[@Mombierella]

Great project 👍 thank you for sharing. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend

[@debbieminkus2566]

Wow amazing that piece turned out gorgeous!

[@karenguzzi748]

Beautiful. You are fearless and bold and brave!

[@JamesBond-lt5tr]

My dream piece of furniture!

[@maryalgar8779]

Lovely result!

[@lindapayne1787]

Beautiful piece and the aging elements are well done. Just a personal choice but one thing I'd do different is that I would have the same distressed finish on the top as the distressed finish on the rest of the piece. I do like contrast in a more contemporary or farmhouse-look piece but for an antique piece I personally prefer to keep a similar technique throughout. The crystal knobs were a perfect choice!

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

Thank you so much. I flip flop between have them same on both. I like it both way but totally get what you are saying. Thanks so much for watching

[@strmman]

when you started, i did not see any potential, but the end product is great, such an improvement. thanks for the tips.

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

You are very welcome. Thanks so much for watching

[@rebeccarivas420]

Thank-you for sharing. You did an awesome job. Looks good

[@creektilghman9187]

I heard very good opinions about the Woodprix plans.

[@myriammoquin2684]

Fantastic. I loved how the top looked darker and almost made it look like it had been more worn from wear.

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching

[@JCcreates927]

Love this piece, I like how the top is darker than the rest of it.

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

Thank you. I like that too. Thanks for watching

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

Thank you so very much for your kind words. And thank you for watching

[@lannieadams1953]

I love how you finished the buffet. I'm going to try this on my kitchen cabinets. Thanks!

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

Great. Glad I could help. Let me know how it turns out. Tfw

[@kaybonette]

I've always been told to use clear wax first then apply dark wax because you can't move your dark wax and manipulate it. Dark wax just sticks wherever you put it and you can't make some places darker and highlight other areas. The piece came out nice.

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

Thank you. I do either way depending what look I am in the mood for.

[@rachcliffe3182]

You should be super happy! Its perfect!

[@lindainla2715]

*Very Nice!! Love the use of dark wax in the details coordinating with the fabulous top. Your technique and talent have inspired me to be less up tight when I paint. Thank you so much for that!

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

That is the beauty with chalk paint. You don’t have to be perfect. Thanks so much for watching

[@ChannelLeslieMu]

Just my style. Love it. I'm going to start working on refinishing a vanity then move to my kitchen cabinets. Love the distressed look.

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

Sounds like a lot of fun projects. Thanks so much for watching

[@sandraorganizationseeking1685]

I like the piece. The top looks dark and I actually like the front color a lot and would like to see it on the top. I have a similar piece and am too scared to paint it so I have been watching videos to get inspired! thank u

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

It is so worth it to paint it. I have another piece at home that I kept sane color all over. I think you should just doit. It’s not hard with chalk paint thanks for watching

[@jenniferkilby6841]

Very nice and I have seen this style buffet

[@patricia8889]

Turned out Awesome! Great job. I really surprised with the cool vibe Antique look. Considering it was just the one coat white and the white wash. Good choice on the knobs you choose. Well done.

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

Thank you so much. Tfw

Beautiful i want to try now.

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

You should. You won’t regret it. Thanks for watching

[@gloria8487]

Your buffet turned out fantastic, I would like to do the same with mine which is an old piece. Did the paint thinner that you used save you from sanding the furniture?

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

When using chalk paint you do not need to sand furniture. I used the paint thinner more to clean it in case there was any sticky stuff on it. Thank you so much. TFW

[@mariannefroholdt9783]

If you have a danker coulor first,and they wash with white,then it will work😉

[@juanmineralmania9917]

Parece fácil ,parece ...😍

[@patmontalbano290]

I can’t believe you painted the top.

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

Yup. Totally didn’t like the color of the top. Tfw

[@47tnew]

Hi I found this video from 2 years ago. This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm sorry for my confusion but did you only sand, apply the grey and clear wax to the body of the dresser? Thank you in advance if you answer.

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

Yes that is correct. I’m so glad you found this video big you need any more help just leave me a message. Tfw

[@BrookeandBaby]

When you did the cabinets and drawers did you just mix the chalk paint and water and go over it again with a paper towel?? I couldn’t tell if you had waxed those with the dark or black wax

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

I clear waxed them. Hope that helps. Tfw

[@eudoxia915]

Great look - I am really loving the chalk paint I have just about renovated my entire house with furniture ALONE and of course chalk paint! It's vid's like yours that give me great ideas - thank you!

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

Thank you for the kind words. I love chalk paint and have many pieces on my home as well that I have painted. Thanks for watching

[@iang7341]

Amazing! You surprised me. I’d buy that piece! Now I just want to try it myself! Thanks!

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

Thank you. Thanks so much for watching

[@estheraguirre3807]

I wish you had shown in the video how did you apply the wax on the top surface. Also, how did you tackle the small crevices and painted the back raised top of the buffer

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

Not sure what you are asking. The wax for the top is applied the same way as the rest of the buffet. You brush it on and than wipe off. I show how I paint the back raised top with the paint and the dark wax. As well as the crevices. Let me know if I explained it well. Thanks for watching

[@estheraguirre3807]

I meant buffet, self corrector ... Yes, I understand now. Thanks for your explanation. It's hard to have an idea for me as I am a first time painter .

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

No problem. I have lots of different videos on my channel that might help you out more. A similar one is kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqmtc4KcorCYsLc I only use one paint an one wax. Thanks again for watching

[@koreanninja1511]

Did you use both the black and dark wax across the front and sides ? I know you only used the black on top. Just curious, I love the color the front and sides turned out. Thanks !

I have watched numerous video of restoring and using chalk paint. I do not see people painting the interior or the edges of the drawers and cupboards. This seems to be common and acceptable?

nice job...top & knobs a bit shiny...rest is truly vintage chic

I was selling the piece and the lady buying it picked out the knobs. Thanks for watching

[@nancybisogno118]

Really looks lovely!

[@loriparker9499]

WOW, this ended up so beautiful! I was skeptical but I have to say, I want to try this. You did say you let it dry before adding another paint?? So did you add more than one layer of Annie Sloan white, or did you simply do one coat of white and top with black wax? It gave it a driftwood look that I am looking for.

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

I only added one layer of paint and the paint I used was Annie Sloan Paris Grey. It’s a very light grey. Than I topped it off with wax. Totally gives it that look. I would play around how much wax you put on I think if you put too much it won’t give you the look you are going for. Thanks so much for watching.

[@loriparker9499]

@@DomesticDivaDIY OH!! Okay, so I use paris grey and leave it more roughly covered, then just LIGHT with the dark wax. I am going to try this on my coffee table! Thank you!! Can I top with more clear wax later for added protection??

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

Lori Parker you can but you don’t have to. Just don’t overdo it with a clear wax because it will be too sticky. I made that mistake with my kitchen chairs and it took over a month for the stickiness to go away

[@erickafrazier943]

You did such a great job 👏...looks fantastic 👍👍

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

Thank you. Tfw

[@judymathena2981]

I don't care for the top being different from the rest of it. I like the Antique part, but not this color. But it really changed it up a lot.

[@marybronson442]

It’s very beautiful, but I think I would love it even more if the top was the same, it’s beautiful nonetheless. Great job!

[@stylevacationhomesbylouiss4485]

I actually would have preferred to see more of the antique black come out on the top. Great job! You should be proud!

[@vhead612]

I like the contrast. Im currently doing a brazilian rosewood gel stain on top and then a color id call royal purple by behr on the drawers etc. All the accents i dong have on my piece would make simple colors better as they are really pretty and unique. I like the layering of different mediums that give a look like this 👍
