    Thanks for the tips. I like that you use good technique. Some DIY channels just slap paint on, and one can see that it won't last. I do think it's worth putting the top coat on, since it gives extra protection. I really don't like painting, so anything to put off having to recoat!

    I'm so excited you did this video. I have a couple black kallax units in my craft room and I want to paint them to match all my white kallax units in there so they all match. I had to buy them at the time ikea was out of stock on everything.

    I want to update some of my furniture but I’m so intimidated. It’s hard to push myself through the discomfort of not knowing if it’s going to turn out ok.

    • @amyweaver7413
      @amyweaver7413 Рік тому +12

      Just a suggestion, but if you start on something small (a little side table or small child’s stool, etc) that isn’t worth a lot to get you started. I think you will see it is easier than you think, and having a starter project let’s you get some experience before you try a big piece that is really important to you. Good luck!

    • @thediymommy
      @thediymommy  Рік тому +11

      I like Amy's suggestion to start with something small! IKEA has a great wooden stool that's fun to paint before assembly (the PERJOHAN).

    God why I didn't see this videos before starting my room project!!! I have multiple bedroom Ikea and Walmart furniture most are that laminated "wood" and I sanded maybe a little it but I did not have any primer, didnt allow proper drying time and didn't top coated at all. Now I know what to do and go back to it in full force now that I know what materials I need to buy and restock.

    Thank you so much for these useful tips! I do have a question, can the laminate boards or MDFs be stained like real wood? I was thinking that stain might give it a real wood look. Am I wrong?

    I am planning to paint my IKEA laminate dining table, these steps are both helpful and timely. One question…have you painted a laminate dining table? If so, how long did it last? Thanks, for the great tips and great Canadian contest!! Love that I can find almost everything you recommend here in Northern Ontario!

    @diannepillar3061 Рік тому

    I'm surprised that you don't cover your floors and tape off walls etc when you are painting inside, it would be good to suggest in your video to ensure you don't get splatter as rollers and sprayers always go over the edges of items. I do love the items that you have painted, gives me some inspiration!

  • @Gearsandco
    @Gearsandco 26 днів тому

    I was wondering if I could use Spray primer and paint, since it will accelerate the process and may yield a more consistent result. please let me know since I'm looking to pain my white Ikea Alex Drawers and Malm Bed in a charcoal Matt Gray so it works with my Walnut wood accent.

    Hi, thank you for all your videos and tips :) I'm planning to flip an Ikea book case and I've never flipped furniture before. It has a thin rear panel that is nailed along the frame. Do you sand it by hand (because it's so thin) or do you recommend sanding it with a machine?

    • @thediymommy
      @thediymommy  7 місяців тому

      You could sand by hand or use an orbital sander with a light touch.

  • @annawilson1519

    What finish of paint do you use?

  • @logicalblueberry
    @logicalblueberry 5 місяців тому +3

    Cabinet and door paint is far superior to latex paint for painting furniture. Latex paint dries rubbery and is only good for walls. Cabinet paint dries very hard, is more durable and is much easier to sand.
