Furniture Makeover using Wax!

Do you remember my video, “Flipping Furniture Makeover on Barstools?”  Don’t worry!  You can click on the box below and watch the video now.

Wax on Furniture!

I had a “oh so strange” furniture makeover situation where the Wax Melted. Oh My!!!

Those are typically the types of projects that get ignored and stuck back in the garage and it did for a couple of months. But, I’ll be at TreasureFest this weekend and so I felt inclined to get moving on fixing the barstools.

New Video on You Tube: What to do when your Wax Melts on your Furniture Makeover?

It took me some time, but I figured out how to resolve the melted wax situation and I’m thrilled with the results.  Zinsser Peel Stop came to the rescue!

Watch the New Video on You Tube and a solution to what to do when Wax melts on your furniture.

I hope you enjoyed my videos and will subscribe to my channel.

Now go out there and Create something!

Dining Room Makeover!

My old Dining Room was kinda dark and dreary.  It really wasn’t a welcoming spot for the boys and I to sit at the table and enjoy a meal.  On holidays, I tried to set the table nicely, but the bottom line was…it was dark and dreary.

When your Dining Room isn’t welcoming, well, you end up not using it.  That’s what happened in the old dining room.

Chair Makeover!

When I moved out of the Woods and Back to Town, the Dining Room Makeover was a priority.  My boys like sitting at the table eating meals and I knew that I needed to provide that space.

Chairs are the most important thing in a dining room and they need to be comfortable.  My old chairs, were just old and not comfortable.  Lucky for me, I get a lot of free furniture and I ended up with a bunch of free chairs and decided to swap out the old wood chairs and update a set of chairs to use at my table.

Let me know what you think of the before and after?

We are pretty happy with the after look.  For this project I used Debi’s Design Diary DIY Paint in the following colors:

• A color mix of Skeleton Key and White Swan (video on that project here),
• Crinoline
• Faded Burlap
• White Swan
• Sandy Blonde

All of these paint colors can be purchased on my website at CreateWithCynthiaShop.com or by visiting the store in Redwood City.

I hope this inspires you to Create something beautiful.

Make it a great day!

Debi’s Design Diary DIY Paint!

A couple weeks back I wrote a post about “Color Mixing and Blending With DIY Paint” and you can read about it here.

Chair Makeover and Wall Art!

Today, it’s about Skeleton Key and White Swan to transform a chair.  I also made some cute wall decor with the paint colors and Essential Stencils.

With the extra paint I made some Wall Decor / Wood Signs that are all about Summertime and the Beach and Lake.  Essential Stencils has some cute stencils available and if you purchase through this link you can receive 10% off at checkout with code CWC.

Blending and Mixing DIY Paint!

You can also watch my Video on You Tube, “Angel Artwork with Iron Orchid Designs and DIY Paint” where I mix Cowgirl Corral and Petticoat Pink with a pinch of Golden Ticket.

DIY paint comes in a lot of colors but sometimes the color you’re looking for is unique. The nice thing about DIY paint is that it’s clay components allow you to mix and blend colors to create unique color combinations.

I hope you enjoy my new videos and that you are inspired to go out there and create something unique.
