Painted and Stained Vintage Provincial Dresser Makeover

[@Boomerinthewild62]

Funny, I loved the original color and was disappointed he was going to paint it. Then when he painted it I loved the light blue and the light colored top and was disappointed when he was going to stain it darker. Then he stains it darker and, you guessed it, I love it! Goes to show that I should withhold judgment until the entire process is complete. Awesome job.

[@charlesarthur6383]

I always appreciate the transformation from the uninspired original finishes to your reimagined creations, often with abandoned materials no less. You have quite the eye for color harmonies. And you disprove the old adage that watching paint dry is boring.

[@goodfeetabq3661]

With all the poorly constructed furniture being mass produced these days it’s a pleasure to see quality pieces be saved. Beautiful.

[@DaleDix]

That's all people can afford sometimes. Poor people can have nice looking things too.

I really don’t know who gave this video a thumbs down, why? Oh well you did an amazing job, I’m a Designer and I’m always so impressed with your work. You do such good work. You keep putting out great videos and we will continue to watch.

A little knowledge from a "KZbinr": KZbin loves "engagement". Like, comment, share, dislike; KZbin measures them all the same. So it doesn't bother me. 😀 Appreciate you watching my video (and enjoying them). Take care!

I really appreciate that you treat the edge of the top the same as the flat surface of the top. I see some re-finishers painting the edge the same color as the body of the piece. It is so much prettier with the entire top stained the same. Great job!

Beautiful absolutely beautiful! I had a triple dresser exactly like that one so I had nine drawers. Also it had a chest of drawers and two nightstands and a head and footboard.

You did a magnificent job and I am overly impressed. I could never imagine that dresser looking so good!! All the best! 👍👍👍😊

The glazing is so amazing in blending a top with painted sides - so they make a single statement in the same general tone! (I really was never aware of that idea before.)

I have the exact same 4 piece bedroom set that was my mothers. It's 56 years old. It been sitting in my cellar for quite some time now. The original color was an off white leaning more towards the white side with the gold trim. Over the years it did turn yellowish just like the one you just did. I keep it because it's a good piece of furniture and I don't have the heart to throw it away because it has no damage except for the paint. The one you painted came out beautiful! However, I prefer the original color. I wish I knew somebody like you who could restore it back to it's original beauty. Love your channel!

Your jams are killer🎻🎺🎷🎸.I inherited a full set of Drexel. Big dresser with the mirror, a console with three drawers, two petite night tables, and the full bed. Needs touch ups now and again.

I have this complete set, from my childhood. Don't you dare try to calculate my age. I'm older than that. ;P This small dresser, a tall dresser-on-dresser, two nightstands, Queen headboard, and two different jewel cases. I purchased a couple of the pieces as an adult when I saw they matched this set. I love how well made it is. Solid wood and lovely lines. I stripped it to bare wood, conditioned the wood, and went to town with a true flamingo pink. Kind of a brilliant saturated coral. Warm "gunstock" wood stain as an antiquing glaze. Copper wax to the edges. Fresh copper hardware I made to resemble botanical elements, sealed to keep it bright and avoid tarnish. It's a very different look than what you have done. Just goes to show how much the finish can impact the vibe. I guess my point is this: Do something that speaks to you and it'll be fine! No wrong answers. I do enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

Hey Shaddy Guy was there a reason you painted the symbol the 'Sun Cross' when you where painted on the wood stain on the side of the dresser?

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

I was wondering when someone was going to ask this question. 😃 I sometimes do some sort of cross or X to spread the stain around before doing the full brush strokes. I have no idea why I did it that way this time, nor have I ever knew the many different meanings of the symbol. I thought it was interesting for the video and wondered if anyone would say anything.

[@a1fx]

Thank you for your reply I did consider if you were making a subversive political statement by painting he Sun Cross but I am not a conspiracy theorist. I love your videos guy I find them relaxing.
