Happy Mothers Day weekend! What did you all think of the paint color?? Would you have chose this or gone neutral ?

[@doriscassan6996]

Happy Mother's Day to you too!

[@user-vv6zl1fl9p]

Loved color!!!!

[@0852555]

I think with more people adding color back into their homes that this was a great choice!

[@christineschiebel2890]

I loved the color, it was the half spheres I was stuck on. Good job

[@katalintorok2538]

The color is perfect, design is adorable with those half circles. Great job!

[@TheSmerickson]

love the buttons and the color! just beautiful. I might have thought about adding round ball feet to add some legs and more interest. But, I still love it!

[@0852555]

Agree about the ball feet

[@julieann7609]

The color is indeed a wow statement… I admire a solid wood piece because the longevity is certainly there. Bleed-thru will be bleed-thru - thank you for showing how to re-do. Trying something new like those half circles really brought the dresser to a different level. It looks amazing! I would’ve gone with a pop of color versus neutral tones… Thank you for sharing the journey, the mishap and the correction. It’s great to have friends in the same field whose expertise you trust. I enjoy watching both named creators as well. 🌷 God bless.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Aww thank you Julie! Appreciate your comment

[@mattneillninasmom]

A carefully crafted and beautiful redo of a sad looking piece. Love the color!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much!

[@pattycarosi9618]

This looks beautiful!

[@lisagutierrez1955]

Soooo beautiful and definitely worth the meticulous work you put into it, wow! 😍👏😍

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much!

[@briemills9209]

Very pretty! Kudos for playing the long game on the bleed through problem.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you!

[@smh1072]

I. Love it. I did notice though where you sanded primer on the drawers, you didn’t go over it again with primer before painting colour. X

[@sanjosefurnitureflip4758]

Modern Jenny Lind, I love it!❤

[@ChristineWear-vy6ue]

My favorite color-almost matches my bedroom walls! Would love to see you do an entire bedroom suite sometime :) Happy Day!

[@ChristineWear-vy6ue]

Also, I’m a tech idiot…where do I find what you sold this for?

[@cindyhoward9620]

Love the color!

[@TheAfezio]

very nice touch with the detail.

[@patriciaclark1358]

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much!

[@bonneymac38]

Wow - I never would have thought of those round thingys - love them!

[@salvagedbykscott]

I know this one was a pain in the @$$ but I think it’s my favourite Lemons Flip yet! The beads and that green are perfection.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

She’s waiting for you my love, head south and come get her!! Lol P.S. im literally watching yours now!

[@Fortheloveoffurniture]

Hello… I’m curious about the comment that clear shellac will crackle? I’ve never experienced this and was just wondering if it will happen over time, if it always happens, or if it’s circumstantial? Any insight would be great. Thank you

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

It’s just this particular paint on top of the clear shellac. I don’t have the issue with other brands.

[@marilynweist2645]

Love the color! 🎉

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you!!

[@gottathinkupanewone]

Beautiful color.

[@MARYBOORMAN]

Hi Cara! I love Wanderess colour! Great choice and the piece looks wonderful now. I think I would have chosen drawer krobs a tad larger for this piece. MeanwhileI admire your determination to chage on through despite the setbacks. :-) Great job! MQH

[@michelerussell9044]

I love the color on this. I think it would have been cool to carry the circles down to the bottom of the dresser as well. Happy Mothers Day.

[@janice5108]

I love the green,the half balls are cute too and Happy Mother's Day

[@janhaley1212]

I love it. Nice unique piece of furniture. I’m sorry it didn’t behave for you. At least you had decent weather. Happy Mother’s Day!

[@christineschiebel2890]

Love the color and the brass knobs. Good job

[@kimzimmerman2492]

WOW! I am so surprised at how much I love this piece! I would probably never paint something so large with that bold of a color but it looks stunning! The half circles are such a great addition and surprise I bet this will sell very quickly! Thanks for walking us through the trials you had with this piece. Love the education you bring to each project.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much!

[@kimhough7753]

Love the finished look Kara! A great idea using the buttons! I’m going to have to try those on one of my plain dressers! Happy Mothers Day! 🥰🥰

[@Sleepy_schneepy]

Another amazing flip. Glad you got through it. Never know what you’re up against until you start a project. Turned out great and love the ball additions. Happy Mothers Day to you.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thanks so much!

[@DebbieB-zy8zp]

LOVE the color!! Everything turned out great! Very pretty! Happy Mother’s Day!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you! You too!

[@aliferefurbished]

Love the bold color so much, and your design idea was perfect for this tall girl.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

#Bertha

[@bobbieloo814]

Love that color, I'm getting ready to paint a tall dresser that color. Thanks for the tips on painting, so helpful! Happy Mother's Day!💐💐

Love the colour, looks brilliant..

[@dorothypuntarich784]

❤Happy Mother's day 🌺 Great job😊 love the transformation

[@xxx-il9dv]

Nice color choice. A bold color v.s. the usual beige, gray, or white TFS!

[@2006marsha]

All the prep you did, turned out amazing.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!

[@christinesettles2985]

So, did you just prime the drawers again with the same shellac? Or did you use another kind? Beautiful and Happy Mothers Day! ❤

[@shawndelaney9311]

Love the color and the added 1/2 rounds very different.

[@markshaw5711]

Another beauty ❣️ I love the color! You asked what color we would choose… I tend to go neutrals, because I am not adventurous! But the design and color really work for this piece, no surprise, Kara! ❤️- Jill 😘

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much Jill :)

[@kmtx78]

What a neat design idea. I love the buttons and color!!!!!!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thanks so much!

[@lindaskitchen3317]

Thank you for being so honest with the process.!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@annisenhour4732]

Love the color

[@MaryAGray-jj9tp]

Loved the color, the half circles and the knobs! A lot of work but it turned out just beautiful!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much!

[@carrismith5110]

I love the color!!!

[@gingerdunn6590]

I hate when I get bleed through. I prefer a white or light blue . It turned out great. Prayers and Love ❤️ From Oklahoma

[@danielleweston1492]

I love it Kara! So well done and great inspo for us furniture artists!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@tristavalentour7575]

I love the color! The new details are super cute.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much!

[@donnamullins2089]

Happy Mothers Day to you. Sorry about all the bleed thru but it turned out beautiful. Good color.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thanks Donna!

[@CSWells-uq4jx]

My father In law thought me a trick where you can just use a coat of clear shellac to stop bleed through. He was a professional woodworker and furniture maker for years. It’s a great tip.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Yes that is what I used in the spray can but was told that it would crackle under the paint I chose. So back to the white primer.

[@sheriwulczynski1254]

Do you know why it would crackle?

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

It’s just this paint that has the issue

[@WWKofWHR]

Green is my favorite color and that green is really nice! That would be a great color for kitchen cabinets…

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

I think so too!

[@juliahelland6488]

Love that shade of green! 💯❣️

[@wwhiddon2245]

Beautiful ❣️❣️ Love the color ❤

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@fridaemilsson8868]

So beautiful 😍

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@lomatiki3370]

Hi from France ! And thanks for the beautiful flipping and the tips ☺️👍

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Hello!! Thanks for watching!

[@lindaposta939]

I used clear shellac on a pine piece to prevent the bleed through from the knots in the wood. This was on a large jewelry box and it crackled…I just went wilth the look like I meant for it to crackle. Now I know why. I wonder why you don’t remove the knobs before you clean. thanks. BTW this updated piece now looks high end! Happy Mothers Day!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Sometime I leave them on if the drawers are a little sticky and I think they will be hard to get out. If im not filming ill take them off and clean.

[@marywiggins7411]

Happy Mother's Day Kara

[@maxikaika]

I love the color. But I've used clear shellac lots of times and never had it crackle.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

It’s the paint I’m using on the top. It doesn’t mix well.

[@bettyengel1799]

Do you ever talk about the sprayer you use?

[@staceyremmele561]

Turned out gorgeous love the color! ❤.. You didn't put Courtney's steel birch studio in the link, I can't find it.. Thank you

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Added! Thanks

[@tychism3586]

I’m working on a real similar piece

[@doriscassan6996]

It is very pretty as it is, but I wondered if you had considered putting a base on it to lift it up off the floor? I wondered how that would look.

[@elettramia6380]

How many coats of primer did you originally do? 2 or 3? Thank you

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

[@schmidt28117]

I love the quality of your work and also the style of your creations. That color has just the right amount of sassy. You mentioned an artistic channel you follow. Can you post the name or a link? Thanks again

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Just linked it! Sorry I forgot to before!

[@victorialove9104]

Love the color! Not a fan of the doo dahs.

[@lucihedley5568]

Hi Kara, I have been binge watching some of your older posts. This one takes the cake. Just the height is a challenge to start with, having to climb to paint the top. I loved the half circles, nice effect and the paint colour was what this piece called for - something different. Please check you emails, I don't know any other way to talk with you direct. Thank you and stay safe. Luci H. Clifton Queensland.

[@user-vv6zl1fl9p]

I think I saw what happened with the bleed through. Before you painted drawers, there were some spots where it looked like you sanded the primer and the dark stain was showing. Maybe would have helped to hit those spots with primer before the paint?

[@sheriwulczynski1254]

I noticed that too.

[@danielleweston1492]

Sometimes you mention your community page. Where can I find that? I don’t know what a community page is.

[@thethinkinglady2957]

Hi! To find Kara's community page, tap on her channel's name:Lemon to Lemonade. This will take you to another page. On the new page, scroll down, you'll find a list running from left to right, of stuff like videos, playlists, shorts, etc. Scroll to the left on same list and community will come up. Tap on community and you will see all that is going on there. Good luck!

[@user-vl4iu6ps3s]

Did she mean “highboy?”

[@lolitabonita08]

u r doing all the shellac thing wrong... first shellac...two coats minimum...let it dry in between coats 24 hours..(this is key).then your regular primer... let dry for 12 hours...if bleed thru comes out...apply another coat of shellac ...let it dry for 24 hours and then apply the primer...let it dry 24 hours...no bleed thru showing then paint.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Yes, I’ve tried that in the past but it crackles

[@user-tf4gn7kl2x]

Why not remove ALL THE DRAWERS???

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

What does that mean?

[@kmarch6630]

I'm sorry, but I started reading the comments as soon as I started watching the video. From the comments I know you painted it. Then I saw you take off those trim pieces. While I like a lot of the pieces you do I can't watch this one.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

No worries! See you next time!

[@kathleensmalltowngirl8357]

Pet peeve, please look at the camera not yourself.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

I’m looking at a full screen on my phone. I don’t know exactly where the lens is.

[@cliffhorman6846]

Love the colour!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thanks Cliff!
