Ugly Duckling turned Bee-utiful Swan?

[@PrincessDeeDee67]

omg the stencil is absolutely to die for, what a honey of a cabinet, I see the cabinet living a wonderful second chance and those drawers will bee a hive of activity bee-ing slid open and shut regularly. Love the design and colour choices on this cabinet.

[@shannonericksen1291]

Not a swan. She is a QUEEN 👑

[@designsonyouinparis]

If those drawers could talk! Thank you for giving this special piece a new lease on life.

[@SabsRehabs]

I am sure they have stories to tell!!!

[@thedareneewilliams8360]

I love that paper you put inside the drawers classy

[@ashleywright8686]

Scraping off old veneer is extremely satisfying 😊

[@janetrodriguez914]

What an amazing difference. Not only did you save that piece from the trash but someone is going to have a piece to love in their home. Great job, I’m impressed.

[@michellepeters6532]

Please never apologize for taking time to show the repairs! We all learn something from your patience and determination! Lol! 😁👍🏻

[@SabsRehabs]

Thank you!

[@MaureenTheTemp]

This has to be one of the most dramatic before and afters I've seen!! So gorgeous - can't believe how much work went into it, but what a payoff!!

[@PrincessDeeDee67]

[@christinefeucht8668]

Breathtaking. I sure didn’t see it coming together. Your vision was spot on.

[@thecourtlyalchemist]

The original piece was giving me hives, but after the make-over is a real honey. I'm bee-dazzled by your talent.

[@SabsRehabs]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@sharonbland3843]

A lot of hard work, but the end result was worth it. Looks lovely.

[@SabsRehabs]

Thank you!

[@flhiker]

Hi, I applaud your willingness to take on a project like this. As someone who has refinished many pieces of furniture. The thing you may have overlooked on this piece is that broken leg became damaged by termites. You can see the telltale signs of the channeling and tiny holes. If you see this in the future you may want to bag it and use a termite fogger before bring it into your home. Hope this helped and great job.

[@kiimmig2293]

Beautiful! I’m a big fan of black and the stencil 🥰 I about fell out a my chair when you said Guthrie Oklahoma! I lived there a few years in the 90’s. But as my little neighbors said “I moved back to the Hightop Mountains in Idaho. Good Memories ♥️

[@SabsRehabs]

I have lived on Oklahoma my whole life. Just moved to Guthrie in November though. We love it. Such a cute small town for once being the capitol of our state. ❤

I have to say the stencil with the golden bees make the piece so gorgeous!!!!

[@SabsRehabs]

Thank you! ❤

[@ihinkelmann]

I'm glad you showed us each repair. I learned more. You are amazing

[@dianesmith9512]

Wow! What a transformation! Gorgeous!

[@karendooks6244]

The veneer will come off quicker if you use a hot iron over the wet cloths. As the heat softens the glue, furniture of this age usually used animal glue which is reversible

[@marinamartinez6886]

Love the black and gold, the bees make it extra! Great job and thanks for sharing your process. 👍👍👍

[@staceyparkes1217]

Wow what a transformation, just beautiful. Thank you

This is not only one of the best ugly duckling challenge entries, but one of the most amazing rescues I've seen. I'm pretty brave about trying to save furniture, but I'd have bypassed that one altogether. Bravo for not only saving her, but turning her into a work of art!
