    So lovely! While the distressed look isn’t my personal aesthetic, you elevated the refurb to an art form. And I really like the concept of the pieces being a set. Like Clinton and Stacy always said, the pieces don’t have to match; they just have to go [together]! Well done! You are very gifted at your craft!

      I think people are staying away from a perfect match these days anyway. Thank you so much for your kind words, and not sure why but I agree with you, the bronze metal paint instead of an actual distressed does elevate the look.

    I will admit, I had my doubts when you started dabbing on the gray paint, but then adding that copper color really did it! I have never seen this finishing touch done before but I think maybe we will really start seeing it😊 Nice job!

      I was thinking the same thing! I love what furniture can remind us of- sometimes just a little more work and patience can bring amazing things. Another great job, Wallessa!

      @@alexandra_sa_lazer Let me tell you, refinishing reminds me of that daily! It teaches me to persevere, to push through all the frustrations, and to find patience even when I think I have none left. It makes me a better human all around. And that's why Im here. ☺

    Beautiful job! I love that they aren’t exactly the same, their sisters, not twins! 😍Makes them more interesting to look at in my opinion. 👏🏻👏🏻

      I like that, sisters, not twins. After all, it would be boring if we were all the same. 😊

    I was struggling to see how you would be able to tie this together to make a matching set. But you nailed it! I really love how they turned out. And I love the silver and bronze around the edges. It wasn’t in your face and too much. Just enough to really make the piece pop. Looks amazing.

    • @aliferefurbished
      @aliferefurbished  ปีที่แล้ว

      The “minor” changes that took me into a roller coaster of emotions we’re thankfully enough to make them look like sisters. 😊 And yes, I’m usually on the conservative side when I try techniques, that’s just me. Glad you enjoyed it!

      Glad you like it, it’s not until the application of the bronze color that the transformation looks like the inspo piece. I see why you were skeptical. 😊

    This is my first time watching your channel. I enjoyed it! Great work!
    Dixie Belle paint is a bit thicker but it allows you to use less paint and reduces paint strokes when using a mister bottle with a brush. I also add slightly more water with my sprayer. Fortunately, the pigment stays strong and there is less over spray.
    Thank you for an informative video. I subscribed.😊

      @aliferefurbished  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Welcome, glad you decided to join us in all the fun! And you’re right, even diluted, the paint kept it’s pigments which I was glad to see. It felt a bit grainy, but I know that’s typical for chalk paint and I was ok with that since this was a Farmhouse style.

    I'm working on a piece now that I primed with shellac, but it made the surface too slick and the paint didn't stick. I ended up having to sand it all back off. Has this ever happened to you? Wondering what I did wrong since I've primed with shellac before and that didn't happen.

    • @aliferefurbished
      @aliferefurbished  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Normally, I scuff sand the shellac but I wait 1 hr before doing so. That gets rid of the glossiness. Humidity and high temps can affect the way it cures.
