  • In this video, I am making over this commission dining room table and chairs using Rustoleum Chalk Paint and MinWax Stain. Dining chairs are officially my arch enemy when it comes to using a brush to paint them. This set definitely tested my patience! I hope you learned a few things about refinishing a table and chairs! This is a great idea to save some money and flip the dining room table you may have already in your home! Let me know down in the comments about your experiences with similar flips. Thanks for watching!

    Great job! A little hint: I do 2 coats of BIN shellac primer when painting white. That second coat does amazing and will cut down on coats of white. Also I have the store add 65 drops of black to a "gallon" (15 drops to a quart) as the BIN has a yellow cast and the light grey (after adding the black) makes the white paint brighter!

    • @FurnitureFlippingTeacher
      @FurnitureFlippingTeacher  3 года назад +2

    I've been stripping, building and refinishing furniture for over 20 years and wanted to just offer some friendly advise. It's very important to never sand wood to remove a finish in preparation for stain. It's great if you're painting, but sanding, especially with an 80 grit paper scars the wood, especially when applying pressure. This is why your table top came out uneven and with some darker spots. I used to make this same mistake. The best option is to use a furniture stripper, then a 220 or higher paper by hand to prepare the wood without scarring it, without applying pressure. Wipe on poly is my favorite finish, but not ideal for a table, it will wear away with time. To save time you can purchase a stain with a poly in it.

    • @rhondadavis1483
      @rhondadavis1483 2 года назад

      Thanks Tammy for all these tips with your experience. I also use a stripper for the ones I’m going to stain. I only sand after I’ve stripped it. You’ve confirmed what I’ve been doing for a couple years. And def a stain with poly. Much easier

I wasn't going to redo it, but after watching this flip as well as a Beyond Paint flip, I am gonna do it!! I've purchased the paint and am waiting for it to come in. On another note, I am a retired teacher of 30 years. Proud of you for finding a way to paying off your student loans and finding a new passion in the process. You go girl!!

    I think the people who asked for this took advantage of you. If I had asked for you to do this for me & you said $450, I would have said absolutely too low. What’s with people? They knew this was taking advantage.

    It must be so difficult to figure out how long everything will take to do!! Sixteen hours sounds like a lot but it really isn't much for an 8-piece set that includes big pieces. It was exciting to hear you mention summer, I can't wait to see what you have in store for us when school is out, but please also remember to take time to rest & relax! It's so easy to overwork & get burned out when we work for ourselves.

    Lauren you did an OUTSTANDING JOB ! I am about to refinish our kitchen table {was weak finish when we bought it}, and watching your video with all of your detailed information, has given me the courage to take on my project. I need to borrow a sander for now, but I am looking forward to buying a sander like yours soon. Love the wipe on Poly. Sure looks easier than brushing on Poly. Thank you for sharing !

    Beautiful job and I know how much work this was! I've done a lot of refinishing over the last 40 years. I generally use oil base paint and stains for durability on high use furniture.

    Great video! I'm going to be trying a dining set in the near future so it was good watching you and getting all those tips. For someone who's less than a year in you do great work and know what you're doing! I hope I can continue learning from you, most of what I've done so far has been my own but I've got some pieces to start soon that I hope to flip.

    Just watching today’s video. Listen to an old lady: don’t use water based top coat - ever. I did on my kitchen table when it was new. Why, you ask. It was too shiny bright for my kitchen. Water based gets sticky in the humidity of summer. Enough so that all summer I was scrubbing the table 4, 5, 6 times a day as it would collect cat hair. Yeah! Just try keeping cats off the table. Frankly, it was disgusting. A friend used it on a wooden rocker. It wasn’t some place you wanted to sit. Maybe summer doesn’t bring high humidity where you are but come July here, it’s darn near raining inside! BTW: you inspired me to tackle refinishing the dining room chairs I’ve been planning to do for about 45 years. They aren’t in perfect shape (about 100 years old). But I’m not either.

      With the exception to general finish products. Just saying that stuff is worth the money! Two coats satin and one coat of flat give the durability and the low luster finish of a Farmhouse look.

      @@karleefuchs6670 : as I mentioned in my original comment, I used a water based clear coat on my kitchen table. It’s OK this time of year but when the heat of the summer coupled with high humidity arrived, the surface became gummy and cat fur plus the grey litter dust from their paws was positively gross. I was constantly scrubbing the table top - every time I entered the kitchen. Don’t know how it stands up on paintings but probably fine. I use oils so can’t apply water base over it.

    Looks great! I'm hoping to do my own dining room table in the same way. I like the clean look (not distressed) and will also do a darker stain, but this video definitely gives me a more realistic idea of how long it will actually take. Love watching your channel, keep up the outstanding work! I'm learning so much!
