It’s beautiful, but I think it would have looked so much prettier with the bottom cut outs being stained also. I thought that was the most unique thing about this tall boy.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

I would have loved to but they are plastic! Thanks for watching

[@verenaanderson2729]

@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture Oh no! How unfortunate 😢

[@rockshot100]

@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture Yes, kinda top heavy. That was my observation that the bottom ovals insets would have been great stained as well, but that walnut burl veneer was plastic? Are you serious? That is just crazy. But makes sense because even in the 50's that little bit of burl veneer would have been extremely expensive. It would have been a shame not to use that hardware, I agree. Great job.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Yep plastic. The whole inside of the drawer was solid wood with solid wood front pattern (the scallops) but the inserts...totally plastic. But yes, my original idea was to stain all of the cutouts. Oh well. Still turned into a lovely piece! And the cat scratches are gone ;) lol

[@MadCityModern]

Great job on this one! Let's be honest, that was a big project, especially with all the detail work. You nailed it! And thanks for the shoutout! Just paying forward what other viewers have done for me. My favorite part was watching the doors get stained, and then watching the cardboard come off out in the sun! The stain against that paint choice. Gorgeous! Barry

[@rockshot100]

Yes, very nice result. Good of you to send them the scraper set, it may take them a little while to get used to it.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you Barry!! You rock! This was a fun flip. Wish I had room for it. I will be sad to see it go! Have a blessed week my friend.

[@rockshot100]

@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture I don't blame you, this is one of my favorite styles, only word I can think of is Elegant. A dresser is basically a big box, but they managed to make it long and linear with just a little adornment. Good call not to use those extra ormalu, those extra hardware pieces, however you spell it. "Ormolu", just looked it up.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Yes, I went back and forth a bit on those but it seemed a bit more stately w/o them!

[@chandarussell]

I love this dresser, they sure don’t make them like they used to and the hardware is wonderful.

Where/when did you get all your knowledge of furniture style history from? From a previous job, or simply from the research you had to do once you started flipping furniture?

[@bittersweetflippingfurntit8984]

Love the color choice and contrast against the stained wood. Great job. What paint spray gun are you using? Do you find it finicky or does it operate consistently? Keep those videos coming!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much for watching! We have a HVLP spray gun we purchased at harbor freight. We usually replace it every 6 months but we do a ton of painting with it first! It operates great but needs to be well rinsed after use or else it can be finicky. But at the $19 price point, we certainly get our use out of each one!

[@ricechristytreats]

I love watching your transformations. What sprayer do you use?

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much! It’s from harbor freight

[@Judy2aT]

This turned out stunning!!! I found your channel a few weeks ago, and I just have to ask you. How do you determine which stain you are going to use? Thank you so very much for sharing. I'm really enjoying this!!! Cheers.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Hi Judy! I have 3-4 that are my go-to's so I know what they look like pretty well. I will usually line those up next to my paint color and see what compliments the look. Thank you so much! We appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next week!

Awesome that it sold already!! Congrats! I haven’t tried sherwin Williams yet - how do you think that compares to Dixie Belle or Rustoleum chalk? I am not a fan of Rustoleum - finished the quart and never again.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Hi Maureen! I don't care for Rustoleum either. I actually have never tried Dixie Bell! Shocker! I found SW and never looked back. I love all of the color options. I plan on going into SW paint a little more on my next video. It runs through our spray gun perfectly and requires minimal coats. I get sooo many uses out of the quart. I just love it! And if the color is not what I am wanting, I just take it back to the store and they will remix something for me that I like better. Win Win! Thanks for watching!

[@kathleenhernandez3772]

It's a showroom piece

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

thank you Kathleen!! I think so too!!

[@sandycope7587]

I assume since you sell on Etsy that you ship. Do you use a specific freight com or an individual. Does the buyer pay shipping and how do you know up front the amount

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

I bid it out on Uship usually. I wrap the shipping cost into the total price. I will usually search for a median shipping rate when I list the item so I have an idea. Hope that helps!

Does Herman's Spar yellow at all? I've anyways used minwax polyacrylic, but if this one is better, I would love to know. Thanks!
