Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included th-cam.com/users/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.
This is such an amazing look to the wood finish. And the things I love about this video- •your comments are straight to the point, you don’t mess around with semantics (and the need to hear yourself talk, as many other creators do) •your voice is very soothing and calm •the music is a great choice and goes with the trancey activity of painting •so helpful that you not only link to the products, but include variations (water-based vs oil, etc.) •had to include this last one…. from one Shannon to another, I only hope to do half as well as you with such projects😉
I should add (from fearless 76 year old) I LOVE THAT THERE IS Less talk, great music, and details and loving "cheap brush" LMAO Usually its "pick up the brush, dip in paint blah blah blah " Thanks again and blessings!!!❤
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Knox Charlie i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I wish you lived close to me ..I have so many pieces to refinish but I’m sure none of my close refinishers will do this wonderful job… the looks i would like to recreate …I’m afraid to do it by myself .. non a handy person at all..but watching your videos I’m tempted to do it . Thanks for sharing your professional and beautiful techniques
I know this video is 3 years old, but it is new to me. Thanks so much for the inspiration and instruction. I have painted kitchen cabinets and I think I will use this technique to update them to the wood look that is trending in 2023. I love your channel. Your projects look so beautiful.
Hi Shanon, I’m becoming a big fan of your channel, I love that RH look; I’m a furniture flipper and am always looking to differ from the rest, there are thousands of videos on how to paint with fancy expensive paints and unless you’re sponsored those expensive products can eat up all your profits; you are the proof that gorgeous finishes can be achieved with products that have been around for decades. Please don’t change your way, and your easy down to earth way of explaining the process. Best regards
Ninna A. Thanks for being here!!! I’m so glad the content is valuable for you! Yes, my husband and I flipped full time for a while and expensive products are great, but you are so right about them eating up profits! Follow my Instagram too to see behind the scenes ❤️ @black_sheep_house
Of ALL the TH-camrs for furniture make-overs I follow….you are my FAVORITE!!! It’s simple, use whatever you have…and your pieces are gorgeous! I have watched the “wood like finish” kitchen table…probably 10 times! Lol. I tried it, the broom, the deck brush and even the dog brush. My table is huge and round. I managed to prime it and do a gray wash but the gray took darker in areas then others. There seems to be no quick fix. In addition, I live in FL, so was was sweating my butt off and it was leaving stains. Any advice is appreciated!!! I LOVE your videos!
Hey! Thanks for the kind words of support! You could try to dry brush and blend to soften the color contrast and cover flaws or you can use mineral spirits and wipe it off and redo. If I were you I would try the dry brushing, probably do a few different colors that are close in color and try and blend with a chip brush and wipe away after brushing with the paper towel to get a vey light amount in some spots
OMGOSH your video in EVERY WAY is totally AWESOME!!! I've been searching for 3 weeks exactly the art you created!! I don't like chalk or milk paint or all the other very expensive products! My first project is a challenge! Doing my entire dining room with buffet and hutch, chairs and table for 12 but I'm 76 and fearless! God bless you!
Love how you show Technique Through real time and don't fast forward so I'm able to see and hear you explain....thank you so much for this and ur piece came out soo Beautiful... thank you!🤗👍🖌️🎨❣️
I love the music and the song. You are kind when you start talking to stop the music. It is a nice set song. A perfect match for this piece. I realize for some they do not like music but I believe this was very tastefully done. Awesome painting technique thank you so much for sharing
Hi Shannon. Sarah from Brooklyn, NY here. So happy I stumbled across your videos. I am really loving your whole aesthetic and vibe. Also glad to see what you create with not fancy products. I'm excited to see more of your creations. Also, loving all of your background music. Nice touch!
I love your videos, I think you're so kind and humble. I'm trying to learn to do some flips. I've been teaching myself with my own furniture. 😊 Thank you for your videos and happy painting !!!
I noticed you took the time to put in a waterbased alternative for the glazes into your notes- that' s so awesome! Thank you for going the extra mile and saving me the time of figuring out a waterbased version! I'm in Canada and we really only have two months of the year that are warm. I have to work with my heater on and the garage door closed so much of the year that I stick with waterbased products. You rock!
Hihi, I am really confused over the water base or oil base. Zinseer 123 is definitely water base, so I thought best choice is waterbase for all the paint and glaze and top coat?
I forgot the pickling stain until I watched the video 6 times or so!!! (Is that normal?) Can you say GORGEOUS, I'm working on an end table now and just finished a Pottery Barn Dupe Finish Big dresser, It turned out So nice!! Thank You for such great inspiration, I really appreciate your style and wonderful ideas!!😅😅
been looking to see how to make-over my Auntie wood dresser that she left when she passed and I can't bare get rid of it. I am going to try this... Gosh I hope it comes out great ! lol
Hi @blacksheephouse, thank you for posting so many wonderful tutorials. I actually tried to follow this video (my first faux wood staining experience) and one area I am having trouble is with staining. As I rub the stain from left to right I often start to see little particles in the stain that come from the stain and become stuck to the board. I can upload a picture if you’re not sure what I’m talking about. Wondering if you have any advice about this?
Wow i just found you & this dresser is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️ Can you tell me why you didn’t remove the drawers-doesn’t the original brown show around the edges when the drawer is pulled out?? Thanks!!
Looks beautiful! One question… is there a reason you don’t remove the drawers when painting or staining the base cabinet? When you pull out the finished drawers is there any evidence of the previous furniture finish? Or are these drawers inset? Thanks.
Hi I love your videos so helpful and thorough. I wanted to ask you if you think its a good idea to do this method on a dining table. I bought a new set online but when I received it it looks green ( not desirable) I thought this would be a good option for me to do , what are your thoughts? Thank you!
I just stained my pine top table with min wax dark walnut oil based and the whitewashed top with sawmill gravy Dixie chalk paint on top and feel like it’s too grey now. What would you recommend to get mor3 this taupe color top on top?
I absolutely love this, but my only issue is I have a dresser chest that I want to do this too but it’s has brass recessed handles and I want to do away with that, but haven’t a clue what to put in its place since the hole cutout. Any suggestions?
I would remove the metal part and then fill the recessed spot with bondo or some other wood filler like Durhams rock hard water putty. And then drill new handle holes. Durhams is super cheap so since you’ll be using a lot you may want to go with that. Lay the furniture on its back so it doesn’t drip out while it’s drying 🖤
Hola hermosa felicitaciones por tu arte y muchas gracias por compartirlo. Quisiera me aclararas para los que poco entendemos el inglés, si la pintura glasé es a base de aceite.?
Hola!! Me alegra que hayas gustado mi video! Toda la pinta usada en ese video es base de agua. El gel que usé es base de aceite. Espero que haya entendido tu pregunta bien!!
Was this piece of furniture painted before you started using the whisk broom and deck brush?? Just wondering. I do like the extra layering of paint and paint finishes but I like the effects you accomplish with the whisk broom and deck brushes also which look really really professional.
Hi, I cannot find the Varathane briar smoke gel stain anywhere in my town is there another product you know of that I can use instead to get the same look ? Thanks for your videos love your work!
I haven’t been able to find anything quite like the Briarsmoke and I have been looking for a water based alternative for a year 🖤 I did try mixing grey paint in with my rustoleum Java glaze and got pretty close though so I’d give that a try. If you don’t have a brown glaze you can use brown paint and some clear poly mixed together. Let me know if you try and if you succeed!!
Hi Shannon, I want to redo my bedroom set in this finish . My set has a lot of detail,crevices etc. would you say this finish is easier to accomplish on a piece that’s has less detail and more flat areas ? I’ve never done this before so I don’t want to mess it up!
I can’t seem to find the list of the products you used for this. I’m in love with what you did here and want to attempt to replicate it on our kitchen table and TV stand. Could you let me know what you used and any recommendations for a top coat to seal it all once it’s done. Since it’s the kitchen table, I want to apply something that will protect it. Thanks!
Do you think this would work to some degree with a regular oil based stain rather than a gel stain? I have soooo many regular stains. Just curious if I could save some cost somewhere. You give me hope I can do the same. Looks so pretty!
I was wondering your thoughts on what color to paint an old China hutch I purchased in 1980’s. It has an antique gold metal strips (can’t describe well) in the front window French doors. Right now it’s walnut and just looks dated. I love Ballard colors
Sounds cool! Any of the wood looking finishes on my channel would look great. I just did a pottery barn dupe that is water based and it’s my favorite right now to do on French pieces 😍

Awesome !!! Thanks for suggesting alternative materials such as water base because not everybody has a garage to work out of
Absolutely love this finish!
Love this! Binge watching all your videos! So much to learn! Thank you!! BTW-Love the music!!

Haha! Yes, it’s probably my favorite finish!
Love love love 💕 the finish on this! Trying it tomorrow with an old TV console. Thank you 🥰

OMG, you are my hero!!!! I just did this finish on a french provincial, I did not do the white on top, and it sold within 45 minutes for 500 bucks!!!
YAY! Your comment honestly made my day! Thank you for all your support
Love this finish!!
Looks beautiful
Enjoying your videos!
This did turn out beautifully. I just bought a nightstand and the finish is almost identical!
You’re amazing!!!
Perfect effect. Really like the look and easy step by step tutorial with the lusting of products. I’m going to try this technique. Thanks
Glad you liked it!!
I love the music !
This piece turned out amazing!!
Thanks 🙏
Just wonderfull
Beautiful
Love this! I am wanting to do something similar to some old laminated cabinets for my kitchen. Thank you for sharing this!
Yes! More you talking less music volume. Great dresser! Love and I have most of the ingredients in my closet too 😆
My newer videos are much better 😅 that’s awesome you already have these 👏
This piece turned out gorgeous! 🤗
Thank you! 😊
You gave such good info. Thank you ❤️
LOVE LOVE WHAT YOU DID, SO BEAUTIFUL I WILL TRY IT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING US AN AMAZING JOB, NEW SUB
Beautiful work!

Thanks for the kind words, Terri!
I love it, and learn from you a lot. Thanks 🙂
That makes me happy! I’m so glad you’re here and enjoy these videos ❤️
Love it.
Very nice
Wow i just found you & this dresser is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️
Can you tell me why you didn’t remove the drawers-doesn’t the original brown show around the edges when the drawer is pulled out?? Thanks!!
Really great stuff...
This was just amazing to watch, great video & info thanks so much! Liked your music too except when you were talking and she was singing over you.
Love it. I wish you would list the music so we can find it to listen too.
That song is called Fly Free by Hartley ❤️ a favorite of mine too!
Beautiful piece!! Only use water based paint over water based stain. Water based white over oil stain will peel off.
Thanks! In my experience with the layers being so thin I haven’t had any issues at all using oil over water and vice versa, so I do it all the time 😅
It looks so good!
Can you show us how to fill holes? I know it’s supposed to be easy but I don’t know how 🙈
I def need to do a video on that!
Looks beautiful! One question… is there a reason you don’t remove the drawers when painting or staining the base cabinet? When you pull out the finished drawers is there any evidence of the previous furniture finish? Or are these drawers inset? Thanks.
BIG FAN HERE! I can't find the list of colors and what is the MUSIC you play I LOVE IT PLEASE post!!TYTY
Fly free by Hartley ❤️
i have a problem finding Briar smoke anywhere!! What would be the alternative in a gel wood stain?? I am stressing.
Love it, you did an amazing job 👏
Maravilloso!! Buen trabajo. Muchas gracias
Even though the music is some of my favourite, it drowns your voice out. That being said, what a beautiful result.
Amazing!
Omg....how do you create such beAutiful art work? I tried this and I have a disaster sitting in my living room right now. Ugh
How long in between do you wait?

I bought a new set online but when I received it it looks green ( not desirable) I thought this would be a good option for me to do , what are your thoughts? Thank you!
What kind of paint are you using as a base coat

What’s the reason behind using gel stains?
Can I use a liming wax at the end?
Hi Shannon, I want to redo my bedroom set in this finish . My set has a lot of detail,crevices etc. would you say this finish is easier to accomplish on a piece that’s has less detail and more flat areas ? I’ve never done this before so I don’t want to mess it up!
I love this finish on pieces with details 🖤
I can’t seem to find the list of the products you used for this. I’m in love with what you did here and want to attempt to replicate it on our kitchen table and TV stand. Could you let me know what you used and any recommendations for a top coat to seal it all once it’s done. Since it’s the kitchen table, I want to apply something that will protect it. Thanks!
It’s all in the description, I switched to water based though these days. I’m using rustoleum antiquing glaze instead of Minwax gel stain
I couldn't find the pickling white wash so was hoping you could suggest an alternative?
Any brand of white wash found at hardware stores will do the trick or you can make your own white wash by watering down chalk or latex paint, cheers!
I want to do this look to my bathroom vanity. What poly u recommend I use to seal it and keep it safe from water? Love this look good job.
I would use Varathane water based polyurethane for a bathroom. 3 coats at least
Do you think this would work to some degree with a regular oil based stain rather than a gel stain? I have soooo many regular stains. Just curious if I could save some cost somewhere. You give me hope I can do the same. Looks so pretty!
Yes, totally!! I have used reg stains a lot for looks like these!!!
@@blacksheephouse thank you!😘
Love it!
I was wondering your thoughts on what color to paint an old China hutch I purchased in 1980’s. It has an antique gold metal strips (can’t describe well) in the front window French doors. Right now it’s walnut and just looks dated. I love Ballard colors
Sounds cool! Any of the wood looking finishes on my channel would look great. I just did a pottery barn dupe that is water based and it’s my favorite right now to do on French pieces 😍
You can do this on wood???
Would you apply a water-based flat poly or oil-based poly *and I don't see a flat in the oil base?
Varathane matte Water based poly is easiest and most matte finish I find
