Faux Bamboo Bali Hai

Ah faux bamboo furniture, I just love you so much.  I don’t know what it is about it, but I can’t get enough!  If you’re not familiar with the furniture-speak, lemme introduce you.

This is a dresser from the Bali Hai collection by Henry Link.

Nothing that special, right?  Bedrooms all over the country had this set in the 1970’s.

Truth be told, I think it’s really ugly in the original state.

But something magical happens when these are painted in high gloss!

I’ve spent several years (and a lotta money lol) to perfect that reflection.  I’m still not perfect at it…but it’s looking pretty darn good

    Hi Kayla I absolutely ❤️ your work! I was introduced to your work thru’ Thea. I refinish furniture too & am based in Auckland, NZ.

    I would also love to try my hand at these glossy finishes however I do not get the Hollandlac here. So I have decided to try with another marine grade glossy finish. Also I do not have a facility whereby I can spray paint so I will be actually brushing on. I wanted your advise about it — will brushing on not give the same mirrored finish ? I am quite scared to try — refinished furniture is quite slow to sell in NZ hence I want to try a different finish.

    Any advice greatly appreciated!

    thankyou
