I gotta be honest I think the original color looked a lot nicer.

Fair enough 🙂 I’ve refinished several vintage pieces in the darker stain and they turned out beautiful. Walnut especially is gorgeous in a dark stain.

Agreed. Warner natural tones always look nicer than the artificial ones that’s for sure. Now it’s the trend to change it into something unnatural, it won’t last.

The finish you added does not just revise it, but allows more of the natural beauty of the wood to shine through. The paint wash was a perfect way to blend the different wood tones. So often a heavy factory finish, so common on these pieces, is replicated with new darker stains to disguise the differences. Thanks for not repeating that flawed solution.

Greetings from Florida 😍 Thanks for watching! Yes I loved the original color too actually. But when I stripped away the old finish and saw the lighter wood I liked that even more.

I love the natural wood look you created with the paint wash! I recently acquired a heywood wakefield sculptura dresser and am thinking about this same look!!

Its a stunner.I fully agree ,with just sanding it down first.I would then finish it of to as " flat" and as natural as possible.No dark ,tinted stain ,no glossy varnish.Sometimes a light tan " wash,makes all the difference.

Why are you such a fan of the Gen Finishes top coat as opposed to a mainstream brand?

@rescuedbyamy

2 ай бұрын

I used Varathane and Minwax brands for awhile. Then I tried the Gen Finishes, and I didn’t want to like it because it’s more expensive 🤣 But it dries faster, smoother, and the finish has a stronger feel to it. Also. I noticed it doesn’t alter the color of the piece as much as other brands do.

Thank you! The dresser sold for $999. And honestly if I ever come across another one, I may charge a bit more purely because it was a TON of work and time. There are no shortcuts to a project like this 😅

I am in search of a sprayer. Can you send me info on the one you use? Another question, how many times do you have to refill it while finishing a piece.

@rescuedbyamy

2 ай бұрын

Hello! I use a Fuji Minimite 4, it’s an HVLP sprayer, it comes with its own turbine so you don’t need an air compressor. The quality and consistency of the spray pattern is excellent. There’s a link to it in my bio. I also use a disposable cup system that holds 22 ounces of paint, I do have to refill it between coats if I’m doing a big 3 or 4 piece furniture set. But for just a single piece the 22 ounces is usually enough. I hope that helps!!
