    What a transformation!! Looks like completely different furniture and no one would ever guess that’s laminate furniture. When I first started painting furniture (in my own home) I learned everything from the awesome Kacha and only painted with Annie Sloan, including her waxes (both sealing with clear and dark wax). Before I discovered synthetic brushes, I only used natural bristle brushes and still had really smooth finishes. I was so thrilled to learn this month that we can finally order her paints online! The one retailer near me is still a good distance from my house, so this is super convenient! Thx for this video, really beautiful pieces!💜

    • @KnowCanDo
      @KnowCanDo  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

I had to turn off the audio for a bunch of clips because Seinfeld was in the background 😂 I don't mind, but I'd probably get in trouble with TH-cam for it!!! I have been "watching" (let's face it: listening) to sooo much Seinfeld this past month while painting! :) Glad you can appreciate it too ha!

    I do like Annie Sloan chalk paint. Goes on very well and no brush marks. I used it on kitchen cabinet in fact with general finish poly and holds up well, not as durable as probably dedicated cabinet paints but not bad.

    Just one comment/question. I keep seeing people using wax on these pieces BUT I bought a pint at my local hardware store to try and it says you have to reapply it every 6 months. I don't like this idea at all. Is all furniture wax like thus or are there brands that don't have to be reapplied?

    Laminate furniture is ideal for painting. It provides a stable substrate and holds paint well when properly scuffed up. Best of all it’s so ugly that it needs to be covered up. No one’s going to bag on you for painting it.
