OMG!!! That's hilarious "itchy weiner" You could take that in so many directions LOL. I hope she's better now.
I want to paint like you do when I grow up. I'm 60 yrs old now....wondering when growing up will occur! Gorgeous!
I am digging this. I appreciate the "how to fix a problem" tutorial. I have kicked myself so often over mistakes.
Beautiful! Thanks for showing the very basics instead of jumping straight to technique. Very helpful.

Wow. How you worked those decals over the drawers and edges.....just wow. It looks a zillion times better than the original finish. Even without the transfers it would look grand. I tend to like the lettered transfers more than the flowers. Adding just a bit of floral to the lettered transfers is what I would have asked you for, but that is the owner's decision. Nice job!

Stunning! You are a kindred spirit. As an artist who now suffers from arthritis (steady, pain free hands are a thing of the past for me) having the occasional ability to be creative with furniture and crafts, just as an outlet, has been a requirement for me. I have wanted to use transfers for a while and have a tattered looking bureau I have kept aside for a long time with that in mind (a future statement piece). You just reignited that idea in me via this. Thank you! Some people just view furniture as functional whilst others see them as potential artworks. Your channel is truly inspiring. 👌❤️👏
Your work is out this world!!!

Thank you for your teaching. It’s very clear and super informative for all of us working to learn the art of this. I found you at just the right time for doing a bedroom set for a friend who wanted blended look which I had only on a small piece. I’ve watched 5 of your videos now and am appreciative of your work of explaining and recording and downloading for us.

When you have a piece that is just sucking the life out of you-yeeeessssss!!! The gray dresser I am currently working on. It’s for my own house so I have the luxury of just leaving it alone for a couple of weeks to let it marinade. Sometimes the piece tells you what it wants to be then changes it’s mind. Lol Omg that piece is gorgeous. I’m not as adventurous in my furniture. Have never tried the shading or transfers. Your video has inspired me to branch out. I have a little nightstand that’s been sitting in a closet that would be a perfect size to attempt this for my daughter for Christmas! And if it doesn’t work out so what!

I love almost every blue out there, but Haint Blue is one of my absolute favorites across all paint lines. Love that color! This piece came out beautifully. Transfers have come a long way. I haven't been one who likes a lot of words/script on furniture, but you chose just the right amount and placement. Nicely done!

Beautifully done. I just bought a secretary desk and wasn't sure what to do with it. I guess it had some work done on it because there is some type running sealer and it really bothers me. I really love the colors you used and the blending. I don't have your experience. So I'm thinking about it, a lot. Kinda scared to try. I'm really glad I found your channel. You're amazing. Thank you.
That piece looks so fantastic. Great job. I love the transfers.
