You just ruined 3 good items of furniture

@@tgsteer Except for the part where you're wrong. Thanks for watching!

Protect your lungs you only have 2!

I has asthma and was the the same thing!

+Quarter Horse Thanks!

If you are looking for a great furniture painter and designer, I would highly recommend Bella Renovare by Crys'Dawna. She is absolutely amazing and does so many different stuff, and she explains everything so well.

@fishingpinky, I agree! And I really enjoy the SILENT time lapse. It’s very calming. And no music elsewhere in the video either. 👍🏼

Why would you come on someone elses channel and say that. whatever. @@audreytryba2575

Thats some awesome feedback. I'm glad people are able to actually take something away from this video and put it to use. Just keep going. It will look jacked up at first but just work on one section at a time and take a step back every so often and fill in where you need to, but dont do too much! Good luck!

You can do it!

+skimmer521 Awesome! Layering dry brush coats is something I haven't shared but it is a great way to mix it up and create an eye-catching piece.

Did you have to sand between different colors.

I didnt. I lightly sanded the surface and wiped it down. Then I used four colors. I waited for the color to partially dry and wiped it all down with a dark stain that took some of the paint off and gave it a richer look.

Furniture Envy Do you plan to do a video on dry brushing with multiple colors? I just saw an awesome piece on Pinterest with brown at the bottom, white at the top and then blended with turquoise in the middle section. Gorgeous combo of colors but I'm not sure exactly how to stop and start the different sections. Thanks for this video!

+1955dmb I know the looks you're talking about but haven't tried it. It isn't necessarily dry brushing as much as it is fading the colors together with wispy strokes in the middle. If I get a piece that I don't mind experimenting on, I'll do a video on my own attempt. :)

Thank you so much 😀

You should be wearing a mask!! You may regret it in 10 years.

Senior Retirement Project M Spohn true, but not as much he is regretting all the mom “wanna bes” who watched his video.

Thanks!

Glad it was helpful!

For as many people that like painted furniture there are just as many people that hate it. We pretty much just ignore them. Enjoy the content and ignore the haters. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I don't do very much turquoise anymore but it was REALLY popular when I did this video. :)

+Tara Petersen Correct! I've actually switched from satin as being my main finish to semi-gloss. The restained wood looks like a factory finish

My Mom "antiqued" some furniture in the 1960's. It was a process called antiquing, similar result as this dry brushing.

Glad I could help!

Thanks for the compliment! Glad you enjoyed it. Trying to get a new one up every week. Hope you can subscribe and stick around. :)

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Have fun!

Thanks!

Wait till you see his hand foot style.

Oh there it is, another mask comment.

YES!!

La elección del color fue única

Thank you. I do wear a mask frequently. I'm going to have to start uploading more videos with me having it on. :) Thanks again!

Snap another mask comment...

Yes. It is pretty much what we call glazing today. I've heard older people refer to the process as "pickling" also. You know, pretty much anyone that paints furniture will catch some sort of flak over painting furniture. I definitely have. I always tell them that if they love it so much, they are welcome to strip it down and make it new again because that is what was done in the past. Yes, some pieces may be forever ruined depending on how the piece was prepped and all that, but I think there will be some treasures under paint like you said. I'm actually thinking about buying an inexpensive painted piece and restaining the whole piece. Its just been on my mind. I think it would be fun to see how it turns out. It would really flip the script on what everyone is doing today. A lot of people seem to be obsessed with me painting this specific set for some reason. It is particle board furniture with cherry veneer. The drawers arent dovetail. The set is from the 1990s and had dog piss all over the base of the dresser from the original owner. :D

I'm sure your process will improve the particle board piece. However, I keep seeing beautiful solid wood pieces being painted and hope the process can one day be reversed for the next generation who will be looking to find the original woods and styles. The current house do over style is something of the same. Beautiful walnut walls in 1890s libraries in old homes are being painted over in an effort to "brighten up" the room and this priceless wood is being forever. I am old enough to remember depression generation people painting furniture to make it "new" but young enough to watch the next generation trying to scrape the paint of these covered antiques. Are we doing reruns?

the old way back in the 60's tended to be a bit heavy but yes here we go again!

younger generation will be to busy playing computer games into their nineties. When they arent working hard to keep themselves alive. even then I'm sure they too will find bits of old old furniture to do with what they will.

And your old generation is miserable, judges and puts down the next generation!

Wow, thank you!

Sorry for the slow response. I'm bad at checking my RU-vid. Are you getting into painting furniture and looking for the numbers? Message me on Facebook under Furniture Envy and I can have a convo with you about it.

+Jeanelle Cain Thank you

Funny, but when a man says that about a woman, he's a pervert 🙄

Natalia Astankina Artist Hottie is pretty innocent coming from a man or woman. A compliment without expectations is always welcome. It's when the intention is to sleep with someone based solely on their looks. Context matters.

Lol...

Omg u got me to fast forward to see what he look like btw u r right

Mmm thats dumb, as one coat can’t possibly cover or provide enough coverage for the whole surface. Dry paint sticks to dry paint...let that sink in.

Em Jay why are getting angry lmao

Am I witnessing split personalities in this comment thread lol?

That Shabby Guy ahhh “ Em Jay” clever I’m going to use that

I bet there isn’t too many. Did you do it?

Furniture Flipping Teacher did a 2 piece set in pink and it was gorgeous. The little girl was 5 and her grandfather bought it for her. 💕

Grays are super popular right now. That and white.

Thanks a ton for watching. Tell her I said hello and thank you also!
