I FINALLY Got My Hands on a Golden Oak Arched Cabinet 😍

I have been on the hunt for this exact arched cabinet for over a year and I FINALLY found one about an hour away from me! I dropped every project in the works and got started on this one immediately! I brought my vision to life and couldn’t be more happy and proud of the end result! I would love to know your thoughts! Thanks for watching!

Leave the glass for the potential buyer to decide.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

ohh yeah! I will keep it incase they want it

[@jeannehelmick5682]

I agree. Also I love the glass shelves, it gives the illusion of the items floating. LOVE IT!

[@sharonsaunders8094]

i think you should ask the buyer as well. you did an amazing job!

[@mayracoira455]

Keep

[@NatTayHill]

Exactly!

[@PlantsandPowerTools]

Putting the glass back helps keep dust from getting inside the cabinet. I would put plants inside as well so it would keep the humidity up. Beautiful piece. Congrats on your store front

[@PJwithheart]

I agree. It’s actually easier to keep clean if you add the glass back, because it keeps the dust out.

[@Hair4Thought]

This is exactly what I was thinking!

[@lizhoward9754]

Exactly! Who wants to dust all the things inside. I would never buy a display cabinet without glass just because I hate cleaning and dusting. Cleaning glass once every 6 months is much easier than cleaning shelves and Knick knacks every couple of weeks

[@aniross9489]

Totally agree with keeping the dust factor to a minimum!!!

[@vickyb9918]

Plenty of people have open shelves so I don’t think that’s an issue for most people.

[@pcsd3104]

I think putting the glass back in it would help to keep dust out of the cabinet. Love the style.

[@debsmith2269]

It's fabulous, and I'm glad you used the glass shelves. Because it's such a dark colour now, it lets more light in to be able to see the decor items. I agree that it looks better without the glass in the panels. It looks more modern that way, and to my mind, glass causes too many reflections that obscure the items displayed. I love it.

[@donnastokes496]

That is absolutely amazing ❤

[@michelleelle4622]

I like the glass, however, if selling, I would offer both alternatives. Turned out great! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@lindac5189]

Great job!!! I've got a curio cabinet that I've been trying to buy everything that I needed to makeover and I had planned to paint it too!!! I had the same idea as you for replacing the mirror in the back of it and I've been debating whether or not I wanted to make wooden shelves to go in it or to put the glass shelves back in. After seeing your finished project I think I'm going to do like you and leave the glass out of the front and sides and then just go ahead and use the glass shelves. This is actually going to be a labor of love for me as well because this cabinet belonged to my Mom who passed away a year ago. My style is so very different than hers so that's the whole reason I'd decided to make it over in the first place!!! Now after seeing your finished project everything has come together on how I want it to look so THANK YOU & GREAT JOB ❤❤❤❤

[@lesmeyer318]

you can still use the arch piece that broke. where it broke get it cut even and use the whole 2 pieces as one. where you have it pieced use it in a cabinet and use the cut line with a shelf to cover the piecing section.

[@joubertcronje35]

I like this cupboard a lot. Different ideas play around in my mind what you can do. One idea is to have all the glass in because it is a show case. The other idea is not putting it in to create an open space, flowing through space. I also have in mind how you can play with colours. The black cupboard with the golden brown/honey colour items look stunning. I also see in my mind that somewhere on the outside it needs to match with the inside, or the items on display, for example the feet is also golden brown and may be the door frame. It is a very versatile item. You can build replicas of this cupboard and play around with ideas of using the colours on the interior and exterior of this magnificent piece. One another idea is that you keep the mirror at the back, keep the inside golden brown, ( the natural colour of the wood), put in string lights around the mirror, paint the exterior frame black as you did, but just keep it empty, because you want to illustrate the idea of a "spieelkas" ( Afrikaans for a dressing table)

[@brandilewis3498]

Stunning!!!! I think the glass shelves are a great choice. You can add a light at the top and it will shine through.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Yep! It came with a light originally and I painted it black to blend in but its up there (:

[@Hollybank5]

It’s beautiful !!! I like the glass shelves because it’s brighter and it lets the displays grab the attention !! You could also offer the customer the wooden shelves- so they have the option to change it up sometimes . ( don’t forget to charge for those too ) I think this is one of your best transformations ❤

[@deloisphillips831]

Love it! Glass shelves are stunning. Please don't put the outside glass on. IMO

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

I agree! too much cleaning!

[@tammyhearon3164]

It looks great! I'm glad you went with glass shelves, it allows light to move through it. I would put the glass back, it helps keep dust out.😊

[@Un_Elysian]

The glass shelves look soooooo more modern, classy & higher end! I love how it turned out so much

[@angelarthrasher]

WoW!!! That is my fav piece you have ever done!! Love love it! I think you should keep the glass and ask the buyer what they prefer to have the glass sides OR to just leave it as is and give the glass to the buyer if they want it.

[@johnwolfe2616]

Sue Wolfe- I love this project, Lauren. I think the glass shelves maje it more airy. I would leave the glass and let the buyer decide if they want to take it out of the door, etc. Personally, I hate to dust, so I like the option of having the glass. Great transformation!!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thanks, Sue!

[@Mama_wilki]

I wish we had gotten to see the project in full view behind you. And a long and close up view at the end. So glad you are still flipping furniture! It's why I started watching and following a long!👏👍 Thank you!💜

[@irenewalker4962]

I would display it without the glass, but inform them the glass is available. It is so beautiful, great job.

[@marys.5552]

Wow the cabinet was a labor of love but so worth the transformation. Putting the glass shelves in was a good choice. I think leaving the glass out makes the piece even more unique. The staging was on point. Great job!

[@michaelamaestas4950]

Great color, yes, with glass shelves , Good JOB !!!!!!!!!!

[@jcthompson7666]

Looks great. If I was the buyer I would prefer the glass panels on the door and sides. Keeps inside from dust and I like the shiny look of glass.

[@TheNeeblez]

Leave the glass out. So glad you went with the glass shelves too. It's beautiful!

[@sandyschneider6792]

I really like the glass shelves! It turned out very nice! Leave all the glass and let the buyer decide.

[@judymills7157]

I couldn't imagine where you were going with it ... when i saw the reveal i was absolutely in awe at its gorgeousness !

[@lindarock3946]

The cabinet came out great! Adding the legs was a nice touch. Love the glass. Please keep it. Gives it a high-end look. I think the wood shelves give it a heavy, chunky look. The glassy is much more classy. Lol congrats to you both on your new store. So excited for you. God bless

[@maryweil1846]

Absolutely love the way it is! Don’t change a thing!

[@marymorgan7674]

Love, love it. Beautiful and love the glass shelves. Leave the glass and give who ever buys it the option of wood or glass. I enjoyed seeing how excited you were doing this project. You are not only beautiful but so is your work.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

awe you’re too kind! thanks, Mary!

[@lanae3626]

Beautiful! The staging is perfection! One of my favorite pieces. Leave as is.

[@kileehaase4875]

Honestly, I love it as is. I think you did a great job. But I hate dusting and trying to clean a bunch of glass, so this is 100% my style 🥰

[@sandypeters3238]

Oh my goodness, I'm in love 😍 Personally I would choose the glass!

[@Vickilynnott]

I am amazed at what you did with this!!! When I saw the pic, I was thinking, “What the heck can she do with this ugly, out-of-style thing?!” Taking the glass off was brilliant!! Don’t change it! You’re a creative genius!

[@TheKatejobe]

Wow, I love everything you did with it! Using the glass shelves was a great choice. I agree with everyone who said keep the glass for the buyer to decide. Personally, I hate dusting, so even though I have kids who would put finger prints all over the glass, I'd rather clean the glass. I also have cats who would be inside the case all the time. 😸

[@anndrabek3038]

I love it as you have it. No glass needed on the doors. I love the glass shelves it lightens the look. The black stain is great too. Another great Job. I wish I didn’t live so far away I would come To your shop grand opening. I am so happy for your success. You 2 make a great team!!

[@colleenfillian9516]

Great job! I was certainly surprised by your re-creation. It really brought the old 90s oak cabinet into the new century. I think you made all the right design decisions. The black paint wash, new back made of bead board and the feet were the perfect update for this piece. The glass shelves definitely. Since the finish is matte, it looks best to leave the doors and sides without the shiny glass. But as other people have stated, you may always leave the choice to the buyer. Kudos!

[@kimplumlee9368]

I would want the glass in to help keep dust off of collectibles I put in the cabinet. Turned out beautiful.

[@fedupwithvulgarities7355]

The music added to the videos recently is really easy listening. I like it a lot!

[@trixie9777]

Just …. WOW‼️ Lauren, you have a true artist’s vision. I like it without the glass panels. But as a lot of people have commented maybe keep them & let the buyer decide.

[@judybrown6651]

The glass is the right decision. Beautiful. Love watching!

[@kcflaca07]

It looks so good! It has a modern goth feel 💕 I think putting the glass back in elevates the entire look. And helps avoid dust build up in the long run

[@karliepatterson2803]

Agreed!

[@chistinebinning6768]

It looks beautiful and the glass I think, looks better then the wood. It give’s it a lighter feel in a strong unit. You do beautiful work, I enjoy watching your program.

[@Schnooks83]

I think it came out fabulous! I would leave the glass off, but give buyer the option if they want you to add. I believe it would be easier to add back rather than take off if they want the way you have it.

[@BetsyRobison-wm8pz]

I wasn't sure about the dark paint wash when you mentioned it. I have to say you were right. It looks great. I would prefer 'no glass' but you might keep them and have them for an option if the customer wants them. The glass shelves let more light in. With a lighter color cabinet you could probably use painted wood shelves. Nice job, Lauren

[@carolynwilliams3665]

You nailed it!! Loved the final look. Painting the wood black and adding the glass gave it that high end look!!!!

[@christygaffney5814]

Love the transformation! I think using the glass shelves was the best option. It keeps the dark cabinet airy. When it’s time to sell I would offer it with the shelves if the buyer wants them. The glass panels would help keep dust out of the cabinet. So rather than having to dust inside regularly, you would have to clean the glass panels. Either way the cabinet would still need to be dusted/cleaned. It’s beautiful!

[@ks7343]

It's so great! I love how you've updated it and styled it! I think you should keep the glass. And I think it would be great to see what you're keeping for you and Nieman's home.

[@kathoakes929]

I love this its absolutely beautiful! I think you should give the buyer the choice about the glass. It was worth every second of your hard work. Beautiful!

[@ChristinMcLeod]

WOW! WOW! WOW! Ahhhhhhhmazing, Lauren. I was having my serious doubts about the black. That piece is next level. The glass really takes it to that next level. SWOON!

[@emilymcnew6880]

I absolutely LOVE what you did with the cabinet! Glass in or glass out, maybe the potential buyer could decide what they want, but I think the piece looks AMAZING as is. Great job!!!

[@patriciavavra7375]

Beautiful! If I were going to buy it I would want the glass. Dusting nightmare without it.

[@kimlee5811]

The glass was a perfect fit. When you were making the shelves I felt it was not a good choice. Love your work.

[@Alicia-wu9zu]

I find that glass can reflect the light in a room and would take away from the clean sharp look of this shelf. It turned out great. What a great idea for that 80's oak that is in so many kitchen cabinets. I like the paint wash and how it embraces the grain instead of trying to hide it - which takes a lot of work and does not always look good.

[@59lkm]

Leave the glass off, it causes a glare and you can’t see the decor inside. Love this project!!

[@brendaalbaugh8927]

Nice call on the glass shelves! Almost cheered when you chose that bit of bling. Good job

[@lindafaulkner9540]

Soooo glad you out the glass shelves back in there. It makes it look so much more contemporary. Legs, 👍 great!

[@loriburgess1866]

I think I’d like the glass back on the piece. The reason is I’d probably use it as a China hutch. In that case having the glass would help keep the items clean for use. Maybe simply offer them to who ever buys the piece. They could install it should they want it. Beautiful job!

[@pmg7538]

It looks fantastic and unique. No to adding the glass back in. Yes to glass shelves.

[@chewy000079]

The cabinet is beautiful, I would definitely put the glass in though. It keeps dust off the items in the shelf.

[@kaymurray8010]

Glass keeps it from being dark inside. I like it like this.

[@catgirldo7646]

Stunning. Keep the glass for an upscale elegant look. Well done.

[@lutgardedh]

Love paintwash and the glass shelves, when i was younger i had a time i liked black, now i love wood tones with paintwash, wat is important is the buyer whatever they like😊

[@cherylrippey5579]

Oh, Lauren! That turned out amazing girl! 👍

[@sandycope7587]

The glass makes it look more high end. I love it

[@lakeliving645]

It looks much nicer with just the glass shelves no glass walls or front. I had a cabinet like that that had glass on the sides in the front and the shelves and it was a pain to clean. Your design looks much simpler and easier. Nice job❤

[@ShannonProctor-c2v]

I would put the glass back. I think it makes it look more finished and worth more. You do a great job!!!!

[@joannehazlewood3157]

Neimans filming is fab. I always intend to say that and forget. He is very talented ❤

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you so much! I couldn’t agree more 😊

[@karenlouisereeder4501]

Love it, put the glass back, you staged it beautifully, well done Lauren 👍

[@elbeachy]

So beautiful and much better without the mirror!! I’d say give the buyer the option for the shelves, since you have already made them.

[@kathybellamy5207]

What a stunner! Great job Lauren. Gorgeous!!!

[@lorelei3765]

I like it just as you have it, without any additional glass.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

me too!

[@bfranklin1052]

This looks beautiful. The bead board back looks great! I agree with the others that say leave the glass out and let the buy have the option.

[@lisalally]

Absolutely stunning Lauren! ❤️It’s perfect, so high end looking. All your hard work was so worth it. 👏🏻It should make you a nice profit. 🤞🏻😀

[@normaalvarado1495]

You have had success on your choices, trust your gut. I LOVE what you did. I think it is absolutely beautiful

[@cynthiahowe8697]

I like the cabinet either way would be good, but I do like having the glass. Reason is it helps keep the items inside less dusty. I don't have to clean my cabinet as much as I do my open shelving due to dust.

[@wendineu5315]

I love the color change and other modernizations. It looks stunning! IMO I would prefer the glass doors. You either dust the shelves and contents or you wipe the outside glass, which is needed less frequently. At the end of the day it would be the buyer’s preference though, so leaving it as an option would be a good idea.

[@constancepentzer3017]

I’ve never gone with trends; I’ve never had the money to change out furniture. Golden oak is beautiful and is my husband’s choice as well. I would have left it the way it was. That being said, you always do a wonderful job on anything you tackle and it is pretty.

[@vaderladyl]

I agree. Oak is beautiful and very much a solid, classic timeless choice.

[@bonniecrowder]

Not a big fan of golden oak, however a fan of such nice wood that is stained. The cabinet was such a beautiful piece so updating with new finish and changing out the feet would have been my preference. I was sad to see the black finish and the bead board backing. You always do an excellent job and are a great instructor, but painting that gem was a disappointment for me.😢

[@AkSonya1010]

I realize painted wood is your thing and you do a beautiful job at it. There are a lot of us that love the wood look. I have 60 year old oak hardwood floors that that book case natural would look in credible with. I can't seem to find natural wood because it's all pressed wood any more.

[@cathismith4497]

Stunning! Leave as is. It's perfect YES, LEAVE AS IS

[@dena-mo118]

Would add the glass. Seems like it would be more of a polished piece. Looks so great! Delightful to watch you transform this piece.

[@dorothytackett9943]

It turned out beautifully. Keep the glass.

[@cynthiagorrin5399]

The glass makes the piece special.

[@BrooklynHudson]

Well, that is gorgeous! At this point, you're basically building furniture. Have you ever thought about pulling out the router and making a dresser from scratch? That would be a fun video! Well, maybe just a table to start :)

[@antonettegilbert3477]

I LOVE it with the glass it makes it look larger and clearer 😊

[@FatinM.S.]

Beautiful outcome. i would suggest leaving the glass as an option for the buyer and install only if they want it.

[@peggynorton5145]

I love how this turned out. Leave the glass out, but save it to go with the piece.

[@susans7091]

That would be gorgeous with the rainbow glass in it!

[@kimberlyvillanueva5817]

You artistry is expanding with every project! You are creating beautiful pieces.

[@hollyporter1193]

Looks gorgeous exactly how you did it. Keep the glass. I can’t believe you don’t want to keep it for yourself.

[@mariaparaskevas6596]

Gorgeous 🤩. I think you should put the glass back on ❤

[@elizabethpark4832]

No glass on the doors. I love it ❤ and I think it looks more modern w/o the glass.

[@teddymenhem4416]

Light blue/turquoise is really beautiful on you.

[@kind_of_willow3193]

It looks great without the glass, because you can see the deco better without the reflecting glasses.

[@sandycook4140]

Leave the glass it looks super high end ! It’s perfection!

[@nancyanneberg403]

Writing before even seeing. How exciting! Thank you. I would be scared to work on it,glasswise. Goody goody you two. Glass in,good mirror out. Color of Silk and paint wash really elegant. Cannot wait til your storefront opens. Lotta work . Proud of the two of you. Makes me wanna travel to Nebraska which I only passed thro before long ago. Stay well.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you! I have literally been smiling ear to ear all week (: thanks for watching!

[@eileenball39]

Love it! The legs and lack of glass make it so pretty. Good ideas.

[@lindsaygarcia8974]

This looks 1000 times better!

[@mayhelen]

I would put the glass back in. It keeps dust out. I would use this cabinet for my most precious pieces, dishes and decor, so me personally would like to have the glass in the doors and sides, but its a beautiful piece none the less! Good job!

[@lindastowars7346]

wow Lauren all i can is that turned out beautiful...

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you SO MUCH!!

[@ingridludik4106]

Absolutely stunning ! The glass shelves was a good call 💕

[@winterstorm366]

Absolutely put the glass back on.

[@jacquelynbaugh5828]

I love it. The glass shelves work better. I agree that the glass door would just get dusty.

[@lesleywatkins1172]

I’d leave the glass out, you have done a great job on this piece! 😊

[@barbaracarlson1331]

Glass helps keep your items much cleaner.
