Headboard Makeover with Paint Sprayer + Chalk Paint

In this video, I finish the last project in a house furnishing project by painting the headboards for both the primary bedroom and guest bedroom. I painted them with my Wagner Flexio 4000 which, I found, made the project go a lot faster than last time I painted a sleigh bed! Be sure to get subscribed to our channel for the final house reveal in the next few weeks!

[@whitneyjennings777]

Spraying is so much faster, but brushing is more relaxing...I can't decide!?!?

[@lisalarsen1052]

I like the convenience and speed of spraying, but find brushing more fun, and almost relaxing.

[@cherylrippey5579]

I'm 73 and live in an apartment. In order for me to spray I have to transport my items to my daughter's acreage so most of my painting is done by brush. I do enjoy spraying when I can. The headboards look awesome Lauren!

[@Luke2935O]

Spray painting is definitely quicker for me, but I really enjoy painting by hand. I find it relaxing and satisfying. Especially when the project is done!

[@annroush5424]

My preference is to spray, but I’m working in my small garage due ro cold weather. I’m a 78 y.o. One-time portrait artist whose failing sight has made my vision skewed. I happened on your you tube videos! All of a sudden I’ve a new lease on life. I’m on my third piece, but am having to do, undo, and do again. I figure it’s good practice. Thanks. You are a great teacher.

[@pattiereiter9265]

HOLY COW.....DIXIE BELLE GIVE A WAY! WOW! I can't WAIT!

[@SpilledPaint22]

Spraying is so much faster and I find the finish much smoother so for those reasons, I like spraying over brushing.

[@patriciaross5627]

I like spraying. It's more even and looks better.

[@charlottecasher8419]

Brush. It’s my therapy 😂 Painting furniture is very relaxing for me.

[@kassidyhawkins2476]

I have found a new love for spraying with the colder weather, but brushing is so enjoyable on a nice warm day.

[@vickieandra5947]

I like both painting with a brush or a sprayer but there is something so satisfying about a brush.

[@sammybirch3196]

I love painting by hand because it’s so therapeutic but spraying is a bit more time effective. 🙂

[@andreaf1950]

Brushing is therapeutic and spraying excites the perfectionist in me! Depends on the piece and I suppose the mood of the day as well 😊

[@lisapetronick2594]

Spraying is my favorite way to paint. Such a time saver! Can’t wait for warmer weather!

[@claudiabudavich3436]

I love how you started in a small garage and look how you have expanded to a huge garage ❤️👏

[@sherinicodemus9309]

I have never even tried to spray because painting with a brush is therapy for me. I enjoy it so much!

[@lashondascruggs8809]

Spraying, I love the factory like finishes it gives and I don't ever have to worry about brush strokes

[@kuttfam0191]

I have been watching for quite a while now. You have come so far since you first started. I have learned so much from you. I don't have fancy equipment. I paint everything with a paintbrush. I started painting furniture and other accessories when my parents moved into an assisted living facility. I scoured thrift shops to find a table or desk that would accommodate Dad's wheelchair. That was also my first experience with Dixie Belle. I immediately fell in love with their products. When I was painting the spindles on Dad's table, I almost gave up, though. I had to work hard to get an even coat. Not because if the paint, but because I was using a brush. Since then, I have avoided spindles. It seems like it would have been much easier to spray them rather than brush them. You were very encouraging when I was struggling. The techniques that I learned has improved my skills. Keep on painting, Lauren. And Nieman, keep filming!!

[@pattiereiter9265]

I like using a paintbrush UNLESS I am refinishing spindle backed chairs! I love doing both, too!

[@sandycook4140]

Depends on what I’m painting but I do enjoy brush painting . There is just something so therapeutic about it!

[@cfetner6214]

I love a good paint brush. Thank you for the opportunity to try Dixie Belle colors and techniques . You are a great teacher.

[@cathyrowefunk5084]

I'm definitely a brush girl. I live in a small space and my crafting space is small .Brushes are definitely the right tool for me.

[@maecorley4866]

Brush is therapeutic for me. I even love using detail brushes for the hard to reach areas.

[@sondragrandy]

I love the speed of spraying but brushing is therapeutic.

[@piercerykerhome]

I think spraying would be fun for super large projects, like maybe walls or the exterior of a house. But I prefer painting with a brush - it is so relaxing!

[@twg51961]

I haven’t sprayed much, but I do love the soles and the finish. Brushing is like therapy, though. It’s like a reward for all of the prep work.

[@jenniferyoo6900]

I enjoy painting furniture and love using a brush.

[@angelalymburner1038]

Brush painting 🖌 It's so calming and therapeutic

[@sueskiba6639]

I love brushing (and rolling). Brushing is so relaxing and takes me back to HS art classes where I fell in love with painting. Any piece with slats gets sprayed. 💖

[@gregburleson8849]

Spraying is definitely our preference.

[@aaronhudgens8345]

I love spraying when weather permits. Right now I’m painting in my kitchen.

[@rosemarysmith2834]

I am about to paint a guest bedroom set I bought in 1975. I will be brush painting. Learn so much by watching your channel. Love the headboard makeover.

[@cjulian5342]

I like both brushing and spraying. It depends on the project and the weather 😊

[@lilianaherrera1165]

I definitely love spraying more. When the Wethersfield is great outside 👌🏼 perfect combo! Just leaves a more professional look!

[@milamoroz5669]

I love using the paint sprayer because it's an easier and more smooth process for me

[@tedbarr1551]

Thank you for all the tips and tricks. I appreciate your frankness and down to earth logic.

[@tracymaddox8546]

I like brushing the paint on. It is very soothing.

[@whitneyharper9180]

Using a brush is calming to me but having a sprayer is on my list for quicker flips!!

[@theresaedstrom3578]

Hi Lauren 🙂I also like both spraying and brushing I am going to be painting my cupboards Dixie Bells Gravel Road so this opportunity is Perfect Timing Thanks Dixie Bell for the Give Away❤

[@karenhollingsworth5180]

Brushing is my method of choice. Love the headboards!

[@tracieg7225]

Spraying! I agree with several that brushing in "relaxing" & enjoyable at times.

[@karenmorris7502]

i like the relaxing strokes of using a paint brush.

[@breeramsey5136]

the headboards turned out good. I think spraying is better because it just gives a better finish

[@kimmcdonough8799]

I've only sprayed once so far. I liked how fast it was. I also like the satisfaction of painting with a brush.

[@thomasgipe5000]

I like spraying because you cover more faster and has a smoother finish

[@melissaknod7129]

I think spraying saves time and less mess! Spray is my favorite method💕

[@lisawilson570]

I like painting small projects and spraying large projects

[@pamdibble5413]

Using a brush is very relaxing.

[@syasenns294]

I like painting have more control over small or narrow areas . I like spaying over large areas.

[@sassfireluna659]

I like to use a brush I can feel a connection with my ancestors working with my hands ✋️ more than power tools!!

[@kitten2000]

There’s something therapeutic about brush painting. Although using a brush is my preferred method, I am open to trying spraying.

[@thepurplepatootie]

Definately a brush, very relaxing, except I may want to try spraying on some dining chairs I have!

[@nbell8788]

I like the finish provided by spraying. And it's fun! 😀

[@maryworthy1585]

Brushing is my way to paint I enjoy and its relaxing

[@juliahelland6488]

Well I have to say brushed because I don't have a sprayer. Excited to see everything come together ❤

[@Calamityelise]

Brush because its super relaxing to panit while listening to a podcast:)

[@kimberlynolan2573]

Definitely spray on larger pieces. But, I also have much more satisfaction with painting with a brush. Gorgeous bed frames! Great video as usual!

[@christineostrum521]

I prefer to paint. It’s extremely therapeutic after a stressful week working in healthcare. So relaxing.

[@theowlscage705]

I really love to spray unless I am doing a blend. Dixie Belle is so easy to spray and blend!! My go to brand.

[@lindabersee8374]

I prefer spray painting, because it gives a nice smooth finish :)

[@iluv2sew278]

I have only brush painted furniture but I like the looks of a sprayed finish better. Spraying looks so easy when you do it...I guess it is intimidating to me.

[@deniseroberts8191]

Brushing is my therapy!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

It’s so so soothing 🤗

[@deniseroberts8191]

Exactly! Love your content!!

[@marilynyarbrough7951]

Brushing has a calming element. But if I had a sprayer, I’d use it more than brushing! Thank you for your teaching sessions. Beautiful end results.

[@LadyyNaee]

I honestly prefer the brush over the sprayer mainly because I hate the prep work that comes with the sprayer lol. But when I have the time I like the smooth finish from the sprayer. Love your videos Lauren!

[@bevdick5100]

As I'm a beginner and don't have a sprayer it's a brush for me. Spraying looks fun and fast but also a little intimidating. Maybe some day. Can't wait to see all the furniture in its new home. Great job! Love watching you.

[@Lovebeingnuts]

I really enjoy the feeling of accomplishment that comes with brushing by hand. Its gives time to almost meditate, destress, and really take in the process of transformation. The outcome of taking time and having patience is so rewarding.

[@paulayackley1201]

I have never tried spraying. As I paint more furniture and my experience (and confidence) grows, I can see myself trying my hand at spraying. Thanks for your channel! I really enjoy watching!💕💕💕

[@kimberlypaloma5499]

Hi Lauren. I'm a long time FFT fan. Thanks to you, Kacha, and Brushed By Brandy, I started painting as well. I love it! I used DB brushes as those put your paint on your piece like butter! Omgoodness they're my favorite brushes and paint. I want to eventually try spray painting especially for bigger pieces but I really enjoy brushing. I am currently working on my kitchen cabinets using DB Chocolate, and my kitchen table and chairs using DB Fluff, NPGS in Walnut. I'm excited to get my projects completed so I can share w/everyone. Thank you for sharing I love seeing your projects. :)

[@sheilagood5649]

I love brushing, it’s relaxing to me. But if I had a sprayer I think I would love & use that even more! I would LOVE to be able to get some paint + supplies from Dixie bell 🤩

[@Alicia-ig7cv]

I would rather spray because it leaves a flawless finish. I have use Dixie Belle paint from the beginning and it is my favorite in the sprayer 🥰

[@wendycampbell5099]

I like using a brush for corners and tight spots and sprayer for rest.

[@rg4design1]

I'm a super new furniture flipper, trying to earn some extra money while homeschooling my daughter. That being said a sprayer just isn't an affordable item yet, but I would love to have one just to do the primer alone. I used a spray can primer and it was the best thing ever because it saved so much time! Space is another issue working out of a small garage as well. 😉

[@Dmcshae1]

I get so excited about trying more furniture updates and painting. I enjoy painting with brushes and rollers. The only paint sprayer I have was used to paint a house. So, I may have to get a smaller one to try on furniture. Thank you for your channel and the time you spend to teach others how to flip furniture and make a profit.

[@AliPrieta]

I love the convenience of spraying

[@sasvalkyrie4319]

I agree both! If and when weather permits spraying is a much faster way to go AND it;s a smooth surface but brushing can also be VERY relaxing...

[@mirlynejean6944]

If I’m flipping the furniture for sale, I would rather spray because time is money, but for my personal home furniture flipping I prefer to brush, it makes it more fun and therapeutic 😊

[@ellenkelley8416]

I don’t have a spray booth and worry about overspray so I prefer brushing. Can’t wait to see the finished makeover.

[@lisafritz9380]

I love to use the brush. I have a lot of time . I find it relaxing 😎

[@michellemarsh5298]

I prefer spraying primer. But there is something so satisfying about painting a piece by hand.

[@gandlallen]

Love to spray. The finish comes out so smooth and uniform.

[@ashb51]

I love spraying vs brushing. Can't wait for warm weather so I can spray again. I'm weird and I actually like all the prep work and fixing up more than the painting part so I like spraying because it's quicker.

[@pattiereiter9265]

I've been subscribed to you and Dixie Belle for a LONG TIME! Woooohooo

[@shawnadams2346]

Both spraying and brushing have their perks depending on the size and complexity of the projects. I like to spray when I have a large area and when is make sense on difficult projects like painting cane furniture.

[@leonlima1431]

Way To Go with another masterpiece. And yes, I prefer spraying my furniture.

[@drakena74]

I like both spray & brush. Brush for smaller furniture pieces & spray for larger pieces

[@kenziewenger6005]

I enjoy your teaching style, you make it seem so easy.

[@doreennemec8651]

I enjoy using a brush. My husband loves his sprayer.

[@beccathompson1227]

I am with you. I like spraying but the no Fumes in Dixie Bell makes it so easy and convenient to bush inside. Not to mention how easy it is to clean.

[@gloriasonnier9864]

I like both for different reasons. Brushing is more deliberate and therapeutic. Spraying is my satisfaction quick fix. Seeing a piece transformed with paint either way is awesome!

[@green5sing]

Brushing just feels more controlled and relaxing to me. Love these beds! Beautiful job 💖

[@soniainnit3773]

Agree. Brushing is totally relaxing!

[@conniefortner8750]

For farmhouse, french country, rustic and shabby chic furniture looks I prefer hand painting because I can get texture. For streamlined pieces for more modern and sleek furniture looks spraying is my preference. It just depends on what I want the look to be.

[@sandraquillen6364]

I love painting by hand but love watching pros like you do the spraying.

[@suesherman3587]

I have a sprayer that I haven’t attempted to use yet. Alittle intimated using it. I find it very therapeutic painting especially with the Dixie Belle products. Such awesome paint. You did an amazing job! Love the white ❤️

[@tararamos3887]

I enjoy using the brush and roller when I can

[@rebekahtowers9818]

If I’m working on a big piece I love to spray, but it’s definitely fun to brush on the paint with smaller items. Thanks for the great video! 😃

[@judyhawthorne205]

I prefer brushing paint. I love the textures and blending colors that you can get with brushing.

[@kaylafreimark2160]

Spraying for quick and easy flips! Everything you do is so satisfying to watch though! I’m about to flip my own bedroom set, so I was excited when this video came out!

[@ynieto4446]

I would have to say I prefer the brush. Keep up the good work.

[@catcar8212]

Another awesome makeover Lauren, the bed frames are beautiful! I'm a longtime FFT fan and Dixie Belle Paint fan. My favorite colors are Tea Rose & In The Navy, which are the colors of my bedroom furniture. I paint and seal all of my pieces exclusively by paintbrush. I love the smooth finish this gives me!🌷🌷
