The Ultimate Furniture Painting for Beginners Guide With Bella Renovare by CrysDawna

[@lindajohnston759]

I am going to take a moment and write what I am feeling right now. No cutesy comments, etc. just straight to the point! I love to redo furniture. Add to that the fact that I am a great grandmother makes for interesting "hobby"!. You are the ONLY KZbinr that I have found that 1. Talks without unnecessary hesitations and delays between words, sentences, etc. It drives me nuts!! 2. You tell it like it should be explained in simple, easy to understand terms. 3. You are very thorough and complete in giving directions. 3. You are just animated enough. 4. You know the proper terminology for giving directions and the proper names of products and tools. 4. You take the time to show every single phase of the process so we can see and learn. 5. You do not assume we know.....whatever. If we did, we wouldn't be watching!! 6. I love your pink hair! I'm tempted! OK, that's enough! Don't you change a thing about how and what you do. I know there are a lot of people that truly enjoy you and your thorough instructions. Thank you so much! I have not only learned a great deal, I have been inspired by you to pursue projects I probably would not have attempted.

[@BellaRenovare]

Wow Linda thank you so very much!! It really does mean a lot and thank you for taking the time to write that to me. I always say I would rather create quality content that will be helpful feather than fluff and nonsense I try to be mindful of you and your time. I like things to be concise and so I try to make sure that is what I give ❤️❤️ Thank you again so very much I really appreciate you so so much.

[@norcaldata]

She’s pretty fabulous🥰

[@BellaRenovare]

@@norcaldata you are so good to me :)

[@lunchboxlady2945]

Double dittos, what Linda Johnston said. What we are thinking while watching. Totally, agree 💯 with her.

[@judymorrison4638]

I can't tell you how many pieces I've seen that look good until they open a drawer and there are paint streaks. Yours are always so clean and beautifully done. Thank you for the tips. I always enjoy your videos and love your work.

[@annodnostaw9971]

Fantastic tutorial. You hit the nail on the head; Attention to the small details gives you the most professional look.

[@imsogodsgurl]

Extremely well done and concise. There have been almost 44,000 people watch this video and only 2,000 "likes". I think that is a darn shame! It's not a big deal to click on the icon people. And I don't know what the 18 others were smoking. If you like someone's content, you should show your appreciation by giving them a "thumbs up". I'm jumping down off my soap box now.

[@angelaweller3977]

Absolutely lovely watching someone who emphasised professional work

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you so much!!! Yes I feel like we need to take pride in our work and create professional products!

[@mandydriscoll2043]

Thank you for explaining every step in the process...you're the only painter that has explained it so well

[@istoiche]

I appreciate your attention to detail and agree that it makes a significant difference in the end result.

[@patriciaannredd2544]

Beginner here, just found your channel. Learned more in this one video than all the other 50 I’ve watched.

[@zhannamzhen746]

The lease transfer is just beautiful

[@shirleycarter2451]

Loved this dresser unit, it was a great tutorial from start to finish ,hope the clients enjoyed their very modern English cottage dresser,I can imagine it looking lovely sitting on a flagstone floor in a large kitchen in the Cotswolds. 😍😍😍

[@patparisi7617]

This was a great instructional video. I want to let you know that out of all the furniture flipper / painters that I've watched, you really stand out for me. You're truly an artist, have a really great base of technical knowledge about paint and brushes and the looks you can create with them. But what I love the most about your work is that you use COLOR!!! Everything's so monotone these days. It's so refreshing to see COLOR!!!

[@BellaRenovare]

Give me ALL THE COLOR!! lol....thank you so so much though really I appreciate not only YOU but your kind words, it really means so so. much :)

[@4Distractiononly]

I've seen a lot of flippers on Facebook marketplace that don't take the time to be professional and detailed. Thank you for showing how to do it right and making the paint last.

[@denisegroccia9181]

I am pre no ice and you are a master. I am learning so much.Thank you for your expertise,your day delivery of information and reminding me mistakes are opportunities. I am grateful for your gentle diligence.

[@denisegroccia9181]

that's pre NOVICE!

[@leighseymour235]

looks so nice! That transfer on the back really elevated it's look. You're so smart!!!

[@lisaroth7526]

Still the best teacher! I think it's a great idea to go back to basics every so often. I appreciate how clear you were about waiting on each step and how long one should wait. So many times, people get in too much of a hurry. It is worth slowing down now and then.

[@BellaRenovare]

I agree!!! Patience is a virtue isn't it? Thank you so much Lisa :)

"I have absolutely no desire to fit in" LOVE this Gorgeous lace decal, so looking forward to these being available. xxx

[@BellaRenovare]

You like my shirt?? it's so true though lol

[@davidwatt222]

Bella as soon as I recovery from a surgery I am going to try all of your techniques , and maybe flip furniture from home, I hope I become good as you you're such an artist beautifully done thank you for sharing

[@BellaRenovare]

you are so sweet!! thank you!! I hope you recover fast!! Take care of yourself first, furniture will be waiting for you :)

[@irenearbuckle4744]

This is breathtaking!! The stained top really pops with the blue. I’m going to try staining next time. Thanks for the great demo and explanations - great presentation and fabulous transformation!! 👍👌

[@BellaRenovare]

Thanks so much 😊

[@johnjenhutchinson234]

Absolutely LOVE the lace transfer - never would have thought of that.

[@pam-nyc]

Your attention to detail and fine tuning is incredible. I truly appreciate the quality of work you do and not say "it's okay you won't see it anyway", comments like that make me cringe. Your clients are very lucky. That color is awesome and of course so are you!

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you so much 😀 I am very detail oriented and so is my husband and if I don't catch something he will lol...so I always pretend he is my QC and if HE catching something then I have to fix it lol 😂

[@nancysnow85]

Love how the transfer at the back adds texture and kicks things up a notch. As always, your explanations are very helpful!

[@funkyflips5388]

Could you possibly put in your videos how long the project took you from start to finish? I have learnt so much from watching you 💖

[@BellaRenovare]

So this took about a week but I video so that adds time if that makes sense, but yes I can add how long it takes me normally a few days because I wait for dry times, the stain was on the piece for 72 hours before I sealed it

[@JAHManeShaker]

Finally a furniture flip that has a pro finish! while I love seeing the creativity of some other KZbinrs the finish usually makes me cringe. Painted over hinges, insufficient sanding/filling, bumpy roller/paint finish arrghhhhhh. Great video with lots of good technique tips, thanks!

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you so much, yes I try to take pride and make sure that my work is professional, I actually just repainted the whole side of a piece because wasn’t perfect 😬😬

[@norcaldata]

Oh girl, the simplicity of this piece is stunning! I would own this in a heartbeat😍😍😍

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you so much! It is kind of refreshing isn't it?

[@letscelebrateyou]

I am a beginner and took notes of every step! I wish you would have spent a little bit of time going over the brushes that you used… but gracious, other than that, it was beyond perfection! THANK YOU, this is a gift!

[@karenfantkf]

I love watching you paint you explain each step in you have a wonderful personality that just makes watching you so much fun.

[@judymielcarek6011]

Absolutely gorgeous! I love everything about it. You are truly a professional.

[@jodilynn4347]

Y0OUR BIGGEST FAN HERE!! this was such a nice calm sweet video. tons of great info, your the best teacher! good job sista

[@nm6818]

Stunning. And your joy and passion shine through!

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you so much!

[@genna2586]

So thankful for taking the time to do this tutorial. Really good step by step video from beginning to end. I have almost all the supplies, so I’m doing this! Thanks

[@gailcullinan349]

Another greatbvideo and lessons from you Crus Dawna. I love duck egg blue and usually with gold. Beautiful hutch

[@deborahmatatall]

Thank you for another great video! I love the hutch! Even for a “not a beginner” this was a terrific video. All the little things I learn from you are immensely helpful. Dowels back into the holes and your technique for removing the back of the hutch were both new info for me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@trishwilson7517]

Wow such great detailed info, chum! I love that you showed how to reuse the dowel bit. That new transfer is so purdy, isn't she?!

[@robynduplooy3039]

I could watch you work ALL day! Thanks so much for doing such a detailed step by step!

[@angelacapranica7701]

Taking everything off is the hardest part for me!! And the most intimidating

[@BellaRenovare]

I AGREE, but once you do it a few times and have sort of a method it will be much better.

[@conniestelly3020]

Thanks for taking the time to explain everything wish I could take classes from you. Enjoyed it thanks again have a blessed evening.

[@BellaRenovare]

You are so welcome, well you kind of are taking classes with my videos lol...maybe when I come back to the states and the lockdowns are gone I will do workshops!

[@judywilliamson2068]

I’ve always sanded first; because I thought, “why clean first and then sand?” You explained that today. I have noticed on a few of my pieces (where b4 painting there might have been fingerprints) that after the piece is painted sometimes staining would show through in those spots. Now I know why. Duh!!! I was sanding those fingerprints right into the wood! I’ve heard lots of people say clean it first and then sand but you are the first person to explain “why”! I guess I’m the kind of old lady that needs to know “why exactly don’t I take this short cut?” Thank goodness I’m not so old that I can’t learn this trick. LOL Thanks so much for the info. I learn so much on your channel.

[@BellaRenovare]

Honestly I think no matter how much we know or our age, we learn something new every single day, also I think sometimes a lot of people don't explain things to us, our they tell us "o who cares, you don't need to do that". I am always learning something new and so I am so glad I can pass it on to you :)

[@suzannemathes8775]

You are a really good teacher! You never fail to explain all your steps and for that I am grateful! Super job!

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you so much!

[@karenmomoftwins8847]

This was SO. Super helpful. You are so calming and communicate so we'll. Thank you!!

[@natashasinclair8879]

What a great tutorial! Thank you for explaining everything thoroughly. Sometimes you watch a video and some part is skipped over because it's assumed we know and you're left wondering how it was done. Thank you.

[@samuelandjenniferwoo6306]

I wish I could 'like' this more than once. You have a beautifully clear way of explaining everything. I am nervous about starting to paint my first piece, but you make me feel like I can do it successfully. :)

[@BellaRenovare]

You can do it! remember we ALL start somewhere!! I would love to hear how it goes :)

[@brieyour9000]

Hi, I’m a beginner, as in I am a bit scared to take on a project like this. But your video makes me feel confident and motivated. You’re so sweet and patiënt, a great teacher. Thank you so much. Brigitte, Suriname, South America. 🌹

[@bonzibonnie]

Glad you number your pieces along with the hardware. In the past, it was a crazy time finding where everything goes. 😂 😂 😂 QUESTION: Has anyone done a roll top desk? I have a small one that I have refinished 2 times, there must be another way do do the roll top portion! I struggle. Gorgeous hutch!!!!

[@brigittesingleton2593]

My husband and I are about to tackle our first furniture painting project. Thank you so much for all the great tips in your video!

[@oglemedaris]

Beautifully ❤️ done! I agree you can never do enough prep work to ensure the quality of your piece! Thank you ❤️ for the painting lessons , as I do forget! Love the transfer you added to the hutch back. Never had seen that design before . Must be a new one!

[@susananobio6487]

YOU ARE AWESOME!!! I learned so much. As a beginner, your detailed explanation was so helpful! A million thanks!

[@handsonwithharriet1749]

Thank you for the details. I haven't refinished in years. I'm self taught. I have a couple of large pieces I'm now looking forward to.

[@BellaRenovare]

You can do it!

[@lianegarcia4899]

I love you!!! No puedo decir nada más porque Linda Johnston Leyo mi mente y escribió mis sentimientos hacia tu maravilloso trabajo, por ello escribo en español, solo para demostrarte que aún no siendo en otra lengua es increíble como explicas todo tan PERFECTO, muchas gracias, gracias, gracias

[@rebeccavinyard2899]

Thank you for your patients in teaching us your skills. This piece turned out beautifully!

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you so much!!

[@arlene7394]

You are the best! Thank you providing detailed explanations (to all of your videos). I get so excited when a see a notification from your site. Love 20-Tuesdays and your Friday paint series. You are the best paint/artist teacher on YT! Looking forward to more...

[@kylashea4231]

Beautiful as always!!!! As well as informative, I just love how detailed you are when explaining the process and why.

[@lindafrench4670]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. You are so gracious to explain each step. I will be watching again and again to be sure I'm doing the right things. Love you!

[@chasmit2033]

That looks beautiful. Back to basics always works for me. One tends to forget the little things. Thank you so much. Regards from Cape Town South Africa. 💕

[@mrststreasures9628]

I love how meticulous you are - that stain is really incredible so beautiful! Oh I'm really liking that transfer boy that's fancy I like that! I like the way that clear coat brightens up the transfer too. Wow that Hardware is just Dynamite. Oh I'm so glad that you did not put the glass back in there that looks fantastic! And I noticed the Rae Dunn pieces that's kind of cool! You are so awesome I love your attention to detail!!

[@jillwhatley994]

Wow! That lace transfer is so INCREDIBLY GORGEOUS! I hope I can get my nerve up to try one. With this video, I’m getting there! TY❤️as always!

[@BellaRenovare]

You can do it! They really are much easier than you think and these ones are super beginner friendly :)

[@velmacoffey3763]

Fir some reason, your older videos are popping up. Lucky me .... i obviously missed it the first time!! Hope all is well. Happy new year !!

[@marypmarble]

Thank you a million times over for your detailed explanations and teaching! I am new to this, and describing and then showing how you do your painting techniques, and all of the little details makes a HUGE difference for those of us who are learning! LOVE your channel, your creativity and your amazing personality and fun! What a gift you are!

This is the best DIY to begin painting furniture. I have saved this DIY in a special place. Your hutch came out beautifully. Thanks for doing this. I feel fearless now to paint my night stands!

[@rhondapriesmeyer8101]

I watched this 4 months after you posted. It’s a great video for teaching newbies and for more experienced painters to review techniques. I also was looking for a video to recommend for a friend that wants to paint a piece. This is perfect! And I learned something new - I didn’t know about using Big Mama’s Butta as a wood conditioner before applying an oil based stain. Interesting!! Love you pink hair, your teaching style, and you’re willingness to help others. Thanks so much.

[@nancyberg6260]

Steps to being impeccable are appreciated and noted for my work. Love this color and see the import for the transfer. Staged so beautifully. Calms me down. Then I can do my pieces.

I have only ever used craft store or local store brand chalk paints. I am excited to try Dixie Bell!! Thank you for all your inspiration and tips!! Love your channel and look forward to your videos!! You have really inspired me, because you actually take the time to explain and show us the techniques and the reasons why not to skip steps!!

I appreciate that so so much, I sometimes think no one wants to watch these 30 minute videos then I AM LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT! I am still gonna do it, even if ONE person finds it helpful, I would rather over share and over teach than leave you like well "how do I do this?"

I have to say thank you so very much for going back to the beginning and back to basics!👏❣️💘❣️🥳 For all those that are new or even some of us that have been refinishing furniture our whole lives but now with all the new products and paints and sealers and stains, it's nice to see the use of them and kind of the do's and don'ts 👍❣️❣️ I only have one question and that is with the transfers if you put them on a piece and you don't have the Dixie Belle clear coat or top coat that you used, what is a anybody can find it anywhere product that you would use to seal the transfer on a piece of furniture?? Something like polyacrylic or polyurethane something in that family?? Again thank you so much for your hard work and for just showing everybody how they can do things do them correctly and get a great outcome when they use your knowledge for their own projects😍❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ Sincerely Lori K 💕

What a beautiful China Cabinet. I love Vintage Duck Egg. It's a great color and makes this piece look farmhouse. I always learn something new when I watch your videos. I had no idea that you could condition raw wood with Big Mama's Butta. That's a tip I'll definitely have to try. Lots of great tips and I've been painting for a while. Thanks for another great video !!

[@alisonmary1443]

That was excellent, really enjoyed that, beautifully done!. I have become very flippant when doing furniture cos "it's only for me" and I want it done quick so I can be tidy again and continue with sewing etc. It's so worth going with all preparation in this video even if it is just for you! I have two other bits of furniture to paint, for now, and they deserve to be done well, Thank you so much.
