These are lovely, Taryn. I love all the layers and the wax colors. I like this kind of video and if you want to do more like this, I am here for it. Whether by design or not, the smalls have become part of your business so I am interested in seeing what you do. You have a really good eye for spotting future treasures!🌸

When I started to watch and heard you saying you're gonna stay with 2 base colours and just add something to enhance the pieces I instantly thought "I doubt it" and 6 min in and it looks like I was right 😂😂😂 you're like me, we get carried by the pieces and the colours 😁 now let me keep watching 😅

You made everything look so gorgeous! It’s funny how everyone’s taste is different. I liked the frame you didn’t like Just saying because it could sell the original way and save you time redoing it 😊

This was a lot of fun to watch. Everything looks beautiful after they were finished 💖 How long did this take you in real time?

@elegantupgrades Жыл бұрын

I wish I could give you exact times, but I’m terrible at actually clocking things. I finished them all in three days, but I didn’t work full days. Just slapped paint on and then let them dry while I did other things.

@Elegant Upgrades over 3 days was what I was wondering, close enough 😊 I noticed at least 3 different outfits lol

I really enjoyed this video. The pink vase with the roses had a makers mark on the bottom, would you mind telling who it is?

@elegantupgrades Жыл бұрын

The vase is already gone so I can’t look at it for you- sorry, Carolyn! But I did look it up before I painted it and I found others with the mark going for around $20 if that’s why you were asking.

@@elegantupgrades Hehe. For real though its all good you're doing 'smalls' in addition to your furniture. Same techniques can be applied to both and you're still elegantly upgrading. 🙂
