I would LOVE to see you paint 3 identical things (maybe chairs?) with all 3 kinds of paint (milk, chalk, DIY) to show the difference in how it applies, and how it sands off.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Oh. That’s a great idea!

[@rogenastyles9625]

Hazel L. Great idea. I’d like to see that to.

[@grandmasuperboy1441]

Loved the top , not so much the front,would been nicer solid color in the front,and blending on top!

[@friedaschnell3729]

I'm holding my breath watching you paint over the the wood grain.

[@lifesuchasthis3932]

[@SableSunsets]

Thank you Jami Ray and Zeb I really wanted to watch you use the Milk paint on a chest dresser. I have the milk paint just need to order from you the white wax I have the clear wax. ❤

[@tinasimmons98]

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@karenfeinberg2416]

New favorite color: grey-blue or blue-grey

[@jenniferhargrove5280]

This one very unique...ur right milk paint has a min of its own😊

[@bharvard2166]

I really like it....put it a washroom with large tub off center...add terrible looking washboards....you could take this this through all four seasons leave washboards and go for it...I would add it to country French...love it...entry hall with gold French mirror over that you very lightly add same paint...maybe take gold down in color with more bronze look...

[@theaudreycoley]

This turned out so great!

[@rachaelbackdoor4872]

I have watched several of your videos now. You guys really do a great job. Not only do you impart what you are doing as you do it, handing out great tips throughout, but then you recap. Very professional. I am almost ready to try some of this. Going to make a trip to Harbor Freight first and get a sprayer.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you, would love to see your creations!

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

Whoa !!! Sooooooooo GORGEOUS !!! ♥️

[@JamiRayVintage]

[@hazelfisher4466]

Great piece Love your video so natural and informative good luck with all your projects

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@QueenVetis]

It came out fantastic❤️❤️ Great Job

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@hazell.705]

The more furniture I paint, the more I develop my style. I wound up painting the sides of drawers and their sides, and the inside where the drawers slide in, about 6 inches. I'm trying to get more up the nerve to sand as heavy as you do. After all the work of painting, it looks so clean and nice and I just sand lightly. I love your work but I'm not as bold as you are. You're so lucky to have a mate who takes part and is interested and HELPS!!

[@springhernandez7417]

I have one just like this. But I cute the legs off haven’t decided what color I’m painting yet! I want ceramic knobs for sure. Love you two!

[@gloriafields4328]

Love it !!!! Love the old look !!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks Gloria! It’s my favorite. ❤️❤️

[@annette224m]

This came out great, I love the way this piece looks!😊

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@lifeofjess27]

It came out so cute. 💖

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@bsa615]

I really do enjoy your videos! great techniques! And I look forward to more videos. With that said, It looks like that chest is from the early 20th century , maybe a little earlier, I'm thinking around the 20's ...... are those wood wheels? Anyway it also looks to be quarter sawn (tiger oak) wood..... I personally wouldn't paint over that but it really is no big deal if you wanted to go back to the original. Bottom line I really do like the way it turned out ! Looking forward to trying this out!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@leosuniverse]

that came out pretty cool

[@MrsBee-uo2lc]

I feel like this technique could be applied to plain wood to make it look like old barnwood....👍🤷‍♀️

[@emilymalcolm87]

Has to be one of my favourites. Jami could you help me out please. I want to sell a piece of furniture Ive painted but inside the drawers are a bit scruffy looking any chance you could you do a video on how to spruce up the inside of old drawers to make pieces more saleable. Thank You.

[@jodysutton9296]

WOW.I love it.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@terirosen7957]

That's a great piece!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@heathermacaulay3897]

I would love you to let your husband create his own video. All by himself.

[@pattycarosi9618]

Looks great!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! ❤️❤️

[@enlightenmente4801]

your an amazing artist!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! ❤️❤️

[@kimberlydrake6676]

So I am just curious say you used the milk paint and it chipped more then you wanted...before waxing could you do a second coat with bond in it..I like the painted over many times look for like a barn door or a shutter would it stick to the paint already on there? I hope that makes sense! I live on a farm and many outbuildings have been painted or probably have many coats of lime and the base coat wasn’t sanded smooth...I would like to get that look for some accent pieces like windows or shutters for inside...if it would stick I think this could achieve that look! What do you think? Many thanks for imparting your knowledge you have taught me so much!😊

[@gingerlynnjohnson7854]

Did you use the same brush for the white and clear wax? Love, love, love this project!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Sometimes I do. Just make sure to scrape the white off the brush before going in with the clear wax.

[@jodyp323]

See, to me, this isn't chippy, rather distressed. Chippy has layers. I love this, though!

[@MimiDidi121]

What was in the spray bottle? Just water? It's funny that you do this so much that sometimes a person forgets to tell those little details.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yes, just water. 😊

[@Crystal-be9ze]

I would buy this dresser, happy accident, it looks amazing, P.S, I commented as if I were watching this live 😂😂 that explains my randomness

[@ginamaria2579]

Looks great 🤗

[@lauren_vlach]

Will you do a video on wall decor? I’m looking for a big piece of wall decor for my living room!

[@JamiRayVintage]

We’ve got a few videos. 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGPXl5Z9qbx1brc kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn-pZ6WsjsRsb9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/hanXoX6ZoLJknrs

[@rogenastyles9625]

I love milk paint. Have you ever used hemp oil to seal and how did it wear.

[@thelittlebrushat56vintagem52]

When using this finish, how long did you wait between first coat and second coat and how long before you sanded?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Just until it was dry. Then I did the neck thing coat. I also sanded once dry

[@jennyduncan5799]

I like it very much. I also would be tempted to hit it with some dark stain. I don't know, i'm into that at the moment.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Could be good!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!!

[@vickiejahner8636]

Do you have to use milk paint to blend and get a chippy look ?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Not necessarily but it sure does help. The milk paint naturally chips and crackles and flakes.

[@lavenderfields5188]

What is the SQUIRT BOTTLE you used? It appeared to give a nice fine, even mist. Not always easy to find...

[@JamiRayVintage]

I got these squirt bottle at the dollar tree.

[@lottiefaith6935]

Was it hard to paint the pretty wood at first? I love the distressed look but hate covering the wood.

[@JamiRayVintage]

No, it was a veneer and it was chipping and flaking off all over. Zen glued it some before we started but it was still pretty damaged.

[@hazell.705]

I have a dresser of this age. What paint would have given better coverage?

[@JamiRayVintage]

The DIY paint will cover this great. I knew the milk paint would get chippy. It just got A LOT chippier than I anticipated.

[@collage03tds]

Can I do this same technique on Fake wood? I have a dresser I got from IKEA I want to make super chippy. What do you recommend?

[@JamiRayVintage]

is the dresser dark already?

[@collage03tds]

Yes! Dark brown.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Ok. If it’s that slick plastic type material? Or one of their wood dressers?

[@collage03tds]

More wood like.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Oh, well you should be fine to just paint it. Just make sure it’s not slick so the paint sticks. 👍👍

[@aniehayat85]

That looks awesome! I gotta ask, does your hand ever cramp up?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Sometimes. It hasn’t been bad yet this summer.

[@Crystal-be9ze]

That was quarter sawn tiger oak 😢 I’m sorry I have to cry on this one, I know, I know you’re a painter lol, also this blended finish confused me, were you mixing two colors to make a third color? Or is that just what it ended up being? In the end it turned out cute, I cannot tell a lie. The air hose lol I do that! Haha best idea ever, I even do it after heavy distressing bc I only distress by hand bc I’m a gluten for punishment, I’m afraid to distress with the sander, I would ruin my piece for sure lol

[@JamiRayVintage]

It's ok lol the veneer was chipping off really bad I almost just peeled it all off. Zeb glued what he could.

[@Crystal-be9ze]

Jami Ray Vintage oh I see, that calls for paint 😂😂 it really did turn out cute, I love how the wood grain peaked through.

[@JamiRayVintage]

We blended black and white to make gray because I was out. Then I added a little more white to change the shade of gray slightly.

[@chrisinedison]

Crystal Yep, I felt the same way bcuz I have tiger oak furniture. I darn near had a heart attack. Still love Jami and Zeb 😁

[@JamiRayVintage]

Don’t have a heart attack! 👍 The veneer was nearly flaking off. Zeb glued what he could back on.

[@user-en5vd2nq4d]

👌👌👌👌👌👌💞

[@dottiegreeninger7073]

So is it the milk paint that makes it chippy???

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yes

[@dottiegreeninger7073]

@@JamiRayVintage Thank you! And I just liked your FB page... thanks for inviting me!

[@1jmass]

Why did the top chip less than the rest of the piece?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Not sure. Milk paint for ya!

[@andikennedy4616]

I love you guys but this dresser is just to dull. It looks like you just sanded it to start painting. I love the top. Someone will love it and take it home. Tfs

[@sandralevy5965]

Is white wax the same as liming wax?

[@JamiRayVintage]

I’ve used lime wash but never lime wax so I couldn’t say for sure. It adds a soft white and tones down bright colors some. Much like a dark wax would darken a piece, white wax lightens it.

[@debbydhill]

It gets the same result, stinky though.. :)

[@sandralevy5965]

Oh, o.k. Thanks.

[@karenyounger2314]

Nice, It seems to have some blue tones...love that....a happy accident!

[@henmich]

So funny to spend all that time making stuff look old and crappy....

[@JamiRayVintage]

Lol. I love the old, worn style. I’m laughing to the bank, but did you subscribe?

[@FIZZYYAM]

Looks like crap.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Did you subscribe? 😊

[@tlilley6237]

I hate it. It looks like a piece of junk!

[@JamiRayVintage]

But did you subscribe?

[@JamiRayVintage]

But did you subscribe?

[@michaelpadilla5770]

I have to be honest that looks horrible it's a waste of product it's a waste of time it looks horrible

[@JamiRayVintage]

I have to be honest, I’m going to sell it this week and buy more paint and do more furniture just like it next week. Thanks for weighing in and watching. 👍

[@luanntexascitizen4345]

Michael Padilla , I get what you are saying. The worn out used look isn't everyone's cup of tea. But it is a real design asthetic that has become popular. They have it nailed. I personally prefer pieces that look new and crisp. Still, great tips and advice and fun to watch.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks Luann!

[@friedaschnell3729]

I'm holding my breath watching you paint over the the wood grain.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Oh Freida, this might not be the channel for you. Mostly what we do here is paint over wood grain. Not always. But a lot of the time.
