Chalk Paint Furniture Makeover | Blending Technique | Shading | Whitewash

Welcome to Flip It Furniture! In today’s video we take an outdated 9 drawer French Provincial dresser and update it using mostly Dixie Belle Paint Company Chalk Mineral Paint. I’m going to use a blending technique on the base using a light blue color and dark blue. Then finish off the look with a whitewash!

This is probably the most beautiful flip I have ever seen. I have a dining room table and hutch that I'm thinking about doing like this. Remodeled my living room and dining room last year and the colors of blue, beige and white. If I could pull this technique off I think it would look beautiful. You did an outstanding job I love watching your videos ❣️

[@FlipItFurniture]

Thank you so much!

[@rking1237]

I have anxiety painting on your beautiful floor with no drop cloth! LOL You are very talented girl! Love it!

[@FlipItFurniture]

Thank you!! 🤣🤣 I’ve heard that a few times now but it’s okay lol Chalk paint comes off easily with soap and water. It’s when I’m using oil based primers I need a dropcloth😬I’ve learned my lesson priming🤦‍♀️

[@benicio1967]

WOW!!! What a beautiful piece of furniture. You did such an incredibly beautiful job on this! I love it so much!!

[@FlipItFurniture]

Thank you!

[@rebeccaherrera6006]

Gorgeous! I love the technique too

[@FlipItFurniture]

Thank you 😊

[@adripaez]

This is my favorite blended furniture so far! I loved it!

[@FlipItFurniture]

Thank you! 😊

[@catherinekoutroumpis9774]

No joke, I agree excellent tutorial and showing the steps well. I FINALLY think I can give this a try on some stacking tables I wanted to blend and then have really pretty french country transfers. But didn't want to to waste expensive transfers til I was sure I could do it justice with painting!

[@FlipItFurniture]

Thanks Catherine! I bet you do your tables justice! I wish there was a way to share photos on KZbin I would love to see the outcome. Happy painting!😊

[@johnleosantos9578]

Definitely a dreamy feels when i look at this piece. The top is so gorgeous! I love it so much!

[@FlipItFurniture]

Thank you so much 😊💙💙💙

[@missyslittlethingsinlife1920]

I love this! I have a full set of this in what I believe is the medium cherry stain finish. My parents bought it for me when I was one, just before my sister was born. It is by Henredon Drexel. I also inherited from my mother in law a white desk that matches it in every way, but color. I have been planning on painting it a pretty blue, but wanted some sort of blending, but not in a crazy sort of way. Now before anyone gets excited about me painting a 60 yo real wood bedroom set, it has survived 2 girls (my sister & I shared a room) and that means nail polish spills, nail polish remover spills, makeup, hairspray, Clairol Kindness 20 that you put water in to steam the rollers, etc. Painting it would be a kindness to re-beautify to be used & enjoyed for at least another 60 years. :D Beautiful job on the dresser!

[@FlipItFurniture]

Wow that’s just great! I painted one of those dressers a few months ago. It’s by far the nicest piece I have painted. They are so special when they are real wood. And I wouldn’t worry about painting it because if you ever change your mind or if you pass it on someday and they want it natural they can always strip it and stain. Every time I start feeling guilty about painting a piece I think it’s OK because Paint is not permanent 😊

[@queenmercy163]

Hello how are you doing?

[@MuffinsNyc]

WOW that’s absolutely beautiful 😍

[@shellbellexx3]

[@FlipItFurniture]

Thank you so much!! I appreciate your positive feedback and thank you for watching 😊

[@marysweethome]

I use this technic with oil based i choose a white color for the base then I mixed clear varnish with some paint and I applied the trick of faux wood with my brush and I was so proud with the final result of wardrobe it looks so good

[@brendajablonowski1668]

Love the blending! A lot of practice! Looks beautiful

[@ljones98391]

Turned out beautifully. I appreciate that you have a continuous flow of information going on each part of your project including many “Whys” about what you’re doing. Thank you.

[@kaleidoscope8743]

@@FlipItFurniture your blending technique is good. (I know you were speeding up the playback) but nonetheless maybe if you slowed down and took your time a bit more ... you look like you're a quick worker. When you slow down you can be a little more deliberate and mindful about the placement of your colors and where the blended edges fall. Makes it easier to get a consistent pattern. But really beautiful!

[@JJ33438]

Wow what a beautiful job! Wow!!!!!

It’s a beach!! Wouldn’t it be lovely in a beach house bedroom. These colors are glorious. ✌🏻🤍

[@scubadiver007]

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just Wow!

[@530transam]

Don’t mix vertical and horizontal strokes when blending. Every time you switch, you essentially start over. Back and forth with a clean brush where the colors meet is easiest. Don’t go fully into either color until it’s blended. Half the brush in color one, the other half in color 2, go back and forth, move up and down about 50% while doing horizontal strokes. It’s fast and easy

[@elizabethjudy6340]

Not with chalk paint. The technique is completely different! In fact, you need to brush in all directions.

[@richarddonahue3565]

Gorgeous job to say the least. The tri-color scheme is superb!!!!!!!!!! The faux wood grain top really sets it off.

[@Declan1205]

You should put cloth cover on the floor while painting.

[@zb7293]

I love it, all...it looks truly worth of a castle...peace off romantic elegance in home. You are talented young lady, wish you all the best.

[@FlipItFurniture]

Thank you!

[@ElizaDolittle]

That's beautiful. The blending technique makes the drawer fronts almost look beveled! And the top paint job makes it look like natural white-washed wood!

[@FlipItFurniture]

Thank you! Yes! I was so happy with the way the top came out 😊

[@cfaz6763]

I'm so impressed by some of these flips simply because you guys never use a drop cloth

[@coastaldiva]

Thought same thing on that pretty floor

[@FlipItFurniture]

If it’s oil-based, I will lay something down now. I’ve learned the hard way🤦‍♀️But water-based usually cleans up easily with a damp cloth.

[@lindaschoolcraft8536]

I have this whole bedroom set in the French white which has yellowed with age. I love mine but I really love what you did. My set was made in the 1960s or before. Very good workmanship.

[@kathleenwrobel7407]

mine is early 1950s - Ethan Allen

[@FlipItFurniture]

Wow that’s sounds beautiful. I wonder if there’s a cleaner you can use to restore it to its original white🤔

The Dresser looks great. When I saw the thumbnail for the video, I thought the top was natural wood. The top turned out great I thought. Great job, thanks for sharing and cheers.

[@sunnydeborahsebastian1361]

Some of the nicest shading I’ve ever seen. And thank you for painting the inside frame of the drawers. I never understand why someone does all the work to restore furniture and they missed the details. Looks very nice

[@FlipItFurniture]

Thank you!!

[@kt798]

I love the soft lines of French provincial furniture. However, it can look a bit dated. This update creates a more casual current feel. Beautiful.

[@gloriafields4328]

Love the shades of blue. Great job on the blending. The top is great too and I really like the white wash you did over the grey. Great video. Thanks !!

[@FlipItFurniture]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@bonitawood947]

Gorgeous!! I appreciate you admitting that blending was very hard for you to learn.

[@FlipItFurniture]

Thank you! It’s the truth😊

[@nikkimariewrite7596]

Same here because I’m learning and I’m definitely not natural! It made me feel so much better when she said it’s was the hardest thing for her to do. Phew! 😊

I have a similar French Provencial dresser; it's really old probably from the 50s or 60s & it's massive - it looks more like a buffet than a dresser even has 2 doors that open in the middle but it IS a dresser- even has a massive mirror that goes with it. I'd love to restore it but I don't want colors (although this is gorgeous),I just want to go with white & gold as my iron headboard is white & gold & it's just easier to decorate around I'd love to see one restored as close to original as possible.

Each time I think I have a favorite, you come out with something like this one! I absolutely love the hardware on it. So pretty!! Hey, on a different topic, can you tell us please where you get your plastic scrapers that you use when you strip furniture? I haven't been able to find one yet. It seems very simple, but not so much... Thanks Amy, and again, beautiful, beautiful job on this dresser!

[@FlipItFurniture]

Thanks Cara!! I buy mine at Home Depot! They have them near the metal scrapers. They should be down the paint brush isle. It’s funny you say you can’t find them because they used to have them right next to the metal scrapers eye level and the last time I went they were all the way I hidden on the bottom shelf in boxes. I thought they stopped selling them and almost panicked 😅😂

[@homeandgardendiy6363]

Awesome! Thanks Amy. I usually go to Lowe's, so maybe that's the problem. I looked all over the paint aisle and could find metal ones, but never plastic. Thanks again!
