It's hard to believe that this chest of drawers was hidden under that hideous lemon yellow paint. I love the stain you chose, so warm. I like that you saved the "fancy" knobs - they are so unique and really are like a statement piece of jewelry on a beautiful dress. As always, I just love your attention to detail. You are my favorite furniture saver. Have a wonderful week.
Thank you so much 🥰 you have a great week as well
That looks like the original finish...the yellow was once white. It was supposed to look like ash.
Probably original finish, that was the style back then.
I’m just
Who would have thought this beautiful wood was under that old finish! The gold edging is a very nice (and smart) design touch. ⭐️ I’m glad you honored the old knobs.
Somehow you manage to get the perfect balance in your editing... ! and the gold trim makes the 2 larger knobs look intentional rather than awkward. Excellent idea!
Thank you so much for saving the knobs with the needlework inserts. Your patience, stick-to-it-tiveness and attention to detail has once again rewarded us with a beautiful creation. I am sure I am not alone in saying that I would have given up and just painted the darn thing and called it a day. I am so grateful for your videos.
Wow the dresser looks amazing, you put so much work into every item you transform.
Thank you 😊
Your attention to detail and your tenacity with this project shows why you are so admired for what you do.
🥰🧡
What an absolutely fantastic transformation! Those blonde pieces are so difficult to strip and you did a great job bringing this one around.
You did a tremendous amount of work on this old dresser & it really paid off! It’s stunning!!
Thank you 😊 and thanks for watching 💛
@@Flippingdrawers I can’t wait for your new videos! You know that 😊 I’m a huge fan of your channel! I’m subscribed to many channels, but yours is my most anticipated. I can’t explain it, but your work inspires me so much! Obviously not just me, your channel has exploded, so talent isn’t outdated yet 🥰
That little lady made you work! And those embroidered knobs are right up my design alley. Looks absolutely lovely, Jay. And the bonus of fur managers and warrior assistant made it that much more wonderful to watch! LOL
Your attention to detail really shows with this dresser. What a fantastic job!! Well done and thank you for sharing it with us. ❤️
Once again, bless you for the cat cuddling interludes. They add a touch of humanity I often tind absent in other TH-cam restoration videos.
Simply STUNNING!!
LOVE the gold accents!
I had NO idea that drawer hardware would actually work.
WELL DONE!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
As always, the attention to detail stands out. What's appreciated is your voice overs telling us what you're doing and why. Another excellent tutorial. I like when you tell what works and what doesn't. Teaching us as always. The end result? Outstanding. Well done Sir
So kind. Thank you David
Just stunning and the added little touch (via David 🤣🤣) was sublime.
The pulls were perfect
Thanks friend. I’m very happy with the result😊
Whoa that was a hard one. But your persistence and hard work always pays off. Loved at first site on those knobs! And of course the final project as well.
Btful-Jay!!! Omg…there is such a pleasing wood tone!!! You did a smash-up job! This piece has your skilled aesthetic deep in its marrow! Just gorgeous!
Thanks 😊 I’m very happy with the results
What a beautiful job you did! This is such a nostalgic piece with the 2 embroidered handles. The gold trim is lovely also.
Those needle work pulls are so pretty! What a beautiful job.
❤️
Gorgeous dresser. The repairs you did with veneer & the oak on the leg were excellent.
I absolutely love those ornate handles!!! I cannot wait to see them cleaned up!!!!!
Gorgeous! Your hard work really is evident.
Amazing work! And it was good to get a peak at the challenges as well as a better idea just how time consuming some parts of a restoration can be. In general I am not a big fan of the large drawer handles but I think the ones you installed look great with the piece.
This born in 1958 person very much appreciated your flip😉
My pleasure
Your channel is definitely one of the top inspirations for me starting woodworking as well. I really love all of the work you put into these restorations and have learned a lot along the way. Thank you ❤️
That’s awesome 🤩. Happy to hear that
looks amazing. You do a marvelous job on all of your pieces.
Oh, Jay, the new colors are wonderful together. I love that you are so organized and meticulous in the way you proceed. Thanks for showing how much effort went into the preparation for staining. It's necessary to stay real about furniture refinishing.
Thanks and I agree. People think I can do this in a day and make 10 videos per month 😂
WOW!!! Absolutely STUNNING!!! I love the gold trim and the knobs that you put on the dresser. The color of the wood looks absolutely perfect!!! ❤❤❤
Another masterpiece. I am always impressed by the attention you give to the entire piece, even finishing the back. That’s indicative of true craftsmanship.
🥰❤️
It is beautiful. So rich looking. Love the color. The kobs came out great. I love the repairs too. TFS.😊❤👍
Another amazing restoration!
Your work ethic and attention to detail is second to none.
That came out wonderfully. I love the new hardware it all comes together.
Wow! That chest of drawers turned out spectacularly. Great job!
🧡
Your work is always exceptional, this piece is truly magnificent. I appreciate that you noted how long it took to sand, I refinish furniture and it irks me when I see videos that make it look as if everything can be done in 45 minutes or less. I have a 9 drawer maple dresser that took me a week to complete and I'm retired!
It’s beautiful. The knobs make it elegant and the embroidered knobs make it feminine. I love what you did with your workshop.
Awesome 🤩 thanks for watching
This is beautiful!!!!! I love the knobs….actually all of it, but the knobs rock!
❤️
What an amazing transformation! Your patience was well rewarded. Thank you for such wonderful content.
🥰
Your tenacity is really astounding. What a gorgeous piece. No one else would have done it better. Wow.
❤️🥰
To call this a vast improvement is a major understatement. Beautifully done.
Thank you 😊
I love the lines of this piece and the drawer pulls.
Beautiful restoration. You are an artist.
The dresser turned out great. I love the knobs. You always do such great work.
That look's a whole lot better than it did before. So glad you saved the petit point knobs, those take a lot of work to make something small look beautiful. What a lovely piece of furniture now!
I’m 66 and I grew up with that exact kind of furniture. I hated it SO much. The finish didn’t resemble any kind of real wood I’d ever seen. You’ve done an amazing job on this piece. I never would have believed it could be so beautiful!
That dresser is amazing! Very well done.
A dozen kinds of wow!! This looked incredibly time-consuming, but the end result is a stunner. The knobs really make the dresser, and someone is going to fall in love with it. I watch @MayfieldRestorations, too, and it's so nice that you gave him the hat tip. The gold edging is just flat pretty, and reminds me of the brass banding that you've done on your own projects. Thanks for inviting us to your work shop, and cheers from Oklahoma!!!
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it 🥰
THE PAINT...THE FILLER!!!!! OMG Jay!!! I would have given up and just replaced to veneer!!! This is why I love your channel. Your dedication and attention to detail is inspiring!!! I just love what you do!!!!
I did want to burn it at one point 🤣
The dresser restoration is like night and day. Thank you for saving the two big knobs with needlework, as a needle worker I appreciate it so much and yes it would have been very eye straining work. You can tell this is your true love/passion in life.
I'm glad you showed the amount of time which went into this, I think many people imagine that you can turn around a piece of furniture like this in a couple of hours. Beautiful resto job and a piece of furniture I would be proud to own.
❤️🙏🏻
Love the brunette version, the blonde oak was looking a bit too brassy. Lovely work and those embroidery knobs get their own chance to shine. The gold accents against the dark grain - perfection!
You recreated a beautiful piece of furniture!! Spectacular.
Jay, you are an artist! The results of this restoration are beyond beautiful. I wish I could own it…but of course I feel that way about nearly everything you restore. For what it’s worth, I like the knobs with the embroidery insets.
Oh, and does Hugo have a friend who is visiting you now too?
❤️
So far, this is the only restoration you’ve done that I don’t completely like.
The knobs just killed it for me.
The woodwork is wonderful.
Jay, you did such a beautiful job giving this dresser a new loook. I love the dark color, it looks so rich and warm. I really detest blonde finishes, so thank you for spending so much time removing it. Your knobs look wonderful and the gold accents on the drawers make it look finished and polished. Bravo 👏 👏 👏
I dont normally like embroidery but so glad you kept the knobs. It honours its past. Beautiful
That looks so beautiful. I’m glad you saved the old drawer pulls.
Finally!!! Someone who knows how to spray paint with a rattle can. Bravo!
You have so much patience. Before the first Hugo entrance, I would've started painting 😂
🤣🥰
Who would ever have thought this gorgeous dresser was hiding under that awful finish?? You did an amazing job🙌 Well worth your time and energy💚💚
Painting the strips of molding is a genius idea! It really sets off the hardware, and I’m so glad that you kept the embroidered knobs.
I know this is a stretch, but perhaps the fancier knobs were used for a lady’s lingerie drawer? They look so feminine. I’m glad you didn’t over darken the wood.
From ugly duckling to beautiful! Your passion for restoration shows in every piece you work on.
That’s very kind 🥰
It’s very relaxing to watch you work on these projects. I know you do all the work but just know there are lots of people who are enjoying your work besides you. Oh and I liked the knobs. Lol
This one is so special. It turned out stunning and has stories to tell. The knobs are placed on the small drawer at the perfect height for reaching while standing in front of a mirror. This is the place where a lady will place her makeup, jewelry, and lingerie. She'd remove her blush and lipstick as well as her celluloid comb and silk stockings from the drawer as she began to get ready. I wonder if a mom or grandmother embroidered the knobs for the piece and presented it to her as a wedding gift. I'm so glad you decided to preserve the knobs because they definitely belong to the history of the piece so others can imagine their own idea of its past 😊.
What an extraordinary amount of work. My patience would have run out quickly and I probably would have given up. Kudos to you for sticking with it. Beautiful results.
Thank you 😊 glad you enjoyed
Of course as expected cause we all knew you would make it beautiful and Hugo pretends to come check on your progress but he really comes for those cuddles lol thank you for your videos
🧡
Labor intensive but it has charm, great job on the restoration. 🙌🙌 A wonderful storage dresser. ❤️
I absolutely love how this dresser turned. As someone who does needlework, I’m happy that you kept the knobs.
You had to work hard on this one Jay, but it certainly paid off. It looks amazing. Thanks for another great video x
A neglected 'old lady' gets to live a second life thanks to you, Jay. It's beautiful. I suppose you're going to claim you're too busy sanding to reply to the comments 😂
Nope 😊 thank you 💛
I truly appreciate your labor intensive work on this piece. I can't imagine the hours you put into it. It's no longer an ugly duckling
It's beautiful. The knobs really made it pop!!
The back board has a purpose, with skirting boards furniture does not always touch the wall at the top, the back board means it will always be flush with the wall, and with filling that gap, it prevents dirt and dust gathering down the back of the piece, now you know 🙂While you were sanding I already had that piece refinished in my head, with the pretty knobs I thought a really pale nude/pink, it would of been lovely in a little girls room. I repurposed furniture for decades, and pretty pink pieces for nursery's always a winner.
Thanks for watching
I would love to see what these items sell for. So much time and talent go into each item. I hope interior designers find you as each piece you create is timeless and I hope sees many more years to come.
I would have just left that dresser for the rubbish and you turned it into an amazing amazing piece!! Bravo!!
Ha ha it did cross my mind when I was stripping the paint 😂
I can’t believe how difficult it was to get that paint off! I take my hat off to you. It tired me out just watching you do this. Beautiful job! ❤️
This dresser looks 1000% better!
Those knobs were certainly unique, and the placement of the knobs seems odd. I like that you kept the two with the petit point centers. The two gold bands across the front really helped pull it together. It looks better in the darker color, too.
🥰
Jay I really like the dark colour…you did an amazing job and I love that you kept the knobs. Natalie😊
Thanks Natalie 💛 glad you like it
Hello from San Diego:) for a 65 year old piece, it came out fantastic and I'm happy you used the embroidered handles! They needed to stay with the piece.
The dresser is very pretty. In the USA during the 50s we had furniture, which was light in color, we called it blonde. The pieces look very much like the color of piece before you restored it. Thank you for this video.
Thank you for watching 🥰
Another beautiful, beautiful job. Great decision on the knobs for the drawers. And the trim on some of the drawers was a nice touch too. Just a gorgeous all-over project. Thanks for this.
Thanks for watching
Another super interesting restoration project! I like the attention to details such as for the edges of the drawers.
❤️
The degree of precision you bring to each piece is mind blowing.
❤️
This really turned out nicely!
I was skeptical at first, but your end result really kept the spirit of the original. Bravo!
Ahh... So much better! I like it! Excellent job! Glad you were able to save the embroidered knobs. I would be so proud to have my embroidery displayed in such a way! I hope the creator knew. Oh, I think the "uneveness" of the paint someone saw may be reflection of the lighter wooden deck. (?)
Stunning! You did such a great job. 👍
Hugo is a good supervisor ❤
What a BEAUTIFUL respectful professional tribute/recovery. I wanted to claw my eyes out after watching too many proud destructions of great pieces by enthusiastic flippers 😢.
Beautiful. The gold trim really transforms it to another level. ❤
Just lovely! Who would have thought this lovely piece was under that mess!
I appreciate that you appreciate the work of others and saved the knobs.
Highlighting the one odd or narrower drawer with a gold trim was brilliant. Now the two drawer pulls look so right for the piece.
As always your work is so elegantly finished. Love watching you working and your dedication for perfection.
You have the patience of a saint considering the man hours of prep work you put into your work. The craftsmanship and quality songs through. Ty for sharing
I honestly didn’t think I was going to like it but it’s absolutely beautiful!!!
I will always like a video with a kitty break lol 🐈🖤🤣
What a difference ! 😀
Incredibly beautiful! Awesome work!
I love that the cats hangout with you while you are working!
Ha ha thanks. I love it too
