Ideally, use the paint stripper in the crevasses before doing the general sanding.
I heard a tip the other day that when painting over tape, its good to paint a layer with the base colour first, let that bleed under and dry, and then do your top colour. That should give you a much cleaner line.
Looks amazing at the end but I’m truly a firm believer In the antique/ original look being best. But if you wanted a modern mix where the off set style gave it an extra dash of unique then you did it! For what you were going for it was great!!
I was onboard until he pulled out the paint. Quickest way to ruin fine wood furniture is to paint it.
May I ask why? I want to learn about refurbishing old furniture and have seen a couple of these comments in several videos but no one has said why. Is it non removable afterwards? Would staining be better?
If you want to try an arrow on another piece of furniture, use the green Frog tape. I’ve used it to paint a focal wall, and you’ll be very happy with the result. Good job! I love it!
Keep it natural and neutral you'll attract a wider market
A sand blaster is great on those carved areas. French Provencial stands alone but the touch of contrast "works."
Holy shiite, those drawers look terrible. Should have made them match the rest of the piece.
Thank you for the educational video. I've always wanted to redo old furniture to whatever damn look I want to. I needed a video that gave me the basics along with some hints, and that's what I got from this video. Quick, too. If I wanted to spend 2 hours educating myself, I wouldn't have watched this one. It wasn't intended to. AND it wasn't about what he wanted to do to what. Geez people. He can do whatever that f&^* he wants and there shall be no judgement. Good job!
How long did this take you to restore? I'm thinking about doing something like this myself, and have no idea how much time I should expect to take with it.
Great project. Looks awesome. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!

I am not a great fan of painting furniture unless it is done in a very skilled way but this project seems to have come out decently...except for the black notch in the upper drawer. Maybe a little to creative. Overall it is a quick and decent job ready to resell.
Great job!! Looks awesome!
Thank you! :)
Spray the base color before the accent color. Every tape I’ve used somewhat allows the paint to get under the tape. The prespray with the base color becomes the bleed through which disappears. Then the accent color makes a much cleaner line.
That looks God Aweful
After you applied the stain are you suppose to sand it with 220 grit sandpaper? Idk. Just asking for my own FYI.
I am sorry to say that you a terrible job! Please have some respect for wood and restoration process.
👏👏👏I love it 👍🙌🙌
Thank you!
Should have painted the groves in the drawers black to match the hardware
I don't understand why you would take a beautiful antique piece and 'modernize' it. I don't think it improves it at all. It was designed with a specific look suited for that time period. It's not meant to be modern.
The white drawers are are such a stark contrast to the dark stain.
Not only that, he replaced handles with boring and most generic modern ones, it is just a crime. I don't understand people like him. He says he likes aesthetics of it but then removes the most aesthetic part of it, the handles. He is like 1960s people who would cover ornate tiles with grey lino and call it an improvement.
it looked like shit bro. the new modern take is clean and not a rotted wood look. Wood can last forever but you need to take care of it. That shit looked bunk as fuck.
Oh my - why wouldn't you do the tops of the drawers?! You can see in the gap from the top that they aren't the same colour white and it looks crappy. You should have just saved yourself the trouble if you were going to paint the drawers and paint the whole thing. 100% you should have just stuck with the walnut stain on the entire piece.
He's a beginner don't be mean🤨
Dawg his first words are “this is my first time doing this” 😂
lmao
💖 promosm
that colour combination looks terrible
Dislight🧐☹️
The camera operator is drunk. I cannot watch this.
No offense, but that looks rubbish.
He made it how he likes it. Commenters who are hating the paint can get bent.
You cant teach taste i guess….
