[@sarahrenfrow9795]

Rachel, I sure wish you would have shown us the setting up of the new booth! Will you be giving us a tour, maybe? Love all your projects for today. I guess my favorite was the little footstool. Thanks for sharing. Rest up!

I love the galvanized wallpocket, the globe ( I would have painted the base pink) and the large stool. You were one busy lady so 5 flips is great!! TFS.😊❤👍

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you!! I thought about pink, but I am really trying to use up my Cake Batter, lol. It is an old can and starting to rust a bit! And thankfully there is some yellow in those napkins, so I went with it. :)

I didn’t hear what the name of that beautiful floral deco paper. That foot stool turned out gorgeous! That was my favorite.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

I completely forgot to say it during the video, darn it! :) It's a JRV paper called La Mamie Floral. I'm glad you loved the footstool!! Thanks for watching!! :)

Love the stool and galvanized bucket. I don’t know how you get all that work done in one weekend.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you! And sometimes I wonder myself, lol! :)

[@carolyncarter980]

Hi, Rachel! Could you tell me what paper you used on the still with the stars? That piece came out so lovely!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

It is a JRV paper called La Mamie Floral. :)

[@TheThrillofTheThrift]

Very nice! Loved the last stool. Do you find that sealing with wax leaves a sticky feeling?

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you! And as far as the DIY wax, it really depends on the piece, the effect, the cure time, the amount of wax used and the method with which it was applied. If it is applied thick and not wiped completely off, then yes - it can feel a little tacky. However, the wax will cure and harden (cure time is around 30 days) so even pieces that feel a bit tacky when they are first completed should cure to a nice smooth finish. And generally after even only a couple of days they should feel "dry" and not sticky. The caveat being that there wasn't an over abundance of wax applied too thickly and not wiped back properly. :) I hope that makes sense! :)

[@rosiemorales7783]

Which one do you recommend for sealing? Liquid patina or big top. I don’t care for shiny finish. Thank you 🌻🌻🌻🦋🦋🦋

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Honestly I have never used liquid patina just as a sealer. I have always used it over decoupage paper, so it is hard to tell what the sheen is. Big Top is a great sealer, but it definitely has a bit of a sheen to it. However - you can go over Big Top with wax to tone down the gloss - I just realize that isn't always a practical solution....
