I am a wood person and when I saw the wood that you cleaned and sanded. BEAUTIFUL!!! but then when you painted and glued the covering and paint to the cabinet, I could have cried. Covering that beautiful wood. Now if it had flaws and couldn'e be restored, I understand making something out of it, but wood in it's natural form should have been shown/ Just mt thought. It did look cute but wood is better looking.

To whoever is reading this keep going, you're doing fine! No matter how slow your progress, each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. Be proud of yourself you got this.❤

[@ThriftDiving]

[@RuthiesVlogWorld]

@@ThriftDiving yes 👏🏽👏🏽💕

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

Thanks! I needed that!🐝🤗❤️

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Argh need this. My husband diy the kitchen and learning as he goes.

[@joseapar]

I don't love the pink or floral wallpaper, but i love that you did it! I've always been a huge proponent of personalizing furniture and decor in ways that suite your style. Its your house, fill it with things you love! The methods in this DIY are still quite useful for anyone trying to personalize their own piece of furniture.

[@dawndesu6863]

You taught me so much, today. I've known for a while that there is colored stain, I thought that was crazy. However, I didn't know that there was a grain wax. When you added the paper to the edges, it elevated the piece. I can see myself doing something like that. I can't wait to see the other pink furniture you are planning for your she shed

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you, Dawn!!!

[@DanaConquersBoutique]

The cabinet is gorgeous- well done! I have to admit, I held my breathe when I saw that pink stain, but was happily surprised at the end. I love how you kept the grain visible.

[@shanaproctor100]

I LOVE IT!!!! This could be my favorite project you've ever done.

[@ThriftDiving]

That's great to hear! yay!!!

[@sbffsbrarbrr]

Wow! A true labor of love. I would never have the patience for this but it turned out beautifully for you. Well worth the wait!

[@QueenNanaEva]

What a gorgeous sewing 🧵 cabinet! I LOVE the outcome.

[@vintagesouthernpicks8054]

Me, I loved the wood finish of the oak, but you have given it a gorgeous re-do which I also love, and it appeals to the feminine heart!

[@lindacsmith13]

I love florals and pink so I'm giving it two thumbs up!

[@cherylk8781]

Serena this is definitely my cup of tea as well. Beautiful!😍💖

[@jenniferroland1244]

That is…GORGEOUS ❤❤❤ I’m not much of a pink girl but I do love me some flowers! I love you can still see the wood grain! And the fact it is a sewing cabinet…😍🥰😍

[@docdoctme]

Loved the video and the editing-so professional. The desk is beautiful and bright. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@l.e.bingham6643]

It turned out amazing 🙏🏾💖🥰💯💫

[@Sanosarah]

Oh, she's my cup of tea.

[@anab.7450]

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you, Ana!!

[@sampleworks9432]

What a creative cupboard!!! Love it. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you, Jacqui!

[@Mustlovebooks15]

I really love pink furniture. I’m all about light and bright colors and have quite a bit of pink in my house. This turned out fabulous

[@maryowens9179]

Beautiful sewing table makeover. Turned out great. Thank you for sharing this ❤

[@Caeleinn]

I wish I could find treasure like that at my local thrift stores. I can remember longing for one of those cabinets back in the mid-90's when I worked at a fabric shop.

[@nancyjackson6778]

You are amazing. You're not afraid to tackle any project and you do such great work. Thank you for sharing your talent. 😊

[@luzcruz3355]

This is a beautiful piece. It inspired me to finish painting a wheeled vintage tray table that I thrifted about 5 years ago. I hadn't painted it because I like the wood, but this stain is amazing. Thank you.

[@ThriftDiving]

Yay! Glad to inspire you!! Good luck on your project!

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

Welp… it’s not my thing, but I’m so happy you love it! All that matters is it’s exactly what you want in your sweet little shed🐝🤗❤️

[@candytroutman6977]

Pink and florals are definitely my thing!

[@janmccorison1688]

Thank you for your instruction on stripping, painting, decoupaging, etc. I learned so much watching this video. I'm jealous of your tremendous find and I love that you went pink and bold!

[@froop84]

Do I like this? No I don't! But damn you put a lot of good ideas and knowledge into that thing... and I appreciate that! Thanks for your videos and your love for wood :)

[@nda7154]

I LOVE pink and florals! This is adorable! 👏💕🌸

[@jennah6673]

I bought a sewing cabinet very like yours in 1985 with an Elna Jubilee machine in it. I loved it! The pink with floral gave your cabinet a lovely updated look.

[@darniataylor7749]

This turned out beautifully! 💜

[@L.Spencer]

I like that smoother thing, it looks amazing!

[@Jenny-uo8nc]

I love it. Beautiful pop of color. Goes with your joyful spirit 🙂

[@neetaramesh7512]

Serena! This table looks so beautiful and just so yummy!!!! In agreement with florals and pinks!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@eileenalholinna5310]

Oh, your cabinet turned out so beautiful!! You are so talented!!!! 🥰

[@janevolkert549]

It is so pretty and so bold. Great work!

[@glowyaf]

When I was 18 me and my aunt found a sewing table on the side of the road and I painted it and used it as a desk! I completely forgot about that till I saw this 😂

[@ramonajacobs9402]

I love pink also. This came out beautiful!

[@ThriftDiving]

Pink is amazing! And so fun. Glad you like it as much as I do!!

[@katiebellmichelle]

I absolutely love this 😍 pink is my favorite color

[@HelpMeRhondayeah]

I love it! And I’m all about the pink too! Great job

[@franciscoruiz2890]

“ it’s not everyone’s cup of tea BUT IT IS MY CUP OF TEA “ ❤ I love this quote ✨💯🫶🏾 always be yourself . Above all else 👏🏽👏🏽

[@ThriftDiving]

Yesssss! :) Thank you, Francisco!

[@ReasonsWhy5]

That was a nice transformation, the wood grain was beautiful. I love pink, but I probably would not use it on my sewing cabinet.💕💕💕

[@tigerbambi1845]

Although this work is a bit too cheesy for me, you do an excellent job with really valuable tips. Thanks for that!

[@veronicawalsh1841]

This was so nice and I'm inspired to do my cabinet in that pink color

[@talithawimberly3386]

So, this pink and this floral is not for me. But this technique and the idea I LOVE!!! I have something I want to try this on and I'm excited!

[@drenamurphy9193]

Absolutely gorgeous ❤

[@ThriftDiving]

So glad you like it, Drena!

[@TLC-]

My favorite color is Pink! Love it! Love what u created! Great cabinet too!

[@VaLonFrandsen]

It was such a cool piece to start with, and I love what you did with it.

[@tinalampe3293]

So pretty! I know what my next project will be...my 30 year old cabinet needs an update! Sometimes I'm too chicken but yours turned out so pretty that I think I will try it in a happy yellow!

[@Kt-cn2rq]

This so interesting to see colored stains.

[@ednataylor6621]

That is a winner Mrs Serena 😊 it turned out really nice you are very talented and very creative

[@laurendao4467]

That turned out SO great! I love the paper you used! Now I’m on the hunt for a vintage sewing table to flip as a craft table that doesn’t have to stay unfolded all the time.

[@ThriftDiving]

Thanks, Lauren! Good luck!!

[@RuthiesVlogWorld]

This turned out Great I might buy some of this paint for my kitchen cabinets

[@kimkreate]

I really enjoy so many of your videos, but don't really comment... This sewing desk, however, is just so pretty...had to mention it! Super Great Job!! Very nicely done!! Thank you for sharing and being such an amazing inspiration! God Bless :)

[@ThriftDiving]

You are so sweet!! Thank you for taking the time watch and let me know! ❤️

[@ellenkincaid8434]

I am looking for some ideas for a entry way table and a cabinet, but I think that you gave me some good ideas for the cabinet

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Yooooooo Serena!!! Great to see a video Homie. This came out so colorful & makes me happy to look at. Hoping all is well my friend, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@ThriftDiving]

It was definitely a treasure to find! Thank you, Karla!

[@catherinethorington3452]

OMGORGOUS ♡ ! You have inspired me!

[@AccioPadfoot12]

It looks pretty! I don't think the grain shows well on camera after painting, but I trust you that it does show. Definitely a bright and cheery piece!

[@jodirauth8847]

Your progress is great

[@hsepulveda1]

Soooo beautiful!!!

[@marydenney8249]

Absolutely love this! Thank you

[@andreawalker7138]

That looked like a lot of work, but it turned out beautiful! I love how the flora paper complements the pink stain. (Pink is my favorite color)

[@sonicstoryteller]

Serena hellllllo what a piece of art you have created. And to second that what a stunning pair of knee caps 🤣. Hope your well dear best wishes Phil 🌹🌼

[@Daisy14]

I love this cabinet!

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you, Cheryl!!

[@elizabethlazore5431]

Great work! 👍👏

[@hanaaa6394]

That was perfect!

[@mamavibetribe8878]

I think it's ridiculously OTT but also shouldn't any craft cabinet reflect the personality and style of the crafter. What a wonderful way to bring that beauty back to life for your space.

[@ThriftDiving]

Yessss! Thank you so much!! I can't wait to do my first sewing project with sewing cabinet! I miss sewing so much!

[@tanyacordes5916]

Love this!!!!

[@MAHWL]

Oohh you've got red bottoms in your drawers 😅 just kidding! I love it!! 😍

[@ThriftDiving]

Aww, thank you!!

[@maxinewalsh7788]

[@colinslant]

Nice job, interesting technique with the coloured stain and liming wax. Colour scheme's not quite my taste - but you do you! 🙂

[@jannagrigorieva7893]

Loooove it!!!

[@kaycox5555]

[@leepiper4621]

Nice job ❣️

[@kimi2B1]

Watched your video a week or so ago and just so happened to be in Goodwill that weekend and found a sewing machine cabinet for $9.99 with military green " White" sewing machine inside. It's missing some parts so I will most likely replace it. I have always wanted to learn to sew and love DIY projects!

[@ThriftDiving]

Wow, great find!! Sewing is awesome and relaxing. You'll enjoy it!

[@carlarandall1811]

This. Looks. Amazing! I have followed you for a long while and this is one of my favorite makeovers. The paper is fantastic and I wonder if there is a brand that you recall. I like this type of floral and would love to get something similar. Who would not love to sit and sew at this terrific piece of furniture? I could see it as a desk as well. You work so hard at what you do and to share your projects with all of us is so enriching and generous. Thank you! Oh, and I subscribed to your podcast as well.

[@lenac2022]

Love it

[@collef1136]

Lovely 🥰😍😘

[@shawuanamay3913]

Very nice

[@TinaLouise528]

Nice!

[@LisaFrancisJennings]

[@MAHWL]

Wow!! You created Pape veneer (I think it's veneer) 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ but that's a great idea!

[@MAHWL]
