It absolutely, without fail, amazes me that one can have a vision and see a potential from what seems like an old, broken, useless item, at least that what I would think, and turn it into an amazing useful brand new, useful household item.

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Super sweet, thanks so much! It was a fun makeover 😊

[@jusformommy]

Nicely done!! Thanks for sharing

[@CorinneCHARLESCOSTE]

I love the result! Thank you for sharing.

[@SalvagedInspirations]

You are so welcome and thanks for watching!

[@cherylatkinson9083]

Hi Denise!!! What a great video!! It turned out so good.

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Hi Cheryl!!! 😃 Thanks so much! Hope you're having a great day!

[@kathywest7380]

This video was so helpful! Thank you! I'm thinking of using this technique instead of purchasing expensive grasscloth or printable textured wallpaper for the inside back of my ikea bookcases. I think this will work really well!

[@SalvagedInspirations]

I think it will work really well toooooo. Have fun!

[@BirdzofaFeather]

It aways looks worse before it gets better! Looks amazing now. Love your story about the penny :)

[@SalvagedInspirations]

You’re so right! It always goes they an ugly stage 😊. Thanks Sara!

[@BirdzofaFeather]

@@SalvagedInspirations btw, I'll have to send Hubs out again to buy me a broom with a long handle! It's not like I ever use one around here lol!

[@MrCocoandchanel]

Thank you for inspiring me. 😊

[@vickyb9918]

Looks great !

[@lauriemoede4560]

I did something like this on the wall. I only did one direction with the broom. It was really cool. I’m definitely going to try this on a piece of furniture! Your dresser is gorgeous!

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks Laurie! 🙂

[@ysevera]

thank you I really liked your way of doing this.

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thank you!

[@marieblackburn1614]

Thank you for the great tips on brushes for this technique. The curbside dresser makeover is beautiful!

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks my friend. Wishing you a great day! Hugs XOXO

[@lauranason9598]

Such beautiful ideas! Thank you.

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thank you! 😊

[@suesherman3587]

Looks so good! I’ve tried this technique with glaze and never thought to flotrol. I will use this next time.

[@debrabeard2216]

Love your technics!! Will try this on my next piece.

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks Debra!

[@janesullivan4523]

Great project makeover!

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thank you! 😊

[@candacewalsh8726]

Great tutorial as usual. Looks great and fun! Thanks so much

[@julieb3019]

Is that the white of the primer showing through? So just one color of paint?

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Exactly. The white primer acts as the base color and I painted the French Linen over it.

[@IMOO1896]

Using that much flotrol, I wonder if the piece is still wet.

[@SalvagedInspirations]

No. It dried perfectly fine.

[@theombrehombre]

What would you do differently?

[@annemurphy9339]

Two paint colors instead of using primer as part of the finish?

[@deborahsewell202]

Maybe you should have stripped it first. You go thru way to many sanding pads
