This Painted Furniture Wouldn't Sell So I Repainted It Barbiecore Pink

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

The most popular question: Did it sell? The short answer is no, but it hasn't been for sale. I've been working on finishing my website and wanted to have this and a few other pieces for my online store. The website is live today and the dresser is now for sale. You can check for yourself to see what price I am selling it at and if it has sold. thatshabbyguy.com/ Thanks for watching!

[@tracieg6986]

Dude, Barbiecore has been the HOT thing all summer, ur crazy not to jump on that lol

[@misterjokertoker5797]

What's amazing is that I am not a fan of anything pink and yet you made me a believer. It looks beautiful.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Oh I entertained many offers but they weren't willing to pay what I'm asking. The right person will come along soon. Notice this video hit well before the Barbie movie came out so I've been on the hype wagon for a bit. Little known fact: I make most of my money from video views, not furniture sales. 😉

@@ThatShabbyGuy Hey there Shabby Guy! I watched your vids for your new teeth. I flew over the handlebars of a bike when I was little and got most of my front teeth knocked out when I hit the curb. My teeth have always been problematic since then. I totally understand that feeling of insecurity about your smile/teeth. Thanks so much for the videos. It answered a lot of questions for me. I want to look into it further (price, time, pain level) thanks to you. Keep making these videos with your furniture. You have a gift for picking the perfect finish/colors for your pieces. Have a great one. Remember to SMILE! 😃😃😃😃😃😃

My daughters room is pink with white crown molding and white carpeting but even a pink ceiling. We actually have this dresser piece with the gold accents but in stark white. We love it. Because the walls aren’t neutral we have lots of white from a whole wall of white bookcases, and we actually have the matching bed and night stand to this. The person who refinished it originally wanted to go with the rustic look that’s popular, but we wanted it to look modern rococo. You now made it look modern rococo. It’s almost creepy that this video popped up literally right after I had ours refinished and it’s still in my Front hall. I haven’t been looking up videos on how to refinish. But now I am wondering what year the furniture originally was from. It’s my childhood furniture that my grandma got used. I’d love it in the hot pink, I was even tempted to go hot pink with the furniture to contrast with the pale pink walls, but instead we just chose some hot pink and gold accents. I feel like I sound like I’m spoiling her, it’s just her personality to care, I have three boys who could care less what their stuff is like and it shows. The motif in their room is snuck candy bar wrappers and snuck empty soda bottles 😂 😭

[@smallfootprint2961]

The color really works for the style of dresser. Someone's going to have a lifetime of fun with this sturdy old well made piece. I can see it being used throughout a girl's life and taking it with her when she has a place of her own. Imagine green plants, and sparkly crystal necklaces... and maybe a lace wedding dress, and her own baby girl to pass it down to. Imagining is fun. This dresser inspires imagination. Good luck.

I lived in Pasadena when I got a dresser like this in the 80s It was second hand So probably dates back to the 1970s

It is actually “Shocking Pink” first introduced by fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli. Great job! 💕

[@poorthing]

Not quite that shade, Elsa's pink was more rose toned- bright, but not this! Imo 💗 This looks to be a true bubble gum pink or as the the creator said 'pepto bismo'. I like the dresser but not either of the color choices. With 'Barbie the movie' coming out, I predict it'll help stir up interest. Don't you think?

I painted one just like that in a barely off white for my granddaughters room which was pale lemon shade with blue accents. I had picked up a pretty 4-poster bed earlier. She was about 8 yrs old and was all into the room makeover shows at the time. I stopped by one day and the posts on the 4-poster bed had been sawed off. There's no telling what her mom let her do to that dresser I took such pains to paint. =D

[@kimberlyciani570]

I have this exact same dresser. It was purchased by my parents in the 1950s. I had it professionally refinished in the green color - like a lighter shade of olive green - and it's in my kitchen now. It holds linens and wine stoppers and a junk drawer. I LOVE this piece and I think the Barbie pink is beautiful.

I do the same thing you do. I really can't stand when someone says that they like the piece but want a different color for free. I don't mind changing color,just not for free. Sometimes its better to give the customer a clean slate and pick their own color. Sometimes I just prime the piece and advertise pick your own color. Pink is a definite great sale color. I have done the same with a entire bedroom set. Im very impressed with your skills. Bravo 👏

Both versions were really pretty, but you were right, in the first version the top was much lighter than the drawers. The pink is really pretty & I think it should sell quite well.

[@Lyndaragirl78]

I really do like the pink and gold combo, but the first thing I would have done is to change the drawer pulls. I know that you made them gold, like the accent, but this would have totally changed the look from vintage to modern. I really believe that the pulls is why the chest of drawers didn’t sell. But this very well might be something that is very desirable since you painted it pink and gold. Best of luck selling this and I hope it sells quickly for you!!!
