Vintage Furniture Makeover with Melange Paints

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@kellykelly7747]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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?

[@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!!

[@kristincolburn7130]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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 🤣

[@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!

[@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... 😬

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@cindyatwood7144]

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

[@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.

[@colleenbuechler6080]

You are REALLY good at painting! I'm impressed!!!

[@Alina_Qeen710]

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

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!!

[@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 😊

[@marthaball8029]

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

[@maryruther1842]

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

[@sandiekaye5241]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@anthonyshurburn7560]

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

[@marykelly4402]

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

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!

[@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 🤣

[@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

[@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!

[@armelleaymonin8907]

Your painted furniture looks good. Bravo!

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you! 😊

[@lindapowers6845]

Love the green

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!!

[@pumu7752]

Antique furnitures made by hand tools those times also used cashew nut oil ,neem oil,and bee wax environmentally friendly so it with stand more than 500 years

[@lert74]

You are an artist!

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!!

[@anndekhors4160]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

Love that term! You do very good work!

[@tradergirl7067]

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

[@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.

[@pattyvoni]

Love the piece and the color

[@kathyguenther5866]

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

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you! 😊

[@katherinechatham9032]

Beautiful job. You really brought it back to life.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!

[@petegilbert6886]

Very impressive makeover Abby

[@thedantzler6554]

❤You did a great job! Beautiful! And thanks so much for explaining each step you are taking. So helpful AND ENCOURAGING!

[@flippedbyabby]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@lydiakinnaman3679]

B E A U T I F U L L. !!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL LOVE THE COLOR.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!!! Me too 😍

[@noreenhopkins972]

Love that color!

[@flyinhawaiian7226]

No go on white lamp. Try a beautiful thrift vase. You did an excellent job.

[@flippedbyabby]

Great idea!! Looking for something else as we speak!

[@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 😊

[@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 ❤

[@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!

[@dorothybahmuller44]

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

[@susanlucero5958]

Looks so good! I love the color!

[@user-mf7iy2jb7l]

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

[@PointerNation]

Very nice! Love the color!

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!

[@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.

[@trinasyoutube]

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 😍

[@shawndelaney9311]

Beautiful! Love the color. New subbie!

[@flippedbyabby]

Yes, adorable pulls. Yes, do not destroy pieces by changing original pulls. Thanks

[@janetrodriguez914]

So pretty, great job!

[@larrygizinski9378]

love the color

[@bonneymac38]

I love the leaf blower idea!

[@annettabaker2862]

I agree with everyone else the lamp just isn’t cutting it. Try a nice vase instead. The dresser is gorgeous I love the color

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!! I a large vase would be perfect 😍

[@scrappyquilter102]

Lovely colour! Nice job.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!!

[@kimkristensen2816]

You do absolutly stunning work.

[@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.

[@spsutherland7527]

Your green French Provincial dresser looks regal! You don't like to stage so much but I love it!

[@flippedbyabby]

Oh thank you so much!

Turned out so great! Nice work!

[@IMOO1896]

Lovely

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you!

[@AcornHillHomestead]

Beautiful job. Yes, the lamp needs to be one with more personality and maybe get two different styles for different furniture pieces. 😉. You can also layer several empty frames and set them on top of the dresser.

[@BeammeupSpotty]

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

[@charlenegoskowicz8220]

Beautiful!

I'm binging your videos because I'm going to start some flips where I'm at. You do a great job! I'm needing to pit together some staging panels like yours. Suggestions on what to get?

[@boele0707]

Well done Abby!! Subscribed...

[@JenniferSibley-xo8yy]

Loved this video! I’m a beginner myself and this was great for me! Louisiana girl here helping you with all of our unique words: Ponchartrain is pronounced Ponch-uh-train😊

Thank you!! I have no idea what that word even means 😂

So beautiful!

That paint job is magnificent!! Don't love the lamp 😞

Thank you!!! It is time for an update on the lamp lol 😆 but it was freeeee

This would have looked very beautiful in a french grey.

[@rhondafisher72]

Hi, I'm new to your channel, I wanted to let you know you do beautiful work. I love that color.

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you so much!

[@diyfferent]

You did a great job, but it seems like you would have to live in a pretty high-end location to get $650 for a used dresser. Everywhere we have lived, I would have a hard time getting even $200 for it. That's the thing I never understand about furniture flippers, is how they find people to pay those high prices.

[@flippedbyabby]

At this point, it’s hardly a “used dresser”

[@diyfferent]

@@flippedbyabby I didn't mean it as a negative thing. I just mean in general, I don't think I could even sell a new dresser for that much. It's just interesting to see how much the market can vary from area to area. You are in the right place for your job!

[@flippedbyabby]

Thank you! What area are you in? This is a pretty reasonable price for furniture in the US

[@MegaFeisty1]

I've watched other refinishers and they put some of the dark colour of the paint into the varnish to prevent the issues you mentioned. I'm no pro. Just suggesting a fix that seems to work for others.

[@flippedbyabby]

I did that!

[@nadirschulz6701]

Great job! 🌷🌷

[@patb5889]

I like the color
