As someone who also has been refinishing furniture for year, I thought this was one of the best beginner tutorials I have ever seen. I get a lot of calls from friends who attempt this process who get some guidance from the paint stores. And their projects are a hot mess! ❣
RUclips.
I agree!!
Katie you are such a good teacher. I’m getting up my courage to start a night stand project soon, thanks for your beginner tutorial.😊
Agree
I literally just finished a large dresser yesterday. It’s real wood, so I sanded it down with a palm sander 60 grit/100 grit/220 grit. Thoroughly cleaned and primed with 1-2-3. Next day (yesterday), painted black, two coats, 2hours apart. This morning it looks fantastic. I’m waiting another 24 hours before I put drawers back in.
I'd love to see your results! And what paint did you use?
Bestie. Can I give a video suggestion? I often have difficulty determining the types of surfaces to sand and how much sanding to do. For example in this video you did a very quick scuff sand and in some videos you spend 6 hours of labor sanding. How do I know how much sanding needs to be done on the various types of wood surfaces? Thanks!
Wow, they came out awesome without groundbreaking construction techniques, 37 different tools, and years of experience! 👍
Wow! Talk about turning two sow’s ears into silk purses. These look very high end now that you’ve worked your magic. Another great project (and video) Katie!
You are helping me believe that I can stain, paint and do repairs to a few pieces in my home. You explain your process so well. Then you show us through video how you physically do the work. The end results of your refinishing is beyond what I expect. You are creative and talented. Thank you for the time you take to make these videos. The details have made me want to attempt the same.
I never thought I would like those original pulls, but, with the new colors, they look great!
I have a cabinet that I purchased at auction which I've been planning to paint but kept putting off. After watching your video I feel more confident and ready to approach that project. Thanks for giving me a bit of oomph toward doing the job!
Love the navy with the brass pulls, looks stylish and chic.
I LOVE that you chose a dark color. The original pieces have visual weight and to whitewash them would look mismatched. The dark blue matches the substantial construction but elevated them. They look regal, classy and sophisticated. Well done.
They turn out to be beautiful !!! And the color is amazing. love this short workshop how to paint properly a piece off furniture !
You are a life saver. I live in an apartment without elevators and need to paint old heavy furniture instead of purchasing new furniture that i really can't afford. You have instilled confidence in me to tackle this project the right way. Thank you my dear!
Thank you Katie! Great to go over the basics from time to time!
Love the blue and brass together. Simple elegance.
As always, you do such an amazing job on some not great looking pieces of furniture! It turned out beautiful. Also, thanks for breaking it down into easy & simple steps to remake a piece of furniture.
A very clear, well explained video on the basics of painting a piece of furniture! Great job Katie!
What a great video that demonstrates well and clearly how to refinish not-too-damaged furniture. I really want to try doing this! Thank you!
As always….Looks fantastic. Great paint color, loved the more gold handles after those were brightened up with the metal paint!
I do the same with the rollers. I'm glad you said it. They look fab and I love the colour
Hi Katie - so glad I found your channel! This video will be really helpful as I get ready ready to refinish end tables for our family room. Your work is really beautiful and you’ve explained everything so well. From one Canadian to another - thanks for sharing your wisdoms!!
It looks really great. Thanks for breaking down the basics. 💝
I’ve been painting furniture for about two years and I still feel like a beginner. I always learn from your videos! 😊
Your projects always turn out so beautiful 😍
I have been waiting for this type of makeover. Perfect timing! Love your channel.
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us! The nightstands look beautiful! 😊❤
This helps so much! My first 2 pieces do not look very nice. So now that you've shown me what to do, I will try again. Thank you!
Your instructions are very clear. Sounds easy to do. Thanks Katie
Hi Katie. You are very talented. I love your projects. I am inspired each time I watch. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
I have been repainting furniture for years also. And learning from my mistakes (like, don't try to clear coat over dark colors, lol) but I'm glad to have watched this, as I've learned something new! And with some new projects on my horizon, I am glad to have learned them!
Wow! Who knew particle board furniture could be sooo beautiful!! Thank you so much! ❤
I absolutely love how these turned ou! Very helpful video, thanks so much! I am about to begin my first projects, so this was so timely.
Great simple straightforward instructions. End product is beautiful.
This is an excellent tutorial for beginning furniture painters like me. It's filled with really practical advice and makes the whole process seem much less daunting. Thank you for a great video!
Oh thank you for all the tips. I have been trying to flip furniture for the last year and am still learning. I just love your videos. Thanks
I sometimes watch other furniture flippers' videos, but I always come back to you. Watched every single video of yours.
With you I can rely on always getting a new, unique and tasteful design and really creative ideas. It's such a treat to watch.
All the best from Germany.
Those night stands turned out sooo nice. I love the color. They have more life in them now.
WOW!!! They turned out great! Love the color and hardware together - perfect! ❤
Hi Katie....I've been painting furniture for many years but I watched this anyway because I just knew I would learn something I didn't know from you....and I did. Thank you so much for your wonderful ideas!
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve painted a few pieces, but I still consider myself a newbie lol. Your video was very informative and I’m so glad I watched it, and grateful you made it.
I feel ready to start my first project! Love that you explained the steps. Knowing the “why” and not just the “how” is so helpful. And the little tips along the way were great! Thanks for sharing.
Me, too! I’m ready to go thrift some night stands and do them up in this exact color scheme!
Beautiful job as always. You selection of paint brands is a good introduction for beginners as well as those of us who would like a change. Thank you!
Great, simple tutorial. Thank you! Just what I need to attempt a first paint project in about 15 yrs 😊
Very nice. You made junk furniture look really good and functional.
Great instructions, ready to use on my thrifted night tables. Thankyou for sharing your talent with us.
Great tips to keep us on the right track. I will definitely look into the paints you recommended to reduce use of a top coat.
These look so incredibly classy after you painted them he looks so much more high-end, and certainly what you came in the door with
Love this furniture flip. And the color is gorgeous!
WOW!!! These night stands turned out so beautifully! I just love them!!! ❤
Thank you for posting this video. I feel much more comfortable tackling my first try at painting some tired furniture of ours.
I’m just getting started into flipping furniture, and I usually don’t comment on videos but I have to say your video has been the most helpful one I have seen yet! Iv watched probably 20 other videos so far to just drill the info into my brain and see peoples different techniques and tricks they do. Thank you so much for this video!
Great video, thank you! My grand daughter has my parents (her great grandparents) bedroom suite bought in the mid 1940’s. I chickened out on painting it. Now I feel more confident but will start with the piece less used just to make sure I know what I’m doing.
Katie, they look beautiful and your tutorial was great🎉. Thanks so much!
You are an amazing teacher! Even with years of experience (although not full time like you), I learn so much from you. And Even if they are reminders, it is SO helpful. I’ve never tried those rollers because of the fuzz. But the trick to wash them out before is so easy- but brilliant. Whey haven’t I thought of that? 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I tried the Alkyd paint because of you and loved it. It has a little learning curve when you are used to chalk paint, but my piece came out with such a beautiful smooth finish. Haven’t put it up for sale yet, so we will see how others like it. 😊 This is one video I’ll be saving, for myself and to share with friends and family who are looking to update a piece when I don’t have time to do it for them. Katie, you are just AWESOME!
I’m so happy someone in my Facebook group recommended your videos. This tells me a lot about why I’m seeing brush and roller marks. I’m definitely looking for a perfect finish first coat. Thank you!!
Simply beautiful!
Thank you I’m a beginner and this video gives me the information and inspiration I need. Thank you Kate
I’ve been watching your vids for literally years and I still learned something new from today’s vid! Although I’ve been watching for years I am just getting started with projects of my own so this was definitely helpful. I’m going to try out that paint on one of my projects (a writing desk) and in fact that color is exactly what I had in mind. They look great!
I still learn something new with EVERY project!
Thank you for the thorough explanation. Thought this would be hard when I first thought about getting into this. But after the watching this, I now feel a lil more confident
I just got my first piece of furniture that I am excited to get started on. Thank you for creating this easy to follow instructional video for beginners.
These came out GORGEOUS! And im so glad you kept the hardware!
They look great! Thanks for sharing this! ❣️
Just finished a dresser - duplicated every step from your video. Am SO pleased with the end results. I did find a piece of lint stuck in the finish on the top drawer. I think I’ll just live with it - don’t want to mess up a good thing! Thanks for a wonderful tutorial 😊
What an excellent tutorial, thank you! Your explanations were incredibly clear, and mentioning what might (seem to) go wrong was super helpful.
Thanks for the tutorial, loved the pieces you finished.
Thank you so much. Exactly what I needed to fix broken veneer on my mother's beautiful chest of drawers!
Well, they do look so much better. It seems like you can flip almost any furniture, regardless of how poor the original finish was. Kudos!
Katie, This was very helpful. I have a piece of furniture I want to paint & I have been putting it off for months, so this was great info for me. Thanks!!
Great back to basics video! Beautiful result and the original hardware is perfect!
That looks amazing!!!❤❤
Not only do your projects turn out beautifully, but the explanations are so clear and helpful.
They look great!! It was so nice to see this low tech flip. I'm using the behr alkyd enamel on my next flip, so looking forward to seeing how it turns out!
How did it go? Did the paint hold up ok? I’m about to try it myself 😅
Simply beautiful. A pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Wow excellent job - what an improvement!!! And to think way back pretty much all furniture was the same dark color and we lived with it that way - who knew that we could paint our own furniture and how fantastic it would look??!!
Well done. I agree with using alkyd paint for durability and great finishes. I've used Dulux Melamine Alkyd paint for cupboards and it's second to none!
Thank you for you video. I'm going to be starting with some laminated pieces I have around the house for practice. You have given me inspiration to be successful without the huge expense. Thank you 😊
Ok, you've encouraged me. I'm going to tackle my first project. Thanks for the clear, concise tutorial!
Great job. Live them.
Picked up my Native. Yeah!!!! First time. Excited.
I have been binge watching your videos and enjoyed them all. This is in my top three favorites. You take a beginner step by step through the process, explaining how to get a great looking finish even with a limited number of supplies. I have a piece in mind very similar in material to these nightstands that I now have the confidence to tackle myself at some point in the future. Thank you for posting this how-to!
Love em!!
Excellent tutorial, grate clear advice. Thank you
Omg! They look so elegant! Great job!!
Thank you so much🎉 ❤. These tips were so helpful. I want my furniture to look great and last. Not a hot mess. These info videos help me understand the steps , get brave and go ahead and try. Your the best
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! These turned out absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for the detailed video ❤
I’m about to paint a dresser black. Thank you for the tip about not putting a poly coat on after painting. You saved time, money and probably anxiety.
They turned out beautiful and I love Native ☺️💕
Those look wonderful! Thank you for all those great tips, very, very helpful to me!
You always get a lovely smooth finish.
Thank you so much for sharing this - from Sydney Australia. you have made some great tips especially using cans of soup and the plastic bag to stop the paint from drying up. Cannot wait to watch the next video you make 😊
Love the finished look
Gorgeous Katie!! I love your work!!
I love the color and love watching your videos. I learn something every time.
Dear Katie, j'adore ton travail et j'aime te regarder quand tu renoves tous ces meubles. Je fais ça aussi depuis longtemps déjà mais je n'ai pas ta patience. Il fallait toujours que ça aille vite. Résultat, la plupart du temps ce n'etait pas bien fait m is j'etais contente que c'est soit terminé ☺️. Maintenant avec toi et tes vidéos j'ai appris tellement des choses et surtout à prendre mon temps pour bien faire les choses pour un beau résultat. Merci Katie et continue comme ça 👍🤗😀. Encore un bon travail achevé avec un super beau finie
Bons baisers de France
I'm a newbie about to start..
Thank you for this video it felt like I was standing with you🎉🎉🎉
They look absolutely incredible at the end wow 🤩🥰😍
Thanks for the tips Katie! Plenty of take aways for my next project.
Thanks for a beginner lesson. I’ve watched all your videos, and some other furniture flippers as well. I really want to paint some of my own pieces to start but feel a bit overwhelmed. This made it simpler. Thanks so much ❤
You can do it!
Very nice. Traditional and classy.
Thank you! Perfect video for beginners, easy to follow
Your work is inspiring. Very well detailed and easy to follow. I appreciate you!
