Vintage Furniture Makeover with Melange Paints

[@barbaramclean670]

I'm a natural wood gal, but you did a fantastic job on this piece. I'm also in agreement with some of the others, lose the lamp, switch it to an antique lamp.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!! I’ve been loving the natural wood more lately too! Gotta go find a cool new lamp asap

[@KSprague2024]

You are my hero!! You lugged that dresser into your truck by yourself!!❤

[@flippedbyabby]

Not with ease 😆 but thank you!!

[@RrRr-kr2mh]

When are you going to start protecting and taking care of yourself?

[@monicapharo2330]

New subscriber, LOVING your content so much. I have been collecting antiques, refinishing furniture, renovating, building homes for > 40 years… you remind me of myself in many ways. Love how this turned out… for me, I would have also painted the rear of it as well (always do this). This way, if someone wants to ‘Float’ the item in a room vs. having it against a wall sofa table / in a booth) it will look finished 360degrees

[@lizappel5458]

What a great idea!

[@twinnish]

That color on that piece of furniture is perfect. I agree that the hardware is gorgeous. It’s a very beautiful piece of furniture.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thanks so much!

[@gailgrisham7643]

Looks wonderful. Keep it simple. That white lamp is fine. After all it's about the dresser. Not the other "stuff" .

[@flippedbyabby]

Very true! Thank you so much!

[@MariahFlipsFurniture]

Paralysis analysis is so real with pieces that have so much potential 😭

[@flippedbyabby]

I love you LOL sorry I’m so late to respond

[@pretty_ugly__furnishings]

I'm so glad to see this I thought it was just me!! 😂😂😂

[@jyoungmusic23]

great learning how you refurbish furniture, staging is fine, the process is well worth the price you sell it for, great job, I am enjoying the process videos.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!

[@kellykelly7747]

I would buy this dresser in a heartbeat!!! Love everything about it. Great work.

[@RebrushedByMaddison]

This was so fun to watch! I love how you talked everything through! Turned out great too! That color is 🎉

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!! It was really an effort to make it a point to remember to talk to the camera 🤣

[@robertheffernan2209]

Impressive work young lady. I feel like i'm in the garage with you. Thank you for solving my French Provincial dilemma. Orlando FL

[@flippedbyabby]

This is so great to hear! This is exactly what I’m going for with my content 😊 thank you for watching

[@tableflippinghousewife]

I LOVE that dresser. What a great find!!!! The hardware is fantastic! I love green so your paint color gets a big thumbs up for me. Beautiful!

[@flippedbyabby]

Thanks so much!! It is such a well made piece of furniture 😍

[@valeriepearson3885]

This is so great as they don’t make furniture like they used to. You are excellent at this . Your work is spectacular. I am going to refinish a few things in my house as well. Very inspiring.

[@kristincolburn7130]

LOVE this piece!!! Green is my color and this is gorgeous!

[@kimkichinko2445]

Awesome video…European gold is my favourite. Love it applied over black paint. (Something small of course)

[@flippedbyabby]

I think it’s my new favorite too! It’s not overly saturated so it goes great with so many colors

[@oliveyule]

It came out so beautifully. It's interesting to see your whole process and how complicated and tedious everything is. You really need patience, passion, and an eye for design to pull off something like this. Great work!!

[@tinaranson6172]

Very pretty;like it a lot. Also like your voice and video flow and quiet humor. Great job!

[@cindyatwood7144]

love, Love, LOVE how well you explain every step! I learned soooo much. Thank you so very much!

[@jeanlanz2344]

Very pretty work. Nice color and the bow pulls look good with the teal. Talented.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

great color for this piece. Looks great. General Finishes is amazing. Sprays great and all their products are great. I use their Arm-R-Seal on wood. Especially hardwoods. It protects so well. I did finish work at a high end table shop. That's what they used. We sanded our table tops 120, then 180 and three coats of arm r seal. We also had a wine bar that we completely built out. That stuff held up against customer abuse and I was sold forever.

[@flippedbyabby]

I will definitely be using this product again! Especially for natural wood finishes

[@Debba521]

Loved this video. I've been watching furniture makeover videos to help figure out how to refinish two large French provincial lamp tables I inherited from Mom. Not my style at all, but they're family pieces. They're very curvy all over and have the original wood stain finish. I'm nervous about painting them, but it's the only way I can actually like having them in my home. I can't afford all the great equipment you use, but at least I'm getting ideas of how to begin. And I am a complete beginner with this stuff. Gulp... 😬

[@brigidine37]

I really loved the original yellow color, but this green is great. Just wish you'd paint the back as well. I get it, no one sees it, but it would bug me, if it were mine.

[@marykelly4402]

Very inspirational,you are so natural and your work is beautiful big thumbs up from me ,Ireland.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!

[@jeanlannin9828]

You did a great job.I love it.Good luck in the future Love from Canada ❤🎉

[@dawncooper9043]

I love the colour. It looks very rich. You are a true professional. Love from Dawn in the UK 😍 x

[@lindapowers6845]

Love the green

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!!

[@lert74]

You are an artist!

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!!

[@bback4078]

The bones of this piece are amazing- looking forward to making it to the end to see it in a fab color!

[@tinaranson6172]

Cute dresser, I am at beginning of video. Pleasant to look at it.

[@chadbugg3416]

Beautiful. I thought the sheen was spot on. Only thing I am OCD about is cleaning up the dove tail joints. I know they are inside but it matters to me! Great job. Tempted to try Melange paint now.

[@melodywilson5255]

YES!! I had the hardest time with that tent! I had to go to KZbin too. The I realized the instructions are sewn into the bottom of the bag. Beautiful job!

[@GoogleUser-xl3vi]

I love what you did with this piece! It reminds me of something that was in my grandma's house and you gave it a breath of fresh air!

[@dorothybahmuller44]

I love the end results. You are a wonderful teacher for painting furniture. I totally agree with your reasoning for cleaning, sanding, priming etc. Thank you for your experience in the world of furniture restoration.

[@maggiedolly123]

The dresser is beautiful, great job! I had a similar piece that I painted almost the same color back in 1992. Had it for for close to 30 years and never tired of it.

[@charlotterogers1182]

Absolutely gorgeous and so stylish.

[@hickorygolddoc]

Great color both the green and the gold! Really came out nice and updated to fit into a variety of different homes.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!! It’s going to an eclectic home 😊

[@sherimaggielee6205]

Nice pieces….. loading and unloading my biggest issue! Getting help is the best yet as you know it’s not easy to find willing people to help move furniture! I have loaded so many pieces (especially curbside freebies on the fly) lol breaks for FREE stuff left on the roadside or alleys duh 😂

[@trinasthings]

17:38 labeling the drawers is such a great tip. 21:59 European gold is a better look for that dresser 24:43 just keep thrifting for staging & your staging area is fine.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!! I’m sure I’ll come across a cool new lamp or vase soon 😍

[@oreobenavidez953]

Looks so pretty

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!!

[@PointerNation]

Very nice! Love the color!

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!

[@sandraburki-ug7sy]

Your dresser turned out beautifully! You made a really great video also, thank you for sharing with us.❤️

[@JuliaRoberts-s5e]

Love this longer format from you - you’re a natural. This was a great watch all around and obviously a beautiful piece. I hope it sells fast for you! 🎉

[@flippedbyabby]

This means so much to me 🥹 thank you so much for watching!

[@jennyirizarry4901]

Love that color

[@flippedbyabby]

Me too 🥰

[@rachaelsupadventures]

Hi Abby! There was a dresser that is very similar to this one when we moved into our house it is boring and needs a little something. Can't wait to see what you do with this!

[@yolandahernandez2776]

It’s beautiful, you always do such a good job 👍

[@marthaball8029]

Just found your video, you are the real deal! Beautiful work!

[@sandiekaye5241]

New subscriber. Love love this dresser. I am following the bedside table adventure ! I love your ideas and choice of colors.

[@shawndelaney9311]

Beautiful! Love the color. New subbie!

[@flippedbyabby]

[@cawyoutub]

Lovely results. Love the color.

[@LeiaGrace-j4l]

love the color …. can’t wait to try Melange soon

[@maryruther1842]

Excellent delivery! Beautiful work! Thank you for all that you shared. I really appreciate always learning more!

[@BestMuzick]

Get some different types of fabric yardage to drape over your wall of your staging area. Several yards. You can use over and over again and will help with your wall problem. Although neutral colors behind the furniture gives the buyer more options. You can always ask an interior decorator for some advice on some basic colors and patterns that add a little more charm to the display tor the sale. People’s tastes can run eclectic as you may well know but some basics wouldn’t hurt. Even a couple of large pillows leaning against the item on the floor. Dont know much room you have to store things. Still…fabric doesn’t take up too much room and is easy to drape over the wall and swag it. Your staging area looks very nice. Just some options. Also a lighter colored navy blue (lightened) would look as nice as that green. My advice being an artist.

[@dianed805]

Looks gorgeous, great job. Colour and the right gold pulls are perfect. Just a suggestion... i would sand the sides of the drawers to make it look more finished. Not sure if you mentioned that during the video since i sorta skipped through a bunch. In my defense, I'm on break. New subscriber here too. ❤

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much for subscribing!

[@Alina_Qeen710]

The final result is impressive, I loved this video and everything is well explained.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!!

[@katherinechatham9032]

Beautiful job. You really brought it back to life.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!

[@johnnydonaldcarr1847]

Just love your videos. Don't worry the staging looks fine. You make it look so easy but I know your not perfect and not afraid to admit it.

[@marymckellymm]

Beautiful delicate dresser😊

[@armelleaymonin8907]

Your painted furniture looks good. Bravo!

Love that color!

[@contentsweetpea]

I love it, it's beautiful!

[@tinaranson6172]

Looks like a nice primer.

[@laraynekayfes5329]

You might get some pvc corner molding to fasten to your staging wall

[@petegilbert6886]

Very impressive makeover Abby

[@Spiritof62]

Please tell us the color of that paint. It is gorgeous 😍. Excellent job by the way. You are the only flipper that explains how a paint sprayer works, and informative.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!! The paint color is Ponchartrain by melange paints. If you decided to order it my discount code is ABBY10 😊

[@janetrodriguez914]

So pretty, great job!

[@picklemetimbers3003]

General Finish top coats are some of the best on the market. Have a walnut desk I made a while back and the finish is holding up well.

[@anndekhors4160]

Wow what a beautiful piece you did urself proud.love ❤ ur channels well done..

[@SharonBaxter-m9g]

Wow So impressed by your work. This project turned out great.

Lovely colour! Nice job.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bonneymac38]

I love the leaf blower idea!

[@shamrock4500]

Very nice results. For staging, look at the color wheel for complementary colors, for that green, a vase with Big red flowers and that old frame would look great.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much 😊 this is great advice!

[@cindyerickson6120]

It turned our beautiful. Nice job.

Thank you so much!!

[@rasag8]

Love the vibe of your videos :) just a quick note that it is analysis paralysis rather than paralysis analysis. It is when you are paralysed by the amount of analysis you do rather than analysing the paralysis ❤

[@kathyguenther5866]

Very lovely Abby...... Loving that color too!

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you! 😊

[@BeammeupSpotty]

wow!!! you are amazing!!! love your videos. thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@jeanarock6233]

I love how it turned out! Beautiful lines and color. Don’t you paint the ends of the drawer fronts? I think it gives a more finished look when they are open.

[@susanlucero5958]

Looks so good! I love the color!

[@anthonyshurburn7560]

I really like the primer color. I'm not a fan of green furniture, but this turned out beautifully.

[@erinlee7216]

This is FABULOUS!❤❤❤

Thank you so much!

Turned out so great! Nice work!

It turned out so beautiful! 😮

[@sfloris9]

Gorgeous

[@Mary-fy3tc]

I love your videos and your work. you made that dresser GORGEOUS!!! I’ve been painting furniture for resale since 2013. I see a lot of similarities between how we approach things. Especially when you talked about the spray tent! 😂 P.S. I use Melange and General Finishes, also. I LOVE the GF topcoats! I usually mix a bit (up to 10% by the directions, but who knows how much that actually is 😂) into my dark paint when top coating.

[@ritaadams8379]

Lake Pontchartrain is in southern Louisiana, close to New Orleans. You and I would never be able to say it like them. 😅 It's practically a whole other English, and im from the south myself.

[@flippedbyabby]

It’s a very fancy word 🤣

[@dorothybahmuller44]

Beautiful. My sister in law's maiden name is Askew too

[@tradergirl7067]

im suddenly obseseed with empty frames.. a wall of emptry frames would be cool.. i think the stage area looks fab
