Ep. 24 Amazing RESTORATION of a VINTAGE DRESSER...Furniture Restoration

You don't want to miss this one. I found this Painted Mid-Century 6 Drawer Lowboy Dresser at the thrift store for $35. The Dresser was made by Drexel Furniture Company, one of my favorite furniture manufacturers from the 1960s. Because of all the details on this dresser, removing the paint will prove to be difficult. In this video we will discuss the possible new furniture trends for 2022. You won't believe the transformation! Thank you for watching.

As a woodworker, I have always had a hard time painting wood furniture, regardless of trends. This is an absolutely beautiful restoration, great job.

[@MadCityModern]

Wow. Thanks Brad

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Oh YEAAAAHHHH! Knocked it clear out of the park! That finish just glows!! 🙏 Also- you totally nailed the cozy part- I totally want to hang out by that fire with hot chocolate! Hahaha Nice job, Barry. ❤️❤️

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you Angie! I love your videos and can't believe how many of your videos I found as I was searching for Odie's Ideas. I think I have watched all your videos : ) Barry

[@Flippingdrawers]

Totally agree with you Angie !

[@jppurves7837]

Amazing transformation. It always makes me sad to see quality old furniture that has been, more often than not, badly painted. I blame the shabby chic craze of the recent past. Let's hope more people will learn to appreciate the natural beauty of wood and furniture design, be it mid-century or earlier periods.

[@MadCityModern]

Let's hope it is just a trend

[@esmeraldagreen1992]

My thoughts to a T JP Purves

[@andrewdriver3318]

It’s always part of a pyramid scheme too. They buy the paint and the ‘right’ to sell the paint. But they have to prepay and buy in bulk. Worse it is always cheap paint and part of some magic system that doesn’t require sanding or prep work. It ALWAYS bubbles and flakes off eventually.

[@arcatia66]

the ikea minimalism and farmhouse looks are also hitting antiques hard. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen gorgeous pieces just painted bright white and left that way or then “distressed” to look all worn, without care for the actual item at all

[@andrewdriver3318]

@@arcatia66 unfortunately I often have to tell people the antique phonograph, radio, or tv they want to sell was only worth money BEFORE they turned it into the kitschy fish tank, bar, “art” piece.

[@more5347]

there's nothing worse than a lovely piece of furniture destroyed with paint. Love that you're restoring them.

I agree

Not sure why someone covered up such a breathtakingly beautiful piece. Thank you so much for giving it its beautiful life back.

Just saw someone on Instagram painting a quarter sawn oak gorgeous dresser. Aghhh, all it needed was a refresh - never paint. It hurts 💔 inside to see that. Just subscribed, beautiful job. I will enjoy watching your other projects.

[@deniseangonese564]

@@MadCityModern When I see real wood painted …I cringe 😬. I swear I’m going to have my Cherry dining set cremated with me to keep it from being painted

[@jomichat1975]

Painting a piece of furniture like this one is a "criminal" act. This is beautiful. Great job.

[@MadCityModern]

Hi Jo. It is certainly frustrating spending days trying to remove all the paint. Thank you for the support and the comment. Barry

[@marcellamance1812]

I am blown away at this restoration. Your hard work and patience paid off in a big way. The hidden drawer is so cool! I keep all the cards and notes that my nieces and nephews have given me over the years and I would use that little drawer for those keepsakes. Transcend and Flipping Drawers are awesome channels. I look forward to their videos, along with yours, every week. Have a great day!

Hi Marcella. This is the best idea yet for that hidden drawer. You obviously have some things that are very special. Thank you for sharing. Barry

You are a first American that I found very soft spoken and well manner when speaking, I am not into mid century furniture but it was enjoyable because of you, cheers my friend.

[@MadCityModern]

Wow. Thank you for this feedback! Barry

[@edhead5296]

Beautiful restoration.... I'm all for painted furniture, but some people have to learn when to leave it be.... it was so satisfying seeing the paint being scraped off!

[@MadCityModern]

Hi Ed. Thank you for the feedback. I agree, scraping paint is very satisfying. Barry

[@alans1816]

That looks so much better than before! And I like your thoughts. While painting is always an option, I like wood because of its inherent beauty. The asymmetry of painting is that it's a lot more work to undo than to do in the first place. I wonder if a layer of shellac under the paint could be encouraged, partly as a way to make it more readily removed.

[@MadCityModern]

This is one of my favorite comments. This is the approach I am trying to take. Saying it is ok for others to paint, but just not my first choice. Regarding laminate, I'll paint over that all day everyday : ) Barry

[@gailbutler3310]

That dresser is magnificent! As always you did a fantastic job . I'm looking forward to your new channel. Just don't overextend yourself. I also watch Angie and Jay's channels. Always a pleasant ending like yours.

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you Gail. I will try to do one video per week per channel. I think that will be the limit. Thank you for your support. Barry

[@katydidiy]

If you think about painted furniture and/or house hold woodwork, it often times protects the wood until someone with the talent and ambition comes along to restore the pieces to a good outcome. The reveal is so rewarding!

[@MadCityModern]

I have thought about that same thing. The unfortunate part is, it takes an hour or 2 to paint it and days to remove the paint. Oh well, fortunate to continue finding great pieces. And thank you for the support. Barry

[@MrMarcoboy1900]

Such a beautiful and classy piece of furniture

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you. Barry

[@willg125]

Drexel definitely has my heart when it comes to furniture. My dad inherited a beautiful desk and I grabbed myself an end table from a junk removal job for an older lady that was otherwise going to a landfill, both of which are thankfully free of paint and in great shape. They made some fantastic and sturdy furniture over the years, and finding pieces in good shape is definitely worth the money. Well done, amazing job! Just a bit of constructive criticism for future videos: If you have the ability with the camera you use, try to set the focus manually for some of your close up shots so that your hand movement doesn't cause it to lose focus. Otherwise You do a fantastic job and I'm glad I found your channel!

[@MadCityModern]

Well Said! I have been pleased with the quality of all the Drexel pieces I have found. Glad you feel the same. What I realized was, when working with gloved hands, I often bump certain settings on the camera and don't notice until it is too late. Doing my best to keep the quality top notch. Please keep giving constructive criticism in the future. To some, it may seem harsh, but I truly appreciate it. Barry

[@willg125]

I would say, that back in the day, that little hidden drawer would have been where people would put jewelry or other small valuables when they left the house for a vacation. My mom used to do the same thing, stashing anything valuable in a sock and sticking it behind a dresser drawer.

[@MadCityModern]

I think it is amazing

[@angelabstractart6168]

It has a warm finish that I adore! Love the hidden drawer! I need one now! 😄 Amazing clean up of the hardware, I had no idea it could be done without harsh chemicals! 👍 I will sub to your tool restoration channel as I find tools fascinating and have collected many different old ones.

[@MadCityModern]

Hi Angel. Thank you for such a detailed comment. I love this. Would love to hear about the things you have collected. Barry

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I love how this turned out. So good! I watched a few of your other videos and bought the detail scrapers you used. Got to use them this last Saturday on a small drop leaf table I’m working on. OMG… I hated them. UNTIL… i finally got the groove. I am still working on the table but I found it more relaxing than I thought I would scraping off all the finish. Definitely enjoy that more than using a stripper or sanding. I used your link to purchase. I see a few other things I may have to purchase as well.

[@MadCityModern]

This makes perfect sense. I hated using the scrapers the first few times. You said it best. Once you get in a groove it can be relaxing and is actually much better than using the stripper. Thank you for sharing this

Words can't express the feelings I get when looking at an old piece of furniture. I'm extremely nostalgic and really enjoy seeing pieces like this treated with respect. It does my heart good. It's like it had a quick trip to the hospital followed by a long stay at the spa. Watching the wood being brought back to life and the hardware being restored is mesmerizing and satisfying. It turned out beautifully. Seeing it fully restored, relaxing in front of the fire was the ultimate ending. I absolutely LOVE Angie from Transcend Furniture Gallery! She is so humble, so meticulous, and is such a good teacher. You actually remind me a bit of her in the modest style of your channel. 🤍

[@Dakiniwoman]

Barry... I love the quality of this piece and the way you finished it with the oil. I would love to know what is in that oil product. The secret compartment is a great feature! I was fortunate enough to buy a bedroom suite, some years ago, that had already been refinished with an oil finish. Inside the drawers it says Gibbard Furniture Shops Limited Established 1837 Napanee Canada. The logo is not a paper label, it is burned into the wood. The suite has a kind of Victorian look to it. The tops of all the pieces are solid wood, but I don't know what kind of wood it is. The legs have tiny wheels on the bottoms. All the hardware is exquisite and solid brass. I got the bed, a high dresser, a lower dresser with large mirror and a vanity dresser with large mirror, all matching pieces. I really treasure it. The Gibbard Company is no longer in existence, but I think it had a long run and always produced high quality pieces. The mirrors do show that they are old, but I have no idea how old my set is, as it was purchased at a "garage sale". The whole house full of furniture was for sale and I also got an incredible sofa with matching chairs that I had professionally re-upholstered in burgundy velvet.
