Definitely should have gone with a coarser grit such as 120 or coarser.

Thank you so much for showing all this! I'm in the process of choosing a couch _based on_ how easy it is to clean or replace the covers; I have 3 long hair cats, and both fur and hairballs are inevitable, so instead of being mad about that I just want something that makes that not a big deal! I have been thinking about the Vimle and just getting an extra set of covers so I can swap over on a whim if I have surprise guests coming right when my cat's decided to violate the couch, LOL.

Looks great. But having done this myself, removing paint with paint stripper, all I can say is, never again. Once it is painted it is over.

I really want more wood in my all white furniture room but all I find are videos of people painting wood ones white haha Thank you for your video! I want to try it on my billy shelf but I am a little concerned there is no real wood underneath only particle board/pressed wood chips. Does anyone have any experience with that?

Why not buy a new one, they are cheap

It looks so much better with no paint, I hope Ikea offers this option at some point. Using paint strippers and doing so much sanding isn't really an option if you're living in a small apartment without a basement or garden...

I bought a large white trunk to store my infant niece’s stuff in czcams.com/users/postUgkxNuLbiXpLQ-mKH5NlyjrNe88hiCk2N3Cg , as she comes to my house frequently. For now, it’s toys on one side and diapers, wipes, and other baby care items on the other. As she gets older, it will be all toys. I had originally wanted a trunk with a hinged lid, but I was afraid of her smashing or pinching her fingers in it. This will be a much safer option. The lid has great padding in it and it is actually nice to sit on. It feels very sturdy and secure. Looks like it can be wiped clean easily. If it gets abused by her, I won’t be terribly upset because I paid less than $50 for it on Prime Day.

Great information..

I tried this and it tasted so nice. Thank you.

Thousands of lifetime projects with Woodglut plans.

Just what we were looking for in the csmper.

Xanadu,

Turned out very nice! Makey me wonder why they don't sell it that way. Would have been scared to get paint on my sleeves :)

I have been searching for an answer if I can strip IKEA furniture because I wanted to make them all white washed stain, and this video has given me hope! Thank you for doing it and sharing it!

thank you so much for this video. We are thinking of getting this couch for our home and we definitely need something comfortable but also that it doesn't lose its shape. Did yours lose any shape in the 2 years? especially on the seat?

Absolutely brilliant !

Was the polycrylic satin, matte, semi gloss?

This is a really useful video, thank you!

omg i loveeeeeeeeeeeee this. it sucks ikea literally only sells this dresser in 3 colors. your DIY project is the exact color i would want!!!!! now I wanna buy the white one and do what you did

Hi, I wonder does anyone know if this works with any ikea furniture? How do we know if the wood will be beautiful like this under ?

My Vimle is a 3 seater without chaise. Where to start?

😁

I‘ve done the same thing with our dresser and I must say 2 things: 1. it doesn’t have dark spots from paint like yours, so you might have to sand it more properly, and 2. though the dresser is now looking beyond beautiful, I truly regret doing this hell of a job and it’s a pity people promote all this ikea makeover stuff. Next time I‘d rather save my highly paid time and just buy one from a high quality furniture retailer. This is my personal choice, other people should feel free doing what they want.

Soo after 4 years ! How is the sofa ? 🤭 do you still have it ? Thank you in advance ♥️

I have this couch in yellow 💛 I am taking apart to wash right now. It is very hot here along so I may dry in the sun. I washed one cover and it came apart after drying and I was able to patch it. I wish I would have not be afraid to do this a couple years ago. Thanks for this video.

I’m just wondering on the comfort of this ? 1-10 pleaseee

An orbital sander with 80 git paper would see this stipped to bare wood in less than an hour.

Thank you. This was very helpful and I will be buying this couch now that I have more information about it. Side note: That is a beautiful shade of lipstick :) It matches your hijab so well, too!

Sure way to ruin a good couch.

I just bought a used Hemnes TV console. It’s black/brown, but I am planning to strip it and whitewash the raw pine. Thanks for giving me a preview of what the wood looks like, and what I will be getting myself into. Great job!

I love this so much! I have this exact dresser and wanted to change my room up, but I don't want to buy new furniture so this taught me so much!! Can't wait to do the same to my dresser

What a shame, that video you linked is private now

You say um alot

I am thinking of this sofa or Froslov. For me the selling point was removable covers which was making me lean towards Vilme but now I am a bit concerned about washing covers as I have Fibromyalgia and would probably need someone to assemble the couch for me meaning I will also been someone to disassemble just so I can wash covers, and as I am single and not with the greatest support system ( not to mention I don't want to burden a anyone with that task) I am now not sure this is a good idea.

Tell about the model is that vimle two seat sofa and chaise lounge....

Which color is yours?

How did this couch hold up as far becoming loose or wobbly?

adulting is tough 😪

Omg I want this sofa. When i clicked on the link you provided, it will direct me to the home website of ikea. Do you know the namr of the couch and what kind of white color is it? Thank you so much

Oh my gosh, are we the same person lol? I repainted my black hemnes dressers an offwhite after trying originally trying to take all the black off and giving up. This gives me hope I can actually refinish it how I originally intended. The dresser turned out beautifully!

Wow so good, you did a really nice job, love the aesthetic of the dresser!!!

Thanks for the helpful video! FYI I think the audio cuts out at 7:01, and there is no audio when you're speaking after

Thank you ❤️

What colour is this!!

Thank you for this video. I’ve been apprehensive about getting this couch but after this video I feel more confident. Thank you!

It’s good to know “what not to do” 😆😆😆. Thanks for your tips.

Is this the same as the finnala sectional what’s the difference

The Ikea couches always look so frumpy
