I Painted a Vintage Wood Buffet with Black Paint
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2021
- I found this vintage buffet on Facebook Marketplace for $80 while on vacation in rural Illinois. I wanted to see what it would be like to paint something outside of my normal environment so I brought it back to get a furniture makeover in black. Not everything went as planned but I got it figured out in the end! Check out more on the Surf Prep sanding system here or buy supplies. I get a kickback for your purchases: bit.ly/surfprep

That stunning buffet can’t hold a candle to those glorious socks.

Absolutely amazing.
I totally came here to say this. 👍👊😁
I was skeptical about a black buffet, but I'm impressed at how well it came out. Gunmetal gray and silver is very elegant.
It is absolutely beautiful!!! You definitely have a gift for flipping furniture. Keep up the good work!
Looks great. With that sleek finish I might have swapped out the hardware.
Definitely. Shiny chrome or gold. Maybe even something with an Oriental flare.
I would definitely do a sleeker silver hardware
Yep, I would have gone with hardware that was more modern, and silver. The existing hardware, even painted, still has that yucky old colonial feel.
@@DP-ih6nt But don't forget the style of the furniture, itself. Would it really look better with sleek, modern hardware?
@@susanlandsman9572 I agree
Gunmetal and silver, so sleek and chic, love it. Great pantihoses tip. Happy you back.
This is awesome. That piece is almost identical to the one I had for a few decades, except mine also had the hutch. Even the hardware is the same. I hated it and was ready to get rid of it. I wasn't confident about painting it, but since I was ready to get rid of it, I felt I had nothing to lose. I also painted it black...and I just love it.
It does my heart good to see old 'throw-aways' brought to a new life that will carry on for another couple decades.
I feel ashamed that I was ready to turf this lovely piece when all it needed was a little love.
Beautiful….the perfect amount of silver!!!!Great job young man!! 👏🏻👌🏻💖
Turned out lovely, not only do you put a lot of passion in your work, you get a good work out at the same time, lol. Xx
I LOVE THE ORIGINAL BROWN, WOW GORGEOUS MY FAVORITE COLOR, PERFECT U CHANGE MY MIND THANK YOU
You did a beautiful job. Only thing different I would have done is either change the hardware to a more simple look or kept the brass and polished it a bit.
That buffet turned out gorgeous. I love how the hardware pops out of the dark gray. Thanks for sharing and hope you enjoyed your vacation.
You work very hard and diligent, your work is always impeccable‼️ You don’t take short cuts but always checking for imperfections❤️ It’s Beautiful 🤩 Thank you for what you do and sharing 🙏🏼❤️🥰
I would suggest using a dark antique finish or wax on the silver hardware to soften the contrast with the black paint.
agree
Oh and ps. This is gorgeous. I love black and silver
I’ve always loved this style because of how sturdy and solid they are usually made. I have been pretty much binge watching these furniture flips steadily the last 10 days while fighting a cold.
You did a great job working outside your comfort zone. The end result was pretty great IMO.
Awesome! Thank you!
Ok. The jury is in. I’ve been watching video of refinishing/painting furniture for several years now - so I am a self-appointed ’good judge.’ I hereby ‘judge’ You, Mr. Shabby Guy, the best. Your finishes are so innovative, so carefully prepared with an extremely high level of skill. In my opinion, the pieces you work on are transformed into art.
This is another one of my favorites that I’ve seen so far! It looks way better than a piece found in an expensive store. The hardware finish is gorgeous and I think this turned out better than black. ❤ it! Bty, ❤ the socks 😊
Thank you for showing us an entirely brushed project....I don’t have a spray area so most all of my work is brushed. But I always learn something new from your videos. Than you!
Your attention to detail, organization, and patience make the professional. You got it.
This is beautiful!
My first video and I am so impressed! The buffet is absolutely gorgeous. And - I love your socks!
You did such a great job! I'm so glad your channel popped up on my feed. Ive always redone my finds in furniture, but life got in the way. Thank you for bringing my spark back. Keep up the awesome work ❣️
turned out great! I learned a few things when I brushed polycrylic on black too, brush marks are hard to avoid, but yours looked super cleannn. Way to go Shabby 👍👍👍
It’s beautiful.
Turned out gorgeous! And I learned a few tricks! Thanks!
Looks amazing!!
WELL DONE! Beautiful would love to have that right now! 🤗😄
Good thing I saw this video..I am going to be painting alot of old wooden furniture black..I will remember to sand it first before I begin to paint....I think I can salvage the vintage furnishings with a fresh coat of paint.. Give it a new look with new handles and knobs and all....instead of buying pricey new stuff..Throwing out stuff that is still good.
This is exactly what I think I may do to be bedroom furniture but with a darker black. This turned out very nice!
I love the look! And I love the idea of the silver and the distressed areas. Keep up the good work.
Love the color. Love the silver too. Great job.I use the hammered paint alot .
Looks amazing!
BEAUTIFUL!!! Victorian looking, which is my favorite! You took an outdated great wooded, piece of furniture and made a masterpiece!!!
Looks great with the colors you used. Someone will be very excited to own it!!
I think the dresser turned out AMAZING! Beautiful color. Love the hardware.
Haha. I thought as soon as i saw it...hmmm.... dresser not buffet
It is a buffet base. Not a dresser.
@@charlottepace7422 definitely a buffet. A dresser would not have the shelved compartments with doors. Definitely for tableware and serve ware.
The original piece had a china cabinet on top. The label on the back said "buffet base". Manufactured by Hale furniture company. This piece came from the 70s according to my research before I painted this piece, had mounting brackets on the back for the original china cabinet that went on top and measured something like 25" tall. It is way too short to be used as a dresser.
Turned out beautiful, you are right about the the black and polycyrlic very tricky.
Looks great! Well done.
Love your attention to detail, impressed with your work. I would be happy to have that piece on my home.
It looks like a deep gray to me which is also lovely.
Even the conditions can't stop your amazing vision. Most cool
Great job! You’re very talented & pay great attention to detail! Thanks for sharing. Great tips too - pantyhose over sponge applicator - awesome!!
😱... YOU DEFINENTLY MADE IT POP!!!.. IT'S JUST LOVELY..I LOVE IT!... I'VE GOT A DRESSER VERY SIMILAR TO THIS PIECE FROM THE 70'S HARD ROCK MAPLE ...PLUS MORE FURNITUE THAT NEEDS HELP..IT WAS MY MOTHERS
First time catching you. Very informative. You're a good teacher. Piece looks great.
Just stunning. Good tip for edging with the gilding wax
That piece you just did it's beautiful and rich looking..
Absolutely beautiful
At first I thought you were going to ruin it because I like traditional furniture from the old days, but I have to admit, it looks beautiful!
Gorgeous, I initially thought that I would have changed the in hardware but the finished product changed my mind. The silver hardware on the black cabinet was stunning.
Nice transformation. But, I also loved the original finish and would have been happy with refinishing it. Beautiful piece of quality furniture.
I love it. The white hardware really pops.
Looks great the gunmetal grey and the silver wax is phenomenal. I not usually a fan of this type of buffet but this one works.
Again…OMG…I have now subscribed…I really really want to do this on my old furniture …thank you for showing what to do…I’m so inspired to do this and I think they will look amazing in my rooms 😁
Awesome job on this one. I really like dark colors and you really pulled this one together with the contrast of light silver hardware and the silver wax you applied.
Loved it and the glorious socks too… lol
So lovely! Love your work and videos. All the best! Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you and your family. Glad you had a nice long in IL. Hope all is well in TX.
Woohoo finally! Great job as usual!
also "a little caulk in the holes" que 12 year old boy giggling
Simply gorgeous
That finish is disgustingly smooth. Like It doesn't even look like you did it by hand. So good! I think going with the gilding wax instead of the distressing really brought it all together. I wonder how many people are going to notice how you look different from the beginning to the end...
I absolutely love this piece,,,very chic
Omg, omg look amazing yang man. Very good job
Beautiful, love the black and silver.
There's so many techniques, Coats, sanding, then too many top coats to choose from🤯 but your videos makes it look so satisfying and very informative!!! Thank you Thank you 😊
That's absolutely beautiful and the silver just makes it pop I love it
I've found that any piece of furniture made with actual wood using real fasteners is a candidate for a makeover that's worth your time and effort as long as it's not rotted or warped. Even SOME particle board and wafer board CAN be worth it, as long as it's not something you're going to have to spend a lot of time on. I've found a few case goods that were actual wood construction, but had particle board doors and shelves. Removing those components and filling in the holes left by the hardware were exactly what those items needed, and sure saves on time and materials!
I started doing faux finishes at my mother's knee in the 1970s when she "antiqued" our entire kitchen/dining room trim and built-ins with avocado green and "antiquing stain". I was about 10. My Grandpa was an architect and cabinet maker, so wood splinters are in my DNA. I find your content to be like putting on a comfy pair of slippers. It's nice to see this sort of craftsmanship hasn't died out.
Great job...try and find the wood quality in today's furniture... I DON'T THINK SO. MOST FURNITURE IS MADE IN CHINA=JUNK.
Masterpiece!! Best one yet!!!
Not a fan of the distressed effects. But the piece came out beautifully. You have a true talent.
You don't want to know what I thank about someone who covers up beautiful wood with black paint.
You arent the first person to not like painted furniture. People have different tastes and I can respect that. In my market people want more choices in color for their interiors and that is how I've grown to what I am today, and how you found this video.
Its about like Chevy and Ford guys busting chops over their own biases. I find success in what I do but you're welcome to like what you want. Thanks for watching either way.
@@ThatShabbyGuy very polite and true answer. Nowadays a lot of people like painted furniture. As lt suits theirs interlor
I love that gun metal grey, very sophisticated colour. The silver on the edges just sets it off.
Looks very nice. Have a similar piece also painted (true) black, added bronze and glass hardware. Hope you’ll do more of this.
Incredible! I don't know how long you take, but the FF make it seem like less than 30 min. Besides, seen you holding yourself with your foot from the side of the furniture, standing up, sitting down, going around, pulling, pushing... Wow, 2 tapes in 1, aerobics and fixing furniture. I'm being serious! You are phenomenal. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for all the tips; I want to paint my buffet black too. Your suggestions will definitely help me.
I learned a lot from this video. Loved the panty hose trick/ Was just about to throw out a lot of panty hose with with holes and runs. Uh-uh. I love the gun metal grey. I know you wanted black, but this is special. Thats so much for your generosity and teaching.
Gorgeous. With some silver pillar candle holders and tapers, this piece would be a show stopper.
I absolutely LOVE this!!! Great call on the hardware WOW!
Oh lord! Just had a rummage sale with pieces of inherited furniture that I wish would be restored with love ❤️ Still have a dresser and a beautiful dining room set. Keep restoring these beautiful pieces 🙏😘
I agree with the comment below regarding the hardware. The stark contrast between the dark finish and light color of the hardware was, in my opinion, too great.
Nice job, beautiful color!
This is absolutely beautiful.. Really like the color.
Wow can you sure get the tops to look like glass. Well done. 👍🏼❤️
The gunmetal gray paint actually turned out awesome! I do like how you repurpose the original hardware by spray painting them silver. Gorgeous!
It’s Beautiful, very sleek, very polished. Your work is impeccable ‼️ I Love It❤️
I jokingly say your to blame for my MASSIVE collection of projects. The glazing thing just grabbed me and said you can this. Disability hasn't been easy but I'm doing it. I use a bin and bags for my hardware even. So, I am here to say THANK YOU for giving me a job again. I am forever grateful to you!!!
Love the gun-metal gray with gilding. So great to see good quality, older pieces getting a new life, and your vids always inspire me with my LONG list of items (mostly inherited) that I want to paint. Cheers.
Gray and silver. Super.
I've heard adding a hint of paint to the top coat on dark colors hides any stroke marks.
It most definitely does
I love the whole look, but agree that I might have used different hardware or maybe some black antiquing to tone down the hardware. Good job!
Looks amazing but it would have looked better without the doors. Adding baskets in that place would give it an updated look and it would make a nice entertainment center for a living room tv. 👍🏻
Love the look of this piece. Awesome socks by the way!
Looks good! I agree a kettle black would look great. I have a dresser that I’m going to do in kettle black and silver highlights
Good work - this would sell well.
Beautiful finish. It looks like a french polish. The hardware would be nice with a distressed black finish.
The gun metal actually was a slam dunk! Next time please let us see more modern looking hardware on a piece like this.
Had I not been in a town of 700 and time to wait for Amazon to get hardware there, I would. The other option as visiting a hardware store that is a 2.5 hour round trip. I chose to fish instead.
This is stunning! I'm looking for something very similar to this for my bakery 🤍
BEAUTIFUL. GORGEOUS. 💗
Absolutely beautiful! I love it! So elegant!
I think it’s beautiful! Great job
Beautiful!!!!
Awesome! I'm learning ALOT! I feel like I've been to a special Furniture Refinishing Class!
Thanks for Posting!
I've Subscribed & looking Forward to my next "Class"! 😁
This turned out just beautiful !
