Thank you for sharing this tutorial. Love this piece and the finish you've chosen. Can't wait to find a special piece to use the Rustic Rose finish on. Your tutorials are very informative. The step by step tutorials have given me the confidence to try these finishes myself. I prefer to refinish, upcycle and recycle older items as the wood and craftsmanship is usually superior to materials used in new furniture today. Added bonus is the pieces don't end up in landfills. Thank You!
carolyn tole Glad to hear it! And totally agree, breathing new life into old pieces and making them functional Art is so much the fun of this. Happy to share and help others get the bug to paint and get confidence knowing the steps.
Wow this finish is gorgeous.
Wow, loved the detail in the interior of the drawers... would like to see a demo on that for sure...
Marzella Brown I can do that for sure 😉
Beautiful !
Simple and effective!
Thank u!
Thank you for sharing. Im working on a project now with red paint and blk wax. I made it rustic but not sure i like it yet
Awesome👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I followed your video and did a piece of furniture and love how it came out. Days later I'm wondering what to add if I want a little more shine to it? Thank you!!
Maestra Freese usually you can buff out the wax or salve a couple days after and the buffing will give it more sheen 👍
I'm glad I found this tutorial because it's what I kinda want to do to my dresser. White and black though. I don't have money for the black wax and brush though so I'm going to have to wait. T.T Thanks for the video.
Im in love with what you did to this dresser. I have a complete bedroom set that is very ornate that I would love to do this same look to. Now I know that the annie sloan emperor silk color has changed and that the wise owl red color you used is retired. So now what can I use that will be as close as I can get to the original emperor silk color. Please any advice guidance or help you can provide would be so appreciated. I cant get over how gorgeous this dresser looks.
I’d definitely go with Wise Owl Chalk Synthesis Paint in Republic Red. If you search on Pinterest you’ll find some pieces painted that and think it’ll be perfect for this finish
Beautiful... I have a question though. Why do you use the clear wax first? Does it do something important to the finish? I have a very old dresser, it was painted but the paint is pretty much all worn off. I was thinking of using this technique with a bright red, but pulling it down VERY dark with the wax. So the red is really just a breath of color behind the black. I was thinking that just using black wax, without the clear wax first, would make the end color darker?
Susan Vasquez the clear wax is a barrier between the paint and the accenting wax (black). This will allow you to move the accenting wax around easier to ensure it goes on where you want and not all over. Going straight black wax over a chalk style paint will absolutely darken the paint and quickly and without allow you to move it around. Chalk style paint is porous so it’ll want to absorb and adhere. That clear wax with give you the barrier and more time to get it on how you want. Hope that makes sense ☺️
Hi Mark -
I was wondering, is the wax enough of a "sealer" that I do not need t finish my piece with a poly acrylic?
Thanks in advance!
Yes 👍 can’t Poly over wax so… if you for some reason feel you want to Poly, be sure to Poly then wax. But there’s no need for that in my opinion
Antique red is no longer available at Wise Owl. Would you suggest Republic Red in its place?
Yes definitely 👍 both would work for this same style finish.
Love the tutorial I will be trying it with my kitche bar stools!
Is there a top coat or sealer (I’m not sure what it’d be called, newbie here) to go over the the final finish? In order for it to last longer.
If using wax, that’s all you’ll need. If you want more durability try Vanish and Glaze
My army hubby wants his bar cabinet in red ..Was very sceptical n kept telling him to go in for a softer colour but he refuses to budge ..incidentally ,I ordered emperor silk today eve ..n found your great tutorial ...n am feeling confident now ..:
I don’t hv black wax ...will i be able to pull off the effect you created with Annie s dark wax ?
Would love to see your tutorial with moulds
Dark wax will give you a similar look, as it is a dark brown color, but won’t look exactly like this. For waxing in those detailed areas, just push the wax down in and wipe away the raised areas, leaving the wax down in the recessed spots. And if you need to remove some from those raised areas, use the Clear Wax with a shop towel and wipe, it’ll work as an eraser of sorts. Just in case the raised areas hold too much of the dark wax 👍
@@RefurbishedGentlemanTelevision ..kind of you to reply ..ThAnkyou so much for your advice ...am painting the bar cabinet in Annie s emperor silk ...will be clear waxing it tomorrow then black wax ..Hope I manage to get the same effect as yours 😁
It looks great! Could you share the finish product?
Did you prep this surface with anything (other than washing it), for example sanding? I have a hutch I want to do this with ❤️
So beautifully easy!
Back then I did not use Primer, so just follow my video on here for Prep, which walks thru each step and leave out Primer if you want. I do however use primer about 90% of the time now as a best practice for long lasting finishes.
kim kammeraad here’s that video; czcams.com/video/Sa9UOJPGxpI/video.html
kim kammeraad yes! Painting isn’t really all that hard, it’s more knowing the steps and having the patience to try and learn them ☺️
Where can I buy the clear wax and black wax?
Thank you for informative video. I do have couple questions. Do you buff clear wax prior to adding the black wax accent? Do you wait until clear is completely dry before adding black wax? First time using chalk paint and I’m trying it out on bookcase… want to make sure I’m getting it right. Thank you, Mary
You can buff before or not, either way works. And no, you don’t have to wait for the clear wax to dry
So glad to have found this. We just painted our old oak hutch with red chalk paint, and we're deciding what to do next. I want to try the black wax, my hubby wants to keep it clear. If we choose to add black wax, how long do you have to let the clear wax dry? Can it dry too long or too little? Thank you!
Depending on the clear wax you can do it right away. And no there’s no time limit, anytime after. So if you wanted to leave it for a while and see, you can do that and add black wax later 👍
@@RefurbishedGentlemanTelevision Wow, thanks for the fast response! I think I'll take your advice--put the clear wax on and live with it like that for a while.
@@RefurbishedGentlemanTelevision ..if we leave the coat of clear wax as it is ...n if we want to apply black wax after a couple of days ..can we apply it straight away on the already coated clear wax or do we need to reapply a fresh coat of clear wax
@@harpreetrandhawa1604 no need for another coat of Clear 👍 simply apply the black wax
@@RefurbishedGentlemanTelevision thanks a lot for the prompt response ..grateful for the same
Can you do these steps on sanded furniture
Sandy Williar I don’t see why not.
My daughter wants me to do her dresser but she wants a gloss finish so do I use a glaze instead of a wax finish
Sandy Williar yes, paint, gloss top coat, then glaze, then gloss top coat 👍
Thanks
