🙋‍♀️😊❤️❤️

[@dinaleonard3895]

Debi’s paint is the best!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Right!

[@imnotsurprised2653]

THAT is beautiful ♥️

[@kathykirkland2691]

It’s very pretty. Would this be used for gilding wax?

[@kimberlyholland1972]

Wow that is amazing!!! I've got a cute lil postal decor like box to hang on my porch and I'm wondering if I can mix white paint into wax and paint on the very raised areas on front of box and would I wipe on wipe off??

[@JamiRayVintage]

Wax will melt in the sun so keep that in mind depending on where it will be outside.

[@malgozata1875]

Thank you for the recipe. It came out spectacular!

[@juliemarie1116]

You ALWAYS make WHATEVER LOOK WONDERFUL AND SHOULD BE IN MY HOME...

[@penelope5534]

I've been wondering how to tint clear wax. Thank you! It turned out super nice. I've passed up peeling veneer, and now I know I can work with them. I have never seen scalloped dovetails like that before. Thank you for all the teachings. Big hug.

[@Weisz82]

P. Carr can I use any paint fir clear wax or a specific one ?

[@JamiRayVintage]

I would use a water based chalk paint. Latex and acrylic can mess with the wax. This is what we use to tint waxes. jamirayvintage.com/collections/diy-paint-and-finishes

[@vintageglitter2469]

Turned out perfectly! Love the marble. It's what I have for my kitchen counters.

[@JamiRayVintage]

How do you clean in all the little cracks? Or is it sealed?

[@vintageglitter2469]

It's new and doesn't have any cracks. It's honed and sealed. It's been a year and no stains or problems. Love it. The kitchen guy tried to talk me out of it, but I kept going back to it when we were trying to choose the counter tops.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Nice, it sounds amazing!

[@kajlove1]

Really unique, i enjoyed this seeing this piece.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@stephaniedubose7225]

Beautiful!!! So does the wax seal it or do you have to put a coat of something else over it for to be smooth feeling?

[@susanvelez6534]

Jami now that piece is stunning!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! I’m loving it. Going to be hard to sell this one but the shop is getting empty fast with the onset of warmer weather so I e got to put it in there.

[@susanvelez6534]

Jami Ray Vintage oh yes it will sell fast! It is just stunning

[@janevaughan4170]

HI- I am a newbie- I have my chalk paint on but want to coordinate the wax to my wall color. Can I use the latex paint from my walls to tint the wax?

[@debbiedavis821]

Beautiful!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@lynettenobles7642]

I love Eastlake!! I hate Duncan Phyfe. I call it dungeon furniture.

[@JamiRayVintage]

It’s not tooo dungeon-ey 😂 I don’t like the thin spindle legs is has. -Zeb

[@anashilinsky]

What a treasure you find it and , how you work on it!! beautiful!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@airizarry12]

Looks amazing Jami

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@airizarry12]

Jami Ray Vintage you are welcome, I love antiques, my husband bought a table many years ago in a second hand store in N.Y. simply because he liked the legs, it had about 11 coats of paint on it and the inside of drawers were painted in cheap silver paint used for radiators. We decided to strip it and it is amazing, it is all in marquetry and all original hardware, we actually saw a table just like it in a very high end store when we worked at a design firm in the village in NY , it was an amazing find.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Very nice! Love finding treasure like that.

[@helenstein9550]

Hello! I am wondering if it matters what kind of paint one mixes in to the wax. Does it have to be chalk paint?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Great question! I’ve also used milk paint. I avoid latex and oil based paints because they typically don’t mix well with the wax.

[@helenstein9550]

Thank you!

[@helenstein9550]

I just looked it up but am still confused about the difference between latex and acrylic paint. Would you mix acrylic paint with wax?

[@sandramiranda4212]

You bring history back to life

[@mandybewkes5300]

Hi Jami, why don't you re stick down the veneer? The hardware is to die for.

[@JamiRayVintage]

It had some big spots missing before that had cracked off before I owned it so I just peeled off what was loose

[@richardzeroth5564]

Good job guys!! Have a GREAT WEEKEND!! Many Blessings from Rich and Dee of MN.:)

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you! ❤️❤️

[@dancingdaisydesigns531]

It looks great! The original hardware was surprising, I expected more a frilly hardware. It looks perfect for the marble too.Great Find!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! I feel like I got lucky finding it. I don’t see very many like this in my area.

[@annecharriere9102]

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing!

[@cookiebabebiz6061]

This is a really special piece - everything about it!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@milthymilthy1147]

That hardware!! It’s all gorgeous. And I LOVE the dovetailing - I’ve never seen that style. ALL OVER PRETTINESS.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Right?! So many fun details.

[@michellethrelkeld4801]

LOVE the dresser and the tip about the veneer was awesome! It looks so cool! Love it! Hugs!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! ❤️❤️

[@sandramiranda4212]

You guys are a great couple, many blessings upon your marriage

[@jackiesherburn1730]

Absolutely beautiful!! My husband is taking me thrifting tomorrow I am so ready to buy all these products and find a dresser to do this technique!!! Thank you so much for your videos !!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yay! Would love to see your finds!

[@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist]

I make my colored wax with powdered milk paint. Works great! This dresser looks really pretty.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Nice! I’ll have to try that!

[@kategoss5447]

I'm in the process of refinishing our dining room furniture. I want a similar effect to this, but I'm wondering if it will work since I've already stripped down and sanded all the pieces? How do I get the bare wood to show through against the white paint better and darker.

[@JamiRayVintage]

If you’re already down to bare wood I would stain it the color you want to show through. I carry a product called Dark and Decrepit that works like a stain/glaze/ sealer all in one. It’s also water based so it plays well with paints and is good safe. jamirayvintage.com/products/dark-decrepit-diy-paint

[@dianedarby1068]

I have a question . Is whites swan about the same color as bead board. I’m going to paint a chest.im trying to decide on a white

[@dannyanazario7503]

Whats the difference between the wax that you metion?

[@JamiRayVintage]

The other wax I mentioned is another brand I carry that can be mixed with paint to tint it. The major difference is that it comes white instead of clear.

[@rosemaryflee]

​@Jami Ray Vintage What is the name of that wax? Are the waxes oil or latex based? Can you make metallic waxes using these two brands of wax? Would luv a tutorial on how to make metallic waxes!

[@fatomabdullah2038]

Wooow so so nice 😍😍

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you! ❤️

[@jameslang1288]

Always a "Thumbs Up"" guys, you increase my knowledge with every video you do.Cheers

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! ❤️❤️

[@annette224m]

Beautiful piece and the dove tailing is magnificent 😊

[@JamiRayVintage]

The dovetailing might be my favorite part!

[@adelinecountrycottage]

Came up beautifully with that marble top, I’m in love with that piece. And girl your still in my head only yesterday I did the same with making black wax as I didn’t have any. It’s a fab idea.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Great minds!

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

Cool art deco hardware.

[@pattycarosi9618]

Stunning piece I love it!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you! ❤️

[@skristenl]

GORGEOUS!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@slimkady12]

Beautiful 😍 Question. Does the final color of the piece appear to be gray? Or is the wax still translucent and show the white underneath with a gray sheen? I’m considering this method for a dresser I’m working on but wonder if it’s easier to paint and wax as normal, or try this and hopefully have a more unique look. Thanks for all your videos! I’ve learned tons from you and Zeb!

[@JamiRayVintage]

This one just had hints of gray because I went so light. If you want more of the color to stay let the colored way dry a bit, then go back over with clear wax.

[@chrispfeifer9235]

That is a beautiful dressert. I've never seen one like it. Love the tinted clear wax technique. Thanks for the video.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@andikennedy4616]

Looove it.

[@LulluBelle28]

LOVE the dresser!!!😍Wish I live nearby so I could snatch it up!

[@sandramiranda4212]

OMG I thought u tad it upside down for a reason lol. I love all your pieces, I wish I lived next door to you lol

[@JamiRayVintage]

Hehe, that would be great!

[@thePaperStitchery]

Do you wipe the wax off after applying?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Sure do. Here’s a full video on waxing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIabgpWbbKaGsM0

[@thePaperStitchery]

Jami Ray Vintage. Thanks.

[@donnaketz6542]

Love the piece!💗 Jami, did you end up buffing the wax in after you brushed it on?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yes, we let this one sit overnight since I had added the paint to the wax and then buffed it.

[@lifesuchasthis3932]

Whomever bought this got a beautiful piece of furniture 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@judiyoung3767]

oh yeah!

[@gloriafields4328]

Great idea. Gonna have to give it a try. Thanks

[@JamiRayVintage]

It’s so fun! You can really accent it with any color you want!

[@carolmancini2648]

Beautiful. Where do you find such great pieces of furniture? I love it. 🤗❤️

[@JamiRayVintage]

Mostly Facebook yard sale pages and thrift stores. I’m on waaaay to many sites and admin a few of them.

[@wendyjones249]

Ahhh!! I adore this piece! It would have to stay in my house! 😉 You're looking very pretty btw with those painted nails and lips! You look like you could be a pinup model!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Awww! You’re so sweet! Thank you!

[@darciacowart3387]

Love the subtle effect of the grey! Looks amazing as always! I popped my head out of the Laundry room when I heard your voice, Danny was watching the video. He said that 4 great neighborhoods are having garage sales on Sat so any solid wood cheap piece he's bringing it home and wants to try this out with all the milk paint colors I got from your store! he got his favorite dinner as a reward and incentive to load up his truck! LOL

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yes!! That’s awesome!

[@darciacowart3387]

He does not know I raided the Ofsprey thrift store the other day in Bluffton. 3 ceramic roosters and 3 chairs to tear apart and re upholster. Plus some pretty neat sterling sliver dishes and tea set!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Shhhh. I won’t tell! 😂

[@sandramiranda4212]

Darcia Cowart , you can even drive through alley and find stuff. I see it all time. But I don't know how to do this, plus I live in an apt😭

[@darciacowart3387]

What a great idea! I told him to do that at the storage units, sometimes people pack in more than they can then use so they leave it. Great idea Sandra Pena
