I Painted This Vintage Dresser

[@jaystreazy]

Glad the ao dai could be an inspiration. It turned out amazing. Not as amazing as your socks though...

[@catofthecastle1681]

I know, right?!

[@a.b.d.3974]

Yeah he was rocking those socks 😁

[@lann2bme7516]

That is awesome! 😊 I love cool fun socks!

[@cassiejenn]

I really like when those I consider professionals show errors and mistakes. I am relatively new at furniture painting and follow instructions and when it doesn't work I'm left wondering what I did. It's good to see it because I'm encouraged by that and it helps me be determined to keep trying. I leaned a lot and this is oh so pretty. I love your pieces!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bjwieland-doucet5917]

Stunning dresser. Very Versailles worthy. Love the almost metallic look of the blue/gray.

[@ts-eu6mp]

Thank you for leaving AND explaining the random, crackling boo-boos!Yes, the black paint added to the blue enriched the color and gave it depth. Good prep work and good primer are 80% of getting things looking right! Great timing for your sander showing up. I figure those are just your painting socks!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

I wear the socks everywhere. Get a lot of compliments oddly enough. A few giggles too but everyone needs a random laugh these days.

[@christyb.2272]

What;s wrong with this socks?

[@kathrynkneeland7179]

It was important for me to see the difficulties. Thank you. Your dresser came out like a masterpiece. Sooo beautiful.

[@deannamcdonald5178]

A royal looking dresser that was a royal pain to paint😅. Thanks for showing the mistakes helps everyone to learn. You were so patient and had great results in the end😊

[@Dakiniwoman]

I am back to your videos today as I really find I enjoy watching your work. I have done a lot of re-finishing in my long life as I am now 77 years old, but I never had a paint sprayer. I was mostly using paint-strippers and painting with a brush with oil base paints... Now there are much different paints and products than when I began around 1960 with my first projects. Your project here has such lovely details and turned out beautiful.

[@hollyolson5928]

I really enjoy watching you transform these pieces. I also appreciate seeing when things don’t go the way you think and how you correct or change them.

[@tristamyers1910]

My goodness!! That is such a beautiful piece! I love a dusty looking color with gold accents! Also, can we talk about how beautiful the hardwear is on this piece?!

[@donna7338]

I'm glad the mistakes are included in your video. I learn more from seeing them than if you had edited them out. I'm not a fan of painting high-quality wood furniture, but this piece came out very nicely.

[@GODSPEAKS898]

Wow! This piece is absolutely beautiful. You know everything is trial and error refurbish furniture, but you did a wonderful job. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️

[@davidjackson4762]

What a tremendous amount of work! I appreciate you showing what actually happened...a great lesson, because something usually does not come out like you expected. A beautiful job, well done.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@KimBounds-y1w]

Metallics are a great way to enhance they also make silver, bronze & copper.silver with cool colors, gold with warm

[@catherinemckenney6317]

Dresser turned out beautiful I have my doubts when I saw the first coat of blue. Adding the black made a world of difference it came out gorgeous

[@merlemobjerg9381]

One of my absolute favourits. Amazing result. Also love your laid back, unassuming attitude.

[@jamesboyd1624]

Thats why i like acrylic clear coats, no bubbling. If it does due to the humidity you can use a torch to remove trapped bubbles. Polyurethane is very flammable though, so make sure its acrylic.

[@noodletropic]

Excellent work and very well documented video. This project deserves to be featured in woodworkers centerfold. Absolutely inspirational. Thank you.

[@oldgloryhillfarmturtlewoma9132]

My first glance at that beautiful dresser, realizing you were going to paint it, made my heart sink. The finished product though, m g, how striking. Where you might once have walked into a room and thought “really nice piece”, now you wouldn’t want to take your eyes off it. Yes, you do great work, boo boos and all, but your imagination and creativity outshines that by a mile.

[@TinaOnEarth]

Thanks so much for the cultural appreciation opportunity to create this handsome piece! Much love from this Vietnamese American furniture artist! 💕🔥

[@MsCheza24]

Wow thank you for showing that problem! No doubt you have shed a lot of people a lot of work. Love the color! Nice work.

[@Nanuq.Chikki8]

This guy’s Amazing! He bought that dresser back to life! He really cares about his work! Superb!!!

[@vandahuman8522]

Stunning. The dresser looked so good with just the primer on it was lovely shade of gray

[@jonnaborosky8836]

I was so excitedly waiting to see navy and gold! I know it's as close as you could get it without navy paint....but to me it looks gray. It still looks good.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Colors vary depending on your screen settings.

[@ahakchan842]

Absolute perfectionist this guy! Love your patience and quality assurance.

[@mama_p_nz8233]

Now that, I would have in my room. Fantastic job, thank you for sharing the issues you had it helps.

[@richardjones8236]

It's great you explained all the problems and what caused them. I think there is a lot more of these problems in furniture flipping than are shown. Great vid!!

[@tiger8linny788]

Absolutely GORGEOUS and a delight seeing you roll with the punches until you reached your final goal❣️

[@lindamoya3060]

Looks fantastic Beauty and the Beast dresser like it is ment for a mansion!!! Nothing wrong with pointing out what went wrong and corrected it it's a lesson for us all❤

[@sandrarivera8374]

BEAUTIFUL! VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!😍😍😍

[@teresaoneill6440]

Definitely a show stopper. A person could design an entire dining/kitchen/living room around this fabulous piece of furniture!

[@kimbibbs5700]

Wow!! That was a lot of work for you, but as always, GORGEOUS!!! Thanks for the lessons also!!!

[@kathleenbarrow3373]

I love watching you paint and transform these lovely pieces! They turn out looking so Rich!

[@tonics7121]

O my goodness. Can't believe you did that. Can't believe how beautiful.

[@connieleonard8326]

I have never been big on blue furniture then you add the gold . Would never have picked those colors. WELL, I WAS WRONG it is BEAUTIFUL.

[@rhondagoldberg8419]

It came out looking fabulous Shabby. You patience, perseverance, skills and knowledge paid off. Love your work and thanks for sharing!

[@merddd190]

I like the crackling!!! Beautiful 👍👍👍👍

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

I liked it too actually. I was really wanting to just leave it but it was so random that it just didn't look right. Maybe I'll incorporate it on another piece in the future, but on purpose. 😀

[@maureentuohy8672]

Wow! Even in its shabby condition this piece was stunning. Now it's goirgous.

[@lynlang7243]

Love it, and I do this sort of thing too and get inspiration from people like you. I'd love to find a piece like that to refinish. Great job!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

RIP. Your other comment got deleted.

[@gailcullinan]

Greetings from South Africa Shabby, wow this is a stunning piece of work. Thanks for all the lessons and info.

[@lth7023]

OMG! That dresser could sell for a Couple of Thousand $ I'm so glad we watched this Video bc it will help us to know what to do & not do when we resurface our Cabinets & some chairs we have that are getting a bit old! Your Videos are Very Detailed & Informative! Thanks for Posting! Now I feel like I've been to a Furniture Restoration Class!

[@cathyknapp9360]

Thank you so much for sharing with quite interesting to learn so much from you on this piece to help me when I get started with my bathing on my furniture love your DIYs we open and honesty and the many teachings that you teach us this piece turned out beautiful thank you so much for sharing have a great day and God bless you

[@sandrasandilands6709]

I looovvve this…I have 2 old sideboards in my house ( inherited when we bought the house )…I’ve loved them but they are a bit worn in places… I think it’s now time to give them a makeover…you have shown me how to do this properly…I don’t have the spray gun that you use but I’m so inspired by your colours…thank you 😁

[@brynjarthewarrior2680]

Your videos provide calm and relaxation after a long day of work and stress. BTW, what an awesome smile😊😊

[@TerryBerry127]

This is beautiful. Your choices in color are very good. Love it.

[@Scratchync]

Omg I LOVE this dresser!!!😍😍😍😍

[@deanagallatin6974]

Love your show! Thank you for showing us the difficulties you had. I live in Florida where the humidity is high 80% of the year! LoL. It's really bad. During December, January, February it's still 60%, but It feels different. I love this dresser! It's just gorgeous. It's the colors I wanted to use on my home furniture. Now I have a great idea of what it will look like. Thank you!

[@sharonperry8978]

Love the look of this dresser painted

[@deedeep.1064]

The piece turned out Gorgeous! I have been painting furniture for years.I mostly paint primitive furniture which is my favorite ! Thank you for sharing because you can never get enough knowledge about painting.

[@brbobok9425]

Absoulutly Beautiful.....

[@Flyingangelskevin]

That’s beautiful it’s good you left the mistakes you made because it teaches people x

[@ginnygiannette4630]

I love natural wood, but you've changed my mind about painting furniture. It's beautiful!

[@kylieyager9156]

I love how you showed the mistakes and how tou fixed them. Because that is part of the process especially when your beginner like myself. Your piece came out beautiful!

[@clayfeathers]

Beautiful!! That gold would look gorgeous with any color. You have a “good eye”. Would love a black and gold.

[@garryland5153]

Another masterpiece by you! It is breathtakingly beautiful and looks like a piece you would find in a five star hotel room in Paris. You are just MEGA-TALENTED when it comes to this. I could just sit and watch your videos all day. EXCELLENT JOB!!! BRAVO!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thanks Garry!

[@jaydoe3707]

Man that was a hard lesson to learn... Glad you shared that so hopefully others don't have to make the same mistake. Beautiful work as always.

[@mermaidtales3639]

Beautiful! Totally worth the time and effort to redo. Been there, done that, lol. I recently finished a French Provençal buffet with the same gorgeous hardware 😊

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Sounds great!

[@sandrasolaligue-perez3606]

💙💙💙 Navy blue is, from far, my favourite color! I would have matched it with silver, though. But, this still looks amazing! Way to go! 💙💙💙

[@l.g.4451]

I actually liked the flawed finish, but I wasn't up close looking at it. Kudos to you for doing all the work required to make it right. It is beautiful and classic.

[@kirbyland80]

Hey Cowboy, its been a while... love, love, love, the way this dresser turned out!! The way it started to go sideways at first reminded me of me and some of the projects Ive tackled... lol... but sometimes those projects that take a ton of correcting, turn out the best... I met you originally on a shabby chic site based in Ireland, Im the Prim Cricket. Ive been extremely tired up with revamping an entire 1963 ranch style house... OMG, how much woodwork can be in a simple ranch home!! Answer: A CRAP LOAD!! lol... Hope all has been well for you and Texas. Love your videos!! Big hug from a fellow Texan... (transplanted against my will as a teen to the North). lol

[@amyahdocq8835]

Wow! What a beauty! ❣

[@WhiteStarFlower]

That piece is amazing.. I liked the first blue you had without the black paint in it. Love your style!

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

I did too actually but I wanted to get it closer to my inspiration color. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@sheilasmith4427]

Simply beautiful , perfect color

[@kimberlynolan2573]

Wow wow wow that's awesome. Love the fact that you show your mishaps and how you corrected them. I'm learning so much from your videos, so thank you! Beautiful project. Have a blessed day 🌹

[@VWMikey1]

I have found that a lot furniture painters started adding a little paint color to their top coat to avoid the cloudiness and it works, but you have crackeling going on too! I love the video you do amazing and beautiful work. Thanks for sharing

[@sandrajohnson9926]

That's a gorgeous piece of furniture. You have a gift.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

This dresser drawer chester is very nice looking - nice work Mr shabby

[@gtlfb]

Has that gloriously over the top Hollywood Regency look. Every house should have a showstopper like this.

[@littlebrookreader949]

SO well done. What a great piece! I liked the way you handled everything. THANKS! 👍👍

[@mahie56]

Truly honest in his professional presentation. Thank you.

[@Cillianofarrell]

Great job Shabby. It's a nightmare when that happens with WB poly. You should try spraying it during an Irish winter 😀. I had to switch to solvent based paints/finishes just to cut down on drying time.

[@ritabook5335]

Gorgeous. I love your use of paint and trim colors. You do excellent work. Thanks for sharing your goof.

[@sheilastahl633]

That high end dresser is now a masterpiece and the cost you paid for it is really not bad when you consider now people are transforming these pieces and looking for them everywhere.

[@patpowers853]

Wow! Now that's a work of art! Well done.

[@kwillow12]

Thanks for showing your mistake. It's good to see the problems that can arise from a couple moments inattention, or just bad luck. Very enjoyable video!

[@metropcs7560]

You know this is beautifully done. I try to learn all I can!!! Thank you.

[@mary11976]

Wow. Patience and persistence. That's def not me but I can soooo appreciate the devotion that went into this. 👍

[@robderka]

You are crushing these vids man. Really nice work. Including the information about fixing your mistakes is super interesting.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Thanks buddy. Hope you're doing well. Love ya!

[@DeanFurnitureArtist]

Texas weather can cuase major headaches. Be fine to paint one way no issues then later that day be horrible to paint the same way. Excited to hear more about the new sander after you get some more time with it. Looks like a deal!

[@marg233]

Great job, unbelievable transformation, gorgeous piece, love color choice & gold detail it's rich i lovit kudos 2U 👏🏻 Tell your vets 😆👍🏻

[@briemills9209]

Beautiful! It really is a showstopper.

[@zigprof]

It was sumptuous!! Worthy of being in a Palace. I loved it!! Good vibes and Namaste!

[@reneemay8681]

Absolutely beautiful!! Job well done!!

[@deborahmatatall]

Happy to see you again! This is beautiful. I really like that you showed how to repair a topcoat fail. That is really helpful for me. Love your socks, too!🌸

[@laurenl5843]

Wow what a tremendous amount of work. Thank you so much for showing the mistakes. When I make them I feel so amateur. Seeing that the pros can also misstep makes me feel better. I love your works. Thanks again! 👍💜😊🇨🇦

[@susangardner8305]

What a statement piece so gorgeous and bold

[@emcameron6157]

Beautiful work. I love the colour you chose. Nice to see a professional make mistakes but doesn't take them out of the video.

[@arianaaguilera8606]

Love ❤your work thanks for always Sharing with us👍 ....the color combo is my favorite ❤👏🤑

[@sharonj.2865]

I have this almost extact dresser and it was a purchase I regret. The only detail that is different is the bottom center skirt area. Mine is a simpler design. Thirty years later, it's still sitting in my bedroom. It is heavy and over the top! If I could easily move it, I would paint it. But, it is on the second floor of my home and my husband would balk at moving it now. Not sure what I will ever do with it...other than ignore it 😄 Your job is beautiful!

[@bonnieyuse5876]

Wow...fit for a King! 💝

[@buffettchick1]

Thank you so much for sharing the problems & solutions. It gives me more confidence when I try these projects.

[@victoriajoyce7363]

I really love your videos. Your are a great teacher. Not just a demo.

Absolutely beautiful! I’m glad you’re back.

[@zeldasmith6154]

It's very calming to look at your video. I can tell you love to spray paint. You work fast, too. Love your video.

[@cathyjeffersgonzales108]

WOW!! What a transformation! Well done!

[@jaelsmith7733]

Omg! Absolutely love it! Reminds of that king Louie style furniture.

[@christiehuffman3823]

Amazing!!! I used to refinish furniture! But my life got way way too busy and I'm talking years of too much! I'm slowing down and I got a two car garage now so hey I just might start it back up again! Thank you so much

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Wonderful!

[@3131raymond]

Lovely job again. So much work goes into the pieces. I've learned a lot. You are to the point.

[@tequeena]

What a journey, very educational. Your perseverance paid off, it's a beauty 😍
