Love that you don’t have to sand. I’m new to painting and don’t have the ability to sand my dresser (since I live in an apartment) I will definitely being trying this out
Im a decoerive painter of childerns furniture, and i have learned so much just from your technique,and the beauty of your results, im completlely mesmerized, im hooked on your videos, ty.
Just found your channel. I want to paint my own childhood bedroom furniture for my grand-daughter. It's a white French Provincial. The fact that I won't have to sand is wonderful!!! Thanks for the great video. Wish me luck!
Hi there, Good Morning, I'm so happy to meet a "Shabby Guy" . Its always been women doing the " shabby " thing😊 The dresser looks great and I really appreciate your tutorial. When I was younger, I refinished everything I owned with tung oil, then later, varathane. Now, I'm starting over on all that same old furniture and painting it. Ah, the times, they are a changing. Thanks so much, I'm going to go find more of your vids! 🙏👍🏾✌🏻️
Always so satisfying to watch someone brush on some paint the old school way! Now I’m itching to get out to the garage and work on some pieces. Great video as always!
I can't even get through the whole video w/o commenting, thank you for this! I have an old but really sturdy bedroom set that I want to paint, I can't afford a new set! I've been viewing videos to get the process down before I attempt this and your video is by far the most detailed and helpful. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks for the tip on how to avoid brush marks . I’m more confident now with painting some furniture Thank you and I love this project it looks fabulous
I've done over 80 pieces using Rethunk Junk products...I won't use anything else! I'm so excited you tried the paint line and made a great project video...will definitely share it!
“The Prep” from Rethunkjunk by laura has the same effect as White Spirit in that it removes oil, wax and dirt. One slight difference... White Spirit costs 2$ a litre... “The Prep” costs nearly 40$ for the same quantity!
Thank you! Have some antique dressers in my room that I haven't painted yet because I convinced myself I'm going to sand them down first. Lol I now have the confidence to just paint over it after cleaning them.
Working on my first dresser and it’s turning out great! Thank for the tips and for your video. I never was a diy person but this paint makes it much easier without the sanding process.
I'm a new subscriber and really enjoy learning any tips from you I can. I currently have a nightstand and dresser to refurbish after Christmas is over. I also LOVE the light grey color you used. So pretty. It turned out beautiful. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
I have learnt so much. I am in Brisbane Australia just hope they have the products you mentioned. Revamping my bedroom stained varnished bedside draws etc.
It's safer to always use a primer/blocker so that no bleeds/stains occur after applying a paint to any piece that have been painted before, especially when choosing a light color even if a product is claimed to be no sanding/no priming one. The bleeds/stains may occur only after applying an acrylic top coat. Also: a primer ensures better adhession, evens a surface's absorptivity and helps to reduce usage of a paint. Actually I'm pretty surprised that nothing bad happened to that dresser being repainted grom relatively dark to light. I wouldn't take such a risk though and would use a blocker/primer. But I'm really happy to finally see someone using proper strikes while painting which are along wood fibers.
You did a great job, I say as long as the finish is not a shinny gloss and is stable,not peeling or flaking off, just make sure it's clean, I use rubbing alcohol. I love to paint, if you have patience it helps.
Hi. I am new to your channel. Loved all of the videos that I have watched so far. I just found Valspar Cabinet and Furniture Oil-Enriched Enamel. Tintable to 1000+ colors. Fade, scratch and scuff resistant. No sanding nor priming needed. I'm going to try it but first prep with mineral spirits. I think that these two options are comparable to Rethunk Junk but at a much lower cost.
I've been toying with the idea of painting my old wooden dresser for some time now --- New Year's resolution --- PAINT ALL MY OLD FURNITURE !!! Thank you for giving me the kick I needed x
Just do it. No better way to get confidence than by making mistakes, learning from them, and applying that knowledge on your next piece. A lot of trials and tribulations come from painting furniture when you first start. Dont let that stop you and keep going!
@@ThatShabbyGuy I loved this video. I have disabilities on my hands and arms so I cant really sand, plus I live in a tiny apartment with no patio and no garage!!! I want to paint my dressers white without sanding!!! Thank you so much for posting.
I thank you for this video. I live in an apt and was so concern on how to paint my furniture. I’ve learned so much from watching your videos is a short amount of time. 👍🏽 job
Love the chest! And the color is nice and light🥰! I’m always confused as to why older furniture was always so dark😳 Guess in those days it was function over form😊 Can’t wait for part 2!
They were depressed in the old days. No internet. Porn was expensive and low quality. 3 channels on t.v. Had to load the stove with wood just to make bread.
There is another youtuber redoing furniture and they don't take out the drawers!!! Makes me nuts!! You do such a great job. I love the gray.. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Lol. We all have different ways of doing things. Not all dressers can be painted with the drawers in, like this one. When I spray, I usually leave the drawers in. When I brush I like to take them out. Thanks for watching and commenting!
How do you know when you need to use a primer after sanding or when you can just put the paint directly on after standing, how do you know when you should worry about the tannins coming through from the wood or not?? Need help haha. Thanks!!
hey Shabby..long time no see your videos. I found a guy by accident that works for a tip truck company who picks up peoples junk after they have thrown out things and this guy can give me all the furniture i want. I need storage real soon. lol Once again, great video.
Yeah it took me awhile to get another video out lol - Cold weather kinda slows things down. Trying to use this project to give me a reason to post two videos within a week. Maybe after that I can keep up with that schedule. 🤔 Sounds like you're making some good connections to help you out with furniture! That's the way to go!
@@ThatShabbyGuy yes, but summers here in Australia is very hot. It was 47 C = 116.5 F 2 days ago. I thought... wait couple months when it cools down to about 20C = 68F and then get that hutch and get it all painted and bring it back into my home because my wife wanted it to be refinished. I am delighted to do that. lol Keep those videos going mate. I enjoy them.
So satisfying to watch someone (a man) focused and working on a project with care. Well done👌🏾
Love that you don’t have to sand. I’m new to painting and don’t have the ability to sand my dresser (since I live in an apartment) I will definitely being trying this out
I'm currently cleaning out my childhood home and looking to keep the dresser. I'm excited to start the DIY project after seeing your video. thanks!
I love it. I bought me an antique bedroom set and now I don’t like how it looks. I’m definitely going to give the painting without sanding a try 😬
Have fun!

Me too. Furniture from my Grandma. Probably about 60 years old.
@@micheletopolosek8408 oh wow, that's so awesome! I wouldn't get rid of it either. 👍
@@Lana-xf1qw extremely sentimental. My grandma and I were best buddies....
This reminds me of the things my dad taught me. Glad you are sharing with younger families who may want to save money and kept a glamorous house.
Who knew you could just paint without sanding! Great. Job.🥰‼️
actually, if there is wax, you have to remove it. I stopped in my tracks as I need to know if Lemon Pledge is considered a wax
No sanding ... I love that. Looks great.
Your amusement with your singing sponge gave me joy! Oh, and great job on the dresser!
Thanks for the tip on how to avoid brush marks . I’m more confident now with painting some furniture
Thank you and I love this project it looks fabulous
GREAT JOB!!!! I'd like to have that Chest, along with a matching Dresser for my daughter's old room!!!!
Thank you. I’ve got several pieces that need to be repainted. One is over 58 years old and after seeing this, I honestly can’t wait! 👍🏾
"oh he's singing" 😂😂 you and toasty did a beautiful job!
🤣😂🤣😂😂
Awesome job@!!!
Rethunk junk paint is wonderful! Been using for one year and happy! Their new paint works on outdoor projects and kitchen cabinets!!!!
so it does not matter which paint i buy? None of their paint needs to be sanded before applying?
I've done over 80 pieces using Rethunk Junk products...I won't use anything else! I'm so excited you tried the paint line and made a great project video...will definitely share it!
I have that same exact dresser at home and was thinking about trashing it. After watching this you definitely saved me from buying a new one. Thanks.
I have same dresser colour and thinking I don't have the strength to sand but you make it so easy thank you.
“The Prep” from Rethunkjunk by laura has the same effect as White Spirit in that it removes oil, wax and dirt. One slight difference... White Spirit costs 2$ a litre... “The Prep” costs nearly 40$ for the same quantity!
White spirit? Where can I buy this? Also does anyone know a paint that's not from rethunk that could work without sanding?
Steff, I wasn’t familiar with white spirit either, so I googled it. Looks like just clear mineral spirits.
Steph AF I was wondering that as well!
Thank you! Have some antique dressers in my room that I haven't painted yet because I convinced myself I'm going to sand them down first. Lol I now have the confidence to just paint over it after cleaning them.
I have actually just put a rough first coat on furniture and sold it that way! Some people like that look. Your dresser looks great!
Yep. That is pretty much dry brushing. I used to do that a lot and still sell it at the same price as fully painted pieces!
I hate stripping and sanding. Thanks for the tips very helpful!
Working on my first dresser and it’s turning out great! Thank for the tips and for your video. I never was a diy person but this paint makes it much easier without the sanding process.
Nice job. I would change out the hardware to give the dresser an updated look.
I'm a new subscriber and really enjoy learning any tips from you I can. I currently have a nightstand and dresser to refurbish after Christmas is over. I also LOVE the light grey color you used. So pretty. It turned out beautiful. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
Your toasty sponge is the MVP here.
Awesome video...now that I found you and toasty I can send my boyfriend packing. Thanks for all of the insight!
you are great at what you do!
I have learnt so much. I am in Brisbane Australia just hope they have the products you mentioned. Revamping my bedroom stained varnished bedside draws etc.
YOUR TUTORIAL WAS VERY HELPFUL YOU DO A AWESOME JOB
Even came with free socks !! Awesome job. I love refurbished furniture. It’s fun to do as well.
I like the way you painted the dresser looks beautiful
Fantastic job, the dresser is beautiful. I love the Toasty sponge. LOL.

The singing sponge guy! Too funny! Looks beautiful 😊
Awesome renovation
This is the smart way to recycle furniture.👍🏼
That was smooth 👌🏾
Lmao the way he nervously looked at the socks and pinched them up. I laughed out loud in bed 😂😭
You did a great job, I say as long as the finish is not a shinny gloss and is stable,not peeling or flaking off, just make sure it's clean, I use rubbing alcohol. I love to paint, if you have patience it helps.
Some black knobs or handles would look beautiful as well
Thanks for sharing your tips on painting with a brush. Dresser turned out great.

Good job - looks good. I like repainting older used furniture - gives it a whole new life. Thanks for the video.
Love your videos. I’m getting close to retirement and I want to give old furniture new life. Your tips will come in handy! Thank you.
I've been toying with the idea of painting my old wooden dresser for some time now --- New Year's resolution --- PAINT ALL MY OLD FURNITURE !!! Thank you for giving me the kick I needed x
Very informative video. I have a bunch of dark depressing furniture and I want to paint it - something I've never done before.
This is pretty. You do a great job . I am trying to get the courage up to paint some pieces I have picked up.
Just do it. No better way to get confidence than by making mistakes, learning from them, and applying that knowledge on your next piece. A lot of trials and tribulations come from painting furniture when you first start. Dont let that stop you and keep going!
I have 2 pieces that I’m planning to paint matte black. I’m a newbie so this video was super helpful, Ty!
Love the toasty sponge singing!
Outstanding job on the "no sanding" project. I'm going to try this on a dresser I love but hate the color. Thank you!!
🤣😂😅oh my socks! I was really worried at first
Very 😎. I have a couple pieces I’m going to paint and I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE sanding 🤭...Thanks for the tip. I’ll let you know how mine comes out!!
Looks good to me.. look forward to the next part... Merry Christmas, be blessed.
Merry Christmas! Thanks for watching!
@@ThatShabbyGuy I loved this video. I have disabilities on my hands and arms so I cant really sand, plus I live in a tiny apartment with no patio and no garage!!! I want to paint my dressers white without sanding!!! Thank you so much for posting.
You literally inspired me to redo an antique vanity. I followed all the steps you take when painting. Thanks!
I thank you for this video. I live in an apt and was so concern on how to paint my furniture. I’ve learned so much from watching your videos is a short amount of time. 👍🏽 job
I loved the dresser. I think it turned out really pretty.
Thank you!
This was very helpful. I have a dresser i need to paint and i don't want to fuss with sanding
Nice work. Thanks for the tips on thin layering. Now i see where i went wrong.
Love the chest! And the color is nice and light🥰! I’m always confused as to why older furniture was always so dark😳 Guess in those days it was function over form😊 Can’t wait for part 2!
I know right. I hate dark furniture. I love the light colors, white, cream and especially grey.
Most wood is naturally dark
That’s true and renovating , updating nor adding color was necessary to the function so....I get it😊
They were depressed in the old days. No internet. Porn was expensive and low quality. 3 channels on t.v. Had to load the stove with wood just to make bread.
Lyndel Beckwith 🤣
I’m new to painting furniture. It was very helpful! I’m going to go for it.
Good luck!
Very helpful video. Informative and very good presentation. Thank you
Looks great nice job. You make it look so easy
I love it. I would totally buy it.
I like the way how you work with out sanding it speeds up time that there I can work with and the material you use just as well .
Thank you very much!
Awesome! Thank you for your example. I have two pieces of furniture waiting for a face lift.
I love it. I want everything you paint. 😂😂
Your work came out very beautiful
Glad you think so!
Can’t wait for the other things you have in mind for this Dresser, I like the grey.
Great job. I'm wanting to start furniture painting and this was the best no-sanding video thus far!
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Y'alls 🙌 ❤️ 🙏
There is another youtuber redoing furniture and they don't take out the drawers!!! Makes me nuts!!
You do such a great job.
I love the gray..

For now , I can already say , beautiful 😊👍
Thank you! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Great video. Can’t wait to see what you do to this dresser next.
Great job!!!! You give me hope.
Wow it looks great! Going to find the finished video.
OMG that looks AMAZING ! you did a great job.... so glad I found your video because I'm about to paint and didn't want to sand

You did a really nice job on this dresser.
This is my favorite video!
Thanks!
Beautiful job.
Love love love the finish. I have a really nice piece for my daughters nursery. Love the products used :) Thanks for your video!
I love your work, you’re meticulous and I like that 🥰
Your toasty Sponge is "whistling" at you. lol
Lol...missing socks😂
Great job looks fantastic👍
Nice! I'm going to try this on an old dresser that I have. I don't have a sander, so this will be perfect 👌🏽
WOW! The dresser looks amazing. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
wow you did such an awesome job...I absolutely love it 😀
Thanks!
You did a great job
Would have enjoyed a side by side of the before and after at the end. I’m not into distressed so would have enjoyed seeing new pulls. Nicely done.
Can't wait to see 2nd part!!!
I love what you did, beautiful! I think I'll use this on my kitchen cabinets! Thank you!
I'm thinking of painting one of my dressers. This looks easy enough. Thank you for the video.
I subscribed because of the sponge
