I actually loved the original hardware😊

Your indecisiveness made me feel a whole lot better about my indecisiveness that paralyzes me and then I can’t move forward with a piece.

Super unique for sure! Could have been modernized but perfect for a rustic piece.

I had to stop the video so could comment and not miss anything. Thank you so much for not using plastic to wrap the drawers or protect other areas from getting paint on them! I have not seen anyone on YT forego the plastic, you are the first! Thank you so much for seeking and using alternatives!!

I think it turned out so elegant. Loved your vision.

Gorgeous

It’s hard to believe that too isn’t real wood - it looks so great!! I love how you took the look to the top drawers. It really adds to the overall all look. Great job!👏

I have so many pieces of furniture I want to make over. I hope mine turn out as great as yours. This is beautiful.

I can not believe how awesome that dresser looks. I'm fixing to start refinishing an old dresser I'm going to use for a TV 65 inch table. I hope I can follow you instructions.

You always do such nice design on all your furniture's ❤

I adore that original hardware!! Hope you use it on another piece.

So stinking pretty!! Love the color combo!! You made the right choice 😍

I love this!!! Wow what a transformation!

WOW... hard to believe it's the same dresser!

Stunning!

Another home run!

Hello. You did an amazing job on this piece. I believe bringing that faux finish from the top to the top front of the dresser made all the difference. “BEAUTIFUL”!! 👍🥰🥰🥰

Make it look so easy. The prep is the hard un fun part... I'd like to see a dark brown... not a stain or wood look. Just dark chocolate paint. Beautiful results.

That is beautiful. I love the wood grain look.

Hi great video, I did this wood effect on my sister in law's living room furniture 25 years ago, but did it in reverse to your colouring. Darker background with lighter top coat with the grain effect. Looked lovely and gave the furniture another lease of life.

WOW that looks so wonderful! I always love black furniture it looks so classy and the faux finish is to die for, you did it so well I might just have to try it out something soon!

Wilson Art Laminate used to make this back in the 80's. Low and behold they still do and it is at Lowes. Now it looks like granite. Great call for the wood trim on the drawers. Love the gold knobs. Beautiful job. Thanks.

Hi Kara! Just wanted to let you know I ordered a surforep sander thanks to you and used your code for a discount. This is Wendy Kniffen from st. Augustine Florida but I changed my user name! Keep on keeping on! Thank you for your creativity and inspiration!

Awesome! Thank you! Enjoy!!

Would look even better with legs. But really great job!

Love this! Do you water your paint down and if so, what is the ratio? Thanks!

Wondering if you give your furniture time for the paint to cure before listing it for sale? I use Heirloom Traditions paint and feel nervous about selling a furniture piece until the paint is cured for a couple weeks. Is that smart or am I just being overly worried??? I do put a top coat on, even though the paint has one built in, for extra protection. Thanks for your videos! You’ve given me the confidence to keep trying new methods!

The screen of plastic is perfect and easy to make. That’s a great tip. I’ve messed up the garage before. We are moving into a new house and my husband will be so happy if I don’t spray the walls.

No...its not 'just a matter of a little paint'.....its a completely new piece becaus of your vision and expert hand .well done again.

Beautiful! What is the difference between a stain and a glaze? I really want to try this! I am confused on which of the product kits to purchase. The link shows so many!

@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture

Ай бұрын

I think the link goes right to the one I used as far as highlighting it. I just pulled up a lot of the pictures on amazon to see which color I liked best. I think it was walnut I ended up with for this one

What shade is the Retique? Beautiful piece.

@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture

2 ай бұрын

I want to say barnwood? It’s where the link goes to.

You know, it turned out better than I thought it was going to, but I have to say, I don't really like the shade of the stain you used on the top... it reminds me too much of those old fake butcher block counters from the 80's... I think it would have been nicer with a little darker, warmer tone, or maybe a different primer. Funny thing is, I kind of like the primer color, before the wood grain. It made the geometric shape of the drawers stand out, and popped against the black. Also, there seemed to be a bunch of speckles on the black paint? Don't what was causing that... But like I said, it turned out pretty nice... I just would have gone in such a completely different direction with that piece, it took me a minute to wrap my brain around it.. You know, different strokes for different folks...😅😅😅

Please color black

When you do a finish that looks like wood, do you tell your buyers that it’s not real wood?

Has anyone had this problem? When I click the LIKE button it disappears? Previously it was black when clicked. This is happening on all my watched prescribed videos. I do not know if my vote/watching is being credited to your account. Anyone know????

Great video but wouldn’t say it is for beginners. Beginners won’t necessarily have all the equipment you have - certainly not an air compressor. And maybe you made note in the comments somewhere but there was no mention of choosing grit for your sanders and no tips on technique to use for spraying - like testing on cardboard first to make sure it is spraying correctly etc. Still, I love watching makeovers even if I haven’t yet braved doing one myself.

The original dresser was pretty. The makeover ruined it.😢

Most beginners won’t have sprayers as there go to tools so to be honest found this irrelevant for newbies

Then you must not have heard me say that it is just as easy to use a brush as to spray this on as I was spraying.
