Love, love, love this French piece. Fabulous. That dresser is blowing kisses at you for saving it so elegantly. The colors, every detail, so dreamy and romantic. Your son is adorable too.

The whole look is soft and has a romantic flavor to it. The color rose and gold show well, and I am not usually a pink person. Well done and I keep thinking I will try something like this one day, (not necessarily in those colors).

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you so much! I’m not usually a pink person either! But I really did love this one. And yeah, this would be lovely in many other colors.

Such a cool technique. And so beautiful. I have to admit, it is romantic. Not as lovely and romantic as my Craftsman mechanic's tool set, or my Grizzly Table Saw, but romantic just the same. Great job as usual.

That WAS so great! Had no idea you could knock off the gunk from my sanding pads ! Great tip💕 Love this baby Bombay - you surprised me with the rose gilding wax, but it sure works🤩

[@elegantupgrades]

Yes! You can only do it a few times per disc, though. Still, better than just tossing them right away. I surprised myself 😂 But I’m glad I went with my gut.

[@bethburton1314]

I love the way this one came out

[@elegantupgrades]

Thank you, Beth! I do, too!

[@lonnarheaj]

BTW: there are gum rubber blocks that are made to clean off sand paper and sanding film; they work incredibly well and can quickly refresh clogged sand paper. The rubber blocks are self-sacrificing and basically act like a giant eraser - and there usually inexpensive.

[@elegantupgrades]

Ooo, I’m intrigued by this! Thanks for sharing.

It's a reverse bombe (pronounced like Bombay) small chest, but not very old. I had the longer 2 drawer version (purchased new in the mid-90's) until I downsized from a house to a condo. Interesting makeover.

Yeah, I just found a set of them with a long dresser and a beautiful armoire. I thought about scooping them up, but my shop isn’t large enough for how huge they are.

Beee-u-teee-ful. Now your girl has Qs. Can you talk to us about your customers? Are you doing these pieces custom for someone, or using your whim and creativity and then selling them on Marketplace? Do you have a space at a vintage market? Let us know where you're deploying these lovelies. And if I can really be nosy, I'd like to know about your profits from a piece like this. But you can keep your secrets and I'll still love you and your channel. :-)

[@elegantupgrades]

I REALLY hate custom work. If I do a custom piece it’s with the understanding that the client has almost no say in what happens to it 😂. It’s too stressful for me otherwise. So most of my pieces are just me having fun with things that I like. I started selling on marketplace, but if I’m being honest, am not a huge fan of it anymore. My area is amazing in that I get most of my items for free or next to nothing, but with that comes the downside of having to sell things for less as well. I don’t sell out of a store at all, even my favorite furniture store here sells their items for less than I do in marketplace and those people have to keep their booths full and pay a booth rent. I’ve been really enjoying Etsy at the moment, but I think eventually I’d prefer just creating my own website and selling from there. I do want to do a video about all this in the future- you’re not the only one who has expressed interest, but I want to make sure I’m giving the most information I can and I don’t think I’m there yet.

[@kimaoyama9594]

@@elegantupgrades That's great info. I think your own website would be amazing. Even if it was just a FB page to get started would probably be great. Keep doing great things. We all benefit from you bringing your best expressions of yourself to the world.
