Flipping Thrifted Furniture for Profit | Layering Paint for a distressed look | Adding Transfers

When you chalk paint a piece of furniture so that it is completely neutral, sometimes that means it's also not very interesting. Today I'm going to upcycle a buffet that was already painted with Dixie Belle's Yankee Blue and give it some Boho vibes to it can catch the idea of a buyer who will love all the layers, peacock transfers, and subtle details, in their home decor.

How fun to see how the dry brushing goes so well with the transfers and stencils!!!! I can’t even with solid colors after watching you mix colors! Beautiful!

I think the blue was beautiful too and can't believe it didn't sell. But I do love the new look! I really love the inside of the drawers. What a great idea! ❤❤

The blue was beautiful, but now with the new colors, it has an oriental feel. the drawers added a wow statement. Beautiful

My “unbiased” comment - great as usual :)

WOW, for doing a collab with Jami Ray Vintage, you sure did not use her products. Other than a JRV stencil brush, you did not use her stencils or her decoupage papers. Why would you chose this project to put on this collab?
