REIMAGINING a MID-CENTURY MODERN Marvel from my CHILDHOOD Dresser | RESTORATION

[@jeanclaudeangri1108]

Leave it as is. You did a beautiful job. Keep this piece as a legacy to your mother. Your childhood self would be very impressed.

I think that what makes me smile most, besides seeing alllll of my favorites in one place enjoying a little friendly competition... is the many MANY ways everyone weighs down their glue. LOL Bricks, wood, dumb bells, 987 clamps, pieces from other projects... just make me laugh! So many great pieces!

Okaaaaay Matt this was labor intensive fo sho. I love the way you presented it. Don’t change a thing. I graduated in ‘83 lol. So far I’ve watched Jay, David, Dasher and ATRestoration all this afternoon. Great way to enjoy the Sunday. Love all the dogs and kitty that visit you

[@kimderrick7796]

So far I've watched all but 4 of the restorations. I've enjoyed each one. Each video has something special. I agree with @jodidavis6595. It's been a great way to spend Sunday afternoon and evening. Your work is superb! The cat and dog must be quality control! 😂 But what is wrong with the cat's forepaw. He/She is limping. I hope it's something that will get better soon! Again, AMAZING WORK! ❤😊👍🧑‍🔧🐱🐶🐕🐈‍⬛

Yeah this one took a minute to get finished. Thanks for the great comment. I am happy that you are getting a chance to check out all of the great creators that took part in this challenge. There are some super creative folks here. See you in the next one!

[@Restorology]

@@kimderrick7796 The cat is okay. He was attacked by something over 10 years ago when he was a kitten but other than a limp and being a pain in the butt sometimes, he is okay.

[@UsernamesForDummies]

I was just thinking to myself:”Is it really a proper restoration, if there are no cats or dogs milling about somewhere?” I guess not.😊

[@dshey6802]

Leave the inlay as is. I had no idea what your vision was. What a surprise after all that white paint removal. The veneer you chose has a beautiful pattern. The legs you made are so graceful and elegant. I love the hardware too. All in all it's a fantastic transformation.

[@Restorology]

That is so very kind of you to write. Thank you!

[@mollybrislin617]

What a labor of love: taking a childhood piece and re-imagining it. So much craftsmanship went into this. My favorite part: when you painted the year in matching big numbers in the back!! Yes!!

[@Restorology]

Thanks!! A lot of people didn't like that part. Thought I should have sanded the back to look new.

[@judithburke1539]

That would have erased it's history. Maybe there's a way to put the history of the piece somewhere inside of this chest for future reference to it's history.

[@Restorology]

@@judithburke1539 I love it the way it is. I probably won't be making any further changes!

[@mariaroldan4200]

Wow! I came from another “challenge” channel. I have watched 4, you and Flipping Drawers are head to head. Your is more labor intensive than any, so far! Great job you are all inspirations!

[@Restorology]

Hey. Thanks for watching everyone's projects. We all worked really hard to bring the viewers this challenge. I am super envious of Flipping Drawers new desk. I don't think that I would have had the vision to bring that one to life. 🌻

[@hollyingraham3980]

My favorite things about this chest of drawers is the band at the bottom, the new legs, and the new pulls. That the band was a secret all this time is so intriguing. Keep it this way!

[@Restorology]

I was super surprised to find it here. Never knew about it. Looks like it is staying as is! Thanks!!

[@flipitnation]

WOW!! That was a mammoth amount of labour, effort and talent. I really enjoyed watching this, you are very good at telling a story without saying anything. This dresser got an insane makeover and the fact that it was from your childhood gave it a really nice personal touch. I love that you wrote the current year on it, perfect ending. Congratulations on such an awesome result.

[@Restorology]

Thanks Cole! I appreciate the great feedback. I debated about adding the current year on the back but I am glad I did it. I can't paint worth a crap so it looks like 12 year old me did that one too. I'll be heading over to your channel shortly to check out your entry in the Challenge!! See you in the next one! 🍻

[@gydaanderson332]

I laughed out loud when you were struggling to get the drawers out at the beginning. No one would have blamed you if you hauled the dresser out to the curb mid-Project but you persevered and it turned out wonderful. I think the dresser is perfect as is. Great transformation.

Thanks! I believe that most people agree with you so far so it might be staying as is.

[@lindam4006]

Wow! Definitely a labor of love. That dresser found great fortune when it found your mom & you. There are so many brilliant projects in this challenge. For your determination, perserverance, & redesign of a piece that most would have trashed or salvaged, I'd have to give you the blue ribbon. Its not my favorite piece, but your effort showcases the best of values in the current furniture rehab movement.

[@Restorology]

That is very kind of you to write. Thank you for the thoughtful message!

[@chrisirwin9612]

I don't see another thing to do here. It turned out just beautiful! You did far more work than I would even imagine, its gorgeous!

[@Restorology]

Thanks so much 😊

[@sylviapesek5193]

Absolutely exquisite! Add me to the list of those who are heartily in favor of leaving the unique detailing "as is". There are a lot of restoration artists, as you know, and those in this challenge are among the best of the best. I've noticed that so many are also animal lovers, and I'm not at all surprised, because those who have the vision to see the potential beauty in what would, to other eyes, just appear to be hopeless wrecks, also have the gift of recognizing the beauty in animals. It's the little things that really reveal the individual personalities of those who take their craft to such a high level, and it's so rewarding to notice things such as t-shirts (big thumbs up, by the way, and thanks so much for being a St. Jude's volunteer!) that give clues about the person we're watching do this magic. All that remains now is to voice my concern for that little black and white kitty with the bum leg. 🐱And of course, a big thumbs-up for the finishing touch on the back! 👍 Terrific job all 'round.

[@Restorology]

Thank you very much for the well thought out message. I am so happy to know your feelings on this video. The kitty is fine. He has a very old injury that causes him to limp forever but there is no pain. He gets around just fine. Thanks for asking! 🐱

[@KilgoreTrout4343]

What a transformation! Leave the band at the bottom but I suggest staining the light strip at the top and bottom the same cherry as the rest of the piece. The long horizontal drawer pulls work really well, and although I like the circular pulls at the top their shape only references the shape of the legs. I think a shorter version of the big pulls would work better. Even better yet would be ones that are square that echo the squares in the bottom band. Nonetheless, you've done a remarkably successful alteration of 60s dresser and brought it into the 21st Century.

[@Restorology]

Thank you for the well thought out feedback!! I actually considered shorter versions of the straight pulls but decided on adding some contrast. I am glad I did. Thanks!!
