    Thank you for mentioning CURING time. Most people don't talk about it because it requires patience, and most people don't have that. Many paint manufacturers don't mention curing time anywhere, and each paint seems to have a different time (not to mention local climate). They NEVER want to discourage the customer from buying. I find that if you don't respect cure time, strange and ugly things can happen. Also, priming: what an important step towards a successful outcome that few want to talk about. Most people are lazy and want to skip that step. A lot of people hate the word SANDING. The art of sanding well should never be overlooked or dismissed. You are a superb content provider, and a very talented artist. Thank you sharing.

    Good tips! Fantastic idea on damp brush with chalk paint!
    One thing I've found true and learned from a designer is to never shake paint, Especially chalk paint. She recommends you store upside down and always keep sealed as you do, but also I turn them on the side and roll them back and forth to get a good stir. Shaking paint causes bubbles in the paint which is not good for pure color transfer when painting.

    Hi Christina, I have watched hundreds of videos and nobody explains things better then you . Nobody has your simplicity of visual tutoring like you do . Nobody has your warm voice and flair of the flow. My project will be my living room floor that is 99 years old coming to the conclusion that the best way to renew this floor is to chalk paint it using a blend method of two colors . As you said if you screw up you can always repaint it .

    First time I have seen EVERYTHING I needed to know in one video - THANK YOU! - fellow BC lady!!! I have watched tons of videos on chalk paint with Annie Sloan herself, ("on no, you don't need to prime" - really, Annie??)and lots of other videos from ladies in the painting world - and have finished alot of furniture myself, sanding, stripping, swearing - yes swearing - and staining. Having finally pried open a can of chalk paint for the first time, I painted one coat on my beautiful vintage drop leaf storage table, found bleed through so now I've sanded and primed - waiting for it to dry for a day or so, then, armed with my spray bottle and new brush, I will be re-watching your video and attempting to finish my table! Thank you!!!! Soooo helpful!

      Oak is a hard one. Because the oily knots come through. Best to prime oak furniture for sure. Chalk paint will not cover it and it bleeds through. So I’d like to know if a good primer as well

I am tackling two wingback chairs; this will be my first furniture paint project. Sure, I could have started with something small, but I'm a go-big or stay-home kind of lady, so let the painting begin. Worse case, there is an upholstery shop just a few clicks away. lol

    Excellent presentation! A couple points I want to remember are: Don’t mix tap water in the paint. Don’t wax b4 painting & more. I love the fact that you stress that if you don’t like the end product, the color of the paint, or whatever, it’s no big deal ....it can be done over. thanks for that!

    You certainly have put my mind at ease. I have several pieces of older furniture that I want to chalk paint but have actually been too anxious to begin, thinking they may be ruined or the colors will not be as I had hoped. I can redo them! Such practical, good tips and even your voice is soothing. I compare this new undertaking to trying computers over 20 yrs ago, thinking I would break the machine or wipe all good work away. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

    @TheFiown 3 года назад +18

    Can I use this on wall panelling ( new ) I'm so tired of commercial paint that here in France is about 75 euros for 2,5 litres that need sometimes three coats, it makes painting really expensive. Primer paint is just as expensive and I have a horrible memory of that. One year with a friend we took apart her dated oak kitchen, scrubbed it, sanded it, primed it, rubbed it down each time then gave it more than two coats and it just chipped and rubbed at once, not to mention bubbles as if we were painting on oil. If I had know chalk paint then it would have helped. I've not seen it used on walls yet ?

    I love this video. I wish I had watched it *before* I started chalk painting some oak kitchen cabinets that had pretty good coat of varnish on them. I've painted all of them with one coat of Annie Sloan Chalk paint original white. A few of the drawers I have painted a second time. But they still end of looking distressed and not super white. I'm thinking about doing sanding the cabinets down, applying primer to all of them and the then painting the last coat. I will say, adding water to the paint does help a lot. I think my first coat was too thick. Do you think adding the primer and sanding will help?

      I always use any top coat product ( lacquer, clear wax , hemp oil etc) after any glazing or colour wash etc. I have definitely made the same error on my earlier projects!! 😉

    Thank you Christina. Love watching your videos and learning from you - also live in BC where the weather can be extreme 😊 I have been having fun with furniture, but would like to do a wall. A vintage Paris wall. I’ve noticed a beautiful wall in the back ground of some of your finished projects. Did you paint your wall , and if so , do you have a video of the project? Thanks again for you fun and informative videos. You rock 🤗

    I have just come across this video and I am happy for that. Thank you for your clear, thorough and precious tips!
    When you mention mixing chalk paint, is it advisable to mix acrylic paint with chalk paint to add some colour? Sometimes it would be just a dab of acrylic which comes in tubes to mix with chalk paint base (white/neutral).

    Thank you, Christina, so much for all your wonderful videos and instructions. I’m in the process of repainting a piece I wasn’t happy with. Cleaned off the wax with mineral spirits, rinsed with water, then sanded. Is there any thing else I should do before repainting to make sure the wax doesn’t cause adhesion issues? Should I prime?

      @TheReclaimedHeirloom  4 года назад +2

      Hi Bianca
      You should be good to go! I have painted over many pieces that I have previously painted with chalk paint and wax.
      Painting over chalk paint no problem!!
      And as long as the wax is removed at least most of it you are good to go for a new makeover 🤗💙🎨

    Great informative video! What kind of sand paper do you recommend for working on a table and chairs? I want to strip the black green paint and turn it white. Also is dish soap enough to remove and clean old furniture?

    • @TheReclaimedHeirloom
      @TheReclaimedHeirloom  Год назад +1

      Yes you can use a less coarse grit like 120 or 220 to lightly scuff the paint off, if you want it all off then try a more coarse grit sandpaper like 80 grit. yes dish soap is fine to clean your furniture. I hope you like today's new video! ❤️🎨🙏

    💐Hello Christina...
    Great Video, I really appreciate these videos because their are many things you are telling us that I had to learn the hard way and it can be quite frustrating to say the least....
    I have a few questions:
    Have you ever used liming wax on any of your projects? If you have, can you use two paints and then use the liming wax? Let me kind of explain what I am doing. My colors in my home will be Black, Antique White or Beige with accents of Red, I purchased a Gorgeous China Cabinet and my thinking was to color it first (after the primer of course), a red then paint over that in black, sand it around the edges to let a little of the red come through and then finally, use the liming wax and lastly do a wax or polyurethane.. I hope I am explaining this in a way that you can picture what I am thinking about doing. Mostly, I just want to know if using red under the black is going too far? Or, Should I use the Antique White in place of the red and just use accents of red in my decor or Visa Versa, go with red and use Antique White as an accent? Our home that my husband is building is a Cabin done in Pine and our roof is a brighter red. I am also thinking of just painting it black and using the liming wax only. What to do, right....
    I thank you for letting us ask you these painting and decor questions, it will help so much!
    By the way, I am 65 and this is my very first home that we saved for and it will be paid for in full, so everything I am doing is very important to me and I want it to look really nice and cozy....
    🌺Blessings to You Christina....
    Your Friend,
    Marley

      The waxing part is a question I thought of after I had already sent the message so thank you for bringing that to my attention. I watched a video of the liming process but I could not remember if the woman waxed after liming or used polyurethane....

    Great info! I live in sunny Florida and try to paint in the garage on occasion. I don’t recommend it if it can be avoided. Some pieces are just too large to schlep into the house. So glad you mentioned water in paint jars. I have one that I must have done that with and - just wow! Not pleasant to open. I assumed that was the issue, but now you have confirmed my suspicion.
