Low Budget Chalk Paint Makeover / The Waverly White Hutch

This week we're going to do things a little differently. I'll walk you through the video instead of the text we usually do and this week we'll focus on how to flip furniture and get the maximum benefit. Outside of that, one of the most important things when flipping furniture and

paint

ing furniture is to clean your piece, no matter how clean it looks, trust me, it is very dirty and you will find out once you start cleaning, you must clean inside and out. out. which means removing all the drawers, opening everything, cleaning the inside, outside, top, bottom, behind and if you don't clean the pieces the

paint

is not supposed to stick or stick but it will feel, so just clean the parts and make sure you do that. the prep work that's all you have to do in most cases all you have to do is prepare your pieces so this week I'm going to use the cheapest

chalk

paint on the market and that's where we paint , you can find it at Walmart.

I will also use tear protection to seal the piece and I bought this brush for a dollar and 80 cents at Walmart. I want to show you that you don't have to use the fancy and expensive rush to flip furniture and make money. Waverly top The paint is the cheapest on the market. This bottle costs less than six dollars. They don't have as many colors as you, you don't have fancy colors, so you're going to have to mix it up a little bit if you want to get the different colors.

white

you want black blue green basic colors they got it very thick chipped paint very good coverage so that's my little secret to be honest you know it didn't hurt the pain I let it go I'm starting to believe in myself life will be sweet again so Again, it's sweet why I choose to keep this hardware, even though I don't really like it because the hardware can end up being very expensive and take away from your profits because at the end of the day, if you paint the piece

white

. color and you paint or zip up the existing hardware, no one is really going to care so paint over it, just emphasize that your piece will look nicer with some fancy hardware, but we are here on

budget

and try to obtain the greatest possible profit. so just go through it and paint it, rise above it all, meet all my challenges, so I removed this decoration that was inside the hatch, it was attached to the glass and I'm going to paint it because I think it's going to be a nice contrast.

I live inside the unpainted hatch to save on costs. This is what we use for a layer. Both pieces leave more than half, but come on, that's pretty good when you're painting furniture white. Try to keep your black dogs away because the hair is. you will go to your furniture and then you will have to ship it or you will have to sell pressure win with don't do it sometimes when you use white paint your piece will bleed what that means is once you paint everything you will see something come up like stain your piece as if you added something to it but you didn't, it is actually wood bleeding most of a plant, that will happen with mahogany and cherry wood like pink food and a little water, but it is the most common. it's mahogany mahogany will bleed every time you use light colors when that happens use shellac three coats of cherry wood mahogany any like red wood you want to use a lot of shellac that way you seal your piece in case you've already started and you see pink here and there, not too much, you can stop right there, let the paint dry and apply shellac, put three coats of that.

Usually when that happens, I spray, let it dry, spray, let it dry, spray three times when the shellac is dry. I continue painting my pieces so that the third layer is completely dry. The next step is distressing. When it comes to distressing, most people will like a light distressing. Some people make it very distressing. A cheap look that is needed by the right customer and takes longer to sell. "I'm trying to flip a piece quickly and get the most out of it, so just play it safe and do something very light and distressing. I feel like I'm home forever.

It's wrong. I should feel a lot better. The whole thing world does it, but it does it because it is distressing. I'm using 120 sandpaper and I'm using this old sanding block, so in the video you can see that I was painting on the glass, because

chalk

paint is extremely easy to clean up if you don't want to paint on your glass, you can use tape and protect the glass, if you don't want to stick it, you can paint it and I'll show you how to easily remove that chalk paint on your glass using a razor blade, okay, so I'm done with this bandage and now our piece is full of dust.

Now you can see it's everywhere, so now we have to clean up all that fine dust. I'm going to use a towel and I'm just going to make it wet, so I'm going to wipe it all over and that way we're sure that our piece is completely clean and ready for protection, so now that we have our piece done and ready for protection, I'm going to use this varnish. by Waverly is a non-yellowing matte finish. The direction says to place it on top of the surface and roll it like this. You're not supposed to shake it and it says to use a fine bristle brush, so I'm using this cheap brush.

That was it guys, we got this beautiful display case, we painted it with a very cheap chalk paint. Waverly and I sealed with non-yellowing tear varnish. They also have a type of liquid wax for protection. I find it more difficult to work with her. that this varnish is why I chose the varnish I was a little distressed I wanted that country house to look that country house clear you look white cellar easy everyone wants to have it right now it fits in every home in every room a bright polish illuminates your space I see why it is very easy to sell white because who does not want a white piece of furniture in their home does not require any skill.

I used the cheapest brush I could have bought out there, like a really cheap brush. It does the job if you have a fancy brush your job will be easier yes but this is like I just want to show you that you can complete the project if you don't have the money to invest in an expensive brush. You can buy a cheap one later, when you earn some money, you can invest in better brushes when using the varnish. Be careful, use very thin coats, go light, it is better to put on two coats to go back, if you miss some stains, then go heavy. very easily with varnishes or some type of polyurethane protection so that they build up in the corners and those parts will yellow if you want to play it safe and don't want to worry about anything yellowing on you just your shellac use three coats of shellac. and you're fine, absolutely nothing is going to scream or our piece is ready it's beautiful it's sealed it's dry it's ready to go to its new home I'm going to take some good photos of it and I'm going to put it up for sale I'm going to put it up for sale for 475 because I live in a very small area, small town area, I can get more than that, I'll probably sell it for 425 or something like that.

I'm fine. give yourself some space if you live in the big city you can ask for a lot more as you know you can ask for a lot more for your pieces if you want to know more about the business side and pricing and oh that side of the business join me on Monday. for my podcast i will talk about flipping furniture, the whole podcast will only talk about flipping furniture, buying furniture, selling money, profit, so if you are interested in learning, you have to flip furniture for a living or as a hobby or for any reason. join me at 6 p.m.
