Wow!! You have surpassed 80,000 subscribers!!! Congratulations sweetie!! So deserving!! ❤❤❤❤

[@marilynmourdock3688]

Enjoy your new house and workshop! We will see more beautiful things!

[@pennyrickard948]

I wish I lived closer to you! I would buy it in a minute!

[@cheriayala]

Girl you are so talented. Good luck in your new home and work shop where you can create beautiful things.

[@gailrhodes2859]

I think you did and awesome job on it!! I don’t like the chippy look. I was so excited when you got away from the black and white cuz I always just imagined it was my colors but it’s a little harder to imagine smooth white or blues with the chippy look but I love both of your channels and I learn so much from you especially when you do the decoupage items but you are such a great teacher and person it is such a wonderful thing when I get to learn from you!! Can’t wait to see you all settled into your new home and shop!!

[@joannrapp137]

Just lovely. As always a great job. Thank you for sharing.

[@laurasposato8366]

It looks like one we had in our room when we were born and we were born in the 50's Beautiful.

[@lindap9079]

My guess is 50s also. Possibly 40's

[@brendaphilyaw3677]

This is a beautiful piece! Job well done! Can’t wait to see you in the new workshop and home!! Love and Best Wishes and may God Bless your sweet family!

[@jadestone8552]

It will all work out wonderfully

[@teresadoherty1853]

Wow just flippin wow

[@BrigetteFranklin]

Look forward to more in your new setting!

[@amandaburgess7316]

There is a beautiful eye in the grain of the wood on the wall beside your right shoulder.

[@sheilaistatt1284]

I went to your booth at Hog Creek today. Yes the rusty crusty oil can is mine. Also the long wooden candle mold. Your booths are amazing. Thanks for the heads up on a really neat antique area.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. THAT’S AWESOME!! Thank you

[@galefraker7910]

Beautiful 🎉 Excited to keep up with all the new developments and updates!

[@trinadorcheus1719]

You are such an inspiration.

[@robincivis9501]

Gorgeous!! The color!!!

[@carolkokx9638]

So glad you give old pieces New Life

[@paulavanduynhoven8951]

Beautiful outcome for your last piece at the old shop❤. I love that color ❤❤❤

[@donnadozier4294]

Beautiful! Love the green 💚

[@sherryroseman]

Oh my goodness! Love it. Wish I lived close by....my color. ❤

[@debbiegrounds9049]

Another beautiful makeover ❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you! 😊

[@zonyasvintage7859]

[@sylvialangworthy1435]

Love the color! What a beautiful piece! Lovely job Yvonne. 🤗

[@anniehamilton1709]

What a pretty piece. The basil colour is so lovely. Love the little castors on the feet. TFS

[@aprilpeterson6152]

Best of luck with your move!

[@jeanine6492]

You are an inspiration to me. I’m ill and I’m trying to do more and you inspire me to try to get something, even a little thing started. Thank you 🙏

[@JeanneAlbarado]

God bless you 26:09

[@GingerChickRehab]

Prayers sent your way🙏💕

[@marypoole2393]

Love the dresser. I bought one like that over 30 yrs ago unfinished from JC Penny’s. But mine came with shelves. Is it considered vintage. I love the color green and as much as I like old looking stuff I think I would of like it better without the big chippy look. The hardware really takes over the top. Great job my friend. Hugs

[@kiwisteppa]

😊we used to call these Manrobes, for a gentleman's bedroom where they didn't need the hight for dresses. Love thr green...tfs even when you must be so busy and stressed! Best wishes x

[@jaynebrown693]

😢😢 Bye old shop…… bittersweet for sure! I think this piece is from the 1950’s . I remember those animal stickers from my childhood on children’s furniture, I think a puppy and bunny! YES it was all made out of very hardwood! It would last through the years and ALL THE CHILDREN! Now the stickers on the side….LOL!!!! Anyone’s guess🤣 Sweet Pickins Milk Paint in BASIL is my all time favorite color! Yes, I did let out a little squeal of excitement! If someone is upcycling a piece I’m buying I ask for that color! Love it…love it and shape with the dark wax …a double love!!! Excited for the new shop…I hope there is “ pallet wood” in the plans 🥰

[@GingerChickRehab]

It’s a amazing color. As a green it seems very classic. I can see why you ask for it🤍

[@cathysmith387]

Absolutely love it ❤

[@valentinat3250]

Beautiful job!

[@lindapayne1787]

Love the Basil paint color and the crazing. It gave a lovely aged look to this vintage piece. But te large spots of missing paint on the drawer fronts that occurred when you sanded over the crazed areas weren't to my taste as I prefer a subtler look. So glad you kept the original casters and the new black hardware was a great choice. A great last project and best wishes for many new great things in your new home and workshop!

[@kellihull7600]

The Basil is beautiful! Perfect Christmas green too! Yay on new beginnings and thanks to the old ❤

[@karoleenascottage]

Sweet Pickens has a bonding agent you can mix in with the milk paint and it really helps it adhere. Less chipping and cracking but a yummy milkshake-like finish!

[@ineldafitte5797]

so awesome, gingerchic

[@rbirkheimer59]

Just think of what you have accomplished !You guys worked so hard for so long to get this far and you did it!!!!! It is bittersweet. So many memories. You and Chris will make even more memories together as holidays roll around with your kids. The little armoire looks great. You did a great job on that considering all the stains and adding shelves. I love the color. You guys dreamed the dream and now it's here:) You are blessed. God Bess. Hugs to you my friends. Rebekah.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you so much!!

[@judymelchert3966]

I had the same bureau when I had my first baby in 1978. Still in my mothers back hall for yard storage and shes 96 !

[@GingerChickRehab]

That’s awesome

[@deborahtaylor-baker844]

I love the way it turned out. Gonna miss seeing that pallet wall Chris built.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Hopefully he’ll build a new one.. in time

[@cindygrim3060]

I loved your last piece. Such a bittersweet video

[@brennagreenglasspeacock]

Beautiful colour! Nice last piece for the old shop ❤

[@chandazargo2302]

Oh how I LOVE THAT green color. I just received my first Milk Paint yesterday and I am so excited to try it. I was scared to try it , yet after seeing you use it many times now on your pieces with great results I am going to try it. If it is successful I know just the piece I will do next in the “Basil” color! I am grateful for all that you do and share for I have learned so much and encouraged to create with new and different products.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. have fun

[@None-685]

Will miss your backdrop to bad you can’t take it with you. The green color is pretty

[@GingerChickRehab]

I know.. I really wanted to take the doors 🤗

[@None-685]

When you go out antiquing or Pinterest look how pieces naturally aged or have worn over the the years you might get new ideas for aging a piece. Years ago I tried using a block of paraffin wax to act as a resist before painting. Kinda fun and surprising.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh yes.. that’s a fun technique

[@lauraleederos178]

Love it !!!

[@judyblaise1639]

My baby bed had those decal type stickers on the ends and I was born in 1949. Mine was lambs.

[@joycesnyder2988]

Beautiful work and I Congratulate you both for all the work you have done, you are a wonderful team!!! Keep them coming I so enjoy watching you and getting all your tips🦋❣️👍

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you so much!

[@Laura-to2kz]

Need to get Chris home with you full time so we can learn more woodworking. My late husband could build anything, restore anything...have a feeling Chris is the same. I inherited all his tools...maybe Chris could do some videos on how to use and how to maintain...I for sure would love those!!!❤❤❤

[@donnamcl6134]

me too!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@JeanneAlbarado]

WOW you did an amazing job!! What a wonderful project to remember your last video! May God continue to bless you and your family. I can’t wait to see your new shop

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you so much!

[@joannejones2754]

Love the green but it was the perfect piece for the mustard color you used earlier. Your work is always great 😊

[@cherylparish1375]

Blessings to you as you end one extremely gratifying chapter of your journey both as an artist and as a keeper of your former home. You can tell from your videos that the house was well loved and cared for just as you have breathed new life into furniture "diamonds in the rough". Looking forward to how your move will inspire you to take on more incredible projects. Thank you for still sharing during this busy time!

[@trotting-along-thrifting]

Love that green. Absolutely beautiful and old looking 😮

[@nualarosth8448]

The best of luck in your new home and work shop.❤

[@kimhamburger673]

The piece turned out beautiful.

[@mythreesons8084]

I have one that my Grandpa made!

[@judithstonier9872]

The colour is beautiful on a very versatile piece we used to have a dressing table very similar which was from the 50s I'm sure you will have as lovely a staging area and all the excitement of starting again in your new place xx

[@creativeroadsartbyjulialee9973]

I love the furniture piece ..!it’s so unique

[@roxiewallace2900]

I will miss the pallet wall, but who knows what awesome background you two will create? It will be a relief to be in one location and then you can just get the new place organized! Your new house is beautiful...new adventures ahead!😊

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@suerobertson5132]

LOVE that color,, 🦘🦘🐨🐨

[@RoxannS2417]

Aborable ❤

[@marmeeh]

I think it is from the 40's or 50's because of the decals that you couldn't really see, but because it had them on it, that is my opinion.

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

I love the basil color and the cabinet. I wish it was mine! Everybody should subscribe to your new channel, i love it!

[@irenemajor8974]

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! 😍

[@janicebates817]

I really liked it solid green with the crackle, and dark wax.

[@PaigeNicoleKomar]

You can hear the echo in your empty shop! Can't wait to see what you do...

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh yes.. it definitely echoed

[@mwcmwc8768]

That was so beautiful before you used the heat gun and sanded it!😍

[@KathleenNieto]

What a beautiful green!

[@marleekosanke145]

Love the color ❤ can't wait to see your new shop done and the journey to get it done.

[@cindycribb7387]

Love it BEAUTIFUL COLOR

[@ellenl5626]

How sad but also exciting! I will miss Chris' gorgeous wall.

[@figgy7099]

I also love your chalk paint colors, they are true to primitive and earth tone shades. Yummy!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you so much!

Perfect color! I LOVE IT! Looking forward to seeing your new shop. I'm sure Chris will make you a staging area that you will love just as much as the one in the old shop. TFS

[@GingerChickRehab]

I hope so too!

[@JulieALamb-ih4jc]

I used to have that same piece! The 2 characters on the front were baby sheep. Looks great, I'm not a fan of that chippy but it's cute.

[@dsteinly]

Yes...I still have mine!! 1950s. It was called a chifferobe.

[@EmmaTaylor-mk5yn]

Great piece an lovely color.

[@sherrymcsherry2984]

What a beautiful transformation. Love the green. I would use this in my kitchen. It’s great for extra pantry space, kitchen linens, and kitchen gadgets. The height is perfect for the microwave.

[@janicecole6066]

It is wonderful

[@ritahall8653]

Love the new shelves

[@carengroce4226]

[@pamkendrick1855]

Beautiful Yvonne!

[@MsJet1]

Congratulations on your last makeover in your old house! Next one will be exciting in your new old house!

[@lesleycastle5855]

So beautiful❤

[@lynnesims8814]

I’m pretty sure this piece was once in a science or chemistry classroom . My father in law worked in maintenance on buses and one time a school closed and he was given several pieces of furniture from the school. There was a piece that looked just like this. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Love your vlogs!! So excited for you and Chris in your new adventure!!❤️🙏🏼

[@heatheryoung9949]

I love the paintbrush you used. The armoire is beautiful.

[@oliviamoreno1047]

Good luck in your new home! 🌺
