DID I JUST PAINT AN ANTIQUE?!?!?! How To Tell Between An Antique & Reproduction Furniture!!!

[@AFAskygoddess]

Unless you have a piece of wood furniture over 200 years old, there is little chance it's worth very much. "Brown" furniture today has little market value. I love it, but most consder it out of style. It goes for pennies at auction unless it's a famous maker (hint). So if painted furniture is your thing, paint away and make it into something you will love.

[@BellaRenovare]

yes yes yes!!! everything you said!!! look for those makers marks, see if they are highly sought after unpainted, make an informed decision and anything else.....paint that sucker lol

[@deborahmatatall]

THANK YOU for saying this!👍🏻🌸

[@talishamccann2688]

Crazy that you are discussing this! I literally logged on to ask a question directly related to this topic. The piece is by Michael Amini. We bought it at a yard sale for $10. I want to paint it but I wanted to make an informed decision.

[@BellaRenovare]

@@talishamccann2688 honestly even piece that are Vintage or antique has to be in too shape. Are you keeping it?

[@talishamccann2688]

@@BellaRenovare no plans to keep and it's not antique he is just a super expensive designer with TONS of detail. All of his company is based in Asia and all of the detail is done by hand. I've only learned any of this by researching since I've gotten this. I could easily be mistaken. This piece also has some marble on top and a couple of marble embellishments on the side

[@jenniferrumsey9887]

This piece is really gorgeous! For the last 22 years my design clients have told me that they want their family to use the furniture, and even if it is hot pink, it is still great grandma’s furniture. Not valuable items of course but every day furniture.

[@BellaRenovare]

Exactly!!! Furniture can wear a bunch of different outfits in its lifetime as well!! And thank you Jennifer ❤️❤️

[@daniellephilp8619]

I swear I am in love with every piece you do !!! I could watch you paint all day. This transformation is amazing I love these colors !!! It literally could go anywhere, like in my house. I would love it ❤️❤️❤️

[@annad5675]

I’m always amazed at how you take an average everyday piece and turn them into showstoppers. Always love what you do. Lovely work🥰, and as always inspiring !

[@cynhiacations9879]

Absolutely amazing. To me it looks like seeing the moon's light on the ocean. I love it.

[@BellaRenovare]

Ooh that’s a really great description!! You are so right!! And thank you so much!

[@maureenanglim2927]

You guilted me. I have been watching for about a year. I'm very sorry that I haven't subscribed until now. I have been so impressed with the kind of work you do, and how you explain things without talking down (which I have heard some people do). I love the choice of colors you use. Thanks so much for showing me how I can pull my old ceramic painting skills to work on furniture.

[@kellyevans8321]

I love the colors and what a cool technique about impacting the lighting. I continue to learn things from you Crys’Dawna!!

[@johnniejohnson450]

Once again, a masterpiece

[@rhondapriesmeyer8101]

Can’t wait to get the cool blending brush!!

[@thavylor]

You're so good. I enjoy watching your work videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@rachelmccracken1326]

New follower here! Such a lovely piece! I love color so most of my furniture is painted.....even the antique pieces. 🙃I thrift a small Eastlake miror a couple months ago and left it its natural color. I couldn't stay it anymore so yesterday I painted it a custom mix green. Happy painting!

[@wendyfaith1048]

This piece is sooo beautiful. I am obsessed with the blues and the arrangement of the tones. It absolutely looks like light is coming down from above. Your work us amazing. I am so glad to have found you.

[@anacukrov4381]

Amazing blending job like always 🥰 but please tell me what did you do with a top of the piece? Also can we know when will that great wide brush from Daydream (you used as a neutral brush) will be available? Thank you so much 💛

[@FiguregirlK]

I love this combo, have these DA colors and was planning on utilizing them on a heavily ornate foyer table this weekend!! ☺️ My question is, are there any “rules” for colors that go from light to dark; beginning from the bottom of a piece or the top of a piece? If not “rules”, do you think it would not be pleasing to the eye starting from your darkest color at the top to light at the bottom? I ask because my table top is black shell or tortoise shell inlay which I hate to paint. TIA

[@BellaRenovare]

There really aren't any rules, I think it's piece dependent and what vibe you want. There are NO rules, and if there are......DON'T follow them lol 😂😂😂❤️❤️

[@FiguregirlK]

@@BellaRenovare LOL That’s what I love about you!! Thanks so much and as always, appreciate you and your sharing ways!! 💛

[@BellaRenovare]

@@FiguregirlK awww thanks friend!! I mean think about it, some one some where didn’t follow what “they” say which who is “they” anyways and discovered something awesome!!

Merci pour cette nouvelle vidéo, superbe commode ! Votre brosse plate pour faire la finition du Blending est géniale. Pourriez vous me dire ce que c’est ? Ou la trouver et sa qualité de poids ? Merci beaucoup. Vous l’avez peut être dit, mais je ne parle pas l’Anglais et pas de sous titre dans la video. 😊🤗

[@BellaRenovare]

Bonjour à tous!! merci beaucoup de m'avoir fait part des sous-titres, je vais essayer de le faire réparer :) Le pinceau est celui que je fais fabriquer en ce moment, il devrait être prêt dans quelques semaines pour l'achat et ensuite je pourrai vous donner toutes les informations :)

Hi, newbie here to your channel. I used to paint all my furniture years ago, when I was overseas. I am now back in Germany again, looking to paint a waterfall dresser with alot of damage. Do you have your own paints and if so, do you ship those to an APO address? Sorry didn't know where to go to ask that, your furniture is beautiful btw ❤️

[@patmaz513]

This is gorgeous! When is that big brush going to be available? I need it! 😉💙💙💙

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you so much!! I am hoping by the middle of October at the very latest.

[@redesignedbynina]

I love the blues 😍 Any particular reason you didn't paint the top?

[@BellaRenovare]

thank you!!! honestly I do what my clients want usually but I have always been more drawn to a wood top for some reason. The more I look back at stuff I do it a lot it could be the wood worker in me wanting to still show some wood grain lol....

@@BellaRenovare I understand. Beautiful work 😍

@@BellaRenovare thank you to you for sharing - I've learnt a lot from you and for that I'm grateful. I've even strted The Copycat Chronicles on my channel and chose your piece as the inspiration for the first episode. Love your work.

[@ramonafriesinger5652]

Yeah ,bought a wardrobe for my son ,massive wood , a hundred jear old ,got it for 50 € . It is just nothing special. If something is old it is not automatically worth a fortune . Normal everyday families were in need of furniture too . The pieces are almost always good quality woodwork ,but a farmer in germany wasn't in need of something fancy , means 2 doors ,if your lucky two drawers . So jes I painted it in Light and dark grey ,came out lovely !

[@tychism3586]

What kind of cleaner/ deglosser did you use?

[@cherylbarringer6386]

Could you use a spray water based sealer to prevent smearing?

[@BellaRenovare]

ooh for sure!!!! great idea!!!

[@Alicia-ig7cv]

Will a sprayer work with that sealer?

Yea ma’am!! I have sprayed it and it sprays like a dream!!! The paint does too ❤️❤️❤️
