I can't believe you did this piece! My daughter has this dresser and nightstand! It was mine when I was 12! And it looks horrible. So I can't wait to use your exact process to redo it!!! Thank you so much! That's awesome! 💜
I used latex paint and I use the clear spray shellac first then paint and top coats. My pieces last forever. You do what works for you!!! Love your videos
There's a couple problems that furniture painters have with latex paint. One is that it doesn't age well, it will peel instead of chip as it experiences life's little dings and mishaps. The other is that latex has to be stripped because trying to sand for refinishing is a nightmare. Now, there's no reason that using latex paint following the prep steps you did wouldn't be perfectly fine on cheap pieces of furniture like MDF, laminates etc... I think your piece turned out beautifully. 😍
I totally agree with what you said about latex paint and your work speaks for itself. I would never spend $20 for an 8 oz container of a very popular chalk-mineral paint when I can get a sample of high quality paint from BEHR for $3.98-$4.98. I use it all the time and it has never failed me.
Right?! I definitely enjoy using all types of brands but it’s hard to beat the easy to find, inexpensive Behr! I’m in Home Depot 2x a week already haha 😆
Love your laid back style and personality, you are just so nice and down to earth . Just like most of us working out of houses and garages! You are a gem and love your videos!
This was exactly what I was looking for! My daughter's childhood dresser is from Pottery Barn but it's a mess and it's white so I wanted to make it look wood to match my antique armoire and my other furniture so I'll def. give this a try and take a pic if it turns out good!
Hi Shannon, another quality job, great finish and yes I like the dry brush technique done before the topcoat, it adds a bit more flair, and with the whisk brushing makes it 5 stars.
Question: if I use a darker paint to achieve more of a rustic brown piece, would the "Java Brown" glaze still work, or would I need to go for a darker glaze, too? I'm trying to figure out how much the glaze color really impacts the outcome or if it's the base color that matters most. Thanks, in advance!!! Obsessed with your channel and your techniques. 🤯
It will work. Just use a thicker layer of the glaze. I re did my girly dresser from when I was 10..I use it in my sons room. Turned out amazing. I used the color misson brown by behr
Impressive results, love the video, thanks for sharing. I am in the UK and cannot get hold of Behr paint nor the Rust-Oleum Transformation Decorative Glaze. Will just have to buy products here and do some testing until I come up with a recipe!
Did that dresser have a laminate top? I have a set of nine dressers very similar to that. Same top, same hardware, similar style. Mine are from the 1970's and they are painted a light olive green with off white pinstripes and off white laminate top. Keep up the good work, I greatly appreciate all the time and effort you put into producing these videos.
Most people don't like latex paint for furniture because it never seems like it is fully cured and durable. The top coat makes all the difference. Sorry I am not a fan of the weird horizontal graining of the sides. The rest is very nice though. You should try the dark aging wax over the topcoat, I think you will like it. That has to go on LAST because no topcoat will stick to wax. Thanks.
The results are awesome. I love your teaching technique! Thanks for a great video. Now I'm wondering if I should use this for my pine dressers rather than white wash? Hmmmm...decisions, decisions.
Hi! I just finished repainting a king size bed frame and two dressers in this finish all from this video. It turned out amazing! Wonderful tips. I followed every single thing all the colors and the brushes. So thank you! The dressers that I repainted or older dressers with wood drawers. But they opened OK. I went ahead and rubbed soap on them before putting it all back together thinking that would only make them a little smoother to open. However I’m not sure if it’s actually worse. But the problem I’m really messaging you about is the drawers seem to be sticking together. I did not put soap in between the top and bottom of the outside of the drawers… I don’t know if it’s because there’s paint there and if I should send that down or if I should put soap there as well. So when I open one drawer it’s actually pulling out a second drawer. I sure would appreciate your expertise and help
I’m glad you like the finish!! I would try using some wax like they sell in the can at home improvement stores, either Minwax from Lowe’s natural color or Varathane from Home Depot. If they are still sticking you will have to sand either the drawer or the inside of the dresser opening or both in some cases. Hope that helps!
Your husband's tool is called a lock wrench. I learned thanks to Grandpa letting me watch him in his shop and being patient with all my questions. Thanks for sharing your techniques. I love all of the fabulous furniture you repurpose and enjoy your upbeat personality and confidence. Keep it up!
I just found your channel this week! I thought my coffee table was solid wood, but discovered while sanding that it was not...anyways, searching TH-cam brought me to you, and I just finished the top coat today and I love it! Thanks so much! Mine turned out slightly darker, so next time I will try to go lighter on the glaze.
Hey Shannon, I actually saved this tutorial, thanks for doing the homework on which tan works better; the wrench is actually called locking adjustable pliers lol; and I do love the dry brushing, (ps. My husband is very ocd about placing “his tools” where they belong too 😂 they don’t understand that after repairs we just want to paint and organizing the tools is not a priority 😂
Sooo, I made a mistake. I painted my large desk using the whisk brush THEN then deck brush. The result is that it came out with much more texture. It doesn't look bad, just a little . . . splotchy. Do you think I could do another coat of glaze, using the brushes in the correct order? It has dried for 24 hours. Thanks so much for your channel!
We are finishing up a basement on a budget. The stairs are just plywood risers and pine steps. Anyone used this technique on stairs? Then I thought we could put carpet treads for safety. Any ideas?
I agree with you 1,000% I use the exact same latex paint that you do I stopped using chalk paint years ago. I would rather prime and use latex pain that you use chalk paint and spend exorbitant amount of money on a small jar of paint. so if you're outcast in the furniture business so am I. LOL
Looks great Shannon! I have this same dresser and the matching long dresser to go with it and I've been trying to decide on a finish and this might be it! Quick question: for your deck brush and whisk broom, do you wash them out afterwards? I just didn't know if the glaze and paint would get thick in the bristles.
No 👏👏 that is a short cut I love doing when the ppl at the counter will tint my primer, I also have mixed half and half to move things along faster and looks just as good even if not a perfect match to pottery barn
I’m in process of doing a chest just did primer today.would you PLEASE tell me if you did one or two coats of paint before doing the glaze.Appreciate if you could get back to me asap.
Hi Shannon! Thank you for all your hard work and educating us. Got a question for you I did this exact process with a Buffet top. But all of the products you suggested. When I go to apply the glaze and wipe back with the deck brush I get little bubbles almost like oil bubbles that I cannot smooth out and dry that way I have done this now on two projects and I’ve had the same result. Can you guess what is going on? I have been refinishing for quite a while so I am cleaning appropriately and it’s almost like the glaze is reacting to the paint in someway and does his little bubble marks??
Many paints contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which refers to a class of chemicals that evaporate readily at room temperature. When these VOCs off-gas, a process that can last for weeks depending on the type of paint, they may cause a variety of health problems like nausea; dizziness; irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract; heart, lung, or kidney damage; and even cancer.
So beautiful! Do you usually sand down the furniture piece or only where you patched the holes? I have an IKEA hemnes stained dresser and I want to refinish it in the pottery barn Sausalito style as well. Would you recommend to even sand it down? Or just buff it a bit to take the finish off? Thanks so much!!!
Hi Shannon - love this look! - thank you! Where can I submit a question to you re top coats - thinking water based for lower portion ( varathane) and oil based for table top (general finishes)
I use powder OxyClean for EVERYTHING. One of my favorite hacks is boiling a solution of Oxy in discolored cookware and just letting it sit for a while. Magic.
@blacksheephouse......yes please, what is the yellow paint color that you're dry brushing with?? That seals the deal on matching this saulsalito color :)
Definitely! I love using those on some things, but I generally use a roller after or I use the whisk broom after to blur the look a bit for a more oak wood look instead of pine. I need to do a video on that!! Great question
That has turned out to look so expensive ,you are very talented I am in Australia I wish I could come to your house & you could teach me how to do this, I am just not sure about the products as we obviously have different paints & names but when I go buy my paint I will bring your video so I can explain, omg !can you imagine what they will think here comes a lady that going to drive me nuts & that last yellow paint is that just a normal paint you add & wipe it dry brushing I still need to come over 😂but you have made that piece look lovely 😊🌻i will watch more videos as I just found your you tube ch 😊

Would you recommend primarily water (or chalk/mineral) based products? TIA 😊
@@lucettacole4617 she doesn’t like chalk paint & no longer uses it for any of her projects
What a stunning piece!! And I love that you don’t try to cover any silence with music. That always puts me to sleep. Lol
I don like videos that use music either.
I think the Chester drawers looks gorgeous love the texture
THank you!!
Centerfold of a Pottery Barn magazine! you are killing me girl!!! 😂
Haha!! Love it!
I really appreciate you sharing your painting techniques! Love your finished product.

Awesome! You’re always so supportive 🥰 haha and yes, the husbands need to understand we are “in the zone” 😂
The correct name for the tool is Vice Grips
@@yvonnem.langlois5197 I was just going to say Vice Grips too
Have you done this technique with white paint underneath instead of tan or brown? I’m curious..
Sooo, I made a mistake. I painted my large desk using the whisk brush THEN then deck brush. The result is that it came out with much more texture. It doesn't look bad, just a little . . . splotchy. Do you think I could do another coat of glaze, using the brushes in the correct order? It has dried for 24 hours. Thanks so much for your channel!
If I used a white glaze would it give the piece a ceruse finish?
Hi, I just found your channel and I like what I see! I’ll be subscribing immediately. That piece looks amazing.
Thank you!
I did mine in the sun and it dried too quickly and too dark. Any tips on how to strip down the glaze without completely sanding it down?
Locking Pliers is a common name for that tool.
Ahh, thanks 🙏
I will be using this technique on a project for a video and will DEFINITELY give you credit! Thank you for sharing!
Hi there! Do you wait until the piece is dry to do the yellow paint? What about the clear coat? Thank you!
Hi! Definitely wait till it’s fully dry before adding the next steps, and the glaze really takes a while to dry depending on your weather
Just found you. This is wild. I haven't seen this at all on any of the other channels. Looks amazing. Very cool!
Yay 😃
I have a six drawer dresser similar but real wood. I've been waiting to see what someone would do with the design. There's no plastic on mine.
I made your formula and it was great. I want to try a blended look I haven't seen any in your videos. have you done any blended pieces? thank you 😊
could u incorperate white stain?
Love the dry brushing. Do you dry brush on the the piece once it’s dry or when it’s still wet? Looks great
I wait until it’s dry to dry brush and if I start and notice I’m pulling off paint, I’ll wait another day
The tool is called channel locks

I like the bronze wax on black hardware better on this piece than just solid black. What paint do you recommend for kitchen cabinetry?
Me too, thanks for commenting it reallly helps my channel!!
It’s a vice grip. Bad choice. Use the right ratchet socket combo. These tools chew up the nut
What is the creamy yellow paint that you dry brush before the last step? Is it acrylic or latex or? I'm a beginner. 😁
Many paints contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which refers to a class of chemicals that evaporate readily at room temperature. When these VOCs off-gas, a process that can last for weeks depending on the type of paint, they may cause a variety of health problems like nausea; dizziness; irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract; heart, lung, or kidney damage; and even cancer.
Another beautiful piece Shannon! I really like this technique. Keep on dry brushing, it does elevate the pieces you are doing 😊
I HAD the exact piece of furniture when I was a kid my mother bought it for me in Sears in 1975
That's amazing 😊🎉
Can this still work if the base is painted black?? Thank you 💖💖
I want to lighten it up like a vintage inspired coffee table:)
So beautiful! Do you usually sand down the furniture piece or only where you patched the holes? I have an IKEA hemnes stained dresser and I want to refinish it in the pottery barn Sausalito style as well. Would you recommend to even sand it down? Or just buff it a bit to take the finish off? Thanks so much!!!
Just a light scuff sand to remove the sheen bit, then you’re good to go
Usually Lowe’s, home depo, menards all have the paint codes for most major brands:) if not you can ask Behr for the paint code
Hi Shannon - love this look! - thank you! Where can I submit a question to you re top coats - thinking water based for lower portion ( varathane) and oil based for table top (general finishes)
I use powder OxyClean for EVERYTHING. One of my favorite hacks is boiling a solution of Oxy in discolored cookware and just letting it sit for a while. Magic.
What is the color called that you dry brush on in the end?
Yes I think that’s critical.
@blacksheephouse......yes please, what is the yellow paint color that you're dry brushing with?? That seals the deal on matching this saulsalito color :)
I would like to know the dry brush color also. I looked through the comments but didn't see it? Thank you
Would this look good on a bed as well. I have a horrible shiny gray bed that literally has glitter in it….and I desperately want to redo
YES 🙌 I’ve done this on all types of furniture and it sells every time ❤️
I love this! I definitely want to try it out! Very cool!
The tool is called vice grips.
Hi Shannon, thanks for the incredible videos! Just wondering about your opinion on the wood grain pattern tool. Is that something you would use?
Definitely! I love using those on some things, but I generally use a roller after or I use the whisk broom after to blur the look a bit for a more oak wood look instead of pine. I need to do a video on that!! Great question
Could you please do a piece with a grey tint? You know like drift wood?
What was the brand and color of the yellow paint you used last on this piece?
That has turned out to look so expensive ,you are very talented I am in Australia I wish I could come to your house & you could teach me how to do this, I am just not sure about the products as we obviously have different paints & names but when I go buy my paint I will bring your video so I can explain, omg !can you imagine what they will think here comes a lady that going to drive me nuts & that last yellow paint is that just a normal paint you add & wipe it dry brushing I still need to come over 😂but you have made that piece look lovely 😊🌻i will watch more videos as I just found your you tube ch 😊
