Listening To The HATERS...No More Painted Furniture
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 гру 2023
- This video is sponsored by @DixieBellePaint. I'm taking notes from the HATERS and stripping paint off of this nightstand I use as a end table in my living room. I'll be using some stain to give it a rich, deep look to warm up my living room. Will the paint haters / wood lovers still come for me or will they like this furniture makeover? You be the judge!

I restored antiques as a living for 26 yrs, the thing is about those who complain?, A: most of them don't own anything above the cost of IKEA, or BOBs discount furniture.. they don't purchase antiques that are restored or broken themselves, and B: if people like you don't save, repair, and/or paint them, they end up in landfills, I personally have pulled beautiful wooden antiques from dumps and landfills, restored them to original and those people never showed up to purchase them?.. where were all those haters to purchase them before they headed to the landfill?.. yeah nowhere to be found, but easy to complain online about someone else saving them.
If they don't like painted furniture, they can find another channel to watch!!
Ignore the negative comments. It’s easy for people to fuss from behind the computer. If I don’t enjoy a content then I unsubscribe. I adore traditional antiques however some furniture just needs to be painted. Merry Christmas 🎄🙂
Thanks for your feedback and watching. 😊
I love wood! I was brought up in the 1970s in a household with parents who would buy second hand furniture at yard sales for our home. They would sigh sadly as they were stripping a piece of furniture in our garage that they had bought second hand and say, "Why did they paint this beautiful piece? The paint totally ruined it." It was instilled in me that paint ruins furniture. But, there is always a place for paint in my household. When there is just too much damage in the veneer for me to fix easily, I will paint and I love it!
Painting is therapy!!!!!! And creativity is a must!!! I’m almost positive that creativity offsets the onset of dementia.
I love these thoughts. Thanks for watching and sharing.
Which offsets what the fumes do!
As The Dude says: "Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man." 😁
(There's a time and place for painting and for staining and sometimes even for both on the SAME PROJECT )
I agree. To each their own. We all have different styles and tastes. Nothing is wrong or right. 😊
I'm a wood person myself. However, the type of painting that you are doing looks absolutely beautiful.
😊
Please don't listen to the hater's and keep painting!
I prefer painted over wood. I hope you keep painting ❤️.
I will! Just having a little fun with the negative comments I get. 😊
No way. Keep painting them. A lot of stuff from the 20th was fiberboard and hardboard anyways. Covering up any of that faux "speckled oak" grain is a public service.
I'll still paint. Just having a little fun with those negative comments I get. 😊
@@ChristinaMuscariIt doesn't matter what or how you do what you do, you'll always have to deal with critics.
Best practice is to ignore the negativity and just go about doing what you love and do best.
Love your content, whether application or advice, it's all valuable information you share with us all looking to progress further 😁♥️
My perspective is: Examine the piece closely before deciding whether to paint or restore. If it's a beautiful well-made piece w/lots of hardwood/hardwood veneer in good shape, keep as much of the beautiful wood showing as possible (maybe w/a lighter, more natural finish.) But if there's a lot of particle board, poplar, stained/damaged/missing veneer, then paint away!
So beautiful 👏👏👏
I love the way this turned out! It was cute before and now it has a third life! I love how you paint some things and also keep some wood pieces as well. ❤
Thank you. Love your thoughts and agree!
I realize that people who make art are happier and in a better mood, unlike the haters!!!! Hugs from Brazil!!!
It goes from country to modern elegant. Ty for the lesson
This piece turned out beautiful. I'm not a paint hater so please keep doing what you think is best for the piece.
ignore the negativity. Always beautiful work.
Both finishes are fine. Do it like you want to & don’t worry about people who prefer another method. I love both wood & painted furniture. But I hate when people think their way is the only way. Their tunnel vision is not a good thing.
paint is sometimes the right option but not all. When dealing with real wood, stain. but if its just mdf, plywood, particle board then paint away.
Way to much work for me , but fun to watch and you did a beautiful job!
Beautiful! The fluted pole wrap is the perfect touch - love the way the dark stain turned out! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Wishing you a blessed 2024! ❤
Nice! Dark and warm, but not RED looking or ORANGE OR YELLOW or GREY. Love this moody, chocolatey trend and hope it stays for a while. Much more neutral than other stain colours.
Thanks so much. I really like it.
I haven’t watched you before ….the title caught my eye. I only struggle when I see a creator ruin an antique. Some pieces have no business being painted. Covering walnut, tiger wood, real cherry, hickory, or mahogany….is a crime. Your piece looks fantastic.
It's amazing how you can take one piece of furniture and transform it with paint, stain & different hardware! I love it! In my opinion, whether you paint or whether you use stain on a piece, it's a matter of personal preference & sometimes the actual piece of furniture may dictate which method is best. I have always enjoyed your work Christina. Thank you! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and your family. May 2024 bring you many blessings & golden opportunities for growth!
Love your thoughts! I will definitely keep doing both. Just having a little fun with the negative comments.
I have to admit I love the stain on this piece; elevates the look IMHO. However, sometimes paint is necessary to cover damaged wood/veneer/etc. I also love how you use color to achieve drama. And besides, you're the one doing the work, so you should have the choice of how you redo a piece. They all turn out gorgeous! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!!🎄🎄🎄
I 100% agree you are the creator!
It looks AMAZING!!!!!
Sometimes painting is necessary…Idc what they talking about lol
I agree. Just having a bit of fun with those negative comments.
Wow, amazing work!
Love the dark stain. You do a great job on painted pieces. The only time I would rather not see paint is on MCM or antiques. I think pressed board gets an instant pass for paint. Unless your doing veneer or something like that. 🤷♀️
Good point!
Oh, lovely job.
I love ALL your restorations! This is beautiful ❣️
Thank you so much!
I will never understand. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but when it comes right down to it - it's YOUR furniture pieces, it's YOUR time, effort and hardwork, it is either YOUR house or YOUR sales listing, AND it's YOUR video that not one single person commenting has been forced to watch upon penalty of death.
All I see is the word YOUR'S, which means that it's no one else's business what you choose to do or how you choose to do it, in the end.
I absolutely love that!!
Such a rich color…beautiful! ❤❤❤
I think so too!
It's beautiful. The only detail was whey you cut the pull rap was to center it and take eqaul cuts off both sides. Otherwise they look uneven. Not sure if I'm explaining myself but, it's my OCD. :) Nice job. By the way, I love the painted look too!
I get it.
What a beautiful piece!
Thank you very much!
Merry Christmas! Beautiful makeover!
Beautiful!
480k subscribers says a lot! You're doing just great.
Merry Christmas! I love how that turned out so rich and beautiful, refresh is nice!
Love the results. As always, you give great, detailed instructions about what works and what doesn't. I have a few pending projects and this one had plenty of inspiration. Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year to you!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Wow I love it!!!
Looks great Christina! Also love paint!! Merry Christmas! 🥰🥰
Beautiful.....I love the way this turned out. Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy New Year 🎉 to you as well.
This piece is gorgeous! And you gave me some great ideas for my future projects!
Merry Xmas Christina ❤ you do you, whether painting or not. Another great flip!
Christina, that turned out great - I love the two stain look and those drawer pulls. Good job! Happy Holidays to you and your viewers.
WOW! Beautiful transformation! Great tutorial on all of your steps as well.
Love the front slats you added. Color very stylish. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
This piece looks so nice.
Beautiful piece when you finished. I thought it was pretty before but love the brass pulls. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Hi, I love that you redid the nightstand, I’m loving real wood myself, tired of painting it. Paint has its place but I’m into preserving the natural look with stains and new hardware. And Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎉❤
Beautiful! I love it! Great job! ❤. Merry Christmas and happy New Year!
Thank you!
Love it!
Thanks!!
Very nice! Enjoyed relaxing while watching you work to transform that end table. I'm debating the wood vs paint for the maple furniture I'm updating. Big decision! 😢
Stunning!
Thank you! 😊
Awesome reflip, love that caned look.
Thanks, Dar.
Love it
extremely nice!
Hi !! I watch you all the time. I work at Port Canaveral and I’m sure I just got your family on the Allure of the Seas. !! If that wasn’t you I apologize but I think it was I wish I didn’t second guess myself. Have a great time! Happy new year!
That was us!!! Did you check our passports? I would have loved to give you a hug if that is allowed 🤣
It came out great I ❤️it Merry Xmas to u have a blessed New Year ❤️🌹✌️🇺🇸
I really like the dark color.
Дуже гарно. Ви молодець!
Hi Christina, natural wood look is making a comeback and as a furniture refinisher I have immensely enjoyed all the creative painted pieces from you, Brandy, and Katia! However; I am not going to lie....Im rather bored with the painted look and am enjoying bringing the natural wood look back into my craft.
Nice. Thanks for watching.
Can you block comments and watchers on UA-cam? Because that's what needs to happen. It's your life and your business. You do a great job and you need to ignore them.
I've learned to live with them. I block people that personally attack me or others, but negative feedback about my work I just ignore and welcome the engagement it brings.
It's beautiful both ways! Although the way it looks now makes me think of dark chocolate, and now I'm hungry. 😅 But thank you so much for the comment about getting the paint off! As a beginner, I get discouraged whenever the sanding/stripping/prepping takes 3x longer than I thought it would.
Removing paint is a tedious job, but very satisfying like weeding. 😉
I have a quaint brown vintage bedside table, I like it but my husband hate it ! Wonder if you could suggest what to do to upgrade it to look refreshing &less vintage so I can still convince him to keep it ? Can I directly paint it ? If so any recommendations for the product ? Btw, I live in Tuscany italy 🇮🇹 - appreciated your professional advise - happy weekend and big hugs !
Very cute.
Thank you! 😊
I like painted furniture.
Looks yummy!
Thank you 😋
Beautiful work! Are gel stains typically oil based?? Or are there some they are water based? Newbie here. Lol
Yes, there are some that are oil based. You just need to check the label to see.
Love what you do my dear lady!!
Can I ask , what was that color you were stripping? I’m looking for a color like this for my kitchen cabinets, and can I use it for cabinets , if you happen to know the answer to it ! 😍thank you in advance for your response . Keep doing what you like . 👏👏💃🏻🙏🌺
It’s Fusion Bayberry.
why listen to "woodlovers" ? They are just snobs. Keep painting ! Dont listen to haters. Dont bother.
Just having a little fun with the negative comments. I'm going to keep painting! 😊
Can you put a water-based gel over paint? I have a hand rail I want dark, and I really don't want to strip it.
I don't think you will like the look over paint. I don't think it will look like wood. Sorry.
How do u sharpen your carbide scraper blade or do u have to replace it with a new one?
I haven't had to sharpen or replace yet. They are rated for 5,000 sq. feet of scrapping.
Paint paint paint paint - still love stain with really nice wood.
I'll keep painting. Just having a little fun with the negative comments.
Hi, unrelated to this particular video but how do you avoid brush strokes when applying dB clear coat?I tried to apply as light as possible but it dries with the brush strokes.
Try spraying it on with a paint sprayer instead of using a brush. Also make sure you use a synthetic paint brush. They help prevent brush strokes. Hope this helps. 😊
@@m.jaquarius8365 thank you for the advice 🙌
You can lightly sand with fine sandpaper in between coats to help as well. And I find a foam brush helps with this as well. The FLAT version will show less brush strokes, too
Quedó bonito ,pero antes estaba bien tambien
News flash:: whispering: they’re not gonna like this either. 🤷🏽♀️ Keep doing what you do and remember some will love it and some will not. I can’t understand why so many people who hate painted furniture follow people who paint furniture. 😅
🤣 It's all good. I like to paint and I like stain. Just having a little fun with this title and headline.
And I hate the look of most wood 🤷♀️ Do what you like and forget everyone else.
So true! Just having fun with the negative comments.
12 million tons of furniture goes to the dumps each year. If you didn’t refinish these pieces they would be going there too.
Preach!
What?!
Really, LOL! 🙄🙃🤔
You'll never make everyone happy. I personally like the painted one better. I wouldn't listen to any haters. Do what makes you happy. Haters are welcome to unsubscribe in my opinion. That is why there is chocolate and vanilla. Merry Christmas!
Your stain and wax, is it food friendly? I know you say water safe. But just wondering about the other part.
This one is not food safe.
@@ChristinaMuscari would it be safe to paint cabinets for a kitchen and dining area? Or would you recommend something else that is food safe since it is close to food? Just trying to find the best paint that I can use in a kitchen/dining area but also in bathroom areas.
I have found through the years these people are ignorant of the amazing history of painted furniture due to a lack of education and the inability to travel. In this instance it’s education as you see they like a “real wood” finish. Next there’s the ridiculous notion paint “destroys” wood. lol! It always makes me laugh because ornate, painted, gilded furniture was a sign of wealth and displayed artistic expression and appreciation and was sought out by Kings and aristocracy worldwide. I love these comments you know the whole part that they like furniture from real trees as opposed to fake trees I guess. lol
Not to mention they probably love the Scandi style, which is full of painted furniture...
I like the mix of wood and painted areas.do If it is possible a rare wood top - or white washed- - and painted sides and base. It depends of the special situation of the piece... ❤❤
All good points. Thanks for watching.
Hmmm
Painted furniture doesn't bother me unless its a true antique.
I get that. Thanks for watching.
My 88 year old mother was buying up cheap vintage garage sale furniture 20 years ago...I still have a piece she painted and dated the year '2005'. The style she did then is as dated looking now as these painted pieces y'all are doing right now will look soon enough.
All these flippers painting goodwill finds need to realize it's just not "wood working" or "furniture refurbishing" it is d.i.y. arts and crafts.
That is what happens with trends. They come and go.
@@ChristinaMuscari and that's why traditional wood never goes out of style. Since beginning of time.
What the haters don't understand is that not all furniture from the 20th Century was made with the best wood, by the best craftsmen. And as another commenter said, so much of it is press board and fibreboard. Pain away.
I cringe, though, when someone takes a beautifully preserved, true antique, and dolls it up like a wh*re. You know, gaudy colors, lots of "gold"...I unsubscribed to one YTer when she did that. You can NEVER get that gorgeous glow a true, preserved antique has.
You keep painting the uglies.
Thanks for your thoughts and thanks for watching.
Not all wood pieces are worth refinishing - too much veneer damage. So why not paint them.
It's not that painting furniture is some kind of sin. It's which pieces get painted sometimes. Saw someone on a different channel paint over a piece built out of mahogany. That's just wrong all day long. I'm furniture builder as well as an upcycler. Figure out what you're working with instead of instinctively getting out the paint can. Sometimes it's better to let the wood tell its story. After all, it took decades - and in some cases, hundreds - of years to develop that story.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Love it!
Thanks!!
