Any guesses on what this sold for? Give it your best shot! What was your favorite part of today's flip?

[@NiRENiRE]

One of your worse pieces so far. So disappointing..

[@NursingNursing-bs7hb]

I am going to say $250?? And the best part was covering the blue paint that wouldn’t come off.

[@euleethapringle8484]

My favorite part is you didn’t give up and figured out another design!

[@cynthiaburen180]

Loved everything...except the stencil drawers. It would have looked so much better. Had you paint washed the drawers before stenciling ... Or just left the stenciling out completely. Otherwise, good job!

[@sandylaster8152]

$850

[@MadCityModern]

Love how this one turned out! There's no way the plywood on the sides would have stained well, so great decision to move forward with paint. Loved seeing you use the carbide scraper. Awesome job with this one!!! You do great work!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thanks buddy! I almost said “sorry Barry” when I recorded that part! Lol I’ll get better at it eventually.

[@thesentimentalsoul3683]

I adore the outcome. Vintage and antique furniture pieces are my favorites.

[@sophiachristo7546]

It's SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! The color you chose is amazing! The stencil on the row wood was a brilliant idea! The knobs are fantastic! I love everything about this transformation! Thanks so much for sharing

[@jeaninedrylie1499]

I'm blown away with your transformation on this one. I couldn't visualize what you were doing, which made the reveal especially amazing.

[@portuguesehydrangea4818]

I instantly sang “ohohohohhho, the right stuff” when I read your t-shirt. 😅

[@IrishAnnie]

Sometimes the furniture makes the decisions for you! This is lovely! Great job!

[@donnaferrara947]

That blue paint did NOT want to go! Great job - it looks fabulous!

[@anndrabek3038]

Kara that came out fabulous. I love the stencil it bumped it up a few notches and came out beautiful!!!

[@rzpotts4]

This is an amazing piece. Love the finished design. 😊

[@kdeake]

I think this is just beautiful and I love the stencil too...

[@dorisroesch5017]

This piece turned out beautifully in spite of the challenges you faced. You do such beautiful work!! ❤️

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much!

[@deawallace3584]

I suggest using a dryish brush to dab paint on the stencil areas..keeps paint from running under edges of the design. Also it is good to use 3 colors (dark, medium,light) for the design...gives depth and interest that keeps the eye moving instead of just an unlively flatish look.

[@susanmaxham8397]

OMG! I just love how this bureau turned out. I know you usually do more contemporary pieces, but you did an amazing job! I also love the fact that you use best practices when you work and it shows. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much! Yes, this one was a stretch for me but I did love the end result!

[@jazpoop7976]

The stencil is my favorite part! This turned out gorgeous!!!

[@Zombie-adventures]

I love seeing the beautiful wood grain! Thank you for not painting it white like others do! Awesome job!!! Lovely!!!

[@pattym4543]

Even though it was a lot of effort and elbow grease with the paint removal, the decisions you made with the paint wash and stenciled drawers were wonderful! Everything came together and you created a dazzling piece…wow! A real beauty!!🎉👏🎉👏

[@jillmason9129]

Wow! It’s so beautiful! Great job sticking to it!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you! 😊

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

The dresser turned out great. Love the stencil. I love the grain of oak but not the orangey color. You nailed it.

[@diannahartin8394]

Turned out absolutely great

[@cathyfinley3767]

I love this piece.

[@rejanebelanger8953]

Beautiful piece!

[@thesentimentalsoul3683]

Beautiful piece. You loved it back to life. 💛

[@mariedrotar3215]

I think it came out beautiful!! My favorite part of this flip was the reality of flipping, This was truly making lemonade out of lemons.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much!

[@melissathorn8109]

Gorgeous flip! Love how it turned out.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thanks so much!

[@CSWells-uq4jx]

Also, some thing I find a little bit easier than doing a paint wash, is using a white wax over raw wood. And I apply it kind of like it to paint wash and go ahead and rub it in and then wipe it right off. And that also adds a little bit of extra protection. that’s how I prefer to do any pieces that I have that I am able to strip there, and it gives it this really bleached wood look. Then if I put a stain over the white wax, it makes it look really aged and weathered like reclaimed wood. Just don’t do this to walnut. It goes a weird purple grey color. It works best on Pine and maple. And it’s the only way I’ve found to make mahogany stay light.

[@cliffhorman6846]

Its lovely.

[@toddylu6869]

This is a very pretty dresser and your design decisions were perfect for it!

[@Jan-qv8ku]

Wow! Great job!

[@lynnwahlen9919]

It's beautiful!

[@cathyjackson5959]

Oh Wow!! I’m Loving the paint wash & the wood grain showing thru!! Also the stencil with same paint wash is gorgeous!! The subtle character with your amazing staging is Fabulous!!! 🌸💓🌸 Kuddos to you going out of your comfort zone for this lost homemade Beauty!!!👑🌹💓

[@catwoman4882]

Thank u so much. I have a piece very similar to this but in flat black paint with cast iron knobs. U have inspired me to get back to it..❤

[@MrsJax304]

This turned out beautiful

[@juliabarron2122]

Lovely!

[@paigepooler9036]

this is beautiful! Love the stenciling in subtle color shifts. Lovely job!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much!

[@alentrevor]

and Mrs T WOW what a great job you have done here. The piece looks really lovely well done

[@midgethorn4083]

[@kimramsey2089]

Love the finished product

[@stephaniecorella8667]

Looks awesome!

[@susancade2092]

Super, super great job! It is beautiful!❤

[@suesherman3587]

So adorable ❤

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Looks amazing.

[@kimhough7753]

It turned out great! I have a dresser that was painted blue and I mean blue everywhere…on the inside the drawers…streaked all over the place and I’m having a hard time removing the paint. It’s so frustrating when you have a piece like that but you did a great job!

[@enagonzalez6463]

I loved it! ❤

[@cydmack4074]

Love the new look- you’ve inspired me - thanks

[@SarahParalegal]

I just love how great the neutral knobs look.. And the surprise factor with the stenciling looks great. With the paint being so hard to get off. I think that's a tip-off that there could be lead paint. You should talk about that in your next video. It's great that you saved another beautiful piece from the landfill.. Absolutely, gorgeous wood.. I think this piece is absolutely beautiful..

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you! I did test for lead before I started. So it’s strange! Not sure why it was so difficult!

[@rozannamurayama9629]

It is beautiful!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you! 😊

[@annmccue4431]

Stunning!!! 😊

[@cliffhorman6846]

Loved it, very fresh and airy! BIG job I can see. Well done.

[@sheilasmith4427]

Surprise looks fantastic.

[@lyndagreenwald3909]

Wow!!! You did it again! You’re so talented. Love the colors you used. 👍

[@angielyons6914]

LOVE IT!!!

[@suzyjackson5514]

[@pamsharp7656]

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@anastasiaremmes6601]

I loved it!

[@Ejl1958]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@vickiecaskey9797]

Wow! Love this ❤

[@justdi3347]

This is by far my FAVORITE piece you have ever done. This is just the look I love. I don’t even know if I commented the first time I saw it but it is worthy of a second. I WILL be doing something like this in my own home. I don’t flip I just watch and learn. I’m so thankful for you, you stay right with your flipping theme. So many channels get bigger and bigger and then go away from the roots of what brings us to you. I’m all for growing but this is what me personally love to watch most of all. I don’t stay engaged when I watch what goes into stores or more about merchandise rather then flipping. So CONGRATULATIONS to you. Have a wonderful weekend

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you Di. This was def my fav flip of 2023!

[@annpotter5366]

Love Love Love it!!!! I want it !!!

[@cynthiastanfordsuppon5761]

Love it!

[@vjohnsonbarrett]

When I first saw the colors you'd chosen, my expectations were low. And how wrong I was! I absolutely love this piece and it would fit in well in my home. Great job!

[@amymyers7713]

Now thats bad ass

[@Sansara6666]

What a difference ! You did a fab job of restoring it.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!

[@barbarakosloski9260]

Great refinishing. Looks so nice afterwards. 👍👍

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Beautiful! ❤

[@susanagrella961]

Loved the finished dresser. A lot of hard work and rethinking choices along the way. You know what your doing and it shows.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much! That is such a great compliment!

[@user-op2vi3nu2m]

Yes, the furniture does lead the way at times! Very nice results!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Yes! Thank you!

[@jackiejordan6950]

Looks great

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

@jackiejordan6950 Thank you! I really appreciate you being here! Hope to see you next time!

[@reneemiller5966]

Absolutely beautiful

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you! 😊

[@conniesisco6468]

Stunning!!!! I had a cabinet that had drawers on one side and a door on the other that had been natural wood, pale yellow, blue, hunter green then brown! Lol When I tried to strip it, everything came off down to the blue. That blue refused to come off. I tried a heat gun and finally wound up using a scraper. It had plywood panels exactly like your piece, and I ended up painting those and doing a wash over the rest, it was a nightmare and took forever, but it’s absolutely beautiful now.

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Yes!! Sounds just like this crazy project!! It was worth the save in the end!

[@kimberlymiller8988]

I’m so impressed. WOW. Great job❤

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much!

[@virginiaforrister1606]

Good job!

[@LisaKessler-o1q]

I was not crazy about the color you chose and I didn't like the knobs you chose but it did come together better than I thought. I may have chosen a different color and different knobs but I do like the stencil on the drawers and I think I will be doing that on an old dresser I use in my main bathroom. It was a lot of work but I was impressed with how you handled it.

[@reneehunt906]

So beautiful!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@fantasticforties]

It looks great!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thanks!

[@marilynweist2645]

I have to be honest! At first I wasn’t sure about the direction you were going in! But the finished product looks GREAT! Love it!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thanks so much!! I wasn’t sure about my direction either!! Lol I’m happy it sold so quick. Thanks for watching!

[@deniseparker6346]

Beautiful and original. Nicely done!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you very much!

[@yvonneagosto7310]

Wow!! What a transformation!! Loved it!! ❤❤

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Yay! Thank you!

[@julivee9505]

Im not sure about hardware, but the rest is beautiful!

[@carolynm9638]

That’s what I thought too. To me the top small drawers look out of wack due to keyhole in the centre. Maybe one centred handle would be better? But I absolutely love the design on the large drawers! I’m going to copy this style on my old waterfall kitchen cabinet.

[@margogreen8619]

Wow that turned out super gorgeous!

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!

[@theheritagehousesc]

I love how it turn out! The only thing I would change would be the knobs with something more like a jewel type, to give the piece a more feminine look, since it is so chunky. Either way it looks great and very classy! Nice work!

[@lorrainegreen6782]

This is the most beautiful dresser I have ever seen! I would love to see a companion piece in the same style. Breathtaking! 💕🥰

[@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture]

Thank you @lorrainegreen6782! This makes me smile! So happy to hear! Hope to see you next time!

[@robinpriego4453]

Love it🎉🎉🎉
