[@juliemarie1116]

I really like the process u use,it seems like there is so much paint used then to sand it all.love love the dresser

[@bethmann3283]

Love this layered look! Been seeing so many with opposite colors, but I'm loving the monochromatic look, beautiful!

[@milkmanzwife]

This is another beautiful piece and I just love the soft minty greens.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@bobbierankin517]

Jami I love your work and your colors r great. Thank you for showing your technique.....

[@carolynlunel9382]

This is a fantastic tutorial on the combo of paints!!! I definitely plan to try it out,thx so much, Jami!

[@J.Kenobi]

Really love the finish on this. The handles add a lot of character.

[@JamiRayVintage]

They’ve got that fun almost mid century feel!

[@tambij]

I think it looks great. But if I had it in my home I’m thinking I wouldn’t distress. I use to always distress and I’m kinda wanting something different more finished. Thanks for all the info & tips. So appreciate it 😀👍👍👍

[@vickikenefsky5636]

This is a piece I truly love. Really warm and lovely. VK

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@jenniferhargrove5280]

Love how u softened the bleedthrough with the white wax..great idea

[@karenyounger2314]

I loved it (especially the top), before the final coat...

[@curban616]

Love it!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@allisonharrelson3276]

Thank you Jayne!

[@emilymalcolm87]

Beautiful, you make it look so easy and well done Jami for only buying 1 Item at the Market, I'm proud of ya : )

[@JamiRayVintage]

Sometimes it’s so hard at those markets to not spend all the money I make! 😂

[@shannonturner392]

This was great. !!

[@martinebangs6520]

Great job Jami....tfs

[@donnacone4714]

Very pretty Jamie ☮️

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@deegorgeous]

I was worried when you started adding the milk paint but it didn't cover it up like I thought it was going to. I really love this look and agree with you about the bleed through. Loving the French Country stuff!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yeah, if it was white I’d be shellacking this for days! It works with this color though.

[@chrispfeifer9235]

lovely!

[@anitarobertson418]

Love this

[@jaimew.2145]

Love it!!

[@jacquicardona7127]

Love it

[@fifitis03]

Love!

[@soccermom1245]

I just can't make myself like the crooked handles. They are SO 50s!! But the color is nice and I am glad to here you mix paints. Frugality!

[@JamiRayVintage]

I wanted to change the handles initially but Zeb convinced me to leave them. It’s not my style to have them angled like that but someone will love it!

[@adelinecountrycottage]

Fab as always Jami. - Kirstie

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks Kirstie!

[@donnaprzybilla2936]

Was it hard to paint over this beautiful chest of drawers? It has beautiful details. It would've been hard for me but, I always like how it turns out.

[@JamiRayVintage]

No, but I paint hundreds of pieces a year so I may be desensitized. Every now and then Zeb will convince me to leave some wood accents. Usually on the top of pieces.

[@bettyboop1524]

I love the finish. Questions: why don't the drawers stick when painting over them and does the milk paint continue to chip or does it stop the chip process once sealed in wax? Thank you so much,

[@JamiRayVintage]

Sometimes they stick a little and I have a designated butter knife I use to run around the edge of the drawers. It will stop chipping but what chips, chips. It’s hard to predict or control.

[@joaquinsanchezotero9149]

Porfa lo de la botella es agua gracias

[@nurse052011]

Love these colors!! Q: Is DIY paint and Chalk paint the same?

[@JamiRayVintage]

They are different. DIY paint is clay based, making it thicker and it’s more pigmented which is why it blends so well.

[@juliemarie1116]

Ohhhhh Jamie,,,,,,, NOTHING I DO TURNS OUT LIKE WHEN YOU AND ZEB DO IT. I'M DISTROTED!!!

[@mrazik131]

Julie Marie that is my biggest worry too, maybe you just too self critical? Hugs

[@laineyruocco7584]

Hi, Jami, I love to pick your brain!! I just purchased a beautiful table today that has a light shine and some light stenciling on it. Rather than go back to the more than 30 of ur videos, pls tell me can I go right over this shine and light stenciling with DIY white. Will it give me full coverage and does the dark oil wax (black) from sweet pickins work well over DIY paint. Do I need to put 2 coats of DIY paint?

[@JamiRayVintage]

It will go over the shine but you’ll probably need to do 2-3 coats for full coverage if it’s really shiny. I recommend a light buff with some 220 sand paper. The oil wax works great over DIY paint but it works best on sweet Pickens milk paint.

[@nperks3107]

How do you choose when to use primer on a piece, and when you don't? I watched a dresser redo right before this video (it was a gorgeous navy blue one) and you primed that one, but not this. Hope to hear back from you. Thanks!

[@JamiRayVintage]

I use high bond primer on a lot of laminate pieces or pieces that have really slick or shiny to help the paint adhere. I also use it on pieces if I want a two tone with the white coming through when I distress. Primer is a lot cheaper than paint and I still get the two tone look. Hope that helps!

[@nperks3107]

Jami Ray Vintage Oh I see. That helps tremendously! Thanks!

[@draespade4017]

Happy Easter! For this, you didn't before the milk paint, right? You went straight from DIY to Milk paint to blend, correct? thank you for all your and Zeb help and answering me! your the best!

[@draespade4017]

Sorry missed a word, you didn't "SEAL" before the milk paint, you went straight from chalk to milk?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yes, I wanted them to blend a little instead of being two toned so I didn’t seal between paint colors.

[@jasminegomez-zavala8804]

nice tutorial. how did the sale go?you guys had a lot of beautiful things❤👍

[@JamiRayVintage]

It went well! The only big piece that didn’t sell was the table.

[@judibates9608]

I'm not really loving all that bleed through. If you kinda know it's going to bleed and you don't want it on your piece, couldn't you just put a primer or shellac on first, so there won't be any bleed through? I have a dresser that "looks" like it's cherry wood or mahogany. I have a feeling it will bleed through a lot. What would you suggest before painting to keep it from bleeding through. Thanks

[@JamiRayVintage]

Sure can. I haven’t had much luck using primers as a stain blocker. If I want to eliminate bleed through I prefer Zinser Shellac. I have a video on how I use it. 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6rPhqWlaNaYfNE

[@pamclayton4339]

Jami, you said you like to do 3 coats of wax...do you buff each coat before applying the next coat?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yeah I buff in between. Not a real shiny buff, just light enough to pull off any excess

[@judileavenworth9389]

can you seal the chalk paint with a polycrylic and the put milk paint over the top or will the milk paint not stick at all to the sealer?

[@JamiRayVintage]

You could put milk paint on top. It should stick ok.

[@JamiRayVintage]

I should add it will probably chip a lot, which is sometimes awesome.

[@leesa9615]

Love it!! Quick question? Have you ever worked on veneer? I think it’s veneer, it’s fake shinny wood like but it’s manufactured that way. If so have you had any luck or can you suggest something . Should my disc everrr get better and I get outta bed lol!Im friggin dyin to get back to my shop 😪 you e inspired me tremendously ! Malimine board I think? Not veneer

[@JamiRayVintage]

I’ve painted it. You’ll want to give it a decent scuffing with sand paper and I use Fairy Chalk Mother High Bond Primer in pieces like this to get maximum paint adherence.

[@officeadministrator9316]

Looks amazing! Just curious why you don't remove the drawers before painting?

[@JamiRayVintage]

On a finish like this it’s much easier to blend when it’s all together.

[@JamiRayVintage]

On a finish like this it’s much easier to blend when it’s all together.

[@crystalalmarode1136]

What is the difference between polyurethane and polycrylic?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Polyurethane is an oil based sealer. It’s very durable and excels in outdoor conditions. It can yellow or give off an amber color over whites. Polyacrylic is a water based sealer. Also very durable but better for indoor use. It doesn’t yellow. (If you get yellowing using polyacrylic it is what’s known as bleed through. Or a stain or oils from the wood coming through the paint)

[@maxwellstudio19]

I’m loving this finish! How many different paints would you use as a minimum to create this finish? I would love to see some boy furniture refinished. I find it hard to find refinished pieces that would work for boys. As a mother to two boys, and one girl I find it’s so easy to decorate my daughters room but difficult to find pieces for my boys (outside of natural wood finishes).

[@JamiRayVintage]

I used 5 different colors in total. 4 DIY colors for the initial blending and the 5th was Sweet pickins milk paint to get the chipping. As to boys furniture, I have 3 boys and they don’t seem to care if I paint it or not! 😂 I paint their furniture solid colors, black, gray, red and navy.

[@deegorgeous]

I love Navy for boys

[@dtneven]

just a quick question for you, I was wondering if you can put a clear coat over wax finishes? By the way Like how this piece turned out. Looks great.

[@JamiRayVintage]

I sometimes put clear coat over decorative waxes that have tint to them once they are fully cured but generally it’s a no no.

[@dtneven]

Jami Ray Vintage Thanks for that, I have only just started using chalk paint, and I was just wondering if it was possible to do...

[@Maltesear]

Hi Jami do you not get stains coming through from the stain in the wood? I have encountered this with a piece recently and I had to repaint with undercoat :(

[@JamiRayVintage]

We get that all the time. What I use is spray shellac to fix the bad spots and repaint over them. Here’s a video on how we fix it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6rPhqWlaNaYfNE

[@Maltesear]

@@JamiRayVintage thank you!!

[@mysecondwind2009]

looks great as usual....you said you paid 60 for it so with that and the amount of time.....how much are you selling it for. I never want to under value my work thanks....

[@JamiRayVintage]

I’m selling it for $295.00 in my area here in Utah.

[@karenweber8893]

I Love this dresser!!! should I post my address(?!)

[@JamiRayVintage]

Haha!

[@carolynlunel9382]

Lol..me,too!

[@jackiebrown6577]

👍🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@vickiauman9728]

Hypothetical...Can that be stripped off later in case a family member wants to return an antique to an "original" stain?

[@JamiRayVintage]

+Vicki Ellison yes I mean you would need to restain and seal it. And this piece had damage in the top and the drawers so you would need to replace the veneer. But chalk and milk paints are easier to strip than latex.

[@vickiauman9728]

Jami Ray Vintage great I'm thinking of doing something like this to a family piece. I know some people are super against doing such to family heirlooms, so I just want to make sure I can undo anything I decide to.

[@gailfreese3849]

Beautiful! But I don't think an amature like myself could pull it off.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Practice on a piece of scrap wood or an old cabinet door. 👍 have fun with it!

[@combows]

You're gonna take off the hard ware hmmmm lol .... #thatswhathusbandsarefor lol
