Vintage Dresser Makeover | Layer and Layers of Paint! | Wood Burning | Elegant Upgrades

[@KimRinehart]

There is just nothing that you can't do!!!! What a turn around on that much abused little dresser!!! Really lovely and so very unique! Great job as always 😁🤗

[@elegantupgrades]

Haha! Oh how I wish that were true! Thanks for the boost, Kim!

[@nichelebrownlee1471]

I love it. The wood burning is so cool. I like the white.

[@elegantupgrades]

Thanks, Nichele!

[@deborahandrews2701]

Beautiful!

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you!

[@tracymaddox8546]

Once again you have created a beautiful piece. I love the white with the wood color. And the new hardware went so well with the piece.

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you so much!

[@patriciakumar115]

Another lovely recreation. Thank you!

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you, Patricia!

[@jenniferlashley2081]

The wood burning is a lovely addition, and gives this a custom look.

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you! It’s been a fun thing to learn.

[@gailbutler3310]

You are having so much fun with the wood burning! Great ideas, great look.

[@elegantupgrades]

I am! It’s just such a cool new thing!

[@OwlingDogDesign]

That is SO GORGEOUS!! I absolutely love the white with the wood and the etching is perfection~ I AM going to try it (eventually). You're awesome. I was thinking, when Lucas is around 10 or so he's going to be bragging to his friends, "My mom can do ANYTHING." Hugs and love.🥰

[@elegantupgrades]

YES, I’m so glad you are going to try it! I’ve been hoping you would 😉 And when Lucas is 10, I’ll just be happy he won’t be rolling his eyes at me 😂 It will be extra nice if he thinks that though!

[@kimhough7753]

It’s gorgeous Taryn!! I love these small dressers…I’ve redone several. Dang girl…is there anything you can’t do?!! You’re amazing! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@elegantupgrades]

Thanks, Kim! Yeah, the small ones are just so cute and convenient. And they don’t have a bad turn around either.

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

The wood burning is unique and beautiful.

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you!

[@marycoffee7366]

Looks fabulous 👏👏👏

[@elegantupgrades]

Thanks, Mary!!!

[@lindaposta939]

This is lovely and something I would love to have in my house! Your son is getting bigger and I hope he is excited to become a big brother! In a few years with how he is helping you, he will have his own KZbin channel!

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you, Linda! And yes, he’s THRILLED to be a big brother. Maybe he can take over mine 😂

[@jannamarie3990]

Lovely ❤😊

[@ginamaria2579]

Turned out gorgeous ☺️

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you! 😊

[@AuntieBrennie]

Whoa… night and day transformation! Love how bright and dainty it is now. The wood burning patterns look so professional. That handheld grinding monster machine looks sturdy enough to sand concrete! Need a respirator and a full on body armor suit! Yikes! TeeHee! Please let us know if you get PTSD over removing all those layers of paint! B~}

[@elegantupgrades]

Haha! You crack me up! It was almost ptsd, but I’ve made it out the other side. It will be a while before I work on another multilayered paint piece, though 😂

[@AuntieBrennie]

@@elegantupgrades 🤣

[@kimmiles9147]

The wood burning detail is awesome!

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you, Kim!!! I have really enjoyed playing around with it.

[@glendacox6540]

IMO it is stunning! I would have bought it asap!

[@paulavanduynhoven8951]

It turned out beautiful ❤. That was truly a trash to treasure!!!

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you so much!

[@kimchamberlain1108]

This is absolutely gorgeous Taryn 😍 The wood burnt drawers are stunning! (I love doing wood burning too) They really compliment the white of the rest of the dresser 🤎🤍

[@elegantupgrades]

Thanks, Kim! You do wood burning, too?!?! That’s so cool!

[@vm5610]

Wow! That is so pretty! I love the wood burning design and the 2 tone look.

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you so much!

[@julianneboys4062]

I’m so glad you said about the sides of the drawers. My ocd was bothered by the old paint . I know you were worn out from taking it off but everything else was so nice. It’s like being all done up with yucky shoes or something.

[@elegantupgrades]

Haha! Yeah, I just hadn’t decided what was going on them yet. Didn’t mean to worry you, Julianne! She’ll get new shoes shortly 😂

[@deborahsewell202]

Also a carbide scraper really helps

[@kathyw7143]

I love it!!! GF you are a artist.❤❤

[@elegantupgrades]

Thanks so much, Kathy!

[@alentrevor]

and Mrs T Lovely makeover so well done

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you!

[@tamora.monique]

I like that paint eater ❤cool!

[@elegantupgrades]

It is! Very aggressive little beast.

[@queenoftheworld1]

Gorgeous!

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you! 😊

[@paranormalnora]

Beautiful work

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you!

[@cathyjackson5959]

I’m Loving it❤❤❤ I’m definitely gonna have to get a wood burning kit!! I do a lot of coloring and shading with my color books because it is soo relaxing!!

[@elegantupgrades]

You should! Especially if you love coloring and shading. It will keep you busy that’s for sure.

[@designabeej]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@gailzanfardino2788]

Just curious …. Why you were sanding next to that beautiful glass cabinet in the background??? I would be so afraid that it would get covered in dust and debris from the piece you are working on. Your wood etching is very nice 👍🏻

[@elegantupgrades]

I typically cover my finished pieces to protect them from other work. That cabinet hasn’t been done, it needs repair work and it actually doesn’t have any glass in it.

[@debraneria4242]

Sooo beautiful my friend 🥰....Wow Lucas is Sooo Tall ...such a handsome Guy❤ ..and i Believe You are having a girl❤❤

[@elegantupgrades]

I know!!! He’s killing me 😭 Thankfully he’s still a snuggler and the sweetest little guy ever.

[@kerid9658]

This probably had lead paint on it. Be careful with vintage/antique furniture.

[@elegantupgrades]

It didn’t. I keep a test kit in my shop for these older gals.

[@deborahsewell202]

Just an FYI, that stripper is awful!! Use a chemical stripper.

[@elegantupgrades]

😂 I know. I literally complained in the video that I didn’t get to use my favorite stripper. And a carbide scraper didn’t do anything to that paint. It happens sometimes.

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

Beautiful!

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you!
