Apothecary dresser with a secret storage | Halloween Challenge furniture makeover. LOTR inspired .

#diy #furnituremakeover #woodworking #restoration #trashtotreasure #apothecary
This Challenge is hosted by Lemons to Lemonade TX. The goal was to create fall inspired , magical, spell-binding or spooky pieces of furniture.
Link to the playlist with all of the other channels who participated in this challenge:
• Halloween/Fall Furnitu...
My piece was a 20£ vintage dresser which I sanded down, and used a router to create many small faux drawers. I replaced damaged veneer and applied Danish oil to make the wood look beautiful. I used orange scented bees wax for the inside of the dresser, the back and the drawers. Label pulls were attached to complete the look.
Thanks for watching.

I absolutely love the fact you left the wood natural without stating it! it looks incredibly elegant in its simplest state.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you so much Liliana!

[@kerylcooper2314]

I love to watch you work. You take things no one would want in their house and make them beautiful and useful! Thank you ❤️🧓🏻🌵🍀🍀🍀🍀👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🛐🇺🇸☮️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉

[@kayhenry6293]

Omg! That is stunning! It’s outstanding! It’s beautiful! You’ve captured the timeless grace of that piece; you deserve to be very proud.

[@Flippingdrawers]

That’s so kind of you to say! 🙌🏻 thank you so much and glad you like it. More good stuff coming up 😉 have you see the latest video? I’m pretty sure you’d love it if you enjoyed this one 👌

[@kedrynevans6240]

What a fun piece! Glam goth is the perfect description. You create such beautiful art!

[@louisesorensen1899]

I love the result! The only suggestion I would make, would be to write the numbers on the drawers in an Elfin looking script.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Great idea! but my handwriting it terrible 😂 whoever buys this can easily replace the inserts 😉

[@kayeyeager8006]

@@Flippingdrawers stencils fixes handwriting, personal experience talking.

[@Flippingdrawers]

@@kayeyeager8006 that’s a good idea but didn’t have any.

[@grannypantsification]

My thoughts exactly! You can download fonts or even jpegs to print on parchment. It is amazing without it, but would add that extra authentic touch 💕

[@emilymulcahy]

It's just the theme of the Halloween video, ffs carry an idea too far

[@znycelondon5313]

A magnificent piece! You gave this piece of furniture the attention it had been needing. Your attention to detail and restoration was very enjoyable to watch! Amazed at the transformation of the drawer fronts…….absolutely beautiful. Final result was awesome🥰

[@Flippingdrawers]

Awesome, thank you!

[@williamsiyanko4631]

Jay love your music you have during your time fixing your furniture. Great job keep up the great work you do.😂😂😂😂😂

[@susannechinn647]

Jay, I like your entry the best. While it is not spooky Halloween themed, you truly brought this old lady back to life. Your dedication to restoring, repairing and making sure every part of the piece is clean is admirable. I have watched half of the other channels in this challenge and I am not impressed.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@queenbee3647]

You and Barry do beautiful work! Metal wheels for feet would have been attractive as well. Give it that steampunk look. Good job!

[@shawnrobertson9618]

Love how the drawers are kind of “color blocked” with the different tones of wood. Nice job!

[@WobblyBiped]

Stunning transformation! At the first of the video, I thought this would be a card catalog like we used in libraries in ancient days. The result is charming, and I especially like the "secret" jewelry boxes on the top. the variety of colors of the wood is another charmer. Super-nice work!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you so much!

[@nicolasmantou2677]

Absolutely gorgeous, I would definitely keep my books and potions there 🤗😄💜

[@Flippingdrawers]

ha ha ha thanks mate

[@suegreene1]

A practical furniture became a very elegant clothes dresser

[@chrislewis2792]

The paint used in some of the previous videos is nice, but just can't compare to the beauty in natural wood. I would think anyone would be proud to own this piece.

This is such an elegant restoration. The wood is so beautiful, and I’m glad you didn’t stain or paint it. I absolutely love the little compartments on the top.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@NailahRoberts]

As somebody who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014, I appreciate you so much ❤

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 🙏 and I hope you’re well

[@NailahRoberts]

@@Flippingdrawers I'm in remission but continuing with treatment for 10 years to reduce the risk of it returning, feel very very lucky to live near one the best cancer centres in the UK and to receive a new treatment under the NHS that not all people can get. It costs £500 per injection every 3 weeks for a year and defiantly helped in saving my life.😁

[@Flippingdrawers]

@@NailahRobertsGlad to hear that! Stay safe and watch our collaboration next week 😉

[@NailahRoberts]

@@Flippingdrawers I certainly will 👍

[@dochubbell]

This work brought life back for a piece that may have ended up in a landfill. Your attention to detail as usual is beyond excellent. The fact you didn't stain the wood and let the natural color stand out is also excellent. This is a total keeper with a new lease on life. WOW! Thanks for the touch of multi faux drawers. A different imaginative choice. NEXT........Lol

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you for the beautiful comment🤩

[@mascottie]

You did an amazing job. This should be the winner of the challenge 😀

[@Flippingdrawers]

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you so much! Glad you like it 🥰

Absolutely love the drawers, what a clever idea. The natural wood tones blend so well. I’d proudly put such a piece of art in my home. Great job!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thanks so much 😊

[@juanitaskelton448]

The result is dramatic...the top is so interesting and it has such character and a sort of timeless old but new look...stupendous work!

[@Flippingdrawers]

That was a fun challenge 😊

[@marilyngriffith2329]

Another stunning finish. I love how you kept all the beauty of the natural wood. Thanks for another teaching video.

[@PaintingandExercise]

Your abilities and patience are astounding. That was amazing to watch. Also, thank you for the beautiful music that you used on this video. I wish all furniture flipper/restorers/rescuers used beautiful piano music in their soundtracks. You and Barry from Mad City Modern are my favorites for watching an artist preserve the beauty of the wood. I admire both of you for being brave enough to tackle restoration rather than just painting. I hope someday I will have the skills to do what you do.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Glad you enjoyed it! and thank you so much. Talking about Barry.... Did you see the announcement at the end😉

[@valerietenaglia4887]

I had to scrape and sand the trim work around my door. I have a new appreciation for all the sanding you do .

[@anilahahamed3927]

Watching you working is therapeutic and I love the drama in the beginning. Beautiful as usual and brown furniture is my favourite.

Wow. Again, the attention to detail stands out. It's the cornerstone of what you do, and why you do it. Everyone of your videos is a tutorial of what is possible with restoration projects. Your editing and voice overs add to the entertainment value of your videos. AND YOU TEACH at the same time. Well done Sir.👍
