the staining tip for the statue... I have a mermaid to redo next summer! Beautiful gardens as always!💜

[@nancykirk4021]

She turned out so pretty!

[@pammowry604]

Love the second color! So rich! Great job!

[@carolsuesamuelson7935]

Your finish on the lady looks good. Glad you blended the stains. Good job!

[@BRANDYSTOTLER]

The terrarium came out beautifully 🥰 And the statue transformation 😍

[@msremech]

She's beautiful, looks like bronze and the little terrarium is so sweet, perfect.

[@ExpeditionHomestead]

Love the ferns! Glad your summer has gone great so far. The statue looks great as well! Happy gardening 🌿🌸

[@dawndawn6946]

The statue came out beautifully-looks bronzed.🥰 You are so talented!

[@dabblingwithbonsai]

So beautiful arrangement for indoors

[@2travelbugs]

I love your suggestion of dry brushing green over the stain. I will try this on some large resin pots with a raised design to restore their beauty.

[@sawdustsammie8917]

Again...you nailed it! I love terrariums. The lady that babysat me when I was a kid had one of those big globe terrariums in her living room and I loved to sit and look at it. I was 4 then, now I’m 45.

[@julieellis6793]

That is so gorgeous the way you did that terrarium!

[@edarnold1647]

Wow, makes me want to re-look some things in my garden.

[@DixieGirl9876]

Love how they both turned out! I've been out re-doing garden art as well, and in the process of making a turtle from a metal hanging basket and chicken wire for the head and feet. I think I'll plant some pansies in it for fall. Between you and Amanda (Planterina) I just may have to make another terrarium. lol

[@jgwood10]

That is a beautiful terrarium. Love the fountain! Statuary brings a regal look to the garden. Have a great day. Russell enjoy your day, also.

[@kimberlycarey7647]

You’re always so cheerful. Lovely to watch. ♥️

[@katrinaklapproth8788]

Just a gorgeous statue. Before and after. Little plant garden looks lovely. Love ferns.

[@myjoysunshine]

Both are just perfect!

[@donnacarraway9182]

I don’t know if you ever read comments from the older videos but if Laura was a concrete statue, I think that she would look like this beautiful girl, and definitely in the middle of plants!💕

[@camicri4263]

Turned out really nice! Good job Laura!💜🌱💜

[@mariafolch8067]

Laura, I would have rested the statue on it's back & tested the paint at the bottom of the base, before going on with the staining. Also, I would place it where the entire statue is show case. It is a beautiful statue to be hidden away. @gardenanswer

[@pamketron]

She turned out gorgeous. Love that you made your own color. The gray was too flat and looked like paint. Now she’s perfect and in the perfect spot. Loved the houseplant info. 🤗☀️🦜💜

[@ricklittlefield4276]

I've never tried house plants before but you've inspired me to give it a try. I never thought you could stain concrete! She looks beautiful

[@yolybertrand7651]

AWESOME!!! GO GIRL,,,, YOU ARE SOOO AWESOME!!! LOVE YOU IDEAS!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US!!!😃😘

[@allysonh6410]

WOW the terrarium!!! And that statue turned out amazing!! I about died when I saw that gray and then BOOM you worked your magic 🙌😅😍

[@ONLYONEBEA]

absolutely love the peasant girl statue.

[@barbll000]

The pink Fittonia is gorgeous. Love the final look of the statute. Great video.

[@deannklopman8235]

She looks beautiful.

[@ambitchinbear9260]

I absolutely love your videos!! They're extremely helpful and very inspiring. Thank you and God bless you!

[@marthafigueroa4686]

It came out nice and it looks great where you put it.

[@MsPandora93]

Terrarium looks so pretty and your statue has come back to life... great job!

[@JujuBee77]

Thank you for talking about the ferns! I got the lemon one that's on its last leaf I moved it to the bathroom for more humidity 🤞🏼 that color of stain looks so much better!!! She looks beautiful!

[@sashaduncan1730]

She is beautiful and looks bronze. Great finish Laura!

[@loryowens3028]

Very nice! I have used wood stain on some textured concrete planters and it work awesome. Brings out the detail.

[@crickettjd]

Ohhh, I love her!!! She is perfect now!!!

[@karen4253]

SHE LOOKS AWESOME! glad you saved her! great job Laura :>)

[@kathyguenther5866]

Oh how addicting I ordered a terrarium before the video went to staining the statue. I am going to fill mine with succulents and fairies. Love the statue..... Aaron your sweet to buy here things she loves. Kisses to Benjamin and kitty's......

[@lighthouse739]

So glad to watch a new video!! Need to go buy some house plants 🌿. I recently watched a video from The White Cottage and she was wearing your Garden Answer T-SHIRT 👕. Enjoy watching you both!

[@celinatrujillo4732]

I love love your videos! So inspiring! Every morning I pour my cup of coffee and watch a few! Iv learned so much!! Thank you!

[@shannondavidson1886]

Love the look of the statue!

[@deannededemariehampton768]

SHE'S STUNNING!!!! great job Laura.

[@mariemorris3349]

Love the houseplants, the statue turned out well. I think she would look good by the chickens!

[@laurieanne9712]

That's where I was thinking, too!!

[@jackielynbyard9756]

I agree.

[@pepecocomax]

The terranium is so beautiful. The statue is just beautiful I hope that you keep it. Really enjoyed watching this video.

[@sunnyday4549]

The details stand out more. Great job x

[@peggylee5021]

Perfect color and location!

[@abiering]

I love the terrarium! Such pretty textures together!! The little girl looks like a bronze sculpture now. Love it!

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura! I love all of the plants you got. The terrarium turned out so pretty. I have a Dragons Blood, Rabbits Foot Fern, purple waffle plant, snow white waffle plant and a Fittonia Juanita. The Fittonia Frankie is gorgeous. I'll have to look for that one. All but the Rabbits Foot Fern like a lot of water.I like how the statue turned out, too. I do hope you keep her, especially since Aaron gave her to you. That was a very thoughtful gift. She's cute where she is, but I hope you decide to put her where you can see more of her, like others said, maybe by the chicken coop. Thank you for sharing!

[@lupaofpack]

That planting is gorgeous! I am totally inspired!

[@thecreativegardener176]

Yay a new video from garden answers ♥

[@barbarasanroman9484]

The terrarium turned out so pretty. 💚 You inspire me to take better care of my indoor plants. I dont have any statues in my garden but one day I will and these tips help. Thanks!!

[@celiag3157]

She looks great!!!💗

[@SAHamel_]

I love the plants you chose for the Terrarium, it's beautiful.

[@Donna_G]

I love how the little statue turned out. The houseplants look nice. I have one of those dragon tongue plants and so far, it is doing okay.

[@francineh.7825]

The statue turned out perfectly!!

[@marystewart5555]

I agree. Looks very nice.

[@billiehilton1900]

good save!! She looks beautiful!

[@cockatielnation5425]

Laura the word you're searching for is opaque. The statue turned out very nice. I love that we got to see Russell's paws!

[@MomDroogs]

Ms. Peasant girl is so pretty stained and yes, a perfect spot meant to be!!

[@niccoamorsiemprenajar6701]

Love how your piece came out🙌

[@kathyhitt8319]

this haul is at the perfect time!! i'm totally getting into houseplants for the first time and i need to learn as much from you as possible!

[@tracyjones1344]

She looks lovely

[@alisabanda1938]

Looks like a bronze sculpture. Very nice.
