- In this video I test my patience by sanding the orange-y finish off and staining with a paint wash. I love the result but others...not so much! Let me know what YOU think! Thanks for watching!

I have been doing a lot of pieces in a paint wash with Algonquin and then going over them with a light coat of aged oak gel stain. It has really made a difference in how fast my natural wood pieces sell. It adds the perfect amount of warmth to the wood instead of the more stark look of just a paint wash. I also use matte black hardware with my wood pieces and that makes a difference too with the contrast.
My mother had furniture from the 50’s that had a light paint wash that were then stained over that. This was called “blonde” finish, even when it was used with dark stains like walnut. The grain was filled with the paint, and then the stain went over the surface, and you would see those little flecks of paint through the stain. So the “blonde” finish from the 50’s could actually be dark colors. My mother had a bedroom set with a “blonde” finish on walnut wood, with walnut stain.
I would love to see a picture of the piece with the aged oak gel stain?
Excellent idea. I personally do not like the look of paint wash. It looks too trendy and cheap, in my opinion. I bet it is gorgeous with the warmpth of the gel stain!
I was shocked when you covered up the leafy details. Those were one of the best things about it. I understand the modernization but I wish you kept the ornate touches and then modernized it with paint colors. But we all have our own style! The darker pieces you have painted have been my favorites. Especially anything French Provincial. ❤😊
I love that you share your “trials and tribulations”! As an amateur, I learn a lot from those scenes and don’t feel so alone in my own frustrations. I’ve been watching your vids since you left your kindergarten classroom and am impressed with how much you’ve grown. Your hard work and perseverance is evident, and has paid off! Thanks for your transparency in your work. Awesome job!
I'm not sure on the hardware either. Maybe try the original black hardware on the beige. Give it a more modern look.
What trials? what tribulations? she sands off the old finish , then slaps on a primer and paint and sells it. there's nothing hard about what is being done here. there's no major repair work needed, she buying furniture that doesn't require any repair work. and if it does she bondo's or uses woodputty to fix the issue which is not a long term fix. infact it's no fix at all.
I vote to try black pulls if it doesn't sell in a month.
Kincaid Furniture is generally excellent quality and pretty expensive comparatively. That set was probably sold for over $2,000 new originally.
I agree with others I dont really care for the hardware. I dont know if I really like the color. Will say I enjoy watching your process. Praying someone will purchase
The color wouldn’t be something I would buy, but I agree with others to switch to black hardware. For that price point, I think it would bring in more interest. Fingers crossed that it sells for you soon!!!
Love the work you do, but my opinion is paint versus wash would have been better on this set and not loving the hardware color with the wash color. You are very talented, and I enjoy seeing your work and your success!
UK here, we have varnished wood on the top with a dark colour ( green, navy blue, paynes grey) underneath at the moment. Take a look, I think you’ll like the contrast xx
It's pretty. A lot of people are looking for black, slate grey. Love this one
I would love to buy pieces finished by you! You are so thorough with your technique, as well as educating yourself…your experience and talents speak volumes! Love your work!!!
Black pulls would really elevate this in my opinion especially with the color choice
Looks great! I love the look of the bleached wood finish. I would prefer dark bronze or matte black hardware tho.
definitely! i thought the hardware I ordered was a bit more on the bronze/brass side but it kind of ended up being more coppery! I may switch it to black here soon if these don't sell! thanks for watching!
Oh my goodness! Thank you for sharing this video and your trial and error it was fabulous to walk through your process with you, see what you thought worked and how you mitigated issues. It was a learning journey for us all! I also thank you for taking these pieces back to bare wood and giving them a new and updated look using a paint wash rather than covering it with opaque paint, it was fun to see it transform into something more modern. Really great job as always!
glad you enjoyed!!! 😀 I love sharing all the trials and errors! 🙌🏼
Beige is great, but I would use black hardware.
Yeah the color is too cool to add the warm gold hardware
My thought exactly. Black hardware or oiled bronze would look better.
I liked the original stained finish & leaf detail. Was sad to see the leaf detail go. But you know best what is selling in your area.
No way, I love beige. Anything neutral light or dark, just not dark red or orange.
It’s an excellent solid wood furniture brand.
I have a set like this and I've been thinking about painting the bottoms that new dark teak blue green and staining the tops darker. This is gorgeous!!
The only thing I would have done different was darker/black pulls.
Me, too, and I think if she just switched those up, she might find her buyer sooner. A little more contrast with a subtle color like that can work wonders!
Yes, it is odd to work so hard to get rid of the yellow/orange tones and then put yellow brass knobs on it.
Not sure how I feel about these. The colour looks dirty and they’re just not appealing. Maybe darker hardware would have looked better. I believe the wood is pine. If you find it doesn’t sell you should re do it and either do a full paint job and not a wash or do the bottom parts painted and the tops in either bare wood or a paint wash. Appreciate all your hard work on it though.
Good job, Lauren! You are an honest person and your humility is admirable. Have a great day!
Love watching and learning from you! Thank you ❤
Kinkaid is very good furniture. My bedroom set, king poster bed, tall dresser/mirror, night chest, and 30" round table for the other side of bed was $10K in 2008.
I love Algonquin! I used Cathedral Taupe the same way you did, as a paint wash on my solid wood buffet. So pretty!
Awesome video... Love your honesty!... and your enthusiasm to share with your peeps!.... Appreciate your hard work, love we can all learn so much! TY!
I appreciate that! glad you enjoyed!!
Beautiful as always
Another great flip! I personally wouldn’t get something that color in my house, but I know somebody will love it. But I agree with some other comments, maybe try black hardware if it doesn’t move soon. I always like to have it when the hardware color contrasts with the piece, makes it pop. I’ve learned a lot from this channel, keep it up!
I’m going to be honest with you! I can’t say that I don’t like it but it’s not my cup of tea. I also don’t understand why people are so into the paint wash. Let your paint shine through! 😅 Please keep us updated on how it goes! As far as your painting and all of the work goes you still kick butt! 🎉
Thank you for your videos. Loved being able to see the reality of your decisions, choices, research and reaching out for help. This helps me to give myself some grace when things dont work out like I think the should. Great job. ❤
Lauren, I admire your dedication to making all your pieces look so beautiful ❤. I’m sure the set will find a loving home soon !!
thanks so much!
I love how you explain everything ❤❤❤
Turned out beautiful.
Wow, what a project! There's always room to learn something new, like using the bleach to combat blotchiness. So nice you had a friend to turn to for assistance. Love the trim you mounted to hide the leaves. It turned out very pretty and I'm sure someone will fall in love with it. The hardware is classy, love it! (I personally wish the knots didn't show through across the pieces, so sorry)
Looks great Lauren! 🥰🥰
I would have used a wood stain on it and put new hardware on it. I don't think I would paint something that's that. Good of quality furniture and solid wood. Although I am guilty of painting a broyhill triple dresser at one point, but my daughter still loves it and she still uses it after many years
a paint wash is essentially a stain, as you can still see the wood. just a different method! thanks for watching.
Good job! I really like it.
Loving the finished items
We just finally painted 2 of our pieces that were that color. Originally purchased in 1992 for our 2 year old son”s room. Have been meaning to repaint or refinish since 2007. Finally got around to it in a deep grey blue. I loved the whitewashed wood tone but my husband and son did not after 17 years. Someone will probably love these pieces.
It's beautiful 😍
Good job, love the final result ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
thanks, Brenda!
worth every penny looks great
thank you!
I love a light paint wash. So gorgeous
thanks!
Love your work and love audible while sanding and painting. Keeps me sane. I hope Audible decides to sponsor you. 👍
I'm not a fan of beige furniture. It reminds me too much of the 80's. I remember beige laminate furniture with tropical upholstered sofas...Miami Vice! lol But everyone has different likes. I'm sure it will sell, you are very good at refinishing!
Reminds me of 1960s bedroom sets.
I love the big bachelor chests that have so much more storage than most small nightstands. More room for books and a drink and a lamp on the surface, too!
agreed!
I liked the leaf detail. There is still something good about traditional style.
i figured some people may like it but it could appeal to more people with the new design instead (:
Great job!
Beautiful job. You did Kincaid proud! It is a very good grade of furniture.
Amazing, love everything you did. Very talented lady..
She sure is! 👍😉
Thanks so much 😊
Beautiful!
and mrs T Really love the set you have done a great job hope it sells quick for you as you deserve the hard work you put in
Thank you so much!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Well done Lauren!
Thank you!!
I hadn't seen any of your videos in a while, and your production quality has skyrocketed! Well done adapting and learning new skills (or hiring great videographer/editor)
It looks nice! Just remember, money is tight now for many (food/gas) and pieces that sold quicker may take a bit more time.. I'm sure they will sell. 😊
Love it
I’m learning so much from you ❤ thank you…
You could use diluted lye instead of part A, and hydrogen peroxide 30% (it is sold in pool care stores ) instead of part B. I used it many times in my furniture flipping projects. It’s so much cheaper than actual wood bleach sets. I use it mostly on red oak furniture. It works wonders. I like white oak furniture look instead of red/orange undertones. Just try it. It really works. I did research it for refinishing my floors (it was red oak and I wanted very light wood for more open feel.
Blonde furniture has more FUN! ❤
And it’s dumber
If scrubbing off dirt is your idea of fun.
Its beautiful! 😍🍍
Thank you! Cheers!
I work with Popular wood in a small way a lot. I use a white paint for the wood to take whatever I want to do to it. I have stained it but it doesn’t take a lot and I used a dark color.
It's beautiful!!!
Thank you! 😊
Just gorgeous ❤
Thank you! 😊
Excellent video❤❤❤
For sure, to restore good furniture, less stressful than 30 kiddos in a classroom!!!
I really love how this turned out. Thank you for your continued transparency. I learn so much from you. The trim work is a great idea! It covered up the original nicely and updated it for… I think you said $10! B~}
Poplar was often used for painted woodwork. It naturally has a lot of green tones in it. Staining is hard because it has so much difference in its natural colors.
Lauren, As usual, you did a fantastic job, however never have I been a fan of paint washes, and I never will be. I’m all for painting and/or staining.
I liked the leaf trim, dressed it up, too plain with that trim
Looks great and the brass looks elegant…the trend of black hardware is so commonplace in makeovers today.
You didn't have to use stripper, so a few more sanding pads doesn't seem bad (to me). I like that you showed the snags along the way. I like the end product. They're worth every penny.
Good job!!!😊🎉❤
Thank you!! 😁
Lauren that looks amazing great job. Did you discontinue the flipping show?
I also love audio books. I mostly use my library app which has saved me quite a bit of money. Chirp and Audible are my backup apps if the library doesn’t have a book I want to listen to.
yes! I also use Libby for some audio books! love them allll!
Thanks for all that learning included in today video. I do have to say I don't like the stain on this piece I would've painted the fronts and sides cos it just doesn't look right to me
different stroke for different folks (: I actually like the differentiation in the wood grain (: thanks for watching!
That’s a pine set which is soft wood as you know. There’s no maple there
I've been following your videos since you were paying off student loans. But this makeover... I would've bought it in original form with the wonderful leaf details and original hardwood finish.
Beautiful! I was surprised that furniture sets sell better. I thought the furniture set thing was a bit passé but obviously not. You have a great suggestion about using AI to stage pieces when selling them on FB Marketplace. One thing…we need an update on the Airbnb and how the store is doing!
They sold the Air BnB months ago
@@wendycampbell5099 ah! Thanks. I didn’t know that
The end result looks beautiful!
Have you considered a matte black hardware, though?
I think that could modernize them even more.
thank you! yes, I may change it out to see if that helps it sell! its crazy how much hardware can truly effect how a piece looks!
i love your videos i don’t paint or refurbish anything. i live in melbourne australia
Kincaid is popular on the east coast.
Kincaid Furniture is a division of Lazy-Boy; all solid wood ... :)
yep! that's what the drawer said!
Beautiful job on this set. 👏 I personally would prefer the original knobs, i dont love the cooler woodtone with the warm gold knobs. Save them for another set and put that $80 in your pocket! 😉
Yeah. I think trying the staining/paint,... On one pice or drawer and moving on to sanding down other pieces while the stained one is drying up would be best option for scenarios like this.
It turned out great btw.
I was going to do a stain and then I decided against it but maybe I should've done it! I am definitely considering the black hardware though!
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher oh nice! Good luck with it.
Love you from Iran ❤
Didn’t love the tone of the beige. Seemed a bit yellow to me. Maybe it’s the lighting? Soooo much hard work you did though. Great problem solving. 😊
Kincaid was a very well known brand into the early 90s. We had this dresser in 1985. This set is solid pine and was easily damaged
Its beautiful lovely and feminine. Your hard work on this set is obvious. I wouldn't lower the price at all. Come back in a few and add a touch of Decoupage to your liking? Dont forget to sign it. ❤️
My mom had this exact set. Pretty sure they were expensive and bought at Ethan Allen. The handles were square and made of same wood
I would buy that but I live too far away from you. Love it and it would be perfect in my master bedroom.
we deliver!! or we can set up shipping! email us if interested 😀 we just sold a set to a viewer recently !
I love your work! Although, I grew up with blonde furniture. I’m 51, and can’t go back to the blonde furniture. I like the pieces you do with a painted bottom, and a blonde top. I’m working on refinishing my mom’s blonde cedar chest. But it won’t be blonde. Someone will fall in love with your set, I’m sure😊
Go for Bay Leaf Green
Very popular here
I wish i live nearby so i could buy your restored furniture ❤
Don’t think the colour suits the style
Beige wash needs a really modern shape in my opinion- I think the original hardware would look better with this colour maybe
Poplar isn't having a density like you described. It is a very fast growing hardwood with a low density (it is very light compared with maple, oak, cherry etc). It is generally the cheapest hardwood variety and is good for paint grade work and exceeds quality of plywood or mdf. If you want it to be natural it isn't exactly one of those natural or stain worthy woods.
I understand your point, but I love the leaves.
Considered black handles??? I think the gold ones make the set look more peachy coloured.
i am considering changing them out! thanks for the thought!
Are you keeping any of your sanding dust to mix with wood glue for wood filler?
It’s beautiful, try black handles
I have wondered for a long time if I was the only one using so much Sand paper
Your workmanship is so beautiful.
No worries there.
Since you asked in the title, I'm not loving the colour.
The furniture looks boring and like something I would see in a low quality cheap furniture shop. Bland.
It looks like something you could buy anywhere.
I'm not a beige fan. Nor do I like grey.
If that set was in an Antique French white painted furniture style
I would be interested. 😉
Have a look at how gorgeous that style is and I know people will buy that look.
White also fits in more with alot more decor than beige.
I know some people live in a beige world or a grey world but other people want something with charm.
I actually like the original detail you covered up with that aweful strip of wood. Now the piece has lost it's charm. Just my opinion of course and we all differ.
I don't know what this set is missing.
Maybe the wow factor. It just doesn't pop and speak to me.
But don't get discouraged by feedback. Hopefully the furniture will sell to the right buyer.
Even though you know how much you spent on everything and all the time involved to justify your asking price, people don't sit and think about all that.
They will buy what they love at the right price for their budget.
They are not sitting and deeply thinking.. oh, the lady bought the furniture second hand for 300 dollars. Then worked on it to sell it on.
Then add in all the extra costs for everything used to get the furniture to where it is now. Then sit and think about all the time it took you.
And that you must make a profit. You don't work for free, you have bills to pay.
People don't think that far.
I had my own business, I know people had no idea how back breaking, costly and time consuming it was to bring them garments from overseas.
I travelled and did all the work.
People would come into my shop and think everything magically looked beautifully presented with a magic wand.
And if furniture is an awkward colour at a higher price point, it isn't going to fly out the door. I hope the set sells very soon for you. Despite everything I said, there is a lid for every pot as they say.
Someone out there is going to like and buy the set that is looking for beige.
