It’s not the colors I would have picked, but the application was perfection. I am glad that your customer was happy with the pieces. You do beautiful work.

I agree! I would have liked a darker wood stain (less orange tone) with the paint wash! Your work and love for each piece are amazing! I'm so glad your customer loved it! ❤❤

This may be the furst time ive liked the look of paintwash! Here it is an accent not a bland canvas.

@aliferefurbished Месяц назад

Paint wash is basically the same thing as staining, but with paint, you basically get more color options. I agree, the color as an accent turned out great

I'm probably in the minority here, but I liked the cooler color of the frame with the warmer color of the top and drawers! It makes the piece versatile. You do lovely work!

Your work sure speaks for itself. To get a recommendation shows your devotion to your skill. This piece was waiting for a long time but when the time came… after 3 years of diverse trends - the customer has spoken. Amazing work! I’m so glad you explained to us step by step, it is incredibly helpful. I love it and wow neat profit. I enjoy the content you post. God bless.

@toddylu6869 27 дней назад

It was a masculine effect to me and very well done. The colors were different but like you said, "customer happy, I'm happy". I will be embarking on a large buffet that will be a bright coral color with texture and stencils. Not for everyone but I think it will work for me. That is why you listen to the customer and do the best you can.

@heidisettles5537 Месяц назад

Can't believe how well the acetone removed the lacquer finish. Probably much more economical and a cleaner process than stripper. This was an incredible profit, I didn't think I would like the combination of wash and stain, but it looks terrific. Those original handles were fabulous, but the replacement ones work well. Do you think the General Finishes topcoats are better than the typical Varathane and Minwax brands at home centers? Kind of pricey.

@aliferefurbished Месяц назад

I know! And cleaning the finish by simply whipping it off after made the process so much more simple than cleaning furniture stripper. For topcoats, I’ve heard great things about Varathane. I love General Finishes sheen, and I’ve tested it in pieces I’ve refinished for my own home. The durability is amazing, this is why I use them.

@MARYBOORMAN Месяц назад

Hearty congrats on the finished piece. You did a wonderful job. The stain colour I do not prefer - too orange for my liking. Happy customer is always the goal though and I commend you for your effort. :-)

@Laura_Brock Месяц назад

The stain is more orange than is widely poplar right now, but the total makeover looks so amazing!! The new hardware fits perfectly. I know that your customer must be thrilled with the results.

@aliferefurbished Месяц назад

I agree that the this stain color is not as popular. I would have loved to find dangling hardware for it, but I was lucky I found some that matched the two sizes I needed for this one. Thank you!

@maryruther1842 24 дня назад

Preferred original hardware. Stain very lovely, however paint wash just did not work with that stain. In my opinion a darker paint wash or oil would have better complemented the stain on majority of body. I know it was her preference, but I can tell you knew better. The way you explain everything is excellent, very clear, and very inspiring. Thank you for sharing all of this work. I learned a lot from you!
