Love watching you do the smalls!! Please keep doing them.

[@elegantupgrades]

I’m so glad, Linda! I’ll keep ‘em coming as long as they are selling!

[@memecats5698]

Love the half wall sconce, that one changed so much for the better. 👍🏻👍🏻❤️

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you, I think so too!

[@carlaorjohn]

Thank you for allowing us into your thought processes as you move through and reinvent these pieces. Adore them and you!

[@elegantupgrades]

Oh thank you, Carla 🥰 You are such a joy.

[@VintageAndPainted]

This was both relaxing and inspiring. I have a bunch of smalls I have been collecting I really need to paint. Thanks for sharing Taryn

[@elegantupgrades]

They are so oddly satisfying to do! I really wasn’t expecting to enjoy them so much. You’ll have to do a video on yours, too! Mine have done surprisingly well.

[@melonmahfood2439]

You are just adorable, I love your energy! Really great pieces.

[@elegantupgrades]

Ha! You’re too kind! Thank you very much 🥰

[@lorrainewhitlock5377]

You are an amazing young woman and you have an eye for art 🎨🖌️

[@elegantupgrades]

You’re so kind, Lorraine! Thank you!

[@lisachiboroski9930]

Well I LOVE that rooster! Great job. Once again thank you for sharing

[@elegantupgrades]

I’m glad you liked him, Lisa! I had been wanting to paint him since I got him.

[@pattyseel1892]

We love upcyclng and thriftflips!

[@elegantupgrades]

That makes me so happy, Patty!

[@kimchamberlain1108]

These all turned out gorgeous. I love watching your videos 💜💜

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you so much, Kim! I’m just glad you’re enjoying the smalls as well.

[@PaigeNicoleKomar]

This is the first time I've ever watched you and I found myself mesmerized! I was just in a trance staring at the TV AND watching your amazing talent! Can't wait to find more of your videos as I'm sure that I won't be disappointed! I'll be sharing this video with a friend as well and subscribing for sure 😃

[@elegantupgrades]

Wow, Paige! Thank you so very much! Welcome here, so happy to have you.

[@laurasrn5067]

That was fun to watch again. You'll definitely have to keep us updated if all that stuff sells since you made them over. I hope you had a wonderful Easter!! Mine was pretty low-key, which was nice since I'm always on the go for work

[@elegantupgrades]

I’m glad you got to have a restful holiday, Laura! Sometimes those are so much better than all the running around that happens so often.

[@OwlingDogDesign]

Excellent! I love these smalls, they're so much fun. Rolling pins - I mean, who DOESN'T love rolling pins??? The cutting board you don't like; can you dress it up with a beautiful ribbon or fancy hang tag? That might take it over the top. They're all beautiful. Thanks for the video, congrats on >14k (I'm excited that I'm almost 600 LOLOL). xo

[@elegantupgrades]

I’m legitimately excited about every single subscriber. I remember hitting 100 and thinking- really? People are actually watching me? And then 500. And then 1,000 - I almost lost my mind! It’s incredible that we can be helpful in any way so I absolutely know your excitement about 600. 600 is a big deal. And before you know it, it’s the 1,000 and on and on. We really have the most wonderful community.

[@OwlingDogDesign]

@@elegantupgrades Thank you, Taryn. You are definitely the sweetest artist out there. 🥰

[@deborahmatatall]

This was lovely, Taryn. It’s a week later and I have a terrible cold and this was the perfect thing for me this evening. I love everything you did. The stamps are so very ethereal and magical and it’s not what I have ever seen on rolling pins and bread boards. They’re anti-farmhouse and beautiful and I love them. I love all the things you did. It’s your process that you share which makes your channel such a joy to watch. I’m glad others are finding their way to you.🌸

[@elegantupgrades]

Aw man! Sorry to hear about your cold, Deborah! Lucas was down for the count last week and is just getting rid of his cough. Whatever is going around right now is no fun. I’m glad you liked the rolling pins and bread boards! I think they are my new favorite things to stamp.

[@debraneria4242]

I'm Loving these Smalls. .how fun...I Love the Chicken and that Wall urn,...and the Cutting boards are so lovely. ..I've gotta do some smalls. You're Awesome honey and Lucas is growing Soo fast..stay blessed 🥰👍❣️

[@elegantupgrades]

They are really surprising me with how fun they are to paint- I had no idea. I definitely recommend trying them out! And I know! That kid won’t stop growing! He just turned 5 and I’m a little sad inside 😂

[@debraneria4242]

@@elegantupgrades he's so handsome ..my daughter in law has been having hard time with my granddaughter turning 6 too 😂❤️

[@kellihull7600]

I love watching furniture but smalls have my ❤ (and ability level 😅) these all turned out GORGEOUS!!!! Love the random stamping!!!

[@elegantupgrades]

Oh I’m so glad, Kelli! They have really been surprising me with how much fun they are to do. Almost like practicing new colors or techniques for future furniture.

[@barbarajohnston5400]

I like the rooster 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@elegantupgrades]

I wanted him painted so bad! I hoped he would t sell just so I could when I got time.

[@terriallen2537]

Great job, loved the color you mixed. 😊

[@elegantupgrades]

Thanks, Terri!

[@brendaprice4664]

Love the results! I especially love Mr Big Bird’s makeover! TeeHee! B~}

[@elegantupgrades]

Ha! Yes, he needed it so bad 🐓

[@robincivis9501]

I've heard smalls are the bread and butter of a booth owner...is that true for your sales as well? Love your transformations! Well done!!

[@elegantupgrades]

I wouldn’t have thought so until I’ve been trying out markets this season. But I would have to agree. It’s been an interesting discovery.

[@angelsmith4467]

Everything looks so pretty, 😊

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you, Angel!

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

Great transformations!

[@elegantupgrades]

Thanks, Polly!

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

New subscriber. Glad I found your channel😊

[@elegantupgrades]

Oh, welcome!!! So happy to have you. Also- I love your name! So cute.

[@kimberly5465]

Beautiful items!

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you!

[@julianneboys4062]

Happy Easter 🐣

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you, Julianne!

[@calsmom27]

If you like working with natural wood items, you should try Better With Age by Amy Howard. Game changer.

[@elegantupgrades]

I’ll have to look into it, thanks for the suggestion.

[@kimberlydrake8654]

Hi Taryn….Happy Easter to you too! Spring is time for growth and new beginnings and seems you have both going on🌼🌷I too enjoy your take on smalls….they should definitely sell….feel like I missed something as to where you are showing your smalls….are you doing markets? oh and if you didn’t like white wax on cutting board couldn’t you go over with dark wax? Just curious…btw you look beautiful! As always thank you for sharing….congrats on 14,000 i can remember when many KZbinrs were where you are now and somewhere down the road it will just explode….I just know it🌟😊kim

[@elegantupgrades]

I hope you had a marvelous Easter, Kim! Yes, I’m trying out markets right now. They are new and interesting, but also a bit stressful 😅. And if I used clear wax first to buff off the white, I could maybe use dark over it. But if I just went in with dark it would have been more like a milk chocolate 😂 Thank you so very much!!!

[@deboracontos834]

Hi Taryn, I just found your channel and subscribed. I like the stamps you used on the rolling pins and bread boards. Where did you get the floral stamps? Great video, now I need to go and watch previous ones!

[@elegantupgrades]

Welcome, Debora! Thanks for sticking around! They are the IOD Rose Toile Decor Stamps. Just Google them and you can find a supplier.

[@jmh1943]

Hi - Everything turned out wonderfully! Would you please share or link the stamps you used on the first board.. I especially love the way that one looks. (Angel/wreath/Christmas stamp(s)) Thanks

[@elegantupgrades]

They are the IOD Merry And Bright Christmas stamps. You’ll have to search them on Google as they are discontinued. But I just got those ones right before Christmas so you just have to find a supplier that still has one laying around. Some people have upcharged them a TON, so just be careful of that.

[@jmh1943]

Thank you so much!
