What are your BEST paint FAIL stories?? You can order Lilly Moon Paint Here: shorturl.at/fjqHY I used the color Foliage and Stellar Shield Top Coat. Save 10%! Use Code: Lemons
I have had a number of problems but, " chippy ", is the worst lol. Thanks for leaving in the, " fails " too Kara. It gives those of us who struggle a little more confidence.
I’ve had a few bleed thru pieces due to not priming it thinking it didn’t need it. When questioning it, do it. You don’t want to have to start over and waste time and supplies!! Lol.
Biggest fail was decoupaging a large poster onto a dresser I painted. Glued the drawers shut and took me two days to carefully cut open as to save the poster!
I have quite a few! Maybe my biggest was a walnut piece that I had great difficulty with bleed through despite primer and all in one paints. It did turn out beautiful but what a pain!
I really like that color. It can go with so many different color schemes. Great flip even with the milk pain debacle. I really thought the problem was going to be a heat related problem with this Texas heat we are having 😂. Great flip ❤
Wow! I have never used milk paint before but thank you for showing us. I like some chip but not that much!I'm a bit intimidated by it. Maybe one day I'll use it. Nice work tho! Love all your flips!
Couple questions..notice no "real" protection of garage floor while painting? So no over spraying with gravity sprayer And no dust catching while sanding? No sanding between coats
I mostly paint with water based paint because it's odourless. However, I learned the hard way to never paint on a rainy day! It won't dry properly and you won't get a smooth surface. Some stains have this problem too...the result is hideous 🫣🇳🇱
Biggest paint fail wasn’t on furniture. I have four pocket doors in my home. I didn’t scuff sand or prime before painting & once my huge Saint Bernards scratched the doors, the paint peeled off in sheets. Ugh. My family was up to our eyeballs in credit & medical debt & getting that paid off was a loving act for our entire family. Glad you and your loved ones are free, too. I am a fan of your blue rainbow shirt. Do you remember how you got it?
Thank you for sharing your content. I’m very new to the furniture flipping game and would love to know strategies for marketing my work. I am in a Dallas area suburb and was hoping you could share tips and tricks to best find buyers.
Hey Debbie! Glad you are here! I discuss a lot more of the business aspect of this over on my Patreon page. Would love to have you join us! www.patreon.com/lemonstolemonadefurniture?
Wow, I have never seen paint do that. My paint mishaps, too numerous to mention. So big box, particle board, and that style, I never would have guessed. That muted sage color, well, you couldn't go wrong with it. I like these in every way. Wish you would have staged the bottom right shelf with some slightly colored glass bowl, but hey, good job done. Reminding myself that you know more than I do.
Well you were spot on actually!! I was on the hunt for woven baskets for the bottom but they would have eaten up all the profit so I decided to forgo that idea! I did mention it in the ad that this would look amazing with some sea grass baskets underneath for storage. Have a great week!
@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture The proof is in the puddin'. It sold fast. We might both be wrong. Did you ever sell that barbie pink desk or does your daughter still have it? I say, SELL! (for big money) Then take her to Disney World from the profits.
Looks amazing!! I'm newer to refinishing furniture. I have that same paint sprayer. Can you give any advice or tips on how to avoid paint sprayer clogging? Thank you so much!
Turned out great! I really like that color. I liked to tip on using painters tape when filling the old hardware holes. I was wondering what is your favorite stripper that isn't too stinky, that you feel works the best. I found a Heywood Wakefield table on the side of the road. Someone painted it black😢. Was hoping to strip it. It looks like it will be a pain in the you know what.
When it says “respray within 1 hour or after 24” it’s isn’t kidding. I once had an entire paint job “crinkle” because I sprayed too late/too soon. It was a mess to sand smooth and start over 😩
Thank you for your videos. I moved to College Station from Austin recently and just not sure if this is an area for painted furniture sales. Do you have any thoughts on this? Thank you
I feel like I've had so many fails painting furniture. Probably one of the worst was when the paint kept chipping off and it wasn't milk paint. I sanded it down twice I think. I think I used shellac and bonding primer because it just didn't want to stick. Made me so mad because I did the prep work of cleaning and sanding.
What IS your turn around time? I’m in the houston area and a week feels like a lifetime to sit on a peice of furniture! Do you mark down after some time and if so how long and how much?
Hi, Kara! I hope I'm getting your name right. That Wagner sprayer can be used without any type of compressor? And can you use chalk paint with it? I'm not sure what kind of paint Lily Moon is. Thank you for the info! Blessings from California.
I’m the process of fixing my paint mess up twice 😓 I’m doing a paint wash with stain on the top and I’m struggling with one end table so bad. For some reason it’s drying out on me too fast and causing it to look funky in spots. My other end table stained beautifully.
I’ve had an entry table same before and after color as this video that won’t sell on Facebook marketplace for a month. Does style matter? Like drawers sell more? Mu refinished table has no drawers.
Oh no! I am sorry to hear that! I sell them with and without the drawers. If you get tired of sitting on it, you can try to paint it black. Black always sells.
Hey. I'm in South Texas. I just started a channel mainly flipping furniture with the same goal as you had. Paying off debts. I just don't know where to list my items and actually make some money. What an I doing wrong when it comes to selling?
Hello! I have a whole Patreon dedicated just to this! Here is the link if you are interested in checking it out! Would love to have you! tinyurl.com/9hnf6zdv
My issue is a paint color that I bought yesterday for a french provincial night stand that should have been close to your color on this table but instead looks more like sea foam green 😠 Flash back to the 1980s 😢
Question! I have an executive desk with these types of pulls. I wasn't able to remove them. I tapped up when staining and used a gold guilding cream. It's there a way to remove them to really clean well?
Sometimes I do quick flips just to stage and sell but my area really loves the whole painted furniture thing sooo painting it is! Hope your doing well Grammy Bear!
I haven’t tried a sprayer yet, can I ask what you do with it between coats? Do you have to clean the whole thing out or can you put the tip (I think it’s called in water) and leave paint in the spray container??

Thank you! This is a learning curve for sure!!
Loved the way the entryway table turned out. That color was a great choice.
Thank you! It was a quick sell!
I’ve had a few bleed thru pieces due to not priming it thinking it didn’t need it. When questioning it, do it. You don’t want to have to start over and waste time and supplies!! Lol.
Exactly!!

Oh no!!!!
Beautiful job, Kara❤
You need to protect your eyes!!!!
Thank you for your advise and know how…. Teaching me, I’m here for it..
This turned out great!!
I really want that paint sprayer!!
Great color
You are really smart the pieces turned out professional
Thank you so much!
Love the entry table. I have certainly had my fair share of issues whilst learning and still do!
I have quite a few! Maybe my biggest was a walnut piece that I had great difficulty with bleed through despite primer and all in one paints. It did turn out beautiful but what a pain!
I feel your pain!! Lol I did a pine dresser that we kept…primer 3xs…bled thru a month later!!
Beautiful 😍 what can you do if you want to restore furniture but don’t want to paint over it?
Wow!
I really like that color. It can go with so many different color schemes. Great flip even with the milk pain debacle. I really thought the problem was going to be a heat related problem with this Texas heat we are having 😂. Great flip ❤
Thanks so much! Yea seems like this month it could have been the heat!! Lol
Kara❤I’m loving that soft green/gray color!!! Loving your furry baby “quality control” too🐶💓🐶
Yay! Thank you!
We love that color you chose! What a beautiful transformation 😍
Thank you 🤗
I love how you spray while sitting in your chair 😂 I do the same! Good job girly! Looks amazing! ❤
Yes! Thank you! lol
Good job it's beautiful I love it
Thank you! 😊
Wow! I have never used milk paint before but thank you for showing us. I like some chip but not that much!I'm a bit intimidated by it. Maybe one day I'll use it. Nice work tho! Love all your flips!
Thank you! I’ll use it again but I’ll def invest in the bonding agent!
Couple questions..notice no "real" protection of garage floor while painting? So no over spraying with gravity sprayer And no dust catching while sanding? No sanding between coats
Love the color. Beautiful makeover🎉🎉🎉
I mostly paint with water based paint because it's odourless. However, I learned the hard way to never paint on a rainy day! It won't dry properly and you won't get a smooth surface. Some stains have this problem too...the result is hideous 🫣🇳🇱
Looks very pretty. I like it.
Thank you! 😊
❤. Another beauty!! Thanks for being real with us. 🤭😋😘- Jill
Always! lol
Looks great Kara!!
Really nice. Ty.
Glad you like it!

Thank you my shirt is from the thrift store ;)

Looks 💯 better! ❤
What is your setup while using this spray gun? Air settings etc. you seem to have no overspray! Looks great!
Yes, what type compressor do you have? You seem to be able to paint so easily, Thanks ahead of time!

Thanks for keeping it real with the ‘fail’ 😅
Any time! Lol

Hello, love watching you. May I ask where you got your gravity fed paint sprayer?
Hello! I got it from Harbor Freight.
Looks great! ❤
Thank you! 😄
Thank you for your videos. I moved to College Station from Austin recently and just not sure if this is an area for painted furniture sales. Do you have any thoughts on this? Thank you

Thanks for watching! No you do not need a compressor for the Wagner. Just plug it in! Water based paint is perfect for it!
I’m the process of fixing my paint mess up twice 😓 I’m doing a paint wash with stain on the top and I’m struggling with one end table so bad. For some reason it’s drying out on me too fast and causing it to look funky in spots. My other end table stained beautifully.
Ugh I have dealt with that too!! It’s so hard when you have two surfaces you have to match!
I’ve had an entry table same before and after color as this video that won’t sell on Facebook marketplace for a month. Does style matter? Like drawers sell more? Mu refinished table has no drawers.
Oh no! I am sorry to hear that! I sell them with and without the drawers. If you get tired of sitting on it, you can try to paint it black. Black always sells.
Well that's a lot of chipping. Turned out beautiful
It sure was!! 😂
Beautiful work. Question; do you have to dilute the paint in the sprayer?
Depends on the paint. This one I do not.
Do you ever paint the undersides of your pieces? Ty
Not usually.
Hey. I'm in South Texas. I just started a channel mainly flipping furniture with the same goal as you had. Paying off debts. I just don't know where to list my items and actually make some money. What an I doing wrong when it comes to selling?

I'm not seeing your link for sprayers
Here it is! Thanks! amzn.to/45aCmWJ
My issue is a paint color that I bought yesterday for a french provincial night stand that should have been close to your color on this table but instead looks more like sea foam green 😠 Flash back to the 1980s 😢
Oh no! I’ve had that happen too!! It’s so frustrating!!
Question! I have an executive desk with these types of pulls.
I wasn't able to remove them. I tapped up when staining and used a gold guilding cream. It's there a way to remove them to really clean well?
I find that they are usually nailed on with very small nails so that is why I had to use my upholstery tool to remove these.
Do you ever not paint? l love your channel but prefer seeing natural wood grain sometimes.
Sometimes I do quick flips just to stage and sell but my area really loves the whole painted furniture thing sooo painting it is! Hope your doing well Grammy Bear!
I haven’t tried a sprayer yet, can I ask what you do with it between coats? Do you have to clean the whole thing out or can you put the tip (I think it’s called in water) and leave paint in the spray container??
Hello! I leave it in the sprayer. I only clean it out if I would have to keep it in there over night.
