You have helped my wife and I a lot with DYI PROJECTS

[@TheEagleslover]

Great job Niki. We live and we learn so take this project as a learning event because I’m preparing to paint a dresser for my granddaughter and now I know what to do!

[@CoriNagy]

Thanks for sharing the whole process!! The dresser is beautiful!!!! 💖

[@MissJ74]

The side cabinet turned out beautiful. Great job 👍🏽

[@yolandalofton9967]

Thank you, I have a small nightstand I need to paint, you have motivated me!

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Yes definitely do it!

[@gloriawilliams4678]

I’ve got two laminate pieces that i’m getting ready to paint black as well. You’ve inspired me to be able to do it. I just took the doors off and the hardware. I went and got that same primer that you have and had them to try to tint it a little darker for me. It turned out a light gray color, which still may help that black paint cover better. I’ll let you know how it turned out when I’m done. Thanks again.

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Sounds like you’re off to a good start!!! Can’t wait to hear about it!

[@gloriawilliams4678]

@@DIYbyNikyFoster I hope so. I’ve never done this before, lol

[@MrsPatPape]

Very through explanation and demos. LOVE the bee knobs. Thanks!

[@PotterClayViews]

Wow! Awesome makeover Niky.

[@DellaBourne]

[@Kosmofire]

Looks great! I appreciate your real DIY journey because I think when I mess up what’s wrong with me lol.. now you need to do decoupage!!!

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

😂😂trust me everyone messes up sometimes! Its not only you! ❤️❤️

[@Kosmofire]

@@DIYbyNikyFoster lol nice to know I’m in good company 🤣❤️

[@IMOO1896]

I have a laminate over pressboard chest of drawers, that has its original finish. I’ve learned from you -prime! Thanks also for the sheen recommendation also.

[@SonjiLCole]

Embarking upon painting kitchen cabinets, I so needed this info/video! I hope the cabinets come out as beautiful as your furniture piece did. Thanks much ☺

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

They will just be patient!!! It takes time, but you got this! Thanks so much

[@Foster_MPH]

Great job as always!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@Csharpflat5]

I got a few Goodwill finds that needs this❤

[@jeremylacow]

I’m so glad I found your channel today! It’s a cloudy, snowy day and watching your video has given me inspiration and motivation to start back up on some refinishing projects. I’ve had a couple projects that did not come out like my vision and it gets frustrating. I’m trying to be better as thinking of it as a plot twist instead of a fail. Thanks again for sharing your projects. BTW, I’m obsessed with the bee knobs!

[@TrumpetReady]

Scuff sanding on laminate always is best before priming and painting. Also lightly sanding between coats can remove brush strokes.

[@atkbro1]

gorgeous!

[@elizabethpark4832]

It looks so neautiful. Did you pit a clear coat on over the black paint?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

I didn’t and no scratches. The new paint I used is the secret, but you can add clear coat on top. It won’t hurt it. I actually brought it but didn’t use it.

[@JustShara4]

I love it Niky! 💛💛💛💛

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thank you!!

[@wintergirl3298]

Wow, beautiful!!!

[@katherinecarmona3257]

Did you sand the laminate before adding the primer or just gave it a good clean? My dresser is brown no paint and I want to do exactly what you did but this is my first refurbish

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thank you for watching! I did not have to sand as this primer does all the work! It makes life way easier not worrying about sanding! This dresser is still intact to this day. I use it on the daily and there are no chips. Don’t skimp on the primer, the one i used and recommended is a must for it to work! Let me know if you have any other questions

[@friedakroynik8901]

Those handles make all the difference. I like the bee knobs, too.

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thank you! I love the bee knobs too! ❤️❤️

[@briemills9209]

Very pretty!

[@pompommania]

Im a satin girl too. Ty for the tips!

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

It’s the best right!

[@sarahvacca9363]

Looks so beautiful! Thanks for showing your behind the scene flops. It is nice to know that these things happen to you too. I noticed you had white paint on the outside side of the drawers. How would you remove that?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thanks! The white is overspray from when I first painted it with my sprayer. I could probably paint that part again in an even coat of white. I don’t think there is an easy way to remove it at this point.

[@WatchTashi]

Is that latex paint by chance? I made that mistake once...never again though. It happens and it's how we learn! Nice job!

[@christharp2589]

Love it!

[@beckymiller2277]

It is Beautiful!!!

[@rebekahrogers4031]

Why don’t you recommend Vitra-strip if you have a lot of grooves? And what would you recommend?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

It was very hard to clean the citristrip out. For that, I would just try to sand and use primer over it!

[@rosasareblue]

Thank you for sharing what didn’t work!

[@therealJamieJoy]

I AGREE! Thanks!

[@therealJamieJoy]

LOVE the bee knobs!! #KHive This was a gorgeous makeover. I loved it white, too. Just a whole different look. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@mskytube]

How is she not wrecking her nail polish? Great info as I have some Sauder pieces that I want to paint.

[@bettyphil9434]

I am also planning to paint my kitchen and pantry

[@southerngurltee]

Looks great, I have pieces Orienyal cherry wood that I would love to paint but I think I need to Hire someone. I don't want to get rid of them but they need a makeover

[@carmonacrafts1972]

According to Google you can use water-based paint if you prime the surface the correct way.

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Yeah probably, i did it wrong the 1st time around.

[@HildeAzul]

I have noticed that quite a few DIY extraordinars on KZbin also, like yourself- here, don’t remove drawers when painting. May I ask why and if there are benefits? If there is logically no benefits of removing, painting f wisnthe drawers and it saves me some time… When I dmy kitchen, husband’s vanity, two nightstands with drawers and a dresser, bathroom vanity (which was a hiuuuge waste of time as we had a pipe burst two days before we were sent to move into the new home… but as bummed as I was the vanity couldn’t be saved,!&we got a $10,000, beautiful vanity, white druzy quartz counter, so… fine… but still… hahah and it was the first and ugliest peice I did… ) Anyways, I am not understanding why there isn’t a need to remove the drawers ‘. I am about to redo the idea laminate nightstands and if I can’t paint around the drawers, but with precise results, I’ll be one happy woman!

[@HildeAzul]

Okay, it sounds like you removed the drawers to get the frame… Thanks for the tips!!!!

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

I like using it too!

[@angelikaskoczylas3129]

Such a beautiful wood grain. Covered in white ☹️

[@longboredterrie]

People just sand your stuff, it works out 100 percent, and it's not that big of a deal yes oil base takes longer to dry, but the finish will last longer oil base paints and finishes are not hard to use really !!

[@paula6286]

I love it!
