Now who would give you a thumbs down? You are awesome girl!! The paint finish looked beautiful! Can’t wait to try it! The piece turned out really beautiful! Thank you for the time you spend teaching different techniques! I know you have helped me! And Thank You for you and your Husbands Service to our Country! I’m the Wife of an Air Force Veteran. He did 20+ years, I was by his side for the last 16. When he retired I actually was given retirement papers and a Thank You for my service. I was so glad they recognize the spouses, because it’s a commitment! It’s not for everyone, but for us who love it, it’s awesome! So Thank You both, and I LOVE your painting videos!! ♥️🇺🇸

Ya know Kim, who knows lol people always have negative things to say but those aren't my people, YOU ARE MY PEOPLE :) thank you and your husband for your service!!! it's a wild ride sin't it? we will be done in a few years, my kids are young enough that we can settle for them and not move them anymore!! thank you so much for all of your love ❤️❤️❤️

It wasn't until I started watching you, Katie Scott and Christina Muscari that I could just take off the random accents on pieces. It has forever changed my life and the way I view furniture! I am not a furniture craftsman, so I had no idea what "the process" was when building furniture so I didn't know most of those things could be removed! Love it.

[@BellaRenovare]

oooh yay!!! I am so glad we could help you so you can transform your furniture!!! At first it can be intimidating not knowing what is what ya know?

Great tutorial! So often we see only pieces that people just clean and paint. It was good to see you use stripper and then to describe how you have to use mineral spirits after the stripper. My mom painted her cedar chest years ago. I have no idea what kind of paint. It is avocado green of course. Painted in the 70’s. Not sure if I will have to strip, but at least I know how to do it if I need to. Question ... if the paint job is a pretty good one, would you paint over it not knowing what paint was used by my Mom??? I have been seeing all kinds of videos using Silk Paint. Looking forward to its release in the US. We had dinner with friends last night. Two of the couples used to live in Cheyenne!

[@BellaRenovare]

Oooo I miss Cheyenne!!!!!! For the painting over question....yes of course, if the paint job is good give it a good clean a light scuff sand NOTHING crazy and paint over it :) You are going to LOVE SILK, retailers are signing up starting in December for the US so it is coming soon!! 💕💕💕

I love this piece! I am considering buying some really nice dining chairs I would finish and upholster the sears all colorful and you know, wow. So I was just remembering the epoxy appliqué you used, these chairs are begging or a heart in the back. Can you suggest something for this? Not sure if the wood or epoxy would have it or which would look better. Also, I love your top, I just got that plaid in hot pink and can’t decide what to make, I should make one for you too to match your hair! You are very cute, my hair is too dark to have that color, but I would if I could haha.

I had used a primer on my dining room table, but it ended up being really sticky. I tried to sand it, it just gummed up. I tried citrus stripper and it was still too hard to remove it with plastic scraper. Then I tried leaving a plastic garbage bag on half to cover it overnight. It went through the top layer, not sure If it was poly or not. So now my table is down to bare wood on half and the other half still has topcoat. Should I use something like shellac? It looks like the tannins will bleed through on the bare wood side.

Soooo.. What do you think of the silk compared to reg DB?? I've haven't tried it yet.. Better /same.? Easier to use maybe?? Dish it girl!!! 😉 😉

[@BellaRenovare]

okay so go into this thinking they are two totally different paints. they are both really good, the silk reminds me of when general finishes had a chalk like paint line, did you ever use it? It was one of my favorite paints. did you see my other video where I kind of compare and contrast?

[@kerrieshannon8650]

@@BellaRenovare No I didn't try GF. I Have only been painting a year and a bit.. I started with fusion mineral paint for quite a while but switched to DB as fusion was too much like plastic and you couldn't blend with it either... No I didn't see your other video of comparing 🤔🤔... I'll search it Thanks love you just the way your are!!! www.divinedesignsfurniture.com

[@BellaRenovare]

@@kerrieshannon8650 so I would say silk is pretty similar to fusion also, not super easy to blend but it doesn’t have a plastic feel. I think for blending and artistic finishes the chalk line is the best. Thank you Kerrie you are so sweet 💗💗

I just bought a $40 hutch that was exactly what I was looking for for my office. Not too many curves so I thought stripping wouldn’t be too bad…. NOOOO no idea what was under this thing… it’s been days of stripping. Nasty gummy slimy, parts still wouldn’t come off, had to do so many layers… it’s still only half stripped. I kind of just want to almost leave the rest and paint over it but one piece is the back which I was going to leave bare because this is actually a real mahogany antique.

[@soulfullydenelle6037]

[@fourtails1192]

@@BellaRenovare 👍🙏

[@Cameron99091]

I was watching your video on blending colors. I’m really frustrated with the process if I feel like I messed up should I sand it down and start over? I used four different colors. I did a dark grey , blended a off white and the dark grey to make a medium grey, and a a soft teal and the off white. In that order. I took on a complicated job as it’s a China cabinet with six doors, Any suggestions on how to blend the color?

[@BellaRenovare]

I think with colors that are so different it can be tough to blend those, you really want your colors to be complimentary or from the same color family. Maybe walk away practice on a practice board, you don't need to sand it down you should be able to repaint over it. I only strip or sand down finishes that have tons of paint or have bad paint jobs :)

[@elnosworld9893]

So I haven’t done enough research to really be able to give an educated comment that I am my first concern obviously is mineral spirits is something that comes from the petroleum industry and I’m not really keen on the idea honestly even though it might be beautiful I feel like there has to be alternatives that are healthier and if there aren’t than people like yourself might be able to create something new that could actually fill that void and that demand I think that’s the way that we need to be going and I also wondered how well do you do with your creations where you are like for example and I’m just curious what would you charge for the piece that you completed today And since I don’t know the conversion of American money to German I wonder if you could explain it in American terms thank you I really love your channel

[@BellaRenovare]

I agree, so today I actually did some more research on alternatives. Vinegar and water is an alternative to help neutralize the stripper. I only ever use mineral spirits for that anyways so next time I am going to try it vs the mineral spirits and report back. I agree I am way more supportive of non harsh chemicals and petroleum. That piece would probably be around 225 Euros :)

[@peggytravels793]

If using regular DB paints, would you top coat and then white wax?

[@BellaRenovare]

Great question!! Usually I spray it with the easy peasy spray wax first then I wax over that. I also use a damp cloth when pulling it back since it’s water based 😍
