Amazing RESTORATION of a VINTAGE DRESSER...
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ย. 2021
- You don't want to miss this one. I found this Painted Mid-Century 6 Drawer Lowboy Dresser at the thrift store for $35. The Dresser was made by Drexel Furniture Company, one of my favorite furniture manufacturers from the 1960s. Because of all the details on this dresser, removing the paint will prove to be difficult. In this video we will discuss the possible new furniture trends for 2022. You won't believe the transformation! Thank you for watching.

I feel like the dresser breathed a sigh of relief after being covered in all that paint.
Beautiful job!
Well said. Thank you for this comment. Barry
Amazing transformation. It always makes me sad to see quality old furniture that has been, more often than not, badly painted. I blame the shabby chic craze of the recent past. Let's hope more people will learn to appreciate the natural beauty of wood and furniture design, be it mid-century or earlier periods.
Let's hope it is just a trend
My thoughts to a T JP Purves
It’s always part of a pyramid scheme too. They buy the paint and the ‘right’ to sell the paint. But they have to prepay and buy in bulk. Worse it is always cheap paint and part of some magic system that doesn’t require sanding or prep work. It ALWAYS bubbles and flakes off eventually.
the ikea minimalism and farmhouse looks are also hitting antiques hard. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen gorgeous pieces just painted bright white and left that way or then “distressed” to look all worn, without care for the actual item at all
@@arcatia66 unfortunately I often have to tell people the antique phonograph, radio, or tv they want to sell was only worth money BEFORE they turned it into the kitschy fish tank, bar, “art” piece.
there's nothing worse than a lovely piece of furniture destroyed with paint. Love that you're restoring them.
I agree
I don’t care how good a person is with a paint brush or which technique is used, you just can’t beat the beauty of the natural wood that Mother Earth put there in the first place. That is lovely!🤗🐝❤️
I was thinking the same thing today as I was looking through slabs of walnut at the Habitat Re-Store today. Can't beat the natural wood grain! Love this comment. Thank you Deborah!
@@MadCityModern You’re most welcome!🤗🐝❤️
As much as I appreciate your craftsmanship and artistry (and patience!) I appreciate as much or more your apparent reverence for the pieces you choose to make pretty again. Today I found one more thing to add to my appreciation list, your humility and desire to serve others. A beautiful thing.
Comments like yours make my day, Kristi. Thank you for your kindness.
Barry
I feel like this piece must be thanking you for bringing it back to its glory. There's a lot of low-quality furniture out there to be painted and made over and that's great. But it's sad to see when true quality wood pieces are mistreated by flippers. Yes to beautiful wood!
Thank you, Melissa. I love the natural wood grain beauty.
Barry
Angie was the first person I followed on you tube and she led me to you and mayfield restorations and flipping drawers.
As a former mover, I appreciate that you called the horizontal dresser a "low boy". For those that don't know, a vertical dresser is called a "tall boy".
Thank you for this : )
Beautiful restoration, such a lovely piece of furniture under all that paint. I have come to hate all that distressed "farmhouse" and "shabby chic" look, or drawers painted and covered with mod podge appliques. Particularly when it's committed on such a quality piece like this one.
I agree with you Lee. Thank you for the feedback and support. Barry
Wow, the finish is on the dresser is gorgeous! A hidden drawer/box?! I've never heard of, let alone seen, such a cool feature! I bet it looks as good or better than the day it was manufactured. Great job!
Hi Beverly! This secret drawer surprised me as well. I was lucky to find it. Thank you for watching and supporting the channel. Barry
Why anyone would have painted that wonderfully fine piece of furniture is stultifying. What a magnificent job of restoring this back to its original, glorious wood!! Very well done!!!
Thank you so much! I truly enjoyed working on this piece.
Barry
Thank you for saving that poor dresser. It is back to beautiful now.
Beautiful restoration. I like to see when a good piece of furniture is restored rather than painted over. Love your recording style and sensibility.
Thank you. These comments are so encouraging. Barry
yeah agreed but if it was properly painted it could also look nice.
It always makes me happy when I see old furniture being restored to its original state, it turned out absolutely amazing 💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you Angela
This piece transformed back into its old but beautiful glory. You made it beautiful again, and it glows with thanks.
Hi Leah. Thank you for the support : ) barry
I love beautiful restorations like this! I must say I get tired and frustrated when I see flippers paint everything in sight. I enjoy respect for craftsmanship of the past and for the wood itself. Thank you for sharing a lovely restoration!
Thank you for your kind words.
Barry
I love watching furniture flipping transformation videos, but most of the time I feel like there is something lacking with with pieces like this. Paint has its place and can work wonders, but a true restoration is truly beautiful and fitting when possible. Thank you for taking these pieces of history and bringing them back to the way they were originally meant to look and more. Absolutely stunning!
Hi Vanessa! I really appreciate you bringing attention to my approach. I hope to find more pieces like this to do proper restorations. Thank you for supporting the channel. Barry
As a woodworker, I have always had a hard time painting wood furniture, regardless of trends. This is an absolutely beautiful restoration, great job.
Wow. Thanks Brad
“You’re right & here’s a good look at it.” LOL
One of my favorite parts : )
You are a first American that I found very soft spoken and well manner when speaking, I am not into mid century furniture but it was enjoyable because of you, cheers my friend.
Wow. Thank you for this feedback! Barry
You totally gave a new life to a beautiful piece of furniture. Thank you for mentioning this overdone furniture painting thing. I definitely see the benefits in painting furniture SOME TIMES. I am also a huge, huge fan of Angie on Transcend Furniture Gallery and I have noticed that she will refinish the original wood/wood veneer on pieces as much as possible. On those pieces with no hope of refinish, she paints. That makes such perfect sense to me. I must admit I am a wood and “natural” snob but definitely understand there are times and reasons to paint. Angie loves to emphasize saving pieces from the landfill. Amen to that! Paint or landfill?? No brainer there. Thanks for this great video.
Thank you for sharing Liz. Angie is a good friend
I do love Angie’s channel and keep up with all her videos. I should have suspected these two restorers would be friends as they both love to restore wooden furniture to its former glory. I also am right there with you with regards to painting furniture and the shabbily chic trend. I certainly can admire the style when it is well done but it is not for me. I kept my 70’s furniture so long that it is back in again and i still love it. It gets its occasional coat of Howards Feed and Wax and it glows. Some people have that ability to see beauty in a scruffy worn piece and they don’t just save it, they recreate it. As long as it is sturdy it is definitely a win. Bless them both and all those that see beauty when the rest of us just walk on by.
Painting a piece of furniture like this one is a "criminal" act. This is beautiful.
Great job.
Hi Jo. It is certainly frustrating spending days trying to remove all the paint. Thank you for the support and the comment. Barry
Beautiful! So glad you brought the dresser back to its former glory.
Thank you!
I would choose a wood burning fireplace over a gas or electric every day! So cozy. That chest is stunning. Beautiful job of restoration.
Thank you. It was very peaceful for me. Barry
I guess I never knew you were a fellow health care worker (or I forgot...I'm old LOL) THANK YOU for doing what you do in this crazy time. I almost died from covid variant pneumonia, and I owe the folks who cared for me so much more than my life. Once I was fully treated with 2 rounds of Moderna I volunteered to help out in our small hospital and I routinely bake for and loan out my truck to the traveling HCWs so they can get out of the hotel once in a while. I've been refinishing furniture for decades, but I've learned a lot watching both you and Angie...Thank you for these videos!
So glad your story has an amazing ending. Hope you are well, and trust me, the work you are doing now to pay it forward is appreciated by so many people. Don't stop finding ways to help others. I'm certain you are an amazing human being
So happy to hear you are aware of Angie’s site. The two of you do such beautiful work restoring furniture. Such a pleasure to watch.
She is incredible
Angie is one of my favourites too, and the reason I started following furniture restoration channels! She was the first furniture flipper I started following and now I've added many of them to my channels list! :D Furniture flipping is such a pleasant genre, I especially enjoy removing the old paint/finishing and applying new finishes parts. And of course final reveal with old and new comparison shots. And I like to follow those who are kind and are not putting down other TH-camrs for their choices and preferences on how they do stuff. I was so happy to see Angie being mentioned in this video, and now I even like this channel more. Nice community feeling.
Wow, what a comeback for such a beautiful dresser. Bet your cat appreciated it’s new toys.
Thank you, Philomena.
Barry
It makes me so sad when people paint over such beautiful wood. This restoration was beautiful!!
I agree
Oh YEAAAAHHHH! Knocked it clear out of the park! That finish just glows!! 🙏
Also- you totally nailed the cozy part- I totally want to hang out by that fire with hot chocolate! Hahaha
Nice job, Barry. ❤️❤️
Thank you Angie! I love your videos and can't believe how many of your videos I found as I was searching for Odie's Ideas. I think I have watched all your videos : ) Barry
Totally agree with you Angie !
Not sure why someone covered up such a breathtakingly beautiful piece. Thank you so much for giving it its beautiful life back.
Hi Melissa. I agree. Thank you for the comment. Barry
Just saw someone on Instagram painting a quarter sawn oak gorgeous dresser. Aghhh, all it needed was a refresh - never paint. It hurts 💔 inside to see that.
Just subscribed, beautiful job. I will enjoy watching your other projects.
@@MadCityModern
When I see real wood painted …I cringe 😬. I swear I’m going to have my Cherry dining set cremated with me to keep it from being painted
The hidden drawer looks like a good place to store important personal documents. I love your videos.
You show such integrity in your work, I could watch you for hours, your voice is so relaxing.
Thank you Cheryl
First of all… WOW that turned out amazing 🤩 the finish is beautiful and definitely super cozy. Second, you’re so nice mate 🥰 thanks for all the love. This is an awesome video !
You're a great friend!
Thank you for un-painting it!
Thank you for bringing this piece of furniture back to its former beauty.
You always do a careful and thorough job.
Hi Rosalie! Thank you. I still have so much to learn but I am so grateful for such a supportive TH-cam family. Barry
You're out here doing the Lord's work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you : )
I randomly got recommended this but even without oil those drawers look stunning, much better than the 'shabby chic' paint and horrendous hardware.
So glad it was recommended. And thank you for the feedback. Welcome to the channel. Barry
Oh that's just beautiful!
Thank you Moranda!
What a stunning piece! This popped up in my suggested videos, and is the first video of yours I've seen, but I think I'll spend the next few days binging all of your other ones. Thank you for sharing the work you do!
Hey Chris. Thank you for watching. Welcome to the channel. I keep hearing how this video is popping up in the suggested videos for new viewers. This is all new to me. Thanks for the support. The channel has come a long way so keep that in mind as you watch the older less polished videos. Barry
This guy is so humble and has such a calming voice to listen to. I’m very pleased by the end result! Good job! 👍🏻
Hi Ivan. Thank you for that feedback. Welcome to the channel! Barry
I'm a firm believer that life returns everything you put out there 10 fold. Tell if you put out kindness and helpfulness you'll get it back tenfold. If you put out miserable meanness you'll also get that back tenfold. I also like to live by the pay it forward motto.
This comment is one of the most meaningful for me. It certainly has returned so many amazing things, not to mention the pure joy that comes from helping others. Thank you for catching this clip at the end of my video. Barry
Just WOW! Love that restoration. Not every piece of furniture needs to be painted. So glad you brought it back to its original beauty. Love that little hidden bin. I would use it to store valuables - if I had any. Lol. Subscribed to the new channel and look forward to watching it as well. 🥳
Hi Shirley. I love seeing comments like yours. I am overwhelmed by the amount of support from so many viewers, including you. Thank you for watching, and for supporting both channels. New tool video should be uploaded today. Dresser video this weekend. Barry
Looks wonderful. More timeless and much less trendy than when it was painted.
I agree. Thank you. Barry
My life’s ambition is now to own a dresser with a secret drawer like that!
Awesome!
Unrecognizable! How could someone in good conscience paint garish paint over that stunning wood grain?!? Thank you for returning it to its beauty!
Thank you for the great comment Ann
You did an amazing job on this piece. The final result is so beautiful. You must have spent so much time stripping every last bit of that paint off and sanding this piece. The work you put in really shows.
Time well spent, but not sure I want to do that for every project. Thank you for the support and the friendship! Barry
Not only are you a great furniture restorer but also a very decent man. Keep up the good work!
I'm also looking forward to following your new channel.
Thank you. I am grateful for all the wonderful people who continue to support the channel, including you Gina. Barry
"You're right, and here's a good look at it". Ha!! I laughed so loud! Your voice is your fortune, and your ideas, and skills are so, so wonderfully realized. Huzzah! Stay warm!
Wow. Thank you Elaine. This comment really made my day. Glad you got a good laugh as well. Thank you for watching and supporting the channel. Barry
I’m blown away by the beauty of this brass, and the revealed wood grain underneath the paint. I love your videos, especially your attention to the details of the piece of furniture.
So glad that you took the extra time and effort needed to remove the paint from this beautiful dresser. A natural wood finish is timeless in my opinion. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Tim. It just amazes me how the prep work takes 3 days and the final application takes an hour. Let me know if you ever have suggestions how I can continue to improve. Thank you for your support. Barry
That looks so much better than before! And I like your thoughts.
While painting is always an option, I like wood because of its inherent beauty. The asymmetry of painting is that it's a lot more work to undo than to do in the first place.
I wonder if a layer of shellac under the paint could be encouraged, partly as a way to make it more readily removed.
This is one of my favorite comments. This is the approach I am trying to take. Saying it is ok for others to paint, but just not my first choice. Regarding laminate, I'll paint over that all day everyday : ) Barry
So satisfying to watch that nasty paint being stripped off! The original hardware is lovely and the finished product is beautiful 😊
Wow. Thank you Louise
I am so happy you decided NOT to put on a dark stain, that you let the natural color and beauty of the wood show through. Thanks for the video. Jon
Thank you, Jon.
Barry
Beautiful job! A gorgeous piece that was well worth the effort, LOVE the secret drawer. Good work as always Barry, top notch!
Thank you very much!
Barry
Another beautifully done restoration. I also hope this a direction for the future.
Thank you Donna. I enjoy your comments. Barry
I would use that secret drawer for jewelry or coins. Beautiful transformation, gorgeous finished product, very well done, sir!
Even though it's not your cup of tea, you put a lot of love into it, and I think it turned out very nice
Thank you
How wonderful to watch you salvaging this beautiful piece! I admit that I am absolutely against painting quality furniture. It really upsets me. Thanks 😊
Hi Isabelle. So glad you feel this way and thank you for sharing and supporting the channel. Barry
I am blown away at this restoration. Your hard work and patience paid off in a big way. The hidden drawer is so cool! I keep all the cards and notes that my nieces and nephews have given me over the years and I would use that little drawer for those keepsakes. Transcend and Flipping Drawers are awesome channels. I look forward to their videos, along with yours, every week. Have a great day!
Hi Marcella. This is the best idea yet for that hidden drawer. You obviously have some things that are very special. Thank you for sharing. Barry
Anyone taking ugly paint off of beautiful quality furniture gets a subscribe from me. The dresser looks great, and I didn't know I wanted that secret drawer until now!
Hi Nathan. Thank you for the support. I do the best I can, and feel it is necessary to earn subscriptions, so thank you for your feedback. Hope you enjoy the other videos. Barry
wow, beautiful result. so impressed with the attitude, the pay it forward ideology, the local business support, the fireplace and listening to grandma’s record collection.
This message made me so happy. Thank you. Barry
I like how you pay attention to the little details besides the main stuff the music you have in the background with the bird sounds just adds to the high quality of this video, perfect finishing touches not just to the dresser but also your video presentation! So impressive I hope you grow as a channel more and more ✌🏼💛
I really appreciate this comment. Thank you for sharing. Barry
Another absolutely amazing piece! I so appreciate that you take the time and expend the effort to do each piece right! No rushing or cutting corners with your pieces! I can see where you would be friends with Jay at Flipping Drawers. You both approach and execute your restoration projects the same way. And both of you routinely turn out exquisite pieces! I can't wait to see more of your videos.
Wow. Thank you Frankie
Beautiful job! Thanks for being one of the people who wants to keep the old things alive 🙏🏻
Thank you for watching. Doing my best. Barry
If you think about painted furniture and/or house hold woodwork, it often times protects the wood until someone with the talent and ambition comes along to restore the pieces to a good outcome. The reveal is so rewarding!
I have thought about that same thing. The unfortunate part is, it takes an hour or 2 to paint it and days to remove the paint. Oh well, fortunate to continue finding great pieces. And thank you for the support. Barry
That is stunning! One of the most gorgeous pieces of furniture I have ever seen.
Wow! Thank you for this! Barry
I’m there with you Marry 😉
The TH-cam algorithm brought me here… Your amazing work made me stay. I work as a handyman as a side business but restring old pieces is my passion. It’s so sad to see what has happened to beautifully crafted pieces. Thanks to guys and galls like you more ppl will be able to see these works of art in their former glory. Keep up the great work. You got my sub
This is one of my favorite comments. Sounds like we have a lot in common. This has also become my passion, and I want to continue to find ways to get better. Any suggestions you have along the way would be appreciated. Thanks for your support. Barry
I would say some router bits should help. :) keep up the good work… keep paying it forward. It’s a great and fulfilling way to live.
I like painted furniture but nothing beats the natural wood. I love the hidden drawer. I'd keep my important keepsakes and good jewelry in it.
I completely agree! Thank you for the comment
Just gorgeous. I’d be keeping passports and things that need a safe place in that drawer. Well done.
Btw, Incredible job as usual. Perfect choice!! DDEcker
Thank you. This one was special
That dresser is magnificent! As always you did a fantastic job . I'm looking forward to your new channel. Just don't overextend yourself. I also watch Angie and Jay's channels. Always a pleasant ending like yours.
Thank you Gail. I will try to do one video per week per channel. I think that will be the limit. Thank you for your support. Barry
Beautiful. As soon as I saw it was made by Drexel, I knew it was going to be a beauty. You made it sing.
Thank you Donna! I was so glad it wasn't damaged
Paint stripping is so satisfying to watch. Must be even more satisfying to do 😂🤤🤣… the way things look when they’re finished really is impressive. How gorgeous.
So satisfying to see it happen
Beautiful
Thank you again for your support
That’s an excellent restoration!! Really beautiful work and clearly a good decision on the finish; it glows!
Thank you Jesse. Yes, that fire against the odie's made it glow
Absolutely stunning transformation!! I can imagine that it looks just as beautiful as it did when new. Great job!!!
I can’t believe that is the same dresser! Stunning!!
Thank you, Marnelle.
Barry
It has a warm finish that I adore!
Love the hidden drawer! I need one now! 😄
Amazing clean up of the hardware, I had no idea it could be done without harsh chemicals! 👍
I will sub to your tool restoration channel as I find tools fascinating and have collected many different old ones.
Hi Angel. Thank you for such a detailed comment. I love this. Would love to hear about the things you have collected. Barry
THATS SO PRETTY!! GREAT JOB!!
Thank you!
I would say, that back in the day, that little hidden drawer would have been where people would put jewelry or other small valuables when they left the house for a vacation. My mom used to do the same thing, stashing anything valuable in a sock and sticking it behind a dresser drawer.
I think it is amazing
I knew it would be gorgeous when you scraped the first line of stripper off and I saw the beautiful, wood grain.
That was a great surprise for me. Thank you.
Barry
What resonated with me is not only the fine craftsmanship, but your kind soul and selflessness.
Paying it forward is definitely the best thing we as a people can do, period. This made me try harder in that aspect as an individual, as I have zero skill in craft.
Cheers, and have a warm holiday.
Subbed and belled! I'll keep watching.
Thank you for recognizing this! Barry
You never cease to amaze me! Gorgeous dresser! Great Job!!
Thank you Cindy. Love seeing your comments! Barry
WOW!! Jaw dropping reveal! Thank you for restoring this piece to her original beauty ❤❤
Thank you for watching : ) Barry
The cleverly hidden drawer could hold rolled up family history documents or a collection of jewelry or momentos from a loved one.
yes!
Drexel definitely has my heart when it comes to furniture. My dad inherited a beautiful desk and I grabbed myself an end table from a junk removal job for an older lady that was otherwise going to a landfill, both of which are thankfully free of paint and in great shape. They made some fantastic and sturdy furniture over the years, and finding pieces in good shape is definitely worth the money. Well done, amazing job!
Just a bit of constructive criticism for future videos: If you have the ability with the camera you use, try to set the focus manually for some of your close up shots so that your hand movement doesn't cause it to lose focus. Otherwise You do a fantastic job and I'm glad I found your channel!
Well Said! I have been pleased with the quality of all the Drexel pieces I have found. Glad you feel the same. What I realized was, when working with gloved hands, I often bump certain settings on the camera and don't notice until it is too late. Doing my best to keep the quality top notch. Please keep giving constructive criticism in the future. To some, it may seem harsh, but I truly appreciate it. Barry
@@MadCityModern I am very glad you don't take criticism the wrong way. Thanks for responding!
Not at all. I welcome the criticism. I learn so much from my faithful viewers. Occassionaly there is a nasty comment, but those are rare
What a labor of the love of wood,,,,,I do love the warmth of woods
Thank you! I agree!
Thank you for saving this beautiful piece of furniture from that paint job. It's stunning. I would hide jewelry in that secret drawer.
Great choice!
It's amazing how many videos are on TH-cam where people are painting over lovely vintage wood furniture. It was nice to see a change for the trend. Wonderful restoration! Keep up the great work and channel content !
Thank you Stephen. I appreciate the support. Barry
Helpful hint, after boiling your hardware, drop it into cool water. That'll shock the metal and the paint will rub off real easy.
Great suggestion! I will try that on the next. Thank you for this. Barry
Stunning restoration. Thank you for doing this and sharing the journey with us.
Hi Paula. Thank you for watching and for supporting the channel through your comments. Barry
I am now addicted to your channel!
Welcome!! Thank you for watching.
Barry
Thank you for the music that is easy on the ears. Not hitting the mute button as I usually do.
Doing the best I can to keep the music soft. I do love having music though
Wow what a beautiful piece! And love the cone knob choice on the top drawers! We added that to our recent MCM makeover also 😄
Thank you! I struggled to find the right ones, but then remembered these knobs came from an amazing viewer. Barry
This dresser turned out beautiful! Thank you for restoring it to its former glory
I just picked up a MSM Drexel dining table off FBMP. I hope I can restore it as well as you did with this piece. It has some veneer damage so I’ve been watching yours and Angie’s videos to learn more about the process.
Can't wait to hear how it goes! Please let me know how I can help. Barry
What a lovely piece under that hideous blue, the hidden drawer was likely for valuables and it is such an intriguing detail.
It was so much fun
OMG, you did such an incredible job on this piece!! Beautiful work!
Well Barry another absolutely beautiful restored piece of furniture! The hidden drawer would be a great place to put important paperwork and documents. I have viewed your friends Channel however I must confess I❤ the more complete way you to your projects. Brrrr only 40° in the garage, it's only 70 degrees here in Florida. Thanks for sharing I will check out your other channel also. Stay warm🔥.
With the heater I can get the garage temp to 70. Hoping I'll survive the winter! Thank you for the support Neil. You're always one of the first to comment. Barry
@@MadCityModern ❤
Just stunning! It’s hard to beat the old, well made, quality pieces of furniture. I have to say that you truly did this one justice! I just subscribed to this channel and look forward to more of your videos.
Hi Kay! Welcome. These are the projects I enjoy the most! Thank you for watching. Barry
Honestly, I love your soft voice and the way you edit your video
Wow. Thank you for such a nice comment. Barry
It is so good to see that there are left people who value natural beauty of old furniture. It is very popular to chalk paint over a beautiful old furniture and people have ruined a lot of pieces. This stuff is such a pain to remove from wood, specially oak. I hope this madness will pass soon. So... Good job! Sad that I can give only one thumbs up for what you have done here. ❤️❤️❤️
This comment made my day
