I thoroughly enjoy your makeovers, every step. But, just curious about your ‘farmhouse’ designs. That seems to be your constant interest. I was very happy to see the rolling pen with the red handles. Of all your projects in this video, only one with a touch of color other than the white with sandpaper de stressed. But I am always in awe at the finished project, something attractive and useful from an unattractive ‘find’. Thx for sharing!!

Do you use your fingers to take the paper off a decoupage piece? Or do you have a little bit of material damp material helping you? This is so I may do something similar thank you

Hi I love your channel and you do inspire me....I really would to add the graphics, but I only have I think its calld a regular printer.....So no laser like you use, so then I am guessing I can not do these unless I go buy a laster printer and mine I have is not that old and works great. Is my thinking about this correct? Thanks and again I love your channel...Take care, pat aka skooterbird

[@retroredo9850]

I love all the projects. But as much your methods which you always explain so well. And they dont include a ton of extra bought items which is not near to me anyway. We have one tiny thrift store and a hardware store. We are not so farmhouse as urban ranch in our area. Also hard to dertermine products.I could with sewing as people remarked on my jean messenger bags and clothing like my sweatshirt jackets. But we are done with inkjet printers after a big broken mess and getting a color laser printer. So i will sign up to your email list. Cant wait to try your mode podge label idea.
