Washstand Modern Classic Makeover | Recreating The Restoration Hardware Light Oak Finish

[@teresap8865]

I love everything you do, but I have the same thought every time I see a piece finished, "why doesn't she make the inside as beautiful as the outside" My OCD wants the sides of the drawers painted or at least really clean. I understand nobody sees the inside, but its nice to know that if a drawer is ever left half open it will still look great.

[@dorothybahmuller44]

I love the modern look!! Beautiful job!

[@brendennogosek]

Absolutely LOVE the way this piece turned out Christina!!! 💙💖💚💘💜 It is gorgeous & your right.. it definitely needs to be in an entryway for everyone to see!!! 🥰

[@GirasolVintage]

Light stains and natural finishes are so trendy now. Great job! 🌻❤️🌻❤️🌻

[@janetmartin1348]

I am blown away with your skill and creativity. But… my heart kinda cried as you were sanding the original stain on this vanity (is that what it’s called?) The wood was SO beautiful and old pieces like these are hard to find in a such good condition. If the client had wanted just a spit and polish renovation how would you have brought it back to its original lustre and handsomeness? Clean with I mineral spirits and water, put on a coat or two of protective polish and rub it like crazy to make it brand new? One of the things I admire about your work is the studied approach to your process. It’s thorough and precise, and you commit the time it takes to complete a job well done. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I know not everyone’s taste and aesthetic is not the same. I’m sure your friend loves the look and will be so grateful that you brought her vision to fruition. ❤️

[@kalaaybar1217]

This is one of my favorite finishes. You did an amazing job and it is definitely a great collectable for your friends home 😊

[@muscarim]

Stunning! You never cease to amaze me, my love.

[@Vavala3534]

Cute!

[@CopperCactusDIY]

This turned out incredible! I vote paint anything. Wood doesn't always look its best without a little help. This wash is perfect. Your friend is a lucky lady indeed!

[@susanlua1154]

LOL! The wood lovers will come for me! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@cbb_creationsceciliabaca775]

Love it , it’s so beautiful and with the hardware all cleaned up

[@elia-mariaabbott9577]

BEAUTIFUL, little girls princess vanity!

[@nica.rivera]

That is a modern piece of furniture now. I loved it!🛋

[@janetboette7013]

Loved this! Came at perfect time. Trying to redo a home made bookshelf that grandfather made like over 80 years ago. Think is made of different woods as not looking the same colors after sanding. Think I'll try your was technique to unify! Thanks. Love your stuff and vibe!

[@zlatinkaquinones3733]

I love the hardware and the color of the piece of furniture great job thank you for sharing

[@lindabarrette]

So beautiful - and you have made it lovable and useful for this and likely generations to come. A true work of art! 😍

[@mommyof3coffeeandcrafting170]

Wow oh WOW! I love that new modern classic look 😍😍😍 it's absolutely stunning 😍🥰😍🥰!

[@jeffreybelanger3723]

Well done Christina so nice to have you back giving us your tricks of the trade. Love the color wash completely changed the look of that piece.

[@debrabell2604]

I like how it turned out does look updated for sure. I'm one of those that love the beautiful wood grain but see the beauty in updates as well

[@lindafrench4670]

I do like this modern classic look. So pretty! I'm sure your friend loved it! Much prettier than before!

[@elizabethlevine4263]

I love natural wood, but hands down, this piece is beautiful

[@theresavest3722]

Turned out beautiful

[@phyllishume5854]

Beauty. Your techniques are always spot on.

[@victorianladyone4362]

not sure about this one; loved the color of the original and hoped you could sand, refinish by adding wax, but it looks good this way. Just love old wood pieces and can't bear to put paint or paint wash on them.

[@vickiel914]

Me as well. But after watching so many videos, some really make it look better. I do understand lower quality furniture being painted though. Some just can't be saved with sanding and a top coat. This one, I'm mixed about. Love how it turned out, but wonder what it would look like with fresh stain and a top coat.

[@bellepoupee61]

Bonjour Christina, very nice piece, even if I am a wood lover it tuned out beautiful! Your friend is happy, that all it matters! Have a wonderful day, Christine 🇨🇦

[@Donna-vh5ym]

In one word: GORGEOUS

[@margaretmillar7961]

[@natashaapril8693]

WOW! It looks AMAZING! GREAT JOB!!! 😲👏👌

[@lauraspleen6046]

I love natural wood but I much prefer what you did to this piece... Beautiful work as usual

[@massabielle2821]

Hi Christina! This was a lovely makeover, and I am thinking of other projects of mine in which to use your tutorial…….thank you very much! But when I first saw it, I thought it was in such good condition already, and since the wood was basically unblemished, I might have opted for some wax, and just brightened it up with some well-deserved muted shine. For myself, I wouldn’t have painted it, but that’s my take on it.

[@nadineconnors2008]

Absolutely love it!! And that sander!!! 😮😍

[@patticanning5053]

Yes I sure love it!

[@2004marmar]

I like this very much. I’m getting ready to white wash a oak chest. Great job!

[@surfshackcreations3920]

Beautiful as always;) love your work!

[@justinabrown9449]

I like it a lot. I wish you posted a video of the antique china cabinet you refurbished a couple weeks ago.

[@Scott-tn5vn]

I have a dresser set I just picked up. Same hardware. I am going to use the minwax white tint stain and the matte finish on the drawers.

[@garzaesther]

I love what you did, that finish is beautiful!

[@whynotredesign]

Beautiful. Lovely work.

[@ChicAntiquebyHolly]

Love this! Gives me major French country vibes

[@melexanie5403]

When I was 11, my dad did French Polish on a dressing table for me. I am nearly 40 and still have it, and use it :)

[@rosannecuttitta1377]

Yes yes yes. Beautiful!!

[@annmccue4431]

It’s beautiful. I just finished a wash stand which I absolutely love.

[@diandrasklar9686]

Absolutely love it!

[@maryaliceleaphart970]

I wasn't sure about the wash until you added the top coat. Looks nice. I think it would have looked great using the bleaching technique . Your work is always impressive!

[@samuelandjenniferwoo6306]

I am a 'wood lover' :) and I wasn't sure I was going to like this finish... but it is gorgeous! LOL

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

Great makeover

[@suesherman3587]

It’s gorgeous!

[@lorrem2539]

OMG! I have that dresser without the mirror and I think mine may have a veneer. I am so inspired to redo it now! Tfs.

[@TheTygerslair]

So beautiful. I would've added gold gilding wax on the mirror details to tie it together. My preference.😊

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Great idea!

[@vintagesuzy2330]

LOVE IT!!! 😍😍😍

[@debbieturley8673]

[@valeriesnyder97]

I LOVE this!! The updated look is more beautiful than the original. You must be feeling very satisfied with this one, you sure deserve it 💛

[@kathywilson2104]

I keep wanting to give u a tip to keep the wood from splitting when u go to screw them ...it's a old wood worker(my dad) trick...take a bar of soap and the screw and rub the screw in the bar of soap....it works i've used it and never split the wood

[@mannysouza2655]

Loved it!

[@rachelmarsal419]

I think it’s beautiful

[@katherinemorrison3983]

Love this! So, you like your Festool sander better than the SurfPrep? Been investigating sanders and leaning that way...

[@jennifersdoglife]

Inspiration for a piece I own. Thanks so much!

[@karenzelin6150]

Love the raw wood look! Nice job as always!

[@mattiealexander1422]

I like how easy you made it look but after watching some of your competitors I think you could have done 2 coats and finished the inside drawers.
