Brilliant, and as somebody who is partially deaf, I really appreciate the lack of loud, obnoxious background music that others often use whilst still trying to speak. This was such a calming tutorial. Many thanks.

Nonsense and Sensibility Chapter 5 The poetry of discarded materials... It started with a small skinny legged thing ... It seemed inconsequential, but not to the artist -- Taking the pain staking , but necessary , steps needed... The poor little discard became a beauty...ready to be tucked in,"where ?" and useful again. The poetry of a discarded thing is lovely indeed !

Hello from Alabama! As a beginner, I think my intimidation is the number of times one has to go back over with coats of paint. The artist in my wants to make the transformation in one coat and be done. But I'm learning that I have to be patient with the process, to do quality work for my customers. I completely agree with you about starting small. Thanks for the great instructional video. -Stephanie

Hi Katie, every time I watch your videos, it reminds me why I love to paint furniture and such. Not only does the furniture become new, but I also feel renewed. I was raised to respect what we had, even when we had very little, and in so doing, everyone, for the last 3 generations, that I know of, are creators. Painters, tool & die makers, quilters, builders, gardeners, yarn artists, bakers, and so many more. We see a pile of scraps and discards as possibilities. I can't imagine life any other way. Thanks for reminding me each time I visit your channel that even small changes, made with love, enrich more than the moment, but in many ways, our spirit.🌷Oh, love the tally skinny table.🌷

I am proud of what I’ve created and have received many compliments from others all thanks to you and your clear and consistent instructions. Thank you so much!

I am a furniture restorer from Amsterdam and it is great see someone doing all the right steps on KZfaq like cleaning first for example because most people skip that (very important) step. The primer that you use is interesting1 I never saw anything like that in The Netherlands we always use something called insulating agent for stains coming through the paint but it different from a primer. It turned out great! Such a nice piece of furniture.
