Can I Save This Antique from GOODWILL? DIY Chalk Paint Makeover [Beginner Friendly!]

Hi! I'm Julie and welcome to Julie's Vintage Love! I own a small Antique and Vintage resale business. I shop at thrift stores, estate sales, antique stores, and garage/yard sales to source antique and vintage items to re-sell for a profit.

Are you ready for a furniture flip? In this video, I’m tackling the restoration of a $100 Antique buffet I found at Goodwill! I’ll be using chalk paint to give this piece a stunning makeover, and I’ll show you every step of the process—from sanding and prepping to applying the first coat of paint.
🔹 Project Breakdown:
✔️ Removing candle wax using a hairdryer
✔️ Sanding and prepping the antique wood
✔️ Choosing the right paint and brushes
✔️ Applying the first coat of Rust-Oleum Chalk Paint
✔️ Tips for painting detailed woodwork
This is Part 1 of the transformation—next, I’ll be distressing and sealing the piece to bring out its character. If you love furniture flips, thrift hauls, budget makeovers, and DIY home decor, don’t forget to LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for more projects!
