How To Transform An Armoire | Chippy Drippy Paint

[@theoriginaltamiz6891]

That’s the coolest Jack-in-the-box I’ve ever seen!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@janntybev97gh]

Thanks for sharing. What a great idea upycling this item - you're right - houses don't need those units anymore. So transforming it and keeping the details was a great idea.

[@patriciaaxton9323]

Jack was just too cute hiding in this piece of furniture!

[@evem4876]

Look's gorgeous what a transformation just beautiful tyfs...

[@mwl41223]

You're fearless with paint and using different techniques. Love the look of this piece. Thanks for sharing!💕

[@karenyounger2314]

So awesome. Each aspect creates a mood/attitude on its own. I love the grey washed top and all the blue tones. Most repurposed items end up looking like a slightly altered version of the original. This piece was entirely re-purposed, creating a whole new and beautiful piece of furniture. Thank you!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

It’s one of my favorites that we’ve done!

[@paulakeenan9377]

Love the look of this. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@dianejoa1754]

Jack is darling!!

[@jelenagalambos9631]

Nice colour and the top is beautiful. 🙌

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@eternalfizzer]

Awesome job! And thank you for showing that you use a mask when spraying safely. Love the results!

[@ashleybraden8344]

Very nice! Also I love how you just go for it! Lol I'm over here holding my breath each time you go to do something and you don't even hesitate! Lol love it

[@raechelyndawn2580]

Really cool! I distress for my own hobby but dang....you go all out! Beautiful. Nice to have a hubby that helps!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Blessings!!

[@mrs.mcnamara1669]

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you! It was a fun piece to create! ❤️❤️

[@lisahaywood750]

Look into Old Master stains. Lots of different colors. It seals at the same time!🥳

[@lorimaslin5781]

Great work you two!! 💜💙

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@lynetteeaster1541]

Wow that was beautiful!!! Jack is sooo cute!! : - )

[@JamiRayVintage]

He is super cute. Zeb didn't even know he was in there when he started filming at the beginning until he popped out!

[@jaynetaylor6539]

I just love you guys not only do you have great ideas but you don't take ages showing us how to do it. And I really love that you love a short cut ! When I first started chalk painting I felt so guilty that I wasn't doing it the way that so many people were doing it on web sites and blogs... but you made me realise its the end product that counts ! You are so creative Jamie and your son is gorgeous... I just wish I had a husband like yours ... meaning he knows his stuff haha Take care and keep doing what your doing we love it Jayne :)

[@JamiRayVintage]

There really are no hard and fast rules to painting furniture, some things do work better but if the end result looks good....it’s all okay! Also, our middle daughter is Eliza Jayne, named after Zeb’s aunt. Not often we see this spelling. 👍❤️

[@judiyoung3767]

Wow!!! This us my favorite piece to date....I absolutely love the finish! You look very pretty today Jamie. Thanks for sharing your creative mind!

[@carolmancini2648]

I was scared when you first started painting but you did it. Great job. 👍

[@JamiRayVintage]

I was a little nervous myself, this is an entirely new technique for me.

[@gloriafields4328]

Love the color and the look. Gotta get some smeary wax and Big Top sealer. Think I'll try this is gray tones. You know me; I love all of your videos.

[@lisagordon6355]

What a great team!

[@kawestley1965]

Love it.

[@kawestley1965]

I'm going to look this to do that.

[@couponing4ever]

Love the way this color looks tfs 💕

[@JamiRayVintage]

Me too! This technique isn't for everyone but it's so fun!

[@patgoble1467]

I love the top!

[@LisaHancockGuthrie]

I love it!

[@jeanniealford4234]

You guys are the best!

[@latanyapalmer7252]

Beautiful. Thank You.

[@TeriLynneTX]

The paint finish is amazing girl! Nice job! Dionne will be proud!

[@juliekeenum2824]

❤️❤️WOW❤️❤️ YOU GUYS ROCK!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks, Julie!

[@mandybewkes5300]

I have shiny builder grade white doors can I mix the Ultra bond with regular paint? Love the Armoire.

[@JamiRayVintage]

I would still give them a light sanding if they are super shiny. When I say light sanding I mean, rough up the surface a little with some 120 grit and then paint. If you sand more than 10 minutes you've sanded longer than I would!

[@buzzyanderson4131]

Love! I want to do this!

[@karenyounger2314]

See...Chippy and Drippy! 💜 you!

[@vesnastrugar7770]

Nice!!!

[@pepilopez9196]

Muy .muy beautiful👍👍👍

[@poorcousinsdiy5672]

Liked this for 0:47 alone, my kids are 20 and 21. I miss that age sometimes. Don't get me wrong, the rest of the video was good, but that laugh was fantastic!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Poor Cousin's DIY he's pretty great that Jack

[@aracelisescalona150]

Amazing transformation. I don't know how you do it. Omggggg, gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. Blessings

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks, Aracelis! I'm loving this new technique I learned at DIY bootcamp!

[@ginamaria2579]

This turned out amazing ❤️

[@BeirtMhac]

I was impressed with how straight your cut was, then you mentioned how hard it is lol

[@danaclark8077]

Stunning absolutely stunning 💚

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks, Dana!

[@TeriLynneTX]

OMGosh! Look at Jack! I sure hope our daughter has a boy next... haha. I love our little Madison, but boys are so much "funner". :)

[@marylyman9694]

LOVE this!!!!

[@katvonnova403]

Your son jake is adorable! ❤️❤️❤️ I just had my baby boy, can't wait to see him grow up, Just not too fast lol

[@JamiRayVintage]

+kat von nova, enjoy the moments!

[@debbiemarino3913]

I didn’t know it was possible to put a poly finish over wax. I thought I had to commit to one or the other, so thanks for that info!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Some people frown on it but I’ve never had an issue

[@alejandrabaltazar4376]

I love it.. ❤❤❤

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@soccermom1245]

I have been thinking about these entertainment center/wardrobe things. We have one and paid a fortune for it (Lexington-Bob Timberlake-OldSalem). I pulled out the smaller shelves and drawers and my husband installed a hanging pole for my clothes.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Nice, they are pretty pieces of furniture but they just don't work well for tv's anymore.

[@nancyg.7344]

Hi Jamie! You and your husband are the perfect team. You guys work wonderfully together. And you son is so cute. I love all of your projects. I noticed that you apply white was then apply polycrylic, is that possible? I hate applying poly or polyurethane but some pieces actually need that strong protection.

[@juefryer2078]

Love jack

[@jangulo818]

Love your painting..... can you use extra bond with chalk paint?

[@shinystar82cj]

I painted my book shelf on the wall . Lol, it was easier n faster the real reason I couldn't remove it. lol. But it look great n ppl love it. thank you!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Awesome! Way to make it happen!

[@cindykromholtz1176]

i use mine for my art supplies and it is great. it is very heavy though

[@JamiRayVintage]

They are ridiculously heavy, even cut in half!

[@ShePaints]

I wasn't subscribed to you!!!!!! Good gracious Agnes.

[@havajava2day554]

[@JamiRayVintage]

Потрясающие! Рад, что ты нашла нас! Удачи вам в ваших проектах!

[@ОльгалюблюРоссию]

Jami Ray Vintage Thank you for your wishes )

[@--AllGoNoQuit--]

Can milk paint stick to about a 15 year old wood cedar entertainment center that was probably cleaned with cleansers, polishes or pledge in it's lifetime? The top looks just like yours. I just don't know what oils may be in the wood so the entire paint job may fall right off, bond or not. It's a rough cedar I've been dying to paint.

[@JamiRayVintage]

It can stick to that. I would clean it really well with a degreasing dish soap or TSP.

[@rcatank]

how did you get the wood saw marks done like that? I see cross hatch and then some circular as well.....what did your husband do to the wood?

[@barbarajeanbraceletlady3090]

🦋

[@rogenastyles9625]

I have to say, I love this colour and blending. I have just purchased Miss Mustard seed to do do a very aged rustic worn/chippy effect. I found the Annie Sloan would not give the look I wanted.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Rogena Styles I haven't used Miss mustard seed but I heard it is similar to the sweet pickins I use and sell :)

[@rogenastyles9625]

Jami Ray Vintage not years of that one either. The one you mentioned earlier appears to be sold in US but can’t find stockists in UK. I shall have a play with the Miss Mustard seed over the weekend.

[@jenniferhargrove5280]

Are the minwax stains you use on the wood on top of ur projects water based??

[@JamiRayVintage]

The minwax stains we use are oil based. We’ve gone to mostly using the Real Stain that we carry in our website. The Real Stain is water based.

[@jenniferhargrove5280]

Jami Ray Vintage so if the stain is oil based are we still sealing in polyacrylic?

[@mariettakristoffersen701]

That furniture is a dream!!! I want to ask you if you seal also the inside part of the furniture or just the outside? Greetings from Norway =D

[@JamiRayVintage]

If we paint inside we seal inside.

[@mariettakristoffersen701]

Thank you!!!

[@spekarz310]

How much milk paint did you use on that piece?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Because of the blending it was about a quart.

[@monikaz7484]

Beautiful

[@chuckc8089]

Question maybe you guys can help me with. I'm looking for something to use to reupholster some stuff at home but the foam and stuffing at fabric stores is just insane on there prices . Was hoping for any recommendations you all might know. Ty and appreciate the ideas you all have just got my spray gun up and going the best thing ever 👍

[@JamiRayVintage]

Sometimes I buy camping foam pads at Home Depot

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

I can't tell you how many times I 'd say if only the top wasn't there. Lol.

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

I don’t see anywhere which colors you used for this piece. I want to buy both but don’t know the names. Thanks!

[@JamiRayVintage]

The Latina Next Door moody blue, pantry door and extra bond. www.jamirayvintage.com

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Jami Ray Vintage thanks so much!

[@hannahsams2868]

What’s in the squirt bottle?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Water.

[@rogenastyles9625]

I tried spraying chalk paint and it blocked my sprayer and overheated it. This was with Annie Sloan. What chalk product do you use that’s sprayable.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Rogena Styles I use fairy chalk mother and diy paint. Look up our video on how to spray chalk paint. The key is to strain it and thin it out. Also the sprayer makes a difference. We use an hvlp sprayer from harbor freight and an air compressor

[@rogenastyles9625]

Jami Ray Vintage thanks for the super fast reply. I only have an electric sprayer but will check out the video. Never heard of those paints either but I’m in the UK. Thank you.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Rogena Styles gotcha. I have had friends use the home right sprayer with chalk paint. Be sure to strain well and play with different amounts of water. All chalk paint is different but getting rid of the clumps and thinning it will always help. Just be careful not to thin so much it gets drippy. Annie Sloan can be hard, the one time I sprayed it, it was so thick then it was too thin lol

[@anat6395]

How many layers of the polyacrylic did you use. I just used some on a dresser and as I’m researching on KZbin people sand the layers down and add some more layers. I’m not sure if the sanding down will chip off my paint too much

[@JamiRayVintage]

Ana T it really just depends on the look you want. Most people on KZbin will use polycrylic to get a high sheen on their piece, hence the buffing and leveling in between coats. We typically do 3-5 coats depending on if the piece is a high traffic/use like a table or kitchen cabinets. We do buff the last coat with 400 grit quite often but that’s because we are going for a matte farmhouse finish.

[@sarahloffler1872]

Ouch! Baby fingers!

[@LisaHancockGuthrie]

Sperry(?) wax?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Smeary Wax. I sell it on my website. jamirayvintage.com

[@brianmorrison9168]

I see you used a spackle type filler on this project but sometimes on your other projects you use Bondo. How do you decide? And with small screw hours you use a wood filler. So many choices.. AGH!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Brian Morrison sometimes it’s just what we have close or on hand. If it’s a small hole the spackle and the wood filler work great. If it’s an area that’s going to be stained we always use a stainable wool filler. If it’s a large area that needs to have a strong bond we use the all purpose bondo. Zeb likes to use bondo on Furniture legs and places he may have to add a screw for stability.

[@orianamiele1769]

Could you please be more short in talking telling just important elements, such as color used and means and that's all' instead of talking so much? The outcomei gorgeous but the video is too long and talked.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Most of our videos are over 10 minutes long because we show the full detail of what we do and how we do it. We usually just talk as we show those steps. You could always speed the video up in KZbin settings and watch a 10 minute video in 5 minutes. 👍 Thanks for watching!

[@dianadams6983]

very sad

[@alejovelasquez9080]

Horrible

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!
