They Painted THESE?! | Saving Vintage Lane Brutalist Nightstands

[@poison_ivy1000]

Best decision i ever made was to hand these over to you. Thank you for giving them justice they desperately needed and I had zero time and patience for. Love you Lisa!!!

[@ivylane-home]

Girl, I KNOW you would have done them justice, but thanks for letting me give it a go. 🤩🙌🏼

[@sandyleet1]

This piece looked like 2X4 slapped together I would never have thought it was worth anything Your patience is amazing.

[@ivylane-home]

Right?! Who would have thought they were iconic. 🤷‍♀️ Google lens is my friend for identifying rare pieces. 😊

[@pattyk101]

I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to say it out loud. Thanks

[@ivylane-home]

😅🙌🏼

[@kayhenry6293]

They turned out beautifully! Matte finish was the way to go. For all of the work you put into them, I’d ask high.

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks Kay!! I really love the matte finish! 🤩

[@kathyandthedogs626]

OMG. You did an awesome job. Your skill and perseverance are admirable. These are beautiful. You should be able to get maximum value for these!

[@ivylane-home]

Ah, thanks Kathy! You are kind 🤩🙌🏼

[@tinamcelyea5972]

At least your 30-minute mistake was fixable. I love these two night stands😅​@ivylane-home

[@ivylane-home]

Ha, true 😅

[@ViKee010]

Your channel should be The Patient Flipper. Lol. It’s the truth though. Some would never take the time to do the things you do correctly and it’s mainly what is required with some flips. This one lets your talent shine. Just lovely. ✌🏻🤍🤞🏽

[@ivylane-home]

Ha! Some days I don’t feel patient. 😅 Doing a little bit at a time seems to make it manageable. They were a challenge, but I’m pleased with them considering where they started

[@angicatron8512]

😮 that was a lot, but you did it again. The mat finish looks great! For the amount of work you put in $1500 sounds about right👍🏻

[@ivylane-home]

I was tired just editing the video 🤣 So much work. I love the matte too!!🤩

[@pattyk101]

matte not mat

[@angicatron8512]

@ 😂 sometimes talk to text Just isn’t always the greatest thing thank goodness it was at least a sound alike 😂 thanks

[@BridgetStuart]

These are simply stunning. You and Sabina truly rescued these!

[@ivylane-home]

We definitely tried! 😊

[@diamondperidot]

The mat finish was the perfect touch.

[@ivylane-home]

I think so too!!🤩

[@georgettelamb4613]

I like the matte finish. They turned out beautifully! What a lot of work, you have the patience! Wow.

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks Georgette! I think the matte finish makes it for me. 🤩

[@kbreckan]

I am amazed! You did a great job. I would have given up and repainted them. I admire you for persisting!!

[@ivylane-home]

I was tempted 😉😊🤩

[@cupcakesonrainydays]

Woow. This was a difficult task. Well done it looks beautiful. All that little corners😮. You are truly talented.

[@ivylane-home]

The corners 😩 They were a mess, but I’m happy with them now. 😊

[@MrVince8]

Beautiful! Well worth all the hard work.

[@ivylane-home]

I think so! 😊🤩

[@sophiachristo7546]

A LOT OF WORK!!!!! BEAUTIFUL RESTORATION! They were awful but you made them GORGEOUS!

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks Sophia! I was happy with the end results 😊

[@ellenfoster9764]

You are a very good teacher. Thank you for sharing things that did not work for you. You are so right about toning and the mat finish. Really made the pieces.

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks Ellen! I love the final product. 😊🙌🏼

[@tristavalentour7575]

I guess you could say restoring that Brutalist set was quite brutal! Oh someone had to say it! 😂 I am always amazed at your patience Lisa. Seriously you sand and sand…sometimes with little tiny pieces of sandpaper just so you can get a difficult area. Kudos on an excellent job! I like the matte finish on this set. 🦋

[@ivylane-home]

Oh gosh, you’re right! It was brutal! I think I’m still recovering 🫠 I love the matte too!

[@debbieethridge6747]

Wow, you did it again. Yes, I like the mat finish. I have never seen night stands like these. Great job. ❤

[@pattyk101]

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks so much! 😊 I think the matte finish is what put it over the top for me 🤩

[@andresesteves4499]

Awesome 👏 $2000 easy 🎉! Love them you did an excellent job

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks so much!! 😊🙌🏼

[@thecolibridesign]

The matte finish was the prefect choice! You did a fantastic job!

[@ivylane-home]

I agree, Kai! I love matte 🤩

[@designabeej]

Great job Lisa 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I admire ur patience & attention to detail…all that sanding, stripping etc would’ve killed me 😩

[@ivylane-home]

Oh gosh, they were a mess. I think I’m still recovering 🫠

[@jackiecollins4458]

Wow. Respect. Brilliant end result

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks so much!! 🤩🙌🏼

[@esvintagerehab]

These really turned out amazing! Such a great save and your patience is inspiring ❤

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks, Elissa! It was a long process, but so worth it.

[@dianah.2684]

Excellent restoration job Lisa, well done!

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks Edna!! 🤩😩

[@MARYBOORMAN]

Bravo - you are without a doubt ..... a bona fide WOOD WIZARDESS! You did a remarkable job with these two! I hope you get every penny you deserve for these two pieces! Great tutorial ... especially emphasizing the importance of checking the wood grain direction before sanding etc. :-)

[@ivylane-home]

Aw, thanks Mary!! They were a lot of work, but I’m SO pleased 🤩

[@RustyandUnhinged]

Beautiful job. They look amazing. Patience paid off…I hope! ❤

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks! Yes, we’ll see if I find a buyer 🤞🏼

[@saraocampo9066]

Wow what a journey, beautiful end.

[@ivylane-home]

Indeed 🫣 Thanks!

[@pattiobrien5408]

Hi. I started refinishing my furniture about 6 months ago. I over prepare watching a million how to videos. I watched one about sanding that was really enlightening. It seems obvious but, he said if your orbital sander slows down it’s not doing it’s job and there’s too much pressure on top. I have the same sander as you and was amazed at how little pressure it takes to slow it down. I noticed that happening to yours too. I hope this is helpful. I’ve never seen this type of furniture. It turned out fantastic 😊

[@ivylane-home]

Yes, I have watched SO many videos on my sander. I’ve turned down the suction on my dust extractor, adjusted my speed, move my hand so I don’t press down. Ugh! I also saw that this has a built in wobble. I might switch to a different model

[@pattiobrien5408]

@ I’ve heard their customer service is excellent. Give them a call. 😊

[@pinkgogoboots]

Wow. Great job👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ivylane-home]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kathleennagwak1761]

Beautiful job. Great restoration.

Thank you very much, Kathleen!

[@pattio.656]

I LOVE your channel❣️ These are Gorgeous‼️

[@ivylane-home]

Ah, thank you!! 🥰🙌🏼

[@RebrushedByMaddison]

I’m only a few minutes in and I’m feeeeeling for you on this one! I can’t wait to see how they turn out! I feel like you strip so much furniture- have you looked into a sandblaster or something similar?

[@armelleaymonin8907]

Absolutely magnificent! Bravo!

[@ivylane-home]

Oh, it was a mess 😩 I have looked into it, but I work out of my garage and it’s so messy. I think if I had a workshop or access to an outdoor space, I would try it.

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks so much!! 🤩🙌🏼

[@VirginiaBarber-nv9hj]

Beautifully done!

[@ivylane-home]

Thank you very much! 🙌🏼☺️

[@cookiepfeffer8196]

I think they turned out beautiful ! What a lot of prep work. Not sure I would have gotten through a fast as you did. It probably would have take me a month.💖💖💖💖

[@ivylane-home]

Oh gosh, it was tedious 🙃 I really liked the final product

[@ellenwitko3734]

Grit(!) and determination! Came out great! You are definitely gaining in veneer and color expertise. Hope you get a lot for these.

[@ivylane-home]

Thank you so much, Ellen! I learn something new on each piece 😊🙌🏼

[@RonDavidson-c3h]

Well done!

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks so much!! 🤩🙌🏼

[@charlenegoskowicz8220]

They are lovely! The basic case construction of particle board kind of surprised me, though. You certainly earned every cent of whatever you decide to sell them for. I admire your patience.

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks Charlene! Yes, it was surprised too. I’m working on another Lane and it has the same particle board base, weird!

[@killy1958able]

Lovely 😊

[@ivylane-home]

Thank you! 😊

[@amysvob3066]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@margotjones7168]

I love Brutalism and you did an incredible job; they are beautiful❣️❣️❣️ If I were on the hunt for Brutalist pieces, I would pay $1800 to $2000 grand for this set

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks Margot!! I’m gonna list them on Etsy. We’ll see 😊

[@pattyk101]

$2000 grand would be $2,000,000.

[@catherine5166]

You’re right about the matte finish. You did a great job. As far as what they’re worth? I personally don’t like them at all, so IDK. Please let us know what you get for them and the amount of interest they get. Kudos again for your patience on this piece.

[@ivylane-home]

Ha!! Yes, they are not everyone’s style, for sure. I will update everyone on the post tab when I sell them!

[@teresacathey8189]

Hello Lisa. As usual, you did a fabulous job!! You definitely put in a lot of work on your pieces. Awesome job gurl!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@ivylane-home]

Aw, thanks Teresa! 🤩🙌🏼

[@justjulee9135]

This was totally amazing! I still don't know how you have the patience to stick with a project like these, but you did such a wonderful job! I don't know your market, but I think I would price them high. That way you have room to go down if you need to. 😊

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks Julee, these were tough to get through, but I’m pleased with them. Good advice 🙌🏼

[@julielamere9282]

Wow, They look awesome! You are NOT afraid of commitment! 🤣🥰🥳 I would LOVE to hear how your profit turns out for you with buy in, products used, time spent etc. I'm soaking up all the information your share in all your videos and getting ready to start flipping some furniture on my own when we move to our retirement home this summer in northern VT!

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks Julie! I’ll write it up in the post section when they sell!

[@OpenYourEars2012]

In the time period these were made the dark finish was in, right? I think leaning toward the original color when it is a designer type piece would be the correct choice. Surprised with how well they turned out. Great job!

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks! I would have liked them to be a bit lighter, but with the damage on the fronts I went darker. In the end, I liked them and they are still better than where they started 😊🙌🏼

[@lesleywatkins1172]

Oh my, you have the patience of a saint! I’d have put them in a skip! They are striking tho! Beautiful statement pieces! xx

[@ivylane-home]

It was tempting, Leslie. 😩🫣 Thanks!

[@KathyJensen-i1h]

Amazing

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks, Kathy!! 😊

[@amybarker2385]

Wow!

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks Amy!

[@Zibutegerard]

GREAT job! Have you tried a heat gun for stripping? Or using saw dust to absorb the stripper?

[@ivylane-home]

I have used a heat gun before. Sometimes I forgot to pull it out. Thanks for the reminder! No, I’ve never tried the sawdust to absorb 🤷‍♀️

[@ihgo4819]

I thought any kind of hard wax oil type product was supposed to be the final coat ? Will the finishes you sprayed over that not really adhere permanently? I'm confused.... but anyway, they turned out really nice in the end.

[@ivylane-home]

If you wait long enough in between applications you can layer finishes. That’s why they took so long to finish!

[@ihgo4819]

@@ivylane-home Thank you for your answer on this! 🙂

[@epvs8373]

lisa: Algo Que parecía sencillo ... no lo ha sido. Este Canal ES así. Buen trabajo.

[@ivylane-home]

I feel like that on each flip 🫣 Thank you! 😊

[@estm7481]

You can use a nylon brush paint in the small areas, with stripper. A lot of work. It's too dark for me but it's not bad. Have a good day 😊🌷☀

[@ivylane-home]

I used all kinds of tools to try to get that paint off! 🫣 What a mess. Yes, others felt they were too dark too. 🙌🏼😊

[@pmg7538]

They look great. I"m a Brutalist fan and love the sculptural look of them. I don't think they're too dark and agree totally on the matte finish. I pretty much hate glossy on furniture. As for price, is the $1500 for original condition in great condition? If so, I might ask $2500 for both, allowing a discount for the repairs. Great job.

[@ivylane-home]

Thank you! I think the sculptural element is what I love most. 🤩🙌🏼

[@mercedesvillanueva8988]

Please let us know how much you end up listing these for! And how you decided on the price and accounting for shipping! You did such an amazing job and I’d love to see how the rest of the process 😊❤

[@ivylane-home]

I listed them for $1800 locally. On Etsy they are listed for $2700 and that includes $650 for shipping and $250 to cover the fees. They will have to pay sales tax on top of that. I do include verbiage in the listing that there is a discount for local pickup and states adjoining Oklahoma. This is my starting point. I’ll give it a few weeks and see what kind of interest I have. If I need to adjust the price, I will.

[@carolinethompson6564]

Maybe the next time when you run across a project that has wooden plaque like fixture you might try taking off the plaque to making stripping easier.

[@ivylane-home]

Hmm, I’m not sure how they were adhered. I’d be concerned that I’d ruin them. 🫣

[@anamartinez5158]

In another video I watch this lady using ZEP PAINT STRIPPER, and I notice the paint came so easily. I will try it next time, I have use so many different paint removers and nothing work like the one in the video.

[@ivylane-home]

I’ve not seen a paint stripper by Zep . 🤷‍♀️

[@cherylacampora670]

U really worked your butt off but they look fantastic!

[@ivylane-home]

I did! Them were SO much work 😩

[@williamfernandez5170]

Great job at the end… I think General finishes antique walnut followed by Mohawk glaze would have given you a better tone but nonetheless at the end it looks great! But the big question.. how much did they sell for ?

[@ivylane-home]

Yes, I would have preferred just a bit lighter. Oh well, they are still much better than where they started 😅 I’m going to list them on Etsy, so we’ll see 😊

[@williamfernandez5170]

@ what’s your Etsy shop name ?

[@ivylane-home]

Ivy Lane Home LLC. 😊🙌🏼

[@Restorations.by.Rachel]

Wow, Lisa. Way to stick with it! Those are what furniture stripping nightmares are made of!🥴 They turned out great! I say if you see them listed for $1,500 individually that they’d have to be worth more than 2x as a set.🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks girl! Nightmares, indeed! 😩 I’ll list them on Etsy. We’ll see 🤞🏼

[@gretchen_needs_a_dog]

You did a beautiful job and I think they look fabulous. Seems like a set would be more valuable than a single piece, so if 1 is listed for $1500, maybe go for $3500? But I’m not experienced. I just hope you make enough to cover the cost of your patience. ❤

[@ivylane-home]

Thank you! I’m going to list them on Etsy so we’ll see 🤞🏼

[@michellesutton202]

It's a little too dark for me. The gorgeous veneer is hidden. I understand why, cause of the repairs. But I would have left it before you toned it so heavily. It was gorgeous. You did a great job, considering all the damage that was there😊😊😊

[@ivylane-home]

I wish it had been a bit lighter too. The top and sides were beautiful with no stain. Those fronts though 🫣 They definitely look better than where I started. 😅

[@michellesutton202]

@ivylane-home oh for sure!!! I also agree that the matte finish was a better choice than the glossy. You should be super proud of what you accomplished on these pieces. 😍😍 Even with the snaf u with the glue, the veneer turned out awesome!!!

[@kenbad8271]

Great restore you worked hard on these I would have passed on them especially because of the doors they are way to busy looking to much wood which is for one thing very thick yeah not a fan of those doors.

[@ivylane-home]

Those doors were the worse 😩🫣🙃

[@gregpendrey6711]

These end tables needed to be in thier original state. They made absolutely no sense with paint. They are rescued now. 😊

[@ivylane-home]

I know! 😩 I wish I had found them before they painted them.

[@gailnye9791]

Yes, $1500.00 seems fair. The tables are really different and you need to make some money! Awesome job!

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks! I’m going to list them on Etsy so we’ll see 🤞🏼

[@jamiekatz7591]

I am really surprised Lane used particle board for the base. I would have replaced it with real wood. Yes, more work but so much better.

Thanks Dorothy! 😊

[@ThePtlhome]

All of you furniture flippers on KZbin, START USING WOOD CONDITIONER before staining. It's the difference between an unprofessional finish and a rich, deep, even, professional looking finish! All of that work just to falter in the end by missing this one step. - Shame.

[@ivylane-home]

I use wood conditioner for water based stain and penetrating oil stains, but gel stain sits on top of the wood and I follow General Finishes protocol of a slip coat of mineral spirits before applying the gel stain.

[@Jeeperskip]

No. Too dark and you cannot see any of the woodgrain detail. You might just as well have painted them brown.

[@ivylane-home]

Others mentioned the same. I would have liked a lighter tone, but with the damage I’m pleased overall. They are definitely better than where I started. 😅

[@judierickson7166]

That is a lot of slog work! People: dont paint stuff unless it is the last resort. You always make everything gorgeous again!

[@ivylane-home]

Thanks Judi! I sure try! 😊🙌🏼

[@memecats5698]

Maybe you need a real chemical stripper versus a safer one, sometimes you just have to go further yuck. Lol

[@ivylane-home]

The Jasco was a real chemical stripper. 😩 That paint was SO hard to get off. I wonder if it was chalk paint 🤔

[@ifga16]

You put too much work into these things to suggest a match and some gasoline. Whatever you list them for, do a best offer. The moment I saw particle board, aka glued sawdust, in the makeup it was over for me.The brutal look is, we hired a couple of furniture designers who are drunks and can't get rid of them.

[@ivylane-home]

Ha! Tell me how you really feel 🤣 I love the style, but I think it’s an acquired taste kind of thing.

[@haybonvan3116]

I found a brutalist tall boy for $40. Bad stain job, nail holes and dog chew marks on the bottom. It's so heavy I want to work on this, but im so intimidated with having fibromyalgia and limited funds.

[@ivylane-home]

They are heavy! I try to take doors off and take drawers out to make it as light as possible. Then I put it on furniture Dollies and work on one side at a time but I can still roll it around easily.
