sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I love any assistance you can offer me!
@Caspian Eliseo i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Finally someone doing the work without telling me their husband did the cutting their husband did this their husband did that. I am a widow I don’t have a husband and I’m always discouraged when I see a project and some of the steps are done by the husband. Thank you so much. I have never made a comment on any you to pieces but you inspired me and gave me hope
Oh DeeDee. I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband. I do rely on mine a lot for help with the power tools, but I'm trying to get him to teach me so I can teach you. I have a lot of single mamas in my life, so I never want anyone to feel they need a husband to do my projects. Thank you for watching. ❤️
I suggest you watch April Wilkinson in Texas or DIY Montreal. These female you tubers are awesome. Oops almost forgot, there is also Mary at White Cottage Company in Ohio.
I have a husband and I can’t trust him to screw in a lightbulb! I watched videos, bought all sorts of power tools and picked a bunch of little projects like boxes, planters...etc. I messed up ALOT but learned in the process. Just do it and have fun!
Bonnie Steinke 🤷♀️👍👍that’s Modern in Germany only Now!I still love it needs jest some new Paint!like a Nice glowing Light Soft Orange or something light Green Paint!Something fresh like Sunnshine!
@@debretaevans8049 right lol. I also can't stand farmhouse... Like wtf that all looks like country bumpkin shizz a bit too much to me for my liking. I'm personally more into a glam, light blush dusty rose, black, grey & white color scheme.
I just finished my second project-a 25 year-old oak colored dresser which was meant for a baby/young child’s room (one of the 2 dressers you can attach a changing table to). Anyway, we separated the 2 dressers-one we keep in our daughter’s bedroom (for when she visits) and the second one in the guest bedroom. I painted the one in our daughter’s room “Fluff” by Dixie Belle but primed it first with Slick Stick. I wish I would have watched this video first to know that sanding between primers is okay to do. I applied 2 layers of primer and 3 layers of Fluff, only sanding between paint layers. When I tackle the next dresser, I’ll definitely sane between primer layers! Thank you! (And I love your ‘I just want to drink coffee and paint furniture’ tee-shirt!)
Yep, I'm not sure modern is the right word for it. Maybe just "clean" . I'm still a shabby girl, but like to mix it up. My daughter's room is where I love to play! Thanks for watching.
I think it is totally worth the energy you put into the nightstand; you’re saving something from landfill and giving it new life to be enjoyed for years to come
This video inspired me to refinish a dresser I got on market place. Finally found one that fit in our room but it was dated. My husband cut off the bottom like you did and we ordered some decorative wooden legs 🦵 and it turned out beautifully. I did another piece and gave it a more modern leg and its amazing how paint and new legs can update your furniture. Thank you very much.
Love your confidence in " tackling" the nightstand. You really know the products you use well, and it shows. What a beautiful outcome. Looks very " high end".
Nice job, I like how you sand in between coats. Most people don't understand the concept of prep, a tip that might help for brushing is to use extenders in your paint. . Helps the open time for stroking, it also self levels like an oil base. Great for water based products to look smoother. . Enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing. .
@@Mereship There are a few options of extenders on the market, Floetrol and XIM are 2 readily available ones that you can get at almost any paint supply store. Nylox brushes made by Purdy are probably the smoothest on the market for trim/ cabinetry, woodwork. . Be careful how much extender you put in, depending on humidity and temp they can very easily run away from you. Make sure the container says water based products.. With your skill level, I think you might be ready to be spraying to coats. It leaves factory finish which then gives room for pricing your pieces higher for sale, Graco has a Dewalt battery operated hand gun that is amazing. It's a little pricey, but investing in one will pay off. You can purchase a 208 fine finish tip that goes on the gun, that'll make any paint job pop like no other. The clean up on those are very simple, thanks for your response. I've been painting for over 25 years, from auto restoration to fine woodwork. Look forward to your next projects, take care.
@@Mereship I'm working on a site at the moment, I've been blessed enough to stay busy with referrals for the last 10plus years. But it's time to get one going.. I'll definitely send you the link when that gets up and running. .
I had to watch this video twice. First time just to see what you were going to create and the second time to see how you got your decorative trim off.... and then I went and got the decorative trim off of a piece I was redoing!! So thanks Christina!!
What an outstanding video! The project was excellent. The explanation wasn't overly wordy and you included the reasons for each step. I love the the bar at the bottom that explains what portion of the project is on the screen. Your information under the video was thorough and helpful. I can't say enough about the excellence of the project and the presentation. With all that said, my absolute favorite part was Murphy. I love design. I love makeovers. But I love dogs more than almost anything. And I'm a long-time poodle mama, so you can see why I was captivated by Murphy. I subscribed.
I love your work. I have similar nightstands like this which were in my son's room. He's all grown up now and flew from the nest last weekend. I want to take those nightstands and do just this to them. I kept thinking about how I could remove that bottom piece and whalaaa, I ran across your video. You're so amazing!
This is an excellent how-to video. I love your tip for finishing the edges before painting the top. Moreover, your redesign showed a way to rescue the 1970's and 1980's furniture with curved feet and brass handles. You can also sand with 400 grit sandpaper between topcoats for an even smoother finish. More work but a more professional finish. Murphy is absolutely the cutest puppy ever.
It was obvious this piece was not "fine furniture", but you show what can be done with some creativity, elbow grease and paint. You saved $100 on a new mass-produced table by doing this! And kept another thing out of the landfill. Keep up the good work!
Omg thank you so much! I have 2 old nights stands that are very similar in style. I wanted to modernize it. I was worried that I will not be able to do anything with it! Now that you gave me inspiration I feel like there light at the end of the tunnel 😂
I really love the modern look and the gold foot is awesome. I have to remodel my teen daughter's room, so I'll definitely take some tips from this video.
You are very inspiring!! Great idea to start with a small piece. I seem to want to jump in head first with big items. I will definitely rethink that next time. Your video was great!!! I love how you walked us through each step by showing and talking!
Beautiful. Someone in the neighborhood threw out a four draw pine dresser really good shape. So I will be following your instructions and make it beautiful. Thanks
I am a fan of the clean lines of mid-century style and this stand is amazing - Amazon has less expensive legs and pulls which I have used - You paid top-price but did an outstanding job.

I am so sorry for your loss if you want another youtuber who does cutting herself you should watch living to diy with rachel metz
I suggest you watch April Wilkinson in Texas or DIY Montreal. These female you tubers are awesome. Oops almost forgot, there is also Mary at White Cottage Company in Ohio.
I've never had a husband, you can do it without one for sure
I have a husband and I can’t trust him to screw in a lightbulb! I watched videos, bought all sorts of power tools and picked a bunch of little projects like boxes, planters...etc. I messed up ALOT but learned in the process. Just do it and have fun!
I have to confess I never understood the shabby craze. 🤷♀️ The table looks wonderful now👍🏻!
😊 thank you
Bonnie Steinke 🤷♀️👍👍that’s Modern in Germany only Now!I still love it needs jest some new Paint!like a Nice glowing Light Soft Orange or something light Green Paint!Something fresh like Sunnshine!
You’re not the only one! 😂
The shabby looks like the worn-out furniture I added the kid

I've recently realised I prefer chic to shabby so this kind of spoke to my heart lol. well done
Great tip about putting finish on paper plate instead of dipping into the jar, lots of good tips here-thanks!
Wow…great transformation!
Love the gold hardware.
You are darling and so is that night stand. Happy painting.
Thank you!
Love this
what an adorable dog you have!!!
Soooo cute!
Turned out great!

This is too cute!
Turned out so nice!!!!
I think so too!
I like this makeover!
I only use clear coat in matte also, it's what I would want in my house so... Great turn around piece.
I’m rewatching this video! Loved the results!
Yay! Thank you!
Like always super beautiful!!!
Thank you so much!!
This turned out so good!! I usually raise an eyebrow at the word modern, but I absolutely love this transformation. You are so inspiring, Christina!😊

It looks like a completely different product - craziness! Job well done
Very pretty change
Great Job!! Yes, sand, sand, sand between each coat!! Well Done.
Beautiful!

So cute! God bless you Christina!
Thanks!
Love your confidence in
" tackling" the nightstand.
You really know the products you use well,

The nightstand looks so beautiful! I love how you explain every detail from start to finish!!! 😍

That’s a really good tip! Do you use any specific kind? How much of it do you use? What kind of brush do you use with that?

Love it. Fantastic job! Greetings from Los Angeles
Super love this look right now! Transitioning from shabby distressed to clean & light.
Love that! And thank you for the superchat. It was my first one ever! I was so excited.❤️

Thanks so much! 😊
I can't wait . this is the look that I am loving now
Awesome. I hope you like it.

Love how it turned out!
Thank you!
Yes,! Lots of work but I came out so well! Love your videos
Beautiful love ittttt👌👏🏼
I'm neither a modern or farmhouse country furniture style kinda girl, but I really like this! Very clean & fresh looking
Thank you!
I love your work. I have similar nightstands like this which were in my son's room. He's all grown up now and flew from the nest last weekend.

Great job with the sawing! It looks gorgeous!
At Last someone else who doesn’t love Shabby Chic ! My style
I would’ve never thought to do that. It looks awesome.

Nice job..I didn't even think of taking apart furniture and revamping it
The transformation on this piece is very inspiring!
Thank you!
Great job Christina. You are my inspiration👍
Thank you so much!

I enjoyed this video !
I just love this video. I am watching it again. I bought my hairpin legs and am planning the same project. Thanks so much for your inspiration!!

Omg thank you so much! I have 2 old nights stands that are very similar in style. I wanted to modernize it. I was worried that I will not be able to do anything with it! Now that you gave me inspiration I feel like there light at the end of the tunnel 😂
So much better!
The transformation was awesome
Love it!
