We are Vintage Statements, a small business in Phoenix, AZ that will show you some of the before, during and after of our projects that we sell. We will also show you how we redo our home and the frustrations and ideas we run into. Our goal is do great pieces that many will love and try to stand out from other furniture remodelers.
That looks good! A radio that probably no one would have attempted to restore. I would have done the same prep work but went with an automotive spray. A good base coat clear coat would give it an ultra shine with more protection. I did a table top Philco radio that was a bakelite plastic and it came out great with the base coat clear coat paint from a spray can. Good looking radio you have though!
Wouldn't the side pieces of the bench look better if they slid into the front leg stud along with the front piece? Because the way it is here you have some end grain showing.
wait what is this y'all skipped like everything. This is not start to finish video. I was expecting a how to build step by step cut by cut length, height ect..... You know a start to finish DIY video.
Those who have a wood or other shop should consider restoring the cart as a cart (easily done since the wheels and fittings are the important bits) unless they can find a hipster who wants a very low coffee table. They're superb functional carts with far better wheels than generally available and quite useful for moving heavy objects. Other uses include firewood holder and if you make an appropriate top for one, a serving or general use cart.
New here. Big challenge, but to be honest thoses are not vintage colors. I'd strip the green and go with another color. Those are French Provincial pieces. I have a one of the medium size dressers that i will be doing. Im planning on doing an ombre effect on mine. Bottom to top darker blue leading up to a light skiy blue. And maybe some kind of design on the top . Maybe you could try something like that as well, just a thought. Hope we all aren't to harsh on you with this one. Also like to say ive not seen the entire set like you have, anywhere at least no where around our area, would love to come across the whole set to be able to match my piece and do the same thing to them. Wow you are blessed to find them.
Not that much really. Two coats did the job. So that quart will get me through three dresser projects typically. At about $20 a can… so not bad on cost. :-)
Dewalt DWE6411 is the one I use I believe. I love it and recommend it. Used others and this has the least vibration in my hand. Very strong and made to last.
Beautiful work dude! I have the exact same headboard sitting in my basement. I will be driving to Home Depot tomorrow to get supplies. You made it look so easy.
you didnt explain or show how you staggered the three racks vertically. Did you use a spacer and just stack them or did you measure them to fit against the walls?
How were you able to separate the roof pillars? I was assembling this for my son and accidentally put the roof pillars on the wrong sides. But seems like it's going to break if I try removing them. Is there a specific way you had to remove them?
To be honest I don’t remember exactly. I do remember that feeling of something might break but I was able to maybe twist a little and play with it enough that no damage was done. If I recall correctly, it’s like one or two hooks at the end of the pillar you have to manipulate a little. Good luck!
I watched your video to see how you did the legs and.... you skipped the most complicated part. Did you attach from below or from top or both? And how did you attach them? Thanks
Sorry, this was an early video and didn’t shoot everything. I screwed it from below. I believe I used bolts. There is a support board next to the legs which I glued and bolted together then used it to bolt to the top.
New subscriber here. So far your the only one that I've came across on RU-vid that use that paint. Thank you 😊 I was second guessing myself on using it because everyone uses chalk paint but it's expensive.
Actually really well! It has taken so much abuse and still looks good. I didn’t lose some paint from running into walls and such but it has held up amazing. Better than expectedz
I’m a new refinisher, but i get scare if I don’t sand,prime and finish with polyurethane or poly acrylic.I want to try your technique ,but I want to know if with no primer and using only wax can work well.Thank you!
Thanks for the question. Wax is the least protective of many types of sealers but does protect a little from water and scratches. A few extra scratches on these pieces will look right at home. The paint is good quality so it’s pretty resistant to water and additional scratches. That is why sanding before hand can be so important and beneficial.
Yeah I've seen green being used a lot but I have a feeling the trend won't last long, it's really not a great color unless it fits the style of the furniture. In the case of the one you painted was not great in my opinion, but then again I'm not a fan of green in furniture.
I wouldn't want the color for me...but if the customer loves it...who am I to say. Wonderful jub..mi like the expresso stained drawers with the solid color for thr rest. I'm a fan of blue and sage green so i tend to paint that way and I can usually sell my pieces. Thanks for the video!❤
