I Painted This Vintage Dresser

[@jaystreazy]

Glad the ao dai could be an inspiration. It turned out amazing. Not as amazing as your socks though...

[@catofthecastle1681]

I know, right?!

[@a.b.d.3974]

Yeah he was rocking those socks 😁

[@laurabryfogle7516]

That is awesome! 😊 I love cool fun socks!

[@cassiejenn]

I really like when those I consider professionals show errors and mistakes. I am relatively new at furniture painting and follow instructions and when it doesn't work I'm left wondering what I did. It's good to see it because I'm encouraged by that and it helps me be determined to keep trying. I leaned a lot and this is oh so pretty. I love your pieces!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bjwieland-doucet5917]

Stunning dresser. Very Versailles worthy. Love the almost metallic look of the blue/gray.

[@kathrynkneeland7179]

It was important for me to see the difficulties. Thank you. Your dresser came out like a masterpiece. Sooo beautiful.

[@ts-eu6mp]

Thank you for leaving AND explaining the random, crackling boo-boos!Yes, the black paint added to the blue enriched the color and gave it depth. Good prep work and good primer are 80% of getting things looking right! Great timing for your sander showing up. I figure those are just your painting socks!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

I wear the socks everywhere. Get a lot of compliments oddly enough. A few giggles too but everyone needs a random laugh these days.

[@christyb.2272]

What;s wrong with this socks?

[@hollyolson5928]

I really enjoy watching you transform these pieces. I also appreciate seeing when things don’t go the way you think and how you correct or change them.

[@davidjackson4762]

What a tremendous amount of work! I appreciate you showing what actually happened...a great lesson, because something usually does not come out like you expected. A beautiful job, well done.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@user-ub2zs5is4k]

Metallics are a great way to enhance they also make silver, bronze & copper.silver with cool colors, gold with warm

[@Dakiniwoman]

I am back to your videos today as I really find I enjoy watching your work. I have done a lot of re-finishing in my long life as I am now 77 years old, but I never had a paint sprayer. I was mostly using paint-strippers and painting with a brush with oil base paints... Now there are much different paints and products than when I began around 1960 with my first projects. Your project here has such lovely details and turned out beautiful.

[@tristamyers1910]

My goodness!! That is such a beautiful piece! I love a dusty looking color with gold accents! Also, can we talk about how beautiful the hardwear is on this piece?!

[@vandahuman8522]

Stunning. The dresser looked so good with just the primer on it was lovely shade of gray

[@mama_p_nz8233]

Now that, I would have in my room. Fantastic job, thank you for sharing the issues you had it helps.

[@deannamcdonald5178]

A royal looking dresser that was a royal pain to paint😅. Thanks for showing the mistakes helps everyone to learn. You were so patient and had great results in the end😊

[@kathleenbarrow3373]

I love watching you paint and transform these lovely pieces! They turn out looking so Rich!

[@merlemobjerg9381]

One of my absolute favourits. Amazing result. Also love your laid back, unassuming attitude.

[@richardjones8236]

It's great you explained all the problems and what caused them. I think there is a lot more of these problems in furniture flipping than are shown. Great vid!!

[@TinaOnEarth]

Thanks so much for the cultural appreciation opportunity to create this handsome piece! Much love from this Vietnamese American furniture artist! 💕🔥

[@donna7338]

I'm glad the mistakes are included in your video. I learn more from seeing them than if you had edited them out. I'm not a fan of painting high-quality wood furniture, but this piece came out very nicely.

[@noodletropic]

Excellent work and very well documented video. This project deserves to be featured in woodworkers centerfold. Absolutely inspirational. Thank you.

[@Nanuq.Chikki8]

This guy’s Amazing! He bought that dresser back to life! He really cares about his work! Superb!!!

[@GODSPEAKS898]

Wow! This piece is absolutely beautiful. You know everything is trial and error refurbish furniture, but you did a wonderful job. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️

[@catherinemckenney6317]

Dresser turned out beautiful I have my doubts when I saw the first coat of blue. Adding the black made a world of difference it came out gorgeous

[@MsCheza24]

Wow thank you for showing that problem! No doubt you have shed a lot of people a lot of work. Love the color! Nice work.

[@ahakchan842]

Absolute perfectionist this guy! Love your patience and quality assurance.

[@tiger8linny788]

Absolutely GORGEOUS and a delight seeing you roll with the punches until you reached your final goal❣️

[@TerryBerry127]

This is beautiful. Your choices in color are very good. Love it.

[@kylieyager9156]

I love how you showed the mistakes and how tou fixed them. Because that is part of the process especially when your beginner like myself. Your piece came out beautiful!

[@tonics7121]

O my goodness. Can't believe you did that. Can't believe how beautiful.

[@jamesboyd1624]

Thats why i like acrylic clear coats, no bubbling. If it does due to the humidity you can use a torch to remove trapped bubbles. Polyurethane is very flammable though, so make sure its acrylic.

[@buffettchick1]

Thank you so much for sharing the problems & solutions. It gives me more confidence when I try these projects.

[@cathyknapp9360]

Thank you so much for sharing with quite interesting to learn so much from you on this piece to help me when I get started with my bathing on my furniture love your DIYs we open and honesty and the many teachings that you teach us this piece turned out beautiful thank you so much for sharing have a great day and God bless you

[@mermaidtales3639]

Beautiful! Totally worth the time and effort to redo. Been there, done that, lol. I recently finished a French Provençal buffet with the same gorgeous hardware 😊

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Sounds great!

[@connieleonard8326]

I have never been big on blue furniture then you add the gold . Would never have picked those colors. WELL, I WAS WRONG it is BEAUTIFUL.

[@kimbibbs5700]

Wow!! That was a lot of work for you, but as always, GORGEOUS!!! Thanks for the lessons also!!!

[@deborahmatatall]

Happy to see you again! This is beautiful. I really like that you showed how to repair a topcoat fail. That is really helpful for me. Love your socks, too!🌸

[@kimberlynolan2573]

Wow wow wow that's awesome. Love the fact that you show your mishaps and how you corrected them. I'm learning so much from your videos, so thank you! Beautiful project. Have a blessed day 🌹

[@ritabook5335]

Gorgeous. I love your use of paint and trim colors. You do excellent work. Thanks for sharing your goof.

[@maureentuohy8672]

Wow! Even in its shabby condition this piece was stunning. Now it's goirgous.

[@sharonperry8978]

Love the look of this dresser painted

[@mahie56]

Truly honest in his professional presentation. Thank you.

[@jonnaborosky8836]

I was so excitedly waiting to see navy and gold! I know it's as close as you could get it without navy paint....but to me it looks gray. It still looks good.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Colors vary depending on your screen settings.

[@littlebrookreader949]

SO well done. What a great piece! I liked the way you handled everything. THANKS! 👍👍

[@teresavalliere2888]

I think that a lot of the other painters us a little color in the clean coat then add the guilding wax. If that would have made a difference it works for me with dark colors.

[@3131raymond]

Lovely job again. So much work goes into the pieces. I've learned a lot. You are to the point.

[@rhondagoldberg8419]

It came out looking fabulous Shabby. You patience, perseverance, skills and knowledge paid off. Love your work and thanks for sharing!

[@oldgloryhillfarmturtlewoma9132]

My first glance at that beautiful dresser, realizing you were going to paint it, made my heart sink. The finished product though, m g, how striking. Where you might once have walked into a room and thought “really nice piece”, now you wouldn’t want to take your eyes off it. Yes, you do great work, boo boos and all, but your imagination and creativity outshines that by a mile.

[@deanagallatin6974]

Love your show! Thank you for showing us the difficulties you had. I live in Florida where the humidity is high 80% of the year! LoL. It's really bad. During December, January, February it's still 60%, but It feels different. I love this dresser! It's just gorgeous. It's the colors I wanted to use on my home furniture. Now I have a great idea of what it will look like. Thank you!

[@teresaoneill6440]

Definitely a show stopper. A person could design an entire dining/kitchen/living room around this fabulous piece of furniture!

[@sheilasmith4427]

Simply beautiful , perfect color

[@metropcs7560]

You know this is beautifully done. I try to learn all I can!!! Thank you.

[@davidparocua1222]

Absolutely beautiful! I’m glad you’re back.

[@sandrarivera8374]

BEAUTIFUL! VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!😍😍😍

[@victorianladyone4362]

This is so beautiful; love the color combination and the meticulous way your spent on this dresser. Hope it sold for a good profit for you.

[@VWMikey1]

I have found that a lot furniture painters started adding a little paint color to their top coat to avoid the cloudiness and it works, but you have crackeling going on too! I love the video you do amazing and beautiful work. Thanks for sharing

[@manonmassari7771]

Wow...fit for a palace! ❤

[@sandrajohnson9926]

That's a gorgeous piece of furniture. You have a gift.

[@jaydoe3707]

Man that was a hard lesson to learn... Glad you shared that so hopefully others don't have to make the same mistake. Beautiful work as always.

[@sandrasandilands6709]

I looovvve this…I have 2 old sideboards in my house ( inherited when we bought the house )…I’ve loved them but they are a bit worn in places… I think it’s now time to give them a makeover…you have shown me how to do this properly…I don’t have the spray gun that you use but I’m so inspired by your colours…thank you 😁

[@DeanFurnitureArtist]

Texas weather can cuase major headaches. Be fine to paint one way no issues then later that day be horrible to paint the same way. Excited to hear more about the new sander after you get some more time with it. Looks like a deal!

[@ralphmiller5510]

I know all that extra work was a pain in the ass but it taught me a lot as much as it taught you this is one of my favorite videos of yours.

[@Scratchync]

Omg I LOVE this dresser!!!😍😍😍😍

[@amyahdocq8835]

Wow! What a beauty! ❣

[@robderka]

You are crushing these vids man. Really nice work. Including the information about fixing your mistakes is super interesting.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thanks buddy. Hope you're doing well. Love ya!

[@vinachetri7969]

Very high end looking! Let us know how much you sell this beauty for, since you’ve listed a price range of $200-$1,000. I’m excited and waiting to hear back!

[@jerrysacct]

Beautiful. I have learned several helpful tricks from your masterful work. It’s amazing how you presented the corrections and used them to educate. Thank you

[@merddd190]

I like the crackling!!! Beautiful 👍👍👍👍

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

I liked it too actually. I was really wanting to just leave it but it was so random that it just didn't look right. Maybe I'll incorporate it on another piece in the future, but on purpose. 😀

[@bonnieyuse5876]

Wow...fit for a King! 💝

[@susangardner8305]

What a statement piece so gorgeous and bold

[@gtlfb]

Has that gloriously over the top Hollywood Regency look. Every house should have a showstopper like this.

[@mlm7598]

That is absolutely gorgeous. I am just amazed at how you come up with all these colors and thoughts about it..........Just beautiful indeed! WOW

[@FurnitureFlippa]

This dresser drawer chester is very nice looking - nice work Mr shabby

[@jaelsmith7733]

Omg! Absolutely love it! Reminds of that king Louie style furniture.

[@metropcs7560]

I love the black added to the blue, gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the steps!!!

[@maryanngibson3690]

this is so beautiful, you really worked hard to get it looking so wonderful, good for you.

[@patpowers853]

Wow! Now that's a work of art! Well done.

[@Cillianofarrell]

Great job Shabby. It's a nightmare when that happens with WB poly. You should try spraying it during an Irish winter 😀. I had to switch to solvent based paints/finishes just to cut down on drying time.

[@tjdeleon13]

Omg one of my favorites. Just beautiful

[@jodidavis6595]

This the 20th video. This is the most handsome and elegant of them all. Beauty

[@sabrinarankin9704]

This color is so cool! The gold is the perfect compliment for it too! 💛 Speaking of perfect, ur kicks score a 10 out of 10! Lol!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

lol thanks!

[@brynjarthewarrior2680]

Your videos provide calm and relaxation after a long day of work and stress. BTW, what an awesome smile😊😊

[@WhiteStarFlower]

That piece is amazing.. I liked the first blue you had without the black paint in it. Love your style!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

I did too actually but I wanted to get it closer to my inspiration color. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@ginnygiannette4630]

I love natural wood, but you've changed my mind about painting furniture. It's beautiful!

[@emcameron6157]

Beautiful work. I love the colour you chose. Nice to see a professional make mistakes but doesn't take them out of the video.

[@kwillow12]

Thanks for showing your mistake. It's good to see the problems that can arise from a couple moments inattention, or just bad luck. Very enjoyable video!

[@reneemay8681]

Absolutely beautiful!! Job well done!!

[@sheilastahl633]

That high end dresser is now a masterpiece and the cost you paid for it is really not bad when you consider now people are transforming these pieces and looking for them everywhere.

[@arianaaguilera8606]

Love ❤your work thanks for always Sharing with us👍 ....the color combo is my favorite ❤👏🤑

[@estellamayhue-greer5120]

This piece is so beautiful.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thank you! 😊

[@pattijahn6511]

What a beautiful dresser. Everything about it is perfection to me. You did an awesome job. Congratulations on a spectacular finished product to live. Hugs for your honesty and showing all the crappy things that could happen and how to fix it was great!

[@jrichmond5810]

You do beautiful work. The transformation is stunning. I love that you are giving these pieces a new lease on life.

[@terriwarnick6917]

You did that dresser justice. Nice

[@artmakerforever3510]

Gorgeous! I always learn more from mistakes.

[@kathyanstine4472]

Dang! That is beautiful!!!

[@marg233]

Great job, unbelievable transformation, gorgeous piece, love color choice & gold detail it's rich i lovit kudos 2U 👏🏻 Tell your vets 😆👍🏻

[@sandramarroquin3691]

Of course I like your videos!!! You always do an amazing job, this is a gorgeous piece!! Love it!! Love the colors💙💛

[@sharonj.2865]

I have this almost extact dresser and it was a purchase I regret. The only detail that is different is the bottom center skirt area. Mine is a simpler design. Thirty years later, it's still sitting in my bedroom. It is heavy and over the top! If I could easily move it, I would paint it. But, it is on the second floor of my home and my husband would balk at moving it now. Not sure what I will ever do with it...other than ignore it 😄 Your job is beautiful!

[@zigprof]

It was sumptuous!! Worthy of being in a Palace. I loved it!! Good vibes and Namaste!

[@mary11976]

Wow. Patience and persistence. That's def not me but I can soooo appreciate the devotion that went into this. 👍

[@brbobok9425]

Absoulutly Beautiful.....

[@briemills9209]

Beautiful! It really is a showstopper.

[@DreambigGabriela]

It turned out gorgeous. The gold looks beautiful, but I think I would have used silver or zinc. It looks gorgeous anyway.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thank you! 😊
