Pink Horror Turned Timeless Elegance: Nightstand Makeover

[@ivylane-home]

What do you think about this new color? Are you a fan? ☺️ Here’s an affiliate link to the products I used on this flip: urlgeni.us/amzn/DixieDeadSalmon

Oh girl!! I don't run screaming from too many furniture refinishing challenges but anything hot pink to start with is a deal breaker for me!! When my pupils stopped burning I could see your paint choice (or any paint choice really) would be an improvement!! And tell me the truth... how many naughty words escaped during the drawer runner fiasco?! At my house a drunken sailor would have blushed and I would have given up and spent the remainder of my day making a "free fire wood" sign!! So, on behalf of the worlds landfills, I want to thank you for your undying optimism!! They turned out great!! ❤

[@ivylane-home]

Ha, Coleen! You’re hilarious. The drawer slide. That was the most frustrating part. I hate them! 😅🙌🏼

[@franceswright8277]

As always, you made them beautiful!! They need to change the name of that paint!

[@LorraineSutton-nq4xe]

This is Lorraine from Corning New York you did an excellent job on the hot pink stance they look beautiful they were a mess now you turn them into something great that is so nice maybe you could get more stuff and redo it over and sell it just a thought you are a wonderful person and a blessed person keep the videos coming I hope you have a Merry Christmas and 2024 and a Happy New Year and 2024 be blessed be happy be safe be well and be merry

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks, Frances! Ha, right?! 😬

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks, Lorraine! Merry Christmas to you! 🎄

[@southern-sass]

A lot of hard work & they now look great!

[@ivylane-home]

Indeed, they were rough. 😬 Thanks! 😊

[@cynthiagayheart5673]

Wow! Very beautiful I love how it turned out. From ugly duckling to a swan❤

[@ivylane-home]

Indeed! Thanks Cynthia!

[@Bluedot6262]

I like how you explain what you’re doing. What a beautiful transformation.

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks! It’s fun to share the process. 😊🙌🏼

[@trendtalklive]

Beautiful! And a great color choice as well!

[@ivylane-home]

Aw, thank you! 😊

[@RisingCrimson]

What a gorgeous save!

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks so much!! 🤩🙌🏼

[@EdnaBoil]

Lisa, you worked your magic again! You never disappoint!! They turned out beautiful, I love the color! Well done!!

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks, Edna!! It was a rough set, but now they are ready for a second life. 🤩🙌🏼

[@judywilliamson2068]

Oh, I love what you did with the nightstands! But I gotta say, it’s unfortunate nite stands were in such sad shape prior to painting because I loved the hot pink too! 😜 The beige is much, much more sellable. I just love seeing items saved from landfills. I’ve always believed in recycling and the older I get the more I appreciate young women like you, who give older furniture a second life!

[@ivylane-home]

I agree! I think the hot pink would have worked if she had fixed the substrate first. Oh well, they have a second life now. Thanks Judy! 😊🙌🏼

[@epvs8373]

Hola Judy y Lisa: Me uno a su opinión, esos muebles debían salvarse del vertedero. Cualquier color es precioso para ellos, pero debes ser un buen profesional como Lisa y trabajar la base previamente. Después pon el color que quieras. En beige son elegantes y les gustará a muchos. Un saludo.

[@luch5146]

Absolutely beautiful. What a lovely color! 💕

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks! It’s so much better than that hot pink 😅

[@jayhawkgirl5785]

Lady.. You are a magician! They are gorgeous!

[@ivylane-home]

Aw, Thanks so much!! 🤩🙌🏼

[@michellesutton202]

Love the change in color. Whoever you got it from, did "the best to their ability". However, it was kinda a disaster, cause it really wasn't properly repaired before the painting. Which put you at a disadvantage on what you could do for your roi. You did a fabulous job as always, this color is sooooo much better❤❤😅😅

[@ivylane-home]

Yeah, I didn’t look them over close enough. It’s always a little awkward when you’re right there with the seller. 😬 I have passed on pieces, but since this had a maker’s mark I thought I’d be good. Once I saw all the damage though 😩

[@michellesutton202]

@ivylane-home oh for sure I get that, and the makers mark is worth something to someone. And who knows someone will maybe able to repair it

[@ivylane-home]

@@michellesutton202 that was my thought too 🤷‍♀️

[@mollymackenzie3307]

Very very pretty! I love them and the color. 😊

[@ivylane-home]

They look much better than their hot pink days, don't they? 😊

[@justjulee9135]

I am a lover of all things pink! However, the hot pink was not it on these! I love the color you chose with just the slight undertone of pale pink, and the drawer liners were beautiful. One hundred percent improved!

[@ivylane-home]

Aw, thanks Julee! Glad you like them!

[@wodi28179]

WOW! Absolutely gorgeous! Great job!! ❤😊

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks so much! 😊🙌🏼

[@janicemcb2325]

A beautiful restoration! From an ugly duckling to a beautiful neutral swan!

[@ivylane-home]

Indeed! Thanks, Janice! 😊🙌🏼

[@LilyBecca]

They look fantastic!! I think that paint color was an excellent choice for the style.

[@ivylane-home]

Aw, thank you! I’m glad you like it 😊🙌🏼

[@natalieelisabeth5767]

So pretty! Your drawer liner game is 💯Great job!

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks so much! I really love how the drawer liner pops. 😊

[@arthurscave]

Great job AGAIN 🙂 Thank you for showing your work. Have a good time Arthur

[@ivylane-home]

My pleasure, Arthur. Thanks!!😊

[@kaytidmore1948]

Love how they turned out! Great color….like your attention to detail.❤

[@ivylane-home]

Aw, thanks! It was a tough project, but the details were so worth it. 😊

[@pfles1]

Amazing taking on a difficult project like this. I’d also say you’re quite brave to fix the drawers after you’ve painted. I’d have messed up my paint job if I’d done that. 😊

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks so much! It is a risk for sure with some paints, but Command paint dries so rock hard I wasn’t concerned. 😊🙌🏼

[@pamelabailey6663]

Thank you for the info on your business decision on the extra hardware; helpful. Beautiful as usual 😊

[@ivylane-home]

You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful 😊🙌🏼

[@danielleweston1492]

You are a wonderful inspiration for me and have elevated my work!

[@ivylane-home]

Aw, thanks Danielle! ☺️🙌🏼

[@gretchen_needs_a_dog]

Wow! These pieces look great! I give you so much credit for all of the work you did to make them refinishable in the future showed great respect for the furniture. I appreciate you and your work! I also love to see your various techniques on the different repairs - that is so helpful to me as I attempt to repair old beaten antiques I’ve inherited. I love the color you chose, although salmon in the name gave me a start after all of the hot pink mess! 😂

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks!! It’s always a delicate balance in refinishing and also being practically minded when it comes to the business side. I figured a more nuanced pink would tone down the hot pink and if they don’t sell I can always paint them black! 😅🖤

[@dao8805]

❤Beautiful result!

[@ivylane-home]

Aw, thank you! 😊🙌🏼

[@veronicakalma5138]

Another beautiful transformation!! I’m sooo enjoying your channel!

Just beautiful, you have way more patience than me!!

[@ivylane-home]

Oh gosh, I had my moments of frustration 😑

[@kimberly.007]

Lol WWKT? (what would Kacha think?) About that pink? Lol These were cute as is, but as usual you did a gorgeous transformation.💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks, Kimberly!! 😊🙌🏼

[@briemills9209]

Not a fan of the taupe but, I have to say, you did a great job with them and they look really nice now. That hot pink would have sent me running for the exit.

[@ivylane-home]

The Dead Salmon was a bit risky, but since it was in the same color family I thought it would help blend in the excessive overspray. Thankfully, they sold quickly

[@dianah.2684]

Yeah, great save Lisa!!

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks Diana! 😊🫶

[@jackieostrander9667]

Turned out really nice.

I feel your pain with that drawer slide. Fought with one on my last project!

[@ivylane-home]

I hate them! 😑

[@Restorations.by.Rachel]

That was a hot mess! Love the color you chose.😍

[@ivylane-home]

Hot mess, indeed! Why do I do this to myself?!

[@Restorations.by.Rachel]

@@ivylane-homeanything campaign is your kryptonite!😂 Although I guess you can’t say that with the brutalist nightstands.🤔😆

[@ivylane-home]

@ ha, so true! I guess I just like different 🤷‍♀️

[@ellenfoster9764]

I would never hav3 taken this pair on. Glad that you did, though. Lovely

[@ivylane-home]

I should not have 😑🫣😬 Thanks!

[@michellepereira2328]

Great job, love the color.

[@ivylane-home]

Me too! I’m glad you like it. 😊🙌🏼

[@tamioconnell8976]

That looks like the set my grandma ,GG, had. It was a medium dark veneer with the same handles. She had the set for years. Then she must have donated or sold them and went for white rattan instead.

[@ivylane-home]

I’ve refinished a desk in the same style and there was beautiful veneer on all the doors. It’s such a timeless style.

[@lisachiboroski9930]

Those are beautiful! I absolutely love that color. I have no idea what that kind of furniture sells for, but the way you repaired and painted, they look perfect to me. Top price! I love your videos Lisa, always something to learn. I need to become more proficient in drawer repairs. 🤦‍♀️. ❤❤❤

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks Lisa! I love the color too! I hope I find the right buyer. It’s a very popular color in the design world, so we’ll see. 🤞🏼 I hate drawer repairs 😑

Yes! great job!!

Thank you, Lori! 😊

@@nancymcclain2533 right?! It’s so good!

[@Viatrix1854]

Frankly, anything would have been an improvement on that hot pink! Having said that, you did a great job, as ever, and these are now in the fit into any home category. Well done. 👍

[@ivylane-home]

For sure! It’s still a little risky color, but if they don’t sell I can always paint them black 🖤😅

[@laurieboughfman5727]

As much as I like pink, your finish was way better! When I let my imagination go and I think about what goes into the landfill in our county, let alone the entire planet, I shudder! Thanks for making furniture useful and beautiful again! $400 /pair?

[@ivylane-home]

I wonder about all the IKEA furniture in 20 years. 🫣 Thanks, Laurie! I listed them for $450. We’ll see 🤞🏼

[@ellenwitko3734]

What a horrible name for a paint color, lol. I guess sometimes a bit of humor goes a long way. They are gorgeous. I think they will go well with Pantone's color of the year. I appreciate how you show us all the hard parts and the (what must be) aggravation! Thanks again for another wonderful video. Happy Holidays!

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks, Ellen! I was thinking the same thing about the Mocha Mousse. 😊🙌🏼

[@kayhenry6293]

Great job! I can’t believe they priced them at $80.

[@ivylane-home]

Right?! My friend said I should have gotten them for free. If I had taken the time to really look them over, I’m not sure I would have bought them. Oh well, lesson learned 😬

[@christhompson3655]

Color isn’t my favorite but I think you did an excellent job.

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks!!😊🙌🏼

[@CrazyCatLady1968]

Hey Lisa! Awesome save of the nightstands & having that foresight on the repairs for someone down the road. Thanks for the pro tip on the drawer liner! I always screw stuff like that up lol I’m not sure what your market is like but I think $500 for the pair is fair. I have my Poppy’s dresser that is now really old & in need of some love. It thankfully is physically sound - its exterior just really looks its age. I’m going to guess it to be from the tail end of the Art Deco era. I want to breathe new life into it & I want to be the one to do it, but I haven’t refinished furniture since the one desk I did as a 4H project when Shep was a pup & I tend to believe KZbin makes me an expert 🫣 This piece has no monetary value but is priceless to me. Do you have any thoughts on how I can get past my “perfection freeze” & get to doing, instead of waiting for the exact right idea to hit?

[@ivylane-home]

Ha! I tend to be over confident and just dive in. 😅 Seriously though, just start. Refinishing is just a series of steps and you will eventually finish if you just keep going even if you have to pivot. You got this 👊

[@CrazyCatLady1968]

@ Thanks Lisa! Have the Happiest of Holidays!

[@epugli]

[@phyl5502]

For me the hot pink wasnt the deal breaker. When u were trying to fit the drawer slide. That oricess made my stomach tighten up. That is the point i want to rat a piece of chocolate, cover my head w/ a blanket and whimper 'why did i ever start this?'

[@ivylane-home]

Oh gosh, same! It’s always the dreaded part for me. When I pulled out the drawer and realized the slide was missing - not happy. 😢🤦‍♀️😵‍💫😐

[@deborahmiller3126]

Are these partical board?

[@ivylane-home]

Sadly, yes. There are some solid wood components, but mostly veneer over particle board.

[@lindabunce5133]

Im thinking....some furniture does need to be sent to the landfill. But then you made them reusable again!

[@ivylane-home]

I had been moments of doubts, but I was pleased with the final results. Thanks, Linda!

[@dorothypuntarich784]

❤❤

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks, Dorothy!! ☺️🙌🏼

[@cookiepfeffer8196]

Personally the color wasn't my favorite. I think all the accent choices were excellent! They really did turn out lovely 💖💖💖

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks so much! 😊 We’ll see if it sells. I figure I can always paint them black if not 😅

[@WabiSabi1959]

My parents had high quality, not partical board, campaign nightstands that looked like those in the early '70s. I like your refinishing but wouldn't have painted the hardware. The backplate was meant to be a contrast. Cleaning was all it needed. Overall, great job!

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks! 😊

[@deborahmiller3126]

Missing parts... Water damage.... Ridiculous pink. I would have picked them up for free maybe.

[@ivylane-home]

My friend said the same. 😬 I’m such a sucker for this style and should have looked them over better. 🫣

[@nosoymoneditadeoro3019]

Why do not put stripper or remover ?

[@ivylane-home]

I tried, but the substrate was in such poor shape it wasn’t worth refinishing so they got a fabulous paint job 😊🙌🏼

[@murlthomas2243]

I like the dead salmon, but not the name.

[@ivylane-home]

It’s an awful name, but I guess people remember it. 😊🙌🏼

[@pasboston4412]

I can't believe she charged $80 for nightstands in such bad shape, i.e. missing parts, veneer, the overspray and color mess she made,

[@ivylane-home]

Right?! My friend said I should have gotten them for free 😬 I’m such a sucker for this style and way over optimistic 😑

[@Topcat115]

I would prefer if you removed the paint and not repainted it.

[@ivylane-home]

Oh, me too! It was just too far gone. 🫠

[@opalsirius8484]

No. Not this project. I pity whoever pays for these side tables. You allowed to be scammed paying $80 dollars in the first place (I guess a charitable action to support a fellow furniture flipper) If I bought these tables only to find out where they started off (not the color, the water damage!) I would feel totally cat fished Sometimes we really have to not let ourselves get carried away with flip projects Possibly good candidate to donate to someone starting out that needs furniture for their home and has no means to buy it

[@ivylane-home]

This was a rescue and not a profitable flip. The buyer loved them and they got a good price on them too. 😊🙌🏼

[@ameliareaganwright2758]

You go Girl!!! Personally, I don’t think this project was worth your time. It just wasn’t worth it. Plus, I HATE contact paper to line drawers. Use non-stick wallpaper instead. BTW…Use “farther” rather than “further.” “Farther” is about distance, and “further” isn’t about physical distance. Yes! This is coming from an English teacher. LOL!!!

[@ivylane-home]

You’re right, it wasn’t worth my time. I’m such a sucker for this style, but I should have walked away from it. 😬 This is peel and stick wallpaper and it is easily removed. Yes ma’am! 🫡
