Redecorating, Cleaning & Antique Furniture Makeovers! Spring Clean my 1800s Master Bedroom with me!

[@oldmaplehome]

I wanted to give you all a little glimpse at what it's like to deep clean a historic victorian home! I am certain old homes collect way more dust than newer builds 😄! What did you think of the antique furniture refreshes?

[@robinnieto2703]

A suggestion for your new vintage dresser, move the top drawer pulls to the middle drawer and get new round knobs for the two top smaller drawers. You will have to fill the holes in and drill a single hole in the middle but it would look nice

[@oldmaplehome]

Hi Robin, I actually did the move the top pulls to the middle drawers and began filling one drawer, but it's not looking so good! I am now trying to come up with an alternative solution :P

Hi Jayne, thank you for all your kind words! You made me chuckle when you described your crush on our woodwork, too cute! Thanks for being here!

[@rachelmccracken1326]

Oh mercy....that antique dresser your mom found you is amazing!!!

[@oldmaplehome]

Isn't it precious?!

[@lorinelson7607]

You must have an old soul to be so young and to know how to decorate such a beautiful old home!

[@oldmaplehome]

I've always been told that since I was a small child ♥️

[@annm6941]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! ❤❤❤

[@sandicrawford6035]

The tape residue could be removed with goo gone. That $20.00 dresser is awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@oldmaplehome]

I may have to try that as well!

[@sandrabotard7687]

That old dresser is so beautiful! I love your house!

Thank you!

[@vickyspiers2835]

What an amazing find! You did a great job “refreshing” that dresser! I’m loving your house & all the improvements you have made. I just discovered your channel & I’m busy watching all your videos, thanks for sharing! Blessings

Hi Vicky, thank you!!

[@debragarrard5859]

Love watching your Chanel every thing is so beautiful

[@oldmaplehome]

Thank you Debra!

[@lorrainehoward2722]

I cannot get over how gorgeous your home is. It makes my heart happy that you haven’t painted all that gorgeous wood trim. That just destroys the authenticity to me. That old dresser is to die for. Can’t believe how pretty it was after you got finished with it. I just love your channel. Keep it coming.

[@oldmaplehome]

Hi Lorraine, thank you so much! The woodwork is the crown jewel of our home, I couldn't paint it!

[@lorrainehoward2722]

@@oldmaplehome So many people do. To me that is what makes them. But of course each to his own I guess, but it just hurts my heart when they do. I didn’t see your question when I commented before. I have often wonder how to get old drawers to work smoothly. Now I know. And I have used Old English for my wood furniture for years. It just brings them back to life.

[@kathyjones9500]

Love, love all your projects. You have such a talent decorating your house. Great video can't wait until the next one❤

[@carolsummerfield5060]

Hi Liz! A suggestion! Take the two top handles off and put them on the second drawer. Then replace the top with knobs or something of your choice! Might have to use wood filler in the holes left on the top drawers.Also live in Michigan born and raised.Love your Home and how you decorate it.

[@oldmaplehome]

Great minds think alike, Linda also suggested that and it's a perfect idea! Thank you!

[@lindacoslet2883]

Just a thought about the drawer pulls on the dresser. You can move the drawer pulls from the top two drawers down to the second drawer then fill in the holes on the top drawers and put knobs on them. Saw that on another makeover and it looked really nice.

[@oldmaplehome]

That's a really good idea, thank you!

[@lildavis7579]

I love your beautiful house,, its gorgeous,, beautifully done, you are very talented xoxo

[@oldmaplehome]

Thank you so much!

Your home is absolutely gorgeous! So beautifully styled!

[@oldmaplehome]

Thank you!

[@lynnespino3418]

I’m so sad 😞 I had a dresser almost like the one you have mine was without the mirror but I got rid of it because the drawer was hard to open and I have a bad back. 💚

[@sandielindemeyer9341]

I cannot believe your mom found that gorgeous antique for $20.00. WOW!

[@oldmaplehome]

I know, she always finds the best stuff!

[@robintranchina6588]

I absolutely love what you did with that dresser! QUESTION What is the vacuum you used? Was the handheld vacuum the same or different vacuum as the stick vacuum? Great video!

[@oldmaplehome]

Hi Robin, thank you! It is a Dyson.

[@rachaelmayer]

Were you able to get the writing off the dresser? My kids wrote on our coffee table with washable marker and it hasn’t come off. I’m curious if you had success.

[@oldmaplehome]

Yes, I did - mostly!

[@rhiannancaraway]

You mentioned that the old tool chest was a baptism gift. Were you recently baptized? It's such a gorgeous old piece of history too ❤️

[@oldmaplehome]

I was baptized last October :)

[@rhiannancaraway]

@@oldmaplehome congratulations! I was in June of 2020. Such a precious experience 💗

[@Flempo27]

Omygoodness I literally just finished chalk painting and waxing that EXACT same chest of drawers last night! Not sure where you are in Michigan but I too am in Michigan and wonder if yours is stamped with any markings on the back? Underneath all the paint it’s birds eye maple, which is ironic since you’re “ Elizabeth’s old maple home . “

[@oldmaplehome]

What a coincidence!! I haven't looked for any markings, I'll have to do that now though!

[@nickituschmann46]

I was wanting to know where you purchased your you're hot that looks like a romanesque romanesque head ? I love it

[@TimeHonoredTreasures]

$20…?!💕

[@foreverandalways3305]

I am glad you don't paint all your old woodwork around the windows and doors. I have an old house too with the original woodwork and staircase and I never painted it. It stands out against white walls beautifully.🌸🐦

[@oldmaplehome]

I love bright and light spaces, but the original woodwork is what gives many old homes their charm and warmth!

[@martyhadley2137]

Magic marker will take the permanent marker off.
