You SHOULD keep the glass on top. They are in good condition because of that and they took care of them. Furniture always stays nicer with the glass somehow.

[@dorothyyoung8231]

Opinions differ, but I like glass on top of pieces in a bedroom to protect from water damage. For those who like protective glass it’s fairly inexpensive to have sheets of glass custom cut. You can get the glass shop to put little wafers under the corners to provide a little airspace between the furniture top and the glass.

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

I agree keep the glass on top it will protect your furniture.

[@pattio.656]

The set is a Great Find and it now looks even better😍

[@OldJoeBlows]

It is up to the owner AND I do keep glass on top of my wood. I’m constantly spilling crap and putting crap on top, plants, drinks, etc…. So the glass tops are an extra score for me. 😊

[@Jan-2020]

@@pattio.656 Only if a person is into green.

[@patriciamoore3166]

Awesome job, Lauren! Personally, the glass tops really do protect the furniture and why not use them when you already have them! It is crazy where I find cups and bottles left in my place!

[@GrammyM]

I do think you should let the paint cure before adding the glass...

[@BlissfulDee]

Looks great! I think you'll be even happier with the nightstands if you put the glass back on top of them. They will protect the finish and glass is a lot easier to clean/dust.

[@cristithompson6448]

Just gorgeous! Side panel draperies to widen that window would take the look to the next level

[@probablynot1368]

Speaking as an Interior Designer, I agree with you. A wider drapery rod with stationary side panels, perhaps with a larger format green print, behind the bed will create the illusion of a much wider window. The panels should not extend any further than the sides of the bed. The side window should also have matching side panels.

[@kimeverhart6253]

Lauren, I adore this furniture set! You found some real gems! I’m so happy for you!! Enjoy!!🥳 Ps…the long dresser would be great in dining room or as a tv console!! It’s my favorite piece!!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

yep! you may be on to something 😀

[@wendycampbell5099]

​@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher Lauren the fake account is responding to your followers posts

[@LavenderDaisies]

I’m so glad you kept them for yourselves! They turned out Beautiful Lauren. I love the green. YAY! I am so happy for you. You were just glowing at the end. You should do a few more pieces for your own home. You two deserve it. Congrats!

[@adamseery7738]

I’ve been watching you for while. I love the fact that you wear clothes that have stains on them. Many people on other channel wear their best clothes without a drop of stain or paint on them. I also love that you admit that you don’t know something.

[@sandyprather9133]

Lauren, I don't blame you for being absolutely giddy over this gorgeous bedroom furniture! Though I'm not a huge fan of MCM furniture, these pieces are spectacular! I love the color you chose and how these pieces really add to the sophistication & utility of your bedroom! Perfection! Thank you for taking us on the journey,

[@marlieblanton198]

I haven't been a big fan of the two toned look, but you have convinced me. These are gorgeous!! You always do such amazing work.

[@kathyl5610]

Lauren, these are absolutely stunning. You have outdone yourself and I’m so glad that you’re keeping them for you and Nieman. I love the two-tone and I think the colors are perfect. As much as I’m really not a fan of glass tops, I think it is a good idea to use them on the nightstands. It’s a lot less worry and easier to clean. Great job, take care stay safe.

[@brendaprice4664]

LOVE the result! I like too that you have an option to use glass tops or not. A really amazing value for the money. You two are so smart!

[@juliemiedreich1764]

They came out great the two tone is really in right now .❤

[@melapost9207]

I would ue the glass.

[@Sahmgirl]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@debfarber8227]

You picked the perfect stain color to go with the green. Love it!

[@johnwolfe2616]

Sue Wolfe- Stunning transformation of these pieces, Lauren. Enjoy them. I'm always impressed at your ability to make so-so pieces into works of art. I'm so glad you're the recipient of all your hard work! I would probably keep the glass as it adds to the uniqueness of those pieces. We had mcm furniture growing up and I now grasp why we had the glass. But boy, is it expensive. It'll save your finishes, no waterspots or damage to the wood. That's why you found it in such good shape! Enjoy!! 😉👏👍💪❤️

[@cherylhenderson2463]

They look great. Usually not a fan of the 2 tone look but love these especially the gold hardware. I thought you hit the jackpot with the glass tops and would definitely put them back on. Makes them look more finished and expensive. Also agree with someone who said put long curtain rod up and hang panels on outside of window for appearance of bigger window.

[@katieholsinger645]

Do your neighbors ever just stop by to see what you’re doing or do you meet a lot of your neighbors that way? I can’t imagine being your neighbor and not wanting to see what your new projects are. Lol! I’d be the biggest nosy Nelly! It’s just so fascinating to see someone do such cool transformations!

[@createful_heart]

Green is my favorite color! I was just looking at various shades for my living room. These pieces turned out great, Lauren. You always do such a lovely job on whatever piece of furniture you're working on for your channel.

[@jw6504]

I love the cactus color! Beautiful gray-green color!

[@sherrierichard2848]

You got the buy of a century with this furniture manufacturer! Classic! This quality you can’t find anymore, even really luxury brands do not have this amazing workmanship. I’m in San Francisco and if I were fortunate to have found this set it would sell for over 2k in its condition!! Scored! You were right to keep these for yourselves. Enjoy for years to come. Kudos for the professional job you performed.

[@jkirby-vd1wm]

❤ the remake! I just recently set up a temporary spray booth..plastic sheets hung from the rafters of the garage..and bought a small sand blast gun from Harbor Freight for less than $30. Let me just say that should you try this YOU WILL NEVER LOOK BACK I PROMISE 😮. The media used to blast is baking soda...I bought 3 of the giant boxes at dollar general at maybe $3.80 a box and was just shocked to see how effortlessly the finish came off a old singer sewing cabinet..RIGHT TO THE ORIGINAL OAK VANEER! ..MIND BLOWN..It was like magic, dusty, dusty magic. Not saying that it would take paint off (maybe with different media?), but try it on an unpainted piece, use eye goggles and a good mask and if you prefer a spray suit because you will look frosted by the time your done lol..sorry to rattle on but I have retired my scrappers 😅

[@rebeccasalhab2159]

Beautiful furniture so glad your keeping them

[@debbydrach]

I love what you did, a wonderful transformation!! I would use the glass, it just makes the pieces look more complete and more expensive 👏👏

[@naomishardlow4542]

Beautiful job. So good to see you happy.

[@mlm7598]

Love the green you chose. It looks so rich and really custom to be sure. That was a great buy and I love that you shined up the hardware and made it all just perfectly brand new. So so gorgeous. It's going to be so fulfilling to do something for yourself from time to time. Love to watch and get some good ideas. Blessings to you both and have a beautiful weekend.

[@angelgirl8544]

Love the bedroom set so much. Well done you two,,,,

[@karensandberg6226]

Now you need to refinish the long dresser for a sideboard in the dining room. You do such an amazing job.

[@lizhoward9754]

Love how these turned out! What is so great about these pieces is that you can break them up if necessary and use the two bedside tables as end tables if you needed to.

[@piggylover4808]

Fantastic job, absolutely needed some color and the shade you chose is so pleasing to the eye!!!

[@janicesnapp2850]

LOVE that YOU get to enjoy this MCM Set!!!! Keep the glass on those tops super protective! You chose the perfect green for MCM! Gorgeous makeover!

[@kevinchapman216]

Carbide scrapers are great for removing the bulk of whatever paint, varnish, etc. Also it doesn't create a bunch of dust

[@annagia153]

Lauren they turned out beautiful love the two toned look, the combination of the paint and stain colors look great

[@marypoole2393]

Came out beautiful and yes keep the glass. Put it back on it will help from getting scratches and stay beautiful. Great job. Will have to show us when the room is complete with your decor. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️

[@cindywolf-yx4sp]

What a transformation! I do agree about widening the window treatments! Try it! I think you’ll be amazed! ♥️
