Miller's Crossing Design

Hi , I am new to the you tube world and social media in general but I am not new to the DIY world, I have been around crafts my entire life, it's how my mother and I bonded ..she was the art director for the summer camp, so glue and glitter and construction paper was a constant in my life. As I got older and started my own family, our budget wasn't very big for home decor .. and there is nothing that I love more than interior design ..so I learned ways to upcylcle items from the thrift store or from my own home to give it a new look..mostly with paint. My husband and I restored a home built in 1847 from 2003- 2016 .. it is on this journey that I really ,really found myself , now that my kids are older I am turning my talent and passion to help and inspire others , I do custom design services, I paint cabinets and furniture and I hold craft workshops featuring the paint line that I sell ,DIY Clay paint, designed by Debis design diary .. I hope you follow me on my new journey

    This is a great video except it's really hard to clearly see the finished look so I can not determine if I want to do it. It looks good as you go but there isn't a good finish shot. There is glare and it just looks grey.

    Yes, Debi's Design Diary DIY clay paint does not withstand the rainy weather from my experience. You will need to use a clear or matte outdoor polyurethane product. Chalk paint does do well in wet weather, tho.

    I have never done, it .. I honestly would probably use a primer and then an acrylic based paint, like Fusion or a cabinet paint from your local paint store..and then topcoat it with a non yellowing topcoat .. ny favorite is dream coat by Daydream Apothecary Paint ... I wouldn't use A chalk or clay paint on such a used surface
