You all know I love a good moody blue/black color so I was excited to try this one out! This was also my first time adding legs to a dresser to elevate it off the ground!

[@robinsaxophone232]

Beautiful piece! Maybe you’ve done this already, but if not, I’d love to see how you clean up your brushes and dispose of the chemicals. It’s the part we all hate, and I would love some tips.

[@edajnowicz]

Me too!

[@melissabyrne7068]

I would also love to see that.

[@VermilionCandles]

You inspired me to start flipping furniture to pay off my student loans!! I am working on an old dining set we have that needs a lot of love. I watch your videos everyday and have learned a lot. I have 18k to pay off!!!

[@kristinataddei8138]

Nice legs!!...the dresser came out beautifully, really like how the gold hardware pops against the black paint!!...

[@teresaholloway8620]

I thinks it’s gorgeous the way it is. Don’t overthink all the comments when everyone tells you what you should do. 😒 Sorry that annoys me. You have a great eye for colors and you have proven that you know what you are doing. And by the way....I’ll see you on the flip side. 🤩

[@NatTayHill]

I think you should "antique" the handles a little. That would be more "Harry Potter-ish" :)

[@angelathevegan2431]

Those legs look fabulous on this piece. It really did elevate the look so much. The color is just awesome too. You made a MEH looking piece of furniture look WOW! So happy you have a big space to do your magic. I'm cheering you on every day!❤🧡💛💚💙

[@daisyndenton]

It looks fabulous as it is! Don’t overthink it. You have great taste.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you! (:

[@my3sons773]

Oh my gosh, I love that you used the Harry Potter vibe to promote this gorgeous piece. I think you rocked it!

[@dontbemad628]

I started watching your videos last Friday. I love painting and fixing things around the house and I've redone a few small pieces of furniture for myself but would love to get into larger pieces to flip. Everytime I see an old piece of wood furniture I always picture how I can update it or bring it alive again. Also, seeing you do this has made me feel more normal about being a woman that loves to do this kind of stuff. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@theresasteiner2748]

As always........ Beautiful! One tip on the wall paper: cut the piece about an inch bigger than you need. It gives you something more to hang onto when you trim with your blade.

[@junehess501]

I love the satin finish! Honestly I’m not a huge fan of everything matte. Gorgeous outcome!!

[@sheilavilla6707]

I think it looks elegant. The finish looks fine. Hope you have a great vacation, it is well deserved.

[@patriciamathis7042]

What a classy look. Love the way the gold hardware really pops.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

I thought so too. Thanks Patricia!

[@dechinta]

21:13 That's beautiful and I love the gold legs!

[@judyhobday4760]

a beautiful dresser and the legs and hardware just makes it come alive. You are just so professional.

[@vickinoeske1154]

Very striking piece of furniture. Rich looking.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you very much 🙌

[@PCHPatti]

When you can't clamp the veneer strip when regluing, how about positioning a long 2 x 4 board on top? The extra weight is all you need.

[@justice2255]

I think comments are a good place for ideas. No one should take issue with suggestions since she is not a carpenter.

[@realphoto]

Satin was a perfect choice. Looks amazing.

[@lindatexas5906]

Those legs are perfect for that piece, great job!

[@lindafaught58]

This looks fabulous. This paint color is great. Like was mentioned below, don't overthink it, I love the way this turned out.

[@reneecook1834]

I love it! It is so pretty! Legs are so pretty with gold handles! Neiman makes this so fun when he edits to have TWO IMAGES OF YOU in SAME FRAME;. Super cool stuff Neiman!

[@lindastowars7346]

WELL LAUREN, ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL PIECE

[@karenmomoftwins8847]

Lauren you did great. Watching you two there gives me hope for the future. What I wouldn't give to get out of my one car garage!!!

[@FMarie-po4mh]

Me too! I have a one car garage too.

[@hnycreek]

Lauren, I agree, the matte would be better but oh my that color!!! It looks fabulous!

[@debbydrach]

This one you really surprised me, I really expected you to remove the plastic drawer and door fronts, and I love the leg addition! Turned out beautiful as you always do!!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Gotcha 😉 I really had fun adding those legs! Will definitely be doing base additions to pieces more often.

[@adamswiggan]

I love your attention to detail as to cleaning your pieces, repairing them, and reviving them. Not all furniture flippers take this kind of care, even though they usually charge much more than you do . That is the reason I would think twice about purchasing a piece from some of them. Keep up the quality of your work!

[@jennifermetler2408]

Yes Girl Boss!! That looks amazing. So proud of you.

[@paranihiaanaru4414]

That is beautiful, and very Harry Potter-ish. I'm a real Harry Potter fan too. Thank you

[@Dingle1234]

Wow, you have that huge paved driveway as well! I'm so envious.

[@lisettewurster3648]

Omg absolutely gorgeous! Looks amazing ❤️

[@laracrews6916]

Just watching you do this project in your new space and see how things works out is inspiring.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you so much! I love having all of the space!

[@violethoffermobilehomemove9189]

It turned out so nice. Some gold wax on the detail woulda made it really pop. Rub & buff is awesome to highlight raised acent areas. I think your right on the flat finish instead of the satin. But we live & learn.

[@briannaoduinn8902]

I loved the Harry Potter movies, but I would definitely suggest reading the books first. I started reading the books to my daughter when she was in kindergarten. By the time she was in 3rd grade, she was reading them for herself. The hutch/dresser looks awesome. I think that the satin finish looks nice, but it may be shinier in person. I think that whatever you decide, the piece will sell quickly. You really do quality work.

[@deborahschipper1520]

Stunning!!! You never fail to amaze me! Keep on keeping on, Teach!

[@Karma20XX]

I really love this color. I would love it matte with silver antique hardware.

[@rebeccavinyard2899]

Watch the movies! So well done. The dresser is beautiful!!!

[@lr6844]

You did an excellent job at painting. Very sophisticated looking. The only critique I have concerning the finished piece is, although the interior box does not need to be painted, always finish both sides of the door.

[@marcellekirkham2768]

Stunning!. Just would have done inside of door too as that bothers me

[@robertabrown2152]

Putting legs on it finished it. Nice job.

[@Melissabarelyhere]

I love the way this came out!!! I love the satin sheen.

[@dottiewilson3858]

Hi Lauren! Love your YT channel!!! Thank you for leaving links to stuff you use. I've gotta get that rolling seat!!!

[@millenialsmom2214]

The feet & hardware make this piece 👌

[@julibeswick-valentine3690]

I really liked it before you painted but it is stunning in that colour. I'm looking forward to your new channel too.

[@mariettedemarest5173]

I'm having a difficult time with the straight legs versus the ornate hardware, and no goldish highlights on the ornate areas of the piece. I do love watching your process and enjoy the two of you as you transform pieces.💕

[@lauracrognalo8070]

It looks great! I don't know if you watch other KZbin flippers but If you do and haven't watched DIY Wife you should watch her ones where she adds her own legs she makes for pieces like this. And like you she enjoys using color's! 😁

[@g.d.anonymous8235]

It is gorgeous. The satin top coat gives it that extra touch of class. I, personally, would not matte it. Really great work!

[@teresapulleyn301]

I like the satin look. Before redoing your finish, look up a picture of a basilisk and see what kind of “finish” it has. Just a thought. Another beauty!

[@rommag4185]

Lauren..I love love love this piece! Everything flows beautifully and your choices were spot on!! A gold star for the teacher! 💫

[@soffiegirl1027]

The owner of melange must be a Potter head if she released the HP color in July (Harry’s birthday in the novels) 💙

[@mickelaclair417]

I love how you got excited about doing the legs. I feel ya girl!!! I’m currently do a 70’s dresser in melange Sophie’s pink and I also got those same legs at Amazon!!! Beautiful 😍

[@denisewilson8250]

Looks great, especially with the new legs! And I bet you love having all that space to work!

[@lindabunce5133]

Have you gone back and watched your first video? Wow, you've really grown in your ability to paint and even more in your comfort in front of a camera. Kudos!!

[@kathyalgea7175]

This is beautiful!! Love the satin finish.

[@vivianzuniga8814]

The little bit of sheen is nice! Very pretty result.

[@CHrisPetE056]

I live it. I know I a Not seeing it in person and up close but it looks great and I am Not put off by the satin finish. We are all about Harry Potter and I would love to have this buffet and a bigger house to put it in. Once again you have done and amazing job. Those legs are really amazing.

[@kathyeubanks5524]

You really turned this piece around, Lauren! It’s beautiful!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks Kathy! Glad you enjoyed 🙌

[@CeciliaMM]

I love that you have all this new and big space! Arranging the drawers to each side and in order will save you a lot of time and headaches! Great work!

[@jenniferminton3630]

I love the satin finish!

[@sunflowervalley4145]

I like the satin top coat, go with it! My parents have a similar bedroom suite direct from Mrs.B at NFM in 1975!!! 😁

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

So cool! I was thinking it was 70s! (:

[@safarigirl40]

I love the satin finish too it brings the mouldings out

I like it including the satin finish! You did great yet again 😊

[@lorikegley3327]

That turned out gorgeous!

[@julialimbrick333]

That turned out gorgeous and the legs what a great idea it truly elevated the piece of furniture. Well done.

[@catcar8212]

Awesome new look Lauren! Great call using the gold for the hardware to compliment the legs.🌷

[@lindatexas5906]

I always add legs to my pieces, sometimes rollers on the heavy ones. I like legs!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks! They are a fun addition!!

[@juliewhiteley2211]

Hey watch all your videos can I just say surely clean after sanding saves you loads of time xx

[@valeriemarcantel6260]

Since added feet. You may need to add a foot underneath in center for support. Most heavy dressers have that middle support

[@MotherOfWednesday]

Do you ever paint the interior of the drawers and cabinets? It would make the fact that it is a flip less obvious. Flipping is awesome. But flipping so well you can't tell it was flipped just takes it up a notch. It is an awesome piece!

[@wvjeri67]

Beautiful. I love how it turned out. Great job on lighting as well. 🙂

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you! We are trying to make it the best! (:

[@pattiereiter9265]

@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher THANK YOU, Lauren!!!

[@rachaellafriniere9349]

ohhh! Im kinda liking that color. Nice work!

[@anna-mariedictson7381]

This is such a beautiful piece! The gold legs are so perfect! I am not sure if you have done it this way before, but just a little tip if you are open to suggestions. If you hold the legs on and just mark the holes, and then take the legs away, it makes it quick and easy to make the pilot holes on the marked spots without the leg being in the way:))

[@vickyhaggerty763]

Turned out really pretty!!! I like the satin.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you, Vicky!

[@jojohnson740]

I will say MELANGE PAINT is amazing, I love it. Loren you piece came out beautiful!!!!

[@kellyreyes4467]

This past week I randomly walked into a paint shop and it wasn't until 15 minutes of talking later that I realized it was Melange. This whole time I didn't realize they were right next to me!😆 Needless to say I stocked up on paint. Ps Love all your work!!

[@patriciavavra7375]

I really like the color and the legs made a huge difference. I'm excited about your new channel.

[@annparris3383]

A bit of gold glaze would look nice on the detail.

[@kayhenry6293]

I think I would have painted the inside of the door, and maybe added a light dusting of gold on the decorative pieces. That’s just me; it’s beautiful the way you did it.

[@mewells]

Love your new shop😍 This project was so fun and the piece looks amazing.

[@nickroethke9410]

Looks amazing! Just curious why you didn’t use the sprayer…especially because of the detail areas.

[@adventuresinlynderland]

I was thinking the same.

[@freedomintruth8260]

Me three, I was just going to ask that. Lol

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

I haven't broke it out in the new shop just yet! Definitely would've been a great candidate though! Thanks for watching!

[@karenmomoftwins8847]

I thought the same

[@hollygage976]

I don't like it when the doors aren't taken off.

I love mat finish...but this piece still looks great.

Absolutely gorgeous Lauren!! LOVE the gold on the hardware and LOVE the gold legs. 👍🏻great job kiddo!👏👏👏

The Flip Side with Lauren & Neiman

[@willtheman840]

We just finished your video. Great. I have noticed four things we have in common. I also rarely use gloves, get paint al over me, have trouble reading (today on FB I refer to Chastity as Charley, ugh), and while aware, I have never read or seen anything Harry Potter.

[@mybraxtonburns]

Gorgeous piece

[@chasingviolet6330]

Omg. The legs look amazing! I had to stop right as you put them on because I think I'm as excited as you are, lol. Thanks for great content. :)

[@buckeye460]

You do an amazing job with the quality of work and teaching and Neiman captures the greatest shots and his editing is fantastic. Quality all around for sure. Special Ed teacher from SC.

[@lesliejohnson7247]

I love this piece. I wish you had two of them because I would like to see the mat finish but keep this one too. Lol. Because I think this is a honey of a piece just the way it is!

[@lullakay1276]

The piece looks very elegant and should sell pretty quick. Have a great holiday you deserve the break.

[@anndekhors4160]

Thanks Lauren love ❤️ all ur videos and great ideas.

Hi. Great job as always. When you glue in an area like that you can use painter's tape to help hold it down.
