MCM Dresser Makeover | ALL IN ONE Furniture Paint

[@eliareyes4640]

hi lauren, ellie here from michigan. you mentioned streaks in top coating. well I've learned a technique that helps with streaking. its called paint and roll, use a syntec paint brush to apply the paint then roll it with a small sponge roller to remove streaks. comes out smooth and projects turn out flawless and beautiful. just thought i'd share what works for me. i also do it in sections as i go along before the paint dries. love your channel its very helpful. God bless.

[@erinwhitaker2699]

That dresser was in such great condition! As an experiment, if you ever come across one of those again, you should see if you can just clean it up and resell as is. That piece would command a lot of money in my market with the wood! Less time and expenses, you might come out even or ahead! Just a thought, great job on the paint. I'm thrilled to see you introduce these all in one paints!

[@gildastigliano7936]

bold move to have a 3-tone piece....certainly different than what we are usually shown, AND THAT IS WHAT MAKES YOUR CHANNEL SUPERIOR!!! You show us things not seen elsewhere...It's why we keep coming back...keep up the good (creative) work.

[@wendylawton8274]

The color of those drawers is quintessentially Danish modern-- the most important influence in the mid century.

I really love it!!!! Recovering from surgery .... watching takes my mind off the pain :-/ I like the all in one products !!!!! Blessing to y’all 💜

Works to see creation and divert your mind from the pain. Done that,been there,remember how it was, wish you the best recovery.

I had 6 brain surgeries last year and got hooked on this furniture flipping (and KZbin in general) to keep my mind off the pain! Totally understand and I’m sorry your still hurting! Since being on my feet again I’ve managed to flip and sell 3 pieces! Fun times! Speedy recovery!

[@outofthemudministry6683]

@@cindyluther3275 thank you and BRAVO FOR YOU!!!!!! I’ve had 20 surgeries from nose to toes but never on my back and man the muscles cut through is no joke !!!! So thankful God got you through all yours keep on flipping I just wish there was a way to see everyone’s creations I’ve done some and wish we could show each other in this community!!

[@leorasmoot6422]

Love that color blue! Another great flip!

[@lfuentes4098]

I like the walnut tone better than the light. The piece looked to be in great condition to begin with. Some flippers just use the restore a finish and re-sell without painting or completely stripping. This might have been a good candidate for that. But I like that you use your creativity to make something your own.

[@carolgutierrez7961]

Thank you for helping to make MCM more "today". I lived through the "modern at the time" that my parents liked SO MUCH" and I didn't like it at the time... But, you have a talent of bringing it "up-to-date" while preserving it's "original character" (because it was UNIQUE at the time and needs to be acknowledged as a design-type that met the needs of adults at the time (post WW2 generation)). Thanks for carrying on a design tradition!

[@poodlegirl55]

Beautiful. I like two tone but i would have painted the legs or stained them to match the drawers, I don't like three tone.

[@thesecretgardner]

Nah. People like different things. She is going to do every piece differently and try new techniques and new color palettes. In this case, she preserved the nature of the piece. She’s genuine and talented, and she’s teaching as she goes. Fabulous. 🙌🙌🙌

[@london01332]

You did a wonderful job on this flip. I am definitely interested in using this paint. Keep up the good work.

[@gailakraeszig2866]

Beautiful ( as usual)! I used your discount code and purchased two 32oz paints from the One collection. This Fathom Blue is too beautiful not to purchase and I also fell in love with Restoration Bronze. I want to use one of them ( not sure which one yet) on a Dresser and two nightstands set. I think both colors would look fabulous on these!

[@tapia69at]

Love it! I will look into the new One colors and redo my grandsons dresser, thanks for the idea of not painting the drawers, Lauren and Niemann, stay healthy and keep Happy 😃👍

[@WatchTashi]

Btw MCM has never gone out of style. It’s timeless for a lot of us.

[@sanjosefurnitureflip4758]

Hi Lauren and Nieman, I love the MCM style. I really like what you did with this piece. I think if it was my project, I would have kept the base either the color of the paint or the drawers. But the fun thing about watching your videos is that I get fresh ideas and you are keeping us current regarding products. Please keep up the great work!

[@annecrooker6944]

Love the colour you chose Lauren. For me personally though, I would have painted the base and the legs to match either the paint colour you chose or stained them to match the wooden drawers. Nice work for sure!

[@sarahcalderwood2750]

Love how this turned out. The only thing I might have done is to have painted the legs/bottom the same blue. But that's just me.. The paint looks goods and sounds great...its only one step. Whoo Hoo!

[@paulbeaulieu7561]

Great video! Great piece. The colors are awesome. Going to use the same blue on my, six high, chest of drawers. I can’t decide if I should paint the wood knobs blue or leave them wood tone.

[@shenikaknox9927]

I just LOVE your videos!!! I am so happy you did this. Two toned with blue and wood grain is exactly what I want to do to a coffee table I own.

[@cynthiawilson8294]

Three tone registers so beautifully on the brain; the brain preferring odd numbers in art, especially. It’s just gorgeous!

[@julieeggerthren]

I really truly love the positivity toward people that put their art out there:) You are a good human

[@cynthiawilson8294]

@@julieeggerthren I love people and their artistry my fellow good human.

Looks nice.. legs I think would be nice same colour as the drawers.. but that's just me. Great job. Love your work xx

[@homekeepersinfo5971]

I love what you did with this piece! Thanks for sharing your process, that’s what I love about watching you!

[@ginaburgess9759]

I actually love the 2 tone wood effect. Something different and the right buyer will love it too!

[@cathyknapp9360]

Thank you so much for sharing this piece turned out absolutely stunning love the colour and the bottom piece is beautiful just makes the whole thing pop another great piece thank you so much for sharing and God bless you both have a great evening

[@catcar8212]

Hey Lauren, great find! I love this shade of blue paint with both wood tones. It sure is a sleek design. I've heard of Howard's products but haven't tried yet. The drawers & base look great, and it seems simple enough to apply. So thanks for testing all these new products. Say ~hi to Neiman, you both are doing great work.🌷🌷

[@kathleenhernandez3772]

It's a beautiful piece, glad you found that piece your lucky girl.

[@rosaliefunk1629]

I agree with most of the others. The base (in my opinion) would look better stained the wood color. Everyone has different taste. Someone will snap this up. You are sincere and most appreciate that.

[@marcellamance1812]

I love a MCM! It's awesome that you were able to restore the original finish on the drawers. It tuned out beautifully, fantastic work as always!

[@jackierose3973]

It's beautiful!!!!! Love it.

[@mmlitcher]

LOVE this piece and how it came out!!! I love the combination of the dark wood with the blue which is a beautiful blue and I like the natural that you left the base. Stunning!! I just tried Melange paint myself and was very impressed at how smooth and creamy it is, will have to try the ONE now. Again, great job on this one ❣️

[@lifesaver5384]

Just beautiful! I have a MCM dresser and I am trying to get the courage up to paint it.

[@jettabartholomew1118]

Love this! The 3 tones are PERFECT!!!

[@gloriafields4328]

I love this midcentury modern piece. The love the paint color and the wooden drawers and bottom look great. Thanks Lauren and Neiman for another great video !!

[@debigates2363]

First, I absolutely LOVE how this piece turned out. I love how you took the bottom down to the lighter wood color because it helps make the rest of the piece pop with color. Second, I am SUPER EXCITED that Melange has come out with One!! And I can't wait to buy some. 😁

[@ks7343]

I think this looks GREAT Lauren! I have a chair the needs Howard's restore so thank you for showing this to us! And this One paint looks fantastic!

[@jodicase6961]

I was so hoping you’d review the One paint by Melange!! Thank you!

[@lindabunce5133]

Very beautiful! I would have kept the base veneer as the base has vertical streaks from either the wood or sander. But it is gorgeous. Love the style.

[@elizabethturel78]

Oh, if I’d only kept all my MCM pieces, but in the 70’s it was so passé! Love the drawers. I think the base should match the drawers though, cause the wood looks blotchy. Love your videos, Lauren. 🤗💜

[@candiesmith4329]

[@Bandaid17]

You are such an inspiration. I don’t have the creativity to do the prices that you do but may start with some small pieces. Paint has come a long way. I love the finish on the drawers, so rich looking. Please take care of your back. Maybe raise the projects higher. your 60 year old self will thank you LOL.

[@clawless16]

One of my favorite pieces y'all have ever done! The wood tone goes with that blue sooo nicely!!

love the color. i think i would have done a mustard color with the wood grain the drawers are. think that would look very pretty

[@jenniferdoleshal5614]

I think it is beautiful, love the wood with the blue. I'm trying to paint a table, because of your inspiration, and it's a quite a learning process. Would you ever think about giving lessons at your barn in person?

[@sunflowervalley4145]

Beautiful! Love your choices!

[@cherylbittner885]

I think overall the piece looks ok. The only reason I say “ok” is because personally, I would’ve done the drawers in a natural wood tone. I love the color of the paint, and that it’s an all-in-one. Great job Lauren! 😊

[@elizabethlevine4263]

I disagree, I absolutely love you go out if the box and try different things. I love the difference in the base and drawers. Great piece!

[@TriniMonstera]

I am 9 minutes into the video, cannot wait for the end, I am sure it will turn out gorgeous. Would love to see you redo a credenza or a tv console. Or any other living room pieces as well as sideboards for dining rooms.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

I will see what I come across! Thanks for watching!

[@rebeccarose1578]

It would be cool to see a console that has the stereo system inside! They were SO popular back in the 70’s but great pieces! It had entertainment inside a really pretty MCM cabinet. Oh! Maybe redo a victrola!! You are so talented whatever you do will be amazing!!

[@paulbeaulieu7561]

Great video! Awesome makeover! I like the three tones. I’ve been looking for the right color combination, first or my six drawer chest-of-drawers, and now I’ve found it. It however has matching wood knobs and I can’t decide if I should make them blue.

[@vickiwarren2170]

I'm sorry. I usually love most everything you do. I'm not a big fan of MCM but I think the legs and bottom would look better painted to make the piece more cohesive looking. I am constantly learning from you so thank you.

[@catherine5166]

It’s just beautiful !

[@nancyberg6260]

This is the best of what one means when imagining midcentury. That color with the wood is outstanding. I agree with another comment that the base should match the drawers but then if it didn't turn out exactly,I would hate to regret that decision. I hope the lady who had it since she was small,the one who sold it and had horses could see it,if she cares to. Thank you. As usual the filming and sound is so good.

Hi just started watching your videos and love all the information you give. Not sure if you have done this yet, but was wondering if you would do a video of the different paint brands that you have used and the ones you liked the best.

[@CedarPineDesigns]

I love mid century modern pieces just like this one. You knocked this one out of the park with the color and wood stain contrast. Another one for the books. Beautiful work. Side note, I also recently got into furniture flipping and restoring as well as KZbin. Do you have any tips for me as far as KZbin goes. Thumbnail apps, community posts, editing software, any info will be of big help for me.

[@claudineclaudinehamon2300]

Beautiful top of the dresser, personally I'm not so keen on the light color of the feet and the base, but that's just my taste 😉 😊 Overall, beautiful combination of wood tone and nice paint color 👌👍😊😊

[@judymielcarek6011]

Absolutely gorgeous. Love the drawer fronts. Is it ok to apply wax to a All in One paint. Awesome job, Lauren!

[@melgraner175]

I love the colours you’ve chosen but for the Unstained wood base. It needs to be stained the colour of the drawers, or at least paint it blue! It’ll improve the overall look 100%

[@dsr8223]

I love updated MCM, but... I think the base was constructed with cheaper wood under the veneer,. With that veneer gone, the base's vertical color streaks and blotchy grain detract from the sleek horizonal MCM look. Still a cool piece, though. I hope you get a quick sale.

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

all your projects are nicely done Lauren. This one is super Dope though. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
