The Un-Donate-Able Dresser Makeover | Antique Dresser Makeover w/ Sage Green Paint & Drawer Stencils

[@thaonguyen-vz7fo]

Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included kzbin.infoUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you! 😊

[@charlottecolley6966]

Just watched this for the 2nd time. My inspiration for renovating a 100 yr old dresser. And I'm doing this at the tender age of 70 yrs old (not a typo). I even made a beeswax polish that has a rose scent that reminds me of my mother. I'm using it inside the drawers so that I can be reminded of her when I open a drawer. Thanks so much, Andy, for making me get up & do something!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Oh wow Charlotte, thank you very much for sharing this! I'm so touched to hear I helped in some way with your inspiration - and what an incredibly lovely idea to make your own wax polish with a rose scent - I'm blown away! Best of luck with your wonderful and very special project! 🌹

[@charlottecolley6966]

@@FurnitureFablesbyAndy thats for the inspiration!

[@sondraschaefer4539]

You're a good girl, Charlie Brown. Don't mind me...a little loopy!

[@deloiswalker8374]

I have a similar story. I’m an artist that was looking for inspiration and I believe I’ve found it here on this site! I’m 65 and I’m ready to get started with a few furniture pieces. We can do this! 👏🏽

[@emilyhetherington9717]

Hello Charlotte, I REALLY admire you, how wonderful that at seventy years young you decided to take the plunge and renovate an antique piece. I would love to know how you make the rose scent beeswax that reminds you of your mother. I am growing roses that remind me of my Nanna. You could even get your family to help you make a youtube video on it. God bless, Wendy

[@calgal8915]

She’s like a beautiful bride! And the MUSIC, lovely. I felt like I was watching a romance movie.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Hooray! Many many thanks!!

[@tanyaperrin1218]

I watch a LOT of furniture makeovers and thrift store up cycling but hands down….. this is THE most beautiful piece I’ve ever seen!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow - I'm honored. Thank you so much!

[@deborahmatatall]

This is just lovely. All of it - furniture, paint color, color wash, wax, stencils, music, the story, your voice - all of it. I learned a lot, too!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much for BOTH of your comments, Deborah! Deeply appreciated! 😊

[@dinahkruppa913]

Beautiful!

[@mimistans7715]

I agree! So much fun to watch.

[@retoldbyrae]

Your storytelling is so lovely! I feel like each piece of furniture is an old friend getting a makeover.. Sacred sage is my favorite from Fusion paint, its so perfect for this dresser!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much, Rae! And hooray - a fellow Fusion lover! Yes, that color is so gorgeous. I'm so glad you liked it for this dresser!

[@inkenvonkrohn7445]

Great great Videos, so nice to see them, please go on ! Much greetings from Lübeck at the Baltic Sea in Germany. I am a midwife and are in a sabbatical time because of the coronamess, in this pause my creativity is bursting out ,now I am starting to flip furniture and old suitcases

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow - hello to you from California! I am so happy you enjoyed and that's wonderful to hear you are flipping furniture as well as old suitcases! Many thanks!

[@cincysue5917]

I can't believe you are new to this! You process is clear without watching you paint EVERY stroke. Camera work is great and I appreciate the tips! Most importantly, your stories have a 'happily ever after' ending with beautiful outcome with new life rather than adding some good bones to a dump. GREAT JOB!!! I can't wait to see more!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you so much - what a joy to hear this! Yes, one of my favorite parts about this work is the saving of quality pieces from our landfills - truly a win-win. 😊

[@KathyB-m5d]

You started with a pathetic sorry looking piece with plenty of potential and your patience and vision gave it a wonderful second chance. It is heartwarming to see pieces of bygone days be given some TLC and a refreshing look. I was glad to see the repair part of this video so now I have a better understanding of how things are done for the nitty gritty part. With a stash of furniture I have collected, I am getting more motivated in trying to do something with it to restore its use and enjoyment in a new home. Yes, I love the color you chose and using the wash technique for the bottom which gives it more character and style. The white wax gives a lovely soft romantic feel. This dresser deserved your love, patience and vision, and it is now a lovely piece to be enjoyed by someone who will appreciate and enjoy it. I love your channel and the inspiration you give me.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you so much, this is lovely to hear! So happy you enjoyed this special piece's story, it was a joy to bring it back to life. ❤️

[@christopherartindale7750]

This has to be my favourite furniture flip I have seen on any channel. Absolutely stunning!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thank you so much for such a wonderful compliment!! That's fantastic to hear.

[@SBL1932]

Cannot even imagine that that is the same piece of furniture. It is beyond beautiful. What an outstanding job

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thank you so much Stella! ❤️😊

[@juliekey1750]

[@cynthiasicurella4264]

As soon as I saw your introduction, I said to myself , " This lady has a terrific personality and sense of humor to teach as well as entertain us! " Wonderful work! I shared this with my daughter, Sydney, she has refinished 3 pieces already. Thanks so much for sharing the details on repairing those areas! Love it!!!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thank you so much Cynthia, and thanks for sharing with your daughter - sounds like she's on her way!!

[@mastiffmom2592]

I too have some repair work to do, on my second project. Andy has given me more confidence to get going. I’m going to use Bondo instead of the 2 part putty that I have. I’ve used it for a couple of repairs and it’s not as pliable as I’d like to have it. Working in small batches will be key, for me. I’m excited for your daughter, Sydney, to be learning and honing her craft. Watching these Fables makes this even more fun than it already was, for me. 💕

[@holly5791]

I am usually what I call a wood purist. I just love stained wood, but...sometimes a piece needs help, and you definitely had that piece. I love your attention to detail. I would say that you lovingly repaired the old lady and now she gets a second life. From(OUCH!), undonateable to someone's home to be appreciated again. Great job!🙂👍

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much, that means a lot! 😊❤️

[@susanwierzba3244]

Absolutely beautiful. I would buy it in a heart beat!!!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thanks Susan!

[@virginiasoskin9082]

All I can say is WOW! The paint color, the brass, the whitewash finish. Geez, you sure know about products and how to use them. $480? You deserved every penny.

Many thanks, Virginia!! This one was really special to work on, for sure. 😊💚

[@sherryagar2349]

Your use of lovely music is so refreshing! Loved your video.

Thank you so much! Music is very near and dear to my heart - I love that creative part of the process. 😊

[@mitzileach260]

Wow that turned out stunning and loved all your attention to detail. I personally love older furniture, it has more character and history.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thank you so much!! What a wonderful compliment - I love PBS specials too, lol! I had hoped that folks would enjoy the approach, but have been blown away by the positive response. Would of course be thrilled to be shared on your channel!

[@janalovespaper]

Absolutely gorgeous!!! It really does have a "dreamy" look. I love that you restored it to its original self and used the original hardware, rather than turning it into a different piece of furniture. I love to see furniture flipped into another piece, but this piece deserved to be restored to its origin. Beautiful work!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Many thanks, Jana - that's so nice to hear! 😊

[@lucybecker8]

Breaking the work down into chapters is brilliant. I'm not a natural at this kind of thing so the chapters take a task like this from overwhelming to comprehensible/ doable.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks Lucy, that's great to hear!

[@ericaduncan1687]

I have always had a hard time with people painting "antiques". However, there is a point when restoration is just not possible. You did a wonderful job of treating her with respect and really infused love into an unloved piece. Bravo!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you - I really appreciate that!! ❤️😊

[@jdee4956]

Couldn't agree more.

[@jeanettepaynter1183]

I definitely agree. This tuned out beautifully!

[@JamieM470]

Exactly my thoughts! And love the lavender on the sides of the drawers. That makes it even more special.

[@joannmorgan5006]

WOW WOW WOW!!! U made that into such a beauty. I think u should have gotten a lot more for that. All the hard work and time and it's real wood, large, and so pretty. GOOD for you😊

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you so much, Joann!

[@michellepeters6532]

Holy Crow!!! What a PHENOMENAL job you did on the drawer repair! Thank you so much! I have a piece missing some veneer on its base. I had no idea how to repair it. Now I do! And using that mold was absolutely right on! I’m just so so happy right now!👏👏👏👏👏 Ps. I’m soooo in love 😍 with that paint color!

Andy -- I just discovered your channel, and found a happy new identifier to apply to myself: Furniture Nerd! I just love all that you did to this piece. At nearly every step of the way, I second-guessed your paint and color choices. But I'm happy to say you were right every time, and I learned a lot! Please keep your videos coming! P.S. -- You have a wonderful voice!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

[@chalmadanes4291]

The narration you provide is as relaxing as watching you paint. Love the before and after at the end.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you, Chalma - that's to wonderful to hear!!

[@KatherineTheGr8t]

Andy this dresser is a stunner. I don't know how long you have been doing the KZbin thing but I am impressed!!! You are the real deal - your detail work is stellar, great color combo and your commentary was excellent. I really enjoyed watching & listening to you work. You and whoever is doing your editing could take this videoing thing to the next level....whatever that is...film making? Loved it. ps I have never ever given this kind of response to anyone before, and I don't know anything about film making I just know how much I liked it. Thank you : )

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

WOW - Kathrine..I'm blown away! Thank you so much. I'm very new to the Tube, just three videos so far, but am having a blast getting to combine my love of furniture redesign with my experience as a performer. I do all of the filming and editing myself, so I am very grateful to hear that you noticed/enjoyed that element enough to comment specifically!! Thank you again so much for the encouragement and support. Looking forward to bringing you more stories! 😊

[@zoewilkinson2418]

[@esalenchik]

The quality of your refinishing and the beautiful colors that you chose as well as the lavender details on the drawer sides made this such an amazing dresser! Your storytelling had me captivated throughout the video, and when you said “with bones like these...” referring to the dresser, I was looking at your lovely cheek bones, and that brought an extra smile to my face. Thank you for doing all the work to make this video, while telling the fable of this wonderful piece. 💕

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thank you so much!!! Really appreciate hearing all of that - and I'm thrilled my cheekbones are still visible! 😂❤️😉

[@ajacob4815]

I’m just starting out on restoring old wood furniture. As a single father with not much extra time I try to find ways to cut corners but I learned not with this. Watching you has giving me many ideas for some of my pieces iv done. You have turned me on to chalk paint. and I’m now using spray can chalk because I can’t afford any of the good stuff let alone one of the brushes. Any ideas. Love your channel and love the fables idea I’m a big reader and like how u fused books and wood. Thanks for all the good content. Me and my son love watching your transformations and love that u show us the numbers as well.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks so much Jacob!! It's true one of the most challenging parts of this craft is balancing between quality work (which usually means lots of steps and a little more expensive products) and your time! Finding that balance and what worked best for me definitely took me a little while. 😊 As far as cost - there are a lot of less expensive paints out there that many furniture artists absolutely love! I've actually never used spray chalk paint, but I hear it can be great. Another line to consider trying is Chalked by Rust-Oleum. Best of luck, and thanks so much for watching!

[@catcar8212]

Hi Andy, I like your style and how you styled your dresser. You are easy to listen to and you covered a lot of repair how-to's. The dresser couldn't be cuter!! I subscribed.🌷🌷

I AM INSPIRED !! LOVE THE COLOR !! I USED TO STRIP ANTIQUES FOR A WOMAN REFINISHER / REPAIR / RESTORER...& HAD ANOTHER FRIEND WHO WAS A MASTER RESTORER...THEY MATCHED PERIOD WOODS, & FINNISHES...NOT MUCH PAINT...SO THIS IS VERY ENLIGHTENING...THE PIECE CAME OUT JUST PERFECT!!! GREAT TUTORIAL!! ♡☆♡ THANK YOU !!♡

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thank you Ann - and thank you for sharing that!! 😊

[@shawnas464]

Gorgeous! I would have had to keep her💐

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thanks Shawna! Yes - this one was tough to sell. 🥰

[@LaughingInTiny]

Yes, I'm one of those DON'T PAINT THE ANTIQUES for certain. And I actually prefer modern furniture in my home but I have massive respect for both the people who took so much care to hand build the pieces, as well as the (often endangered) woods used that we just can't get anymore in some cases. However, when someone rescues a piece that was not salvageable without essentially rebuilding it AND treats it the way you do, that's entirely different. Some are for restoration and some for painting. The issue is the number of people who watch KZbin videos and run out and poorly paint (and ruin) perfectly good antiques in a way that will have them sitting at the curb in a few years or less. What's needed is more education around the difference... so THANK YOU.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Thank you, Andrea - well said!! 😊❤️

[@TheCalicoalicat]

Green is my favorite color! Loved this flip! You know so much!

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Yes - LOVE green as well!! Thank you so much!

[@craftandseewithlaurab1870]

Wow!! As a complete newbie I learned a TON! And just....wow! to the finished product. I too have an old, surface-ly ugly, dresser or two, with very good bones. One is a gorgeous, although frill-less waterfall dresser. Months ago I saw a dresser, and style I was certain I wanted to use. Now, and please don't vomit, scream in horror, and/or call the furniture rehab police, I'm super into the shabby chic. Or anything that doesn't look new. But again, this dresser of yours... It's like the perfect middle ground between shiny and new-looking and beat to hell. Much food for thought. Thank you, thank you and thank you! 😍 And I'm so glad this is a new video; I hate it when I find a creator I really like and they've stopped posting videos months and years ago. ❤️

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Wow, thank you so much Laura!! Truly appreciate reading this - I'm so happy this video may be of help. It sounds like you've got some great options to work with! And don't apologize at all for liking shabby chic - I know it will always have a special place in my heart ❤️ - but yes, this approach may be a nice middle ground! Thanks again for watching, and look forward to bringing you more in my next "season"! 😊

Absolutely beautiful. I can't believe you've only made two videos. You're a natural. I look forward to seeing more. Thank you.

OMG Andy you have completely saved my project which I've been holding off doing due to the small but very intricate damage it currently shows and here you go and post this which is exactly what I needed to learn how to fix within the boundaries of the products that are available to us. My piece is exactly like yours but a Tall Boy 6 drawer style version with same gorgeous brass handles and in mahogany wood with same delicate trim and lil floret accents that I fell in love with. The only thing is I did end up paying $75 for it off a Craigslist seller who was sadly having to part with it although it was her Grandmother's tall boy due to space issues in her home. Thank you thank you for including All the products used in the veneer drawer front repair which I will also need to address prior to cleaning and priming my piece. I can only hope I do as good a job as you when facing my sweet antique to die for Tall Boy. You're my saviour for having done all this work to teach us. Much love from The Big Easy.😚

That's amazing - how fortuitous! I'm so glad if this ends up being a help - I know how overwhelming a project like that can feel! Best of luck with it and thank you again!

I am a strict purist when it comes to painting wood furniture especially antiques. I say never ever no matter what cover up beautiful wood (even on damaged pieces) with paint or change the finish of any antique unless that piece of furniture belongs to you or the owner of the piece has given you permission to paint over the wood and is paying you. It is gorgeous.

[@FurnitureFablesbyAndy]

Love this. 😂😂😂👍👍👍
