I found this old dresser for $50 at the thrift store. With the green glazed finish and the mismatched hardware, I knew this project would be a challenge. I will attempt to restore this furniture by removing the old paint with scrapers, sanders and paint stripper. I will apply lacquer using my HVLP sprayer. Finally, I will clean the old hardware and attempt to find a few matching drawer pulls. Thank you for your support, and enjoy this video. Barry

I am excited to continue sharing the new things I am learning with each project! I truly want others to benefit from these videos. Thank you to everyone who has helped support my journey. Barry
Wonderful job! Have you tried cold casting a pull? You can do it with epoxy and metal powder. It might be fun to try.
How does someone contact you to do a project? I sent a message on Facebook but got no reply.
This dresser was screaming "please save me I am suffocating here" Thank you for stripping the green paint off of it. The wood grain was so beautiful to see under that stuff. You do such great work Barry. Have a wonderful day
Wow. Thank you so much
Thank for for the dresser’s history.
Omg I loved this video. The wood you exposed looks so good. Your work is beautiful 😍
A lovely transformation. I recognize that terrible finish. It looks like a diy finish popular in the 60s and 70s. It was purchased as an “antiquing kit.” It contained green, gold or antique white paint and a shade of brown glaze. Paint it, let it dry, brush the stain on and voilá! You had an antique! Truly horrible. I’m glad you removed everything. That poor dresser was suffocating!🌸
Great feedback. I am learning so much from this. Thank you
@@MadCityModern Yes, my father did a lot of this around 1968-70. The line of paints and glaze he used offered avocado green, colonial blue, barn red, and mustard gold. He painted two Victorian style chairs and two tables from an "antique" store, and cut down the legs to make coffee tables, and did them in avocado. There was also a large heavy oak desk from the 1940s along with an oak desk chair, and a heavy oak rocker that he did in the barn red. And we had a secretary desk from my Grandmother that he did in the blue. Eventually my mom got tired of the green stuff and we repainted them with black enamel paint. My dad went on a real tear with the "antiquing".
There was also the 1970s fad of making furniture look like 'Spanish antiques.' Hit it with hammers/chains to give it dents, poke holes with an ice pick, and then stain it very dark.
@@janbaer3241 oh my gosh! I remember that! My parents had friends whose whole house was full of that stuff! Very depressing and heavy!🌸
@@janbaer3241 LOL, "distressing"-- Yes, my dad was doing that too, before the "antiquing". Fun times.
The wood furniture whisperer strikes again! What I see quite a bit of in the comments section of each of your videos is the folks thanking you for salvaging pieces of furniture that have been through the ringer. I'll add my voice to the choir. Thank you for finding and restoring these pieces. People really don't know what they have until they sell it for $5-$50 bucks and then see what they really had all along. You are truly an artist.
Awesome feedback Tom. Thank you for this
Worth the wait, Barry. I’m glad to see you have garnered sponsorship. Beautiful work!
Thank you Bob!
The lines of this piece are so classic and lovely. They were obscured by that unattractive green. Thank you for sharing your work.
I agree. Thank you so much
A man after my own heart. I like a little pancake with my whipped cream. Yum! A total labor of love, but the results as stunning. Kudos to the person who painted that dresser. They did all the prep and steps so the paint wouldn't come off. The wood looks like either birch or maple. Best way to tell the differencr is the fingernail test. If it doesnt scratch its maple. Thanks again for another great video!
Haha. Well said
It is so refreshing to see someone restore instead of slapping on a coat of paint.
Thank you so much
I come for the restorations and your attention to detail. I stay for the humor. Today it was the extra whipped cream. So funny, yet necessary. Love watching your hard work and the amazing results you get. I also love your sly wit. Thank you for sharing both!
I really appreciate this
I laughed at the extra dollop of whipped cream, too!
My mother refinished one of my dressers in this finish in the late 60’s. I remember it well! 😂 She did a lot of furniture painting. I think she repainted our kitchen table - a drop leaf - about 4 times during the 11 years we lived in Rochester NY! I clearly remember black, white, and red, at least. Fortunately, not everything she did was avocado green! She also painted a “headboard” on my wall in a “tole painting” style, with orange and yellow flowers, and green leaves. It was pretty nice, actually, for the time. I had very bad allergies as a kid, so she worked to keep things as dust free as possible, so painting the “headboard” was part of that.
Thanks for sharing the lovely results of your restoration. I’m sure the dresser is sighing with relief!
The extra squirt of whipping cream at the end made me laugh out loud!
So glad you caught this : )
I actually really like the character of the mismatched hardware. I think it makes the piece stand out.
So glad you liked this one
Ordering new hardware was definitely the best choice for this project. The transformation of removing the layers of paint and revealing the wood grain is simply amazing.
That extra squirt of whipped topping, genius humor! I loved the sponsor too, I’m thinking it would be a great gift for my son, who is probably about your age. I also loved the finish color you used on the dresser. Great work!
I was very pleased with this sponsor, Bespoke Post! I do my best to partner with companies that work with my brand. Thank you for the great feedback. Barry
The valet tray made it back into the dresser❣️ I was afraid you might not keep it. I'm thrilled by the solid wood fronts on the drawers you don't find that very often do you?
Thank you for watching this!
My great-grandfather left me a large box of Life magazines, as well as some antique cameras. You would love them. He was a great photographer.
So glad you saw those!
I recognize that paint technique. It was a trend in the 1970s called "Antiquing." My mother painted several dressers in our house that way. One was a pretty blue, and two small ones in a much better shade of green than this one. BTW, I see you did finally put your lunch in that fridge; a deconstructed lunch, but still...
Thank you for sharing this. I always love learning from others after I finish these projects
It was sold in the Sears catalog. I used the dutch blue color on my bedroom furniture when I was a teen in the 70's.
Yeah, in the 1970s, one relative "painted antiqued" over an heirloom mahogany desk. Tragic!
Yep! My dad did a bedroom set in this almost exactly. My FIL did a huge breakfront he'd built himself, also in green.
Yup! Mom "antiqued" everything. Then there was "tole painting" then there was" farmhouse distressed" now there's "chalk painting " 🤣😅😂
This piece was the victim of an old 70's trend called "antiquing". You bought it as a kit. My mom used it on a bunch of our furniture. The most popular color then was Avocado Green. 🤪
This makes sense now : )
Ah Barry it's gorgeous. I absolutely love the tone of the wood. I love the little tray inside the drawer. Place for your coins, watch and keys. A simple thing but a thoughtful touch. Great job.
Hi Emer. People were asking for you in the Live chat
@@MadCityModern Aw. That's so sweet. I was sorry to have missed it. Schedule was all over the place today.
I understand
Wow - this piece went from "Beast" to "Beauty" when you were done with it! What a hidden treasure!
Thank you Jennifer
Natural wood is so beautiful thank you for revealing the hidden beauty of this piece.
I agree
Great job! What a beautiful piece. That dresser seemed to have experienced the antiquing craze popular in the mid 60s. You really brought it back to life.
Thank you Joseph
The painting craze like that came back for a bit in the early 90's... I tried it. Never again.
The medium walnut color stain lacquer looks beautiful on that dresser! So impressed at how hard you worked on removing the layers of paint and finish. Nice job, Barry.
Thank you for the great feedback. I wasn't sure if this color was going to work
I absolutely agree! The stain was a perfect choice for this chest of drawers! 😍 I was blown away by the outcome. Great job Barry! You never disappoint!!
I love seeing refinished wood glow and shimmer when it gets a new finish
So do I. Thank you for watching, Veronica.
Barry
Thanks for the cutaway. Looking forward to your choice of knobs. Thanks for saving our heritage. One piece at a time.
Thank you Greg. I appreciate the great feedback. Barry
I missed the Live but watched it just now and as usual, Barry it looks amazing!!
I missed you in the premiere
@@MadCityModern Thank you, that's very kind.
My mother painted the furniture in my childhood bedroom the same way, same green as well. New home in 1973, and several of our neighbors did the same faux graining techniques, always green! I still have my green bookcase at my cabin and it actually fits the decor pretty well!
I love learning more about these trends
My dad and I built my high school study desk in the mid 70s and we painted it with a similar. but not as dramatic paint job. It was painted green and then black paint was wiped on using a sponge to give the fake grain effect. The black paint and sponge was sold as a kit. The desk is still being used for storage in my home office.
Another superb restoration Barry! I was very thankful that the green paint was gone....it certainly did the piece no favours!
I really appreciate it. I was not a fan of the green
I enjoy the long amounts of scrapping and sanding. Please show all!
I will be showing more in the next video
Great finish, really nice look. Color is good as well. Looking at the bare wood, I’m thinking maple, especially that one drawer with the splatted looking front. Bravo Zulu!
Thanks for the feedback. You're probably right about the Maple. I love learning as I go
I did not expect this dresser to turn out this goodlooking ! And you also served us a bit of history ( Edison )
And I guess you are a great cook since you said some time ago that you live by yourself.
I find that hard to believe , you seem to be a real catch, a "mother-in-law's dream" as we say here. Just kidding. Anyway, you make every video interestng. Love to watch them all.
Haha. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed this project. Barry
I was so excited to see your new project. It screamed "Please help me"..... I love your work and I think the color is beautiful. Thank you again for sharing your love of all things brass and wood.
This really means alot. Thank you
As a lifelong Wisconsin-ite, I loved the history of this piece…..who knew? I grew up in the 50’s and these pieces were everywhere. We called the finish “blonde” back then and soon after it totally left favor for the “avocado” greens, oranges and dark brown finishes of the 60’s. 🫣ugh! Funny how things come full circle. I totally agree with you regarding the pulls….just not right. I loved what you did with the wood though. And I so enjoy watching your channel. Thanks so much….great editing, btw 👍.
Thank you so much for this encouraging feedback Cindy
That must have taken forever to redo and bring back to New! Amazing, well done. You really put your heart in this video with a history lesson and the lunch break. Am I the only one that's by the little spider?❤ your channel and your updates🛠👍😁
I really appreciate this Neil
Your videos are so relaxing to watch. I have to admit that I would LOVE to do what you do. I am disabled and unable to do it so I live vicariously through you. Superb job on the restoration! Beautiful piece!
I'm really glad you are able to enjoy watching. Thank you for the encouragement
Always a special treat when Barry brings out the guns for a project! 💪🏼💪🏼
Thank you : )
Wow, what an interesting bit of history! I don’t hate or disagree with painted wood furniture, but the wood grain is so beautiful on this piece. It’s a delight to see.
Thank you so much
The green finish looks very much like a fad finish from the late 60s and 70s called "antiqueing". And the green is right in line with one of the popular colors used in the process. That may not be what was intended, but it's quite similar. A lot of good furniture was ruined doing that. I really like what you've done here, Barry. Getting that green off lets the wood come out to play and it looks so much better! Thank you for sharing another great project!
Excellent feedback. Thank you for sharing this. Barry
I love the colour! What a gorgeous job. Would be great to see this with wooden bar handles 🙂
Agreed.
I also agree
You brought this piece back to life by removing that awful finish. I know you said you weren't a big fan of the color, but I really like it. It brought out the warmer tones in the wood without hiding the grain. Thanks so much for sharing😊😊😊
loved the introduction to the manufacturer, very nicely done!
The final product looks great! You must have put a lot of muscle into it...
Yes. This one was tough
Wow! Quite the transformation on this piece. That green paint was hiding what appears to be birch wood. I also learned some Wisconsin furniture manufacturers history here. Another beautiful finish restoration Barry!
Thank you Steven
This finished piece exudes a rich look into the past. Masterful color stain with hardware that blended as if it was original to the style! Here, here!
I really appreciate this! Barry
A vintage gem saved👍 I really like that vintage mixer and fridge too. Thank you
Thank you, Donna.
Barry
I really enjoy looking at all of the vintage items you have, even the pancake mix and mixer. I can tell you really appreciate the times gone by and the stories they tell. Love your content! 💖
So glad you noticed so many of these things
Hello Barry, here I am seeing your lovely work 🤩🌷
Thank you my friend!
That is a truly lovely dresser, it's beauty was hidden under the poison green colour and it now shines.
Thank you Tara!
The green finish resembles the horrible "antiquing" finish wantonly applied to antiques in the 1960s and 70s. Glad to see you gave this new life!
I really like the color! I think it turned out really nice! Perfect timing for the video… I have a whole bedroom suite sitting in my garage, covered in a glaze 🤦🏼♀️. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing this
Thomas Edison!! History is amazing, what a great story ( Barry: “yes, I have an old connection to Edison, yes, Thomas Edison “). Love your story telling, and how you lovingly restore the pieces you find. Surprisingly, watching you scrape paint using different tools and methods is quite soothing. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful work.
One of my favorite comments
I appreciate your love for all things vintage. And as someone from Milwaukee I appreciate your WI background. Great work my friend you inspire my future diy projects
Hope you enjoy my clips from Milwaukee in some of my vids
Oh that green looked so very 60s. Your restoration gives this dresser another 60 years of life. Well done!
Thank you so much
Congratulations on the sponsorship! I must say, I really do love the colour of the finish, it has such a beautiful glow to it!!
Thank you. I am very pleased with this sponsor, Bespoke Post
What a night to day flip! I would never look into the green one, but the end one is gorgeous 😍 ✨️. Once more, a beautiful job Barry. Ty for sharing. Kisses from Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹
Thank you Eliana. I appreciate your support from the beautiful country of Portugal. Barry
So pretty, you gave it a clean slate, got all the gunk off!
Thank you
We refinished furniture with this method, stain over paint to simulate wood grain, back in the '60s.
That's what I'm learning
Thank you for another great video. Just the inspiration I needed to go back to working on the mahogany pembroke table I started refinishing last month
Would love to see it when it's done
El decapado a resultado ser un trabajo muy duro, pero el resultado es tan bonito que, casi, se olvida. Felicidades, está fantástico.
Wow! Thank you. Did I see you in the premiere?
I always feel like we discovering a buried treasure. Great job
I love this!
Wow, it turned out so beautiful. Good call on ordering matching hardware.
Thank you
This turned out so nice Barry. Can’t wait to see your next project!
Thank you Tim
This dresser turned out beautifully. What a difference the new finish makes! Thanks for sharing, Barry.
Thank you Linda
That paint finish is called antiquing. It was very popular in the sixties and seventies. My mom painted a lot of our bedroom furniture with it.
Several others have mentioned that as well. Thank you for helping me learn more
You were the right person to bring this dresser home to bring it back to it’s true self, I’m thinking anyone else would give up and do a quick sand and paint it white.
Are you going to add a pic on Instagram of the new hardware on it?
That is the plan! Thank you for the great feedback!
Absolutely beautiful job, it looks amazing. Love how you bring the beauty of the wood. Xx
Thank you : )
Well done again Barry! Thank you for sharing your talents with us. I used to do a lot of projects from garage sales and curbside discards. Might be doing some small things again in my retirement (if the arthritis will cooperate) for my new off grid home. Many blessings, Texas Deb 😁
Thank you for sharing this! Barry
Wow! It turned out gorgeous! You don't seem afraid to tackle anything!
Thank you! 😊
My breathe caught when I saw the grain! Beautiful!
Thank you so much
You put so much effort into your flips and it always pays off. This one was no exception. I love your videos; they're so interesting with all the added information plus the scenery and wildlife shots add a lovely aesthetic charm. My favourite today was the cloud with the sun behind it.
Thank you for mentioning all of this. It was such an amazing moment to witness the clouds in that moment, and then to be able to share it
That green “antique” paint was awful…and so 1970s! Thank you for returning it to stained wood. I’m really not a fan of painted furniture, unless there’s just no other way to save it. Does anyone make the wooden “handles” like the picture showed that it originally had? I would think that if one such piece could be found, somebody with the right router bits could mill a few lengths of that configuration for you to keep on hand. (Yes, I know, money, money, money!) A millwork shop would probably have all the router bits, and could do it fairly inexpensively. Nice job, as always!
I considered making new handles for this. It probably wouldn't be too difficult. Just time consuming
Wow, that is the perfect example of how a wood finish is always so much better than a painted one. Great job!
Thank you
I enjoy not only your fabulous workmanship but also the history & stories about each piece.!
Thanks Barry. Love seeing restorations and gentle creative videos like this. Didn't see the spider but perhaps I'll have another look!
Hidden in the 2 minute ad : )
@@MadCityModern sneaky
In the fridge
@@MadCityModern I see it! Was distracted by the thought of strawberry pancakes 😋
What a beauty! What a lot of work to get there. As if that awful green paint was not bad enough, then another layer to deal with. Yes, you got quite the workout on this one. I would say the end product was worth it! Great job! 🙂
Thank you so much Holly. Yes this was a workout
My Aunt Dona had this dresser in her nursery. It had wood handles and was white in color. It unfortunately burned in their house fire in 1967.
Very interesting
You never cease to amaze me. I love how this transformation turned out. It reminds me of a classic car going from cheap looking modifications back to its original glory. It's a classic piece of furniture. Simply beautiful.
I've really been enjoying your comments! Thank you so much
@@MadCityModern 🤍☺️🤍
Ce meuble est magnifique ....bonjour de France travail superbe toujours fait avec beaucoup de goût....merci et à la prochaine vidéo
Thank you my friend.
Várias moedas de Reais brasileiro na gaveta. Você faz um lindo trabalho de restauração! Parabéns e continue com o ótimo trabalho!
Thank you so much
You've got a good eye for the classic furniture pieces. Another stunner!
Thank you, Janet.
Barry
I appreciate your cinematography style, editing and music selection. The clouds after the rainstorm was an inspiration and the nature scenes dispersed amongst the job at hand was a nice distraction. I could not see the brass spider.
Check the fridge for the spider : ) I really appreciate you mentioning the other things also
@@MadCityModern Even with your telling me, I went back and still can't see the spider. At around 13:00 I see the two rearing horses easily but if the spider is hiding amongst them that far away, I don't have a chance. lol.
@@MadCityModern Oops. I found it at 8:44 on the bottom shelf under the eggs. Sneaky! A great game to keep me coming back to look for it. Keep those coming, I enjoy looking for them and better yet, finding them.
Hi Barry! I love your work because you always do an impeccable job. It was really nice to see the wood that you exposed from under that paint. Regards from Colorado
Thank you Lorraine
Great as always Barry. The style is simple and great for a child’s room but i will admit I am more interested in it’s pedigree. How neat is it to have an Edison dresser. Stay safe and hugs from Canada
Thank you so much Kathleen
Lol…you did the planet a huge favor in the removal of that awful antiqued green finish! Imagine waking up to that😝
Thank you 🤣
A heat gun is like magic for stripping paint. Takes off all the layers at one time all the way down to bare wood. You'll be amazed.
Well said
Gorgeous job! Cannot wait to see the new hardware on it - I hope you post it on Instagram for us 😊
I will try to remember
Wow, awesome transformation! how long it took you from start to finish... The white paint didn't want to come out easy. How do you like that HF spray gun.. I have 2 that I never use it yet. Thank you for sharing.
It took me a few days for this one
Another beautiful restoration. We'd love a little update when you get that be hardware on it. ☺️
Absolutely
As a kid, my family traveled from Waukesha through New London on our way to our cottage in Eagle River. We always stopped at By’s for ice cream. A very happy memory.
Barry, you have such appreciation for items of bygone eras it seems you should have been born decades earlier. Do you ever feel that way? Your attention to detail and organizational skills are truly impressive. I enjoyed this video. And the pancakes looked yummy!💕
I think the 50s would have been a fun time to be around
@@MadCityModern It was! So much more freedom as a child to do childhood things. Now days it's helicopter moms everywhere.
Hahaha
Hi Barry, Another lovely restoration.. The colour of the stain/glaze is beautiful…I agree with you about the hardware the mismatch isn’t right..I am sure when you change them it will elevate the piece
Thank you so much
Very nice dresser. Excellent restoration.
Thank you Kristy
I'm currently redoing a small plant stand , ( circle top, 4 legs , two shelves ) someone painted it ugly blue/green and then crap brown, literally crap brown !! I removed the two layers of paint to see wonderful cherry wood !!! I'm like seriously why would anyone ever wanna paint that beautiful table!!! I'm so happy I can bring it back to it's original with what very little supplies I have to work with !! The table was free for me and I unfortunately have to spend little amount of money possible at any project , but in the end I make whatever I'm doing pretty again!!
I love stories like this!!! Thank you
I forgot to mention that I do have ADHD and a cognitive impairment , so I'm a slow learner , and I love making things like furniture pretty again!!
You can do this!
Hi Barry, love your videos! But i always have trouble hearing you!
I know it's not my phone (or my hearing) as i have no problem hearing other videos.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? 💙
I will continue to try and improve the volume
Good job Barry. Turned out good. I would like to see the new hardware you decide to put on it. So, how long did it take you from start to finish? Thank you, Cindy
I don't keep track of the time. Usually I just spend a few days on each piece
I heartily approved of that very last shot of whippin
on them pancakes fried in butter❣️ Good Job
I love this : ) thank you
This finish was called “antiquing” in the 60s and early 70s. It took several steps, and it never made anything look antique. But it sure was popular to do. I saw it on rockers, tables, chairs and cabinets. Glad you freed the dresser from that nasty stuff.
Great info. Thank you for this
Your makeover was fantastic! Do you still pinpoint your followers’ country on map? I just wanted to let you know I enjoy your amazing talent from Iran🇮🇷
I don't anymore. Too many pins : ) thank you so much for the support from Iran. Barry
Beautiful result 😊 thanks for the great content! I don't typically have any big restoration projects but I've definitely picked up time tips and tricks from you that I've used for small fix-ups
I love this! Thank you for sharing
Hi Barry, it turned out very well and great to see the old fridge make an appearance. All the best
Thank you my friend!
Nifty. Would love to see the long wood center pulls installed.
I should have gone that direction
