Hi Shannon, the best time to find good deals on furniture for me is the last week of the month, usually people that are moving start packing and are in a rush just as the month comes to an end, that’s when they realize they have no use or no space in their new place 😅
Also the last week of the month or the first week is a good time to pick up curb furniture for the same reasons, and also thats when landlords are evicting ppl.
Shannan...You are AWESOME!!! I have used a few of your methods and paint choices and of course, your brush and roll method, and my pieces come out AWESOME!!! You are such a sweet person and so giving of your knowledge and I TRULY APPRECIATE YOU!!!
I totally agree with changing out the original hardware on a piece. Rarely do I Reuse the same hardware. New hardware can totally transform your piece and raise the asking price. Its worth spending the extra little for sure. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and the beautiful work that you do!
You are 100% right. Brush on roll off is amazing. I did it on a dresser. Then the next dresser I did I tried the opposite method. I finally went over it with a 3rd coat and went back to the roll off method. Soooo much better. Took away any brush strokes. Found it worked great if I misted with water as well. I use fusion paint and staalmeester microfibre rollers. I will never do it another way again. Would love to try Lillymoon paint. Unfortunately they do not sell it in Canada yet. Hopefully one day 🤞
Thank you for making this video! I’m learning SO much from you. I have started using your brush on/roll off technique and am getting good results, better than before. I am going to implement your tip to create what you see others like Pottery Barn doing. I often say that I’m not always so creative, but I’m REALLY good at copying! Lol
I finally got the paint on roll off painting method. I forgot a few things you had mentioned (swap out the whiz between coats) but i think i have mastered it. I have done your broom finish and it works great. Flaw hiding, yes! it works. i need to try your paint recipe. that is next. I give all my ‘bat wings’ to the restore. They love it!
Shannon you are amazing…love every one of your videos…love the brush on and roll technique…and the Sausalito finish!!!…i am determined to do it on my coffee table and end table…thank you for all that you share…I’m just an enthusiastic home diy-er that loves a high end look on a budget.
I recently did the pottery barn Sausalito finish on a dresser and I literally had 8-10 buyers in just a few hours! I know you said it is your fastest selling finish but I was so shocked when it actually happened to me! So thank you so much! Also a question, how do you go about finding interior designers to work with? Thank you for your channel, I have learned so much from watching! (I'm in Georgia as well, Northwest of Atlanta =))
Ovation paint! Valspar in the 100% acrylic. (I also use it to paint canvases lol) Your roller method. Cutting the legs into new shapes. So many things you have shared have been so beneficial! I can't wait to try your broom method. I live in the West Georgia area on the Alabama line so I'm excited at trying this method to see if they like it here. The style desires from my customers are different from North ATL, but I want to change that! Thank you. This video was helpful.
My Fave Paint is Dixie Belles Silk All in one paint ..and I Absolutely LOVE your channel and love how much information you Give us ...you're the best Shannon 🥰❣️👍
Thank you for sharing your secrets... how generous! I'm inspired to upcycle a second-hand dressing table as a first project and will see how it goes! Only problem is in UK the paint and branding are different, but you are a wealth of info. Thanks again :)
Hi Shannon, thank you for this video. The most helpful is what type of furniture is selling. I see many listings but don't really know what is truly in demand by sales. You could try to flip furniture all you want but if you are not picking the right pieces nothing is selling. Please make a video discussing what types and styles and/or wood/laminate of furniture are best.
I spent waaayyyy too many hours on a dresser. I wish I had taken your advice and tried a textured Sausalito finish or something like that. Good tips!. My favorite paint is Fusion and Melange with a Cling on brush. chef kiss!
I use a paint sprayer and your recipe. I do a high volume of furniture and used to brush or use a roller but I find the sprayer gives a more consistent finish for me and is quicker. Especially insides or lots of detail. I just use a Wagner sprayer. Love Fusion and use it for certain colors, but I enjoy the hardware store paint mostly because it's more cost effective and gives good coverage (behr paint with primer, or valspar). And the brushed glaze finish is awesome. I used to retop pieces with wood slats that had laminate tops but now I just do the glaze thing and it is magical! Always a hit with customers!
Thx Shannon helpful tips here! I especially love your brush on& roll off method! I have used it on 4 pieces so far with your recommended HGTV Ovation Plus Caviar paint (which is now impossible to get due to shortages) BUT it changed my game in that I love your brush on roll off method with acrylic paint. I have sold 2 of the 4 pieces I did this way.
Thank you so much for all your tips. Great work . Learning from you to do my flipping. I am new and learning a lot .thank you again for sharing . My fav flip furniture videos❤
Love your channel! These tips are so helpful. I'm in North Metro Atl also and cannot stand spraying when it's hot, humid, or when a bug lands in your top coat when you just sprayed. I will try your method.
I am new to refinishing and to save money (and waste), for paint I have been going through my stash of latex/ wall paint. It has been fine for all my personal pieces, even my hard traffic entryway bench (gets things thrown on it all the time). I have even used paint that is 20 years old(!!!) 😳 I do prep really well but just wanted to put this out there. After doing a lot of reading and researching I am VERY intrigued by the fancy and expensive paints but am holding off to buy. I guess I am learning the hard way!
Hi Shannon love your videos. I tried your painting brush method and struggled with the smooth finish. But please continue with the great job you are doing.
Very informative. I’m just getting started, my favorite paint it HTP (Heirloom Traditions Paint). It is a bit pricy as well, but worth it. I’ve been using some Dixie Bell, but I’m finding I don’t like having to do a topcoat or wax. Just an extra step. I’m going to look up your one step paint recipe and give it a try! 😀
PPG Paint and Valspar are made in my home state. I try to buy their products as much as possible. Support local business as much as possible. Level up: Using your one step paint recipe (Thank you by the way), instead of adding calcium carbonate, I add snap line chalk. It is already tinted with black, red, blue, yellow, or green pigments, and it is so much cheaper. Want your paint a little darker? Just add a little black snap line chalk powder. Trying to find that just right shade of pink or blue? Just add red or blue snap line chalk to white paint. Yellow and green snap line chalk make really pretty pastels.
Very good information again. You know I love fusion paint but I still have a problem with the lines and so I got a French provincial and I use your roller method but I don’t think I rolled off enough. It looks good but I should’ve rolled I should’ve cleaned off the roller like you do and it would’ve gotten flatter. I also have a problem with perfectionism a little OCD so I end up one dresser I took out the paint four times I think five times so anyway once I try to fight that I think I’ll be a lot better but thank you so very much for all your great information. ❤
great video, very helpful. i like behr chalk paint, the coverage is great, affordable and out of all the chalk paints i tried it has a soft buttery smooth finish. waverly is also a good paint and runs around $12 in my area
My kitchen cabinet painter used enamel paint from Benjamin Moore. She couldn’t get Sherwin Williams but the other stuff was great. Thanks for all your tips!
I love your faux finishes. I have laminate dining table trying to make look like wood. After ordering dixie belle paint in sawmill gravy and French linen color I have no idea which to use as base color. I’d like to do a glaze on top with your deck brush method. Is there a glaze you’d recommend to try to get close to your pottery barn look? I’m clueless. Thanks

Thank you so much for your videos? How do you determine whether you are going to go with you one step paint or paint and wax or clear coat?
My kitchen cabinet painter used enamel paint from Benjamin Moore. She couldn’t get Sherwin Williams but the other stuff was great. Thanks for all your tips!
Learned so much!

She used a glaze in the color Java. Her next video she posted of her new table shows the brand.
Great video! Thank you!
You are so sweet & a pleaaure to watch. Keep up the great work!
Great info!!!
Great video TY!!!!!!
What do you recommend adding to your 3 step paint for self leveling? Also what procedure were you referring to for wood graining?
Floetral is good

💖Thank-You 💖
Great overview! Do you mind sharing where you are having success marketing/selling your pieces?
Facebook marketplace is my best place so far, instagram and facebook business page can be good after a few years of selling and creating a customer base
Have you tried Heirloom Traditions All in One Paint? They sometimes have them on sale for $25 per quart.
Can you teach us how to fix a piece that is already painted? I don't know how to strip the paint and stiff :(
I’ve heard complaints that the Valspar Cabinet and Furniture paint chips easily. Is your experience different?
What sprayer did you use if you can please tell me. Thanks Rick
the purple one from harbor freight, gravity fed with an air compressor
What type of mat clear out? Thanks
Yeah I was wondering that also
I use any brand of matte water based polyurethane, this video shows how I do it th-cam.com/video/ycxzn5F5HRM/w-d-xo.html
