One of the many reasons I love your channel is hearing you talk about your process (using mineral spirits with the dark wax) while watching you work. You are both a great teacher and a talented artist. ❤

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

That is so kind of you to say, thank you!! :)

[@maryheckler6766]

Your shoppers are so lucky to get quality products from your store. All of your DIY's are always fantastic, Rachel!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Awe, thank you so much!! :)

Hi Rachel! The first project turned out so good! I think they would look good in a garden bed!! The bird house also turned out beautiful!! That table is my favorite , absolutely stunning🎉🎉🎉 Jeanne Baton Rouge 19:13

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

@@user-mq1ly9xq7c I'm really glad you liked them! Thank you so much!

[@tmonaghan9]

I love all your projects today. The resin plaques were absolutely beautiful. The detail on the plaques were the best I have seen. I really enjoy your videos and all your beautiful work.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

I am so glad you liked them. Thank you very much!! :)

[@dianehatmaker415]

Who knew those black flowers would look so good on that birdhouse!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Right? :) And I am thinking they will age better outside than a colored transfer (maybe?). Thank you!!

[@bobbieholtzclaw5146]

I love everyone of the projects. The birdhouse is my favorite.

Thank you so much!!

Hi Rachel,know it's been a tuff busy week for you. Then the small table just had to be difficult. Thank you for getting these projects done to show to all of us. Good job on all of them, your such a Trooper.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you! :)

[@kellihull7600]

I am always amazed when people get transfers to stick on unsealed paint, I NEVER can!!!!! The projects are adorable and you give big attention to little things which makes them perfect!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you so much! I think sometimes I create my own problems haha. I am pretty sure sanding my pieces doesn't always "help". :) And I honestly think some of it has to do with the individual color of paint and the pigments they use in them. Just a theory, though!! :)

[@brandyhuckabee1382]

These are all so beautiful. But that table is precious!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you so much!!

[@caroltanzi29]

Rachel: everyone of your projects look great. You are certainly adapted at using your paints, waxes and tools. I look forward to seeing your open house that is coming up next. If I lived up there in Spokane, I would regularly visit your shop and nursery. Very uplifting and fresh looking. Carol from California

[@nancyevans5502]

I'm with you Carol, if I lived within driving distance of Rachel shop. I to would be there all the time. Good thing I own a SUV for those trips lol😊.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@janrychel4503]

This round table is absolutely gorgeous! I have found that if my transfers don’t stick onto my project, I take either my hair dryer or heat gun and warm the transfer while it’s on my piece and that works really well. Obviously, I’m careful not to melt the plastic sheet, but the heat helps to release the design.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Great tip - thank you so much!!

[@patchord2460]

As usual everything is beautiful. I love the little table. Thank you for sharing all your talent. Yes the temps are cool!!! Hugs.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you so much!

[@user-mg2wx4uu1i]

Before you finished the plaques I thought this will be my favorite tonight! The waxes made the colors so rich and beautiful. When you were half way through the birdhouse project, I thought maybe this is my favorite! It really is beautiful too. You do such amazing work that it is always hard to choose a favorite.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Well I'm so glad you liked them!! :) Thank you!

Rachel, love that bird house! Sorry about the loss of the transfer on the table (they’re so expensive-I don’t like losing one) but, in the end, the table was gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your lovely projects and have a good weekend!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you so much - I was really happy with how the bird house turned out! :) It is a bummer to lose a transfer . . . but I am glad I finally got the little table to cooperate, haha!

I always enjoy your videos. These projects came out great. All the work you put into that little table paid off! So darling.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you so much!

[@LCLW63]

All the projects were lovely. I know you & many other creators/artists don't seal before you add the transfer, but I'm glad you shared this process as this might be the reason that particular transfer didn't adhere...who knows but it's good to know & show so others can learn & decide for themselves if they want to take that extra step & seal the paint before applying the transfer. For me I'd probably seal it cause those transfers are not cheap & I'd hate to loose one just because I was impatient (which I TOTALLY am LOL). Hope your spring sale goes well this weekend for you

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you so much!!

Love these DIYs. The table turned out gorgeous. I'm totally in love with the birdhouse. Those 1st pieces are stunning. I'm in garden mode and want to update some stepping stones. I think I can do something like you did on the 1st set to beautify my garden stones. I will definitely be sealing them. Love your channel! You give me inspiration to update my stuff.

Loved the little birdhouse & plant stand table. I was hoping for a pink medallion. I like that you showed there was a Plan B for when things mess up. TFS. 😊❤

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you!! :)

[@shannabauer]

Rachel, that little table that gave you fits was my hands down favorite. Sorry it gave you fits but loved the transfers on the 2nd go around. Each of your projects were just incredible. The medallions looked so good with their new paint and aging and the birdhouse was just so stinking cute! If I were a bird, I would be proud to live there. Hope your Sat nursery opening goes great for you. I can't imagine that it wouldn't given your talents. Seeing the time you uploaded this video, did you get any sleep last night? Have an awesome weekend my friend and will see you on Tue.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

I can't believe how behind I've gotten on my responses, lol!! That little table was a bit of a pain for sure, but it sold almost immediately, lol!! Thank you so much!!

@@theeclecticcottagespokane Don't worry about responding to me all the time. I understand that there are many more subscribers to your wonderful channel than previously.

Thank you!! :) And I really don't like it when I have transfer trouble, but it does happen occasionally - such a bummer when it does!!

[@Crawfordrusticcreations]

Oh, I'm so new. I have that same pedestal table and it's covered in Citristrip right now looking a hot mess. I wish I had just painted over it 😅 #still learning

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Lol! That is the beautiful thing about the DIY paint - it is made to stick to just about anything without any prep work. :) At least you'll know for next time!

[@joanvolkman7326]

I also have a little round 3-legged table, and I had trouble trying to decoupage paper on it. After I decoupaged the paper down, and set it aside to dry, when I came back to it, the paper was all bubbled up. I was really frustrated.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

That is frustrating! I wish things could always go the way I think they should in my head, but somehow that rarely seems to be the case, lol!!

I’m going to try the black transfers outside. Think they will look time worn and faded as opposed to the colour transfers that just bleach out and look weird when used outside. Even when top coated.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

That was my thought exactly! :)

[@brennadoyle879]

#replay

[@jackiescraftshack3157]

I wonder if it’s bc the table was so slick to start with?

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Honestly I wonder that, too. I had the same issue with a table just like it last year that I had painted with Aviary, and usually I don't have so much trouble applying the transfers to unsealed paint . . .

[@leahrodrick2228]

Those resin plaques are beautiful. I’m wondering what brand of dark wax and light wax you use and if I come to Spokane, can I purchase your products in your store? Thank you.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]
