furniture flipin market and one lucky viewer is going to receive their favorite paint color from this video so be sure to keep watching and see how to enter now let's Jump Right [Music] In first piece up is Grandma's Buffet I picked this up in an auction for $75 and this is one of those pieces that I wish I had five or six of because this can be so fun to flip it so many different ways but the design I ended on sold really really well for me and this paint color that I've used I've used it time and time again on pieces and it continues to fly out the door so that's why it's number one this buffet was in decent shape it's definitely seen plenty of use and it had a lot of dirt and furniture polish buildup on it so I did a really good deep clean using some simple green before I started [Music] the hardware is original to this piece and just absolutely beautiful I knew with just a little bit of cleanup that this Hardware would look really great again so I'm not going to spend the extra money to find replacements this Hardware was definitely made for this [Music] piece the raw wood look is so very popular for 2024 so to get the dark stain off these drawers I put on some chemical stripper and let that sit for about an hour conditions are really hot in Texas so I have to cover my chemical stripper to make sure that it stays activated and doesn't dry up on [Music] me once this sat for about an hour I took a scraper and some steel wool to get into all the nooks and crannies to get off of this dark [Music] stain next I'm doing a light scuff sand to the body of the dresser with 180 grit sanding pad this is just going to help ensure that my paint had some tooth to adhere to and it also gets out all those light scratches that are on the tops and the sides [Music] for this Buffet I've chosen the color Sunday tea by country chic Sunday tea is in a warm grayish color it's not quite gray it's not quite beige it's actually a really soft and subtle color that's reminiscent of a peaceful and relaxing afternoon spend sipping tea and reading a book Sunday tea looks especially lovely with neutral wood finishes like oak or walnut and it pairs really well with warm metallic finishes like brass or copper I just love how Sunday tea Blends seamlessly into the current Decor Styles I'm using my HVLP gravity sprayer to apply this but you can definitely apply it with a paint brush or a roller this Buffet took two coats for full [Music] coverage to get the hardware clean I made a vinegar bath and once it got to Boiling I dropped the hardware in this is going to take off any of that old tarnish [Music] we're going to do something a little different with these drawers I created a paint wash out of that country chic Sunday tea using one part paint and four parts water I'm applying it with a stained sponge this will just help make the drawers a little bit lighter than the body of the dresser and you'll still be able to see some of that beautiful wood grain detail coming through be sure to stay tuned until the end of today's flip where one lucky viewer will be receiving their favorite paint color from the flips I'm showing you today all you need to do to enter is make sure you're subscribed to my channel give this video a thumbs up and leave me a comment below as to which one is your favorite paint color that I'm using today and you'll be entered in the [Music] drawing to finish this piece I'm using country chic's top coat and a satin finish this is an eco-friendly water-based top coat that will add years of durability to this buffet with an extra strong sealant and now for a quick before and after of Grandma's Buffet this one sold for $750 the lovely neutral of the Sunday tea definitely complement a lot of Home Decor so I had plenty of interest when I listed this one [Music] number two was a roadside find this guy was in pretty gross shape but I had a really cool vision for this and I was up for the challenge this dresser definitely had a 1980s Vibe and I find that that style of furniture will sell really well for me it looks pretty cool with a makeover so let's get started again and I lucked out with these handles they're perfect for this piece but a few of them had been chewed on by a dog or an animal but they're nothing that my sandard can't tackle I gave this a really good scrub with my drill brush that just helps cut through any gross dirt and grime and this dresser had plenty of it next I took a 180 grit sanding pad and sanded down the surface of this dresser to help remove any scratches or lumps this was not solid W so I had to improvise with some of my finishing [Music] techniques I wanted to do a modern half and half pattern on this dresser so I'm measuring out one side to make sure that it's even and then I'm going to take that Sunday tea paint again and make a paint wash out of that so I'm using one part paint and three parts [Music] water I'll apply a nice even coat and wipe it back after it's set on the surface for about 30 seconds I did the same technique to the drawers on the right hand side of the dresser a tan paint wash is an easy way to get rid of those orangey tones that are left over in the [Music] wood once that dried I taped off the part that I applied the paint wash to to get ready to paint the other half [Music] for the second half I used the color licorice by country chic paint loaded into my gravity fed HP [Music] sprayer I appli two good coats of this for full [Music] coverage licorice is this really rich deep black shade that has a touch of sophistication and drama to it depending on the lighting it can also take on this really cool deep charcoal Hue adding a nice depth to your piece and it pairs really well with wood tones for a more earthy feel but it also looks great with metallic accents like brush nickel or [Music] brass once the licorice paint was dry I peeled off my painters tape to reveal the crisp line between the two colors to seal this dresser I'm taking some wood wax just to help maintain that beautiful matte finish on this piece each of these flips has its own dedicated video and I will list them in the descriptions below along with all the products that I'm using if you're interested in finding out more detailed information about each flip you can find it there I loved the final unique finish on this dresser it was so modern and definitely an upgrade from the one that we found in the trash it's always amazing to me what you can do with free furniture from the side of the road so this one the color I used is called Licorice and the selling price for this dresser was $950 not bad for a free find number three this next finish has been a fan favorite this year I found these two nightstands at a thrift store for $75 and that's a pretty high price to pay for these considering what terrible shape they were in but nightstands are a hot seller around here and I think thrift stores have really picked up on that these were missing hardware and had a ton of junk still left on the insides but that's nothing we can't tackle so I got to work and they needed a very good deep clean someone had previously painted these with spray paint so I had my work cut out for me I got them nice and clean with some simple green and warm water now that they're dry I'm using a 3x4 surf prep sander with an 80 grit sanding pad to remove some of the overspray and the rough finish left behind on these nightstands I originally thought I would do a solid wood top on these but once I got the spray paint removed the wood underneath was so ugly that I had to scrap that idea but the direction I ended up going in was a [Music] hit these needed to be primed first before I could paint so I used my favorite primer in the purple can from Sherwin Williams to help lock in any of that Redwood tannin or previous finish that would try to seep through my final paint [Music] job on these nightstands I'm using the color road trip from country chic paint road trip is a light yellow brown tan color and it pairs really well with those natural wood finishes that are making such a comeback in 2024 this color can be used to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere in a living room or a bedroom and it really compliment rustic Farmhouse inspired Decor road trip was absolutely the perfect color choice for this finish that I'm going for on these nightstands [Music] to create that Pottery Barn look we headed to Lowe's and picked up a can of Rustoleum glaze in the color Jaba Brown this is a glaze that's made for cabinets but wait till you see what it does on furniture I'm applying the glaze with a foam brush and a thick layer this has plenty of open time so it's not going to dry very quickly you just want to make sure that you get a good amount to cover all of the tan paint underneath [Music] I'll wipe back a little bit of my glaze and you can already see it leaves this fun textured finish but we're not done [Music] yet next I took a deck staining brush and ran through the glaze to give it even more texture then I'll take a stiff bristled broom and I'll run it through the glaze after that you want to try to follow what would be a natural grain pattern in the wood if there was one there so these end up looking like real wood at the end instead of particle board this is very much a trust the process type of finish but in the end it's absolutely fantastic you can see what a beautiful Farmhouse Vibe this gives off the more that you work with it I found these great brushed bronze knobs on Amazon that perfectly complemented the faux wood finish on these nightstands I added some peeling stick wallpaper into the drawers because some of the stains that were left inside made it looking less than fresh I applied the knobs and I got these ready to stage these sad little nightstands turned into beautiful pieces that had plenty of life left over in them for a new owner I listed these on Facebook Marketplace and in 45 minutes I had a sale I sold these for $475 but to be honest with you I could have gone a lot higher with the kind of demand that these had this was kind of like the one that got away but that's okay I still made a really good profit and I learned a new technique that sold really well for me time and time again the color I used on this was the toy tan color called road trip and flip number four ended on a very different note than I had originally expected so stay tuned to the end and I'll tell you the whole story I found this dresser on Facebook Marketplace and it looks very similar to the one that I found on the side of the road it actually has pretty much the same water damage on the top as it did in the previous one and they were made of the same materials however they were not made by the same company I picked this one up for $60 it was in decent shape except for the damage on the top but all the handles in the drawers did not need replacing or fixing so I'll save some money by not having to worry about [Music] that and again the hardware on this piece was perfect so I'm just going to remove these and set them aside so I can get a really good clean on this dresser Simple Green is my go-to cleaner if you couldn't tell by now it does a great job of removing dirt grease and grime and it also cuts down all of that furniture polish I buy a lot of these pieces from estate sales and they're usually in really great condition and they've been heavily pledged Through The Years so it's really important that I get that off before you apply your new finish whether that's paint or stain or paint wash all that buildup underneath has got to go it's amazing how dirty that water is on a dresser that looks relatively clean for the next step I used 180 grit sanding pad to knock down any scratches or bumps on my dresser and I'll give my paint a little something more to adhere to this dresser did have a really big gouge that ran across almost the entire top of this so I'm using some wood fill to patch that [Music] up while that's drying I'll do a good SCU sand on my [Music] drawers now that I have a few different finishes on this dresser I'm using some clear to help seal the top so they don't have any bleed through issues on the stresser into the paint that I'm using I wanted to do a milk paint finish on this so I'm using their color navy blue this is not however going to be the color that ends up selling this dresser for me so stay tuned [Music] I built a base for this dresser to give it a little more height and I stained it in a dark walnut Minwax stain it gave it a really nice definition between the base and the paint color and it helped get this 1980s dresser off the ground a little bit and again all of my full tutorial are listed in the description below so if you want more information on how I completed each flip each one has its own individual video and all the supplies I used are listed there as well so be sure to check that out and here is my before and after on my navy blue milk paint flip I actually really loved the way that this one turned out however when we listed in on Facebook Marketplace I had someone inbox me that was a previous client and she asked me if I would consider painting this black for her instead of navy blue so back to the drawing board I went again I used my color licorice by country chic paint and we turned this into her dream dresser for her home the sale price on this guy was $800 and there you have it folks we have uncovered the top selling paint colors that are transforming
