I recently painted our front door with Dixie Belle Vintage Duck Egg and it is beautiful. We have comments from people who want to know about using Dixie Belle Paints. I melt every time I walk to our door...it is gorgeous!
If you will put Vaseline around the top of the jar after you open it, it won’t stick and you can open the jar with no problem!
The nightstands look so nice. You make it look so easy. Great job Amy! Love and happiness, Teresa
Thanks Teresa :) I'm really happy with how these turned out. I didn't want anything drastic, just something to highlight an soften the look. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a GREAT weekend! HUGS :)
An excellent video thanku so very much for sharing, this is the look I am going for ona dresser hope it turns out as lovely as yours 😊
I love your videos. You explain everything so easily. I love these nightstands.
Thank you !! So happy you liked the video and the night stands. It was a fun project :) HUGS !!
fashiontoppings I have a very similar style cabinet I’m going to try this on. I hope it comes out ok. I need to get that brush.
Very nice blending
Not sure how to spell it... but what are the "fifo bottles" you referred to?
Fifo: Stands for First In First Out bottles. They are normally used as restaurant condiment bottles, but furniture painters like them for storing and dispensing their paint as well. You can find them on Amazon.
great tutorial
Thanks for the video! Were it a year ago, prior to doing my wall unit (similarly styled to your pieces), would've attempted this look. Love the subtlety. Can see where one might feel the need to keep tweaking...and tweaking. LOL Who'd've thought, when you were sharing thrift store finds from the DR table of your previous house, or biding time while packed into the townhouse and awaiting new-home construction, that this is what you'd be doing today? Exciting new chapter.
Hi thanks for the videos! Regarding blending colors...can you apply Dixie Belle paint (and blend with more) after "finishing" with Hemp oil (or clear coat or polycrylic) if the piece looks too flat? Thanks!
Thank you so much I have seen this blending in the center of drawers every where but I did not understand how it was done I even looked on the DB site and couldn’t find any specific tutorials this looks great 😍
Thank you Milkitta !! I'm so happy you enjoyed this tutorial and found it helpful :) I love to do color blending...the more you practice....the easier and more fun it gets. Thanks for watching !!! HUGS :)
When you did the sides of the drawers do you top coat them and if so how many coats?
When painting the sides of drawers, it depends on how tightly the drawers fit when sliding them in and out, I usually do 2 coats of a clear coat on it. If they fit snug and rub at all, then I either don't paint them at all (and just apply Dixie Belle Big Mama's Butta to help them slide easier... if I paint and its a tight fit I also use the butta just on the drawer sides to seal them paint and allow for gliding easily as well). Hope that answers your question :) HUGS
If my little jars won't open, I just take my paint can opener or screw driver and gently pry slightly in a spot or two under the lid. Usually opens then with no problem.
Hi Amy,
Nice to see you again,
Love your new project,
Have been following you
Way back from your house move,
Keep the videos coming thank you,
Still waiting for a refashion :)
Kim fromUK🌸
Thanks Kim :) I really appreciate you watching and commenting. Painting is so fun and relaxing for me. I will do some refashioning again soon, I promise. Its hard to get back into it when I get some pretty nasty trolls on my sewing projects that just write hurtful comments that I have to delete and it really hits my confidence when it comes to sewing lately. I really appreciate your support and kindness :) I hope you enjoy your weekend ! HUGS :)
What paint brand and color or color mix did you use for the inside?
Where do you get your plastic paint storage bottles at?
Nice job but I really miss you sewing will you be sewing anymore and do you have a sewing room in your new house ?
Lady Boyd yes she does, she has a new home tour video.
Amy, do you know if these are Ethan Allen tables? I was lucky to pick up a beautiful pair just like these tables for just $25! I am going to follow your instructions to try to get the same look as yours. Wish me luck ❤️
I don't remember the brands of these. I did this project last year and they sold immediately after listing them. I wish I could remember the brand. If you got Ethan Allen for $25 ....you scored !!! If you have any questions when you're doing this, feel free to message me on my facebook channel ( facebook.com/ajsvintagedesigns ) and I can respond a lot quicker. I get so many UA-cam comments each day across all my videos, its hard to respond in a timely manner usually. Thanks again and good luck :) HUGS !!
fashiontoppings thanks Amy.
