*Armoire Makeover* Plus Painting Tips and Tricks!

- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- Hello UA-cam Friends! In today's video I am sharing how I transformed my armoire by layering paint.
I did not film a super detailed step by step for this particular project. I do have other videos that show in detail how I do my paint finishes. However, the second portion of the video explains tips and tricks on how to practice and get this very same look, but on sample pieces of wood so you can perfect your paint finish before you tackle a large piece of furniture or your cabinetry, such as the kitchen and bathroom!
I hope you enjoy this video and it inspires you to recreate furniture pieces and cabinetry in your home for a fresh new look without spending lots of your hard earned money. Paint can transform almost anything.
Please give me a "Like" if you enjoyed this video or you found it helpful is some way. Share it with friends and family on social media. I would love to hear from you in the comment section below! And I would also be tickled if you subscribed to my channel and join our UA-cam family. There are so many amazing people who watch and comment. I am blessed and honored to have so much support on my channel, so THANK YOU so much!
I wish you all the best! See you in the next video!

Deborah

You have inspired me to tackle a curio cabinet I have been putting off. Thank you for the tips and inspiration.
Great advice I appreciate it. I tend to get intimidated so the more I learn the more adventurous I’m willing to be!

WOW!it turned out beautiful!!thanx for the tips,your very talented,creative,👍✨🌟
Thank you for sharing 💕
Great tutorial that's why I love your channel ❤️
Love it and thanks for all of the helpful tips!!
It turned out beautiful Deborah! You seem a lot like myself when it comes to painting. I love a distressed look on furniture. I also make my own chalk paint as well as mix paint colors from leftover paints that I have around the house. Tfw!
I somehow missed this when it first came out. Glad to see it now, though. I hope to be doing some of this in the new year. Love how it turned out. Thanks for the instructions!
you did a great job ! just beautiful
Thank you Bev! Xoxoxo
😊🖐🏻👍🏻 thanks for the demonstration’s 👍🏻

You inspire me more than I can say. I have been toying with the idea of painting our kitchen cabinets but am a little overwhelmed at the concept. Your idea of a practice piece is giving me the kick in my keester that I need. I can buy a cabinet door at the Restore and practice removing the finish, chalk painting, picking colors etc. before I begin work on our cabinets. GENIUS!! That way I won't feel so nervous. Practice makes perfect, after all ;) Thanks so much for the inspiration.
I have an armoire I've painted watch your technique I definitely need to use the glaze to help catch the creases and give it more character. Thank you. I love how yours turned out.🤗
Looks Amazing! Absolutely beautiful work as always!!! Hope all is well
Thank you Joe! I have been watching your videos and giving a thumbs up! I need to comment on a couple. I've been a busy bee with this house. Take care and I look forward to your next video as always! Xoxoxo
@@thepaintedsouth hey Deborah dont worry about that.i do the same thing, theres just too much going on. I'm sitting here now because MaryAnn bought be this 17 in one ladder and it just came crashing down on both my feet. I'm hoping there just bruised because this could put an end to my Christmas decorating plans..ugh
@@LifeWithMaryAnnJoe Oh no!!! I hope they (your feet) are ok!? At least you have time to heal since you started early. You're off to a great start with all the gingerbread pieces. But, I know you go ALL OUT, which I love, so you need a lot of time. Plus, you DIY a lot of you decorations and that takes time as well. We got ripped off for $1k by the last deck guy so we'll have to take him to court, if we even bother. 🤦♀️ So, my husband is building it and almost cut the tip of his finger off with a saw. He doesn't even know how it happened. It was so fast. A nice surprise trip to the ER, none the less. But, he is ok and the deck is looking great! He is a perfectionist. Anyway, best wishes to you. Hang in there for the rest of 2020! 😂 Lord help us all! Lol. Xoxoxo
@@thepaintedsouth oh God good things hes ok
I always have that fear, but more BS with this year, I just cant deal with it anymore. Court is never fun and either is the ER..blah. I'm icing them now so I'll see what I have to do...thanks for teaching out.
you dud a beautiful job on the armoire.
Thank you Barbara! 🤗 Xoxoxo
Excellent job. New to your channel and now I have to catch up on all your videos. Cheers.🍸🍸
The armoire turned out gorgeous!!!! I could have watched an hour long video of you painting!!!!!! Are you going to show us the fireplace??? Love your tips! Very helpful! Thank you. ❤️ your channel!
Beautiful! I love the look and from where it was till now? Wow!🥵😳😇
Just an FYI Sometimes you can go to Home Depot or Lowes and they have a scrap pile and maybe find some of that wood or something very close to it. I love your videos
Armoire looks pretty. Afraid to try it myself. I do love to watch you paint items, love how they turn out, always beautiful. Are you still going to move? Pat in NC
Hi Deborah. As always, beautiful job. Your calm voice and easy painting style are great. You are an excellent teacher. You mentioned home renovations. Are you still considering selling your home? Blessings to all XO
It’s almost like you read my mind .I havnt painted any furniture in ages & I will , like you said , play around with a old wood chair we have on patio . I need to make time for that because I find it therapeutic . I have paint laying around & like you said every things so expensive nowdays
I think the hard part is just getting set up and getting started. It is definitely therapeutic. I am also a project person and I love seeing before and after photos! Yes. Everything is crazy expensive. I'm going to upcycle my Christmas decor this year and try not to buy too much. Maybe a few new things, but I'm trying to mostly use what I have this year while still making it look different. Happy painting! 🧡
I loved the end result of your armoire. Have you ever painted over a leather top desk? Would love see to hear your technique. I love your videos! Mary Ballantyne
Very nice!!! The armoire turned out beautifully! I used Anne Sloan Paris grey once on an old bed. I practiced using the dark wax. I never liked the way mine turned out. Mine looked dirty. lol I just left the Paris Grey. I have wondered if I would have better luck with a glaze. I do like the darker color in the groves. I love watching you and yours always turns out beautifully. Thanks for all your wonderful tips.
Thank you Benita! I love Annie Sloan's paints. They are such great quality. Dark wax can definitely make things look dirty. Did you coat it with clear first? That usually allows you to control the dark wax when it is applied over clear. I like glazes because they can be thinned down and toned with paint and are easier to work with. I hope you have an wonderful week! Xoxoxo
I love the paint colors together that the choices you’ve made I like them very much and I love to paint furniture and change it totally many colors sand it down you have a beautiful piece of furniture with it if it has grooves in it here in there what did you suggest if you have a flat piece of furniture and no no moldings what do you suggest on getting that
Hi Sandi! I just replied on your other post. I will also try to do a video on flat surfaces. Thanks! Xoxoxo
Your painting techniques are so beautiful. What kind of glaze do you use?
Good evening! Thank you! I love the Rustoleum Decorative glaze in Java Brown, but there are so many others I haven't tried yet. I definitely want to expand my materials list, but the Java Brown has been great for almost every project I've done so far. It lasts a long time, too! Hope that helps! 🤗 Xoxoxo
Beautiful armoire.never one of prettiest ive seen..wish u could help me at my house!!
Love it , ❤️ do you make your own Chalk paint ? And what do you use . Thank you.
She mixes plaster of Paris with paint
Silly question but does the wax wear off eventually? Liked your samples and different technique. Also with wax or glaze, do you seal them?
Simply Beautiful!
Love the way the cabinet came out TFS. Have a great day ❤️💖🥰
Love the armoire! Thank you for the tip of painting the pieces of molding. That’s a great idea!!! You do amazing work. Hugs!! 🤗
Thank you Donna! Lumber prices are up so much, as I'm sure you and James know! I am definitely keeping my eye out for scrap wood for projects when I can! I hope you two have a wonderful and blessed week! Xoxoxo
What a great idea to practise on those scraps of wood. We just threw out excess trim pieces. What a lost opportunity for me. ☹
Uh oh! Keep it in mind next time! Or maybe a friend is working on a project. 😬 It's hard to keep scraps laying around, but I have a little crate I keep them in. My husband keeps a lot of scrap, also. Wood has gotten crazy expensive. Have a fabulous week! Xoxoxo
The cabinet turned out beautifully! Love it!❤❤
Your armoire makeover is stunning! I love, love all of your layering tutorials and tutorials. Thank you so much for inspiring others.
I always look forward to all of your videos. I have learned so much! It gets me inspired to try new things. Thank you
Classy outcome. I need to practice your patience in selecting color when I tackle my next project.
Question what do y mean a glaze over it. I’m new to the painting world. I have a Armoire I want to paint so any info y could give me would be much appreciated. Thks😊😊
When you paint those block samples you could write the paint color & technique in the back, including glaze and wax.
You have taught me so much. Thank you!
Thank you for the idea of painting on wood pieces before you actually attempt a project. This is exactly what I needed. I plan on painting my dinning room chairs but have been afraid to just jump right in. I'm heading to habitat for humanity or thrift store to see if they have a piece of furniture that is close to what my chairs look like so I can practice first. The Armoire is beautiful.
Thank you Lisa! I'm so glad you liked the test sample idea. Dining room chairs are a lot of work, but will be gorgeous painted! 😍 Make sure you use a good top coat. (2-3 coats, ideally) Best wishes and I hope they turn out beautifully! ❤ Xoxoxo
Thank you for the painting tips. Since I’ve been watching your channel , this armoire is probably my favorite. I love French style looking furniture and this piece reminded me of just that.! ❤️ it!
I’m not sure if I heard you say if you used a glaze? I want to do the paneling in my large den and kitchen and was wondering if you have a video on you’re technique in you’re dining room?
Hi JJ! Unfortunately, we did the dining room before I started my channel, but I am going to be adjusting the color soon and planned on sharing that in a video so I can show the process. Do you have tongue and groove paneling? Or like my dining room? Xoxoxo
@@thepaintedsouth Hi Debra, I don’t know the spelling of you’re name? My house was built in 1983 and has beautiful formal paneling in the living room and 3 tiered fireplace, very different but beautiful! The den has corner to corner bulk ceiling beams, I/2 wall paneling clear thru den, about 18x22, kitchen and it goes thru to a 6’ w 12’ hall, all 1/2 paneling into even the dining room and entry hall! ALOT of 1/2 paneling in traditional color, not honey a little richer! I wanted to do the treatment you did on one of you’re blocks with the light gray over the traditional color. I think I want to put a med. glaze not to heavy.
I have an ornate armoire sitting in my garage that I’ve been wanting to paint with some kind of technique. Here in the Texas Hill Country it is so dusty and my dark wood bedroom set shows dust so bad. My experiment was supposed to be the armoire. Duh! Still sitting there after 2 years. I’m scared to touch it. My goal was to use it to test paint on since we weren’t using it at the moment. Eventually I wanted to repaint my whole bedroom set to match the armoire. Hopefully a color that would show dust a little less. What color would work? I thought about a pale gray or a beige with darker glaze or something in all the crevices.
Hi Diane! Happy Thanksgiving! An ornate armoire is the PEFECT piece to use this layering technique. Any color with glaze will help hide dust. I have some tables I painted layers in shades of gray (not 50... lol), then distressed them, used java brown glaze and they look great and match anything. The layering, distressing, glaze and topcoat work on anything with any color combo. Creamy, off white looks great also. I try to stay away from super bright whites, but that's just my preference. I hope your project turns out great! Go for it! Xoxoxo, Deborah
I love the way you paint, I could watch you paint all day! I love the distressed look, it takes furniture to another whole level. Thanks for sharing Deborah! xoxo
Your armoire turned out beautiful, as usual! And thanks so much for the painting tips. So helpful! Wish I’d seen the painting tips before I painted a long shelf the WRONG way and struggled to correct it. It turned out pretty, but I had to work hard to achieve the look that I wanted. Your videos are always so amazing and helpful.
Thank You! So interesting to learn about your technique!!!!
Thanks for sharing! The cabinet turned out beautifully. What a fabulous idea about using trim pieces for practice! I have a vintage corner cabinet I want to paint. It is a very orange wood finish now, but I want it layered. Do you have any recommendations for a dark or almost black finish?
I like how the armoire turned out, other than the hardware.
This is the look I was talking about a couple of videos back. Thank you so much for sharing your process on how to achieve this look. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Your best how to! This takes my furniture making to a new level.
Did you end up getting the house?
The painting techniques portion was so helpful! Thank you.💫
You're welcome! So glad you found it helpful. 😬 Xoxoxo
Thank you for all your tips on the distressing very helpful! I have a very old mantle that my husband painted white and I wanted it distressed because all of my things are rustic so I will be getting some of the darker glaze for sure for all the ornate details on it! It has the mirror with a top shelf over it to! Love the older pieces.♥️
That sounds beautiful, Marilyn! I have the same issue when I paint anything bright white. It just clashes with everything else in my house. I really like the Rustoleum glaze in Java Brown, but it can make white look dirty sometimes. You can water it down and add a little paint if you need to to tone the color. Best wishes! Xoxoxo
I’m sorry for the bad grammar I like pieces of molding on it but how do you get the look if it is flat furniture meaning there is no molding
Hi Sandi! That is a great question! I actually do the exact same technique on flats surfaces. When you layer the paint, it will create texture for the glaze to settle into and give the same effect. Do you have a piece in mind you wanted to paint? Xoxoxo
Very nice ✿✿✿ 💝😋🧨
My daughter does painting like yours but not as extensive so I want to share it with both my daughters and granddaughters. They will gleem a lot of information and trust me they will use it. Thank you for sharing this Deborah!
Blessings
Turned out beautiful...I personally would have loved for you to refrain from painting that gorgeous hardware... so I was wondering what made you decide to paint the hardware or did you know going into it that you were going to do that...I love to know about the thought process artists use...Thank you. I enjoy your channel.
Your “drag brush” demonstration made me think of Moira and David making a cake on Schitts Creek. David mixing ingredients: “What do you mean?” Moira: “You just fold it in, David! I don’t know how I could be more clear.”
"You just drag it, David! Drag it across. Do I have to tell you everything?" 😂
This was really helpful. Love seeing the layers,how to build them...wax them as well as the techniques to remove and distress
Yes, I've always been afraid to use different paints but like the idea of trying them on scrap wood pieces!!!
Hi Julie! I'm so glad you found it helpful. I tried to explain as best as I could. I'm not an expert, but I certainly have a lot of practice. Lol. I hope you have an amazing week! 🧡 Xoxoxo
Was so glad to watch this right away. Thanks for all the tips
Love how the armoire turned out. You are amazing with paint. Tfs
Thank you so much, Anne! Nice to hear from you! 🤗❤ Xoxoxo
Great tips!
Your armoire is simply stunning, Deborah! Absolutely beautiful:)!!
Thanks so much for showing us a variety of options and techniques ~
always fun to play with paint!
Many hugs, ~Susan
Thank you Susan! It is definitely fun to play with paint! Endless options. 😉 Hope you have a blessed week! Xoxoxo
This really makes me want to paint my 80s honey oak kitchen cabinets a creamy white with a dark glaze. Too bad I'm a renter. 🙃
👀😍👍🏾
I love the cabinet. I want to do one of mine but I’m scared.
Don't be scared. LOL. You don't like how it turned out try again.Deborah, thank you once again for sharing your painting skills. I love the armoire. God bless.🍂🍁🍂
I like the way u mix the paints but I just can't do it! It stayed beautiful!😍
Beautiful!
Love it
