I just stumbled upon your website in my search to learn how to paint my first piece of furniture. Thank you for making these videos. YOU ARE A GIFTED TEACHER and HERE is WHAT MAKES YOU A GOOD TEACHER! 1. You teach in a step by step process. 2. You explain WHY you use certain products at each step. 3. You explain HOW to apply the products. 4. You provide small details without skipping a step! Not sure if you or anyone will read my post since you already have 619 comments and this post is 2 yrs old as of August of 2023. Anyway, I have 2 old jewelry armoires and I'm combining them into one tall armoire and will put a mirror on the back of it. I've primed it already and am discovering all these cool painting techniques etc. I think I will practice on something else before I tackle this large project so I don't screw it up.
You are amazing!! Luv yer personal style, your teaching methods and your furniture!! I will learn to paint (like) you, I will learn to paint (like) you, I will learn to paint (like) you...🙂
I Love Silver Gilding Wax. I will put that wax on everything. Thanks for the inspiration. Now I want to put bright blood red inside all the drawers on that giant fav size furniture. Happy Zone.
I just love it! I'm a newbie flipping furniture concerned. I'm so looking forward to be able to blend colors! Your video helped me a lot, gonna give it a go now. Thanks you Love all the way from Portugal ❤
OMG...... The top drawer has the appearance of lace in a way.... Absolutely Gorgeous. Just love this piece...of course I love it, I love all your work. I am an old bird, I mean OLD bird, thank goodness for replay of the vids. I sometimes can’t remember everything. Going to do my kitchen table,(second time) my bedroom dresser....and anything else I can get my arthritis fingers on....lol. (See my Avitar....old). Love ❤️ 💗
You Lady!! You rocks!! Lately I been digging into this "hobby","craft" and from most of the you tubers I think you are the best. Thank you for your advices!! Have a great day!!!
Beautiful tall dresser. Thank You for all the helpful hints. I would love to see how you painted the bed to match. I am in the process of blending on a beautiful,old Queen bed w Lots of texture.
I hadn't really found a purpose for ez-pz, but when you mention using it as a 'priming wax' it makes so much sense - especially in this context! Thanks G
This is your art!! you can teach show your secrets but not all will be able to do like you!! Thank you 🙏 its like cooking or baking people can share recipes but still will not be same Best Wishes🙏❤️☮️
What a gorgeous piece of furniture! I'm constantly amazed at how you don't get paint all over the floor and yourself. I would never dare paint without a dropcloth and my official "painting clothes".
hahahahah it's an illusion lol...the floor is a laminate so I razor blade it after every project and scrub it will an S.O.S pad lol 😆 😂 Don't let me fool you :)
Crys’Dawna I just refinished the exact same hi boy as this one. It was by the street left for garbage 😮. I love the feet on this big boy. I painted chiffon cream, brown wax and metallic cream as per request from my customer.
I am partial to black furniture, but this transformation is 100 times BETTER! Whoever owns this furniture is lucky! Great job and cannot wait to see the other zillion pieces!
I have a dining room set that is massive. It also has a mix of the solid wood and molded plastic. I was trying to find something that would work, this video was perfect!!
I have a large 80 year old bedroom set from a loved aunt who passed. The furniture is also very ornate and very damaged. The veneer has separated in spots because of water damage and very dried flaky finish that I would to work on. You gave me very good start. Your pieces just beautiful. A huge Improvement
Bella, I’ve never used the white primer you are using, I always use TSP, trans sodium phosphate, and it readies any surface for painting without sanding I’ve used it for over 25 years. It’s pretty cool.
I so want to do this on these Oval Curios I scored at an estate sale. Gorgeeeeeous! You keep me inspired and make me believe i can do it. Thanks Crys'Dawna!~
Once again another beautiful piece. I don't normally like gray, but you have made me love this piece. You have brought out the beauty of this very LARGE piece. Besides the fact it's so calming to watch you transform an ordinary piece of furniture into a show stopper.
My favorite colors, including the silver, it has given me some ideas for a rather large 80's solid oak entertainment center i have planned to redo. Not sure if i want to keep the stain glass doors. Love this color grouping. And dixie bell is my fav.
You are a hoot, I wouldn't miss one of your videos. I save them all in for future reference and always...great ideas. Have a wonderful weekend. Don't work to hard.
Amazing finish on a big piece! It will be such an elegant statement to the room it will be in. The guilding wax at end took it to the next level of professional. It's always those little details that make the biggest differences!
Oh my!! You have out done yourself!!! It helps that the piece itself is AMAZING!!!! But, the colors, the blending and the finish of gilding wax, is STUNNING!!!! I LOVE IT!!!♥️
The transformation is so lovely. I appreciate how much detail you bring out by using the lighter color on such dark wood. Thank you. I have been gone and missed your teaching.
I have a similar piece that I purchased and didn’t know quite what to do... it has the ornate corners and legs... I’m new and still learning... your blending technique looks pretty foolproof using your blending brush and water. I feel pretty confident that I could (hopefully) make mine as cool as yours. Thanks for the tip with the Gator Hide... I love using it but I put the gilding wax on and then gator hide.... I will reverse that in the future... as Always love your talent... thanks for sharing and Stay Safe... Peace 💜
I've never used wax, but I love how it minimized the piece and accentuated it's features. Your blending is mesmerizing!! I have 3 DB grey's so I'll try my hand @ blending. Thank you for sharing your skills. I'm a big fan...🌷🌷
Most gorgeous & fabulous! And so helpful. After making a mess of doors to a cabinet I’m currently painting, I decided to wipe the paint off and start again. In the process, the three colours I was using blended togeather and i thought to myself, “Hmmm...I like that”. I then went in search of a video on “how to blend in a more thoughtful manner for a more professional, less pail of slop finish”. As a beginner I think I might be able to pull this off ... if I keep this video close at hand while trying. Thank you! Much appreciated!
Master BLENDER, that is what you are!!!! I am IN LOVE 😍😍 with this piece. Who would have thought that it had such beautiful details. This piece is so romantic and mysterious. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Please show us as many pieces of the set as possible 😊. Your intro cracked me up!
Such an impressive piece of furniture to be working on, the detail couldn't be seen hardly at all, then you set to work with your magical flare,🤩🌈🔥💧⚡🪐 and wow its amazing that silver gilding at the end was like Pow it brought it to life. Those people you are currently working for are SOOOOOO. Lucky to have you working for them,so looking forward to seeing the other pieces for furniture all together at the end. 😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
Very nice! Glad you bought out the details in this beautiful dresser but the color was too safe for me, so much more could have been done to this beautiful piece but each person has their own vision or style. What works for one doesn't work for the other. A lot of hard work went into it but it was worth it. Thanks for sharing.
You are a fabulous teacher. I’ve painted a lot of rooms and house projects, and you really have that knowledge that I haven’t seen imparted yet by other furniture painters. One thing I would suggest is that you show people a dusting brush and a tack cloth. Both pretty much indispensable when painting. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 Subscribed and ready to binge. We’ve just gone into lockdown again. 🤦♀️
Great tips!! I show a dusting brush in one of my videos actually maybe a few but I think you are correct and I like that idea so I will definitely order some more tact cloths also so I can implement that in the videos :) THANK YOU for the suggestion, I do a lot behind the science and sometimes I am like ehhh they don't care lol...but maybe you are right they do and should see it :) And lockdown AGAIN!! NOOOO I am so sorry, I live in Germany and we have been in lockdown for a while now too so I feel your pain!!
You remain, unequivocally, the best explainer/demonstrator for painting furniture! I have a piece that I started working on. Life hijacked my schedule and now want to work on it again. It is completely dry but not as blended as I would like. Tips for picking up where I left off?
Wow, well thank you so much!! alright so....you could go back over the areas with wet paint and re work it, if you go slightly over the previous line you should be able to make any previous dried paint lines, does that even make sense? lol
Wonderfully done! Thanks! Have a 4- piece bedroom/40 yrs brown, love to convert- not sure how. Will cont. Watching.( like the no strip technique) definitely!
Ugh! It’s disgusting how much I love this!!😍😍😍. 🙇♀️ to you! You are without a doubt the GURU of blending! You’re the blend master! Well done and can’t wait to see all the pieces completed!! Don’t forget to show us!! ✋ 💥!
Finally I find tutorial with grey blending 🤩🤩🤩 absolutely beautiful 🤩 for some strange reason no one blends with greys colours, thank you very much for this 😍 great tutorial like always 💕💕

I’m still in awe of the plaid dresser you created.
I hadn't really found a purpose for ez-pz, but when you mention using it as a 'priming wax' it makes so much sense - especially in this context! Thanks G
