Thanks! I also love that little cabinet so much more with the feet.

You gotta paint thst shelf you put in the hall. It sticks out like a sore thumb with all the beautiful shabby furniture.

[@lyricwritertoo]

You’ve inspired me so much I bought supplies yesterday to work on some of my own things. Paint, poly, things to make stencils. I like that you show the little tricks and add ons. Bunn feet, how you paint the lip of the drawer.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Fun! Paint al the things! 😊❤️❤️

The sound on this vid is awesome!

Oh good!

perfect opportunity to paint those shelves.. )

[@jmadsen6118]

Love the work-arounds, fixes, modifications, etc. in detail. I've often passed by a great piece because I didn't know how to repair it, or something was not right and I didn't have the knowledge to make it right. Love seeing the 2nd part of the Saturday night Live thrifting hauls and all the particulars that you don't have time for on Saturday night. You guys are great!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! We thought it would be fun to show the “Monday” behind the scenes look. 😊

[@amyjo1293]

Wow

[@tfntexas]

Cool to see you do so many things at once! Thanks for the video!

Sometimes it gets crazy around here! 😂😂

What does the neighbor say when you paint on your driveway!! Lol you always make things look easy!! Thanks!

[@JamiRayVintage]

They say, “hey let me grab this piece I need painted.” Lol.

[@amymitchell7715]

This was the best best video! I love your Saturday night videos but I really really like this style of video where you're doing multiple pieces! This video really helped me a lot and gave me really good direction. And you guys are just so sweet together. You guys were made for each other!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! Glad it helped. ❤️❤️

You guys do a great job - everything looks so nice. You make it look fun and easy to do but it's probably taken you years to perfect. I love your channel. All the best. 😉

[@JamiRayVintage]

It doesn’t always go smoothly lol. But we do have several tools that make the work easier and if we run into an issue like bleed through or damage on a piece of furniture we’ve usually got the fix handy. ❤️❤️

[@JamiRayVintage]

Awww, thank you! ❤️❤️

[@katherinelsullivan2067]

I just came across your video. I had to pause it when it came to the mirror. I have that same mirror in my foyer and was just thinking two days ago that I should paint it. I've never seen another one like it until just now. Showed my husband and he said, "Wow that looks great, you should paint it." lol Guess its getting painted when it warms up here in upstate NY. FYI, I have 4 real estate families / clients that moved to Lehi in the past 2 years.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Fun! Would love to see your mirror when you paint it. 😊

[@michellek2012]

Looks great guys! Good job😀

[@melissadavis9743]

I just love you two! I am in the process of renting a 10 x 10 space in an antique/collectible shop to sell vintage items and painted furniture and I have learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing all of your "secrets" and techniques. I would love if you could share more details about how you arrive at a price for items. I am struggling with how to calculate a "fair" price without asking too much or too little. Especially because I care about doing a quality job.

[@JamiRayVintage]

[@lynetteeaster1541]

Oh man I love that hutch top Zeb was working on that turned out gorgeous!!!! Thumbs Up!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! I hope it sells now that it’s been updated. 😊

[@sherripierson8407]

I watch your videos all the time. I just love everything I've seen so far and it gave me the courage to start doing a few pieces myself. You make it look so easy...but so far for me it hasn't been!!! The last piece I did was sanded, cleaned had a good coat of primer and I actually like the way my first color blend turned out BUT I noticed my paint does not have good adhesion! Grrr...I was going to sand and seal the piece but now I'm afraid that even a light sanding would remove too much. I'm sorry this has been such a lengthy comment. I could use some advice. I did use latex paint that I just had on hand. I didn't want to spend too much before I found out if I had any skill at all!

[@vesnastrugar7770]

Nice!!!

[@Gray_Day_Flower_Farm]

I just found you guys this weekend and love what you are doing, soooo...I picked up a dresser for my home and now I'm stuck trying to figure out what color to paint it, LOL! SMH I love everything you do.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Oooh! Picking the color is the fun part! ❤️❤️

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

Love the color choice. Minty green. ?

[@lildavis7579]

Love the 2 tall lamp video, chippy goodness ,,,,tho I would have used really raw edge linen fabric for those shades, the satin lampshades way wrong texture and is shiny, just my opinion

[@spiveylas]

I love the little brown suitcase you have for sale in this video! Is it still available?

[@hazell.705]

Can you give us the prices you're asking on the new pieces you just painted? And what kind of respirator is that? What's it called? Is that Harbor Freight or amazon? LOVE the shop makeovers the best!! Everything is just adorable!

[@JamiRayVintage]

We’re selling the two dressers for $165.00 each, the little ornate side table is $75.00 and the white cabinet is $195.00.

[@JamiRayVintage]

The respirator the 3M 6000 series with N95 filters.

[@lorif4274]

What colors are selling best for you? I love the pinks and greens and wonder how they are trending.

[@JamiRayVintage]

They sell great in my area. I used to mostly paint shades of white but my shop only has 3 larger pieces of furniture that are white right now. Everything else is varying shades of blues and greens and pinks right now.

[@pamelacass8703]

Hi. Love your videos! What do you clean furniture with? Mineral spirits or something more natural?

[@JamiRayVintage]

I use dawn dish soap and hot water 90% of the time.

[@bernadineroyal6656]

Hi, Jamie, you may have been asked this question a million times, how do you start up a small business like yours..? I would love to do something like your shop but on a small scale, for the summer/ fall time. Mostly tourist in the area and maybe a few locals may visit. I live in a very small area and not many people are into buying big items but I love to paint and re purpose items I find. How big is your shop, the square footage? Love all your projects and how they come out. Have a great week.❤️🤗🇨🇦

[@JamiRayVintage]

So, I rent space at Molly’s Forget Me Not Boutique and pay a small commission on all sales. The space is about 10x20’. I used to sale everything out of my home off Facebook. This video may help you get started. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mImrqqJ-gLeenLM

[@goose7574]

@jamirayvintage Hello again! At 0:02 seconds in, on the right side of the screen, what color pink did you use for the small chest of drawers that you have painted pink?

[@JamiRayVintage]

It’s painted with a blend of petticoat pink and white swan.

[@goose7574]

@@JamiRayVintage Okay thank you

[@lydiafitz]

Great job!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@suemount6042]

Do you wash down or sand before you spray? That shaped mirror looks amazing

[@JamiRayVintage]

Just wash down with dawn dish soap and water. We rarely have an issue bad enough that needs sanded and the paint doesn’t require sanding to stick. 😊

[@bettysmith3335]

Beautiful work. You are both very talented. Where is your shop? Do you sell online, if so , how can you be contacted?

[@tambij]

Do you guys paint furniture for your customers. That way I don’t have to invest in a paint sprayer!! 😏

[@susiehoyle6113]

How do you price items for retail store, do you have a formula?

[@krissymichele]

I’m sure you guys have a pretty high quality control. But just curious if you’ve ever ran into a piece with mold on it. If so, what methods/precautions did you take? I’m currently restoring a 75+ year old bureau, that’s been in my family for ages and I’ve noticed some mold spots on the inside. 😩 At this point, I’m not sure what the heck to do. I’d love to make it work if I can. But not sure how. I did purchase a mold microbial, which is supposed to kill existing mold and prevent it from growing further. I also plan on sanding down the areas I’m able to reach. But I’m wondering if there’s also some sort of sealant I should use? I’d like to keep the natural wood color on the inside. But if Kills would be a better option. I have no qualms spraying the inside white. Any tips would greatly be appreciated! I also wanted to give you an update on my gel staining project... I ended up finishing it. But still not totally pleased. I did end up using the same stain on a different type of wood and holy cow!!... What a difference! It came out perfect!! I think the maple was definitely less forgiving that this other type of wood, as it was much more porous and not as smooth. I’m glad I did that though. Otherwise, I don’t think I would of purchased it again. Loooove this vid btw AND the colors used!!...Sooooo purdy!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Oh man! Mold is tricky. We use bleach, respirators and a scrub brush to get what will come off. Careful not to breath any of that in. I would use zinnser shellac to lock in any stains. Might take 2-3 coats. Then paint over it whatever color you want.

[@krissymichele]

I’m so relieved that you were going to tell me to toss it! The first thing I did, was scrub w/ bleach (literally using a toothbrush in those hard to reach areas) and I have Zinsser Shellac right on hand, so this is great news! I think I’m going to just spray the Shellac and leave it. 😬 Hope that’s ok to do. I’d rather not paint the inside of the bureau, if I don’t have to. Thanks again Jami! You guys are my everything! Seriously I’m so hooked! You need to have your own tv show!

[@JamiRayVintage]

[@malghd751]

You should just cover the glass with tape

[@sharonstatser3947]

Where do you store your stuff BEFORE you take it to the store or sell it? In your garage or do you have a separate storage space?

[@JamiRayVintage]

We have pretty decent turn over at the shop. It stays in the garage until it’s ready for repairs and paint and once painted we take it to the shop space.

[@sharonstatser3947]

@@JamiRayVintage Thanks! That's awesome yall have such a quick turnover! Without giving numbers, unless you are comfortable with that, do you and Zeb live off of the furniture biz?

[@LLWW]

Do you have any videos for how you found out that your area was a good area to sell stuff like this in? Or like how to get started doing something like this. I'm in NC and I'd love to do this. I'm not sure if my area would be interested in it enough for me to sell and make a profit.

[@JamiRayVintage]

I started painting for myself, then a few friends, then I painted a few things and sold them on Facebook yard sale pages, then people started contacting me to do custom work and it just snow balled from there. Here’s a video I made that may help you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mImrqqJ-gLeenLM

Just wondering...why do you guys paint the hinges? Doesn't the paint eventually chip/rub off every time the doors open? Have you found a way to prevent that??? Love your upcycles though! GREAT eye!! ❤

[@JamiRayVintage]

It does eventually chip off and crack which is what we’re going for. 😊 most of your old painted furniture has several coats of different colored paints on the hinges.
