Congrats on 100k. I appreciate your paint wisdom and economical way of doing things. From using a wide variety of non-boutique paint to regular masking tape (way cheaper and still works well), you do it up big without looking budget.
Congratulations Shannon. You are one of my favorites. I've learned so much from you and I love your easy going way of doing it all. Just seeing you use the masking tape to pour the paint is another valuable tip I just learned from you !😊😊
Congratulations 🎉. I’m always thrilled when you upload something new. I hope to still be watching when your daughter pops her head into the frame, demanding the car keys!
CONGRATS on 100K !! Woo Hoo !!!! I love your channel, & content, & your vibe. I am always excited to see a new video. Thank you for sharing your experience with us !!!!
Congratulations on 100k! Thank you for always being 'real'. From your teachable moments with your adorable little girl to learning from your mistakes and passing the lesson along - I appreciate your videos!
Just built myself a 'Woodworkers Tool Chest' and also just put the first coat on 'Rustoleum Milk Paint Black' going to put another 2 more coats on before I wax it, brought four small steel caster wheels for it so I can easily move around the workshop!
Congratulations on 100K! I just found you very recently and love your work! Thanks for all the tips and inspiration! Just adore your little helper 😊 Keep up the good work!!
that is BEAUTIFUL!! i absolutely love that dresser. Hope I can find one to paint some day. Black isn't my jam but it sure is gorgeous. (digging the square knobs)
Congrats🎉🎉 much deserved!! I started painting with your 3 in 1 paint in the beginning and with your recommendations I started painting with enamel enriched paints. Love watching your videos.❤
Short nap mohair rollers work great with oil based coatings. The trick to laying it out is to let the coating rest for 5-12 minutes after application and then re-roll it to pop the air bubbles. You start with the 5 minute rest and more pressure then a longer rest and decrease the pressure. Repeat the process of rest (the resting is allowing it to dry down some more) and re-roll, rest and re-roll... with each time using less pressure, until your final pass is virtually no pressure running the roller across. At that point it will be bubble free and laid out like a perfect spray job. Sounds laborious but it goes really fast and works like a charm. Water based coatings dry too fast for the mohair roller process. Also always pre-wet any roller with the solvent for the finish you're using (water/water based, mineral spirits for oil based) and squeeze out until barely damp before proceeding to load with coating. This removes any lint/debris, makes the coating roll out better and clean up much easier.
Congrats 🎉. From a fellow furniture recycler in Savannah Ga ....... One of my highlights of my week is tuning into your RUclips channel. I watch most of your projects repeatedly for inspiration and confidence. Thanks so much Oh I can’t forget. Hug your 3 foot assistant for me.
I do like my Staalmeester micro fiber rollers. I use the skinny ones and they get into tighter corners than the whizz. i get 10 for $30. I can reuse them like the whizz rollers. And a big congratulations on 100k. When people ask me how to get started i recommend 3 influencers to watch and you are one. Love that dresser. That style sells very well in my area too.
I was mixing your 3 paint recipe ingredients and messed up, causing the need to double the recipe. All I had to hold that much paint was a cardboard milk carton which actually worked out great! I used tape & binder clips to hold the top closed and could easily pour using the screw top lid. Just removed the binder clips to stir it over the course of my project. I might actually use this for future projects!
Gorgeous. I am a newby and redoing a china cabinet. Not sure weather to do oil enriched or milk paint?? I am soooo confused. I am leaning towards oil enriched.
New subscriber. Absolutely thrilled to have found your channel. I have honestly learned more from watching just a few of your videos than from months of research and watching other tutorials. Going to spend entire day binging and taking notes. I have several pieces of furniture that need painting and you are a godsend. 😊
What is the difference in the completed finish of the milk or chalk paints with a sealant (do you always use polyurethane?) vs the oil enriched enamel? I’m going to try painting my first piece but don’t know how to decide which paint. Originally thought I’d need to use the enamel bc I thought the chalk/milk paints would wear off too easily but realizing that might not be the case since you sealed it with polyurethane
Shannon, I'm trying to refinish my bedroom furniture that you have inspired me to do. Especially because I have the very same piece you did two years ago for your bedroom. So I want to copy step by step but to make yours one of a kind I'll change up the color. You r the best!!!! I've watched ALL your videos. But in the video titled "dresser makeover using my 1 step paint recipe-Madeline Olivia inspired you didn't mention how to do the top color which I'm in love with. Please please respond with this info so I don't botch this thing. Then cross your fingers I've learned well enough from the Black sheep house. Lol
I actually just sanded and left the wood as is for a year bc I wasn’t sure what to do but recently I did a tan paint wash and sealed it with some wax. I used 1 part paint and 2 parts water and the color I used is called harvest brown by Behr
I noticed earlier in the week that you had reached 100,000 subscribers. I am so excited for you! What an achievement! !!! Good for you! This turned out absolutely beautiful. I love the square knobs. Did you scuff sand before painting?
Woohoo!! Congrats 🎉 I have some supplies now to try out the Pottery Barn wood look… just need to get a piece to paint. I’m kind of caught off guard each video I’ve watched that you’re painting with all the drawers in usually. I’m not sure why I had this notion that they always have to be removed-is there ever a situation where it is recommended to remove them while painting the rest of the piece..? Or does it seem to always work out fine leaving them in? THANK YOU for your tutorials… you put them together SO WELL!!
Thanks 🎉 As for the drawers in or out it really depends on your preference. Most times I take them all out to clean inside the dresser and then I paint the parts that are inside that will be visible and then I put the drawers back in and go for it with them in and slightly open or I open them slightly after painting so they don’t dry and stick . The reason I do it that way is bc less debris falls in my finish with them vertical and it’s better on my back. But you just do whatever feels best to you for each project ❤️💃
Congratulations to 100k!!! 🎉 This is such a beautiful piece. I'm trying to get into furniture makeovers, and had a question: Why didn't you strip and sand the old stain and varnish? Is it necessary to do that?
Thanks! It isn’t necessary to do that, especially using a proper paint or primer made for slicker surfaces. If the piece has scratches that need to be smoothed the. You’ll need to sand or if your piece is especially slippery a bit of sanding is helpful for sure. You’ll see on my channel I use a lot of paints and procedures are a bit different each piece depending on what kind of damage there is and what paint I’m using. Welcome to this fun world!!!
Hey there, I’d love to connect! I’m in AU Mama of my lovely lil lady and working part time in a job where creativity is out the window. I have just started dabbling in furniture flipping and I am loving it. I just wanted to know how you network and sell your work within your community. If you have time of course. Thank you and love your work.

What a nice comment, I’m excited for your new journey into painting furniture 💕
Love the color! Can’t find them at all is it call Black carbon?
I LOVE THIS VIDEO
Can you do this with chalk paint as well? The mixture combo with paint and polyurethane
Your daughter is so cute!
Did you paint the insides of the drawers too? No sanding the old finish before?!?!

Originally thought I’d need to use the enamel bc I thought the chalk/milk paints would wear off too easily but realizing that might not be the case since you sealed it with polyurethane
Do you not need to sand the piece first with milk paint?
No, it adheres so well

Do you sand the piece if you’re using milk paint ?
Do you rough sand your wood pieces before panting (assuming you didn’t need to repair it) or just dive in?
Beautiful as always.. How come you didn't do a light scuff sand before painting? ❤
This particular milk paint adheres so well you really can skip it on most wood projects
no sanding needed?
Love your channel ❤ Is it ok to use the Rustoleum Flat Black Latex paint on a wooden dresser? Or should I not use latex paint on furniture? Thanks ❤
Spray paint is great but If you want to use the stuff for walls latex then you’ll have to prime and do a topcoat bc just latex tends to peel
Canyou just paint over without stripping or sanding? i thought was a necessary step
I noticed earlier in the week that you had reached 100,000 subscribers. I am so excited for you! What an achievement! !!! Good for you! This turned out absolutely beautiful. I love the square knobs. Did you scuff sand before painting?
Thank you!! And I’m serious about lunch or coffee! Email me your number blacksheeprestoration@gmail.com
Congratulations on 100 K. Do I need to scuff sand the dresser before using milk paint? Sending you love from Maine ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
No, just clean it well, the adhesion for rustoleum milk paint is amazing
So you don't do any sanding/stripping prior
To painting?
Not with milk paint bc it adheres so well luckily
Woohoo!! Congrats 🎉

Title says Carbon but the paint can says Eclipse. Either way it's lovely 🌹
Oh thank you! I need to fix that!
@@blacksheephouse still, you're the best and a fellow Georgian. Love ya!
your girl is so cute.
There is mo hair on the tape 😂😂😂😂
Square handles on curved furniture is a mismatch for me. Something a little more graceful would look better.
geez less is more
i hate mahogany. there is nothing worse than mahogany
that roller is for a fake stucko look
