Blending paint on furniture is a great way to add depth and dimension to the front drawers of your furniture. Dixie Belle Paint has the best chalk paint for blending paint on furniture in my opinion.

Nice Do! Just wanted to say HI! from Nova Scotia, Canada... our little bitty corner of the world!
You make blending look so easy :) Dixie Bell sadly isn't in Canada yet but can't wait to try all these fabulous products out when it is! Love your videos, plus you're such a treasure to listen to with that cutsie little southern sounding accent you have :)) Take care and keep up the good work!
StaceyMacKenzie10 Ha! Stacey you’re too sweet! I like the way you guys say dollar. 😂
Hey, I just heard that Dixie is available in Canada or is going to be really quickly. ❤️ You’re gonna love it all!
Do Dodson Designs lol now you must knowwww I'm standing here outloud, goin'... "dollar... dolllllar... dollarrr" scratchin my head 😂😂😂
Ya i know, lol.
Pediatric nurse for 21 years. retired early because of stress . Went to painting furniture. Loving it. Though I do miss my patients and families :-(
Hello from the Carolinas..... Retired and trying to get to do all the crafts I never had time for when I worked..... Thank you for this.
Painting and doing all kinds of crafts has helped me therapeutically.
Thanks for the tutorial! I am new to painting furniture so it is a great help. I caught that you said your husband wouldn't like you adding highlights to blend furniture. If I had a husband like that I would blend everything. ;-)
Thanks for sharing your technique . Been painting furniture for years but can always learn something new . And yes it therapy for me as well.
Just watching for the first time . Very enjoyable to watch you . I’m retired law enforcement, ( dispatching ) from the fifth largest
City In California. I paint for therapy , but I sell what I paint . Just tried Dixie Bell for the first time and I’m amazed! I use a high quality clay based paint , which I love , but Dixie Bell is very different and I’m loving it .
Thank you for sharing! I love how well you explain Dixie Belle products and I'm about to go grab me some Dixie Belle in a little bit 😁.
Commenting from my husband's UA-cam...I'm Melinda Hall, RN, from Lake, MS. Great to know you are a nurse.
Hi Melinda! So glad you stopped by. I always found it interesting that a lot of nurses were creative, but looking back it makes total sense. We have to be creative in many circumstances. Creative with time and ingenuity.
Great video and love your hair.
Hello. I’m watching from California looking forward to learning from you. I’ll be following for now on. The videos are great
Hello! I'm so happy I found you...just today!!! Love it!!!

Hi, iam from Puerto Rico but i live in North Carolina, i try to start my business painting furniture, Nice to meet you, Bless you
Hi Do! I watch your videos from Finland.I love to try different paint technics an enjoy your videos.
Tiina Trimeloni Hi Tiina! I’m so happy you joined me. Thanks for hanging out with me. ❤️ See ya in the next video.
I love cling on brushes and I need a spray mister. Awesome!
It's a great tool for blending. Happy painting! :)
Lynette Johnson where can I find that water mister?
Thank you for sharing.
Hi Do. Thank you for the video. INSTANT FAN! I've never used Dixie Belle paints. I'm accustomed to sanding between coats of paint and sealant but there was no mention of such in your video! Does the Dixie belle self level? The time saved would be fantastic if I didnt have to fight brush strokes. I would love a sealant that doesn't result in bubbles when applied with a sponge.
Hi Do ! just to say hi from yorkshire england xx
Please Please do a tutorial on how you painted the doors/cabinets in your shop.
Thank you for explaining how to apply the Gator Hide finish. Great video!
Thank you Mz Queen! Cute name. Wear your crown proudly. :)
Hi Do, first time watching. I'm in Ireland and find it really expensive to buy these products. That being said I've never seen any one make blending so easy.. I've watched hours trying to perfect the technique. Thank you 😊❤️ Will be subscribing and now binge watching your videos 😅I really should start painting 😂
So glad you found me, Cerena! You can follow me over on my blog too where I share all my makeovers. CLICK HERE to see my newest makeover. www.dododsondesigns.com/blog/ Happy painting! xo :)
Hello first time. From North Carolina.
I have a table and china cabinet/hutch I want to refinish for our new home in florida. I want to do a casual beach/coastal vibe and was thinking of white washing or straight up painting them. The furniture is a mix of solid wood (hutch & table) and chairs solid wood in a blonde stain with some sort of light varnish finish on top. Suggestions? Thanks.
Love your technique. I am going to try this on my desk. Thanks for sharing.
Hello from England ❤️
I am just beginning, and love your videos. What kind of chair are you rolling around in?
Jill Newman it’s an old office chair that I cleaned up. Works well for painting furniture.
Beautiful work! Just one question about the light tip....So do you wear the same color top as what you are painting? Didn't understand what you were saying. PS...I like to start making videos and just wanted to understand the tip. Thanks
Hi
I love your work. This might be a silly question. Do you use water in the spray bottle or ? when you spray your furniture to blend another colour.
Never a silly question. Yes ma’am I do. I use bottled water with Dixie Belle’s chalk mineral paint.
Great Do!! Could I use any CHALK paint to apply your technique? Thanks
I would recommend Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint for the best results. But you most certainly can try others. Paint formulas can vary. Order my favorites Dixie Belle products here!

Hello from Van Lear KY
What size and shape Cling On brush? are you using? Where do you get them?
Is the bush you are using round?? If so, is this brush also used for the wax application
Hi Patricia! Yes, this brush is a Cling On. I don't use the Cling On for wax. Here is an affiliate link for the brush I use the most for large wax applications. I keep my brushes separate for paint. Hope this helps. :) amzn.to/39VwMuI
Katy TX. I'm a newbie.
❤
Your such a pretty lady, very beautiful.
Thank you!
What is the name of the spray which you used while you were painting?
I use a spray mist bottle with water to blend my water-based chalky paints. Here is my affiliate link for Amazon. amzn.to/3aRqdJv
Hi Do. How come you don’t take the drawers out when you’re painting
HELLO FROM GREECE
Hello! Thanks for joining.
Any suggestions for chairs with wheels for easy of mobility while painting, especially for those with lower back problems?
Girl yes! I Have back problems too. I use the office chairs to sit in and roll around. They work great. No way I can sit on the floor.
Being new to painting furniture you are the first person that I've seen do the drawers individually. Most people slap the paint all over at one time, handles and all. I've got a beautiful vintage dresser that I have painted Caviar and am now struggling with the top of it. Originally it had a marble top which was long gone so now I have a raw wood top. I'd like to stain a deep cherry but stains scare me. Any suggestions? Thank you

Hi From Australia
Who else needs a chair like Do's? Me!
I looked on the website and nothing showed up for the Cling on paint. where would I find that or do I have the wrong name? Thank You in advance
Hi Paula, it’s a Cling on paintbrush. You can find them on Amazon. The paint is Dixie Belle. There a link in the description to help you find where to purchase. Sorry for the confusion. Happy painting. 🙂

Do you do the mud before or after white lightening?
After. Just make sure you wipe the furniture with water after white lightning. 👍
Do Dodson Designs thank you so much!
I like u are looking and working careful ,in other videos is fast fast
20:50 blending part
Thank you. Too much talking and selling paint
Wish you would’ve told us to brush she is using. nowhere to be found in the transcript or in the notes
Hey Do, your membership link doesn’t work
Renee Santhon thank you letting me know. I’ll get that fixed.
Do Dodson Designs 👌
#replay from kansas
Hi there Angela, (probably my hubbs account though) watching from boston(ish) Ma..inspiring, love the personality 🤗...
10 minutes before she starts painting, 21 minutes before she starts actually blending.
I had to keep fast forwarding to get to the blending. I think some do videos because they love to yap, and yap, and yap.. this one is a yapper for sure.
What is the community or information you have on helping women start their own business is

Hey what about us guys. I'd love to do this and turn it into a business.

Thank you for the info! Skipped ahead to the actual painting part👍
This is kinda off the wall but you wouldn't happen to have a Twitter account named Dixie Doolittle12??
No, that's not me. But you can follow me here. twitter.com/DoDodson1
@@DoDodsonDesigns ok thanks. I love ur channel ur just amazing. Could you please tell me if I already waxed a piece of furniture if I could use Dixie bell patina overtop the wax?? I would really appreciate if you could tell me that cause I'm having a hard time finding the answer. Thanks so much and have a great day♥️
Lots of interruptions on this video with the ads it’s very annoying
FYI- more than just “ women” paint furniture and have a career out of it.
Yes more than women paint, however she chose to be an advocate for women though...so that is her choice.
Holly Henderson relax okay? I have the right to speak my opinion. I wasn’t attacking her. I was just saying. You shouldn’t have exclude and entire gender. I’m a hardcore Feminist. But you just showed us ALL that anyone can be rude and hostile for no reason at all. So take a bow. Also, if that’s how u wanna go, then I too choose to be an advocate for men who paint. You must have a lot of anger and hate in your life if you choose to attack people just for having an opinion and stating FACTS. Tip of the day holly, RELAX!!!!! Maybe even see someone for your anger. It would do us all a lot of good.
@@robbiemcclure1531 no you are right. I apologize. I don't have anger with my life. I just took it wrong. I do work in a position where sometimes men get ahead with less work and maybe that's where it's coming from. I apologize again.
Holly Henderson thank you. I appreciate and accept your apology. That shows a lot of character and shows that you’re mature. Thank you so much. It means a lot. I work very hard and trying to open my own business is very hard too. I paint furniture for a living and dedicate my entire life to it. I understand what you’re saying so I do see where you’re coming from. That can be very very true. Just not in this case. Thank u again for your apology!!!!!! Wish u the best holly!
Yuck. You lost me at Dixie Belle. Unsubscribed.
Susan Crowe I guess it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
