My friends reached out to me and told me they wanted me to upcycle their old items / thrift finds. After hopping on a call with them to see what their dreams are for these pieces, I took to the drawing board to surprise them with a transformation.

you guys should give Justin a home or room(?) makeover for being so sweet and excited!!! Bring his mosh posh into his own style!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
YES!!!
Yes!
Agee!!!
Agree
YES!
I love Rachael's flips. Her vision and creativity is refreshing and so inspiring.
i think she is most professional designer of the team
I agree! they're all so beautiful and unique
There are way too many tools for me to ever attempt these DIYs but I love her general vibe. Watching the pieces come together is so calming for some reason.
@@judy-angedv7590 Interesting, because I think the complete opposite.
@@kamisa7362 it is a great thing that taste is different for everyone . :-)
Honestly with olive being a natural tone, I'd have loved to see some bits of stained wood still on the dresser. Like the handles and the frame.
same
I agreee rhe handles and the top stained.
My thoughts as well, but luckily the depth of the pulls keep it from looking flat
Agreed, I think wooden handles and leaving the top wood would have been super cool. The handles and top most likely aren’t the same wood so I think even having the top be wood would have looked super nice.
Alternatively, Justin can add some wood decor pieces on the dresser to get that look.
Rachel is a freaking artist like those are art pieces
They are art pieces!
The idea of gifting your friends with something repurposed is everything. Especially something found or treasured. The gift given with creativity is so meaningful, and the items will be valued.
The lamp shade idea is EVERYTHING !
To complete the look 100% I would have rounded of the sharp corners on the base.
I have been searching for a "mid century" lampshade, and this just might work for my project.
Keep em comin !
That’s exactly what I said.
That lampshade looked gorgeous. Love it! I also love the shape of the handles. I could imagine the cabinet being a dark olive green with like a dark wood stain color for the handles.
I would have tried a slightly darker green and stained the handles so they stood out and left the top wood so the handles and top would be wood with the green underneath
Was thinking the same thing! I also would've made the 'fake' double drawer into one (with woodfiller just like she did with the legs), so you'd only have one slit which is off center.
yeah, also would've gotten rid of the fake drawer, as she left it, it looks like it belongs in a kids room.
I totally agree with y’all. Just paint the drawer fronts and leave the rest wood. Filling in the faux drawer would’ve given it a really cool off centered look that I think would read very retro and utterly gorgeous. And since Becky didn’t seem to have a plan for that lamp sure seems like Justin could use it. Would be a vibe on that dresser.
Agreed
I personally can't stand the mismatch painted and wood furniture, feels too TikTok lol - for me, it's gotta be a choice of either all paint or all wood, so I think the end result was great! Just goes to show how different styles can be
I love what you do! Also I agree- Justin needs a room makeover!
Great job on both pieces! Just wanted to let you know the 'lamp topper' is actually called a finial. Random bits of knowledge haha
I learned they were called finials after a very exhausting search for where I could buy the right ones for what I needed. Luckily you can get them with different sized threaded inserts since not all harps are the same. :-)
I preferred the lamp over the dresser but both were well done.
Yes. That's what I came here to say.
This is another aglet moment 😂Thank you, I had no idea it had a name
Rochelle is great. She either needs a raise or she needs to be the fourth sorry girl. She's awesome. I know she's not a massive part of these projects but she always adds and helps level up the videos she's a part of.
i 100% agree!
Fourth?
@@Noor-979Becky, Kelsey, and Rachel!
I had hoped the handles of the dresser would be stained with the olive in the background. Maybe the top stained also to match the handles. But the all green look is nice too. The lamp is fantastic.
i was a bit sceptical when rachel started to appear in videos but i was also sceptical when kelsey and becky started making individual videos and you see how amazing that it turned out. i'm watching the sorry girls for almost 8 years now and i love every turn that you make with it in the end ❤❤ also love rachel and LOVE the lamp
Whar a fun episode! Rachel is the furniture/lamp flipper whisperer!
Girl, you made me nervous as Hades using the scroll saw. As an old hat at it, please keep your hands further from the blade. I am here to tell you, it can and will cut you to the bone, and 2) use a strong double sided tape when stack cutting. It will keep all the pieces together, and keep them from sliding like yours were. Other than that, you did a great job. The shade looks soooo good! Before ya know it, you'll be cutting intricate things too. Proud of ya!!@
Scroll saws are my favorite, and that's a cool first project on one! A couple tips: 1) Pluck the blade while tightening until it sounds nice and resonant, then stop. 2) Always push forward with both hands when cutting curves, people tend to overdo the difference between pushing each side of your material. 3) To get more reliable cuts, center yourself in front of the saw, look at the line of the blade and then imagine it continuing on to your drawn line. If they are lined up, your cut will follow where you want it.
Love the lamp shade. (I might have painted the dresser but stained the drawer pulls.)
For the lamp, when you have to make numerous shapes that should all be identical, it's best to use a router with a flush trim bit (considering you already had the template from the old cutting board too).
Awesome makeovers. The only thing I would have done differently is to make a new base for the dresser to raise it up a bit and give it more of a mid century vibe.
I was thinking the same thing!!
It's so cool you makeover each other's items, something you might not know what to do with or you've gotten bored of, your friend completely changes it giving it a new life
Fun fact: a dee-poh is a train station; a deh-poh is a warehouse - Home Depot says it's name wrong!
(also, a "lamp topper" is called a finial - smile emoji here)
And a "Depoe" (Bay) is the name of a town on the coast of Oregon!
I love when Rachel flips something! ❤ I would change the legs of the dresser to create a more mid-century look though))
The lamp is perfection ❤
The lamp shade is everything!
Very creative ~ very cool lamp! and that dresser has a whole new life being refreshed and modern ! Fantastic Rachael. Great Stuff topic too ! Kudos 🤟🤟🍁
Rach you are so talented, wow! A lamp connaisseur! The handles on that dresser look amazing! Thank you for your videos this year, you're a great addition to the team. :)
The joy and enthusiasm that Rachel brings to everything she does is so fun to watch. Great upcycles.
I love these! Especially the lamp! The dresser turned out really cool but I would loved to have seen more of a wash or stain in olive...the paint being so opaque it just felt a little diy even though you did such an amazing job with the handles, but I understand why you did it that way.
I was so sceptical when they added Rachel to the main roster just because I love Kelsey and Becky so much but Rachel is truly a visionary and has been such a perfect addition to the Sorry Girls ❤❤❤
Rachel, you are such a great addition to TSG! Loved both of these flips x1000.
That lamp absolutely nailed Becky’s style! I love it!
Genious flips. Always impressed by how Rachael works out how to flip items.
Rachel is the queen of details! Love her very keen on details 😊
Awesome, Rachel needs to do more episodes like this! 💛
These are both so cool!! I think the dresser would also have looked really nice with the handles as stained wood 😍
I love how you are growing into your new(ish) role on camera. And the love and creativity you brought to this made me happy cry. Beautiful work, too! Definitely want to see more of this.
I love how much inspiration Rachel takes from
Scandinavian design. It warms my Scandinavian heart
Liked the flips. Really! Seriously! But I looooooovedddddd Rachel’s coat. I’ve been looking for on like that ever since Smilla‘s Sense of Snow came out!
The lampshade is gorgeous and Rachael explained the process so well!
So beautiful! 😍 Loved both! I need you to make this a series! The owners reaction is priceless and I love that everyone has a different style so it's actually more challenging. Well done Rachel 👏💖
That lamp is dope! I also loveeee the color of the dresser and the changes you made to it. Excellent
..Rachel's creativity and wit is top notch..as always
Thanks for letting me know that today is Tuesday 🤣
I couldn’t see where you were going with either of these items but they are amazing. Your design eye is spot on. Bravo.
That lamp is AMAZING! So Becky! and the drawers are funky as!
Both items are so amazing!!! 🤩🤩👏🏻👏🏻 great job!! So creative! 🎉
Rachel is a genius with making over the lamp and dresser! Terrific job! They really look like they were professionally done.
You really are the QUEEN of lamps!👑💡 Live the green of the dresser.
That lamp is TOTALLY Becky. You nailed it. It's not my aesthetic, but I'm in love with that lamp!
these turned out very cool and fitting for their owners!
The lamp is the best thing I’ve ever seen Rachel make. 11/10 👏🏼
The lamp shade is so sick! i want it now but with a wooden base and amber translucent shade panels/gills? so cute!!!!
Can’t believe that lamp! Love the drawer pulls and that color!
That lamp is absolutely everything!
Brilliant work on both items I think the lamp is outstanding.
Really nice work. Love your shapes and the simple but dramatic change to the dresser.
Soooo talented, Rachel! You nailed Becky’s style!
Awesome flips! And, shout-out to the editors for the sexy scroll saw jam and the epic 360 paint roller flip. Y'all crack me up.
Love it! I’ve always wondered how to go about creating a lamp shade and I really liked your approach.
Since you invited comments regarding the scroll saw, I think the pieces you’re cutting may be a bit too thick; scroll saws work best for fine detail work with very thin stock. Band saws are a better choice for thicker stock, and you’ll get far less blade deflection than either a jig saw or a scroll saw. An alternate way to do the shade (assuming your plywood is at least 1/4” thick) would be to rough cut one piece with a jig saw, sand to the final desired shape, then use a template bit in the router to cut the remaining pieces (ideally after rough cutting with a jig saw or band saw).
But your approach totally worked - loved the sanding together trick to increase consistency. Thank you for sharing it with the world!
these two flips make me wanna do my own dresser and lamp flips! Love the Sorry Girls videos, you make projects that are easy for anyone to do!
That lamp was surprisingly awesome. Not to knock anyone’s skills, I just didn’t know how it would look, and now I want to replicate it.
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve done! Would love to see another episode of this ❤
Me too! Great episode!
So good. One of the best and most tastefully done DIYs I've found on the internet!!!
Lampshade fits Becky’s style so well!
I love a scroll saw! I used it recently to cut foam for a reupholstering project and it made it so much easier!
I feel like making the base of the lamp into a circle instead of a square would really match the vibe of the lamp better (since there's so many curves)
These are both soooo creative and they are “strong” aesthetic pieces!!!! Great job!!!!! You literally never cease to amaze me and now I am on a new hunt for fun up cycling projects of my own. 💚💚💚
Rachel you did such a good job. I love the olive color you picked for Jason's dresser! And Becky's light is amazing. We have a band saw and a scroll saw. I may give that light a try. You are so talented!!!!!!!!!!
That lampshade is EVERYTHING. I want one!!
Rachel this is awesome! Your creativity is amazing and that new saw was super cool! It was like an inverse sewing machine. Would love to see more.
Okay, those flips were amazing!! That lamp shade was 🔥🔥🔥🔥!
the pieces came out amazing 😱 didn’t watch tsg in forever, but i’m hooked again. wow!
When you first mentioned what you were going to do with the lamp It didn't seem appealing but when I saw the final product I was wowed by it, it's truly beautiful and stylish, almost sculptural. The dresser was a good makeover also. Even though I love olive green it didn't work for me on the dresser but I love what you did with the handles, again, it has a sculptural element. For anyone that's interested, the little screw on piece that secures the shade to the harp is called a finial.
You were clear, articulate and Direct i’m working on my vocabulary to honey 😻😂🤣😆
I loved the dresser so chic, but the lamp. The only the that I would change would be to bevel the edges of the base or just going in with a sander and making the edges less sharp. The lamp shade is beautiful might try making that but as a plant stand. Great job Rachel.
For the scroll saw, blades make all the difference! The stock blades from Ryobi aren’t the best but if you switch them out for Modified Geometry Blades or Skip Reverse Tooth (pretty much any blades that are angled downward) will help to cut smoother for an easier time running the material through the machine and less tear out on your material😊
I absolutely love these remodels!!!!!!!!! Yes, I would love to see more. You do the coolest mid-century things:)!
Love everything! That lamp is fyiar🔥🔥
That lamp is everything good in the world!❤❤❤
Rachael you have a great sense of aesthetics - your pieces are awesome - especially the lamp!
These were amazing! I was rooting for that shade of olive, it was perfect. The lamp shade was chef's kiss perfect, but this is just me being way too picky but I would have put a sealant on the lamp shade so it would have been easier to clean. I live with an 120 pound Akita/Shepherd mix pound puppy and he sheds about 2 pounds of hair a day LOL so I have an obsession with having things that are easy to dust. That being said, these were truely beautuful!
Woman!!! You hit these Designs outta da park!!!!!
WOW that lamp is so architectural and amazing!
Love the color on the dresser! Don't worry about painting the pine. It extended the life of the dresser! Awesome job
Amazingly good!! Loved Becky's and Justin's reactions 💕
Rachel you have such great vision for flips ! Both items look fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are so creative. I'd to see Becky's lamp painted in a mustard color. Just the fluted part.
Congrats to you all and NPR for allowing me to find you. Keep up the good work!!
Wowzers Rachel!!!! Those are amazing!!!! Yes please do this again! I can't believe how legit they are. Justin's dresser is a work of art but Becky's lamp... Chef's kiss 😘 Incredible!!! Museum quality. Congratulations Rachel!
rachel flips are always creative!
The lamp was really cool. The dresser I would have gone with 2 tones. Either just stained wood for the top and handles, or a darker green on the drawers, but leave the handles the lighter green, just to give it some depth.
Yessss! More of this, I especially love that this allows more members of the team to have unique items in their homes 🏡
Great upcycling! Love how Rachel’s mind works. Such a visionary. Love all the Sorry Girls! My favorite channel. 👍
Wow, Rachel's flips are very impressive & and high-end looking. Go Rachel! You nailed this! Hope to see more of these videos.
This is fun and I love how the items turned out. If you do this concept again, I'd love to see the rooms the items are used in (at least for items that had one) so we could tell even better how well they work. Not like a full room detail or anything but I'm just kinda curious how a big item like the dresser fits into its room when it's such a big change.
This is such a great idea, Rachael. This should be a new series on your channel.
@@officialTheSorryGirls oh my!!! I have been enjoying your videos all these years, Becky and Kelsey since Halloween costume was your main thing. Love you both plus Rachael 💖 oh the gang keeps growing
The dresser turned out really cool and fresh! Rachel has some really cool ideas.
Rachel is everything
These look awesome! I maybe would have left the top of the dresser wood, and painted the rest green. Would have given even more dimension and character. But, I totally understand and agree with you playing it down a little to fit whatever style Justin decides to go for.
These were such a creative and brilliant way to upcycle these items. Makes me want to think out of the box on future projects like this! Great video! :)
I just LOVE this video!! What a sweet idea, would adore seeing more of these!!
OMG love Rachel videos, the two pieces turned out great! & her communications skills are great what does she mean? I love how comfortable she is with the camera ❤
