Follow me on Instagram: urlgeni.us/instagram/Lemons Follow Wagner on Instagram: instagram.com/wagnerspraytech/ Make sure you are subscribed to this channel! Let me know what project you would LOVE this spray tent for below! *Winners will be notified next Saturday!**

[@lyndashirley1327]

Can’t wait to win. 66 years old and never had a spray tent so never used a sprayer. I have the Wagner sprayer still in the box. Just need the tent.

[@marisolcarter3733]

I would use it to do my table n keep the wood floor from paint

[@kathywest7380]

I just bought a wagner 3500 and have only used the larger head so far. Looking forward to starting on updating much of my own furniture. A spray tent in my garage is a must!!!😊

[@hollii9124]

Would love to have the spray tent in my garage to refinish a dining table. With the last projects. I've been putting plastic tarps on the floor and hanging them from the garage door rails. 😅

[@addison9212]

Just bought a paint sprayer and I would use it to spray my dining room chairs😊

[@sforbis2001]

I lost my husband a year ago to stage 4 metastatic bladder cancer. Since then I have been thrifting for resale via marketplace and I also flip furniture. I would like to do more of that because you make a bigger profit than selling small thrifted items. The spray tent would allow me to paint furniture pieces without going outside and without “painting” my garage floor. Trying to make up for an income lost as well as taking care of my 88 year old mother who lives with me has been a challenge. But I’m not a quitter and I’m definitely a survivor. Thank you for your consideration.

[@joannecooper4592]

I love the look you gave to these pieces of furniture! The only thing I would do different is to take the drawers out to do the glaze so that the side pieces have lines going straight up and down.

[@jeanreynolds1772]

I f really like that style finish🎉

[@beastengo8127]

Thank you so much for demonstrating this technique so clearly. I’ve been wanting yo learn how to do this so your video was perfect. The final product is gorgeous! Thanks

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dechinta]

I am disabled, but refinishing furniture is something I could do to help survive in this economy. I am very slowly gathering equipment so that I can refinish furniture again because it used to be so much fun. The tent would help me to keep my precious dog from breathing in paint fumes and sprays as he always likes to be closeby....which is where I want him! Plus, it would help keep paint from getting on anything important. I currently sell books on Ebay, but refinishing furniture would be soo much more profitable and would give me back the joy of doing something creative. Thank you!

[@TheKeeferHomestead]

The wagner tent would help when spraying in my carport!

[@zacharycampbell4755]

Love this pottery barn look!! I've used the " Smoked " glaze and the " Aged "glaze, which is a gold tint. You can use them together, and it looks great. I apply a lot of it and let it sit for about 20-25 minutes before I start working with the deck brush and the broom. I have also used the wood graining tool, and it works great if you have it flipped in a horizontal position. Leave the big puddles, and it will dry flat, and it is beautiful. The trick to using the wood grain tool is letting it get tacky. If it spreads, it's not ready yet. If it drags on you, just add a little more glaze, and it will loosen up again. Kara, I would absolutely love to win "your" tent specifically, just because I'm a huge fan!! 😅

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

yes! I have seen those being used! I'll have to try that next time. I have it already on hand! Thanks for watching!

[@tamicascio3966]

Great tutorial. Lots of info. Wish I saw this yesterday before I started on my nightstand. Thank u

[@jrbaskind]

Wow! They really look like natural wood grain! Really attractive!

[@Greta_Green]

My husband and I can’t afford new furniture so I’ve been learning how to paint what we have. I learn so much from watching you and others! I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a painting tent.

[@monicalejeune9105]

Omg I didn’t know about the liners 🙌

[@redesignedbynina]

I think you nailed the pottery barn look. I think it's a nice way to give a piece a wooden look when real wood can't be used. I'd love to have the tent as I'm a furniture refinisher and artist myself and to make my life easier, I'd like to spray the paint and topcoat so my work can be more profitable and I can spend more time with my two little kids.

[@TwiggyGrant1]

I liked this look. I also liked a different product Kara used on a different project, that mimicked wood grain. The paint had wood particles in it and utilized a grain tool. It actually mimicked an oak grain really well. A very different look from this but very beautiful. She’s always got the latest products to demo for us!

[@lesusan3338]

Congratulations on reaching this milestone! I have a desk for my son’s room that needs to be painted. The tent would be very helpful.

[@janeterhart3003]

Love ths Sunday tea but the contrast of the licorice ids stunning

[@peggywheeler4848]

I’ve been giving life to older pieces of furniture for years but am afraid of using a sprayer. You make it look so easy’. I’d love to try the Wagner sprayer and be able to save more furniture from being tossed out! Thank you for sharing all of your very helpful videos!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

You can do it! Thanks for watching!

[@WatchMomFlip]

You definitely can do it!! It makes it so much easier and faster!! 😊

[@tinagoodnight7736]

I'm getting ready to retire. Used to refinish furniture many years ago and would like to pick it up again since I will have more time. A spray tent would help me sell the idea of using the garage as a workshop. ❤

[@cleo1034]

As a Widow, I am moving into a 55+ Community (where my best friend also lives)! As a new beginning, I have purchased some items from Facebook Marketplace, and I can’t wait to make them “my own!” One of those tents would make the transformations so much easier! 🙂

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@TwiggyGrant1]

Having a Wagner Spray Tech spray tent would enable me to use our family garage to create and transform reclaimed, repurposed furnishings to be able to help support my family. I’m excited about the possibilities! As a family of 4 we just can’t allocate our entire garage to painting and refinishing, either during the cold or summer months! The Wagner Spray Tent allows you to safely spray paint and finishes on your projects without worrying that your entire garage will get covered in it -but also it keeps your painted projects protected from dust and debris from the active life your family leads that also shares the garage space.

[@PamVarnell-gq6kq]

I would LOVE to have that spray tent for a 1940s china cabinet I'm procrastinating on because I don't have a spray tent.

[@katiathompson2818]

I'd absolutely love to use this in my apartment garage for my first flip. I plan doing my 2 wooden file cabinets.

[@amyparker5686]

I have a small space and with winter coming, this will allow me to move my painting inside.

[@summercahoon5116]

I love watching your videos. I teach at middle school and one of my classes is teaching carpentry to our 6th graders. I am always looking for new ways of teaching them something valuable and a life skill they can use later on. Last year we redid a bench that was original to the school when it first was built, and the kids loved it so much I want to give them the opportunity to take other pieces and refinish them too. This spray tent would be great in allowing us to spray indoors without worrying about overspray. Keep doing what your doing; you are a big inspiration in creativity to all diyers.

[@jenniferstrauss2092]

I am getting ready to repaint a cabinet to be used as a media cabinet/litter box hider. I have changed our colors since mold remediation 🙄

[@jo-annegannon8322]

The tent would be awesome to redo my kitchen chairs that came out poor due to a windstorm arising this past summer when I was spraying them outside. Thank you for demonstrating the use of the Wagner sprayer, as gave me tips for how to use properly as well next time.

[@debracrews5216]

I’m new to flipping and reupholstering small chairs. The tent would help so much because I have fur babies…I learn so much from your channel…thank your for sharing your expertise!

[@Audrey-km9in]

Bravo, Kara! Another home run. Hardware is fabulous! Thank you for the give away! I just moved my very young 83 year old Mom to my neighborhood. Her new and old decor items need an update. Time for color! I would LOVE to have a Wagner Spray Tent to allow me to work in the garage throughout the winter. xo

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Awww so sweet! Thanks for watching

[@laklinlee]

Love the nightstands. My project is my Mid Century modern desk from childhood, a gift from my grandparents. It needed some repairs and now it’s ready for paint. I’m just learning to spray paint and and a tent would save the garage.

[@missgirly1178]

I have been dabbling with painting old furniture for a couple of years. I have been wanting to tackle my bedroom furniture, take it from its 80’s look to something like you are doing here which looks fabulous! A tent has been on my wish list for awhile. Thanks for your awesome videos!!!

[@themimilife]

I had followed you here and on instagram for quite awhile. I am now following Wagner. I would be so excited to get this. I have started refinishing furniture and I love seeing things transformed. Such satisfaction. Thank you for this giveaway opportunity.

[@cynthiaperry7165]

I am a furniture flipper and artist.. i am currently working in our barn. I am grateful for the space however, the dust is a serious problem while trying to paint. The spray tent would certainly help me create a much nicer product. I love your channel. Thank you for all the inspiration and helpful techniques to keep me ahead of the fast changing trends.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!

[@christinefoley9028]

[@tristavalentour7575]

I didn’t think I was going to like these…so glad you proved me wrong! Those came out great!!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Glad you liked it!!

[@smit3499]

I love refinishing furniture and have been wanting a spray tent for those windy days. I would love to have this spray tent.

[@hempessentialwellness8814]

Right on the trends with that look, I hope the market will not be saturated about this look and the grasscloth faux because I love them soo much and they are so fun to achieve. Nice spray tent, I'll loove to have one for my garage to paint furniture. Thanks for sharing.

[@annagardner2000]

I have a bunch of furniture that needs to be refinished to furnish my new house. Ive been collecting supplies, but I still need a spray tent.

Oh my gosh!!! Turned out so amazing. You never cease to amaze us.

[@donnamullins2089]

Great job. Love all the little touches.

[@tomandlisamckibbin3761]

I have been inspired by you and a few others to try my hand at furniture flipping. I live in breezy northern Arizona. My recent project has been delayed many days because of not having a place to work on my project. Thank you for your inspiration.

[@JennyYeager-l4c]

I’m new to furniture restoration. I would like to paint my first project in a Wagner tent. My first project is restoring my son’s childhood NASCAR dresser and bed frame.

[@GailGodfrey-sh5hq]

Ever since I watched your personal diningroom set makeover, I have been wanting to try it! I finally found a similar set and now all I need is the Wagner tent to start spraying all those chairs! I plan on using black so the tent should be great for that!

[@sck5397]

This was so fun to watch! Very relaxing! That tent would be great to use in my small garage!

[@suzannedavis494]

The nightstands turned out beautifully! My husband and I are starting to restore and flip furniture to sell. With the change of seasons, we’re going to need to paint in the garage. This spray tent would be wonderful to save our garage floors! Thanks for the great giveaway!

[@susanreed5490]

I love how these turned out! Getting ready to do my first Pottery Barn finish and got some good tips from this video. Thanks! :)

[@kimjensen9967]

I flip furniture as well & in the winter in Minnesota I need to spray indoors. The paint shelter would be ideal! Love your channel! Plz keep new videos coming :)

[@debbiemccain6956]

As a retired school teacher just starting in the furniture refurb game I am trying to accumulate all the recommended equipment to do things the right way. This would be a huge asset! Thanks for all your pointers and advice you have been so helpful!

That's a good point. I guess if I'm going to try this, I need to try it the right way!

Beautiful work on the nightstands, love watching videos. Love tent so it won’t mess up my garage. Thanks.

I am just starting out as a furniture flipper to earn extra money as a retiree. I have refinished my own furniture for years. I have very little yard and only my garage for a workshop. I need to be able to protect my garage from the spray. Love your channel!

[@mecrat]

I need to paint my coffee table and bookshelves. The tent and spray gun would be nice!

[@rockshot100]

Great job, LL. Those knobs are perfect. I just finished a cabinet with the same base color and the coco java glaze. I used a wood graining tool first over the glaze then did the brushing. I taped off the vertical sections, then had to wait for that to dry to then tape off the glazed sections so I could have the grain going in the opposite direction. It took forever just because of all the waiting. 👍 I saw somebody do this but did a final drybrush of a light color, which I don't think is needed unless you want a driftwood look to it. Almost forgot to mention I did a few "fly specks" that I do like, and are very easy to do. I saw Trena rub the topcoat with a scotchbrite and floor wax which give it a hand rubbed sheen.

[@notmichelle123]

I have 3 projects I love this for. 2 dressers and a coffee table. I just picked up a Wagner paint sprayer and haven’t even used it yet. I’m dying to try it out 😊

[@dannyk9260]

My wife and I have been wanting one of those spray tents! It would definitely get a lot of use at our house!

[@angielombard1944]

Would like to have it to use when spray painting the kitchen cabinets. I followed your directions for entering. 😊

[@mayraalvarez4672]

I'm just beginning, just got my first piece of furniture. I have to do this outdoors in the hot Florida sun so this would be great to have. I'm a full time caretaker that has found something that will help my mental health as I am caring for my grandmother and mother in law with dementia & Parkinson's but wouldn't have it any other way. Love watching your videos and the beautiful work you do. God bless you.

[@Jennifr1966]

Anyways, are you going to use a sprayer like hers? I'm getting started soon. Don't have a furniture piece yet.

[@mayraalvarez4672]

@@Jennifr1966 I would like to get one.

[@JoLanda-q2f]

I’m just starting out. I love learning from you. There is so much that I never knew went into flipping furniture, including expenses! Because of you, I’m starting to flip furniture to help with bills. The tent would be great to have and help me out with expenses. And if I don’t win, it’s ok, because I already won just being able to learn from you. 🤗

[@WendyThomas-z3q]

My husband has inherited a full set of 1920 waterfall bedroom set and I am dying to refinish it. You have inspired me 😊

I have several night stands I would like to paint. I have never painted furniture before but I love your videos and am inspired to try. I bought a couple of inexpensive tables on test on. They are small but solid wood so hopefully if they come out good the first time, they are durable to try again. Thank you for your time and effort. All the best, Hazel

Your nightstands turned out beautiful. Thank you for the many different technique ideas. I love refinishing creatively and I’m getting ready to refinish our bedroom set to a more modern look. The Wagner sprayer and tent would make this project so much easier and faster since I don’t have the space to spray indoors. Thanks and have a great week!

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!!

So excited to see this video. I have 2 night stands I plan to attempt this pottery barn dupe with as well. I also own the flexio 3500. Im in desperate need of wagners spray tent as my garage is multi purpose and the dust and overspray has become a nightmare.

[@Elilula23]

I have just gotten into revamping old furniture at home since things have become so expensive and would love this tent for all the upcycling projects I am working on. I'm working on a 6 chair dining table set, a bar table, and a night stand. 🙂

[@kristimansur3214]

Thank you for the great content and the awesome give away, I am just learning how to do furniture. so watching your channel has helped a lot. . I would love to have a Spray tent! We rent our home so I can only paint on days I can paint outside. Having the Spray tent would mean I can paint inside and not worry about getting paint in the garage.

[@carolantezana936]

Picked up a Wagner sprayer a couple of months ago but haven't used it yet. Waiting for a tent.😀

[@sharonwilder5975]

No Matter how many of these makeovers I watch I always learn something new. I look at a lot of furniture in catalogs and stores but forgot abt Pottery Barn. You seem like such a pleasant person it's calming to watch you do your craft. I'm disabled but trying to make some extra money somehow and use to do this years ago. Just need help getting these pieces home. Any extra help would greatly be appreciated so the tent would be greatly appreciated.😊

[@DecFirefly1210]

Hey, nice looking night stands. As for the paint tent, I’ve my maiden piece sitting unfinished bc I moved back to NC & have no place to paint except LR or kitchen. That tent would make it possible and easier for spray or brush.

You truly are a talented person, what a fantastic finish.

I have been wanting to try this look on two nightstands I picked up. Could definitely use these against the wind and direct sun of north Texas when painting! Enjoy ur videos!

[@lk-ol2jt]

If I were to be lucky enough to win one of the spray tents, it couldn't come at a better time. Our new house is almost done, and I've been acquiring free and cheap pieces that I plan to repurpose when we get moved in. We don't have a garage where we've been living, so all the furniture has been in storage. I would HATE to mess up our new garage floor, so a tent would be fantastic.

[@Cashflowladyt]

You have inspired me to start a new hobby. I visit the antique shops in my neighborhood and repaint them, but I recently ran across your videos and am inspired on a whole new level. Keep up the excellent work and being inspirational

[@sandynosich364]

I was laid off in July and apparently I am now overqualified and to old for anyone to hire me now. I have always wanted to flip furniture and I decided that now is the time. Winning the tent would be one less expense with my start up costs.

[@ceceliafielding4034]

I’d love to have these great products to help jumpstart my flagging furniture flips! I’ve become discouraged by my limited space and my lack of direction. I could really use something invigorating, and this would do the trick! Thanks for your always encouraging flips! I’m glad I found you! ❤️

[@TwiggyGrant1]

I’ve got a dining set (I know -so much work to do chairs!) to do that I’m kind of excited to get started and it would be so awesome to have a Wagner Spray Tent to keep them safe from debris while I’m working on them -my family is tired of not being allowed to open the garage while I’m waiting for polyurethane to dry & cure! The armor seal coating I use from General Finishes takes days to dry between coats. I’ve used Wagner spray systems for 30 years and they are the best so I imagine their Spray Tent is the best quality too. I still have that first Wagner I use for paint.😊

[@projectsbypeggy9072]

I would love to have a paint tent! I don't have a garage so all my painting has to be done outside. My yard is full of trees so it can be a hassle to get a nice finish. I have just started learning to use a paint sprayer so a tent would be an awesome addition. Love the way this project turned out! Have a Blessed week ahead.

I love the color, paint job and the knobs! I just got myself this Wagner sprayer. I haven't been brave enough to use it yet but it seems easy. I sure can use a tent as I have a very small shed where I paint and could set it up outside on the grass. I have a couple dressers that need makeover desperately. This tent sure can come real handy!😁😉

[@stanleysmith8984]

I have an old run-down barn that I use for woodworking and fixing furniture. Sure, could use a tent as the mosquitos and sand keep messing up my work. If I had a tent, it would make things a little safer. Summer heat took a real tole. on my work, I also live in Texas. Had to deal with the stain and paint blistering and bubbling. Perhaps, if I had a tent and a spray rig, I could control the dust, get the job done better and faster. At this time, I have two dressers that need to be redone. Got flooded out last night, so I guess I will start in a couple days. Bridge washed out just down the road, so I can't get anywhere for a few days. Thanks for your inspiring channel.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

wow! hope you are all ok! Best wishes to you and thanks so much for watching!

[@jenniehawkins9998]

A spray tent would be a great value for me. Love to flip, but I am limited as I live in an apartment. I could use the spray tent without concern of getting paint where I shouldn't.

I just moved into a new studio space for my art gallery employees and I to use for glass art, painting, ceramics, furniture makeovers ... it's so they can make extra money to afford to live in Colorado. I have picked up a few pieces of furniture lately, either on the side of the road (old Drexel coffee table), or in a Habitat for Humanity resale store. It's snowing today, and sometimes the squirrels are throwing pinecones at me outside. It's a short season for painting outside in the Colorado mountains. I've been thinking about that tent since you showed it in another video!
