That’s beautiful. I have a sleigh bed. I did resist painting it for a long time because “don’t paint the wood” and it was a nice walnut stain and not at all dated, so I left it be. Now it’s scuffed and scratched up from moving numerous times so I feel justified in painting it. That baby is fixing to go navy with some moldings, white wax, and transfers!

I love your channel. This is not a criticism...just a personal preference. I personally think this waxing makes the pieces looks dirty. I know that translates to antique and vintage to most ppl. I like it when there is depth and would prefer to see this done in specific areas and not all over the bed. I think it's that I do not like the brown wax and just prefer depth be added by paint blending. Again, just what I like. I know this was for the customer and it was for them so, it doesn't really matter. It was a job well done, regardless, and I enjoyed the video...as always.

Lauren, I love your channel, but sometimes I think the original wood is sometimes so gorgeous It makes me cringe to think it would be altered so severely. I do understand you were expressly asked by your client to change it, but it is such a beautiful wood and sleigh bed that would last decades with the intrinsic beauty of the original wood. Love your tips and instruction.
@twcmaker Жыл бұрын
Wow... As a furniture restorer I'm shocked by the colour change. But if that's what the customer wanted. The Brown wax at 10:45 I was thinking I would be hating that. The bed in white looked great. On the flip side. In a few years time when it gets stripped down, they'll find some wonderful wood under that paint. So you're protecting the piece for another few years. Anyhow, found you because I've just finished repairing and restoring the period finish on a Sleigh bed. Have a Happy new year. Jamie

Love your stuff. Just had a quick question. How do you decide whether you spray paint with a spray gun or do it with a brush? Is it your sponsor that helps you decide and if you get a new spray gun from a sponsor then you use that on a product or is it a different way that you decide. I'm just trying to figure out when to spray paint and when to use a brush to paint and what I mean by spray is a spray gun and not spray paint.

Back in the 60's antiquing was a very popular technique. Many a true antique piece of furniture was subjected to the painted antiquing. In a few years much of those pieces were stripped and stained back to a more natural look. Funny how everything cycles around. You did a lovely job... regardless of my dislike of painting nice wood.

You're doing yourself a disservice by quoting people a range and then charging the top of that range. You should be giving them a higher upper cap than what you'd actually charge (e.g., $800-$1200) so when you charge them $1000, they feel like they got a bargain/good value. That makes them feel better about you and they're more likely to give referrals.
