Hahah Judith!! I was WONDERING who would notice!!! 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 KZread 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!

Love that beachy look

Wow! I would have never guessed that is laminate. It’s incredibly great. I’ve always thought of laminate as, well, cheap. This looks very high-end!

I agree. Im really wanting to move away from laminate looking furniture.

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!💜

Oh that's awesome! Yeah, I love Kacha's videos and have learned so much from her. And I love Annie Sloan paint too -- it is really nice. Thanks for watching!

I like the beachy, driftwood look. Perfect for an oceanside home.

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.

I love how the bed is made not bombarded with pillows the driftwood color looks fresh

Hi Just found you. I’m wanting to change my chocolate furniture pieces to grey , grey/blue whitewashing look to brighten up my place. Do I need to sand laminate pieces at all if I use Annie Sloan paint? Thank you.

@KnowCanDo

Жыл бұрын

Clean it very well then Give it a scuff sand

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?

Why does everybody use chalk paint? Couldn't you just use flat latex or oil base? And put a varnish over the top?

If you use latex or oil you should use a primer beforehand

How do you not get paint all over yourself? Maybe it's just me :)

Hahah!! I usually do!!!!

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.
