We need someone, or several someones, like you in every town. Could you imagine how many pieces of furniture could be salvaged before they hit the landfill, and be given a glorious new life? Amazing! Thank you for your incredible work!

[@Flippingdrawers]

That's very kind. Thank you !

[@johnnytungsong8719]

Believe it or not but I have an identical (as far as I can tell) set of drawers here in England, up at my allotment! I will definitely move them down to my house ASAP, in order to refurbish them in an unusual style!

[@melgraner175]

Beautiful work but your idea is not viable/practical!

[@mac.macchiato]

top part is just mesmerizing! it's like a damascus.

[@rainbowsandlove]

I mean, sure, but what about all those chemicals used to strip the paint, and the non-recyclable cling film used to wrap it while it dissolved the paint?!

[@julibugable]

When you sprayed the dresser black I was disappointed because I thought the wood grain was so pretty, but I have to say, the end result is fantastic.

[@DarkwingSnark]

Honestly? The industrial looking wheels were the perfect touch. It gives the piece so much character, and makes it stand out against other dressers.

[@Flippingdrawers]

That's very kind. thank you

[@maeverobertson1108]

You don't restore furniture so much as you romance it into becoming its best self.

[@cassbhoy]

The swirling effect on the top of the chest of drawers reminded me of damascus that you'd see on a samurai sword.

[@catherinerakich3291]

Wow !! ... who would have ever guessed ... that hidden underneath all those thoughtless layers of paint ... there was a beautiful patterned timber !! ... love love loved ! the top of this piece !!! .. thank you for your vlog !!! ... she's definitely reclaimed her youthful beauty !!!! .. 😍

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you so much 😀 glad you enjoyed it

[@julieannquintana5691]

The grain of the wood on the top was incredibly pretty. Kudos to keeping it natural.

[@dshey6802]

I've never seen plywood look so beautiful. Forget about paint. Your processes yield much more beauty to a rehabilitated piece of furniture.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 🙏

[@shellbellexx3]

A chemical peel, Botox and fillers, new cut & color, a new outfit with eye-catching accessories and a new set of gilded shoes makes for one gorgeous lady!! So much work and attention to detail went into this, how could anyone not fall in love with “her”? Absolutely stunning transformation! 👏🏻👏🏻😍

[@Flippingdrawers]

lol thank you

[@lisaguthridge4640]

I think you made this “old lady” look better than she ever looked originally. ❤

I love he saying: “when I found this poor thing”… U made a great job!

[@kimzimmerman2492]

Love watching how carefully each piece you work on gets fully transformed into something I wish I had in my home! Simply the best! Love that you explain what you are doing and why and love that you pay attention to refinishing everything from the top, front, inside the drawers if that’s what you are working on, and the back. You touch it all and it shows in the finished product it’s wonderful!

[@judithburke1539]

You saved her!!!!! You made her young again!!! Bravo!!!

[@jojohnson740]

I too like to take old pieces and made them beautiful. I do it so that way I can learn to fix it, and to challenge myself. Good job, it's beautiful 😊

[@Flippingdrawers]

Love that!

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

Very few things can beat the satisfaction of a job well done. I rewatched this because I couldn’t remember what the finished project looked like. I’m very impressed with the final reveal! The brass is gorgeous, and the revealed wood grain is awesome. The casters are the perfect final touch.

[@victoriahanke5086]

You are not only a great refurbished and carpenter, but you have a gentile soul and the way you weave a story about the item is enchanting. I appreciate you. You are a love,y human! 🥰✨🙏🕊♥️

[@vm5610]

That burning technique is amazing! Really enhanced the grain of the wood. End result is stunning!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you Virginia☺️ much appreciated

[@patriciahuggins6577]

I believe that your method of always going the extra mile and not taking the easy/quicker way through each step is why your pieces result in a much superior product.😊

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 🙏

[@thebookwyrmslair6757]

Man, I never knew plywood could have such a pretty grain! It's like a topographical map of a mountain chain!

[@patriciacrozier7624]

SUCH A PROFESSIONAL, you aced it!❤

[@PattySoutherland]

Watched your videos for a long time and enjoy them very much. I love your dry sense of humor and the neighbors friendly cats. You are very talented. Would love to have you for a neighbor.

[@Flippingdrawers]

That’s very kind. Thank you 😊

[@sharonharker9942]

Who would have guessed that plywood would have such character given the right finish. Gorgeous facelift for this grand dame.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 😊

[@ReconstructingEmily]

It is crazy what removing an old finish and sanding for one whole eternity can do to just bring a piece back to life. Love that top! Nice work my friend!

[@Flippingdrawers]

It is indeed ☺️ thank you. Loved your video too👌

[@kellilandry2825]

Your attention to detail is incredible! You brought her back from the brink. Beautiful! 🤩

[@rcd5k7]

Your patience and care with each piece is so inspiring!

[@Flippingdrawers]

🥰

[@gracedoughty681]

Your transformations always make me smile.

[@leanadomsan]

I loved how the drawers looked with the natural wood color before you painted them. It made this old lady pop!!!

[@Flippingdrawers]

I didn’t paint them

[@leanadomsan]

@@Flippingdrawers In the minute 14:00 you see the drawers unpainted for 1 second, then you started painting them all dark.

[@Flippingdrawers]

@@leanadomsan stain is not paint.

[@leanadomsan]

@@Flippingdrawers Okay, but the drawers looked much better without the stain.

[@sanchoshima]

What an awesome skill to be taught to youth who must do community service because they're caught up in the system over petty crimes.

[@anitamorales1506]

A lot of work, with a wonderful result! You are the first person to treat her kindly in a long while. Thank you for sharing.

[@Flippingdrawers]

My pleasure 😇

[@jadwigagorgon9212]

Mix old Japanese work with modern slick idea. Marvelous. Love it. I can watch your videos every day. You are genius.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Awesome! Thank you!

This old lady has has a complete body redo! And now she is on her second and best life! God bless you!

[@m.5748]

WOW! 🎉 You Completely Re-made this "old lady dresser" into a New, Chic, Stylish Dresser! Wonderful Craftsmanship, and you have a Lot of Talent and Patience! We Enjoyed this Video Very Much! Thankyou! 🙂

[@karanseraph4726]

I like the choice of the charring for this one. The plywood on top had a crazy grain pattern that reminded me vaguely of Damascus steel and I think the dark finish did allow that to show while covering some of the wear.

[@Flippingdrawers]

That is exactly right ! Thank you

[@1975dlawson]

Love the end result. That was a lot of paint! I appreciate seeing pieces being rescued from being thrown away!!

[@againstthegrain147]

Rescued from paint! 😂

[@debsmith2269]

Love the castors and I particularly love the finish on the top; it really accentuates the unusual grain. She looks great after her face lift.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you Deb ;-)

[@notquitechaos6705]

the wood grain looks so cool!

[@nancyanneberg403]

I am that old lady. And hope to transform myself as well as the furniture I do but since you do it better,I will work on furniture using your ideas.... And with the same hard work on myself ,with all that encouragement to see good results

[@leahlemieux6410]

You never disappoint - I always start your videos thinking “ how can he save that?” , and by the end, I’m blown away at how good they look! Great job!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Awesome 🤩 thanks

[@kclarke2971]

Yesterday I saw a dresser in the dumpster. I was alone and could not pull it out. My apartment has 12 units in one house, 12 in the next house, 2 in the next and the last one has 3. All houses in a row. I hate that folks don't at least leave the furniture outside the dumpster. Or at least post a free ad on CraigsList under free items. I hate the throwaway society Thanks for this presentation. I love your patience and care for the "old lady"

[@lynnrussell1630]

Wish this old lady could look as good! Ha!

[@seaclass]

It was truly interesting to watch the transformation of the old dresser. You have wonderful tools and most importantly, you know how to use them!! I was hoping to see how you fitted the drawers. They must have needed new guides or side sliders. They were certainly sticking when you removed them. But thanks for all you did show!!!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you. All I did was sanded the sides of the drawers and applied some wax.

[@lisafinch5823]

What an incredible makeover! Absolutely stunning. Thanks for giving an old lady a new life! I really love the grain on the top of that dresser. So funky and pretty!

[@selenalethbridge-carr9664]

Love doing up discarded furniture, far better than sending to landfill! Well done!

[@lindathompson3982]

I LOVE this beautiful lady and I'm so glad it was you who felt her need to be saved; and decided to rescue her! 😊 She's simply lovely! Many thanks & just know that there is a real admiration for you, & your artistry.

[@Nightbrazen]

The grain on top looks gorgeous it looks like a topographical map! Definitely worth stopping for. Amazing job!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thanks 😊

[@timothyarchie320]

Your restorations always look remarkable, but this transformation was incredible!!!

[@ashleeolson7325]

I love that you don't rely on painting every peice that you save. You really put the hard work and time into each one which makes them that much more amazing!

The finish on the top is extraordinary!!!! I am completely blown away!

[@lidiaforgacs3169]

Amazing! You have an incredible talent for this! I can see how passionate you are by your patience and great care. This old lady is now restored and beautiful thanks to you!

[@zonyasvintage7859]

That was very fulfilling! To see all wood surfaces of that old dresser restored renewed and nourished. Completely free! I’ve never seen a video like that highlighting the small details. The final industrial wheels were spot on!

I love to watch you work your magic! You have awesome "toys" (tools) to help you bring life into old worn out furniture, but it is your love of wood and the making of furniture that makes you the most awesome at what you do! Thank you for bring back the art of wood work! ❤

[@Flippingdrawers]

It’s my pleasure 😇

[@suitov]

The air nozzle is my favourite 'toy'. So useful when you produce a lot of sawdust.

[@Flippingdrawers]

@@suitov it really is 😉

[@lauriehuber3040]

I have never seen plywood (top surface) with so much design in it. I was sad to see it go black, but still beautiful!

[@Flippingdrawers]

There wasn’t much choice as you saw yourself…

[@anniewardlow9297]

Once again, it's your attention to detail that sets you & a couple of other YT furniture restorers apart. I've seen others totally skip a step that you went back & worked on 2-3 times. Or, until it was perfect or darn close to it! Thanks again for the awesome content & the hilarious commentary that goes along with it. Ie: "This is slightly discusting but, I think you guys like this. So, you're welcome"! When stripping the paint from the side of the dresser. Boy do you know your audience or what? Stay safe, happy & healthy my friend! 👍

Ha ha ha thank you so much ☺️ glad you enjoyed it

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you ;-)

[@skeltonjuanita6515]

Brilliant!!! Such a different piece now with character and style…just love it!!! I can see why you get so much satisfaction…you are the equivalent of the greatest cosmetic surgeon!!!! Now she can compete with the other old dames and go dancing!…lol! All the references to the good old Lady was heart warming…but…. I do try to avoid seeing myself as a WIDE DRESSER being saved from either the toxic waste dump or landfill. I think “worm holes” are especially defeating funereal landscape for my future!!! I have a vivid imagination and a cartoon brain but don’t let that stop you from your poetic rhapsodizing about aging and regenerating… very inspirational…not!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Ha ha ha that’s hilarious you really have great imagination

[@janettesinclair6279]

Superb transformation! The brass accents against the black just lift the cabinet to another level.

Hi guys. I apologise for the minor issue with the bit of audio around the 1st minute. I have had a lot of trouble with KZbin and their copyrights claim. At this point I can't do much about it as the video is already public and the online editor is absolute rubbish.

[@Flippingdrawers]

[@ajchatting]

Thank you, I really enjoyed that! I wonder, as you were going to use the burning technique, whether you considered a heat gun and scraper to remove the paint?

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thanks Alan, yes I did, actually used it for a moment. The stripper was mainly because thought it would be lead paint and also because I don’t use it often and people like to watch it 😂

[@pmk5238]

Love watching your videos makes me want to refinish a few pieces I have, thank you! You’re very talented ❤

[@wendajones9040]

I love that you restore the wood where possible and avoid painting. I think a lot of furniture has had its charm taken away by painting it.

Wow, amazing how this worked out 👏🏻👏🏻 Your woodwork is really impressive! Unfortunately, I just discovered your channel today and I'm happier about it. I think your attention to details is absolutely great. I've always done it that way in my craft. It is often precisely these "little things" that make the difference and are worth it! ✨ You've acquired great techniques by yourself by "learning by doing", that's really cool. And you're showing those little tips here and there, what often can be super helpful. 🙌🏻 I'm honestly interested what kind of basic equipment you've bought to start working on wonderful aging pieces. Can you say roughly what the tools have cost you? It would really help me. Thank you 🤗 I like your vids a lot. Picture and sound are great and your explanations of the individual steps really good too! 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for sharing with us! 🤗

[@clairo1]

I'd also love to see @FlippingDrawers' suggested bare minimum toolset.

[@lozinozz7567]
