    What a strange coincidence -- I stumbled across this video today, and I just bought this exact style desk at an auction and am also going to repaint it with chalk paint. Another part of the coincidence is that this video was posted on my birthday! :) You've given me tons of inspiration for redoing my desk and other furniture I have. Thank you!!

    It’s like watching Bob Ross, he has a nice scene painted, then suddenly puts in a big black line, and I’m like “oh no, he’s ruined it!” But then turns into into something more beautiful. Your work is stunning!

    I wasn't so sure how this was going to turn out at one point, but you pulled it all together so beautifully and your attention to the little details is what really makes this and many of your pieces pop! I I have used aubergine and gold before on a piece and the color combination is an amazing one. Great job, as always and a joy to watch your channel because I love how you are so upbeat and sunny. Also, I just love how you say "Big Mamma's Butter" - the cutest!

    I just painted a retro record cabinet with this color. It was my first true chalk paint piece. (Up till now I had only ever used DIY chalk paint that I made myself) I did copper accents on all metal parts. It’s so cute.

  • @jaxturner6896

    LOVE! You've got me so inspired! I've got a beautiful antique vanity and attached mirror and an old, I forget the proper name for it but its basically a record player within a wooden cabinet; its really beautiful. You've done some stunning work but this has gotta be the best, of not, top three. You go girl! You are so talented. Its really quite remarkable. I hope this takes you far in life because you deserve it.

    I can't wait until I am brave enough to try some (or all) of your ideas. I have so many pieces around here that are stuck in the 80's and no longer express how I feel today. I've got to bite the bullet and just go for it!

    I loves me some roll top desk or secretary desk.
    Ya gotta have at least 6 inches of leg so you can get a vacuum under.
    They are great clutter controllers.
    I don't know if one like that would look good in my house... But you did a beautiful job.
    I'm not a decorating expert but I think my home would go well with a lot of different styles.

    Ha ha, I am laughing so hard right now! Not are you but at my own self! That desk is so different and so elegant there really isn’t any words for it. The reason I am laughing is I wonder where your mind gone to create these masterpieces!!! I can just see if I tried to recreate it. You would see little square patches of each color!
    I just love you and what you do to furniture! Now I see why Blue hangs out with you. He too is wondering what you will do next!
    Your home must be so blessed with wonderful color. You know you do this for a living and if you keep keeping the pieces you create poor Carlos won’t have any any supper. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO. You make my life a little bit brighter everyday. I watch you several times a day!

  • @ambermoy8147
    @ambermoy8147 Před 4 lety +1

    When you are mixing the Aubergine and the Gold Digger, I see that you paint on the Aubergine first just to get coverage and then add the gold. Then it looks like you are using the Oval Medium? And are you stippling (pouncing) the colors together to mix them and to give it texture? If definitely doesn't look like you are brushing them together.

    • @KachaFurniture
      @KachaFurniture  Před 4 lety

      You can use any brush you want it won't make a big difference
