So lovely! While the distressed look isn’t my personal aesthetic, you elevated the refurb to an art form. And I really like the concept of the pieces being a set. Like Clinton and Stacy always said, the pieces don’t have to match; they just have to go [together]! Well done! You are very gifted at your craft!

I think people are staying away from a perfect match these days anyway. Thank you so much for your kind words, and not sure why but I agree with you, the bronze metal paint instead of an actual distressed does elevate the look.

I will admit, I had my doubts when you started dabbing on the gray paint, but then adding that copper color really did it! I have never seen this finishing touch done before but I think maybe we will really start seeing it😊 Nice job!

@@alexandra_sa_lazer Let me tell you, refinishing reminds me of that daily! It teaches me to persevere, to push through all the frustrations, and to find patience even when I think I have none left. It makes me a better human all around. And that's why Im here. ☺

I was struggling to see how you would be able to tie this together to make a matching set. But you nailed it! I really love how they turned out. And I love the silver and bronze around the edges. It wasn’t in your face and too much. Just enough to really make the piece pop. Looks amazing.

This is my first time watching your channel. I enjoyed it! Great work! Dixie Belle paint is a bit thicker but it allows you to use less paint and reduces paint strokes when using a mister bottle with a brush. I also add slightly more water with my sprayer. Fortunately, the pigment stays strong and there is less over spray. Thank you for an informative video. I subscribed.😊

Welcome, glad you decided to join us in all the fun! And you’re right, even diluted, the paint kept it’s pigments which I was glad to see. It felt a bit grainy, but I know that’s typical for chalk paint and I was ok with that since this was a Farmhouse style.

Nice job on these two! I love how you 'encouraged' them to match. I felt your pain with the screws (believe me). But, you kept going! Lovely, one-of-a-kind set. 🥰

These look amazing! ❤ I'm working on a piece now that I primed with shellac, but it made the surface too slick and the paint didn't stick. I ended up having to sand it all back off. Has this ever happened to you? Wondering what I did wrong since I've primed with shellac before and that didn't happen.

@aliferefurbished

10 ай бұрын

Normally, I scuff sand the shellac but I wait 1 hr before doing so. That gets rid of the glossiness. Humidity and high temps can affect the way it cures.
