FINALLY someone who is teaching how to do this finish! ❤❤❤❤ I just bought these products and since I’m super new at anything paint I was so confused at Home Depot so if you are ignorant like me know this.. Rugged Tan will be found under the Behr paint colors along with Natural Twine. I was looking under Gliden for like 15 min. It’s not there. The behr paint samples are in the desk with the workers. I got the semi gloss- advice of the worker. The code for Natural Twine is s310-3 and Rugged tan is N90-4, in case you really can’t find them like me lol I can’t wait to get started on my table! Fingers crossed!!

[@blacksheephouse]

Great tip! thanks for sharing with others and happy painting! 💕

[@sitav6661]

How did your painting go?. i am like you so would love to know about how easy or difficult it was.

[@melissiakuhn7287]

Your tutorials are the best! You give the important information without a bunch of nonsense. 💜

[@jennifersharp4494]

I can’t thank you enough for sharing your tips with all of us! I had a very old dining set and credenza that I used this method on. It turned out beautiful! I feel like I have new furniture and was able to keep using the set my mom gave me years ago.

[@DKIkard]

You are so talented. Thanks for the tutorial. I painted my Great Grandmother's dresser recently - cut off the curly Q bottom and it looks modern and amazing. Thanks to your videos. 😊

[@Pagingnursejackie]

Im doing bathroom cabinet in this technique so i was going to reference back to one of your old videos for refresher course and then I see your notification and was like "Come through Shannon with the prefect timing!" I cant wait! Thank you for all your amazing tips!

[@jhogan9728]

Thanks for being yourself and kind your work is amazing.

[@dekgie]

I was planning on slapping some paint on my bedroom set but now I’m totally taking a step further and doing this wool like finish! So glad I came across this channel❤

[@MissNikki0977]

I'm new here and I must tell you, I'm obsessed with this look! You cracked the code on this Pottery Barn look! Job well done! And thank you!

[@karenhaskins590]

That is a beautiful finish! Thank you for walking us through how to do it! :)

[@vyvyienewalser6798]

Absolutely love ur work.Ur voice is so pleasant to listen to.Thank u so much for teaching us all.

[@livingawordfilledlife]

What a *God wink* - this literally popped up on my feed today and I am on my way to pick up bar stools from someone who wants me to paint them with this very finish! You are a blessing. Heading to HomeDepot shortly! Thanks so much! Have a JOY filled weekend!

[@debraneria4242]

What a smart idea Shannon with sample boards for certain finishes..and this Faux Grass ..faux Linen technique is Soo beautiful... thank you for sharing 🥰👍

[@jencochrane7294]

Always love your tutorials. So helpful and informative! Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@francesnoerr3240]

Omg i just finished glaze, on a free bedroom set I got on Facebook market place for free. This works! I’ve never tried a faux finish of any kind!I wish I could post photos, i bought the yellow but it looks so good I’m afraid to mess it up. The supplies were around 100 all from Home Depot but I used every little for the entire bedroom set. When she says use a little glaze she means it. Thanks so much for a great video.

[@tammybugg9805]

Hey Shannon! Fellow Georgian here. I finally tried your technique on a dresser and nightstand! I am in love. Thank you , thank you!!!!! So professional looking.

[@eileenalbanese5362]

Thank you for your thorough instruction. Your work is awesome!!!👍👍👍

[@MakeoverByDae]

Omg it came out so beautiful. You are an awesome teacher. Really enjoyed this video. ❤

[@kaitlynwiggins2328]

Thanks so much for this very informative video!! I’ve been wanting to try this technique and this tutorial is the best! Thank you! Off the the garage! 💕

[@buddygiz99]

Great tutorial. I can’t wait to try this finish.

[@karenwilson7295]

Wow, I learn so much from you. Thank you, thank you, because of you I started to refinish my dining room suite and it turned out fantastic, So far so good, buffet is done, I’m on to the poly topcoat now. Hope I don’t screw it up at this final state. 🤣🤣. Onward to the table…..

[@user-to3qd9oy1j]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing the colors. Gotta try this.

[@hazelinthewoods9966]

Very clear instructions. Thanks 🙏

[@barbarasmelser3817]

Awesome as always, thanks for sharing.

[@cesarmartinez4294]

Did this today on a textured balustrade coffee table and matching end table, absolute gorgeous finish!! Just a quick tip the glaze does not like to overlap so if you accidentally get a bit on a side your’re not working on yet clean it before it dries and you’ll have a beautiful clean finish.

[@bback4078]

I finally switched to using a deck staining brush fir your technique- a beautiful soft one from Benjamin Moore. It made a big difference!

[@1986kimberlyg]

This is so incredibly helpful! We have a PB table in driftwood and I love it. Unfortunately, there were several damaged areas from a recent move. I’m thinking I’m just hoping to re-do the entire top using your method so it’s back to new!

[@chargrove7467]

Gorgeous and great instructions thank you, I love your content!

[@kellyflynn467]

Beautiful!

[@MomOfMonkeys]

I have sea drift furniture but it looked very gray next to a warmer piece I had. I used rugged tan to "tan wash" (I learned tan-wash from you too) the warmer piece looks so good and now blends nicely with the pottery barn furniture. Thank you!

[@kdff4052]

This is incredibly helpful!! Thank you!!

[@kerryd9554]

Beautiful! I am planning on refinishing my dark bedroom furniture in this color.

Such a treat to follow a channel that is knowledgeable and organized. No music, just straight talk. Thank you.

[@emilywalton2339]

My husband and I have been renovating our home for over a year. We are finally painting and staining Cabients. We loved your video so much we bought enough paint and supplies for our all of our Cabients. We’re doing our kitchen, pantry, bathroom vanities, and built ins. It’s been a process the worst part is brushes shedding lol. Can’t forget the cats stepping on the Cabient when they are drying 😂😅.

[@sophrhodes]

I was not about to subscribe to yet another channel; however your detailed instructions - well they are excellent. So yes, I am subscribing. :) Cheers!

I did this and it's beautiful! Tysm❤

[@gillyslikejillysart7458]

Thank you so much for all this info!💖💖💖

[@mariemartin5962]

What paint did you use for dry brushing?

[@jojoolson]

I was wondering the same thing. I'm assuming she used the same as the base coat.? @blacksheephouse

[@EverydayMoms]

It was Behr natural twine (sample pot)

[@rhondatoben7057]

love it thanks for the tips

[@LifeCoachNicole]

Thank you so much for sharing

[@rockshot100]

She doesn't say but the glaze is an oil based product, so clean up will not be soap and water. This also looks great with fly-specks, just don't go overboard. It is very important to wait until the glaze is completely dry before adding the top coat. One BIG tip: She did horizontal strokes over wood parts that should have a vertical grain direction. Note the vertical moldings on the top of the face. Those would be lengthwise grained. So an easy way to do this properly would be to tape these off, wait for it to dry, then do vertical strokes on those sections. Easy way to explain this: Imagine a square frame with mitered corners. First do the top and bottom in the same direction with the miter taped off. Let that dry, then do the two sides, again with the miter taped off, in the opposite direction. Yes, this takes more time, but SO worth it. The last application of the light drybrush is not always needed, but sometimes, a dark aging wax is really nice. That would go on AFTER the final topcoat. The topcoat will not stick to wax.

[@jessicanolan6759]

So many people have stolen your pottery barn finish on tick tock. Makes me happy though when people give you the credit you deserve

[@Morna777]

I did this technique on a black IKEA desk that someone had spilled nail polish remover on. I now have a white desk with a light wood top!

[@carolhefner6353]

Appreciate your videos so much! Love your style and teaching. Currently working on a dresser set using this technic. Would you be able to recommend a Lowe's or SW paint color for they dry-brushing yellow color? I'd really appreciate. The pieces look so good now, I'd hate to mess it up on the nearly last step. Thanks for all you do!!

[@barbarak9135]

Love your videos and techniques! Any suggestions for achieving the pottery barn Sausalito charcoal finish?

[@rampitup12]

Great work. I like that you use cheaper paints.

[@pc7225]

You are awesome source

[@charliesangel9270]

I am hooked on your videos now!! Thank you! Would you recommend oil based over water base in very humid environments?

[@clbbl]

Could you show the other two sample boards and what products you used Shannon? Love the sample board 💡!

[@blacksheephouse]

I’ll be posting videos on those finishes within the next few weeks

[@Greenlifer]

Perfect!! I wish I could give you 100+ thumbs up😄

[@Ashton351]

Have you tried adding physical texture on a solid wood piece by first scraping with a wire brush? I think that'd really get the Seadrift finish.

[@fifitis03]

Cool technique thanks for sharing do you have a video on refinishing a table top to a faux wood finish?

[@blacksheephouse]

Yes 🙌 It’s so awesome on tables! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5mtdnpqgteNq6c

[@froglegsaretasty]

Love that I found your page! Trying to stain/paint some pine shelves to match the pottery barn "smoked gray" could this method work on wood too? Same process?

[@yhofer]

I absolutely love your work. You make it look so easy. I have a question. I bought a solid oak table and it was in perfect condition except a tiny hole in the top. I did 2 Coates whitewash and then I filled it with white wood filler then stained it. It left that area super dark. Do I just sand that off and dig it (gently) out of the hole to get rid of the dark mess? ♥️

[@blacksheephouse]

Hey! That’s frustrating to have happen, wood filler is extremely absorbent which is why you generally need to prime it before painting, if I were you I would try to paint over it to match your table color and then clear coat it all, you can mess around with color combos to see what works best, im sure you already are familiar with the faux wood looks here on the channel and one of those might match well 🖤

[@sarahnichols7785]

I'm back with more questions haha! Would you recommend and oil based poly for a bathroom vanity? We have the Sausalito bedroom furniture but I'm hacking a vanity to match the finish for an adjoining bathroom.

[@brendabechtold8402]

Really love this look! We are trying to do the same but running into a problem finding the Rust-Oleum Decorative Glaze. Any suggestions for a substitution?

[@giam9990]

Love your work! Which out of the three from the beginning of the video are you showing in this video?

[@julietahendrixson9313]

Hello there thank you for sharing this awesome idea! I’m trying to give this look to an IKEA sideboard (Ersnas) but since its made out of a plywood material I’m not sure if I should use the water based primer? Please help with any tips or advice you might have I would highly appreciate jt 🙏🏼 TIA

[@trangtruong1665]

Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. How long should I wait after the Rugged tan before glaze?

[@blacksheephouse]

I usually leave it overnight or 4 hours if it’s a nice sunny dry day

[@alkap2922]

Hi from Canada 🇨🇦- love your channel! I can’t find Briarsmoke in gel stain up here at our HD - only in regular stain. Would that work over paint? Or would you recommend blending two gel stains together- if so which two stain colours would you suggest? Thanks!!

[@jomarieweststeyn3248]

Love this finish. I’m redoing pieces in my home and super newbie at all of this. I want to do this on some of my side tables, just want to clarify that using an oil base top coat over water base paints is acceptable?

[@blacksheephouse]

I’ve had great success with it, just be sure each step you do is fully dry before moving to the next

[@sharoncalloway8128]

Hello, I have a old cherry veneer dresser that we added gel stain to and after 24 hrs was still not dry so we decided that we were going to paint it. So far, we painted top with primer. Would we be able to use something like liquid wood on it? Thanks!

[@samanthanguyen7727]

I finally found someone doing this look. I will work on my cabinet, do I need to sand them down with orbital sander before applying a primer or just use the liquid sandpaper?

[@kaitlynsharp5015]

What was the product you dry brushed on after the glaze? Thank you for this fabulous video!

[@lynnjaneczek4004]

Thankyou for sharing …have you tried any of these finishes with flat paint ?

[@williammcconnell8141]

Hi. Your an excellent teacher and communicator about these projects. I’m having drying issues with the oil based glaze. Been ne’er 24 hours applied over the semi gloss base and the glaze is still tacky to touch after 24 hours. In my house at 70 degrees ! Is this normal ? Can say’s 4 hours dry time.

[@MariaChavez-lc5hs]

Wondering if the base color coat works for both brown/gray finish? I want to try it both in a 2 different dressers

[@BG-fg4wp]

Hi! I have a black dining table that I want to do the gray wash on. Can you give me tips on how to start. Do I sand first or can I just prime first? I don’t believe is solid wood. Please advise. Thank you Barbara

Wow

Amazing! Have you ever done this technique in a kitchen? If yes can you share photos/video?

I've been so curious about this too

I'd like to do it on my kitchen cabinets and fireplace mantel...any tips,

Same here. Looking to redo my builder grade cabinets.

[@corinapare9545]

This is a beautiful finish. I tried to get the Rustoleum decorative glaze and it’s discontinued 😢 I live in a small town so it couldn’t even be ordered in. I also live in Canada. What would you recommend as an alternative?

[@lizjmom]

Thank you what are you do if you put too much gel stain on & it dried? Do you have to paint over? Also, how do you get it from? Not looking so shiny finish? Thank you thank you.

[@utethornburg7715]

I love this finish. My problem is finding the right products here in Germany. Especially glazes, and gel stain I can’t find. Any idea what I could use instead?

[@klambkin1]

Just found this video and it is exactly the look I want, however I am having a hard time finding the color Rugged tan in Glidden. Even on their website it does not come up. Is there a substitute you could recommend please?

[@carmiee707]

Would you use the Matte oil base poly for a dining room table too?

[@lynatran4466]

Hi Shannon. I noticed in your table top video you used a whisk broom to spread the brown glaze all over while in this one, you just use a fluffy brush (or deck staining brush) for the brown glaze. Is the brush a new and improved technique to achieve this pottery barn look? or do you still recommend using the whisk broom for larger surfaces such as table top? Thanks for your videos!! They’re so helpful!

[@lakola7632]

I wondered the same 🙂

[@630sunshine]

I was also wondering this. And they rubber dog grooming tool too.

[@kellibrewer225]

Will this work on MDF board after the plastic/melamine coating is removed from a cabinet,?

[@MandyDupree1]

This is awesome! I love the finish. If I want my finished color to be a little darker or more brown, would I use a darker base color, or leave on more glaze? Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated!

[@donnab8528]

I was wondering the exact same thing. Have you tried it yet?

[@MandyDupree1]

@@donnab8528 Not yet. But when I do, I will post a pic.

[@donnab8528]

@@MandyDupree1 I’m going to practice on a small side table using the base color she suggests.I will go from there as to whether or not to use a darker base color. I had to order the glaze. Hopefully, I’ll get started this weekend.

[@sarag3019]

Love this! I am currently using your technique on a dining room table. Everytime I apply poly to it it pulls some of the glaze off and leaves a noticeable brush mark. The glaze is allowed to dry for several days What am I doing wrong?

[@blacksheephouse]

I’m sorry that is so frustrating, the glaze must still be wet so I’d give it a few more days

[@aok2727]

You use a satin for the desert tan. I used left over chalk paint. Will less smooth like chalk be a problem?

[@tinapapandrea9114]

What fluffy brush is that. I have use your technique before with the deck brush. But this would be better for the draws..

[@katielandis1677]

I like this look but would like a grey white wash look, but not sure what paint to use and it doesn’t need to look perfect

[@630sunshine]

I’m about to tackle a 8’ dining table using this technique. I’ve only used water based topcoat and I’m a little scared to use oil base as I don’t want to mess this up…. Any helpful advise with working with oil based topcoat would be greatly appreciated. Can you use a roller or brush on only? Thanks!

[@blacksheephouse]

It’ll look so beautiful and you’ll be so glad you did it! You’ll need to use a natural fiber paint brush or a roller made for oil based polyurethane. The least expensive thing to use is a chip brush, but anything made for oil based finishes works fine since the oil based topcoat levels so well. I would do two coats for a dining table, 3 or 4 if children use it often and are crafty 💕

[@wendybooher1237]

Did you create this video before or after the dresser? Do you still recommend the dog tool and wish or just the kids brush?

[@debt.2893]

Hi!! I love this so much. Q: the second coat of paint after the glaze…is it the same tan as the base paint color?

It’s a pale yellow 🌝

Any suggestions for my kitchen table top for paint and glaze. It a like a dark grey, with brown. Stainless appliances ….. black stove and hardware. Wish I could send a pic. I’ve been covering this up this table for years trying to figure out a color.

I want to try this on a dresser that is already painted a light grey. Do I need to prime it or can I go straight in with the rugged tan paint?

[@courtneahthomas3532]

What paint did you use for the dry brushing?

[@tinapapandrea9114]

One more question. Have you done this look with grey? And if yes grey and what glaze? Or should I try the polyurethane and grey paint mix that you showed in a video

[@blacksheephouse]

🖤 yes I use half poly and half grey paint to create a water based grey glaze - I do have a video doing grey with oil based - here is the oil based video for now kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5_GlpKHqr2igJI
