Hello ChrsDawna. You are remarkably generous with your skill and knowledge, never holding back. And your enthusiasm is a gift as well. Thank you so much! I hope your kindness boomerangs a hundred times a hundred.
Isn’t that the truth! I wonder how many people she has inspired to do this because she makes it look so easy and fun only to try it and realize it takes work and skill. She’s so talented!
Oh snap! I clicked on this video with impeccable timing. I have some pieces that I want to work on and keep and now I know exactly how to tell what materials my furniture is! Thanks for sharing 💕
Thank you so much, I try to show everything without too much fluff because sometimes these are real things we will come across. Like the dirty drawers.......we don't want to sell a piece with dirty drawers like that lol :)
Bella Renovare by Crys’Dawna I’m so glad you showed how to clean the drawers with the sander it will make things much easier for me doing my daughters antique bedroom set. I’m fairly new at this trying to absorb as much as I can😘
@@cheryldufrenestanley5390 Yes it will save you so much time and your arms!!! you got this and I am so glad you are here, I hope I can teach you more and more :)
I spent at least ten hours straight yesterday watching your videos (stopping only for meal breaks and a little stretch!). I have a small china cabinet where I have been keeping my esthetician products in. I have cleared the cabinet and excited to get started. I am learning so much from you. Problem is I just want to keep watching you than get off my ass and get started already!! Seriously, you are a treasure of info for decorative painting and love how you do it. Thank you very much. Wish you and your loved ones a very happy and healthy New year! I am now a huge fan of yOu!
you are so so sweet, you know what?? I actually did a cabinet for my esthetician before I moved from Wyoming!! how funny is that?? I am so grateful that I could be cool enough for you to watch lol....clearly we ar enow best friends :) no go do some painting lol ❤️
@@BellaRenovare How exciting to hear back from you! I am in California and it should be easy enough to get the products and get started! My new year resolution is to paint that cabinet - finally yOu inspired me! :)
@@noorgm6440 You got this!!! if you want to get Dixie Belle stuff you can order here and they will ship it right to you :) 👇🏻👇🏻 dixiebellepaint.com?aff=119 I am here to help also if you need anything shoot me an email ❤️❤️❤️ crysdawna@Gmail.com
Collard Greens is such a beautiful dark green - love how this came out - still looks “old”, but fresh ... good decision to stick to the collard and caviar. Hit it out of the park!
I had just bought the coastal line as a Christmas present to myself so I was so stoked to find out you were going to post this video! Now I’m even more excited to use these paints. So dreamy! I can’t wait to see what you do with the neons…🎨
I always appreciate...and love... That you educate me. I love painting furniture and giving existing items "new life". So many times, I have gotten in over my head because I didn't have the knowledge you have. I didn't understand "bleed through", how to deal with anything that wasn't solid wood(this includes veneer). Messed up A.LOT. OF beautiful furniture because I didn't know what I was dealing with! So saaaaad! I HATE that there are some creations that carpenters have put an amazing amount of quality work and love into, and I effed it up by going sander-happy and other newbie mistakes. I just hope someone experienced like you found them and made it a loved and appreciated piece of art in someone's home. I have a couple pieces still...I now have the confidence and know-how to fix them. Mahalo, boo!
Love this mixture of the Caviar and Collard Green. The Big Mama's Butta makes the finish have a velvet look. Great job and another great video. (Your sander is the BOMB) !!!!
I LOVE when u take ur time and Explain Everything. ...This is awesome and Gives beginners like me not only instructions but visuals too ..You're the Bomb and this empire chest came out awesome 👍🤩
@@BellaRenovare I ONLY speak the truth....I realize that doing a youtube video is nerve wracking...as you're trying to Not bore and try to keep things exciting and simple....BUT truth be told that YES I LOVE all the beautiful furniture you do...and mean GORGEOUS...But at same time I am Trying to LEARN and Be successful at this ...And When you Take ur Time and explain and then Make sure we See How ur doing these Beautiful pieces....That's What Makes YOU go Above and beyond in my book....and I thank you so much for this. ....Ur awesome 👍🤩...be blessed as always
When you got to where you changed your mind I fell in love with this piece! I would have loved to see what you would have done with the other colors though! Girl!! Your brain... mind meld that thing on over here!! Your bold and brave when you choose color, and I’d love to see a video where you first get a piece and see you you go through the process, like from the very start, when you first meet the piece! I think that would be cool 😍😍😍 You’re very creative... gifted👍🏻
Perfect! When I watch videos I always think, how the hell did she come up with that idea or what inspired the color choices?? You show us every time to be fearless... it’s only paint!!
I really love the combination of colors. You're so talented! Thanks for providing great information and inspiration. I just bought a huge wooden desk and was looking for inspiration to make it masculine, as the desk will be for my husband. I think this is what I'm going to do! I'll let you know how it turns out.
Yay I am so glad you are here!! Don’t worry I am not a brand snob I love all of my artist friends no matter what they use, I have used a ton of different brands over the years as well :) there are lots of great paints out there 😍😍
I learned so much! Thanks for an informative and instructional video with a beautiful result. I love transfers and moulds, but it's so nice to see a piece of furniture's beauty stand on its own at the hands of a true professional.
I just found your channel and wow I love this piece so much. I also love your attitude and personality. I can't believe people would come onto your channel and criticize..........um if they don't like it there's plenty of other channels. Keep being you.
This was fascinating since I just purchased a very similar empire buffet on marketplace for $40. Requires work, but you helped me identify what to look for! I need to keep from getting ahead of myself as each piece requires time & patience. But now I have plenty to do during the winter months! Oh, and I loved seeing the little pink car drive by when you were outside lol.
HahahHa That was my son is his awesome little car hahaha The more you do this the more you will learn and I am always happy to help and answer questions 🧡🧡
@@jackiemahoney1314 thank you so much, can you believe I had one lady say I repeat myself too much I was leaving ummm okay then lol I like to put myself in other shoes and I teach how I think I learn best 💕
@@BellaRenovare that's so weird...even though I suspect most of us creatives are visual learners, the repetition is still important. Be safe in Germany!
I love watching you blend items and how seamless it is. I wish I could get just a small amount of the espresso stain somewhere, I only need enough for a small sewing machine table. I wish there was a place we could upload images for ideas! I am struggling with this sewing machine cabinet!
I’m going to struggle to make masculine pieces since I love sparkle and shimmer and shine and bright color. This is a great idea for a color palette I could still get on board with!
This piece is gorgeous, love that you created the smokie effect. Also thank you for the lesson on veneer. I just received a somewhat damaged veneered bedroom set and now have the confidence/knowledge to repair it. Love your stuff!!
Bella Renovare by Crys’Dawna have you ever worked with milk paint? I just purchased shackteau black beach to do my moms old, OLD badly banged up buffet, I’m looking for a shou sugi ban look. Can you fly here and assist?🙄
I’d call it pretty and very masculine. I have a piece similar and was trying to figure out what to do with it. I’m inspired. Also...I got a surfprep sander because of you. I cannot wait for it to arrive. Eeeeee🤩
I’m thinking about which project is my fav... I cannot choose! There are too many that I love. Green is my favorite color, so maybe the small green end table??? ♥️
it's tough right? I try to do something different with each one so it is kind of tough when you have a ton of totally different things to choose from lol.....I am really liking that green end table though I KEPT IT 😬😬😬😂😂
thank you for such good tutorials, little by little as i see you do the blending technique I think I will give a try, I have already bought the misting bottle and i have the furniture not I just have to do it. God bless.
How to identify veneer is very helpful. I didn't know they put veneer over oak. Yikes, why would they do that! LOL I have to fill for a few small missing pieces of veneer on a waterfall dresser and I have a stackable lawyer's bookcase that bubbled just a bit on top. I will try the method of putting glue in a syringe for that piece. Thanks for the suggestion and again for your super informative video!!
you are so so welcome :) Yeah I don't understand it either, but my guess is people like the look of patterns and if a piece of oak doesn't have a pattern they thought it looked better with patterned veneer lol.....because they are insane hahahahah
Hola Cristi , me gusto mucho tu trabajo 😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 me encantan tus videos , la técnica de blending es la que más me gusta por eso me gusta mucho ver lo qué haces . Gracias por enseñarnos tan bien esa técnica , felicidades por tu trabajo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻 saludos y bendiciones 🤗😘🙏🏻✌🏻🇲🇽
Another fabulous job. I’ve been wanting to do a piece for my room in collard greens and I love this. Especially the “Smoke gets in your eyes” effect. However, I can tell I’m going to need to go with a different green for my room. Or maybe mix in some mustard for a little more olive green effect. Thanks as always for your great tutorial. Let us know if you have any bleed through on this. I would have been scared to paint it without sealing it and I just want to get to the painting part. It’s good to know that you don’t have to prime everything.
so because the colors were darker I didn't have bleed thru but if I went any lighter with the colors I 100% would have primed it :) Thank you so much Svea ❤️❤️
Hola Crys, acabo de descubrirte y ya he visto varios vídeos, me encanta todo lo que haces y cómo explicas tus técnicas. Aunque entiendo casi todo, hay términos o palabras que no acabo de comprender. Soy de España y me encantaría entender todo lo que dices, que seguro es muy interesante. Sería genial que se pudiera ver la traducción en español, no obstante seguiré viéndote, aunque sea en inglés. Estoy enganchada 😂 Gracias por tus vídeos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Sí, ya he visto varios. Te agradezco enormemente la traducción en español. Eres muy amable. Buscaré todo lo que tienes publicado porque creo que eres un gran referente para las que nos estamos iniciando en estas técnicas. Enhorabuena por tus proyectos y tu amabilidad. 👍🤗
Is Big Mama’s Butta a wood conditioner and a topcoat? I thought it was a conditioner but I’ve seen more than one person use it over paint. Such a handsome fella. He dressed up quite nicely. 💕
This is beautiful. I have a question - am I correct in assuming that is you were to put a transfer on this that you would use the Butta afterwards ? Thank you in advance for answering.
Yes you are correct, so transfers do NOT do well over oil or wax so always put it either in your dry paint directly they also do well over dry topcoats but always do Butta or wax OVER them
knichols65 so, if I was going to use a gel stain that was lighter yes, but anything dark say espresso and beyond no. Many time an oil based sealer won’t allow bleed through but a water based will for sure!!!
Hi this is connie mcmurphy i am going try finish a dining table that is laminated. And if u have a tutorial that i could watch that would be so helpful i enjoy ur tutorials and your way of using color so i am wanting to paint it turquoise so any sugestions of what other colors to make it amazing and i know u r. The lady with the info thank u so much
I like it the word grunge kept coming up I’m not sure if that sense or not but I definitely like it I was curious if you ever put a second coat of big mamas butter on any of your pieces
Awesome job!! Love the colors you went with. 💪 QUESTION- I noticed when you stained the top, you went kind of heavy on the stain. Is that something I should be doing instead of light layers? I've always done light layers of the gel stain and added more to achieve the look im need. Im always worried if i go too thick it will take a year to dry 🤣
Toni Reed ahhh okay so that top was stripped and it was superrrrr dry, so it soaked right in. You are doing it right :) this one just need a little more is all ❤️❤️❤️
NOT a dumb question, no you can put it over other surfaces as well :) almost like a paint but you need to give it plenty of time to dry in between coats to get a solid look :)
I absolutely love this piece it’s so beautiful. I think I missed a step though did you put on big mamas butter and then put a sealer over the top or did you put a sealer on and then big mamas butter?
Hi beautiful Thank you for this video it helped me a lot My question can I putt big mamas butter in orange on top off a caviar Armoir which I already waxed with the black wax but if I touch it it shows every fingerprint Please help
Yes just until I am done with the piece, so a day or two at the most, as long as you keep it really well sealed you will be fine for the duration of a few day project :)
Hi! I have a piece that I refinished and used 4 coats of boss and 3 coats of fluff and still have bleed through! What happened. Thinking about sanding it back and repainting it :( is there any advise you could give me???
Alicia Cooley where do you live? Some pieces are suchhhhh a pain and will bleed forverrrrr normally in those situations you can go get spray shellac (if you are in the states) do a light spray on the areas with bleed thru and paint over
Alicia Cooley also you can spot fix with BOSS. So you could put boss on the problem areas sand superrrrr lightly with a high grit like 220 or higher and paint over to keep everything smooth :)
It’s actually a dye, they do that to mahogany... I know crazy !! I make sure when I get a piece of mahogany that there is no wear on the original finish. So I can paint right over no problems
The crazy thing is it's the second piece I have had that was empire that had the dye, but they didn't seal it so even if I painted over it, it would have bled....whyyyyyy do they do that?!?!?! lol
The rpms are higher it has less vibration and it has a dustless system so I can sand inside when I hook it to my vacuum. I burn through sanders from Home Depot all the time I have yet to burn through this and I use it almost everyday

I love this piece. I would like to ask, if I want to accomplish a mossy green, what colors to use in order to get that antique mossy green look?
Is Big Mama’s Butta a wood conditioner and a topcoat? I thought it was a conditioner but I’ve seen more than one person use it over paint. Such a handsome fella. He dressed up quite nicely. 💕
Decrepit!!! hahahahaha that made me 😂 It looks like it would smell like a rich tobacco-scented candle! I think your client will LOVE IT!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
hahaha I like your description much better lol....I was like hmmm what are some good words for a gurney decrepit lol.....
Love it ... do you have the link for the hardware? 🥰
Thank you so much!! Here is the link to the hardware 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Awesome! Do you keep the bags with the brushes in the refrigerator or does it matter? Thank you!
This is beautiful. I have a question - am I correct in assuming that is you were to put a transfer on this that you would use the Butta afterwards ? Thank you in advance for answering.
Yes you are correct, so transfers do NOT do well over oil or wax so always put it either in your dry paint directly they also do well over dry topcoats but always do Butta or wax OVER them
Hola I love your videos, greetings from Tijuana Mexico
Hola!!! gracias :)
Do you ever do kitchen cabinets. Any advice
I have yes, what color are you wanting to do?
Love it.
Thank you so much :)
Thanks for all of your detailed info! Would you ever use BOSS before staining?
knichols65 so, if I was going to use a gel stain that was lighter yes, but anything dark say espresso and beyond no. Many time an oil based sealer won’t allow bleed through but a water based will for sure!!!
Hi this is connie mcmurphy i am going try finish a dining table that is laminated. And if u have a tutorial that i could watch that would be so helpful i enjoy ur tutorials and your way of using color so i am wanting to paint it turquoise so any sugestions of what other colors to make it amazing and i know u r. The lady with the info thank u so much
ooo okay I don't know if I do but....if you email me at crysdawna@gmail.com you can shoot me some pictures and I can try to help you :)
I like it the word grunge kept coming up I’m not sure if that sense or not but I definitely like it I was curious if you ever put a second coat of big mamas butter on any of your pieces
grunge is a great word for it!! I will put. second coat if I feel like it needs it but so far so good for 98% of the pieces :)
I would call it moody... awesome work 😀
luvmytools1 I like that!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome job!! Love the colors you went with. 💪
QUESTION- I noticed when you stained the top, you went kind of heavy on the stain. Is that something I should be doing instead of light layers? I've always done light layers of the gel stain and added more to achieve the look im need. Im always worried if i go too thick it will take a year to dry 🤣
Toni Reed ahhh okay so that top was stripped and it was superrrrr dry, so it soaked right in. You are doing it right :) this one just need a little more is all ❤️❤️❤️
Ok THANK YOU!!! I always appreciate your tips!! You're the best 😉
😂..."a hundred and million time percent"...
❤ you!
hahahahahah ❤️❤️❤️
This might be a dumb question but does the gel stain have to go on raw wood or real wood
NOT a dumb question, no you can put it over other surfaces as well :) almost like a paint but you need to give it plenty of time to dry in between coats to get a solid look :)
I absolutely love this piece it’s so beautiful. I think I missed a step though did you put on big mamas butter and then put a sealer over the top or did you put a sealer on and then big mamas butter?
I just used Big mama’s Butta as the sealer nothing else :) it can be used as a sealer ❤️
I love this
Thank you :)
Hi beautiful
Thank you for this video it helped me a lot
My question can I putt big mamas butter in orange on top off a caviar Armoir which I already waxed with the black wax but if I touch it it shows every fingerprint
Please help
Hi there!! You can yes but you want to make sure you wipe away all the excess and then buff it the remaining into the surface so it can fully dry :)
Can you use a scrub brush first to scrub clean and then wipe with a cloth?
of course you sure can :)
Reminds me of one of those military ammo boxes
How long do you leave brushes in a bag or do you clean after finishing your piece
Yes just until I am done with the piece, so a day or two at the most, as long as you keep it really well sealed you will be fine for the duration of a few day project :)
grungy!
yessss perfect word!!!
I havent tried big mamas butta yet and now it’s all I want to use!!! Gorgeous!!!
and it smells soooo good!!!
Hi! I have a piece that I refinished and used 4 coats of boss and 3 coats of fluff and still have bleed through! What happened. Thinking about sanding it back and repainting it :( is there any advise you could give me???
Alicia Cooley where do you live? Some pieces are suchhhhh a pain and will bleed forverrrrr normally in those situations you can go get spray shellac (if you are in the states) do a light spray on the areas with bleed thru and paint over
Alicia Cooley also you can spot fix with BOSS. So you could put boss on the problem areas sand superrrrr lightly with a high grit like 220 or higher and paint over to keep everything smooth :)
Is this a surf prep sander?
janet rogers yes ma’am it sure is!! The 3x4 electric ray, my favorite!!
@@BellaRenovare gonna be my Christmas this year😱😱
janet rogers you will love it!! I have a coupon code too if you need one :)
BELLARENOVARE10
It will save you 10% ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s actually a dye, they do that to mahogany... I know crazy !! I make sure when I get a piece of mahogany that there is no wear on the original finish. So I can paint right over no problems
The crazy thing is it's the second piece I have had that was empire that had the dye, but they didn't seal it so even if I painted over it, it would have bled....whyyyyyy do they do that?!?!?! lol
Why surf sander is so pricey? What’s different than Home Depot’s?
The rpms are higher it has less vibration and it has a dustless system so I can sand inside when I hook it to my vacuum. I burn through sanders from Home Depot all the time I have yet to burn through this and I use it almost everyday
100 million times percent. LOL!
hahaha it's totally a real measurement hahahahah
