Hi Heather, I started this and the oatbran looks almost peachy. Is that correct or did the store give me the incorrect color. I asked for Valsphar oatbran

I just found you today. Only half way through the video and I love your teaching video. subscribed already and will watch more videos,

[@lala_land86]

Gawd there's some truly AWFUL people in the comments here telling this poor girl what to do and trying to make her feel bad for not crediting the "original inventor" - let me tell you something... This finish has been around decades but went out of fashion... And once you put it in the world wide web, you can be sure people will copy it, because they like it... Its a compliment, there's thousands of videos here doing the same thing, but for some reason certain "influences" end up with a kind of cult full of bullies who actively go out looking to tear someone down. Anyway, I LOVE THE DRAWS, im insanely jealous we don't get big furniture pieces like that where i live and I would love them! Keep up the good work!

[@Joyful_in_GA]

I agree!!! Great job!!!

Not gonna lie, I was dubious at first. I am not normally one of those who begs people not to paint over the wood grain but I thought the pattern on the top was pretty, just needed lightening. And I was worried about you painting over the caning, too. BUT THESE ARE GORGEOUS! So fresh, modern, and elegant. Great work, kid! 😉. I subscribed to see more surprises!

[@ellieem4716]

I'm sorry for all the comments about the "original creator", as if every other technique out there that catches on and gets very popular has everyone keeping a tally of all the original creators and makes sure to mention them at the beginning of each of their videos. 🙄 But you certainly have been very gracious in your responses. Anyway, I enjoyed the video and don't care if you explained or showed cleaning the pieces before sanding, whether you use a brush or roller or why you didn't just spray paint instead, nor do I mind what primer you used. I watch tons of these types of videos, mainly to see the befores and afters, but also to see what techniques and things people use - out of curiosity, not to nitpick the details! I really liked seeing how you did these pieces and they turned out beautiful!!! Great job, keep up the good work 👍 👍

Consider using a wallpaper brush. 12” long but narrow. Easier to hold. Love the result.

[@serita2279]

@@HeatherLewisss also, try not putting heavy glaze in corners. Rather paint close but then push in glaze from your up and down sweeping. That way you don't end up with darker corners.

[@bobbiesumpter2643]

I love your energy and passion! I think it turned out nice. My only suggestion is to sand and paint with the grain. I seen on the sides where you were sanding side to side and up and down. Those you would want to go up and down with the grain. And yes, I think when you are putting on the paint it would look better to go one direction also. Please don't look at this as a negative as it is just advice is all. Love the color... keep up the great work!!!

[@eileenalbanese5362]

They turned out beautifully. I will definitely try this technique. Thank you so much. If you wanted a piece a little darker, would you suggest going over it with the glaze a second time, or use a darker colour underneath?

[@generalleia5374]

Hand brushing works in this technique because any paint strike ridges left will blend in with the streaks. If you're serious about refinishing, reconsider about using a sprayer. There are small tents you can set up outside to spray and tbe finish is more professional.

I’d love to eventually spray, just haven’t gotten there yet. Thanks for watching and supporting!!

[@lollygee172]

I have bleed thru on a piece I’m doing now. Best way to quickly deal with it is to hit the area with some shellac. I keep a spray can handy just in case. Another tip grab a couple of furniture dollies -the flat kind with 4 wheels. Makes moving the pieces around so much easier (i like keeping them in the best light) 😉

[@karenmitchell6814]

If you have a harbor freight near you, those dollies can be bought for ~$7? So much easier & safer than dragging on concrete.

[@HeatherLewisss]

I definitely have to do that! It’s all sooo heavy!

[@angiesmith9181]

I noticed some darker spots and on the sides you could really see your stop and start areas with your broom. I agree with you and think your brook was a bit too big for the size of the nightstands. Watch Black Sheep House as her technique with faux wood and linen look are amazing. I hope you found a buyer for them. Keep practicing as your technique will get better every time. Good job for your first attempt.

Use a large dry paint brush instead of a broom...more control and way more even

[@HeatherLewisss]

Ooo yes that would work great, thanks!

[@lisalewis507]

I like the paint color you used. I tried black sheep’s exact base paint color & exact technique. The latex paint was coming up from the small yellow broom bristles even after several days of curing. parts turned out good but I learned that if the wood has blemishes (a weird veneer issue), the glaze picked up these blemishes & I lost the striated grain affect in this damaged area which looked like a blob shadow that wasn’t apparent after the Zinzer block out was applied. I have since repainted this piece (large Hepplewhite buffet cabinet) in a mineral paint which fixed the problem but now I’m hesitant & hubs not liking this affect since I have some carvings & such & doesn’t think this will work with all the carved finishes. But I truly like how yours turned out & applause you. Do you mind sharing what base paint color you used? I like it & like your channel & of course I subscribed!

[@HeatherLewisss]

I’ve never tried the same base color as hers before, but I recommend always priming with a good primer if you aren’t familiar with how well the paint does. Thank you so much for the support. I used Oattbran by valspar as my base and then rustoleum decorative glaze

Fantastic work! Please do not pay any mind to any “haters” ranting over who you should or should not credit. I guess Pottery Barn should be getting most of the credit here, lol - or the Chinese or whomever sprays the finish for PB. I did faux (wall) finishes 25 years ago but in no way did I “invent” it. I watch lots of videos from many KZbinrs and appreciate all.

It's not "hate" when someone mentions giving the OG creator of something credit for their work. I am glad she added it to the description.

[@adeleferguson663]

@@WatchTashi Who exactly is the OG of this faux finish? Certainly not Pottery Barn. Should she give a shout out to the renaissance? Does it really matter? Does every word you’ve ever said your original word? Every thought you’ve had an original thought? Nope. When it comes down to it, every person plagiarizes every day and “copies” someone else’s ideas - often changes it up a bit to suit themselves. There hasn’t been an original thought in decades. Get over it and move on.

[@fabiolavarela2598]

Hi I love your job is amazing can i please have the name of the paint you use for this project please thank you

[@angiesmith9181]

You really should clean your pieces before you sand because if you wait until after you sand you will be sanding any dirt and grim into the surface. I know you need to wipe it down again after sanding but it could really make a difference to your paint lasting and adhering.

[@Tile-and-Error]

[@bawlingchicken1]

I have seen this technique on youtube before. Typically they use deck stain brushes for detail areas. The broom head is good for large surfaces like table tops.

[@lizjmom]

What does offloading bristles mean? And how do you fix if a piece comes out too dark? THANK YOU

[@HeatherLewisss]

Offloading the bristles means just taking paper towel or something and dabbing all the excess off before you swipe it across the surface so that it doesn’t become too dark. Because you can always go darker but you can’t go lighter without starting over! Thank you for watching and supporting!

She does lots of different techniques of course and is amazing at those too but this particular one she’s the queen. You’ll love her channel. She makes it very easy to follow her steps.

[@joolson6664]

Try putting a big piece of cardboard (ex: packing box extended out) under your piece when painting. It helps to keep paint off the floor and gives your feet a break.

[@HeatherLewisss]

Yeah I need to get better at doing that!😂

[@chosen8031]

oattbran by valspar

[@MFCC2015]

Why couldn't you use Bullseye polyacrylic spray all over the piece to prevent bleed through? It's much faster too.

[@KaityWebster]

Yes, this look came from Black Sheep House. She is the original creator of this finish! Everyone else is copying her. I feel like she never gets credit for this finish!
