@whisperjam33m24 yep, sure did, way before it ever existed, I submitted the color sample and mix. At one point they talked of naming it for me, it it was just another idea they appropriated from artists without credit

I love the dimension and visual interest this adds, without being tacky - I am going to try this! Thanks for the video.

Nice job I love your mystery paint. Thank you for teaching us how to blend. You make it look so easy.

Watching you blend you make it look so easy!

Thank you for making this look easy. I say that only because I have never used chalk paint before. I have been wanting to try this for some time now and I'm finally going to get my chance. I'm decorating a spare room and have the teals going on and want to revamp a 1940ish chest of drawers. Poor thing has seen better days, but I love it! Wish me luck, and thanks again!

You are awesome. I love they clear way that you teach. I'm like you when I see someone do the blended technique and not feather out the colors it just messed up the whole mood of the piece. I'm a new sub but your my favorite already. Many blessings!!

Thanks for your reply. I ordered Royal Blue, Stormy seas and Savannah Mist. Please advise how to mix. Beginner in the process

That color is awesome. Barb

Tried blending, but didn't quite come out like yours. Someone thought the top of the table was slate!! It was okay; but will attempt on another piece to blend.

That is such an awesome look and color. Will you please give the mix ratio for you custom base color? Thank you!

I hope I get to take a class with you. I’ll be moving to Sacramento in April!! Probably Elk Grove- but I can’t wait to start living my dream of staging and furniture flipping. Question- is there any tips you have on flipping as a beginner?

Love, Love, Love ❤️❤️❤️ your mystery color. What is the ratio of each color did you mix to get that color? I just bought my daughter a beautiful desk I picked up from FB Market Place for Christmas to put in her office in the new home she is building. 😊 I would love to send you a picture of the desk to get your thoughts on the piece especially the top. Brandy, do offer phone consultations for a fee? The desk is gorgeous. I'm so excited, but nervous. 😬. Also, where can I find the end results on the night stands? I would love to see how it turned out. They are beautiful. ❤️

I like hemp oil, I use it to freshen up drawer boxes sometimes. It's not as durable as a clear coat so I usually will clear coat for customers, they appreciate low maintenance

How will you use the dark waxes? That’s a really important part. Do you dark wax over white wax?

@BrushedbyBrandy

I used clear coat on these and black and brown waxes for shading

The colours u used was Mermaid, peacock, Evergreen,, Bunker hill Blue & Caviar Black I pray with all my heart I can win

Is your base coat the same color you’re using now?

I love watching you paint & blend. I am so afraid to try it. I have this beautiful solid wood bed I just painted an almond color. Now I have purchased 3 Dixie Belle paint colors to do blending. The original paint I put on this bed was Benjamin Moore advance paint bc I had some. My question - do I have to put a fresh coat of wet paint on first before I start blending? The Benjamin Moore advance paint seals on its own. ( for lack of better words). The 3 colors I picked to blend are French linen and a sea foam green color. What are your suggestions. How can I send you a picture? Thank you in advance for listening. Patty😊

Hello Brandy! This is So beautiful! I see they used this color as Antebellum blue. I also saw one of your videos where you did a custom color and suggested they call it Juniper. So is this years ( 2021 ) fall color Juniper your mix? If so, I hope they compensate you for your creativity! I used it to paint a dresser I turned into a bench! What was the name of those pulls you used? I replayed it several times and couldn’t understand. Would I be able to find them on Amazon? Thanks for all you do to inspire us rookies!

I am so glad I came across this video. I have a board that I painted that resembles a drawer front. I practiced your technique on that and it worked really well. The only difference is that I used Sawmill Gravy instead of Sage because that's all I had. It really was not hard at all. I've been doing it wrong all this time & wondering why my projects came out a mess! Thanks so much!
