Furniture Flip - Painting Furniture to look like wood! Beginner ✅ 4 hour • Budget makeover!

Let’s do a Furniture Flip! - Painting Furniture to look like wood! Beginner friendly and only 4 hours to do this Budget makeover!
Learn how to paint a wood like Pottery Barn finish onto an old dresser! I use Rustoleum Decorative Glaze or you could use Aged Oak Gel Stain on top of Behr Rugged Tan to achieve the look.
Hi! My name is Shannon and I own a little business called Black Sheep House where I refinish furniture. This business provides our family with extra income and is a major creative outlet for me! I started this channel to help others to make their homes more beautiful and to help other furniture painters learn tips to increase their skills. I'm glad you're here!
***Correction on my comments about Behr premium plus ultra semi gloss enamel, it is an acrylic based paint, not latex... BUT I DO use latex paint with great success as long as I sand and prime and clear coat It 🥳 BUT If you want to alil those steps you should go airb a chalk based paint or gebeeal finishes milk paint Is great
PRODUCTS USED:
Primer - Zinnser 123
Base Coat Paint - Behr Rugged Tan - Premium Plus Interior Semi Gloss Enamel
***Update to the process (I’ve found that adding a bit of clear coat to the Behr paint helps it hold up better to the broom brushing across it)
Glase - Rustoleum Decorative Glaze - Brown
Dry Brush Paint - Sample of Behr paint - Color: Natural Twine (samples usually only come in flat sheen)
Deck staining brush
Chip brush (one small, one larger)
Zibra 2.5 inch angled brush is my fav but any brush
Small size Broom / Wisk
If you prefer Lowe’s for paint the base color you need is Baltic Birch and I’m sure they have a brown decorative glaze of some sort and then a light gold color for dry brushing

Love your laid back style and personality, you are just so nice and down to earth . Just like most of us working out of houses and garages! You are a gem and love your videos!

I have watched a lot of furniture finishing, never seen anything like this period really like it and you made it simple.

❤️❤️❤️

[@littleigloo5931]

Your husband's tool is called a lock wrench. I learned thanks to Grandpa letting me watch him in his shop and being patient with all my questions. Thanks for sharing your techniques. I love all of the fabulous furniture you repurpose and enjoy your upbeat personality and confidence. Keep it up!

Vice Grip

[@jacquelinegalasso8015]

I HAD the exact piece of furniture when I was a kid my mother bought it for me in Sears in 1975 That's amazing 😊🎉

[@melaniemcculloch5151]

I can't believe you did this piece! My daughter has this dresser and nightstand! It was mine when I was 12! And it looks horrible. So I can't wait to use your exact process to redo it!!! Thank you so much! That's awesome! 💜

[@theresamc8515]

It's called vise grips. I had no idea those pieces would come off those cheap french provential style furniture! Thanks!!

[@theresamc8515]

There's a couple problems that furniture painters have with latex paint. One is that it doesn't age well, it will peel instead of chip as it experiences life's little dings and mishaps. The other is that latex has to be stripped because trying to sand for refinishing is a nightmare. Now, there's no reason that using latex paint following the prep steps you did wouldn't be perfectly fine on cheap pieces of furniture like MDF, laminates etc... I think your piece turned out beautifully. 😍

[@blacksheephouse]

Thank you Theresa!!

[@lucettacole4617]

Would you recommend primarily water (or chalk/mineral) based products? TIA 😊

Wow, you have such a good eye for this. It looks wonderful. Yes, the last yellow dry brushing looks great.

Another beautiful piece Shannon! I really like this technique. Keep on dry brushing, it does elevate the pieces you are doing 😊

That turned out beautiful. I love what you did with the handles.

Ok, I'm officially a fan of this channel

Gosh,a big THANK YOU for your technique and paint colors!! You have saved me SO much time and Hassel. Love your work and videos. 💕🎨🖌

Wow! My 3rd video! I'm hooked. You are the best, most honest, and have a great personality. Thank you for sharing all that you do!

[@busyme4]

Hey Shannon, I actually saved this tutorial, thanks for doing the homework on which tan works better; the wrench is actually called locking adjustable pliers lol; and I do love the dry brushing, (ps. My husband is very ocd about placing “his tools” where they belong too 😂 they don’t understand that after repairs we just want to paint and organizing the tools is not a priority 😂

[@blacksheephouse]

Awesome! You’re always so supportive 🥰 haha and yes, the husbands need to understand we are “in the zone” 😂

[@yvonnem.langlois5197]

The correct name for the tool is Vice Grips

I used latex paint and I use the clear spray shellac first then paint and top coats. My pieces last forever. You do what works for you!!! Love your videos

That has come out to be like a real pottery barn piece . Great work 😊 from AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺

[@eileenstrauss9500]

This was exactly what I was looking for! My daughter's childhood dresser is from Pottery Barn but it's a mess and it's white so I wanted to make it look wood to match my antique armoire and my other furniture so I'll def. give this a try and take a pic if it turns out good!

[@ilovehostas3594]

Beautiful finish. You do beautiful work for sure. I like this finish so much, I’m going to give it a shot! Thank you for the great video.

[@GpaRickT]

I am barely starting to do furniture flips. I've been practicing on some furniture we have at home. I like your technique. It's so not like how everyone else does it. Keep up the great work. I would love to send you pictures of my projects I've done.

[@blacksheephouse]

I have a lot more videos like this too! You can send your pics on instagram or Facebook Black Sheep House

[@taraglittle]

Can not wait to try this on some nightstands!! I just discovered your channel and LOVE the looks you do and teach !!

[@lisettewurster3648]

Just found you. This is wild. I haven't seen this at all on any of the other channels. Looks amazing. Very cool!

[@blacksheephouse]

Yay 😃

[@janalovespaper]

❤This! I started putting my wood filler in an air tight Mason jar. That has helped a lot, but I do occasionally still have to add a few drops of water.

[@shturmovik3033]

Very nice. I’m thinking about doing all the wood furniture in our new condo with this look, even the “built-in” IKEA shelving.

[@homeandgardenwithanna.]

I will be using this technique on a project for a video and will DEFINITELY give you credit! Thank you for sharing!

[@brenyp2545]

came out great. Getting ready to do this on a piece for my living room. First time ever so wish me luck. I'll follow your way of doing it

[@nancyszumloz5255]

I love your furniture and your finishes are unique and different from others. Thanks for using basic supplies and paint products!!

[@blacksheephouse]

You’re so welcome!!!

[@cindyneri579]

The dry brushing definitely elevates the finish!

[@CatskillsGrrl]

I use powder OxyClean for EVERYTHING. One of my favorite hacks is boiling a solution of Oxy in discolored cookware and just letting it sit for a while. Magic.

SO nice to see a video that shows what's possible with latex paint on furniture! I want to get into furniture flipping, but have been dreading spending money on fancy furniture paint. But I can get leftover latex paint from my county's Household Hazardous Waste Recycling Plant for ✨free✨. 😊👌🏼

Thank you , exactly the finish I want for my dinning hutch! Hmm never would have thought to do all surfaces horizontal, looks great! Liking the dry brush. 🙂

[@erikacorkern9617]

Love how sweet you are. Your small channel will grow for sure, you so deserve.

[@GoingCoastal]

I totally agree with what you said about latex paint and your work speaks for itself. I would never spend $20 for an 8 oz container of a very popular chalk-mineral paint when I can get a sample of high quality paint from BEHR for $3.98-$4.98. I use it all the time and it has never failed me.

[@blacksheephouse]

Right?! I definitely enjoy using all types of brands but it’s hard to beat the easy to find, inexpensive Behr! I’m in Home Depot 2x a week already haha 😆

The color from the walls in the 90s. 😂 I am deceased - I still remember the color my mom made every room, every piece of trim, all of it in the 90s: antique white from sears. 😂 But yea, it was like that creamy yellow off white but not beige.
