[@heather8903]

This piece is absolutely stunning! I wouldn't want to let it go either :)

[@69daviddion]

I live in Tulsa still for sale ?

[@piedpiper7051]

That's a handsome piece! What's really amazing is you did it in 19 minutes and 12 seconds, lol.

[@SabsRehabs]

Lol. Right?!

[@leahs.6780]

I could listen to you tell bedtime stories- what a great voice and detail. I also learned a ton!

[@alineatl6895]

I was thinking exactly the same thing 😂

[@jessicaf6358]

AGREED! You could talk about anything and I'd listen to you!

[@karenguglielmo254]

The BEST tutorial I've seen and I've watched so many my head's swimming! You are now my go to pro!! Thank you!!!!

[@SabsRehabs]

Oh my gosh! Thank you ☺️

[@ankewynmalen1186]

I love the way she lies on the floor when painting the bottom part and then stays there a while. It's what I would do too. And I like the way she talks about what she is doing while she does. I know other flippers do too but this lady is soo relaxing to watch, love it!

[@SabsRehabs]

Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏽

[@badcompany9505]

You are beautiful, talented and well spoken. You have a voice that I could listen to forever.

[@aintcookin]

I’ve watched a lot of furniture rehab videos and this one, YOU, have explained questions I had in my head and some I didn’t know to ask. Keep up the great videos!

[@SabsRehabs]

Glad it was helpful!

[@andrewhampson5162]

Yea this woman is good. Came back and watched again today. She's a pro

[@CarolBroadwater]

New to painting furniture all helpful hints needed.

[@sandsleblanc]

I love how you finish off the cupboard and drawers inside - it's my absolute bug bear when people randomly splash paint on the inside and just think its hidden. Great work!!

[@gwennmcnulty1130]

I have a mid century furniture set from my Grandmother and have been looking for a good way to have it keep some of the wood but add some color. This video has convinced me to do a similar look to what you did here. I can't wait to get started and get this furniture looking absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for posting and including your newbie mistakes as well because it is going to be such an easier and more beautiful set of furniture making sure to do everything correctly.

[@SabsRehabs]

That is awesome!

[@victrola2007]

❤‼ Beautiful finished piece👍. [ON a related topic - From a wood lover and restorer, a HUGE amount of love and gratitude to ALL refinishers and flippers - including myself of decades ago: You make reversal of dated, trendy and tasteless travesties a less angst-filled ordeal. 🤝‼😌]

Wow, thank you!

[@onedayatagirl]

I'm watching your video and I have a laminate piece. You took your sander and I thought.....I can do that. Oh hell no. Now I know what's under the laminate. Had to tape and paint but all is good. I think I should practice on something I don't care about. Lesson learned. Love the results to this great piece of furniture. The curves are so pretty.

[@SabsRehabs]

Thanks! Yah I never tried to sand the laminate off, just scuff sand it for painting.

This is beautiful. I have an old dresser, I got from my neighbor, and I am refinishing it, for my son. I am trying to remove some veneer, or laminate, or whatever it is. I am doing things to this dresser, for practice…so I know what I have to do later. I am really enjoying the process, though.

[@felicitythomson3397]

love this piece...its soooo handsome!!

[@verytiredmum2011]

Stunning

[@SabsRehabs]

Thank you! 😊

[@nukapuka]

To make it easy with cleaning u must hoover it first. Dry clean first. Use a brush, and a tooth brush in corners to fast clean, then the wet clean comes easy and fun. And use mineral spirit at the very end to wipe before sanding/painting. If u fancy that is 😉.

[@nathanpollesch6266]

Thanks so much for taking your time to share your process! And an amazing result too!

[@josephineholohan7350]

Very classy well done 👍
