The finish on this piece is flawless. Absolutely stunning. You and Kendall work so well together! Seeing you both paint the drawers was so satisfying.

Thank you so much! Lol yes we have fun together, usually at each others expense 😂 but yes we definitely have a system in place to keep things moving!

The French dresser is less ornate than many. I prefer simple lines over ornate pieces. You did a wonderful job.

Thanks Amy, same here! I prefer this style over the regular French provincials I usually see ❤️

I love this color! It turned out great. I bet if you put little wood dollies under the dresser you could move it side to side in the tent.

Hear ya on it getting too cold. We're painting a desk, and a few bookcases, in a couple weeks. We are going to put a spray tent in the garage, and use a propane heater to warm the space before starting. Thanks for sharing!

This was fantastic! Im also a flipper in Vancouver, but very new. I loved this colour and didnt realise its behrs rodeo tan! So funny cos i have a sample pot of this that i use for my tan washes! It works great. Its great to see it as one solid colour though. Its the reason i clicked on this video! Well done Holly!

But also, do you ever have to green wash under it for redder woods? Because with fusion Algonquin I don’t have to (I think it’s got some green tones in it however) and it’s the only one that I’ve tried that i don’t have to green wash first on top of red wood, and it would be great to have another tan that works the same :)

Would love to see your artistic side with some chalk painting, ombre and shadowing, etc

I had this exact same dresser and lost it in a flood…. The legs split and. I couldn’t be around the mold that accumulated in the insides…. Beautiful old dresser…. Mine was hard wood….actually it was Cherry wood…. And I bought it in 1962… and flooded in 2016…

@hollysgarage

5 ай бұрын

Oh no! I’m so sorry that happened I can imagine how much mold there would have been, definitely not good for your health 🙁 that’s such a shame it must have been so treasured in your family especially since you bought it in 1962! They definitely don’t make them like they did back then. Hope this dresser was able to bring you a sense of nostalgia although I did paint it!

What brand of paint did you use. Color was rodeo tan? Came out beautiful!

I shy away from French Provincial cuz they seem too girly or fussy. But this is gorgeous! I like the way you left the handles with some brown instead of making them bright gold.

Me too! They’re definitely a very specific style but if you’re going for a castle/princess look, it’s the go-to! This dresser specifically was a more toned down version which I loved 🥰 thank you! I really wanted to keep the brown in the handles while still making it look clean ❤️

Omg yes !!!

How do you keep drawers from sticking when you paint with them in the dresser?

@hollysgarage

The key is light coats! They shouldn’t stick 😊

Im just starting to do this as a business myself. How did u come up w the prices of ur pieces? Thats the part im teally unsure of. I live in Southern Ontario, Canada.

Look on marketplace and see what other refinishers in your area are getting for their pieces! The sold filter is really helpful. But also kind of estimate what you’d have to do and how much time and materials, and the amount of skill/effort it takes to get to the final product! I don’t believe in paying yourself $x/hr because you’d be punishing yourself for being able to do something efficiently. Hope that kinda helps! My dms on instagram are open if you have other questions ❤️

My husband has refinished furniture for many years…bugs are a problem in your spray , he has found really fine tipped tweezers can lift bugs off right away after spraying…spraying first thing in morning because the dew helps keeps bugs away until air warms up Spraying at night is worse for bugs, hope this helps

Came out great! I can't figure out my sprayer...it comes out all splattery...not a nice spray like yours. Ugh.

Maybe the paint isn't thin enough. I know you need to add water to thin it out. Try that ❤

@hollysgarage

5 ай бұрын

Thank you! I agree with Lisa, try thinning out the paint with water , I typically do about 20% but some paints are thicker than others. And try playing with the airflow/volume knobs. If it’s still not spraying right I’d say take the whole gun apart and clean it really well and make sure there are no clogs 😊 hope that works!! ❤️
