Did I misunderstand or was your nightstand or whatever you used was it from IKEA? I went on their line and could not find it anywhere. I loved your videos. I think it was great for beginners or even people that have dabbled in this a little bit. Don’t listen to all the naysayers people can be so rude. Have a blessed day.

@WhatWeKnow-t1x 6 months ago

Yes, thank you so much for all the details!! fantastic video! You do a great job.

Too long and too many steps. I think this process is overcomplicated :(

@kimberlythompson1835 1 year ago

You're basically dry brushing the glaze on instead of using the techniques that most artists use to create a faux pottering barn finish. This method could resonate with some people who struggle with other methods. But it's extremely long and detailed. Btw, cardboard can be used to remove excess glaze from your brush. You might like that better.

Pleeeease watch the Black Sheep House and get some tips. You are working very hard, this video is WAY TOO LONG, and the piece doesn't look that great tbh. You are doing this technique all wrong in my opinion.

@jodimcintyre9830 1 year ago

You worked hard and I certainly see that but I don't like the look at all.

@erinr8994 1 year ago

I appreciated the video and the attention to detail. Also you look like Christy Brinkley!!!

I'm trying to turn pvc quarter round into light oak lol. I completely forgot about Valspar glaze thanks!

@05dstill 1 year ago

I loved that it was longer bc I could fast forward or watch in detail. It was shocking that some people made unneeded comments but I am betting it's because you're so pretty and they were envious. A story as old as time...😅

I’m sure your very smart but we are not children. Just state the mixtures then paint.
Too long video and too much talking. Most of us don’t have time for this.
The chest turned out beautiful!
You told us to stand up?

This was a waste of time! You sound like you're talking to romber room. I can get a pottery barn look better than that and faster.

@marylouarens7588 1 year ago

I appreciated all the detail. Looks fantastic!! You are a very good instructor!

@brandycolwell747 1 year ago

You massively over complicated this for absolutely no reason. To boot, the finish isn’t good, at all. There are far better, and easier methods that look much better.
