This is one of the better upcycles I've seen - very tasteful.

[@pamelastoddard1]

You are thorough and I love how professional your piece look! It looks fantastic!

[@laschizo]

I´m just so impressed by your level of precision, you don´t leave any detail aside, that makes a huge difference in terms of finish, the result is really impressive! Keep on being a perfectionist, girl!

[@cncmedia1461]

The new word: "caretious" now that needs to appear on countdown! You rock Shade!!

[@leabeauty837]

Omg literally bought this today, with the intention of painting tomorrow! and I literally discovered your channel a few days ago.. what a coincidence! Perfect timing.

[@Califdml45]

Just gorgeous!! That trim choice definitely took this piece from drab to fab. Well done!!

[@anisahdin618]

Here from your tiktok tutorial, couldn't wait to see an in depth version of this tutorial and I am now obsessed with your channel, you've seriously inspired me to get into DIY. Amazing job!

[@ShadeShannon]

I'm so happy to hear that!!

[@chriskunsak3963]

Your smile makes me happy... and your finished product here is amazing! I'm incorporating this dresser into a closet redesign and am now considering edging the drawers and adding handles. Thanks for taking all the time to put this video together! You have a new fan from the US!!

[@sinkintostillness]

Great job! I only painted ours so didn't go as far as you for remodelling the drawer fronts. I did invest in the glass tops they sell to help prolong the life of the tops after painting though. Found this to be so worthwhile for cleaning, preventing scratching, staining etc...

[@AnnieHonjo]

You are truly inspiring and I love your 'can do' approach to perfectionism. You teach good habits; I have usually been a 'cut corners' kinda gal, but you really show the benefits of taking each step carefully. Awesome lady, thank you!

[@ShadeShannon]

You are so welcome!

[@eileenchambers4253]

Wow, fabulous Shade such a professional finish, doesn't look like a upcycle piece of furniture, well done, ❤️

[@ShadeShannon]

I’ll take that 🥰

[@Nthn2chere]

This is brilliant! I'm doing this for my daughters nursery to update her dad's old drawers into cute baby girl drawers!

[@videokkrazy]

I'm doing exactly these dressers and I'm so happy I found your video! Has all the details I needed.

[@catheriner2615]

Beautiful job Shade. You've done it again. I'm always astounded by the ideas you come up with and most are budget friendly. 😍

[@ShadeShannon]

thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed this :)

[@alixbaptiste2387]

Exactly what I need to know re: MDF etc. Thorough details regarding technique and products. Thank you so much. I feel ready to tackle my very old HiFi cabinet now!

[@ShadeShannon]

So glad it helped!

[@MortenSminge]

Nice seeing a girl getting the job done... those angle cuts on the trim were a brilliant idea for the front, and the colours chosen makes it look great. thanks for sharing and a nice presentation.

[@doddnejadfard3251]

Love the change,,,the hard wear is the cherry on the top…..beautiful beautiful

[@ShadeShannon]

Thank you! 🤗

[@khasrat1]

You explain things incredibly well. Thank you for going through each step in detail

[@tn9274]

wow, can't believe the finish can be sanded and painted and looks like real solid wood furniture..

[@nikkiep23]

I love a well done Ikea hack and this is no exception. Great job Shade!

[@ShadeShannon]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@MissHappiness36]

Brilliant job! I love the detail, now I know what I’ve been doing wrong. I have a large toy box my brother made for me when he was in high school wood shop more than 50 + years ago. It’s needs a little TLC as it’s gone from toy box to hope chest and now blanket storage and bench seat. Thank you for this video.

[@mattleehunter]

Fantastic work! I'm inspired... Going to start prepping this weekend. Goodbye MALM drawers, hello custom furniture!

[@ShadeShannon]

Yayyy enjoy 😊

[@scoobyloo3157]

I just bought two of these in IKEA yesterday in a lovely grey stain and have finished putting them together this actual minute! I now now what to do with them in a few years time when I'm fed up with them and fancy a new look! Fab x

[@ShadeShannon]

[@ZUMBACOSTABLANCA]

Loved this hack, I have a lot of Malm and it's beginning to look a bit shabby (and not in a chic way). However, just to say, from the very first moments of vid, I just loved your vibe, natural way of explaining and that gorgeous smile. Top job Shade - you have a new subscriber!

[@kathymoore4932]

I love it looks great; I have something from IKEA and I would like to do something similar. Thank you for sharing

[@sarahnapier1865]

Lovely work.

[@miaschu8175]

I should have had a notepad and pen ready; this was so informative. Great instructions and demonstration - thank you!

[@miaschu8175]

I have the white Malm chest of drawers, which is still in good condition, but I have another melamine piece I was watching this for. However, I'm now thinking about adding pretty pulls to my drawers.
