I’ve watched a dozen videos before tackling an old table I want to paint. Yours was the most detailed and informative. By a long shot. Keep up the good work.
Than you for getting down to business and sticking to the subject. I was given a broken particleboard dresser that I pained but added a wood grain appearance by streaking the paint with thicker and thinner brush strokes. Very satisfied with the results and most visitors think it’s wood.
Love this video! I really want to re-paint my small dining table from black to white, but I did not know where to start... I have one suggestion: I would love to see under the video a list of the products you used - like type of paint, wax, primer, top coat, etc. Even if it is important what type of brushes/rollers is good to use with which kind of products. I am a beginner and all this will help tremendously! Thank you so much for the simple video!
Thank you so much for the information!!!! I've been looking for a great beginners video and then I found yours! It was more helpful to me than anything else I've watched!!! :) thanks!
We love your outtakes we think they complete your videos and brings them to life. They give you a feel of your true character, they also make us feel like they bring out your charm. Thank you so much for your genuine efforts and allowing us to share your great ideas from your perspective. keep inspiring us and this coming from a person that suffers from depression. we also thank the ones behind the scenes which we don't usually get to see.
Looking for pro paint stuff as I move from brushing to spraying and the algorithm displayed this. Watched it and a few more of your videos. Great work, truly well done. You just earned a sub!
Beautiful tutorial! On a side note in the beginning I heard you say, "Hi I'm here in Spain" and I was like "okkaay?" Then I realized that was your name 🤣 thought you'd find that funny!
Painting my first piece today. So glad I found you! I think my favorite part of the videos are the "out takes" lol... it reminds me of why I don't do videos, mine would only be out takes lol. Thanks so much
Finally, the video I’ve been looking for! I had an idea of what to do, but I needed to see it! And all these other videos, they didn’t send in between and I wanted to see a video where someone sands in between so thank you!!! How long does it typically take for the paint to dry so you can send it for your next coat ?
Thank you we actually pented book selves and nest of tables with Matt paint . We had to do at least 2 coats. Wish we had done a gloss now. We waxed them but not made any difference. X
Thank you! I’ve got an old dresser that needs some TLC. Plus I’ve painted room a beautiful barrier reef color (blue), and my dresser is hand made from almost 40yrs ago & its dark… want my room to lighter colored furniture. ☺️
Thank you for the great video. And its good to know the purpose of sanding, waxing etc like you mention. I was getting stressed because I was unable to sand properly on some tiny crevices. Let's see how it goes :)
Just found your how to paint furniture video...to paint a dresser I just bought..crazy..but it is the same dresser you painted in the royal blue color. A 1964 Thomasville dresser with the spade handles.
Oh thanks so much for this video I have a piece of furniture that’s all wood but unfortunately it was not taken care of very well and I found it at Goodwill. I’ve been trying to figure out how I want to paint this in this video was very helpful.
Great tips! I love painting furniture and I've tried to help clients see the potential and possibilities a can of paint can do for a piece. I think we have the same DIY zeal so it will be a delight to follow your journey!
I've watched several videos on how to paint furniture. I must say your video is the simplest of all EMPHASIZING that you don't need to completely sand off the finish just slightly sand so the paint adheres. Yasss I love that, because it would be too much for me to move the furniture outdoors to use a sander.. Now, after watching this i will begin my project with CONFIDENCE LOL... THANKS A BUNCH
I don't recommend using matte finish on furniture as it's incredibly difficult to clean. If you're going to do a matte finish I would use chalk finish paint and seal it with furniture wax.
I enjoyed the video very much - but I have to admit, I hit the "subscribe" button only after watching the outtakes!! There are a lot of how-to videos out there, putting the outtakes in and letting us get to know the real you made me want more!! Thanks again! I just painted a bed and the end tables using chalk paint, wax and polycrylic, but I really want to do something a little different for the two dressers so am considering a satin paint instead. I am a bit discouraged that using the satin paint doesn't remove the wax/polycrylic step, so I may just continue with the chalk paint. Any thoughts???
Thank you! As for the paint I think it ultimately depends on what type of look you’re going for. Chalk paint is great for a more matte finish or farmhouse/rustic look, as it’s easy to distress. Satin gives more of a sheen and I’ve found it tends to be easier to clean. It’s all about personal preference!
This is a video. I watched it before painting a used desk. It came out great for my first time painting! It was actually therapeutic. I'd insert a pic of it if YT allowed it. Thank you!
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing. I am going to paint my breakfast table and wasn't sure how to do it properly. Your video will be very helpful. 😊
What grit sandpaper did you use and was it the same for all of the sanding? How long did the last coat dry before the topcoat was applied? How long was the final cure time before using? TIA?
Oh wow...so glad I found this. I have been researching for DAYS on how to paint furniture, but they have all been using chalk paint. I didn't want to use that being as it is expensive and hard to get the color I want to use. I finally found your video, and having EACH STEP LISTED and showing how you do it also is going to be so helpful!!!!! I will definitely be using your video to paint my bedroom furniture. I am tempted to use a spayer, but like you I don't think I want to worry about the clean up and the extra paint that might be getting on other things in my garage. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP. I am super nervous about doing this, but will get it done with your help!!!
this has been the clearest video of how to paint furinture. preparing for my first project i appreciate it! thank yoUu!
Happy to help! Good luck!

Thanks for a video that's attainable by those of us without a garage full of tools! Happy to see that I can use a simple sanding sponge.
I love watching magicians demonstrate their craft. Even though I have no reason to be here, I enjoyed the whole vid. Thanks!

I have a wood piece that has previously been painted. Is it OK to leave the old paint on?
Wished i watched this video first, my arm is about to fall off 😭

Oh yeah no need to sand too much! Just roughing it up is good enough.
Thank you very helpful
I am glad I watched because I was about to just start painting with my new color paint. You saved my project! :)

had to like this just for the outtakes
Great video, a question though, why use satin or semi gloss paint if you then put a top coat over it?
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing. I am going to paint my breakfast table and wasn't sure how to do it properly. Your video will be very helpful. 😊
Laurie Crose Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!
What grit sandpaper did you use and was it the same for all of the sanding? How long did the last coat dry before the topcoat was applied?
How long was the final cure time before using?
TIA?
thank you for this! this is v helpful
Love the video. I learn something new every time....! 🤗
