[@brendatomlinson]

Love the milk paint candle holders but honestly believe you UNDER-priced them! It took a lot of steps to get to that final look. You’re the best Jules!

[@nicolecapote1724]

OBSESSED with the "dalmatian" candlesticks!

[@beverlylones9552]

The candle sticks are absolutely beautiful! I love the look of the dark stained ones! All of your candlesticks were gorgeous!💕😊🌼🌸🌻

[@44alwaysrightjlp]

Love it all !! I am 75 and having a hard time trying all these things out, I want to do it all but don't have the "puff" to do it some times. Love your channel.

[@theresahaycook1577]

I love, love and love the chippy painted spindles!!!

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

Great ideas. Love how you showed things to use without using power tools.

[@debigates3033]

Love that you used milk paint. I keep hearing about it, but you showed how to do it and that was so satisfying and beautiful!

[@monicamorris2022]

I love the chippy look on the candle sticks. 🥰🌸🌺

[@tammywoods9952]

Love the antiquing wax on the tops of the candlesticks. The two tone look is perfect ❤️❤️❤️

[@Nana1959.]

Julie you got a great score with those bed posts ! I’m always checking our local thrift when they throw furniture out. Awesome candle sticks , thank you! I LOVE using bed posts etc to create candles! Keep these creative diys coming !

[@zullo3529]

I love the milk paint candlesticks. Especially the really tall one. Thanks Julie.

[@juliesigmund3836]

Your candle sticks turned out great and I love the chippy crackle effect.

[@veliagarofalo3802]

Julie, the candle sticks turned out amazing! Love them! Thank you for all the decoratio ideas! Love watching your channel.

[@lorikiser8362]

I love the chippy paint! What a great idea to use bed posts!

[@Diane56ful]

I think I would like them better with less paint chipped off but overall they are amazing! I would have never thought a bed frame could be turned into a candlestick. Your little girl is precious!❤️

[@marlahanks7278]

I LOVE chippy, so I could have had it even MORE chippy!! I loved them :)

[@sleeplessimaginatio1]

I love the candlesticks/pedestals - they look really good, Julie! Thanks for sharing your process.

[@brendaaller4069]

My weekend is now complete! Another video from Julie! I got my paint sprayer from Harbor Freight and I have been spraying the heck out of my baskets. My daughter bought me the songbird mounds for Mother’s Day and I have had so much fun playing with them! Can’t wait for the crockery stamps to come back in stock-those are my favorite! Thanks for all you do Julie! Hope you lip is healing!

[@ladonnacaperton5323]

Love the milk paint! Candle sticks are awesome

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

thank you!

[@lisadorries665]

I wished we lived near each other so I could be your helper. Your work inspires my creativity, and I am so thankful for that.

[@pamelacook7933]

Loved all of the projects, especially the chippy paint.

[@sharonjansky3877]

I bought milk paint several months ago but never used it. I love how your candles turned out. But I think I still like chalk paint better. The milk paint appears to be thinner. At any rate you always make any thing you work with look fabulous! (I watch Jamie Ray too but prefer your channel. You are the best!!!)

[@cindypatterson4752]

I absolutely love the chunky candle sticks you did an Amazing Job!!!!!! I have two big spindles out underneath my carport you definitely got my mind a running!!!! Have a blessed and beautiful day sweetie ♥️

[@janetdavis5619]

I thought the chippyness was perfect, it looks so natural, like they had been the elements a long time, love them!!!

[@evelynmccagg9579]

I wish you shipped,I'd buy those chunky ones now!! Love them, you did great with the milk paint!! Yep I watch Jami & Zeb too..

[@karawoods2588]

I agree!! 😍

[@nancycavins402]

Hi Julie. Luv the candlesticks! And I personally LUVED the chippiness! Gave them great age. Good job!

[@mylittlecoloradocottage]

Love love the candle sticks made from furniture spindles. Great job.

[@kimaoyama9594]

Julie, you're killing it! Your videos and inspiration are so awesome! Thanks so much for your great contribution to the YT DIY/Makers community!

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

that's sweet, you are very welcome!

[@leamonroe-odette1997]

The milk paint is a fun new experiment. I'm with you in that I prefer the less chippy, but what a great way to get the cool effect!

[@retadearing4602]

I love all of them they look beautiful

[@bethshadoan419]

You did an awesome job! Those are gorgeous! You are great with a saw and have great vision for things that others would not see.

[@kimhowell1537]

Julie, those are so beautiful! I liked your method. I’ll definitely be watching out for some old spindles👍🏻! As always, much love and many blessings to you and your family!✝️♥️

[@mtdsmom]

You totally make me want to go and make so many things!!!! Love it all!!! I also love how you just jump in and are not afraid to make a mistake trying something different. It’s very refreshing to see someone just try something different and go with the flow however it turns out.

[@carolrittenhouse5010]

❤❤❤❤

[@jeannineharris4449]

I love sweet pickins milk paint! Love the candle sticks!!!

[@suelessig7040]

I love the way those turned out. I never would have thought to turn bed posts into candle sticks.

[@ElizabethCastillo-bb1ul]

Wow everything is absolutely beautiful. You are so creative. Can’t wait to see more projects. 👏🌿🦋🌿👏

[@lolitabonita08]

tip to chip the milk paint use a heat gun and dry the milk paint with it...that works...

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

yes, that worked well

[@dorothylehman4164]

Julie I'm so glad I watched you with this tutorial with these candlesticks with the coffee pot on I have three four five two little miniature coffee pots with the glass perkier on the top I'm going to do that with the flowers with maybe putting some Greenery in one and doing one like that cuz I have some post too I'm so glad to watch you today because I never thought about putting them on a post I've been making lamps out of them and they've not been selling really good I've been giving them to people that like them anyway keep up the good works I love watching you

[@sheiladrain2088]

cleaner. The candlesticks...so creative.

[@micheledryden1057]

I love how they all turned out, Julie!! Great job!

[@mommabearlisa4510]

I literally THOROUGHLY enjoy watching you make stuff and ESPECIALLY the way you explain what you're doing AND how easy you make it! I used to watch Jamie Ray a few years ago and I always loved the way she would talk about how she just kinda "slaps the paint on" the projects she's workin on! Lol. Yall don't try to make it seem all "technical" or whatever! I'm seriously #ADHD so if something has more than 2 or 3 steps to achieve a certain look, that look just ain't gonna be for me! Lol. {I have no patience for all that!} plus, I like the way you talk. Hehe I live in TEXAS and people are always commenting on the way I talk {which I feel like I just sound like everyone else, UNTIL someone repeats something I just said.} Lol. Anyhoozie, thanx for sharing! Hope you have a super sparkly day sweetie! XO from TEXAS! 🤠

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

same, i need it to be easy! i don't even have the patience to go look at directions online, im just going to wing it, lol

[@kippydavis5928]

Welcome to Hernando!!! I am Across the River a few miles and so excited you are this close!!!! I told my husband my new Best friend is close!!! Lol.

[@tracymcreations]

Loved everything ❤. I really like the super chippy paint look

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Yay! Thank you!

[@cynthiaellaprochnow2293]

Another fun video! Would love to find a chunky bedframe or table legs on my picking adventures so I could make a few. The way you styled them was awesome!

[@heritagehousewife]

Love them Julie! Another great video! You are gaining more awesome subscribers! Keep up the great work and inspiration! Hugs for a hard working mama! You are loved!

[@sherrytice1121]

I just love it! You have great ideas and great spirit. You are an encouraging person who makes me feel excited and that I can do it.

[@nelliecampbell9541]

I loved what you created!! Been working in mine for 3 weeks. Then here you go showing a DIY video.lol

[@bonnierobbins3572]

Girl! When you said "pump the brakes" I started laughing 🤣🤣Been a while since I heard that. Such a cajun thing to say and I love it and love your bubbly personality!! Keep on keeping on girl 😀

[@angelahorton1995]

Me too! I had to back up the video and show my hubby. He said he does that for hats (truth) I just love your personality Julie

[@ellengill514]

The 80's were full of Milk Paint. I use to buy it in little plastic milk cans, they were powder, and came in all sorts of colors. I use Milk paint already mixed and in gallon from General Finishes. I buy from Amazon. I highly recommend. A way prettier finish than Chalk Paint. Great Job Julie.

[@gloryb5513]

Haha "ya'll guys". At my sisters wedding, our family from LA came up to Washington and the grooms family came from New Jersey. The LA crowd said "ya'll"; us Washingtonians say "you guys"...and the New Jersey crowd said "youse" (the plural of you.) So we all started saying "ya'llguyyouse"! I love your "ya'llguys" .... and of course your work!

[@TimeHonoredTreasures]

You go girl! Most of my bonobos turn out better than my original plan so let’s all experiment!

[@sarahernandez8766]

‼️❤️ I love to watch you videos, your Entusiáciastic aptitude is contagious, I feel like I can do everything now that you showed how is done, thank you, I watch everyone of your videos, and I’ll keep waiting for the next ones

[@shelleymarsh6563]

Oh Julie, you made my day...lol and my heart is melting a little with all the spindles in the background~

[@tracykehoe8292]

I loved how you did the chipping. Looked great.

[@paytondelong6185]

Love all the candle sticks. I always on the lookout for spindles. Don’t find to often!

[@meghanstufflebean4139]

I love the last set especially! The dark wood coming through and the dark stain rounds on top! Wow!

[@judyluchies2492]

Love the milk paint

[@lyndawise678]

coffee pot is cool, I love the candle sticks left unpainted, Yes the chippy goodness is great and the tall ones ---whoop whoop great. !!!

[@lolitabonita08]

easy way to fill the holes is with wood sticks road like the ones we use in closets to hang clothing but thinner...glue, stick the road, let dry and then cut...voila...easy.

[@jcrefasi1]

@ Lolitabonita You can also use dowel rods, old wooden broom handles, and Dollar Tree toilet plunger handles depending on the diameter of the hole.

[@mssarahc4085]

They look awesome Julie ,from Louisville Kentucky 👍

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

thank you!

[@SweetPickins]

They turned out amazing! Sweet Pickins Milk Paint is such a fun paint to use! It all depends on the surface your painting on what type of effect your going to get. And yes...1st coat always looks scary!! 🙂🙂

[@cherylsplaylists]

They all look great. Personally I prefer the chalk paint and distressed look to the chippy milk paint, but they are lovely. I’ll have to look for old beds.

[@feliciapersfull8658]

Me, too!

[@suthrngirlified]

As usual you nailed it! Great job! I can’t wait until I can do all these great projects you show us. 😊

[@robinpappas8943]

I love them. I have been nervous about trying the milk paint. But think I will go ahead and try. Thanks for sharing.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

i was nervous too but you just use it like normal paint!

[@kathleenmay6711]

Love the milk paint and all of the yummy chipping!❤️

[@jenniferwilliams7086]

I just love all of these .. you have inspired me to do something out of my comfort zone here. So thank you for this.. !!

[@annayres9959]

I love all the ones with the milk paint, cool

[@sondragrandy]

Sweet Pickens is my fave! I love it.

[@rachaelrutherford2543]

Oh...I love these 💗💗💗 They're beautiful.

[@bevsprenkle7802]

luv your chippy candle sticks, girl!

[@dawnmarieheaton0614]

Thanks Julie, hope to do what you do someday soon with a retail space. I appreciate all the step by step videos you are teaching me a lot! God bless!!!

[@SuzesCarnivoreLifeAfterBypass]

I was really loving the first set that you just stained with the antiquing wax but the last chippy set stole my heart. Gorgeous! That Sweet Pickens is very popular right now. I'm definitely going to have to try it. 💖💜💖

[@salvagedcountrycharm-alici3216]

I'm obsessed with milk paint and chippy paint! I would only use milk paint for everything I paint... if I could afford to. Lol

[@pamelahinatsu7195]

I've never used milk paint. But ut i think I will try it. I like the crackle and chippyness. My poor husband...we are so different in our tastes. I love distressed stuff but he is chrome and glass. Makes life interesting!

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

you going to have to do some creative decorating

[@avelinasanchezbythe851]

I love the candlesticks beautiful you did an amazing job thank you

"Illuminate your space with elegance without burning a hole in your pocket! Our candlesticks offer the same refined beauty as high-end options at a fraction of the cost. Light up your life affordably!"

[@monicakendrick6838]

Great video, I just did my curbside pickup during city cleanup day. I won't take without asking the person first and when I did it turned out to be an old friend of mine I'd lost touch with, so double whammy, I got back in contact with her and scored some really great hardwood chairs and dining table base. Probably would have gotten the top too had they not been so big and heavy. The table bases are monstrously huge. I'm sure I gave her neighbors a good laugh trying to fit what I could into my expedition. Using the chair spindles now for a quilt ladder.

[@monicakendrick6838]

You inspire me and I love to use ideas you have troubleshooter for me ahead of time. Lol

[@lisastegall944]

Luved everything. Have a great day. 🌻🌻🌻

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thank you! 🤗

[@brendahorton4907]

Julie you are so lucky, wish I could run across some of those! Awesome job with some beautiful candlesticks.

[@lisaw6331]

I rented a spot in my local flea market...nervous but excited!!! You have inspired me!!! Thank-You!!

[@cindypollock5489]

Love the look of the milk paint onto the dark wood and chippy gloriously beautiful Hope your feeling better Julie get some much needed rest Love from Utah

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thanks so much 😊

[@catherineaussie7121]

Milk paint is great to use. It does what it wants but you can add bond if you don't want the chipping. Use warm water to mix your paint it blends better x

[@mariannworley9538]

I love the chippiness of milk paint. I've never used milk paint but now I'm encouraged to try it.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

it was really easy to use!

[@lydiaromero6964]

You are amazing!! I like the milk paint on those candlesticks!!

[@nancysnell5295]

Very interesting technique. I love it.

[@Janelstpe]

Love the idea of the HL wound rounds for the tops! Not a huge fan of the chippy look, but like so many other styles it may grow on me. Yours of course are beautiful!

[@jenniferkostovick2009]

So happy you tried the milk paint. I've been wanting to get some, but didnt know if it was worth it. Awesome!

[@michaelchastain4518]

You are so inspiring, because of you I just spent 300.00 on products from IOD, stamps transfers dry clay and an apron I’m so excited to use my new products I’ve been saving for awhile now to buy everything you use!

[@leobardochavez7190]

Cool candle sticks

[@JustMeValerie6]

Fabulous! I love all of your ideas. I am excited for you and your success! May it continue for years and thank you for sharing so we can possibly share in a bit of your success. ❤️ God bless!

[@sherylsantoro]

You did a terrific job on transforming those pieces of wood into candlesticks! I really enjoyed watching the process of the milk paint and chipping. Thanks so much!!!!

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tonyarichardson3770]

Julie you are the BEST!

[@shelleyhays1556]

Wow Julie! Again you do not disappoint. Love them all! Love that you used Hobby Lobby items too. It is ok to use some things already made to expedite a project. Love the versatility of it!! Well done👏

[@justjen3216]

I love the waverly wax concoction that u showed us how ro use. I see other folks on youtube that are using ur idea as well. It really makes for the most natural woodstain look. Ive been doing it myself as well. For a while I couldnt find waverly but folk art deco antiquing wax works very well in a pinch if ya cant find waverly. You and jami ray vintage are my fav two gals on here. I just love ur work. Ur both amazing

[@kimruic3698]

I love these! Can't wait to try this. Thanks for all your inspiration Julie, I'm obsessed! ❤️

[@gracegrasso9376]

The wood is the best love the candle stand and with that old coffee pot on it. Keep this going .

[@HelloHandbags97305]

I love the chippiness! I’d love to see you make more items with milk paint.

[@suzannedeaton48]
