  • Our original plan was to do a restoration on this Mid Century dresser. Things didn’t turn out as planned, so we did an amazing makeover! We recovered from the failure of the restoration and we think we still ended up with a beautiful dresser. Watch what happens that foils our plan for a restoration and how we come up with a plan “B” to save the dresser from going to a landfill and still end up with a great looking piece of furniture.

    All "Buy me a coffee" funds are being set aside in a separate account and will be put toward our goal of purchasing a furniture refinishing kit. ($1500). This kit has a large amount of various products for restoring, repairing, and refinishing, as well as various tools. These products can be purchased separately if you just have a specific project, but since we are continuously working on many projects, it is more cost effective to purchase the kit. We are excited to show you all of the many ways you can restore furniture with these products and tools. Thank you for supporting our channel!

    I love the way this turned out. The hardware looks amazing with the stain and paint colors you chose. Some pieces just need to be painted. I’m glad you’ve refurbished and restyled this dresser. Instead of ending up in a landfill, it can continue its life as useful and attractive furniture for another 70 years.🌸

    This video revealed dealing with an issue that most flippers are reluctant to reveal as it feels like a failure - sanding through veneer. I thank you very much for dealing with issue so frankly and so effectively. The results were absolutely lovely. And I love that you modified the base into something more sleek and modern. Great redo!! Love it!!

    I like the way you trimmed the base, eliminating the curves on the base created a timeless appeal. The white stained top is fresh and current. The choice of this exact shade of green paint makes the hardware sparkle. This piece is now better than new. I doubt it will remain available for long.

  • @robk1310

    Looks good. Because of the blow through, you’re only options were to re-veneer over or paint. I’m guessing based on cost you opted out of re-veneering. The only thing I would have done differently, and this is based solely on my personal taste, is use brushed nickel or stainless hardware versus gold. But other than that, I love the style of hardware. Overall it’s a nice piece.

    So when I used Howard's feed and wax on my dresser from the 1950's, it warped either the base or the drawers and now they don't fit properly anymore 🤔

    Y'all did a beautiful job! I like your color combos. That shade of green that you used has been named by Sherwin Williams as the color for spring. Oh, each company calls it something different, but it is the same color. So, you ought not have a difficult time selling it. One lady sold her piece in 30 minutes! Good luck! 🙂👍☘️

      @FurnitureWarriors  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      When we are painting, we use Zibra brushes and they work very well for us. When we are applying a stain, we are going to wipe back with a cloth, so we use our cheaper brushes since it's only to get the stain on the surface, and not to provide a final finish.
