How To Make Paint Look Like Wood

[@melissamccarter6102]

Hands down makeover #2! It went from cutesy to classic...love it!

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks Melissa!

[@joannagaylord6720]

Makeover #2 is the winner. I don’t usually go for faux finish but the juxtaposition either the back is just stunning for this delicate piece.

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks! i'm with you. I like makeover #2 better as well. ;)

[@aprilstipes6523]

makeover #2!

[@lydianuwaysir7325]

You are right - FABULOUS! I prefer the faux wood finish and the black base. It's just beautiful (as your work always is! 🙂)

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks Lydia! XOXO

[@karenofsthun6726]

Yes, the way to mask off curvey corners is a super tip!! Really enjoy your vlogs and have used your many different techniques for couple years!

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks! I find it so helpful too. Thanks for following Karen. Much appreciated! Hugs

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I def love makeover #2!! Gorgeous!

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks my friend! XOXO

[@toniadkins6264]

😊I like them both, but #2 is my favorite. It’s gorgeous! Keep it!

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks for chiming in Tonia and I'm with you. I really like both finishes but #2 is my fave as well. :)

[@suesherman3587]

One of my favorite techniques! Learned this from Black sheep and also did a table with a black base and faux for the top. Yours looks stunning!

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks so much Sue!!! XOXO

[@angelazguric4944]

Love that faux wood colour !

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks Angela!

[@marieblackburn1614]

This makeover has me so excited Denise! I have a console table waiting in the queue for a redo makeover for my own personal use and I'm in love with this finish. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@SalvagedInspirations]

You're going to have a lot of fun with this Marie! Enjoy your weekend my friend. Hugs XOXO

[@catherinecooper2360]

That is so cool! It looks great so I have to say even though #1 was great, I like this one better. Good job!!

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Meee toooo hehe. Thanks Catherine!! XOXO

[@shirleyjohnson3397]

Love the faux finish. You did a fabulous job. But the white glaze was beautiful too. Keep sharing with us. ThankU 😊

[@susanreed5490]

Stunning transformation! I love it and wouldn't blame you for keeping it, I sure would, lol! Just went to Amazon and ordered the pet hair brush - now I need to find the perfect piece to do this technique on! :) ♥

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Hope you enjoy it, I think it does an awesome job with the faux wood grain. Have fun!

[@kathystewart9284]

Thanks so much Andrea! 😊

[@francesbison1268]

Love #2 makeover over!!

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Love the taping tip Denise!

[@UpcycledHome]

Love the grain finish, what a cool idea!!!

[@megh1684]

Definitely makeover #2, ala Black Sheep’s technique, is better!

[@theresaarcher3667]

Love, love, love makeover two! So gorgeous

[@sophiachristo7546]

Gorgeous! Definitely the makeover N2 is amazing! Its s nobble you mentioned Black Sheep House... everything depicts your lovely personality! Thanks so much for sharing

[@teresacathey8189]

Hello Denise. I pick number 2 - what a transformation. It’s beautiful!’😮😮❤❤❤

[@liettelafontaine7936]

love the second one ,it's so beautiful!!!I have to have this pet hair brush and try it!!!Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@kathywest7380]

Love it! Definitely prefer makeover #2 so much more! I've been watching Black Sheep House for her faux finish as well and both of you have helped me so much! I'm about to do this on the back of my freshly painted white bookcases to get a linen look but can't find clear glaze! Believe it or not! Canada must be behind in the newest looks! However, I'm going to improvise with adding equal parts poly and water to my paint. Any suggestions would be very welcome!

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Oh, i believe it Kathy! I always had clear glaze on hand in my inventory UNTIL I couldn't find where to buy it in the GTA anymore. :| What I've been doing is improvising with my colored glazes (like I did in this video) OR adding Flotrol to paint to give me a longer open time to manipulate a 'glazed' finish. I'd love to hear how the poly + paint works for you!!

[@kathywest7380]

It's worked on my little sample boards. I'm just hoping it works across the 30 inches or so on the actual bookcases! I'll only go in small sections and work as quickly as I can, I guess! I could only find Zinsers extender at Home Depot but thought it would make it more difficult to leave the brush strokes that I want for this finish. Am I right?

[@francesbison1268]

What kind of sprayer did you go with?

[@comfortosei3578]

Number 2 is the winner

[@angeecox1189]

Hi Denise 👋 after seeing the video, I like the black much better than in the pictures! Great job 👏

[@momma5095]

I'm in love with it! Keep it😊

[@kristincardona2506]

I love makeover #2 best

[@joanmacleod1362]

Love your channel. Just heard you mention Sobeys so I know you are Canadian. Another reason to love this channel. Thanks for sharing. Love #2

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks so much Joan! :)

[@ellencook5697]

#2 definitely....I don't have a spray gun...I assume I can apply the top coat with a brush. That's what I like about Shannan at Black Sheep, she brushes her projects

[@SalvagedInspirations]

For sure! A brushed topcoat works amazing as well!

[@shelleywallace1228]

Beautiful job!! What finish/gloss of Gator Hyde? Did you use? Love your work.

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Gator Hide only comes in one finish which I would describe as 'Satin'... not too shiny so it looks really good with this faux finish.

[@jaguarfemme]

Love it! What sprayer do you use?

[@tammyboone2830]

Love #2

[@monicavalenzuela508]

[@aprilstipes6523]

can you brush on the gator hide?

[@SalvagedInspirations]

You sure can!

[@sandrafelcini5732]

Ciao!..potresti dirmi,cos' è che spruzzi al passaggio finale?.. 😅 perdonami non so la tua lingua e non capisco quello che spieghi😂❤❤

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Ciao da Toronto Sandra! 🤗Sì, è un topcoat poliacrilico protettivo. Ho incluso il collegamento nella casella "vedi altro" della descrizione sopra. È possibile fare clic sul collegamento per vederlo. È come Minwax o Varathane se ce l'hai in Italia. 🙂
