I really like how this dresser turned out. It has a very unique aged appearance and yet at the same time... oh so modern. The light colored specks give an atmospheric look and feel. Just the right touch.

[@KathyB-m5d]

It was not a disappointment when you had to resort to plan B as this is surely a feast for the eyes and you hit the ball out of the ballpark. I absolutely love everything you did to this piece and your techniques are always so fun and interesting to watch, as the light vertical brush stroke is very effective. I recently found your channel and am entranced by everything you create and you are such an inspiration! With a number of pieces of furniture I have suitable for painting, I hope I can decide how to treat them, as there are so many options and choices to make. Decision making is not my forte and the more videos I watch, the more difficult it is to settle on any one thing. Guess I just have to get busy and see where it takes me. Like you said, it's just paint... and oh, what a material to work with! But it also depends on the hands holding the brush and the vision!

[@michellepereira2328]

I have a very small painted cabinet to paint that’s been sitting in my garage. I’ve been binge watching your videos to get inspiration.

Hi Lumun!!! Great suggestion!!! 🎨🙏❤️

[@AuntDu310]

Oh Christina, I am sorry this was such a pain to prep but WOW!! IT ROCKS!!! I am totally loving this! I think a bit of a deep red fly speck would have looked nice with it too🤔 I love the way it looks like the colors are bleeding in to eachother and the rub ons are just the perfect extra pop!🥰 So as for the new piece that the hubby brought home🤔. . . You know I'm a sucker for any shade of blue, but maybe it needs to be a bit brighter like maybe yellow with a bit of barcelona and French linen or maybe the olive green and French linen using this technique. . I would love to see more if this bleeding look🥰 Thank you so much for showing this technique, major thumbs up👍👍 **hugs**

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

... it’s so funny 😂 you write the red fly spec !! I thought 💭 that right when I started and then for some reason I didn’t and reached for the yellow?? I completely agree! The burgundy colour I should have done ✅ or even emperors silk . This next project is definitely going a fly party of RED! I am going dexter on it lol 😂 That you may only get if you have seen the series ? Lol 😆 I am secretly thinking based on reply’s and comments that it maybe Olive with Honfleur and Antibes ? And the Barcelona inside with a twisty fun impact 😱... I will be far as I did ask the subscribers and I will write everyone’s feedback down and match the winner colour palette 🎨 It’s a great challenge for me 💚🎨

[@rejane7340]

This dresser was wonderful, with the colors, the adhesive and the smooth integration between them. Wouldn't it be less work for you to have used a paint remover? It was a lot of work for you. But the result was magical, with a Medieval memory, as I like it. You always make beautiful pieces. Your hand is light and subtly obeys your command! Congratulations as always! A brotherly hug!

Good Afternoon! What a great tutorial and incredibly appropriate for me today. I'm taking a break from stripping my dear friend's buffet and hutch, which is painted in a white latex finish. If I had any idea what I was getting myself into - well, you know the rest. Unfortunately, he wants a light finish to match his beautiful new home and I have to get through first the latex, and then the cherry stain before I can apply a primer in hopes that I don't have bleed through. Thank you so much for sharing this technique. While I won't be able to use it on this particular hateful project, I'll keep it in mind for another one sitting in the garage. I was going to email you earlier this week to ask you to include stripping furniture in your Q&A. I've had quite a time finding the right product to tackle the latex. Time to get back to the 94 degree sunny Florida day. (Even Clapton, my old man Shepherd project supervisor, wants to stay indoors!)

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Hi Cynthia!!!! I feel your pain!!! Just keep sanding it the 40 grit really ripped through the latex! Glad to hear you only have one layer. For me it was white, brown and blue. It was quite an archeological dig I tell you!! 😂😂😂 I would love to see your finished project! 🙏🎨❤️
