WALMART CHALK PAINT??? Is it worth it? | Kitchen Table and Chairs Flip

In this video, I got to revamp my childhood kitchen table & chairs set using Walmart’s Waverly brand chalk paint! This was a fun one since I stepped outside of the box and did some STENCILING for the first time! It was such a fun addition to the set to give it just a little bit of contrast and style! I love it but it is still waiting for the perfect buyer! Thanks for watching and bearing with me as I recorded this one by myself (:
UPDATE! SOLD: $125
I had to go down on my asking price a bit but in the end I am glad it sold! I love trying new things!

30 years ago, I bought this table and chair set for $300.00 brand new, it was the first thing that I had saved up for and paid cash. I was a single mom and times were tough but seeing this set took me back to when my little girl was 3 years old.

[@brendaprice4664]

I really love how the kitchen set turned out! The white-doily-look on top of the gray is a really cute look. It gives it dimension. I hope you are able to sell it soon. I am proud of you trying new things and letting us join in on the fun!

[@laurieg2436]

$300.00 and you know Neiman doesn’t need to like everything!! I love it!!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Hahaha this made me lol! Thanks for your encouragement!

[@teresarubino5633]

Love it! Less paint helps when stenciling. I have painted a piece the color I wanted my stencil to be, then take a piece of lace and sprayed with temp spray adhesive, then lay it on and spray paint over it. When you remove the lace you get the pattern. It is beautiful! Wish I could share a picture with you. Love your set! Love that you try new things. Keep learning!

[@conniesisco6468]

A few tips for stencilling: use a stencil brush not a sponge, offload paint onto a paper towel before stencilling, use a swirling motion not a dabbing motion for better results.

[@getlauriekor]

Exactly right

[@rachelwalsh1388]

I wouldn't agree, as she just might be going for a textured stencil, they can be used professionally in this way. I just love 'different' and she has great tastes in everything she does, her work is immaculate! Loving Blessings to you Lauren, wishing you both, all the very best, Rachel ~ #FurnitureFlippingTeacher ~

[@conniesisco6468]

@@rachelwalsh1388 She literally said she had never stencilled before and didn’t know what she was doing. I wasn’t criticizing, I was trying to be helpful to someone who is learning something I have experience in doing.

[@vegasjill21]

@@conniesisco6468 Yes...and THANK YOU for that info here. Apparently, I got some bad info for instructions on how to apply stencils. I was dabbing...with a make up type sponge...and I ruined every single thing I did!! Each time they just bled all over and I ruined so many projects I was working on. GRRRRR Very disappointing to say the least. So I will gladly take your advice and once again say THANK YOU!! I will try to finish those projects now. Fingers crossed. ;)

[@katewhipple501]

I've done a lot of stenciling and when I first started, the paint bled HORRIBLY (!!!) under the cut edges. Through trial and error (lots of error!), I have come up with the right way to do it (for me, anyway). I start with 3 or 4 layers of good quality paper towels (I use only Bounty), folded and flattened and dab the brush until it is nearly dry and then I dab the brush over the stencil. Since I starting using this method, my work has turned out very professional, with nice, clean lines of pattern! I have never used foam and buy only the best quality stencil brushes. Also, ensuring that the stencil does not move - at all - is also key! So, tape well. Hope this helps.

[@kiraberinger]

It turned out so cute!!! It makes me want to also step out of my comfort zone and try stencils too when I flip furniture! I think $225 would be a steal for this table. Love it! 🤍

[@evanflood7038]

I have been following your channel for quite a while and I’ve got to say, that this was both simple yet imaginative boho/cottage core! I have been painting, refinish, and reupholstering for decades and I love watching your creative excitement! Absolutely CHARMING!

[@franciegarneau1651]

Sorry Neiman, I disagree with you! The table and chairs are great! Someone is gonna love it and get such a deal!

[@sandyrodriguez1382]

Super cute. That would defiantly sale for over $399 in our area for the full set

[@jaxturner6896]

You go girl! I live stencils! I found when stenciling tables with a leaf, you CAN use a stencil right in the center! Then add your leaf and overlap the stencil from each side of the table onto the leaf. Love your projects!

[@lynnlamastres3424]

I love the set. I wasn't too fond of the grey alone. The stenciling really made a big difference for me. The final product looks great!

[@Deangirl86]

I actually preferred the table before the stencil. It aged it and not in a good way.

[@lynnlamastres3424]

@@Deangirl86 I'm a little aged myself. Maybe that's why I liked it 😁

[@leecasey4664]

Qqqq

[@crystaltelf288]

Back in the day when I use to stencil, there was a spray adhesive...it was just a little sticky so that you didn’t bleed so much! Worth a try! It washes off easily too.

[@Littlebit31]

This was the same kitchen set my mom had. Wonderful memories!

[@lydiabell5125]

Try using a tacky stencil adhesive to prevent bleeds and movement

[@bdavis8149]

I have the same dining set at my cabin and it’s a old one too, it’s at least 50 years old . I think you made that set so fresh and cool looking that I’m going to do the same idea but different color . Thanks for this video!

[@natitrevino690]

Loved the stencil design on this piece! My husband likes plain colors with no design but I still add them when the right piece comes along ❤

[@janadirksen1236]

Love the color! I’ve decided to use those colors on the chair I’m redoing for my craft room. Thank you for sharing your childhood table and chairs with us.

[@jengsaquatics689]

A tip for stenciling if you don't want bleed through: have a paper towel handy to offload excess paint (less is more). Washing both sides of the stencil is really important. If ANY paint gets under and dries there it will be a constant point of leakage. Looks great though and not bad at all for a first try!

[@Amos-uf8np]

I think the stencil added a great touch! It needed something and the stencil was a great idea 👍🏻

[@carladowell5475]

I think it is so cute. I have used that same stencil in orange on a dark counter top in a tiny house I built . Used your same method faint and distressed. It was a boho style. The price is a steal. The perfect customer will come along and love that set.

[@kimberlylee3593]

Oh my gosh!! I have the exact same table from my childhood as well..Just been waiting for the perfect inspiration.. Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@hnycreek]

It's adorable and the right person will come along! Love the combo of paint. I do use Waverly and really like it.

[@Wavesofemotion]

I love that you’re trying out new things! Please don’t let this discourage you! Stenciling and transfers are pretty artistic, and as an artist I can tell you it takes practice! Learning is a curve, but after just a couple times you’ll be more in the groove of it. I would say you can always sketch your idea (very basic shape sketching is still helpful!) to help with placement of your designs and to have a vision! I really hope to see more in the future! Love your work. 💕

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks for the encouragement! I already felt myself getting better at the stencils as I was going along! Thanks for watching!

[@xnina9]

Hi. I recently started following her and I have such admiration for her! I read your comment with great interest! I'm not an artist by any means - I think of myself as a creative person trying to burst out of who I am right now. I've realised that sketching my little projects up front really does help! Much love! 💕💕

[@kricky777]

I'm so excited that you finally started branching out!! Very creative layout for the stenciling. The cottage feel of this is great. Definitely more than $250.

[@gailjernigan2482]

Love what you did to this set. If you don’t want your stencil color of paint to bleed, stencil first with your background color. Let it dry, then stencil with the white. By doing this, any bleeding will be the same color as your background, which keeps the white paint from bleeding. Love your show!! Keep teaching us how to flip furniture. Blessings!

[@janeevans4758]

I think you did fabulous especially as it was your first time stencilling on furniture, I was going to say keep the set for your first home but I doubt neiman would welcome that lol...I personally really like it, I have a table & chair set almost identical & I painted all the chairs in pastel blush,blue,lemon,sage colours and the table I did block sage but I decoupaged the complete top with vintage style napkins..❤ not everyone's taste but like yourself I had lots of fun aswell..brilliant job Lauren.

[@reneechase9920]

Love your style! The placement of stencil here and there is very artistic.

[@user-oz8vx5bl8p]

Thank you for posting this! For the tables I have that are not real wood, and I need to paint for whatever reason instead of staining, I love the idea of stencil!! I’m looking on Amazon now for stencils for my next painted table and chairs! I thought this was gorgeous.

[@chellakaygraves]

It's just like my grandmother's table and chairs. I have the hutch that matches it... I wish I knew where her table ended up. Great job!!!

[@lesliejohnson7247]

I personally love stencils, but would have chosen either a more muted color (50% white??) so it was more subtle or I would have stenciled by offloading much much more. I would never use one of those stenciling sponges. You need a proper stenciling brush. For your first try? I think you did an excellent job. It’s *almost* cottage for but for that you need color. Granny chic is cottage core too. All the rage these days. If you want to get into that genre, Upcycled By Bri or Jami Ray Vintage both have KZbin channels.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Lots of great tips! Thank you! (: I will keep all the in mind and hope that the right person with a granny chic style comes along soon to purchase (:

[@FrannyFine1993]

Love your enthusiasm and your great teaching skills! I just stenciled the top of a nightstand I pulled from bulk trash. It was fun and looks great. I'm not a furniture flipper yet, but enjoying the learning that comes from trying.

[@stampingbug]

Beautiful! With stenciling, you want a very dry brush. Remove as much paint as possible from your brush and layer the paint if it needs more. I stenciled my bedroom to look like wallpaper. ;)

[@christinebraveman5037]

I learned to stencil years ago and a stiff bristle brush with almost no paint is way to do it properly. Using the paper towel to get most paint off brush bring the look you will love.

I’m sure that my future pieces will have some stenciling incorporated somehow. I feel like it helps to separate me from other flippers so to speak! And REALLY helps to bring out the creativity in me!

Oh My goodness! I was a teacher also! I am so proud of you! Yes, I bought the Waverly paint, but I have not used it.

I have used Waverly quite a bit and for a budget paint it is awesome! You must water it down. I spray it with a mister bottle and water it down to a cake mix consistency. But the black is my favorite black out there. It is really dark and when you add black wax it is a dreamy black. I am so happy to see you showing this amazing budget paint.

I am so glad I watched this, for the squishy sanding pads. I was wondering what to use, so my rounded edges wouldn't flatten out. I have some things, I have been sanding, and was really trying hard not to flatten anything out. It looks great. I am not into gray, but it will sell, especially to someone into the "farmhouse" or "cottage" decor.
