Painting Furniture Dark - Navy Blue Black TABLE makeover NO bubbles foam roller rid of brushstrokes 

What’s your favorite way to avoid streaks? Are you team foam roller?

Stunningly beautiful, I was just on Pinterest looking for a new round dining room table. I was upstairs in my home watering plants,When I saw the basement of my father's old table in there went into the next room and found the top. Then I saw your video. Absolutely beautiful what you did to that table that looks almost exactly like my father's. Omgosh I found my brand new table for what's now my dining room left by parents thank you.

Looks great! Love the paint tray 😁 I’m always saving kitchen and food containers to use as disposable paint vessels, but the dust pan is genius 💡

I do love the dark blue on that table. Looks great in the natural light. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks.

You absolutely saved my sanity. After 7 coats of streaky, blotchy awful topcoat put on with everything you can imagine. Sponge, brush, foam brush, pantyhose over brush, I was ready to give up and throw my dining table out. Then I figured can one more application due more harm? I bought 6” foam rollers from Amazon, said a prayer and what can I say? THANK YOU!

I didn't know anyone else loved that movie, but it was the first thing I thought of when you first went under the table! Looks great!!! 💕

So pretty..love seeing the pup and baby just a smidge.

Superb job achieved with comparative ease Shannen. You are a modern genius. Thank you fir sharing ! G Ire

Love your dust pan idea for a paint tray!!!

Your advise concerning the foam roller is great.

Love the dustpan & toddler dish for paint & sealer Shannon! You are very resourceful as always. Tabletop looks like glass! Goed zo!🌷🌷

This finish is awesome!

Absolutely beautiful 😍

Looks amazing! Your technique has helped me very much on my flips. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful color...thank you for sharing 🌞

I really like how that turned out. Normally I am a fan of the natural top, but the smoothness really made the table look nice.

Great video!! Love your content! I had to chuckle at the dustpan as your paint tray! I LOVE IT! Having a handle is SO HELPFUL!!

I just watched some really good videos by PAINT LIFE TV…omg this guy is a painting master mind. He’s a professional painter and he’s got some really great tips. He sometimes uses a catalyst-paint-hardener and he has helpful methods of the technique for this recipe on cabinets. 🧑🏼‍🎨💕

I love the results. Now I know what color to use on my desk. 😊

It came out beautiful.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind Movie def one of my favs as well!!

Thanks for sharing your method. This table is Gorgeous! I may get up the courage to try a dark color paint like this.

Yes! I tried this and its great. The wide foam roller makes it easier

Going to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

Looks great. Really nice sheen.

Beautiful job. I had to comment because of your shoutout to “eternal sunshine” also my favorite move. Regardless of how the movie ended, I wish that was a service available. It’s brilliant.

Can you please make a video with black paint with wood finish (Like black oak wood )? Love your videos❤️

Wow, absolutely flawless!

Easier to turn table over and do bottom first. Love the dust pan. Totally going to try it.

I love that you use a dustpan for paint!

Good job,Shannon!Love the foam roller idea👍🏻😀

Roller for me too, I have the dixie belle sponge but have only used on gator hide soooo will very interested on your view in next video 😉

Great video as always!! Love the tips and the best part of your channel is it's also like getting a fine wine every time ❤️

Yes I’m team sponge roller. I paint with a brush then take a dry roller and smooth it out. I also use heritage traditions paint. Love this paint. Redoing my kitchen table with this paint and stain now. The company is in Ky and this is where I live. Love watching your videos

Looove this color!! And you're still my faaaaavorite!! 😃

Stunning! 💜

Thanks for this video, I was planning on paying some one to paint my table, this is very simple, but I’ll definitely try it.

So elegant!

Love your technique!

Wow!! Beautifully done. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and ideas 💡 as i am looking to paint my dining table and chairs as well as my small kitchen cabinets. It will be a monumental task, but I know I can do it.

I have a table with the same kind of top that has an iron base. I'm looking forward to painting it.

Very nice

your amazingg

Great about the rollers as I'm still confused about them🔔👍👍👍.

Love your tips the roller techniques is used by sign makers too

It's really pretty! Big fan of navy furniture! I'm so glad to see that you can paint over an older paint finish. I have some bookcases to tackle and I have no idea what they were painted with before, but they need a refresh! Enjoying your videos - new subscriber. Thank you!

Love it

Looks flawless 💙

Use paint extenders to slow drying and lets paint level it self longer .

Looks fantastic 💜🕉

The reason why your method works is because you're using an hd foam roller. Back in the old days, I remember that my daddy used napped rollers and fine bristled brushes. We had to "feather" off the paint.

Thanks for sharing ❤️

OMG... I'm glad it works for you but I'm too OCD to deal with all that sloppiness. I watch a lot of videos where the paint is running down the cans and it's all over the place, their brushes are just slopped up... I don't get it. I can't work like that. Anyway it looks nice I wish I could feel it. The feel test is everything.

Beautiful

Great tips.

The finish is just perfect. I've seen multiple flippers suggest putting a small amount of the paint in with the top coat to prevent getting a milky finish with dark colours but you've proved that you don't need to do that. Maybe, as you mentioned, some top coats have already been contaminated and that could be why the finish ends up discoloured.

Great tips I washed you do the foam on a dresser 😏love your videos I gotta try the foam roller but so scared lol

Thank you for sharing… it’s very beautiful. I have a table that is similar, and looks like to do something but it’s my kitchen everyday use. What could I put on it to protect the finish. Can I have polyurethane or epoxy it because I want it for every day use of protecting it from water, glass marks and frequent wiping

It looks great! And I love the color 😍. How many coats of poly did you end up applying? Do you add more coats if it’s going to be a heavy use table like a kitchen table?

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍. Amazing.

I’ve seen a lot of people mix a bit of the dark paint into the top coat when painting really dark colours - what are your thoughts on that?

Love you video!!

Nice!

Do you put the clear coat all over (side of table & legs) or just table top?

Two questions: Where are you getting these large foam rollers because i can't find them at Home Depot or Lowe's. Is there a specific brand because I'm still getting roller print in the paint. This may be a dumb question but does it really matter the since/finish of the paint of it's just going to be covered in a milk or matte poly?

I’m new to painting. Do you only apply the top coat to the top? Not the sides or legs?

Hi, Can I use minwax polycrylic over a dark painted table instead of water-based polyurethane?

New Sub Here! Love your videos and techniques. Will your one step formulas work for kitchen cabinets? Thank you in advance.

Is that paint brand discontinued??? I’m planning on refinishing my grandmothers sofa table. I love that color, but can’t find it.

So Ive heard that polyurethane turns yellow after a few weeks, whta should I use?

Nice

I can't get mine to dry streak free. I've tried everything.

I’ve seen some people adding a bit of the paint to the topcoat. Not sure if that’s a good idea

Your Pottery Barn technique….. just tried it this week. Looks awesome but I did have problems with rubbing the dark glaze off when I was putting the natural twine on. I brushed the natural twine on and then used a rag to rub some off and I went all the way down to the rugged tan…..wasn’t rubbing hard. I was able to fix it but wondering if I should have waited 24 hours between the glaze and the natural twine?

For a kitchen table that is used everyday how do you feel the milk paint holds up vs/the latex paint?

Could u share a link to the decorative glaze u used first.? Thought that goes on last?

Can I ask what colour is on the walls at the end of the video when your showing that gorgeous table??

I wish I had watched your video BEFORE starting my project 😫 What grit of sanding block did you use at the start??

Can u sand a table if its not solid wood?

Beautiful table. Any reason you wouldn’t use your new paint mixture from previous video, with dark colors? (Paint, clear finish, calcium powder mixture)

Is the clear coat necessary? Like will the paint get beaten up pretty quickly without it?

What is that little tray your using w foam roller?

Do you sand the sides as well ?

Did you apply pu coat on the legs too?

Pouring some of the clear coat into another container prevents contamination in your original can.

So you only use the Polyethylene on the top and nowhere else? How does the rest of the paint hold up?

How many coats of clear did you do - and did you sand between them? Thanks!

What is this table top made of? I have a white one similar that I got from Wayfair. I think it's it made of MDF and want to paint it.

Did you put a top coat on the pedestal? How did you apply it?

how many coatings did you use Poly on it, did you sanded it, not much of a shine huh.

❤️❤️❤️

My OCD was kicking in over drive throughout this video lol

Do you use the same paint technic when you use your DIY paint? Is the finish of the DIY paint the same as milk paint?

Hi Shannon, the table looks amazing! Always amazed by how good your products turned out. Btw, when you painted and rolled the foam roller, was the roller loaded with paint? Also do you use any pressure when applying the top coat? I always get lots of bubbles when I used the foam roller, maybe bc i applies too much pressure...

I have a question what if I just bought furniture from home goods and sale for more money how would you think I would come out out profit wise.Im not into painting and fixing up furniture.

Foam will always show bubbles. A good paint will flatten, but if you want the same finish with no drama, use a 4mm mohair roller.

Is this table still available?

Is this the same table you painted rugged tan? I ask because I’m getting ready to follow your video on how to paint my own table and if it doesn’t stand the test of time then I will try this one instead ☺️

Love this video ne SUBBIE 💙
