I absolutely can not thank you enough for how detailed you are as you go. It makes me feel like I could do this! Your work is stunning.

older pieces of furniture are much better made than modern furniture. And you just Ramped it up into the 21st century .Another amazing make over .WOW

[@ChocolateJewels]

You have a very calm demeanor. Watching you work is hypnotic. You have a great eye and talent for what you do. That blue with the glaze, nice! Great experience, thank you!

[@goldbergje]

I'd like to see more projects incorporating color. This is beautiful!

[@TheGbow0704]

That turned out to be one of my favorites you've done, wasn't too sure about the blue at first, but after you added the dark it turned out stunning. Nice job

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thank you so much!

[@kiddozoo]

I really like that this had no gold wax applied. Perfect!

[@mascottie]

I’ve been watching you for years and this is one of my all time favorites that you have done. The blue looked good as it was just painted but the glaze made it look ten times better.

[@reallyreallyrhonda]

Right?

[@carolannjohnson2398]

You do awesome work ,I love it.

[@susantretakis9915]

I love when you break out the different colors! This looks great!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thank you so much!

[@ayanaali546]

Wow, wood stain to make it look like a vintage paint job 🤩 nice!

[@gailblissitt4504]

stunning transformation……you work so methodically and explain as you go. Good to know what products work and when to use them. Your vlogs are empowering !!!

[@jocolgin5171]

I love your work and am happy to see you use products that everyone can purchase locally at a decent cost -thank you!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Glad you like them!

[@JackieOdonnel]

I could legit watch you work all day long. Very mesmerizing. Restoration work is so cool, giving tired old pieces some Youth serum.

[@kimbwf629]

I am not a fan of bold paint on furniture but this has converted me. It is beautiful!! Great work. 🙂

[@anastasiarose9003]

That looks fabulous. I am very impressed with the amount of manual labor you put in instead doing machine everything.

[@entr3_nou5]

I like how you keep the tops of the dressers you paint just stained; idk, purely colourful furniture feels too modern to me and looks a little cheaper than it is. The top makes it look luxurious.

[@tonidavis3617]

This was an EXCELLENT video! You explained everything plainly and thoroughly! THANK YOU!! Need more videos like this!

[@mariamidura3089]

Stumbled onto your KZbin videos, just beautiful work! Quick question, after each video, would it be possible to list all the products you use, a kind of “shopping list”? Cheers

[@darlenesmith1858]

Wow! what you do to furniture can only be classified as art!! You are so talented and thank you for sharing with us. I had never seen stain used for a glaze. It is gorgeous!!!

[@sandrastaton19]

Love that blue!

[@patpowers853]

Another show of your creativity and attention to detail. Very nice job.

[@lolamaxi2]

I’m so in love with everything you do. This blue piece is amazing!💙

[@dianedeck9790]

wow , I kept thinking I dont think I like that blue color, but once it was done with the glazing I love it. This piece is gorgeous.

[@donnaborgesano2046]

I was not initially sold on the blue but I will say that came out so beautiful. I am a newbie and have been watching many videos and I have enjoyed watching your videos. I hope to start my first project soon.

I just ran into your channel By accident, I watched this video I am a designer and I was amazed at what a great job you did such a beautiful finish on that piece of furniture. I have subscribed to your channel and I will continue to watch your videos great job keep up the good work.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for subscribing! I'm trying to get another video out by this weekend. We'll see. :\

[@maureenfloyd8759]

You are a great teacher of your craft. Thanks for showing us how to do it correctly.

[@rickyblabla2796]

The top is made from a veneered mdf. That’s why the edge shows the particle board once the top is machined and you have a thin real wood top.

[@mzzcookiecook]

I know that this comment was directed at Shabby, but thanks for that input. I stripped a Broyhill sofa table and was surprised to see particle board. My table looked similar to the piece in this video. I was surprised that Broyhill didn't use all wood. Anyway, I will move forward with my project!

[@joannaprine7821]

I like how the color for the top and the stain used over the blue matches the hardware. Nice.

[@anibird3144]

Hi there! I'm amazed at the awesome completion of this project! Damn I've never been able to get my stripper to come off that clean! I wasn't digging the blue but holy s. It looks like a million bucks. I love that you used stain for a glaze! Awesome job. I've subscribed. I love learning new techniques! TFS D

[@debigates3033]

This was mesmerizing to watch. I wasn't sure about the blue, but once it was finished, WOW!!

[@dessertman1181]

Turned out perfect I can’t wait to watch the next one and one of my new favorite channels great job

[@elizabethabbott9177]

What a super transformation, enabling such a pretty set of drawers to continue to be used. Love it!

[@ngerick]

I didn't know about this glazing technique of applying stain over paint, but man did it hug those crevices and make the main color stand out. Great work!

[@navlagsinned]

The blue is gorgeous. Its the perfect color for that piece.

[@roxannemilne6406]

Just found your channel, so my first video!! The drawers are stunning!! Love them so much!!! Going to watch some of your other videos!

I wasn't sure how I felt about the blue when you started it but it turned out beautifully. Lovely work, thank you for sharing.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thank you! 😊

[@n8vtxn935]

This is a beautiful piece. Typically not a fan of color on wood but this came out so nice! The stained top, shade of blue with the glazing and the hardware... perfection.

[@dannettekey8375]

I just love the bold colors you paint with.

[@patty237]

Absolutely love the bold blue on this piece...

[@alenerabold3488]

I didn't think I would like the paint color but I do.

[@JamieMSmith]

Thanks for these tutorial videos! I have recently began to do this to my old furniture around the house with the stained top and painted bottom. I have gotten better at each piece, but have learned so much from watching your videos like how to antique glaze. I would have never guessed in a million years you rub the stain over the paint and then back off. I recently found a farmhouse table that somebody left at a dumpster. I stripped it, stained the top whiskey barrel gray and painted the bottom an antique white color. My wife was skeptical at first because the table was so scratched and ugly and honey oak stained. But after I finished it, she was amazed and so was I! 😆

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Awesome! That's how it goes sometimes!

[@mzzcookiecook]

Jamie, not sure if you took a before picture, but can you possibly show a finished pic? I would love to see it.

[@effacalorie]

Hmm... I'm new to this, but how long do you have to practice furniture restoration until you stop giggling at things like "make sure to get the stripper residue off of my wood?" Regardless, the piece is gorgeous. The new color really makes you appreciate the details

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Ive been at this for 8 years. Making comments about wet stripper and rubbing my wood, especially in videos, never ceases to make me smile. :)

[@ladonnajohnson8945]

I absolutely love everything you do.

[@jenniferbaker7632]

[@valerieguzek8401]

Wow amazing job!!! I love the color! Looking forward to work on my old furniture belong from my grandparents this summer. Love your videos and learning more from you.

Awesome! Thank you!

So far I like all of the choices you have made I also appreciate the educational aspect you provide for someone like me who has some furniture I want to do for my home and would make a mess of it without this. I will keep watching

Oh bummer I was just at Walmart I know I forgot something. The stripper!!!! Always love your work. Be safe stay safe.❤️💕

Same here! Thanks for watching!

[@elvagraham4758]

Love your paint color and the dark glaze really sets it off

[@sharonvallery4746]

Love your videos, your pieces are beautiful and I'm learning a lot! I was wondering, how do you decide whether to strip or sand off the old finish? I have a French Provincial dresser I want to refinish.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thanks for watching my videos. 😉 You strip if you want to stain. You scuff sand if you want to paint. You can try to sand to the bare wood to stain but I prefer stripper.

[@virginiasoskin9082]

Wow, the staining really dresses up all the details.

[@henrikh.4843]

Oh wow, that became so beautiful, you can actually bring it over to me here in Luxembourg right now, I have just the right place for it hehe. No, but seriously I wouldn't have done it any different way, love the finish and especially the colour choice. Great job, thumbs up :)

[@patty237]

And if you cant find that address just come on over to Tracy, CA...lol

[@franceswalker2627]

I loved the bold blue color even before you toned it down!

[@bluecurlygirl]

Not so shabby at all young lad. That was one fine job. Love the colour. Loved it before you put the stain on but it looks stunning as with the stain. You should use that colour a bit more methinks. Nice wee find. Beautiful side table. Love the detail on it.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@sodorflubbs5000]

That is so beautiful. I love the colours. It’s hard to believe that it’s started out as $25 find. I would love to have it in my flat. The blue is so vibrant. And the fact that you stained the top and didn’t paint it ,IMO, not only makes the blue colour stand out more, it makes the whole piece stand out. Also what you did with the blue paint dulls the blue down without taking away any of its vibrancy. Well done.

[@jonvincentmusic]

Just me who preferred it before...

[@anns1921]

Your work is excellent but my preference is still the original look. I am beyond impressed with these amazing pieces of furniture you are finding for such a great price.

[@michaelmano7261]

do you sell this furniture? id love to know how much they end up going for

[@b.r.h.1038]

Not speaking for him BUT...it Depends on a few things. You can google for a more detailed answer BUT for this exact piece? It COULD sell for anything ranging from 150/175ish up to 1k++. Type of wood, maker/brand, condition...

[@Korgon2013]

Pretty, but I've found some mahogany antiques done this way and my heart cringed.

[@Korgon2013]

Taylor oh I agree. Often old furniture gets junked vs restored/refinished, I just think it’s tacky, in poor taste and a fad that I wish would end. Are they giving life to old furniture? Yes? Do I hate it? Yes. Would I rather they restore it to it original condition? Yes. Can I stop it? Nope. Is there a chance it would get junked otherwise? Yup. Am I torn? Yes. Does anyone care what I think? Nope.

[@waygoblue4729]

@@Korgon2013 You are the first one I've seen that feels this way; I am with you in this opinion. I have a cousin who has a business of painting old furniture in colors like this, and her work is beautiful. When/if the years roll around and the furniture this generation is refinishing needs yet another refinishing, I do wonder what will be said of our generation for this practice. They may love it, Idk. I also have to remember that some antiques were painted originally with milk paint, etc. and the wood never was meant to be seen, and it seems to me that a few years ago people were stripping those and staining/varnishing the original wood to the lightest wood color possible. In the case of this video, the furniture received an upgrade, it looks like, but I cringe too when I see an antique piece of "higher end" woods painted over. I'm glad we have the freedom to do what we want with what we own, so to each his/her own. Loved your answer, btw - such a gracious response that I need to copy more myself! But, this is all just my opinion, and as an aunt of mine put it nicely, "Opinions are like noses, everybody's got one". I think I'll go do what Taylor suggested and read a book or something, lol! :)

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

@@waygoblue4729 I've got a video idea: How about instead of me finding unpainted used furniture and painting it, I go and seek out some painted furniture that I KNOW is an antique underneath, strip it, and take it back to a wood finish. Maybe not original wood finish but something that would still be in demand today (often darker woods). Let me know. Its been on my mind. Thanks for commenting

[@Korgon2013]

That Shabby Guy that would make us purists happy. However, I asked Tom Johnson of Thomas Johnson Restoration (his channel is amazing) what he thought of shabby chic painting and his answer surprised me- he doesn’t care for it but if they aren’t altering the physical structure of the piece- who cares. I remember when Jon Peters painted a purple heart piece and his commenters flipped out and fought in the comments section. I can’t afford Purple Heart, so I use poplar, plus my most recent saw blade is from 1987 to go on my 3/4” arbor Boice Crane 2500, and doesn’t like woods with Janka scores over 8/900. Have a great weekend and I hope your family is ok during these times.
