You did a excellent job ty for sharing. I got some painting to do but those fumes get to me badly. Seems like the mask hardly do any justice. If you know any mask that can tone the smell down while wearing them please let me know. Ty in advance!
Adding water to the paint per se is not bad since the paint contains water (from the name itself, water-based 😆). Do you mean not to add more water? She used 10% water, should she have put 5% add instead? When you said "reduce". I believe you cant use lacquer thinner, or paint thinner to a "water-based" paint. You can add "Floetrol" to ensure none of brush marks left behind
@@askcoachrex426 & if wanted to make a weathered appearances, i.e. a rag or sponge faux pas painting that you would use in your color that Is Not in Any Base color. Especially in those corners or changes in texture. If only i used the grainfiller also i believe better & Quicker way if creating own textured appearances. 🖒🖒🖒👍👍🖒👍🖒👍🖒👍👍👍glad found these tips today
@ARayofSunlight & using a gray or lighter colors can Open up & change a rooms appearance when a room is Not spacious. Also with changing a Furniture's color can also show the designated areas appearance & type of peice chosen for colorful accent!
The wood grain popped up like that because of the water you added into the paint. It caused swelling in the wood. Reduce or don't add the water and then it won't have the grain raise up plus you won't have to apply so many coats. Hope that helps everyone. It turned out beautiful.
She didn't remove original finish and then put 2 coats of shellac on it before painting. Seems unlikely the water would have seep into the grain. The grain was likely already raised from long term exposure to humidity.
👌🏼 another great product that works well is KILZ bonding primer. 25 a gallon but it also repels water and mildew and coats ikea type glossy furniture, plastic, metal. It also makes it so you barely use any paint. Thanks for this! ❤
Kiltz is a great product but has a horrible chemical smell which is off putting for people with allergies. It will cover almost anything and does retard mold growth.
my desk has to be painted in my office i have a new craft table that was built in and will be hard to move to get my desk out so I will have to use kilz because i wont be moving it and don't wanna spray in a small room
Easy, affordable and straight to the point. I love your voice, your simple instructions and the warm quality of this video. Your work is beautiful. I just subscribed. Thank you.
Great tips here. I’m painting a large dresser soon. I’m gonna sand the top and give it a clear stain and paint the rest so I’ll spray it with Shilac. Nice job on that table came out great.
This was such a soothing video. Your voice and tone were very nice and easy to follow. The table turned out amazing! I'm going to attempt to do the same thing to an old desk I have. Thanks again for such an informative video.
I’d rather people buy painted wood furniture than buy cheap shit that was made in a factory that will end up in a landfill in 10 years. You’re right, eventually someone will decide to remove the paint from this piece, and it will still be a perfectly good piece of furniture when they do. If someone went to TJ Maxx or Hobby lobby trying to buy a little side table like this, it would cost them over $100, and it would be made out of shitty press board.
Me as well. Not a fan of painting detailed or vintage wood furniture that can otherwise be restored and kept with original finish. Only run of the mill furniture should be painted.
Looks great ,I picked up a tip from you to coat my table and buffet with milk paint first then my final color coat with a poly finish.Hope I got that right .Better watch video again before I start
The degreaser spray and a scuffing pad to start as a “ wet sand “ ( would have taken the same amount of time with a better prepared surface ), wipe it down with a clean damp rag. A can of rust oleum primer and a can of rust oleum topcoat and you would’ve been finished by lunch. The paint would last for 20 years.
I think it turned out beautifully! That said, for the "you should've left the beautiful wood" 🙄 folks. Different strokes for different folks, and brace yourself...not everyone likes natural wood. Yes, a shocking, I know. TONS of channels focus on natural wood restoration. Wouldn't it make more sense to watch something that you like?
I didn't know you can paint furniture without sanding first, so I'm glad I saw this video. Next project I won't feel bad about repainting w/out sanding.
BEAUTIFUL OUTCOME! MY TV STAND AND DVD/BOOKSHELVES ARE CHALK WHITE. I ORDERED BOTH A COFFEE TABLE AND MATCHING END TABLE FROM AMAZON WHITE. BUT WHAT CAME WAS AN EGGSHELL AND LIGHTER CREAM. U CAN ABSOLUTELY TELL. MY TEAL AND WHITE LIVINGROOM STILL LOOKS GREAT BUT U CAN SO TELL THE DIFF IN COLORS. I AM GONNA GET THE SUPPLIES AND PROB USE THIS WEEKEND FOR THE PAINT PROJECT. CURRENTLY LOOKING AT VIDZ LIKE YOURS FOR INSPIRATION/INSTRUCTION.
It's nice but pretty basic. Highlighting the accents on the front would make it pop more. It's very expensive if you don't have a use for the left over supplies.
It turned out great, well done! I find using a foam roller brush makes the job faster and ensures there are no brush strokes etc. Is there any reason you prefer a brush over a roller?
Wou this came out beautiful, i have 2 21x21 tables black that I just love and this is even the color scheme i was , looking for. Thank you im definitely saving my tables
That is so beautiful thank you so much for sharing and teaching us this but I would put a color where the front of it like a black or some thing that’s in the
Nice. Hey I did hear another artist say never add the water right into the paint can as the bacteria in the water causes a chemical reaction after time, and when you paint something later with that paint the actual piece can smell bad weeks or months after you paint it 😩
That’s expensive paint .. I’ve used it before . I see your technique : use shellac In Place of sanding , Thin the paint to eliminate brush strokes . Spray topcoat to save time and money. I think it came out great . * note to self: when using a light color over wood and eliminating primer .. don’t thin expensive paint SOOO much. I’m sure it didn’t bug you to do four coats on a small piece , though . For flipping I’d DEFINITELY DO THIS. At my house, I’ve learned to ALWAYS sand and prime . Im super hard on things .
You’re such a good teacher and you’re very talented!! It’s beautiful!! I’m only saying this since you asked for peoples opinion that the little knobs I’d paint black or maybe a pop of color just for contrast. Did you ever do other pieces where you added a pop of color? If so I’d like to see😊
I appreciated your clear and concise explanation as you went along. Veey nice paint job. If I wanted to use a roller, could you recommend that? Foam or pile? Thank you !
The best roller for painting furniture is the Mohair roller from Sherwin Williams. It’s a short nap and is the best at leaving only a small amount of texture behind.
The wood grain popped up because of the added water. If adding water always sand the surface down a bit between layers of paint❤ Otherwise lovely job ❤️ well done
I love the color choice 4 coats seem like a lot I suggest you choose different pull handle maybe glass or gold brushed for a pop of color silver brushed fir a more neutral look but much prettier painted❤️
