How I Used Paint and Stain to Makeover this Vintage China Cabinet

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Dont forget to subscribe! More videos coming soon! Need those sweet black gloves I used in this video? amzn.to/2XS8rEl

[@andrewyaadigg]

That Shabby Guy I know I just said something similar the other day. But please make a video of when why what it does what it looks like when you use regular paint, chalk paint, water base stain, oil base stain, wax, poly, clear coat, doing the stain over paint and everything else there is when it comes to different ways of restoring/ painting furniture. I have never painted furniture but I’m going after it this weekend and would love to see a video like that. Would just make a beginner feel comfortable and know what is for what and all the options and looks you could go for. Your a really trustful guy and love learning from you! You could literally just sit there and talk and show old pieces of furniture don’t even have to paint! I watch ALOT OF KZbin I honestly think the video would kill it and acourse help a lot of people! Hope to see it soon! Much love homie!

[@andrewyaadigg]

That Shabby Guy and also if your going for a rustic look or distressed whatever you wanna call you would you paint it make the scratches then glaze it to have the distressed parts really pop?

[@ahakimov8558]

Before and after pic or video at the end would be great.

[@leannhayes5444]

I have a monster like this that I recently inherited and I considered painting it. But I got cold feet and cleaned and oiled it instead. You did a terrific job!

[@cleopatrajonez]

@@andrewyaadigg the same team I'm not 🚭🚭🚭🚭🚭

[@bernadettemcmanus7975]

Gees that glazing made such a difference. I was not keen on that blue by itself, but wow, after the glazing, it gave a whole new depth to the cabinet. You're a patient man.

[@deborahwilcox631]

Beautiful! I love the antiquing of the white back too! Very clever

[@ramonafindley9694]

I love how you transition classic pieces to update them. This piece could easily fit into a contemporary home setting, and really stand out. Just stunning! I have been painting thrift store furniture pieces for decades, as that was my only option when I was young. Cheap pieces turned into something unique. Just love your work! Absolutely splendid!!!

[@nancywhitehead6397]

I love what you did with this piece of furniture. The colors could be used in most rooms and with most tradituional color schemes. You really have a genius talent for this and i applaud that you are teaching your soon this highly skilled craftsmanship trade.. Not many folks left around like you today... Bravo Absolutely loved it..

[@ursulajackson640]

I can’t believe you have a son .. you look more like brothers 🤣 I love your work and you give me the confidence to spray 👍🏽

[@BiterAvid]

I thought the same thing. When he said it was his son, I thought that was him and that a 2 year old was going to enter the frame. Sheesh.

[@lisarivera4422]

Ursula O'Brien I thought the same thing lol

[@sandraglover2681]

The piece is stunning! I have a (sewing) room full of odd & end pieces of furniture I want to.paint. You have inspired me to purchase a paint spray gun! I gave subscribed😁

[@LaGuera2858]

Right! I thought he was in his 20s...with no kids.

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

If you don't know his face, from the voice only he sounded like a really old fat white guy lmao but you see the picture he's like 25 or something, but then he have a son and I be like wtf??!

[@rebeccacox504]

You've taken a nice piece of furniture & turned it into an amazing and gorgeous piece of furniture. Love it!!!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thanks! Glad you like it!

[@melindajohnson383]

I've been doing furniture for about... never mind...I'm old. My point, my dear shabby guy, yr great at teaching an old dog new tricks. In almost every piece you make, you pull out some trick that makes this old heart soar. I've been binging since I found you. So keep me in wonderment. Innate talent and a bag of tricks.

[@pennygodfrey1154]

I was surprised how much I liked it after you painted. Great job!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thanks!

[@squareglow]

Totally. Me too. I was thinking the door details are just too much. But toned down tremendously with the color choice.

[@yvette968]

Love it! I like how you painted the inside lighter and did the glazing. It’s so gorgeous and unique.

[@cathynuytten798]

This process was very popular in the 60’s and 70’s. My Dad taught me how to do this. We called it an antique finish. I have a church pew that I painted a solid dark dark red. It never seemed finished. Now I know why! I’m going to use your technique! Thanks.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Oh yes. I have people tell me all the time about how it was popular back then. I've heard it called glazing, antiquing, and most of the "older" ones use the term "pickling". :D

[@kjrvincent]

That's right, "antiquiquing", "pickling", what goes around comes around 🙂

[@ladyewo6778]

I love everything about this. The ornate piece, the blue paint and the glaze finished. Just beautiful!

[@karenpinson4998]

Absolutely beautiful!!! I realize how much work you had to get the cabinet the way it looks now. It is so gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thank you!

[@patriciapartch5617]

Just beautiful and I have in the past used stain to antique a piece of furniture and so glad you show us in great detail how to glaze. Thank you for giving all of us inspiration.

[@LaGuera2858]

Definitely inspired my husband and I! Subscribers!

[@BelleLorrae]

I love using those gloves, and if you're careful you can keep reusing them for a while. Definitely worth the money. Also, this piece turned out amazing. I had initially thought a cast iron look for the hardware to keep some of that antique flair, but the gold really made it pop. Nice.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Yep! They are reusable. I'll often flip then inside out when I take then off, let the sweat dry out and use then later lol

[@esmeraldagreen1992]

I like how you work your refinished products look like it new pieces. You don't cut corners and it show. I especially like that you refinish the interior of a piece and not just the exterior , I have watched other people doing makeovers and they cannot hold a candle to your work

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thank you very much!

[@Canuckmom128]

Nothing more satisfying than peeling painter’s tape from a completed paint job, and seeing that nice, crisp edge. Love the colour of this piece. I suspect that is a Cutlery Drawer (or Silver Drawer) on the left. Back in the day, when you had silver plate flatware (cutlery) or, if you were very lucky, sterling silver that had been handed down to you, you would clean it then put it in a special case or Silver Wraps (Silver impregnated felt wraps with little pockets, that stopped it from tarnishing), and keep them in your Silver Drawer. 👍

[@mariav957]

I love how the stain makes the design pop!

[@LibeyMNunez]

I just love how you paint the furniture with out spending a lot of money with expensive products.

[@clarissa182]

Beautiful. Also, it's so satisfying every time I watch you use the paint sprayer. It goes on so smoothly. I just love your work.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thanks! It is fun to watch the paint go on. Much more fun than watching it dry!

[@garylytton3553]

Beautiful China cabinet. What a find! Loved the color, and staining technique that you chose to use. Looks great! Jill

[@peggyaskew6621]

WOW!! YOU GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO!!! GORGEOUS PIECE! You go Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kitchenworker446]

You make that spraying look very easy- I bet it's much harder than it looks! Great end result.

[@susandowning6020]

Loved the colour .Another Gorgeous job. Smashing piece of furniture .

[@lisacyprian2359]

the stain made all the difference. that is absolutely gorgeous.

[@willtheman840]

The stain, meh.

[@shannon3198]

Wow, that's a pretty amazing result! The details in that piece look even better by the time you get done

[@mariayates1276]

Absolutely, gorgeous. I love your technique, you have inspired me to try bigger pieces, and your tips are priceless.

[@pepitaunderthesun4763]

Beautiful. The glazing gave it an almost metallic dimension. Very powerful.

[@cheryl8280]

Nice to see a young person get involved in restoring furniture, even if he did paint it. I think it turned out beautifully! Thanks for sharing!!

[@catherinepena256]

I love what you did with this piece. Glazing the gray made the difference.

[@debbiestherapy]

I actually like that as two separate pieces. Nice that father and son were working together even if just briefly although I must agree, you two look more like brothers!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thanks for watching!

[@barbarafrancis533]

Wow you do beautiful work. I put my pulls and hinges in envelopes and label them and seal them so it makes sorting easier.

[@mkk1959]

So beautiful! I like the inside painted white...it gave the piece more depth. Great job! Thanks for the tip on using wood stain as a glaze!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

I knew I WANTED to paint the inside white. At the same time I knew I DIDNT. Lol. All blue with glazing would have been neat but I think the white really made the piece. Thanks for watching!

[@jacquelinepokoo8659]

That looks great the colour suits the cabinet

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

It worked out I guess! :D

[@truthbetold4178]

Just gorgeous! That is a beautiful piece of furniture. Loved watching you work...you're so fluid...like a dancer or one performing Aikido. Thank you for sharing~

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

lol thanks! Glad you're enjoying it!

[@katscotty]

You just make everything look so easy with your confidence!

[@princessglittersparkle4146]

Your project turned out great! I really enjoyed watching the video. I love to redo furniture. And your video has given me the itch to do an old cabinet sitting in my storage unit. Let the fun begin!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

I'm glad I could give you some inspiration! Good luck on your project!

[@riverunner9978]

That sprayer looks epic! Wow what an undertaking ! Beautiful work ! I enjoy your videos! Thank you.

[@MariaGomes-ew1bl]

You have gorgeous pieces n i love that you bring out the details of it...congratulations on great job..

[@MsRuthLittle]

that stain really made the details pop great idea. the back drop looked really interesting with the print but looks messy with the stain. Love the outside.

[@lizzieBabes]

As I said about another video, you attention to detail puts you in a different category. You're work has it all Inspiring

[@davidkelsey2864]

Your son certainly has been watching you.....like the style!!! Great piece. Real classy!!

[@wendyrosson27]

You did an awesome job! The bottom of that hutch! Glazing brought out that detail. You made me want to start on a few peices I have.

I honestly prefer it before as I love the boho chic vibe and loved that wood colour but that said your workmanship is the best and you did a fantastic job. Such care and attention. Exquisite work. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

You know... it is refreshing to see a comment that expresses their own opinion but also affirms the work put in by myself. Thank you very much for one of the most mature comments on KZbin that I've seen in awhile.

On camera, it looks like a silvery blue🤗. Silver accents would be gorgeous too. I love it🤗

At first I cringed, thinking before was better than that blue. Then I saw the after. Shock. Gorgeous.

Thanks!

[@lesliemccormick6527]

To my mind, having grown up in the 70's as a little kid with all the big, heavy, clunky, dark, over-ornated furniture, this is the best way to revamp these pieces. Great job!

[@YorkshireLassWithClass]

Oh...my...gosh... this is incredible, the attention to detail is beautiful and the colours are so complimentary to the design of the piece! This will sell for mega bucks. I absolutely love it. TFS

[@katyhy]

It's awesome how we can't take those heavy, clunky wood pieces from the 70's/80's and turn them into beautiful works of art that look light and airy. Great job - love the blue color you chose.
