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

[@foos.998]

Love that there’s no music. Just the sounds of woodworking. Beautiful job.

[@Restorology]

Thank you very much!

[@eattherich9215]

While it is true that you can never have too many clamps, bricks are quite handy, too. 😂 The end result is spectacular.

[@Restorology]

Thanks! I really appreciate that! ✌🏽

[@1953lili]

Those legs are genius! The inlaid detail is a definite plus......might I say you work your butt off to turn this diamond in the rough into a sparkling gem! Hats off my man!

[@Restorology]

Thank you. It is one of my favorite pieces now!

[@shirleytaylor1272]

What can I say? This is so beautiful - Love the legs and pulls. What a great job you did on it. Anyone would be so happy to have this in their home. Love, Love, Love it!

[@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!

[@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. 🌻

[@crt1975]

Absolutely beautiful! I have a childhood chest in my garage that my Mother “antiqued” yellow in the 1970’s. I have just been inspired by you Matt ❤.

[@Restorology]

Thanks for the great feedback and good luck with your project if you take it on!!

[@maeverobertson1108]

Don't change a thing. It really demonstrates your talents in design and execution. I believe that is one of the nicest pieces of furniture I've seen in this contest, and I've watched almost all of them. I think I have one left.

@@GabbyPaynter Thank you very much and welcome to the channel!! I am very happy that you are here. 🌻

[@CrabOfDoom]

Love very much that you get to keep using your childhood dresser as an adult, and going by the how stuck the drawers were, using it at all for the first time in a very long while. Also glad you added to your signature, instead of removing the old one.

[@Restorology]

Hi. Thanks! This sat in storage for over 30 years in the heat and cold. I wasn't surprised to see the drawers swelled shut. Didn't take much to get them back in working order though so all is well!

[@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]

[@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!

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! ❤😊👍🧑‍🔧🐱🐶🐕🐈‍⬛

@@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.😊

[@loismaddux4800]

A couple of times I thought you’d lost your mind until I saw where you were going! Brilliant. Amazing transformation!! Such a gift to watch! I loved the trained going by and them coming back in the other direction! I also liked your reading a book while sanding forever! Talented craftsmanship!

[@Restorology]

Thanks so much! 😊 I am very happy that you enjoyed watching this. 🌻

[@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! 🐱

[@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!

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.

[@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!!
