Great tips and tricks, and thanks for keeping in the mistakes, it makes me feel better about my mistakes. You basically turned the latex paint into chalk paint, great tip!
Thanks for showing your errors and how you overcame them. Looks good.
I like the corner brackets. Makes it look a little industrial/ farmhouse. Great makeover.
I love the color and Being both nightstands Will be in a Boy's Room those metal Brackets Will Not Only Protect the Corners from Rough-housing Boys BUT also Give that Industrial vibe with the deep blue Which is On trend In Boys bedrooms..I love these 🥰👍
I would have spray painted the corner hardware with gold. I don't think there's anything prettier than navy paint and gold metal accents.
Your a game changer, you really just helped me sold a big problem I was having using latex paint on furniture,
they came out very well. i like those corner brackets, perfect i think especially for a boy's / boys' room.
I admire you showing the overspray correction
They look really good with the brackets. I personally would not have painted these. But they Look brand new! Looks like you achieved the look you were going for and they look great.
I'm painting a desk that has been around for 7 or years and has taken a beating and spilled on and drawn on (it became the art desk.) But thanks for the CALCIUM CARBONATE TIP!! I love a good worn in rustic look... but only if it's from years of "gentle abuse." THANKS!
I LOVE the color. Definitely will keep in mind mixing in black to blues!
That was an excellent video!!! I have learned so much from your painting techniques. I love the result and I too would have taken the rustic hardware off and put modern gold pulls on the drawers. But for a boys room, the original hardware would be great. Can you add the calcium carbonate to paint if youre going to use just a brush or roller? Is that only for the sprayer? Great suggestion.
Love this makeover, Natalie!
They turned out great! Thank you for the tip, how to make your own chalk paint ❤it.
Love the black hardware! 😍
Thanks for your advice, I'm going to give it a go on some chairs.
Looks great! I would have left the corner brackets off as well. I add plaster of Paris to latex paint and it works out well.
That’s the question I was just about to ask but thought I’d look to see if anyone else asked first! Thanks!
Excellent video. I would have painted the brackets antique gold.
Im just curious...why do you clean it before you sand it...If you sand it wont that get rid of the dirt?
Yes I would have left off the corner black hardware! But lovely makeover. I have also used up some latex paint mixing in calcium carbonate and gotten great results. Next week I will be painting a dresser In Sage green paint I make up from left over yellow and blue latex paint. Why spend $ on new paint when this trick works well.
Oh that’s awesome to hear! I’m so glad it works for you too!
I do like my expensive paints. 🫢 But when I’m on a budget, this stuff works great!
Pretty!
Perfect for s boy’s room.
My husband painted solid wood nighstands. He scuff sanded them, then he primed them with shellac primer, then he sanded them & painted them with latex paint. He sanded and painted them with latex paint again and sanded & painted them with latex paint again. Then he sanded them and placed polyurethane over them. He used a spray gun for each step but the paint is chipping. 🙈 How can he fix it without having to start all over again? Btw: they weren’t used until 4 days later.
I like the black corner brackets. Subtle accent and good choice if for boys' room
Nice!
For those of you who add the calcium carbonate to the latex paint, are you all spraying it or can it also be brushed/rolled on? Is there a ratio to use or consistency to watch out for? I've never done this but need to use some leftover household paint before I get to splurge on the fun stuff 🙄 Thanks in advance!
Mix it well with some warm water before adding it to the paint...and you certainly can use brushes. I usually use Plaster of Paris with flat latex paint... You can use a regular top coat or wax. If you use wax make sure the paint was a flat...that will go deeper into your chalky paint and seal. The shinier the paint the less the wax will work.
The recipe for both are the same...Plaster of Paris or CC is 2 Tablespoons Calcium Carbonate Powder.
2 Tablespoons Plaster of Paris.
Tablespoons warm water.
2 cups paint.
I use an old mixer to mix the POP and water then add my paint.
@@keirgazelle2451 Wow, thank you for this!
I would have painted the brackets and pulls brass. I think that would have looked good against the dark blue.
Thanks!
Welcome!
Behr ultra is acrylic latex! It does feel different than paints that are only latex without an acrylic formula
But it didn’t stick any better than any other latex paint - without using the trick. 🤔
What if you used a primer?
@@ARayofSunlight Try valspar simplicity you’ll notice a difference 😅 just pointing out some latex paints are acrylic while some are just plain latex
I notice you didn’t smooth out the scuffs and spots that had been a bit marred prior to painting. Why was that? Does latex paint adhere any differently to wood filler?
She liked the rustic look of the wood. So I left it. It would have been a pain to fill all of that in too.
What paint do you recommend? I used to spray with chalk then switched to Valspar cabinet paint but the dry time before recoat is way too long. Now I’m back to square one.
For spraying, I like Heirloom Traditions Paint the best. It dries quick and is super durable. When sprayed, it creates a texture free finish. Here is my post about it. arayofsunlight.com/painting-furniture-with-heirloom-traditions-paint/
Your sister has great taste like you! I like it a lot.
Awe thank you so much!
I’ve been mixing calcium carbonate with latex paint to make my own chalk paint for years now. But it doesn’t mix well with trim type latex paints. Such as the emerald urethane. Or something with more gloss in it like a satin. The magnolia brand paints it doesn’t mix well with. So I always try a small bit first…. It just gets where it doesn’t spread well. Hard to explain.
Thanks for your feedback!
Emerald urethane is an alkyd paint, so that makes sense as to why it doesn’t work with that.
This latex paint was semi gloss sheen I believe. So it does work with the different sheens. I usually use flat because it’s cheaper and adheres better anyway.
I’ve never used magnolia paints though and have no knowledge about them so I couldn’t explain that one.
@@ARayofSunlight // this answer helped me. Thank you and great job
Pardon my ignorance..what is the difference between this shellac and the BIN primer? Does the shellac have less of a smell? 🙏🏻
Clear shellac is the base in BIN shellac primer.
Bin shellac has more things in it and has better bonding properties.
Clear shellac has the same smell as bin shellac though.
@@ARayofSunlight Thank you. I see there is a difference in price too...I need to spray a door that just smells awful (mix of mothballs and "old")--would the clear shellac cover odors as well as the BIN?
Can you spray shellac through your sprayer?
No, most sprayers aren’t able to spray shellac because of it’s low flash point (the temperature where it can combust).
I would have painted them a lighter color so that the hardware stands.
You must made chalk paint By adding calculator carbonate
Wood is so much prettier. Don't get people painting these kind of furniture, without ugly blemishes or whatever.
I think you make it look worse. Would have been better to restore that particular set, than paint over the natural wood. What a waste....
