Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included kzbin.infoUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.

[@deborahmatatall]

This is very pretty. I like the simplicity of it. Very different from what I’m used to seeing from you. I’m glad you added a touch of gold! As for the oven cleaner used to strip wood furniture, I’m a hard NO on that. Mainly because it is made for non-porous surfaces like an oven or a broiler or maybe a grill. Oven cleaner is a very harsh chemical and we don’t know what it will do to wood over time. I’m glad you tried it so you can say you didn’t like it! Thank you for another delightful video!🌸

[@grittykitty50]

Deborah, you echoed my thoughts exactly about this technique. The result is wonderful, but like you, I believe the oven cleaner could possibly continue to act on the wood over time.

[@TS-cz1cx]

Fire hazard too?!

[@marianneheinzen3439]

Thank you for having the most professional videos our there. You have all your materials ready not searching around while filming, you don't talk with anyone in the background including the live comments, which is distracting and you don't dwell on speaking about your personal life. Most of us are watching to improve our skills and get ideas on products and finishes for our businesses. Some other teaching videos (who want us to pay high dollars to view the unprofessional videos), I just fast forward to the end due to the distractions and I don't watch them live for those reasons. Most importantly you have 1 video with the complete process and the piece shown completed at the end. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@arylenereycraft5497]

I will 'fell up that I laughed out loud when I saw this--many years ago I thought I was doing my mom a favour when I was dusting her furniture. The cloth was getting so dirty that I went to her (can of dust spray in hand) and asked if she ever dusted her furniture. She was an insanely good sport as her response was 'yes, but I rarely use Easy Off.'

[@jaytee2642]

[@JoeyJr702]

I remember my mom had ash wood kitchen cabinets that were avocado green and I remember for years under the built-in oven was a wide streak of bare wood. I asked her what had happened and she said the oven cleaner stripped it. Lol! I told her to spray all the cabinets because the 1970 style color needed to go!

[@janicesnapp2850]

Love how the AnneSlone Cocoa chalk paint wash tones down the orange in the wood and showcases the wood grain! Lovely natural neutral transfer Dresser!

[@debikirkwood9784]

So glad you tried the Oven Cleaner strip, could not understand why anyone would subject themselves to that.

[@Jessicaro]

Because it is cheaper than paint stripper

[@phyllisbrowne2009]

No matter what style you go for, the results are beautiful! Loved this.

[@lindaczerwinski3312]

There’s so much sophistication and beauty in simplicity. Lovely 😊

[@sophiachristo7546]

So beautiful! Really beautiful piece originally! The only thing I would have considered differently is to paint the wooden handles with the cocoa wash...

[@rkeller8141]

I enjoy watching an artist work and instruct while teaching. I haven’t seen anything that you’ve created that i didn’t consider excellent. Thank you Kacha. Such an unique project, probably the dresser was manufactured in the 1800s.

[@kristinataddei8138]

Love that you let the natural grain show through...I'm a purist at heart, so when "shabby chic" came along I was okay with it, because it wasn't completely covering the wood!!!...really like the stencil it goes with the whole "woodsy" theme!!!...please do more of these kinds pieces!!!...loved how it turned out, I'd buy that!!...

[@cassandrasmith5517]

So pretty and simple! The wash, knobs and transfer are perfect❤️❤️❤️

[@brandy2378]

You have great eye for style, your pieces always look good

[@lonnarheaj]

My first thought was, "Dang, oven cleaner is extremely is caustic and nasty stuff to work with" ... but my second thought was, "Well, regular paint stripper isn't exactly baby shampoo." 😕 Oven cleaner fumes can be overwhelming even with a respirator, but the effectiveness of removing that old finish is quite impressive!!! I still think I'll stick with the old reliable strippers that don't require hazmat equipment to safely remove. I love the paint-wash effect on the open grained oak; and the transfer is beautiful on the tinted wood grain, and the wax was the perfect enhancement to the entire piece. The results are subtle yet lovely, classic, and elegant!!! Thank you for sharing this! ❣️

[@cmrod228]

Hi Kacha, Your pieces are always so beautiful. But I must say this piece calmed my soul. Yes, I know that sounds dramatic but it really is the only way to describe how I feel when I look at it. Three deaths in the family in the past four weeks have caused me great emotional turmoil. This has helped because it is soothing and gives me a direction for my own furniture. Thank you.

[@ednaalegria8710]

I really love the natural look with the transfer and the pop of gold, very pretty.

[@Pipsterz]

This method is good for spring and summer projects outdoors. The piece itself is one of my favorites that you've done I think. Thank you love!

[@vickimontemayor3262]

I love the transfer. It would be perfect in my best friend’s bedroom. We’re 75 and have been friends since we were 6. We’re both widows so always helping each other at our homes. Thanks for inspiration 💕💕

[@whimsicallywhimsywhimsical363]

Another amazing furniture. I love the way it all came together. Thank you!!

[@blessyaheart]

I found a way to save my expensive paint brushes after I've forgotten to clean chalk paint out of them. I get a solo cup of hot water and steep the brush in it much like a hot tea. After clearing out the paint I thoroughly rinse in warm water and dip the brush back in the cup that has hot water and a bit of fabric softener in it. Rinse again quickly in cold water and shake water out of it then pat with paper towel. Brush is good again!

[@denisegallant4647]

I am binge watching you today on my day off. I love this piece. I hate oven cleaner and would never use it on furniture ( not a relaxing experience for me). You did a fantastic job as usual.

[@KachaFurniture]

Thank you for watching!!! ❤️

[@debk9889]

Very nice outcome. I am impressed with the thinned coco color, and the application process, really pretty neutral on the wood. Great job!

[@bgaspari8783]

This piece turned out so beautiful! I thought it was ironic that the oven cleaner said "fume free"!! Thank you so much for sharing

[@therealJamieJoy]

The fumes may have actually come from the chemical reaction with the wood varnish. Oven cleaner is designed to break down grease and burned on food, so it probably has a very different scent when used properly. I'm concerned that we don't know if toxic fumes are being created by the combination of cleaner/varnish. So happy Kacha used a respirator!!

[@vaderladyl]

@@therealJamieJoy Actually the "Fume Free" is still very potent and have a strong smell when used in the oven.

[@morbidmanmusic]

When used under normal conditions. That is how they'd test the claim

[@libertadahora6547]

Never in my life have I used mask when cleaning my oven but since I saw this can remove varnish from a piece of furniture I'll be using a mask, for sure. Even though in Europe we have different safety rules, I'm convinced I'm risking my lung's safety using these products! Geez, now that is one scoop! Anyway I'm in love with your new design ;)

[@chellepatino1675]

Cleaners can cause just as much damage to lungs as smoking.

[@dawndecker41]

Did you know that Easy off has FUME FREE oven cleaner ? It's great!

[@UnaChefenlaCocina]

Fantastic job I'm sure I'll get many ideas from your channel thank you very much friend happy day

[@joanmanzella8740]

I love how this piece of furniture turned out. So lovely! Great job!

[@joycejenkins0502]

Never understood this trend. It’s every bit as messy as paint stripper. It’s not made for wood. It’s just caustic chemicals, of course it strips finishes, it’s caustic. Keep it for the oven. Glad the dresser came out well.

[@flowerchild777]

I won't even use it on my oven😨

[@stephaniesmith4873]

You are absolutely amazing!!! I've chalked painted for years, but you have helped me realize it's time for me to advance a little! Thank you for your teachings!

[@theheritagehousesc]

Beautiful piece! I love the simplicity and how neutral it is. I love the transfer!

[@elia-mariaabbott9577]

This piece looks SSSSOOOO beautiful simple and lovely..

[@elenareyes2605]

Love this piece very elegant the simplicity of this piece looks very elegant❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@aubreyjackson9770]

Congratulations on your plaque! I love your videos. This dresser turned out beautiful!

[@CandyB843]

Beautiful! I look forward to your videos! I love how creative and informative you are! Thank you so much for sharing and for all your inspiration!

[@lisabobbitt3965]

I've been using oven cleaner for over 15 years. You can use fume free and you can use the cheap stuff from Dollar tree and it works as well. This product is great to use on greasy workbenches that are great antiques and it will take several cans and then you can use a pressure washer. A pressure washer and oven cleaner together are the best and fabulous for really nasty jobs.

[@patriciarobinson5909]

Sounds like good advice! I will try!

[@jessicabeckingham3039]

What about the toxic chemicals that are absorbed into the wood, then released in your home? Or the chronic toxic effect on aquatic life when you wash it off into the waterways? Have you researched the chemicals in these products and their effects on your health, the health of your family and/or pets and the environmental impact?

[@vaderladyl]

Same thing you can do with Mean Green and other stuff with much less toxic chemicals and fumes because even fume free is not 100 percent fume free and it is still toxic and can damage the wood.

[@shyladare]

@@jessicabeckingham3039 Most furniture and products we buy already releases toxic chemicals, that's why like everything and their mama has a cancer label on it in CA.

[@juliahelland6488]

Love ❣ the redesign! The new transfers are amazing 👏

[@kellyblodgett3214]

Beautiful..so eye catching. What a lovely piece. You do great color work but this neutral dresser you knocked out is so beautiful. Please do more if you wish 😍

[@patriciawood5221]

Kacha you have such perfect taste & vision for finished pieces. It’s a pleasure to watch you create

[@marija411]

So pretty, just by looking this piece I feel spring vibe!

[@denasewell]

Awe I love your dog he/she is adorable! I love bullies! This is a beautiful project!

[@maryboorman8979]

Hi Kache! It is really great that you were able to enhance the natural wood on this old piece and give it new life. The transfer is lovely. Good tutorial for use of chalk paint wash.

[@genna2586]

What a beautiful neutral look and transformation to share Kacha. The coco paint by AS is awesome. The transfer is gorgeous, and hardware is perfect. The oven cleaner is not worth it as shown. Thanks for always bringing a smile to my face when looking at your videos.

[@kimziemianin7725]

I absolutely love this piece. I have learned so much from your videos. You are an excellent instructor, and in fact, I love everything that you do with your craft. You’re an amazing furniture artist.

[@DKFisher]

OH my gosh….. I love this one. The transfer is just beautiful!

[@joburrow9863]

So pretty. I love those washes. Great choice of transfers.

[@ladymoongoddess]

You're a magician!!! Every piece you refinish turns out lovely. Never a bad result!

[@rethamoore4282]

Wow!! Your dresser turned out so very beautiful!!

[@francesjones9644]

Hello Kacha, the wash looked lovely. A perfect shade, watery but enough to take the orange out of the wood. Lovely!

[@AngieBuford]

Beautiful! I love the natural wood sometimes even though I’m also all about the paint.

[@lindeehopkins6439]

Sooooo pretty!! Love that transfer!

[@smallhouseinthemeadow6131]

This piece is amazing! You have incredible talent.

[@wolfwarrior3454]

Beautiful piece-the transfer is gorgeous.

[@baljeet50]

As always, stunning piece of art, LOVE IT😍🤩

[@lindalettman624]

I have a tiger oak dresser that we used oven cleaner on. I had the same blotchy result. It’s been in the garage (waiting for summer to work on it) and I think I’m going to do a light wash in the AS color you used. So simple and really pretty!

[@theadster2702]

I can't believe you even tried to do this inside the house!!!! You are brave!!! Outside is not bad at all.....I still wear a mask. I have this SAME dresser!!! It came out nice.

[@christygaffney5814]

Kacha, this is absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@selmadatimacedoe9094]

A love your work! I always paint my furnitures, but I am learning a lot with your videos. Thank you!

[@judybonner8682]

I loved what you have done to the chest of drawers. It is beautiful!

[@caroldershem9757]

I have done this years ago and it works great.

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

Beautiful. Love the print. Lovely.

[@joannjackson6417]

This turned out great. Love the color & transfer. Nice hardware too.

[@jojobtrcook1808]

I tend to like the more natural pieces better. This turned out beautifully!

[@janetwalker3541]

Yes, love it! The floral transfer is a beauty!🇨🇦😀❤️🌸

[@karolinas7804]

So sweet with the little birds transfer. 😍😍

[@lindalovelace8863]

I don't know this way, so I'm going to try it. I love learning from you ❣️.

[@vaderladyl]

She doesn't recommend it.

[@leentjiepayne2180]

Só beautiful Kaćha, 👌🏻I adore that transfer! I just did 2 old pieces and found the older drawers have an odor. I mixed some citrus essential oil in a bit of clear wax and waxed the inside of the drawers and they smell yummy and look 'fresh". (Also the sliders, I just used a candle to run over them and the drawers run in smoother). I'm with you on the oven cleaner😉!

[@saturdayschild376]

I love it. It is rustic and delicate.

[@mysticrebelstar]

You never disappoint! Beautiful!🤍

[@ElleFurniture]

incredible project ❤️ love it ❤️❤️ working this week on a coco project and using the same transfer ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@1983pjb]

Thanks for sharing this valuable information about the oven cleaner! Beautiful piece! 🤩

[@Dezertroze43]

Beautiful! The end result is stunning.

[@wandadelacruz2486]

Another beautiful transformation. Kacha you never disappoint

[@breannahoffman99]

Love that your puppy was helping as mine supervise also 🤣😍 can’t wait to try this!!

[@juliagarcia8345]

You are so talented, I appreciate your knowledge. Thank You.

[@shirleyjohnson3397]

Outstanding transformation!

[@kitten2000]

Clean simplicity! Nice work Kacha💜

[@claudettemiskell2763]

Absolutely fabulous. I’m going to look for an old dresser or other piece to try this on. You are very talented, and I adore your pupper❣️🙏🏼🖖

[@raeden4742]

Love the transfer!

[@lyndaperry386]

I absolutely love this

[@sherifox2612]

Came out so pretty-but, personally I want to see more of the handsome helping dog!!

[@regi8838]

This piece looks great! It’s nice to see you do some different finishes! I live your colorful pieces (always amazing). However finishes like this are not only less time consuming but likely to appeal to more buyers AND less intimidating for viewers/fans like me to attempt 😁 Thanks for your willingness to try new/different finishes as it’s inspiring diy to broader group of aspiring furniture flippers!

[@ClarkJ2265]

Absolutely stunning

[@vickijackson9115]

Beautiful piece of furniture. I love glass knobs that is what I would of used. Love your videos.

[@mariankozlowski4571]

Beautiful! I love the birds!!

[@mariecasasnovas5945]

Sometimes when you start a piece I think is this the first piece of yours I’m not gonna love. And in the end you always amaze me. I did not like the coco color at all then you added the transfer and the piece came to life. So I loved it like all of your Visions it turned out beautiful 👍

[@roshawndalight7470]

Thanks for trying this hack for us. I agree the fumes would be too harsh. Love the paint wash together with the transfer. Great compromise for those who love to see the wood grain. 💖💖💖

[@michelenix1562]

I have this same chest of drawers. I'm so glad I found your channel.

[@catharinakopetschek6204]

One of your best pieces ever ❣❣

[@darksugar3918]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@jensherman2771]

Ohhhhh! This turned out beautiful! Once winter is officially over, I will be refinishing many pieces of furniture that the finishes were damaged due to heat inside a moving truck. This is something I will try for sure. Minus the oven cleaner. I am new to your channel and looking forward to seeing other great projects! Thank you💛💛

[@lizmar5708]

Love your style's and taste in your piece's

[@jennyfalzon9543]

Love that look Kacha. I used the same stencil with a soft mushroom background but can't decide on the hardware. My drawers have just a single hole. Beautiful stencil.

[@scarabvoodoo]

It has quite an Oriental look about it now. I really love it!

[@lindakinzer6698]

I know this is an older video but I love the way you treated this piece of furniture. I would proudly have it in my home. Thank you so much for sharing it!
