A Life Refurbished
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2021
On this channel I will take you along as I refinish pieces of furniture that have been neglected and damaged. After all, don't we all need a second chance? Perhaps, "A Life Refurbished" can be better than the previous life. You can expect a lot of tutorials on painting techniques, furniture repurposing and DIY's.

Wow! Thanks for sharing. This will be a multi watch video for me! I would love to see a tour of your workspace. I also work in a garage space and could use some tips on managing flow and cleanup. What do you use for dust collection? And… your pup is so cute!
Yes I would I loved it.
It turned out great!
I must admit I was questioning when I saw you pull out the primer but it came out beautifully. Great job. Love the smoky stain.
@@lfuentes4098 Thank you, glad you liked it.
Nicely done! ❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Stunning. Absolutely stunning
I really love it. So elegant and beautiful!
Use black paint😄
3rd time's a charm
@@MaudeneFelty-Gunderson-wm6zf Agree! 😊
I’m so glad you did this! I have a desk and chest in this exact style. I’ve been wanting to redo them and sell them as they just don’t fit in my house anymore. This is the best look I’ve seen for them! You nailed the PB look! 🦋
@@tristavalentour7575 Glad you liked it! Thank you.
very sharp
Thank you! 😊
🤩🤩🤩 awesome !!!
I’m glad you liked it!😊
Very Nice.
Thanks! 😊
Very nice!
Wow great job!
GOOD JOB!
Fantastic job! It looks so good!
I'm glad you like it!😊
This is beautiful! ❤
I'm glad you liked it! 💖
Wow! I have done several of these EA small dressers. I have always painted that plastic top the same color as the body or left the top and painted the body. I am in awe that you got the top to match the raw body using Retique it. I can’t tell in the description which Retiqueit colors/peoducts you used. Do you mind telling me exactly what you used?
@@danielleweston1492 Hi! I used the light wood primer, and the light wood retique it.
Whoa!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
A great transformation and upgrade. You made a very good and informative video. Best wishes for Christmas Alison
@@alisonwebster6694 Thank you so much Alison!
That is stunning❤
@@jodenabeale4355 Thank you!
I have the matching tall boy dresser and was planning to finish it exactly the same way, even the hardware I ordered is almost identical. Will also be cutting the base with my jigsaw. I love your work, and I feel confident of my choices seeing how beautiful yours turned out!
I think you are going to love how yours turns out! And thank you for your kind words, I’m glad watching helps you feel confident. ❤
So gorgeous love that you ultered the base bottom . You gave it character 😊
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the base transformation!
This is GORGEOUS!! You completely transformed this piece!! I hope that you make a HUGE PROFIT on this!! You deserve it!! ❤❤
Thank you! I hope so too! 😊
Love it so much! I still haven’t tried Re-tique it yet. P.s. So sorry about you pretty hat! Those doodles 🤪
Haha yeah, after chewing one pair of leather shoes, a few towels and socks, she’s starting to get better. 😁 And I think you’ll find working with retique it kind of fun.
Your finished results are always spot on! Beautiful colors and great choice of hardware as well. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you and your family too! 😊
The base made so much difference! Great job!
Thanks! I’m happy you agree.😊
Wow! You indeed came very close to your inspiration photo. It is like icing on the cake for 2024 makeovers… loved the hardware. And as far as investment goes, free is always welcomed. I trust you’ll sell this one quickly.
Thanks so much! I really loved how it turned out! And yes, this one was in such a great shape when I picked it up that it counts as FREE! Some free ones make me pay for them in sweat and time. 😊
I really enjoy that you start the journey from the beginning - where you pick up the furniture. I think that is a great place to start - it does make it more like a story. Good job there! Your teaching is also great, especially helping us out by showing mistakes and how to correct them. Your RetiqueIt technique was really superior! The drill will chase Luna away. Maybe store your hat next to it! 😂 the dresser is beautiful in the end. 🎉
Thank you! I actually enjoyed showing all behind the scenes. I’ll try to do that more. Haha Luna acts tough, but in reality she’s such very shy, and loves to crew…obviously. 😁

My dog, a golden retriever, is obsessed with my hat. She’ll steal it off my head when I’m sitting down putting on my boots! She wants to eat the Pom Pom!! 😂😂
Haha yes! I have mittens that have fur and Luna goes crazy, so funny. 😁
Great job !!!!!!!!
@@melodiedudgeon7149 Thanks!
Very sleek and modern looking. 👍
Thank you, I'm glad you like the modern look!😊
It looks beautiful thanks for sharing ❤
I'm so glad you liked it! 💖
It looks beautiful! Really really great! When it comes to redoing the base, I find that a 90° angle is problematic. It’s harder to do, and then it allows a look underneath the cabinet that shows the side rails. I feel like an angled cut is better. More like a 60° angle cut helps hide that underneath infrastructure and looks really cool. The other option is to bring your 90° cut in an inch or two on each side. Instead of putting it so far wide make it a little bit less wide of a new opening and that works too.
@@Kerrin77JIH maybe I’ll try an angle cut next time. And yes! 90° angles are more challenging than wavy or any other. 😊
That came out great! And what a good choice to cut legs into the toekick, that really brought it into the 21st century. ❤
Thanks so much, I really loved how the toekick turned out!😊
Wow, beautiful job. Question: do you tint your primer yourself by adding a bit of the Retique it to it? I have an end table with a laminate top and real wood sides that I am going to use retique it on, you tinting the primer that similar color is a good idea:)
The hardware staff at the counter where they mix paints can tint it for you in whatever color you want. Checkout my nightstand video, maybe 2 o 3 videos back, I showed exactly how I landed on this color.
@ I will look back for it. Thank you so much.
Beautiful. Live watching your channel. You are an artist.
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed it here, glad to have you!
It turned out gorgeous! I'd say you nailed it with the beautiful finish, looks like real wood! The drawer pulls adds that extra pop perfectly! You always do amazing work! Love how you explain your technique! Awesome job! 😊❤
Thanks, I appreciate you liking the finish! 😊
Your judgement is good. I like how you made the choices and show mistakes and then how you fix 'em. Free to valued by the buyer and all of us. Good teacher and Momma to that pup. Your husband was good to help in the pick up. Would have been hard for me to do it myself. Thsnk you. Those classes are working for you.
❤ it!!! 😍
Thank you!
Great! I have the same dresser that I picked up from the dump! It had been rained on and looked like it was in a garage, sprayed w black on the front. A mess! I am still planning what to do with it... Your video was a great inspiration. Thank you!
Wow! I’m surprised you found such a piece in the dump! They’re solid and there are so many looks you can accomplish with them. Have fun with your project!
Stunning! Would love to know your time, labor, and material costs and what you sell it for!
Thanks! I would say I spent 7 hours total. And maybe $50.00 in materials, including handles. I’m hoping I can make a profit of $450.00
Beautiful ❤
Thanks so much!😊
It turned out fabulously! I love the colors you chose. I’ve never seen a base piece come of so easily and the over-cuts disappeared completely. Great job.
Thank you!! I was so glad it came off as easy as it did. It doesn’t happen often that the process goes this smooth. 😊
The edge molding is common. That was produced most likely in vt Ethan Allen plants. The one in beecher falls vt is still open.
Beautifully done. It came out very nice.
Thank you!
Gorgeous!!! I appreciate how you showed the product for each step.
Hi..great job done !...sorry I had trouble understanding the name of cladding on top drawes..did u call it bull wrap? Greetings from Australia..
Thank you! It’s pole wrap 😊
