Buy the DREO Solaris 718 Space Heater: bit.ly/47AF1Ly Enjoy a 21% exclusive discount on the DREO website with my code: madcity Or buy it on Amazon: amzn.to/47DkRRc Save up to $160 with DREO Christmas Bundle and win over $1500: bit.ly/3ORd0Xy I found this 1960s Mid-Century Modern Credenza on Facebook Marketplace several years ago and have been using it in my home since; however, it shows obvious signs of normal wear and tear, requiring satisfying paint removal, intricate veneer repairs, and a bold new finish. Join me as I turn this restoration project into a one-of-a-kind vintage piece to be cherished for many years. Thank you for joining me. Barry

I think the the beauty of the wood stands for itself and the different grain patterns and color variations make this piece as interesting as it is beautiful. That is something painting it would not do. I was also very impressed with how well the wood decompressed.

I love that you have a wood burning fireplace. When we had our 1910 house remodeled/restored, we had a chimney and a Rumford fireplace installed. The builders tried and tried to get me to make it a gas fireplace, thinking I would regret the mess of wood, but I prevailed! I love our wood fireplace and I’m so glad I fought for it. On these freezing Idaho nights, with fog and hoarfrost all I can see out the windows, a crackling wood fire is so warm and comforting. That’s a beautiful credenza and you did a masterful job restoring it!

AMEN! to your "natural beauty" comment!!! I do see the occasional need for paint, but you can still add new veneers to pieces that have a finish that is just too far gone and dignify and accentuate the original design. I learn quite a bit from your videos, so THANK YOU!

Another absolutely fantastic restoration, Barry! The wood grain on this piece is beautiful. When it cones to screw holes being stripped out, I use wood match sticks and wood glue in them, and put the screws in before the glue dries. It creates a really strong hold, and, since wood glue won't adhere to metal, the screws can be removed without issue. This one truly came out beautifully! The quality of the piece, along with the remarkable quality of your restoration prowess make a great combination, and the result speaks for itself.

Barry, I love watching your videos, you have such a calming voice. When I was a young girl, my father was a man who could turn his hand to anything. I used to love to help him. When I got older all that watching helped me. I could wallpaper with the best.😂😂 But my life brought me to live in England and needing new furniture, I would go to second hand shops and buy cheap pieces to refurnish. In England it was called utility furniture, built after the war. But I used to bring them back to life. Then we moved into a five bedroom house with all the woodwork being white gloss, which I hated. I started with a product called Nitromoors, there was no KZbin then, so i made a lot of mistakes. Now, I live in PT, and don't need anymore furniture, plus I am now 70 years old and my hands have taken a toll on all my hobbies. Plus, there are so many new products to use which helps. Sorry for the length of this comment, but I wanted to share the memories you have brought out.

I love the word " CREDENZA "! How neat you went looking for the old factories. I genuinely find it helpful that you list the products you use. I dont have a lot of money to waste on mistakenly purchased products; if i can see a product in use and then decide for myself, then help out a fellow crafts person? All good. Bonus i would have never considered buying a recliner through the mail order without your specific review. I used your link so hope they chucked you a buck or two!❤❤
