Piece of JUNK left out in the rain but I sold it in 12 hours!!

[@deanna777]

Using the nails to give the bondo something to grip to is genius!!!! I will definitely be adding that step. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@VintageAndPainted]

Definitely can’t take credit for that one it was my dad’s suggestion 🥰 glad you found it helpful

[@hmurmaid6560]

Amazing video, five stars for ingenuity, perseverance & up-cycling. Great job I learned a lot!

[@VintageAndPainted]

Glad you enjoyed it! And appreciate you. Thank you 🥰

[@katharineholl3792]

This is absolutely lovely and I love the muted and blended earth colors and aged look! Such a transformation from a piece of junk to something handsome and beautiful! Your end result is very much admired.

[@Lynn-j2b]

This project was labor intensive. You totally were on your game. Loved the video, thanks for showing the steps. I enjoyed the way you explained everything ❤ Thanks for telling us the terrific news about the sale

[@janetrodriguez914]

The foot you fixed does look amazing. I’m happy this piece stayed out of the landfill and now will live on as a beloved piece in its new life. Great job! It was in horrible shape when you got it, you transformed it.

[@VintageAndPainted]

Ahhh Janet thank you so much. It was a unicorn of a find for sure!

[@ritajandj777]

I'm SOOOO encouraged because EVERY project I do I go though the SAME thing. My hubby always reminds me, "You do this EVERY time. Just let go and have FUN!". It looks GREAT.

[@aubreykirk9569]

[@VintageAndPainted]

Hehehe thank you so much Colleen! I’m so glad I came across it, it’s been a game changer for a few of my pieces. Have a lovely week

[@reimagineddesignz]

You nailed this project!! What a gorgeous transformation for a trunk that was literally treated as "junk". It was amazing to see how light the wood is now and how the painting techniques you applied, changed the trunk's personality making it more versatile as décor. It is so rewarding to watch you save pieces from the landfill, not just for our earth, but for the sheer joy of revaluing something that was thought to be a lost cause. You have the awesome ability to assess the structural bones and massage the design until you bring the essence of the piece to the surface. It's so healing, to watch the repairs. I have a serious appreciation for the way you are willing to go beyond what's comfortable, and tackle processes, like wood bleach. You've made me feel brave to step outside my own comfort zone, because the results are truly worth it. This is one of my favorite pieces of all time! ❤

[@VintageAndPainted]

Ahhh Cassie thank you lovely!! I wasn't sure there for a minute that I was going to finish it! Happy I did though!!! You blow me away with what you said it is so kind...I don't really think I do anything special...just trying my best not to make it worse 😆 but that said I really do appreciate your encouragement! And the fact that it is your favourite makes my day xx

[@jhohnke]

Thank you for saving this beautiful Lane cedar chest. I have one handed down from my Mom, and I cherish. It is now at my daughter's house, and Im hoping will be handed down to one of my granddaughters. Your hard word and persistance certainly paid off. Great job.

[@VintageAndPainted]

Oh, I love that having a cedar chest handed down from your mum. That’s so special to be able to pass it on to your granddaughters

[@sophiachristo7546]

The foot repair is amazing! The piece is awesome!!!!! The colors and the texture are so interesting! I absolutely love it! It's a bit like rusted without the red tones of rust but still it's very alive... like a metal decomposition ! Your efford and trials were worth it ! This chest was like a blank canvas and you made unique and Sarah style! Thanks so much for sharing. I love that you have the confidence and the boldness to redo a piece ...

[@VintageAndPainted]

Ahhh Sarah style 😍🥰 thank you Sophia you’re the best. So glad you enjoyed the whole process

[@VintageAndPainted]

The inside was in such good shape. Just needed a little reapplication of cedar oil

[@margaretpage2445]

Super impressed with your perseverance! Love the finish- thought it was perfect for the style of the chest. Thanks for sharing all the tips.

[@VintageAndPainted]

Thanks so much Margaret

[@charlotted6247]

Wow. That is stunning. Imagine how many people will try to replicate the finish you just put on that. She is beautiful and I know I would have wanted to keep it also.

[@VintageAndPainted]

Ahhh Charlotte thank you that’s so lovely 🥰

[@brendabarber]

I think the most important thing is to enjoy ourselves because if not it becomes work and that’s not the goal. Such a beautiful piece, you always do such a great job 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@VintageAndPainted]

I totally agree Brenda and I think too that when we enjoy ourselves that shows up in the finished piece too 🥰 have a beautiful week

[@melodienaber3238]

Not a fan if the finish but still beautiful. Thank you for saving the piece from the landfill. How you rolled with each curve the piece threw at you, perseverance won!❤

[@VintageAndPainted]

I appreciate that thank you Melodie. Definitely not everyone’s cuppa for sure.

[@sharonhendricks9706]

Wow, that foot-fix was spot on! Good for you for having the vision to rescue this piece but even if it never became reality, you would still have had multiple pieces of nice wood out of it and still for free. I can appreciate the finish you did, even though it isn't something I personally could use. Good job! And congratulations on getting a great price for it, too🤩

[@MrsJax304]

Sarah this is my style all day long. I think it's one of my favorites. Up there with your wardrobe .. I'm glad you put your heart into it and trusted yourself.

[@eleanoreagly4844]

creating a mould to create a bondo replacement for the missing piece of the foot is one thing learned that I may use in the future. I have a free secretary desk/dresser combo that a dog has chewed a corner and am going to give the hot glue mould making a try. It is a piece that I want to keep for myself, it likely is from the late 40s and have seen one for $700.. Still trying to decide whether to scuff sand and paint, or to strip, stain, and poly. I love natural wood. Thank you for posting the video.
