When i first saw the French wardrobe, I immediately thought it looked like the two of you--tall and small! Just perfect!

[@lzrd8460]

You two were as cute in 2017 as you are now!. I love watching you guys. I absolutely love the color of the French wardrobe. It turned out fabulously. Great job.

I love that table. Zeb, you are so talented.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@donnaprzybilla2936]

Table turned off stunning

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@sbmedeiros11]

Aww I hadnt seen this one before! I love this. More instructional and cuteness between you two. So much more business oriented in videos now.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Hehe, sometimes it’s hard to not get burnt out. We have over 400 videos now.

[@sbmedeiros11]

@@JamiRayVintage cant imagine how exhausting/ pressure filled that is! I still watch all your videos. Ones like this is why I started with yall.

[@johnonethree]

Watching your videos and love them! A tip I learned several years ago: To remove the top veneer smoothly, place a wet towel (not too fluffy) over it, and use steam iron in high. It lifts right off.

[@JamiRayVintage]

I’m gonna have to try that!

[@Jimandterimuncy]

You two are adorable!!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Teri Muncy thanks :)

[@juliepowell6656]

Oh my gosh Jami you can see how cute you and Jeb are together even after 5 kids and about 20 yrs together!!! You never seem to get on each other's nerves ever!!! I admire you guys living and working so closely together!!! You two are truly a team!!! I love the table and since it's the last of the wood from the Clifton house I hope that the table will be yours!!! It is lovely!!! What a piece of history and love your little French closet as well!!! Great job, keep em coming!!! xoxo Julie ❤️❤️❤️

[@JamiRayVintage]

Julie Powell the table was custom. But don't worry we have Clifton wood all over our home :). We get on each other's nerves sometimes but only if we forget to eat. Being Hangry is real. We do love each other, you'd think we would get tired of each other, but we don't. We love taking trips together, that's our favorite.

[@shaylynnmullins]

I love your videos and both of your personalities!

[@JamiRayVintage]

[@arians.5549]

I love the wardrobe and table! I love that you salvaged a piece that may have eventually been thrown away due to damage. Loved the table build. Wow! Thank you for sharing your skills and ideas. I am trying to furnish my home with thrift pieces reimagined so your videos are much appreciated. Painting/refinishing is great stress relief and fun. Good for the environment to reuse. Love your personalities and how much fun you have in your videos.

[@JamiRayVintage]

+Arian S. So kind and refreshing to hear this ❤️. I would love to see what your working on. We have a Jami Ray Vintage Group on FB where we share projects.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Kandace Espinoza thanks were just trying to keep it fun.

[@mandybewkes5300]

There are skeleton keys that will work for the lock, I had the same issue. The table is also amazing, wish I lived closer would buy that. Loving the daily video's.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Mandy BEWKES do all skeleton keys work the same? I have another piece I need to order s key for

[@jamiebaronet9949]

I totally understood clippy-do and rotary sander. Hahaha. The very first thing that came to mind when Zeb lined up the 24 curvy do dads was how fantastic they would be as shelf brackets. I also think the large corbels could be made into fantastic wall sconces ... in lieu of bedside lamps perhaps or floor lamps. Both pieces are lovely!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Jamie Baronet we have similar corbels on each side of our. We holding up our lights :). We think alike.

[@mikeandsandybroderick4438]

LOVE you guys and your videos!!! The table and wardrobe is GORGEOUS!!!

[@kimjensen717]

Lol! Seems we have the same language Jamie. Clicky doo, doo hickie, rotater instead of orbital :) I call it “creative girl talk”!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Ha! I never know what things are called. I can’t keep that stuff in my brain! 😂

[@mrs.mcnamara1669]

[@evek8220]

Love the table💞good job on the antique wardrobe. Would have been so nice if he could have kept the lock in. But it is yours not mine😀💞

[@junegutierres450]

Zeb, the table was amazing! And as usual, Jami, the french furniture was beautiful. What's this about doing a fixer upper? Sounds like something you two could easily do.

[@mandybewkes5300]

HI I think all Skelton keys do work. Mine are for my British Furniture.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Awesome! I'll have to look into it.

[@CahliaShay]

Love you guys but I can't believe you took the locking mechanism off!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Hehe, in retrospect I should have just put a door clasp on it and left it alone. -Zeb

[@MJ-cp8nc]

❤️

[@quimbycrew]

I love watching your vlogs and so excited that you're doing them so often now! (my hubby says I'm watching furniture porn 😅) also would you do a vlog explaining the differences in sanders? I stood staring clueless at the sanders in home depot literally yesterday trying to figure out if I needed a mouse sander or belt sander (I already have a cheap round one from harbor freight and a square Makita my dad passed down)

[@JamiRayVintage]

quimbycrew I use my black and decker orbital most often. For jobs that I need to take down material fast I use my belt and follow up with my orbital. I pretty much use those twi

[@quimbycrew]

Jami Ray Vintage thanks so much! What brand/model do you recommend for a belt sander?

[@JamiRayVintage]

quimbycrew I use a black and decker orbital which is round and we have a ryobi belt sander. Mostly because of cost. If we could afford the more expensive ones we might choose different. But the ones we have, have held up great.

[@rneustel388]

I loved this video, and as it's the first one I've seen of yours, I have to say, "Y'all are so dang cute!" That table is gorgeous and such a unique piece with the beautiful, one-of-a-kind wood. Couldn't you have added the clicky-does to the door the locking mechanism was on so you could leave the Stella Paris lock? If I was buying that piece as an authentic French antique, I would have definitely wanted the lock to be intact.

[@JamiRayVintage]

In retrospect I should have done that. I was working without adult supervision lol. Thanks for watching! -Zeb

[@rneustel388]

+Jamie Ray Vintage Haha I get ya!

[@pepilopez9196]

Guauu .....bonita . preciosa

[@JamiRayVintage]

Pepi Lopez gracias.

[@judiyoung3767]

Hey y'all! What kind of home cheap reasonably priced spray painter would you suggest? One that doesn't require a compressor....you know what I'm asking? Lol. Love this piece!!! Thanks for sharing! ..

[@JamiRayVintage]

judi young home right is pretty good. I think it's in the $80 range

[@zanussi4381]

Are you in Massachusetts? I love your videos and the staff you hand made is amazing!

[@JamiRayVintage]

ZANUSSI no I am in Utah. I will be teaching at a diy boot camp next week in Delaware and a week from Saturday we will have a marketplace open to the public. facebook.com/events/885614114941246/?ti=icl

[@ginamaria2579]

Love everything, how much is the table ?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Gina Diefenbach that table was custom. It was $595

[@debbieadair4920]

If I can only afford ONE sander to start with, which one should I buy? I have very bad arthritis in my hands. I’m thinking what is called a Palm Sander??? What do you think?

[@debbieadair4920]

Orbital sander? Belt sander??

[@JamiRayVintage]

Orbital sander. We use a dewalt 3 amp orbital sander that has been really good.

[@gingerlynnjohnson7854]

How long did it take you to perfect your use of distressing with the orbital sander? I am have trouble with swirls. Got sander from Harbor Freight.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Once I started using 220 grit sand paper that help a lot.

[@aslidamedina7164]

Im love your work! What type/brand of compressor do you use?

[@JamiRayVintage]

aslida medina 50gal husky. It's a beast. We used an 8 gal for a long time

[@aslidamedina7164]

Jami Ray Vintage Thank you! I have seen most of your videos.thanks for all the tips you give us ... we just bought our first home and are looking forward on doing out DIY projects. I would love to see a video of you and you husband explaining on how to use a compressor for people like me that are planning on getting one for the first time. How do you know which compressor to buy and how to properly use it i loved the video you made about the spray Gun which i learned a lot.

[@karenyounger2314]

The table is awesome but there is so many pieces with the corbel work, it takes away from the design...a bit more simplified would bring out 'functional elegance' needed to complement this wood.

[@leticiagonzales8820]

Hello what did you use for top off the beautiful table?sorry I’m not good in English 😕

[@JamiRayVintage]

What did we use to seal it?

[@leticiagonzales8820]

Yes

[@DenieceBlaskoDesigns]

Jamie. How many pounds of PSI is your air compressor?

[@JamiRayVintage]

We run 55-60 psi when spraying Chalk type paints. If you find your mixture is a little thick it’s ok to bump the pressure up a little. Since the paints are flat with no sheen it won’t matter if it mists a little.

[@debisusan4338]

Could have done better on the knobs! Didn't care for the white.

[@630sunshine]

What kind of primer did you use before you painted the cabinet? Also, love the table!! Thanks

[@JamiRayVintage]

I used the color blue green by Fairy Chalk Mother. No priming necessary on this piece. I usually only prime a piece if I’m going with a white color because it takes less paint and primer is cheaper. I typically use Fairy Chalk Mother High Bond Primer if I prime.

[@630sunshine]

Jami Ray Vintage thank you!!

[@julesjam215]

She should have paid you to refinish it and kept it.

[@AcornHillHomestead]

Great projects. Well done!!!!! A girl after my own heart. Goin to work at home without a bra! Thats the dream job. Lol

[@JamiRayVintage]

Haha! Yeah. Everyday is casual Friday around here! 😂

[@santinabaker1484]

Do you seal your chalk paint with wax or poly acrylic?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Both, but typically we use polycrylic from Minwax* in satin because it’s so easy to spray with our air compressor.

[@ruby-vi7zy]

What are you guys putting on the wood table top? Name of the coat?

[@JamiRayVintage]

We sealed the top of the table in polycrylic in Satin sheen.

[@ruby-vi7zy]

is that what was being brushed on

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yes

[@BabyfaceGaming101]

You mean wardrobe...not dresser...lol

[@lolitabonita08]

i do not thing that is from France nor an antique antique...why...hinges are modern...in antique furniture they used to use real wood all over the place...they never used playwood for shelves or 2x4 as feet.. but still very beautiful piece and with your magic it will look amazing...

[@julesjam215]

Hey, gotta love on your man until the end of time. The more like high school days the more exciting your love affair will be. I’m 45 now, and my husband and I enjoy every moment. Wait till you empty nest, it’s like you’re dating all over again.
