I just did a piece that I did the same thing you did, adding a little dark wax here and there on the flat surface for a natural wood look, and it turned out great. Then I saw this video. ☺️
I loved the final results! But I have a question and hopefully you can help me understand. Doesn't all furniture neeeds to be sand to get the glossy finish off so that the paint will have a good surface to “grab” onto. I only see you sanding the parts that you applied the filling to. I saw your video titled nightstand Makeover/Furniture Stripping and refinishing. Can you please explained why in that nightstand you removed the finish coat differently? Was that necessary? I want to paint my bed too, and don't know if I need to sand it all before applying the paint or to leave it as it is. Thanks
Wife and I are loving your videos! We have slowly started doing some of your suggestions and will be doing more furniture makeovers! Thank you! God bless
Looks great; thanks for posting. I have my son's off white convertible crib that I was going to paint a different color as full bed because I thought beige might not be ideal as he gets older...thinking I might just keep it👍
Hi, Christina - the bed looks fantastic and I have some half finished furniture ready for me to try it out on! I’ve been dithering about how to finish it and then your video popped up, so thank you for the tutorial! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕
Can u mix chalk paints. Love the makeover your so gifted. Thanks for sharing. Amazing I have a black Shay bed set and want to do a greyish greenish color. I know that sounds so crazy lol
Lol okay now I just watched the video omg Jackson is growing up so much, he is just too cute. I really miss my three boys being young little boys 😢 so it’s always nice to see with you’re kiddos.
Looks great!! Surprised you didn’t do it with paint. The dark wax always makes me nervous!! I’ve had to strip it off too with mineral spirits when it didn’t turn out how I envisioned!! Jackson is a cutie!!! ❤️
Good job as always.... Perhaps next time in another project like this, you might use the vacuum hose attached to the orbit sander instead of the bag, probably would help you some.
Hello, Christina! I love your channel and your amazing energy! Thanks soooo much for all of your hard work! I have a question about a dresser that I am painting. I sanded and primed it with two coats of Kilz 3. I want it to have a farmhouse distressed look. Can I do that with dark wax like you did in this video? I started by painting the drawer fronts with Rustoleum chalk paint in flannel gray but I didn't like it so I painted over them with a duck egg blue which gave them a beautiful rich color. My intention was to paint the whole dresser in that color but since using the blue over the gray I'm thinking about painting over the white primer with a creamy white and then using dark wax over the top. How can I make the overall piece look distressed with a mellow and natural feel? My husband was expecting gray and now it's totally different... Any tips on which products to use to finish up my project? I have Lowe's and Home Depot nearby. Thanks for your time! God bless, Monica Ps I'm not sure how to attach a photo for your reference. Sorry!
Hey Christina! I just read a reply to gave to another comment about your consulting work. Thanks! I know you're busy! I'll plug along and hopefully it'll turn out beautiful!
Thank you for this video! I’ve painted a desk with the help of your video :) I have a question though-I didn’t sand the desk of the previous black color and now the previous color is peeking through as my husband keeps accidentally placing items on it and it gets nicked-what would you recommend to help with that?
Looks great.. in which I'm not surprised :). I didn't see you needing to add water to paint and or brush unless I missed that. Is it different with that paint? I haven't tried yet, but may soon.
Absolutely beautiful! I just redid our dark king sized bed in Annie Sloan Original White. Unbelievable how much it lightened the whole room! I also did some wall shelves a couple of years ago using Coco and dry brushing dark wax on top for a wood look. It was super easy and turned out amazing. I didn’t see you using water to thin your paint this time. I always use water so I was wondering if maybe the reason you didn’t was the Dixie Bell paint. I’ve started using more Dixie Bell paint so I wanted to know if there is a trick I’m not aware of. Lol Also, any time I use dark wax over a white or Old Ochre color I always mix my dark wax with clear wax for a cleaner result. Thanks for another great video! I’m going to have to try some Zibra brushes! That square brush looks like a time saver.
Most quarts of furniture paint cover 150 Sq. Ft. I usually use half a can of paint for a dresser with 6 drawers- hope that gives you a better idea to estimate for your project!
I'm glad you did this video and I'm very glad I subscribe to you! This is exactly what I want to do to my dark wood bedroom set!!! I have other projects ahead of that one but when it's done I will tag you to it on Instagram!!!

Hi there. I have a similar bed to this one. The side rails on my piece are. metal. Are the ones here metal or wood? What would you suggest I use on metal?

Wow! Love watching this redo. Excited about the zipper comforter....thinking of my friend who’s daughter has twin boys 4 yrs old.
My kids love their Beddy's bed sets!
Aww you and your son are so precious together.
Thank you
Love the bed frame color. Thanks for leaving your mistakes on camera and showing us how you fix them!
Thanks for watching!
This looks beautiful. Great idea to add just a tiny bit of the dark wax to the clear wax.
Yes! Thank you!

I'm painting my king headboard this weekend and am also using Sand Bar! I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Beautiful job. Jackson is a sweetheart. I have a Jack too but at 37 no more snuggles. :-(
Thank you
Have you ever tried this technique using a glaze? Do you have any videos showing a technique using glaze?
Thanks for sharing your videos!

How does the palm brush treat your wrist? Certain brushes kill my wrist and it will hurt for a day or two after painting a piece.
So cute! I need to get one of those covers for my son. Bed looks great!
You should! They're great!
Well done !!!! I do like this color 🙂
Thank you! 😊

Wow I am new in your channel, and I love it..bed looks awesome..
Welcome!!
Love it! Great idea!
Thank you! 😊
My son's bed has the exact same teeth marks :)
Looks amazing!
Thank you
Did you sand the whole bed before paint? And other question - Dixie Paint 1 gallon is good size for the bed, dresser, two end tables, and console?
Most quarts of furniture paint cover 150 Sq. Ft. I usually use half a can of paint for a dresser with 6 drawers- hope that gives you a better idea to estimate for your project!
