I'M IN LOVE WITH A STRIPPER!! - How to turn dark furniture into light wood

[@carolinedubose5136]

I love the lighter color! What a nice change from dark and clunky looking!

[@debraneria4242]

So beautiful Shannon ..I'd leave hinges alone as they blend in and let the wood be the star...love seeing your daughter she's super smart for her age and adorable 🥰👍

[@paulettemayfield8171]

Your work is just beautiful! Little mama already has a good paint hand. 😊

[@kathrynkneeland7179]

Fabulous! Great tutorial. You made me miss having a little girl. My little girl is about to turn 46. Oh how i loved raising my daughter who is a wonderful human being. She was a mini-me just like your daughter. She painted so carefully! Loved that!!

[@blacksheephouse]

I will be so sad when she goes off to kindergarten next year 😭

[@RavenVargas27]

Watching wood finishes and stains being stripped is so satisfying 🥰 Wow I like the after restoration color and look much better

[@weekendatbernies2265]

Ugh, unless you are In It....Cringing the whole time till its gone...

[@darehco]

This is a gorgeous piece. You did an amazing job!!

[@Lemoncatsf]

I know that I’m finding your video late but this is great. My ex husband refinished his grandparent’s entire vintage dining set and buffet as well as some other pieces using this technique more than thirty years ago. These were the pieces we used daily with our young family. You brought back some sweet memories. It’s a non aggressive way to customize pieces.

[@littleigloo5931]

This is absolutely fabulous! I love the look and you are learning and sharing so many wonderful techniques. Thank you very much for being kind enough to share. Also, I’m grateful you have found the joy in work and are teaching your daughter by your example. The world needs more mothers just like you! Great job!!!

[@tanyamiele5326]

I love all of your work I’ve used your pottery barn technique and I love it!!! But I do have to say the best part of this video is your daughter she’s so adorable I love that she’s your little helper in your videos ❤

[@melissadoyle2482]

Thank you for wearing the correct personal protective equipment! I’m a health and safety professional and I notice so many mistakes online.

[@PunsandPixels]

What kind of mask is that? Do you have to use it if you are doing this in the garage with the garage door open?

[@1953lili]

A restorer from Turkey got really ticked off when I wrote that I was afraid for him when he didn’t test for lead paint on an old painted cabinet.

[@donnamorris2436]

a soda/sand blaster is life changing for this, its baking soda so it is not toxic ,but it saves so much time and the result is amazing.

[@fominaya24]

I've watched hundreds of videos and, by far, you're the one of few I can listen to while paying attention, not correcting your grammar (in my head constantly, you're so easy going, and it seems you have lived and learned your processes. I'll keep on watching everything you post!

[@peggym60]

I love that use use “normal” tools and paint that most of us have or can afford! The dresser is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@jeanniesmith6766]

I think you hit a Homerun!! So beautiful!

[@7adethelrou75]

You’re so talented, I love your creativity! Your daughter is adorable ❤

[@carinmarie3313]

A hardware tutorial? Yes please! 😊

[@reniehandler2595]

I just refinished my dining room table with many different wood types. I wish I had seen this video while doing all the work. The paint wash is absolutely the best solution to make all the wood look cohesive! The dresser turned out beautiful!!

[@savannahlg5188]

This is exactly the video I needed to see for an 1880-1920 dresser I’m restoring! Thanks heaps. Love your vibe and work x

[@cynthiaprince414]

Beautiful! Love the lighter wood tone without a thick paint job. It still shows the pretty wood grain. Great work

[@aubreywilcox9882]

Her “doot” melted me and Chase 🥹🫠

[@leeannoneal4847]

I love how it came out! Your daughter is so sweet, and is great at painting!

[@marilynyarbrough7951]

Beautiful results. Labor of love. Thanks for sharing.

[@karenmann4825]

Extremely talented, a huge inspiration, an incredibly patient Mom, and too cute. Love watching your videos. 😊

[@-gina1114]

Thank you so much for the paint wash tips you shared: color cancelling, roller, and foam brush.

[@lindaga820]

OH my gosh this piece looks so beautiful !! I absolutely love it !! I would leave the hinges just like they are. Your daughter is so sweet !

[@marlenewells9076]

That is such a pretty piece. I love it. You are so talented and patient. Adorable little girl!!!

[@Francine-ph7xy]

You’re amazing the way you bring furniture back life love the light color!

[@colleenmccarthy-evans3149]

beautiful transformation, and I like the way the hinges disappear...and you have a really great assistant, I need one! 😁

[@maryeilers5695]

I’m in love with that piece!!! It’s absolutely stunning.

[@chellegriggs]

She's so adorable, she's being so careful...😘

[@galady8632]

I appreciate your channel, your tips and your humor. This tidbit is helpful when pouring paint from a can and it costs pennies. Use painters tape or shipping tape and create a "V" across the top of the can. At the base of the "V" leave a ⅓" or so tail so the paint flow is more controlled. On gallon cans I start near the handle area and I use enough tape to have 2" width. On smaller cans it doesn't matter as much. For me clean-up is easy, just thrown tape in the trash.

[@scleo1959]

It’s so exciting when I find a new video of yours. Your work is beautiful and I learn so much. Thank you!

[@Connie4580]

I love that you're so gifted and talented and so very casual and informative! So many take themselves so seriously that I don't care to comment. Thanks again for sharing your tips and tricks

[@Artsygoons]

Your daughter is so adorable. The enter your passcode piggy bank with money in it was adorable. I love she’s working so hard for you.

[@bayouluxxeevents]

Amazing result!!! And your little girl is adorable 😍🥰

[@luisahomeoffice]

Excellent demo, thank you ✨

Wow, you might be the best at explaining and showing the process. I finally have the confidence to tackle a big stripping job. The dresser is breathtaking. Amazing job. A big wholehearted thank you.

[@wildcountrykat]

[@emmabrooker166]

Such clear instructions and great to see the whole process, beautiful result! Maybe I can tackle my lump of a chest of drawers without too much drama after all ♥️

[@kylaalaraquentes]

I love your videos. I like how you take the time to walk us newbies through the process. And your furniture pieces look great 😊

[@americanmom7911]

It's beautiful! Thank you for sharing! I wouldn't change a thing. Love the black hardware. I'm going to try my hand at refinishing an old dark stained dining table! I'll use all your tips!

[@Ben-Downlow.]

Pretty cool! Yes paint the hinges black.

[@jackielucchesi6654]

That turned out awesome!!!!!

[@thereselaskey7052]

Love the piece and your lovely assistant! Yes, would appreciate the tutorial on the hardware. Thanks

[@celinemasterson9953]

Precious little girl! Love your work, very inspirational ❤️

[@denisebotts5270]

Beautiful piece! You do good work!

[@boojam5662]

I just discovered your channel and I’m so glad I did. I have already learned after watching only 2 videos. I feel some binge watching coming on. Congratulations on your content and style.

[@theantichrist4267]

That turned out really nice 👍👍

[@cogitoergosum75]

Girl!!! This is phenomenal!!!🎉❤👏 A lot of work and detail, but the result is stunning!

[@richarddonahue3565]

Very nice transformation and thank you for the info on supplies and formulas.

[@blacksheephouse]

You are so welcome!

[@cherylpalen1112]

Lots of inspiration here! I have a TV stand that I am going to make "light"- just moved it to where I can start working on it! Now to START! Thanks for tips and tricks!

[@megs4480]

Hello! Love how this turned out! I have been trying to figure out how to get that exact look for the hardware I have on an antique dresser that I am refinishing. I would love to see the tutorial on how you aged your hardware! ❤

[@busyme4]

🙌🙌 awesome find and amazing makeover!

[@jlawhead36]

Gah! Could your daughter be any more adorable 🥰 I found myself playing it back so I could hear her voice again. 💜💛 And as always your skills made magic on this piece!! Stunning.

[@gothveggies]

Thanks for not killing the little dude in your mask

[@ColdWarVet607]

Nicely done! I'm buying an Ashley solid pine distressed coffee table that has a heavier white wash and I want to remove it to put on an antique or colonial maple or ipswich pine semi stain. I did some stain removal with kleen strip a long long time ago so this was a perfect instructional video to refresh me and more!!!! Really great stuff, I loved your use of the foam roller, foam brushes even the razor blade holder you used. Really really good stuff, loved the entire presentation Shannon. But you can't fool us. We know your adorable little daughter is the brains behind this entire operation. Thanks a bunch!!!

[@krazymammaw3040]

Yes hinges black it turned out gorgeous

[@Alicia-ig7cv]

Im in love with it! You sold me on trying thst color. Im usually against wall paint but looks like you proved me wrong

[@nancyanneberg403]

I started my painting program at a young age,too. The best teacher was just being given a paint brush and pot of paint and told to paint my bedroom floor. Started at the door where I was given my tools and worked to the window where I discovered...... That the shed porch roof could be a way for a rescue and climb down. No blame. Just: "Next time,Nancy ,start at the window and work to the door, maybe."

[@blacksheephouse]

😂😂

[@christiemills2804]

Beautiful. Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing!

[@mcm7444]

Absolutely beautiful ❤ Thank you for sharing

[@Flyredair]

Drooling.....what a fantastic labor or love that was! "Yes" on the hardware tutorial! That is what scares me the most about finishing pieces Ü

[@kathysantos2594]

Stunning!!

[@sansharps396]

Amazing it’s perfect I would leave it just the way it is because it does blend well

[@MKBinDC]

Magnificent transformation! I have this exact Drexel dresser in my living room and use it as a credenza. I bought it new 20 years ago, and it's looking a little tired. You've given me great inspiration!

[@melodiedudgeon7149]

Gorgeous!!!! Love, love love it!!!!!

[@LinYouToo]

Looks gorgeous! I prefer the hinges to blend in. Love it as it is.

[@marysmith4240]

Gorgeous! 😍

[@dianas4914]

Wow! That’s gorgeous! ❤

[@dixilh8244]

BEAUTIFUL Yes tutorial on hinges Black hinges sounds good

[@Audrey-km9in]

Incredible! You nailed this piece perfectly. Hardware is stunning & the hinges look amazing with the wood tone. Bravo, Shannon & sweet helper!

[@Ashitaka2024]

Wow you’re so talented! Just the video I was looking for

[@stacy914]

Hardware tutorial would be wonderful!! ❤

[@YanickaQuilt]

I have a "vaisellier" that looks very similar to this and it's so very dark! I was thinking of painting it but was sad about loosing the wood grain. I really love what you did

[@msan4278]

Absolutely beautiful!!

[@weekendatbernies2265]

This was Great. Learned a Lot of great tips! Getting re-inspired and ready to start a new project. And your little Angel is Amazing. Great skills! And, she now has money in her piggy bank!🥰😍😘😍

[@christinefeucht8668]

Great job. “By the way” today’s glitter girl did a great job too.

[@marvanswoodgrains]

Excellent work👍👍👍

[@rosagutierrez8112]

Beautiful 🤩

[@soniabanwell6670]

Fabulous work!

[@Arae48]

Wow you did an amazing job!

[@cathydenson5828]

I would love to see how you did the hardware. 👀This piece turned out beautiful!

[@raraavis7782]

Wow, pretty impressive. I would not have thought, that you could get the paint completely off of an intricate piece like this. I once tried stripping badly painted doors in a turn of the century appartement and it was a total mess. That paint stripper must be way stronger, then what I used! Great work and beautiful result! Hope it sells well!

[@stevenplount2567]

She is only stripping the wood stain . No paint I’m in a turn of the century apartment right now I know the feeling. The amount of poorly done paint jobs on the doors and trim and window seals needed to be stripped before repainting if I wanted quality . Project came out amazing in the end

[@raraavis7782]

@@stevenplount2567 Don't you wanna hit the people who did that with a club, though? It's not that hard, to do a decent paint job. But stripping layers of thick, carelessly applied paint is such a mess. I also believe, they used solvent based outdoor paint or something like that on mine. It was just so much harder to remove than regular, water based indoor paint. I tried stripper, I tried a heat gun, nothing would move it the way you always see in videos. NEVER again 😭😅 Isn't wood stain something that gets absorbed into the wood and can only be removed by sanding, though? That's how I always understood the term (I'm not from an English speaking country).

[@marylucrosse9133]

You did a beautiful job!! I love it I will do something similar with my dining table … Thanks so much ❤

[@marisollopez-caldwell8137]

It turned out amazing love the color and the detail this piece had makes even more beautiful 😍 u did a great job 😊

[@monaka2111]

Love this piece, look and technique!❤

[@laurietop8731]

I am stripping a dresser (like that with multiple types of wood), and came here for ideas. They are great, thanks. I just about fell off my chair when I saw the knobs you used, as they are the exact ones I have sitting here because they are the only (cheap) ones that work with odd & 2 sizes of holes! I wish I could also see what it would look like without the whitewash, as I love natural light woods too.

[@DeniseGAgirl]

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL ! PLEASE LET US KNOW HOW YOU DID THE HARDWARE !

[@lorikegley3327]

Beautiful!

[@1953lili]

Paint-washed furniture was a big thing in the 70s. My parents had retired to Florida then and all of their furniture was that “coastal look” popular there.

[@mchfurniturerestoration]

I like the fresh look! You are an inspiration for me, so full of great ideas on latest trends and your toolbox of innovative techniques is the best on KZbin. Where do you sell most of your pieces? I’m a fairly new one-person shop and I’ve just started selling on FB Marketplace and its been a nightmare, sorting through the legit buyers vs scammers vs lookers - I love restoring furniture, but the selling side, not so much!
