Saving Damaged Antique Furniture | Did I Ruin This????

[@kitfranzman4860]

We were waiting for you. People don't realize paint and primer does preserve wood. When a piece is so banged up it deserves a refresh. The collendar is a genius idea! Very pretty.

[@SabsRehabs]

So true, and Thank you!

[@pamsheets632]

So good to see you again! Love your videos! Wow, what an amazing awesome job! The decoupage paper and the blended paint absolutely brought this one back to life! Gorgeous stunning job! 😊❤

[@SabsRehabs]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@maureenb.8517]

Beautiful! Any time you can give an old tired piece of furniture a new life it’s a win. Doesn’t matter to me if it is painted. As long as it has a chance to live on I am satisfied. You always do such lovely work!

[@SabsRehabs]

Thank you ❤️

[@anniewardlow9297]

Lovely job, Sabrina! 👍 When you started stippling I thought, "hmmm... I don't know about that." It turned out absolutely stunning. That dark wax really changes the look of a piece and gives it such a rich look. Thanks, it was great to see you again. I hope that you're getting settled nicely in the new place. Take care, 🙏🤟

Thank you! 🤗

[@annabellachan1579]

So pretty! I love when you use decoupage paper. No gilding wax? Lol!

[@SabsRehabs]

Right?! I thought about the wilding wax and decided against it

[@sherrybowers8329]

Beautiful! Blending scares me. I need to practice on something small I guess. Great video 😊

[@SabsRehabs]

You can do it!

[@roswithakeil7619]

❤ Thx for this video.

[@SabsRehabs]

You're welcome 😊

[@Restorology]

Great project. Were you able to find any maker's mark anywhere on the piece? I have a piece so very similar to this one in many ways but I have no idea of the maker. I recently rehashed it into a mid-century modern styled piece that you can see on my channel but I thought at the time that it was a 50s or 60s department store piece based on the construction. Yours is very similar both in construction and design. I even had the same dual-layered thick veneer. I've owned it since the 70s.

[@SabsRehabs]

I didn't see a manufacturer name. Just walnut stamped on the back

[@Restorology]

@@SabsRehabs Cool thanks!

[@Christin5554]

I can't believe someone sold this piece of junk. You made a beautiful piece of furniture out of it, I love it. Sabrina I hope you are staying safe!

[@SabsRehabs]

Thank you so much!

[@cferguson3368]

The sock dust collector is wonderful. By using shellac, you also used a base that would allow someone to return it to "original" finish. Just a note to think about, not a criticism...removing a veneer from the types of wood typically under veneer on mass production pieces may cause the wood to split after a period of time. It is solid wood, but it may be a lower quality of wood. If so, the veneer gave the wood a stabilty it no longer has. Replacing the veneer would have given the base wood that stability again...if low quality. However, time will tell if there is a problem.

[@SabsRehabs]

Thank you for the info! I will definitely consider that next time!

[@renaissancemom817]

Very nice!

[@lydiakinnaman3679]

Beautiful.

Thank you!

People who get all precious about painting wood are not out here rescuing all the thousands of pieces destined for the dump. Refinishing furniture is a business & if natural wood sells - then that that is what happens. But at the moment, painted wood is in fashion & THAT is what sells (& keeps these darlings out of the dump!) A few years ago everyone wanted the distressed "farmhouse" look, then it went to single bold color with gold hardware. At the moment, blended colors, decoupage & transfers are "it" - which I love as they are much more fun than single colors to do - so that is what happens. Better a gorgeous paint job that can be sanded later to restore to wood if that's what someone wants than lose these pieces altogether.

[@SabsRehabs]

I agree ❤️

[@rosagray9364]

I love your work and I like the fact that you don’t let the nasty comments that people are leaving about your clothes and tattoos bother you!! But I have a question. Did you have to take art classes to come up with designs and textures and colors? I’m 63 years old and I’m looking to retire soon from childcare which I’ve done for almost 20 years. And was wanting to do refurbished furniture and also craft my own furniture! I’m looking to supplement my income after I retire! I watch a lot of women that do this for a living on KZbin and they’re all very crafty and their colors and designs are like wow I would never think of anything like that. That’s why I wonder if you all took art classes before you got into doing this refurbishing Business??

[@melissapoole8580]

**edit** I LOVE THIS FLIP!!!! Still watching...But had to say, off to buy a mini chain saw. I had no idea these existed.

[@SabsRehabs]

Right?! Mini chainsaws are fabulous!

[@martinebangs6520]

Hi Sabrina, this really is a story of a ugly duckling to swan, you did a great job, I love it...Any news on your property ?...Take care...cheers !!! 🍁 🍁

[@SabsRehabs]

Thank you! We have a driveway and electricity to the property! We get the well dug next month and then our house should be ready sometime in July. It's been a long journey but finally a light at the end of the tunnel!

[@renaissancemom817]

Isn’t the chainsaw a bit of an imprecise cutting tool for something as important as leveling a piece of furniture?

[@SabsRehabs]

Turned out just fine for me

[@diysbydar]

Wow, that was a really bad piece! You really did an awesome job on bringing it back to life. Yeah, when you live out in the country the delivery man starts to see you at least on a weekly basis!

[@SabsRehabs]

Thank you! And yes, ordering online and just having stuff delivered is such a convenience now!

[@phylliscrawley9454]

Your little gift should be there today. Enjoy!❤

[@phylliscrawley9454]

Please Sabrina, I would like for you to buy a new window for your new house. A good one to keep the OK dust out.

[@SabsRehabs]

Yes! Thank you! I received it the other day! You are so kind!

[@grzegorzstankowski2363]

it's called, seriously screwed up, I suggest using an impact drill, but the piece of furniture can stand in the hen house.

[@SabsRehabs]

Use an impact drill for which part?

[@MrsJax304]

Just checking in on you? I hope you are well

[@SabsRehabs]

Yes, I am! Getting settled into the new house. I have my new workshop all set up, so I am hoping to have a new video out next weekend!

[@MrsJax304]

@@SabsRehabs how exciting. Looking forward to it

[@kelleyhawk6595]

It turned out very pretty! I just never use caulk on wood furniture because of different environments and caulk mildews and gets gummy.

[@nooncactus]

You could have fooled me that blending paint colors isn’t a strong suit. This piece is beautifully blended. It’s a great save and I see why it’s in your top 10 favorites. 👍🏼🩵

[@SabsRehabs]

Thank you! I took art in high school, but that is it. I have a lot of artists in my family, so I have always been around it. Sometimes, I find fun prints I want to use on pieces, but typically, the furniture piece just "shows" me what it wants to be. I say go for it and experiment. There are very few mistakes that aren't fixable. If you paint a color and don't like it, just paint over it with something new. Play with colors and patterns and you will find the ones that speak to your heart.
