STRIPPING PINK PAINT from a gorgeous old chest of drawers

[@jcortese3300]

For some reason, I get the warm fuzzies when I see you take a piece of furniture that was doubtless in a little girl's room -- and she LOVED it because it was purple or pink or something -- and turn it into something that the grown woman she became would also love. 🙂

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I love that!

@@karenkouns577 : I looked at it because the size was perfect for the space I have but I knew it was way beyond my capabilities. I just refinish pieces to replace the our furniture that 37 rescue cats destroyed over the last 22 years. Angie does such a fantastic job and has such vision.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

[@Val_Emrys]

I am not a fan of pink (anything) furniture but frankly I have to admire the artistry that was achieved on the painted piece. That said I much prefer your vision that restored it to a natural look. You created a lovely piece.

[@mdelaney9008]

Agree.

[@Sludgedragon]

I was going to say the same thing. I never cared for that spongey stipple, and especially not in pink! But they did a very good job of it at the time.

[@zorroZORROzorroZORRO]

I agree! I prefer the natural wood but i never saw such a precise and artistic work with sponge painting

[@clairep.ronalds897]

I concur!! I thought it was a vinyl sheet product at first, for a pink sponge texture it was VERY evenly done!!

Someone definitely put a lot of time and effort into the pink camo look at one time, absolutely. Now it has a new life. 😊 Thanks so much for watching!

What a stunningly handsome piece. Honestly, I would have walked right past this guy and not looked back. I’m glad you rescued it from the disaster it was. Your care for the integrity of your flips is so good, girl! Keep it up!

[@melody5437]

I don't think it was a disaster - it kept on serving a purpose and probably wouldn't have had it not been painted. Sponge painting was all the rage and it probably served the pink-lover well. Now it's off to a new life. :-)

I wasn't at all un-sure about painting the handles. I've seen enough of Angie's work to trust her judgment implicitly. She has an almost uncanny ability to feel/sense a piece and know exactly what it needs, and the knowledge/ability/experience to make it happen. This proves my point - you don't ever need to worry about anything she does because she always manages to do whatever the piece really needs. Amazing!
