Ep. 66 Painted DRESSER gets a GORGEOUS RESTORATION...

[@MadCityModern]

I am back! Thank you to everyone who has checked in over the last month. Hopefully you will understand after watching this video why I took a short break from KZbin. Can't wait to share more content with you soon! Barry

[@Christin5554]

Hi Barry, where have you been??? I missed you!🤨

[@ramsesbyron2004]

Well done. Welcome back !

[@Bella-gj6wc]

I’m relieved your back, as I LOVE your videos, and appreciate the time it takes you to do them. Welcome back! ❤️

[@lauren2966]

Yay! Missed your videos, but having your own vintage booth sounds so exciting, congratulations, 👏

[@christyparr1563]

Your own booth.. WOW! Still glad to have you back though. Good luck with your booth. ❤

[@That70sChannel]

Somewhere on KZbin, there's probably a video of someone showing the process of scuff-sanding and painting that very piece.

[@MadCityModern]

This one made me laugh

[@ktl711]

I have to say, for a project that didn't go exactly as planned, you sure ended up with a sharp-looking result! Very nice!

[@joycemiller6188]

amazing, looks a thousand times better than it originally did.

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you Joyce

[@karencary3312]

This black finish is very popular in some markets. You did well with what you had to work with. You ALWAYS give it your best.

[@brynjarthewarrior2680]

Just watching your work and listening to the tone of your voice has saved me so much money on therapy. I feel so zenn.😊😊

[@MadCityModern]

Wow!

[@charlottefogg8710]

To finish previous comment, as an 80 year young woman,,I really enjoy seeing someone young doing this worthwhile task.

[@ritacollins8666]

So glad you used the original hardware

[@MadCityModern]

Me too

[@carolinamechanic]

Love the dark finish. It may not be what you originally wanted but sometimes beauty comes from necessity. Regardless it now has the chance to be loved for many more years!

[@JennyT372]

Your booth looks like decor heaven to me. The dresser has been saved even if not in the finish you had envisioned, and it lives again.😄

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you so much

[@VioletJoy]

And will live on for many more years to come.

[@lindakennedy1193]

Your booth has some beautiful pieces.... love the orange sofa!!!

[@ЕленаКолесникова-х3г]

Потрясающие преображение комода. Великолепная работа.Черная морилка,это блестящая идея ,видна текстура дерева, это намного интересней,чем краска.Просто супер. Комод заиграл новыми красками. Очень стильно, красиво ❤❤❤❤❤

[@MadCityModern]

You’re watching all my videos 😄

[@ЕленаКолесникова-х3г]

Да смотрю и видео мне очень нравятся.​@@MadCityModern

[@neilbrown3902]

I think it really turned out well. You should be proud.

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you Neil

[@richardpfefier1171]

Oh, and glad to have you back on line!!

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you Richard

[@snowartmom]

The espresso finish looks very classy. Baby dresser, all grown up.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Glad to see you back my friend😉 very elegant result 👌

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@picsbyjoyce]

I love that you are constantly trying new techniques and stress learning! We all need to stretch and grow in life!

[@suesmith9202]

Absolutely beautiful. Well done

[@cliftondavies5094]

This piece with the dark stain turned out to be quite a classy piece. Excellent job on the finishing!

[@jodidavis6595]

I don’t know how or if anyone else has ever become “Unsubscribed” but I was from this channel. I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t getting current or notifications. Boy is that maddening. I’ve resubscribed and we’re back in business. Hope not to miss anymore. This was a nice surprise with the finished piece. Beautiful

[@hpot53]

Glad to see you back. You’ve been missed.

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you so much

[@sharonbelisle550]

It turned out real nice! Black is a good color choice.

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

It's great to see you back, Barry! Your booth at the antique mall is fantastic! The chest of drawers turned out really good. If you want to really darken oak but still allow the grain to show, lye, (if you can find it), is a good way to do that. Of course, it needs to be diluted. Lye reacts with the tannins in oak, and it actually burns them. The longer it is left on the wood the darker the wood will get, but it still lets the grain of the wood show. You did a fantastic job on the piece! It is definitely MUCH BETTER than the way you found it! Looking forward to your next video! 👍

[@ATRestoration]

Came out nice! I would like to see your journey with opening the shop. Some inspiration for you: I rented the ugliest room in the town and opened My furniture shop! First day of my new furniture store! I gave 100 dollars to first client to buy something! :) Difficulties makes a good drama for videos.

[@MadCityModern]

Wow! This is awesome. Would love to hear about your own experiences on your channel. Love your videos. Take care my friend

[@barbannco]

what a pleasing feeling to see that woodgrain appearing under that horrible grey paint.....i used to find it very satisfying when I did anything like this, I wish I was fit enough to still be doing this.......baeautiful job ...I love it.

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you Barbara

[@kevinknight6302]

Nice to have you back Barry

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you Kevin

[@blatantmisconception]

Nice Rolex! Looks sharp

[@MadCityModern]

Thanks

[@Llamarama100]

That sofa is amazing!

[@MadCityModern]

I love it

[@Llamarama100]

@MadCityModern if I was in the US, I'd have it for my house :)

[@susanprendergast7384]

This turned out very differently than I'd supposed. But beautiful. Your workmanship, your mesmerizing voice! So glad I found you! I wish I could join your Patreon support, but alas, I'm crippled and trying to live on, not even regular SS, but Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid, which is impossible. So I cannot help you except with fervent admiration. So glad you came back

[@LatherScreamRinse]

2:56 Favorite part!!!! Soooo satisfying 😂

[@stevesmith6554]

Nice. So much better than paint. Painting wood furniture is a real pet peave of mine.

[@lauriearmetta8472]

I absolutely love the dark stain color on this dresser! It is beautiful!

[@VioletJoy]

I always appreciate your reasoning for doing projects like this - to save these pieces from utter doom. And that you did. This dresser looks rather masculine and could work in a multitude of spaces - living room, dining area, entry, office, place of business, and yes, even a bedroom. Very nicely done as always, Barry.

[@Denise-uv2zq]

Beautiful dresser...glad you are back, we missed you.

[@sherry1867]

It really turned out beautiful.

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you

[@Theordinaryguy2303]

Great to see you back.

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you Sean

[@angelanngel3389]

Good to see You again 😁

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you!

[@timothyarchie320]

I think you did a terrific job with this dresser. Definitely worth the fifteen dollar investment.

[@susansouthern6704]

Best of luck w your vintage booth..everyone will surely see the quality of your workmanship

[@MadCityModern]

I appreciate that Susan

[@marilanderos977]

I really like how it turned out. I’m fond of dark colors & the espresso shade is dark without being black. I would have hesitated to use a shade that dark. It’s so lovely I’m going to order that 4 a family piece I’m working on. I live how u are always so patient working on things.

[@ninoskae]

Your restoration work is as usual exceptional! You also do an amazing job with camera angles, editing, and voiceover! Bravo 👏🏽 👏🏽

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you so much 😀

[@CibelesSanz]

This dresser came out beautiful! The color is perfect!

[@ritacollins8666]

Thank you!! 😊

[@jd9351]

Wow. Really great outcome. You did such a great job.

[@shellygenter8585]

Barry, that expresso makes a bold statement!

[@monicahernandez2876]

Wow, I think you did a beautiful job on this dresser. I know you said it isn’t your style but you would never know by how much love you put in it. I would buy it any day of the week! Lol

[@teresatiradoalonso4139]

El resultado final....perfecto Saludos desde ANDALUCÍA, ESPAÑA 😉 👍

[@MadCityModern]

[@brendarainey4786]

Always a great job👍

[@angelabstractart6168]

Classy!

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you

[@007KrausBean]

I would call that a huge success given the original condition. It looks great. The stain choice is perfect and adds some wonderful character to the piece while working well to hide all of the veneer issues you had. Great work!

[@Olivkazp]

I learn a lot from your videos!

[@rzpotts4]

What a beautiful piece of art. Excellent work.

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you very much!

[@drobb7260]

Wow…. It is stunning!!!

[@sarasolomon4812]

(Me at the end, after listening to him say it's a practice piece, and that he's not happy with the overall results) "...but it's gorgeous!" It really is beautiful. The dark stain makes it look very elegant. 10/10.

[@MadCityModern]

This made me smile

[@LadyGecko]

It turned out nice.

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you

[@samanthawishnoski-py9no]

Beautiful restoration ❤️❤️👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@jmariew9966]

Look what you did? Just beautiful anyone would be proud to thave that in their home.❤

[@ifga16]

It looks 1000% better than before you got to it.

[@brendawaechter7575]

Beautiful piece. Nicely done.

[@beverlywalker8215]

Sometimes the results are better than the original intent. I think you have demonstrated that with this piece. It's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you very much!

[@LeNaInLoVe]

I'm in LOVE! I WANT that ORANGE SOFA 😍😍😍 Edited in: wOw, wow, WoW! It's amazing to watch you BRING old pieces to NEW GLORY. It turned out beautifully! 👍👍

Maestro, ha realizado un gran trabajo. No parece el mismo mueble. Creo que sus decisiones han sido acertadas. Enhorabuena.

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Just very glad to see you .💙

[@MadCityModern]

Thank you

[@marieortiz158]

So weird. I have your notifications on but didn't get it. I was just sitting here wondering why you haven't been around. Glad to see you back. I have the low boy dresser of this set. It belonged to my mother and unfortunately my daughter destroyed it. I salvaged as much as I could but my aunt wants to turn it into a workspace for her. So its alive and well but not in the original condition. Nice that you're back!

[@MadCityModern]

Sorry for any inconvenience. Hope you enjoy the new content

[@marieortiz158]

@@MadCityModern I'm headed to that store next week. I want that peacock set. The gravel art. Love it!

[@lauraheyman2011]

Beautiful!❤😊

[@a.kaiser8965]

the dark is actually chic looking I think it was a good move. the only thing I don't like about you working in the winter? your arms are covered up! :) congrats on the shop hunk!
