One of the first “flippers” I ever subscribed to and learned from was you, Christina. I learned so much over these past 9 years and have tried a lot of your techniques and they have served me well. This was a great video. Easy to follow and I hope it encourages those who watch it to take the step to create beautiful pieces for their own homes.

If you brush towards the edge it will not cause dips as bad.

Yes, I'm going to bite the bullet and paint the slender console table in my entry! I spray painted it with Krylon several years ago, so I'll definitely need to scuff sand first.

Thank you for this video. I have been wanting to paint a cedar chest I use as a coffee table. My end tables are black, and I have a black cabinet in my living room. The cedar chest has some damage on the bottom legs. But I know that would need wood filler. I just don’t know if it’s wood or veneer. It’s a Lane cedar chest. But the back isn’t finished. So it would be if I painted it. I would love to paint all my bedroom furniture. But it’s real wood. We bought it probably thirty some years ago. So I’m not sure if I really want to. I love the hardware you chose. I definitely would change the hardware on my cedar chest. Mine has some old looking pulls. It sounds like a lot of work. My patience level isn’t too high right now. Maybe I’ll try to talk my husband into doing it. But I know if I want it done right, I should do it. So maybe after all the holidays are over I will have time.

Your vintage Lane cedar chest might be worth some nice money if in original condition. Maybe look into it before you do any changes. ❤

@lizziedae91 8 ай бұрын

Do you have a video discussing different paints you have tried and their odor? I’m someone who gets headaches from strong smells so I’m hesitant to spend a lot of money on paint and not be able to use it

Do you like the sprayers with cords better than the cordless ones? I'm going to be buying my first one soon and want a cordless sprayer and hope the battery lasts. Also, which sprayer do you think works the best/has the best features?

@ChristinaMuscari 8 ай бұрын

My favorite for beginners is the Wagner Flexio. I have a corded version because that is going to be lighter and give less fatigue for your arm. Here is a link to the one I use.www.shopltk.com/explore/pretty_distressed/posts/e1863908-3ae3-11ee-b996-0242ac110004

Love that you’re doing a basic. Can’t go wrong with that. Whats the benefit of doing your second coat on the body horizontal ? Does that help eliminate brushstrokes?

@ChristinaMuscari 8 ай бұрын

It's just stylistic. I like the way it looks almost like linen cross hatch. You could also paint in the same direction for a smoother look.

When do you have to use the Zinsser with the red label? I think it hides the tannins better but it’s really expensive.

When you are painting a light color over raw wood or if you are painting laminate.

Do you ever add paint to the top coat

Only when it a dark color to avoid hazing.

@Dingle1234 8 ай бұрын

QUESTION: So you talked about leaving the drawers IN, in a recent video, being easier. Did you mean just when using a sprayer?

@ChristinaMuscari 8 ай бұрын

With this particular nightstand you can't leave the drawers in because they aren't flush to the frame. They rest on the frame, so if you left them in the frame wouldn't be fully painted. I would have had to remove them to spray as well in this case.

@basketballmaven1454 8 ай бұрын

shouldn't you be painting up and down on the sides and not sideways on the sides because you paint up and down on a door. when you paint up and down the brush strokes are harder to see

That’s right. Always go with the grain of the wood.
