Hi. I would love more information on the book. I would like to buy it but need more info before I spend that much money. I would love to know what it covers and how many pages. Is there somewhere I can get that info? I love all your projects!! Thank you for doing the videos. It helps so much
I put my oil paint brushes in the a ziploc bag and put them in the freezer so they don't dry up and they last forever.
@alisonkhan4512 Great tip, thanks! 🥰
Do you clean the brushes before storing them in the freezer, or do you put them in there with the paint/stain on them? Thanks
FREEZER! Brilliant! 🏆
@@sarahbecker927 no I put them in wet with paint. Oil paint doesn't freeze. It works with water based paints too. You just have to let them thaw out for 5 minutes,
@@alisonkhan4512 thank you!
I fricken love gel stain. I bought a 1980 house with the old cherry colored door frames, moulding, and window sills. I decided to keep the wood trim (with updated moulding, doors, etc.) I found a good color match, and after cleaning and a little prep, I go over the door frames with gel stain using a rag. It really pops out a warmth to the wood and dries with a little sheen. Really nice. I feather brush on the sills. OMG! It looks really nice.
I luv gel stain. So glad I didn't paint it all white. I appreciate wood tones so much more.
Very nice. Great way, to give old furniture a more modern look. I often see second hand furniture like that, for next to nothing on resale sites. Well made, mostly real wood...but nobody wants it, because it looks too old fashioned.
Sadly, I don't have a home to furnish, or I would be all over it!
But I love, that there are people, who save these pieces from the dumpster and give them a second life!
So beautiful. I have two nearly identical night stands as yours and can't wait to follow your steps.❤
Beautiful! I did a coffee table for myself using your technique and it turned out amazing! I used water stain gel and top coated with water based polyurethane. The top was laminate and now looks like real wood! Thanks so much for sharing. Good luck with your book. It sounds really interesting.
Thanks so much for this video. I have been racking my brain on how to change the color on some things for update and cohesive look thats doable for me. Bless your soul girl and hope book does great
This technique was popular in the 60's and 70's, I still see pieces at auctions. There was a kit you could buy at that time. Btw, nice job, looks great.
Cannot wait to try this technique! So pretty. Definitely buying your book!!!!
I just bought your book, Shannon and am anxious ...oh so anxious to delve in! You are an amazing person who proves you use what you have and it always turns out beautiful! Thank you for the work.
Looks great. Congrats on the book, that’s super exciting!! ❤❤❤❤
Fabulous! You are so talented! Thank younfor the teaching!
The finish looks great!!
Congratulations on your book, one i must get my hands on! And thank you for sharing your amazing work. I'm anxious to give this a try so i can help my daughter find more economical ways to furnish her home!
Watching you, I really want to do this! I have a small space and a lot of stuff! Thank you! Keep up the great work! Some day, I will get to do my dream!
Gorgeous, you did a an outstanding job. Im impressed enough to at least try.
(ps: for the dry time, i have always added this amazing paint additive called "Japan Drier" to my oil paints and/or oil based inks and it always cuts the dry time by at least half and that's me being generous! you can find it in any art store including Michaels usually in the same section as all the oil paints as it is an oil based paint medium meant to speed up drying times. i have never tried it on gel stain specifically but i am going to for my project that i am about to do which is why i am watching this video so i will update my comment as soon as i try it out!)
Hey great video! this video was a perfect find for me as i couldn't decide what color to paint my door and there is a bunch of graffiti on it so staining (well i thought) was going to be out of the question as i was unable to completely get off the ink, even after sanding ~ 7 layers plus of paint/wood! the ink they used had seeped incredibly deep past all the paint and into the wood of my door lmao! but anyways your vid came as a godsend as i just happened to have a bunch of the grey killa/ bin laying around and an unused can of red mahogany varathane laying around so i am about to try your easy to follow method and keep you all updated on how it turns out!!
You are like my favorite artist. You make me feel as though I could actually do it😅
You are so talented! Love your videos....❤
This seems like a good painting option for redoing kitchen cabinets since the gel stain makes it so durable. Do you think that would work?
I’m looking for a new finish for a laminate chest of drawers, this might be it. Loved the demo.
BEAUTIFUL!!!❤❤❤
Such beautiful dresses! You looked gorgeous in each of them! Ad always, another great video! Thank you!
Thanks for the video, I'm going to try this on a huge mirror that has a black plastic frame. One thing I'll point out. I feel like the faux wood grain inside the sides of your cabinets should have been verticle to match the outside, as it would have with real wood.
Looking forward to trying it with my project
Another GREAT Video !! ..... 💖⚘️💖
Absolutely love it! Found your age while searching for kitchen cabinet paint videos. Would you recommend this technique on wooden kitchen cabinets?
Beautifully done ❤❤
Just found this channel, loving it!
I used that technique many years ago to turn my woodwork from a 90’s light blonde to an old European walnut in my hundred year old stone Tudor home! It looked fabulous. And so easy. I may have used a water based gel stain though.
CONGRATS ON UR NEW BOOK!!!🤸♀️🤸♀️🥳🥳
Gorgeous!
They look awesome......
Love love it❤❤❤❤ you are amazing!
Beautiful!!!
This is a great one for my taste, thank you very much!
Wow that is such a great finish.
Very nice! Love all of your videos! Do you sand after priming, just to smooth out slightly before you apply the paint?
Love it! Thanks to u i did this concept with some barstools I bought and I’m loving them. Have u ever done it on a door?
Beautiful! How well does the finish resist knicks, scratches, etc.? How is it holding up thus far?
Gorgeous 😍
I love this look! You make it seem so easy that I am gonna give it a try.
Question: If my paint is a matte, should I put a top coat on before applying the get stain? Just trying to use what I have on hand. TIA
Gorgeous!!!! Can that brush technique be done with non gel stain?
Shannon, what do you think about this technique on kitchen cabinets? Would the smell be too much to do indoors?
Hey, Shannon! Question for you -- I watched your video from a year ago when you used Rust-Oleum decorative glaze instead of the gel stain. Do you have a preference? Is the gel stain better than the glaze? I'm about to start a project and eager to get it right the first time! Thanks!!
Congratulations on your book! Also there is no briarsmoke gel stain up here in Canada but they do have the oil stain in this colour. Can that be used instead somehow?
I use a clear wax mixed with some paint and a flexible brush in such strokes.
Love these - subbed!!!!!
You got me binging your videos. This looks great! Do you think a wood graining tool would work with this?
Great information. Do you remember which brush from Temu that you used? Thanks.
Could this be done on dark chocolate colored furniture with white/cream gel stain over top (without priming etc) to lighten wood to this shade? Can you test it out and share with us via video? Love your channel!! 🎉
Curious if i need to prime solid pine prior to applying the paint and gel stain. I sanded down the dresser and its nice wood underneath
Do you put a poly over gel stain? If so, do you have to gently sand before each layer of poly?
Can you use matte paint for the Open Canyon coat?
Love this. What color is in the primer?
Amazing !❤. I just did a gel stain oil based on my banisters just finished. What brand polyurethane? Also do it in semi gloss or satin gloss? What brand? ? Thanks a lot.! JENNIFER , from Colleyville, Texas
this is my favorite finish, look, and even one of my favorite colors schemes. Thanks for sharing the exact colors you used. Whst did you end up doing with the inside of the drawer?
Here in Seattle, WA it's a very long dry time. Better to leave it longer when in doubt. Routinely primer is 48 hours, paint a full day (not 2-4 hours).
I have a problem that may make an interesting video. I have a beam on my white ceiling .I would love to get it too look like brown wood. At least woodish. Doesn't have to be wood knots etc. Woodish would be good enough. Maybe even this whole deal would be fine. Or would it? And what colors would one go with for a brown woodish look? Yhanks for sharing.
You could certainly do this finish or any others on my channel to create a wood look on your beam, just tape off the areas needed to protect. XO MaCenna here on youtube recently stripped her wood beam and it looked like it was a real beast of a project 😅
@@blacksheephouse Thanks for responding. The beam in question is ceiing material, but it would look better if it was wood, hence the question.
Complete newbie going to try this. Could you share Amazon links to appropriate brushes to have for this project? As this will be my very first time, I haven’t a clue!
So pretty. Finish is much more natural than the graining tool.
I want to try this tomorrow, Ive already started the bedroom set, dddoes it lay out smooth? even with brush strokes??? You did an AWESOME JOB!
no
if I wanted to add a top coat (poly) how long should I wait for the dry time to prevent messing up the brush strokes?
Nice work Shannon! Help! Lol. I'm painting my first piece of furniture. Using the Behr chalk and their recommended primer. 24 hrs later the primer still feels tacky. 😢
Hello nice work. Is the gel stain water or oil based for over a latex paint that you are using?
i want to do a large corner desk...it is cherry wood., but i am only re-doing the surface...found out that it is not solid wood as it is plain colored...love your video., but i wonder if i should use a cherry gel stain or black or even off white..keep changing my mind. any ideas? thanks.
Hi, do you think this would work or be durable on wooden steps? Thank you
What is the reason for using broom? Beautiful piece by the way
So if I were to do similar. Use the first 2 paints you used, but if I wanted to do say a walnut gel stain color, I can do that, or does the paint color have to be different then?
Like this project
Would this work on the handrail part of an orange oak railing? What would you seal/protect it with & how many coats? 🤔
do you have a paint + stain combo for walnut finish?
the pottery barn grey is too light for everything else in my home
Does the semi gloss need to be used
I have a light colored dresser that has the wood grain laminate. Can I just clean it and then use the gel stain over it to give it that weathered gray look without having to print them and do a solid paint?
I need to this on my kitchen table. It keeps getting stained by hot stuff or cold I am just too tired but i like my table it’s not real wood should I sanded or just use prime and then at the gel coat
Could I use this technique on orangey oak kitchen cabinets?
Is the semi gloss paint you have oil based or water?Can you put the oil based gel paint on top of the water base paint?
Very nice! If using a water based gel stain would a topcoat be needed?
I did this technique- discovered it on my own 7 years ago - on a table. I did a small side table without a topcoat and a larger table with topcoat. After 7 years of everyday use, all I can say is: Topcoat! Topcoat! Topcoat!
Thanks
Is this finish durable enough for heavy use area like bathroom vanities and kitchen cabinets?
Love it! So no top coat is necessary?
Right, it’s super durable as is 🥳 sometimes I do a matte topcoat of there are a lot of imperfections like dents and dings in the wood I didn’t fill showing up after I’m done
Do you dilute your oil with water? Because I bought some of the oil and mine is super thick.
It's a lovely color. I'm so tired of everything gray lol but this looks nice
It’s not gray. Briarsmoke is one of my favorite stains. It’s like a med-dark taupe-y shade. Hard to put into words. If you paint it on it will pull more gray, but over wood or over a warm tan paint, it shouldn’t pull the gray, but the other tones.
You can do this with any gel stain, paint and glaze, etc. it’s the technique, not so much the products used. The nice thing w the gel stains is the dry down time. You have time to manipulate it and get it just right.
I would like to redo my entire dark bedroom set to an off white. I looked at your 1 step paint recipe, is that im place of the expensive 1 step paints that you can paint without sanding? Also not a fan of chalk paint. I have an extra gallin of killz, would it be better to prime that dark wood? I also saw your trick to remove redness from bleeding out of the wood. Depending how the top looks sanded, I might go with the natural wood.🙂
Hi, I love your technique and the way the nightstands turned out. I am doing a cabinet hutch and wanted to know if I could use Varathane premium fast dry wood stain? I couldn’t afford the gel stain. Thanks
Hey there, in a pinch you can mix paint and clear coat to make your own glaze - I do it in another video on my channel butit dries quicker so you have to be fast.
I am about to do this in my son's room he has the furniture in the video so I hope I am able to do it as well as you did.
My mom wants to know: Do you need to seal if you just apply the primer and behr paint? Can the gel stain be applied over the primer if we don’t use the brush to streak it? Thanks.
This is gorgeous, I bought everything today! It'd be great not to have to use a top coat, yours looks so nice and no top coat, correct? I want the exact same look!!! Thank you, congrats on the book, anxious to get it!
I have same question. Is a top coat not required over this gorgeous finish?
@@danielleweston1492no topcoat bc it’s oil based stain. But you need to be VERY carful until it cures. Not just dries, but cures. Prob at least 30 days at the minimum.
I’ve done this with General Finishes gel stain and once it dries and cures it’s pretty much on there until you remove it.
If you put a top coat on this, it’ll fail bc the gel stain is oil based. You can use an oil based top coat, if you must, but it will yellow over time.
You do not need a top coat if using oil based gel stain. If you use a water based glaze as your topcoat, best to use water based polyurethane. She recommended matte polyurethane but I have found satin finish just makes the furniture look richer. Play around on a sample board and see what you like.
@@serita2279This can of gel stain specifically states that a top coat is needed. There are no protective properties in gel stain.
Hi can i use this over painted cabinets?
How much stain did you use for these two? I have 22 church pews I’m refinishing and need to be able to budget this. Have you ever done anything that large?
Do you sand it first before painting?
So we’re all the products oil based? Primer, paint and gel stain?
Hi Shannon, I think I've watched all of your videos on the Pottery Barn finishes and noticed that with this gray wash using the Briarsmoke Gel Stain, sometimes you're using Open Canyon as your base, and sometimes you are using Rugged Tan. Can you please tell me which one gives the best "Pottery Barn" look, and what the difference looks like when completed - is one more tan vs gray?
Fabulous info in your inquiry ! I was trying to find mention of the gel stain color
@@EllaCinder-lh4ro She has it in the video description. Varathane Gel Stain- Briarsmoke
P.S. Can I use Java Gel Stain? It is oil based.
I’m hot in the middle of refinishing an old armoire.
Hubby didn’t put enough wood putty in old holes.
Have already primed 2x’s and 1 coat of paint.
I just saw it and the holes are noticeable.
Do we need to sand all the way back down or is there a hack to go on top of paint.
So no sanding? As in between primer and the SG paint , I didn’t see that you sanded. None at all? Is the finish smooth?
If I prefer a warmer tone, do you think a brown toned gel stain would work as well?
Yes. She has other tutorials where she uses warmer stain.

Good art work 😅
Shannon, can I use Java Gel Stain?
So can you use any color gel stain?
Can I use a white primer?
My question to you what is a good product that you suggestion to used to clean old vintage wood furniture thank you for your time
I like simple green cleaner or dish soap and water and I use a scrub brush and a scouring pad or scrub daddy to remove gunk
