My mom had one, 1944? My older sister re-FINISHED it! Nice job here!
Thanks! I wish this one was from 1944!
Jami! Hey I wanted to ghive you a heads up. If it's a lane chest made before 1987 - order the safety latch from lanes website. ALL of the chests were recalled and given the option to add a safety hinge so children don't crawlnin and get stuck. So many did that lane STILL offers the free latch ;)
Good to know! I’ll check mine.
You are such a lovely couple and team work 👍
You guys are excellent teachers! I’ve watched so many of your videos, that I think I’m actually ready to tackle my furniture painting projects. Thanks 🙏🏻. You guys are awesome.
Yay! Paint all the things! ❤️❤️
I recently saw a really old cedar chest and seriously thought about getting it to refinish. Now I'm going to be on the hunt for another one to do. I love this look and I've got to get this stain before it goes off sale tonight. I use the Wooster Foam Brushes to put on my sealer and really love the way the don't streak like regular brushes do. Thanks for another great video !!!
Those Wooster foam brushes are the best! Changed how all my finishes look once I found them.
i learn a lot from your channel, thank you
I’m doing the same thing with my Lane bedroom furniture! It’s cheaper than buying all new set! 👍🏻😃
Sure is! And you get to control the colors and look you want. 👍👍
Jami Ray Vintage Amen to that! 👍🏻😊
I still have my cedar chest from my 16th birthday. I have all my treasures from school in it. Lol!! I think it might need to be painted now.
Sounds awesome!
Hello Jami and Zeb, Love the chest, 100%improvement from it's original color, beautiful job!
Thank you! ❤️
Jami Ray Vintage , like I have said watching you guys I feel like family , having said that grandma has to go to sleep lol ,12:34am here God Bless You
This is so awesome! I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now and have just finished my first project! My old tv stand. I’ll try to send a photo. I just wanted to let you know that the cedar chest in this video is from my area. I’m in little bitty Rustburg, VA and the chest was made by Lane Furniture Company which was in Altavista,VA like 20 minutes from where I live. So awesome that this piece made it your way and now on UA-cam!!!! Sorry I got really excited!! Thanks for all your knowledge sharing! It really helps soooo much ! You guys are awesome and keep up the good work!!! 💜
Yay! That’s great! Would love to see your stand! ❤️❤️
Jami Ray Vintage I sent you a pm on Facebook to show you a pic!
Came out great, as all your projects do, keep them coming😊
❤️❤️
Beautiful piece. Nicely done. Love the whitewash on top.
❤️❤️
Really pretty! I have a large cedar chest that my mom got from her parents wham she graduated from high school wow it’s about80 something years older I’m going to refinish it!! ⚜️
Nice! We’d love to see it when you’re done.
This turned out so nice. Good work.
Thanks Friend!
Where do I get this "real stain number 2"? Do you ship to Australia?
That turned out pretty. I have one that was my grandmother's but is more rounded and the veneer is peeling off of it, it was in my house when it caught on fire so it needs some tlc to bad you don't live beside me lol
You got that Dana!
Hi Jami, the piece came out beautiful. The weathered wood that I’ll be white-washing is definitely cedar - they are planed planks to use for an accent wall. The shades of the weathered wood are darker tones of grey that I really want lighter, but not opaque white. My fear is white-washing the cedar and having it then appear pale pink instead of lighter shades of grey. Do you have any tips for achieving the look I’m envisioning? Thank you
Thanks! With the DIY paint if you’re going for full coverage I’ve not had the color of the wood affect tone. If you’re just wanting to do a light coat with wood showing through you may get a pink effect.
Since you don’t carry the real stain anymore do you know of a comparable stain to this color?? I love it!
We’ve been experimenting with milk paint.

I would probably use galvanized in sp milk paint to get more gray.

My cousin gave me a lane "cedar" chest, the outside is painted black and I had the same idea with the top but this one is a plywood exterior. I was very surprised
Yeah, they seem to be all about that cedar lining.
So beautiful! I just love it all.
That came out beautiful! Hope to get mine the same way!! Thank you for this video!
We’d love to see pictures! We have a sharing page on Facebook where people can show us their projects.

I just love your channel. I'm still having a hard time downloading the botanicals. I'm a 56 year old mom and would love to flip furniture but I can't afford much ....... I keep thinking some day
Start small. A nightstand, an end table, a mirror. Things like that. Plus they are easy to lift and fit in most vehicles
Hello. I love your work and your style. I have a question. Is the Diy paint the same as chalk paint?
It’s very similar. It’s a minimal prep paint. I think it’s more versatile for blending because it’s a thicker consistency. DIY whites also have amazing coverage.
Very nice. Thanks
Great job you guys 🤗💕
Thank you Gina! ❤️
That is not a cedar chest. That is a pine chest lined with cedar veneer. Cedar is the more expensive wood because of its properties (pest repellent and weather resistant). Go price cedar vs pine in any lumber yard. You are not likely to see pine used for veneer because in comparison to other woods, it has the least desirable properties.
Lane continues the fine old tradition of the "hope chest". These were storage containers for aspiring brides, a place to collect the linens she would later need for her wedding and marriage. Cedar is a popular choice for lining closets or storage cabinets because it repels the insects that like to chew on clothing.
Love your bedroom.
You guys are awesome
Really pretty.
Excellent! Thank you.
A lot of cedar chests are just cased with cedar inside only. That’s a really pretty chest.
I really wanted it to all be cedar lol. -Zeb
Jami Ray Vintage I know, Zeb. The pain is real. My mom painted my grandmothers cedar chest, then my dad stripped it and put on a beautiful stained and varnished finish. Now I want to paint it again, but I feel guilty because dad took such care to make it beautiful. My parents are both passed now, but I still can’t bring myself to paint it. But I really want to!
Tough call. They’d want you to be happy right? 👍
great video :) i enjoy the process of figuring out what to do when it's not 100% wood....Question for your 'Real Stain Sale' the board colors in the pictures, is that pine? I apologize if you have it stated somewhere on your website, i really looked.... thanks guys! :) :)
Yes, they are pine.
Another good one 🌻
Hi guys, great work. Those are so handy....tfs
Another great job!!!!!
Thanks! ❤️
what color is your stain?
I am such a painting novice, but I love to paint things and I love what paint and / or stain does for a piece. I need something that says....this is the product....this is what you use it for....this is how you use it......for ALL the different types of paint and stain: also something that says if you want "this affect", this is what you use and this is what you do. Do you have anything like that? If not, are you planning to write a book that we can buy? I'd be first in line!
No book yet, we try to complete a piece from start to finish in every video. These videos have tons of tips and tricks.

Thank you. I have watched most of your videos, I think, but I'm definitely going to go through the playlists. I still think you would make a GREAT book that people would love to have and just using some of your pieces you've already done would make it a wonderful coffee table book as well. Thanks for always answering my MANY questions LOL.
Wow love it! 🌷
Thank you!
Hi great video, what was the final step. Pickens top coat?
Yes. ❤️❤️
Have you shown what kind of chest you have with your television on it I haven't seen that side of the room. Everything else looks beautiful.
Here’s a tour of the whole room. 👍

Hi! What did you seal it with?
Rosa Stratton we usually use sweet Pickins top coat when we spray a finish. You can buy it here jamirayvintage.com/products/top-coat-sweet-pickins
Love the way it turned out, I use to sell Lane cedar chests & that one exactly 🤭. So I liked the video, I like do one ALL if them I'm just now watching, I comment & I ask questions... But I haven't gotten any answers, just a heart. I guess I'll just keep watching & see if you answer my questions? which are for my own personal use, not to make money doing this. Again Sincerely Lori K.
Lori Keogan hi Lori. I don’t know why you aren’t seeing my replies. I’ve responded to all of them. ❤️❤️
We’re very transparent about what we do and share all of our info even if you do paint for profit. Maybe check your email that you use to sign up to UA-cam and look in the social tab for the response alerts?
Another excellent video. Beautiful piece.
Thanks!
I have a problem where I stained something dark and there’s still some patches that I must not have sanded down enough so they didn’t take the stain. Could I still do a white wash on it or would it look weird with a super dark stain under it? Please help I need a solution!!!
If you haven’t sealed it yet you can probably whitewash it. Our stain is water based but the technique can work with oil based stain as long as it’s dry. You may want to try a dry brush technique. Let me find the video on it.
ua-cam.com/video/BMwOSuiAp64/v-deo.html
would a white wash look weird though with a super dark stain under it?
Yes, but maybe test a spot, sometimes dark stains with a wash over them can come out looking purple or pinkish.
thanks Jami!!!! loving your tutorials. they are super helpful :)
👍
This turned out great! Love love love your bed. Your husband should make these & sell them!
Where did you get the bedding?
The bedding is from Walmart. Home and Garden line.
I love it! Thanks a bunch!
LOVE this!!!
Would it be ok to use the clay paint as a primer for acrylic gloss? Curious
I suppose you could. It’s very porous and thick but it sticks to just about anything.
My next project I’d love to try this paint and do a wax finish!
Sounds awesome. We’d love to see it!
You guys are awesome. That's all ;)
Can you write under the video all paints which did you use , please?
They are listed. We used real stain #2 and DIY white Swan.
Links are in the description below. ❤️
Jami , which sander do you use ?
A dewalt random orbital sander.

I love the chest. I have one at home can't wait to get my hands on now. Off topic but I was wondering what I can do with a dresser that I so love that is covered with laminate (top and sides).
Maybe a light buffing with 220 grit and it should paint up fine.
Beautiful!
Zeb...has anyone ever told you that you remind them of a young Art Carney?
Unfortunately newer Lane cedar chests are not solid cedar. They are "cedar lined". It's unfortunate. Solid wood furniture is so nice.
Yeah it is. At least there was no fiber board!
I thought you were going to redo your other daughters room 🤔
wow that turned out so perfect. Now I wish my 15-year-old sleigh bed wasn't cherry stained. feel its dated.
Cherry stain can be painted. You’ll want a can of Zinser shellac if you do. It’s stops the bleed through from the stain. 👍
do you think I should go for it? better make up my mind before I do the ikea hack to the unfinished nightstands I bought. then I can put my order in for all the paint I need
Jami Ray Vintage so I get the shellac, not the primer stain blocker???
I’ve never had good luck with primers as a stain blocker. Some people swear by it but I’ve found shellac to work the best.
I will go with your advice since you're the expert thank you so much for your time.
