      That white paint job was probably for a little girl's room from a family who didn't have a bunch a money. I hope she had big dreams and they came true. Having served its purpose, the dresser is now onto other adventures. The stories it could tell.

      ​@@jm7804Funny that you said that because when my folks finally bought a house they didn't have money for new furniture. When Dad painted our rooms, each dresser was a rescued or gifted item so no two were alike. He'd paint them all white and use the colors in our room as accent colors on the knobs or whatever.
      Thanks for letting me take a trip down memory lane, it's all because of your comment, lol!

    Ironically, golden oak is the color so many people want to eradicate. You gave this dresser back its beauty by using golden oak. Beautiful job, Barry!💕

    Thank you Barry, for another tranquil and rejuvenating (both for the furniture and the human side of things) video! You’re my favourite of them all, and there are quite a FEW! I would have loved something like this when hubby and I recently set out to buy a bedside table and a chest of drawers for our guest room. But hubby likes new items and we paid Aus$4,300 for two brand spanking new Tasmanian Blackwood pieces. They are gorgeous, but soooooo expensive! But, this one you just resurrected is so well restored and so pretty, I would have just as happily bought it, but the whole Pacific Ocean was in the way! Oh well, I’m still happy to see you revive these old pieces. It does my recycle-loving heart good to see it, if not own it!

    I grew up with an old oak dresser. It has ornate carvings that look like ribbons. I didn't really like the look of the grain and thought it needed paint.
    Now I love how oak is so interesting when it is finished right.
    That dresser is now in my parents' guest room, so I'll use it when I visit them again.

    Oh Barry! It's beautiful once again. It feels like going back in time as the paint slips away and you can feel the life in the piece. I will pick antique over new every day of the week. I think old things fall out of favor in generation gaps. Maybe they just don't see the beauty in history. Makes my soul happy to see these pieces being saved. Well done, Barry!! 🎉

      @antigonesurefire888 25 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Beauty is subjective.
      I, for example, find a lot of the furniture this man restores to be very bland and they give off the 70s "wood paneling" look. There are a rare few pieces that I think are beautiful.
      That being said, I can appreciate that other people find these pieces beautiful.
      I can also admire this creator's enthusiasm for bringing these furniture pieces back to their original state; but the original state doesn't automatically make it beautiful.

    It's a simple piece but quite lovely, moreso now with its natural beauty revealed. As you worked on this, (and thank you for all your extra detailed attention), I couldn't help but compare the uniqueness of an artisan crafted furniture piece to the individuality of a person-- skin tone, freckles, bone structure and even scars make us uniquely us-- so also with the wood grain, stain and styling of the furniture. Each telling their story. It's nice that you've given this one another chapter.

    @f75gunslinger 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Absolutely beautiful restoration ! Love that you " got it right " as people say and did it justice ! People often take things at face value without looking at what they truly are . That mixed with the fact that many people simply don't appreciate styles that aren't in " current fashion " and many beautiful pieces of furniture get left behind , sold , or painted in an attempt to renew them and it hides what the gem is underneath . Great job !

      Thank you! I agree. It's always so satisfying to see the wood grain come through.

    It's a simple and utilitarian beauty once restored, I just love it. It is satisfying watching the transformation of a piece that someone obviously lovingly made "cute" in its own way for purpose unknown (probably a kids' room or nursery?) back into its original design.

    I've no idea why this video was recommended to me and I had no intention of watching it- but once I started watching I couldn't stop. Stunning workmanship! Beautiful piece!

    I think about the story behind these old pieces when restoring them as well. I appreciate the care you take through the process.

    Thank you for another relaxing video Barry. I often find it difficult to stop and take time out to relax. I just seem to keep getting swept along the busy path of life but your stories however brief help me to take stock of things and reflect ❤

    Thank you for restoring it to its original beauty, it healed me from seeing so many videos of people painting outstanding wood furniture. I love Gunstock stain from Varathane.

    Barry, it was so SATISFYING to watch you strip this dresser and reveal that AMAZING GRAIN! A hidden treasure! The stain you chose is PERFECT! Sometimes, paint protects the surfaces from damage... this dresser was in a good condition... just anticipating it's RESTORATION!

    I was surprised at how the plastic film helped the peeling process. Thank you for showing your work, you've taught me something.

    Beautiful quarter sawn white oak. So satisfying to see the wood grain revealed.
