Ep. 69 I found this Horrible PAINTED Dresser and RESTORED IT...
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- I purchased this painted dresser from Facebook Marketplace for $30. It sat in my shop for months. I just didn't know what I wanted to do with it, other than remove the paint. I considered several different stain colors. I also considered building a new base. In the end, I decided to just remove the paint and apply the most natural finish. The woodgrain patterns are not the most beautiful I have ever seen, but still worthy of showcasing in my opinion. I do not create videos to impress others. I do this because I enjoy it. Sometimes I am able to earn money from ad revenue; other times just from flipping furniture. Every piece has challenges, and I hope you can learn from some of my mistakes before you take on your own projects. Thank you for all your support. Barry

I decided not to narrate this video. It wasn't any easier that way. There just wasn't a story for this piece, and sometimes I enjoy just the sounds of the shop. Thank you for all your support. Barry
Great video as always! Do love all the shop sounds it's a nice change. I miss your voice though!

I always love the stories you tell and the details you share, but this peaceful video was exactly what I needed in the middle of a busy day. Thank you for sharing!
It come to a point when I see a grell painted dresser or some furniture, the chance it's MCM is huge 😜
Just do whatever you feel for regarding no narrating or narrate. Guess it's good to change it up a bit, even though you have a pleasant voice . 😉
All the best from Arctic Norway 👋👋
PS. love that you kept it "original"... think the wood in old(er) dressers are so beautiful, and because it's often slower grown wood the "paintings" are gorgeous, even older pine furniture looks amazing natural.
(sorry for butchering sentences and words, my excuse is English is not my native tongue. 🤪)
I don’t mind the “no talking”. In fact, I appreciate te productive sounds.
Your work is thoughtful, deliberate and beautiful. Thank you.
Whoever painted that was seriously committed to yellow. To paint every side of each drawer including the underside is a full on commitment.
Can almost hear that poor dresser give a sigh of relief to be rid of all that yellow. Have never seen so much paint on drawers. Very soothing without a narration as peeling the paint off said it for you this time. Nice job as always.
Love the natural finish. Those handles are beautiful. Glad you used the originals.
Beautiful work once again! I just want to say thank you for all of your hard work to create these videos for all of us. You do such a great job. I can't imagine how many hours it takes to film and edit and make each one unique. Your videos are a gift.
At first I thought it was "Oak", then I thought it was "Elm", and then I decided it was "Just Plain Beautiful"!
I love it, you just increased the value by 500% !!👍👍👍👍
Actually the grain of the pine looks great. Very swirly and interesting pattern. Love it.
I liked the music during the video, but I also like when you narrate. I love the stories you tell about the furniture, it's the reason my husband and I love antiques so much. We appreciate you !
That dresser is sighing in relief at being able to breathe again thank you Barry it is beautiful again
Oh Barry! What a treat. I really dislike yellow, and really love seeing those giant slabs of paint peeling off, so seeing yellow removed in slab was so satisfying. And such a beautiful result. Well done.
I agree!! Was just thinking this about yellow yesterday-I like some shades of it in certain contexts (like softer, creamier, glowy orange-ish yellow can be nice), but straight, pure yellow just gives me a headache lol.
It's like it as able to breathe a sigh of relief. That dresser stood proud.
Unusual to see the hidden sides and underside of the drawers painted too!
The dresser looked so happy!!! 🤗
O.M.G !!! I really like yelllow, but, really, HELLO!! What a disaster that was! And now look at it! FANTASTIC ! Who would have thought, that under that Gluck, was a pristine, but plain, piece? Man you are so right for the job you do! Long live Barry! King of the rejuvenators! ❤️🦘
I really like that raw look on this piece . Actually it looks beautiful!! 💖
Why on earth anyone would have chosen that hideous color is beyond me! I loved the quietness of the video and I especially loved the outcome!
Stunning! I love seeing all the different wood grains.
A true restoration; beautiful as always
Superbly rescued! Thank you,
Peaceful. Simple. Beautiful.
That came out looking pretty nice. I might have restored pretty much that same model dresser for a friend. This narrationless vibe is also good. I love the stories but just the sounds of work being done is also good. Cheers.
I loved the simplicity of the video mirroring the simplicity in the piece. Thanks for another great video :)
I love how you give these pieces a new life…. I’m always impressed… Thank you
Another great job/video. I love how the paint peeled and scraped off, very satisfying. Glad you are back making videos.
Well done, another beautiful transformation! Love that natural look.
The wood grain was a beautiful natural feature all in itself. Great job Barry 👏
I enjoy your back stories and also your soothing voice. And bird sounds are great too
Simple, yet beautiful. I miss hearing your voice. A pensive mood is okay too.❤❤❤
Another beauty! And...yet another piece that I too picked up and refinished. Great minds think alike!
I missed hearing you talk. I understand there was less of a story but just hearing your thought process going through the piece would have been enough. Again masterfully restored from trash to a treasure that would have a place in my home. thank you
Such a beautiful, natural piece.
That chest of drawers came out beautifully! Covering all of that beautiful wood grain with that yellow paint was like putting Mother Nature in a gaudy body bag 😐 I've never went with scraping...I go directly to the "Strypeeze" paint remover 😂 I really like that cabinet you keep your sandpaper in, too.
Fantastic work, as always!
Hi Barry, you did it again, what a great outcome from the canary yellow dresser you started with... I love watching you strip paint, so satisfying ...Take care....
The only thing I miss is you telling us what kind of wood this is cuz I don't know.
But as always, you did a beautiful job .. absolutely beautiful
Looks like cedar to me.
I thought it was pine
Natural beauty for the WIN!
The simplicity of this piece and video is great!
I just finished re-finishing my small kitchen table top. I sanded it after stripping the old stain. I then chose Polyshades Classic Black because that’s what the box store had. Did three coats for opaque solid finish, then 3 poly coats, sanding between. Used restore a finish on base, legs and two chairs. Then feed n wax. It was a great project and amazed my hubby I think.
You inspire me and I always think of your channel when I see a can of GF Candlelight….lol!
Lovely makeover!! I just did a small 60s teak coffee table fix & flip! Love this side hustle 🙏🏻♥️ Keep it up!!
It turned out beautifully. I also appreciate the quiet sounds of the shop. It reminds me of time spent in my Dad’s workshop as a child. A happy place for me.
Love the natural look! Well done! God bless you!
I just love the satisfaction of when the paint comes off and you see that gorgeous wood grain underneath! Such a beauty. Great job as always!! :-)
I understand not wanting to stain pine. It looks much better! I liked the shop sounds.
Very nice!
The paint peeling reminds me of peeling Elmer's glue off my skin when I was a kid🤣
This was an amazing transformation! Loved the scraping sounds…very soothing!❤
You restored that dresser's dignity so beautifully!!
Sorry have not Committed in a while. Been in the process of adapting with health and relocating several times. Now at my 5th location in 6 months, looking for a possible home or perhaps a Motorhome here in Cleveland. Still always watching though, Barry. Always appreciated your work and enjoy sharing. Excellent tedious detailed work as always. Winter months have been a bit tough for all of us. Stay safe, stay warm, and stay creative, my friend. Your work is always well appreciated. Helps get my day started. Thank you for being you.
I really liked the unique drawer handle shape.
What lovely wood under that yukky paint! Another wonderful rescue of an aged piece of furniture!
You never fail to make something ❤️ . I love your videos and cannot wait to see another. Have a beautiful day!🌹
I drool every time you open your sandpaper cabinet
Barry, you said you don't make videos to impress people.
TOO LATE. I'M MORE THAN IMPRESSED. I'M INSPIRED!
Thank you for turning that ugly duckling into the swan it was born to be.
With great sincerity from,
The Great Lake State of Michigan 🐢
Clean and simple! Gorgeous outcome.
Brilliant. Too many people on TH-cam paint furniture, but there's nothing like the natural wood finish - this looks lovely. Thank you for sharing your work. Take care 🙂
Oh my , that turned out so beautiful!
Barry, it turned out PERFECT!!!
Hi Barry, absolutely stunning. It’s beautiful. Well done Sir. Joyce ❤️🙏🇺🇸
So calming that I could see doing something like it with a thrown off piece acquired last month.
This restoration felt "honest". Going to the bare honest basics. I'm normally not much a fan of this light look, but this can't be any other way. Wonderful!
That came out really nice Barry. It seemed like the paint came off fairly easily. That must have been a relief! It was relaxing to watch, and your skills make the task seem so effortless.
This turned out beautiful. Love the different wood grains. Can't wait to watch more of your videos
As always, a satisfactory restoration! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow, that turned out beautifully.
Nice video Barry, I just think it is funny how you say Spring is coming when a winter is just ending. Look forward to. Seeing what new prooject is coming up next.
Great job, I love 💕 it. I’m ready for Spring, buttercups are beginning to bloom here in Middle Tennessee 😊
What a transformation,,,under that ugly yellow paint,,such beautiful solid wood,,, gorgeous
Hey Barry. That bureau looks great. Nice and simple and clean. I did miss hearing you narrate though! It’s okay. Next time. Until the next video, take care!
Ooo la la! Stripped down to bare skin and looking beautiful! Lol. I'm being silly.😉 I'm always amazed by how you know the exact right things to do to bring out the best in a piece of furniture. Well done.
That was one heck of a lot of yellow paint to remove. Though it looked labor intensive, (re tedious), thankfully for you, the paint came off easily. The end relult is beautiful. Exposing the natural wood grain in older pieces is soooooo satisfying. As alswys, you do quality beautiful work.
Simplicity. Nice to see wood grain :) And, thanks for the pics of WI! I used to live near Milwaukee and miss the people and the beauty. Blessings!
Great result... and a meditative video!
What a beautiful job. I love watching you. Seeing what is beneath the horrible paint jobs of each piece you start and then wishing I could have it when it is done. Your work is so beautiful and you deserve more subscribers. Come on people out there, get with it and subscribe to this young man's videos. Oh yes, I miss your voice but do love the sounds of all that you do.
I love the simple blond finish
What a gorgeous dresser this turned out to be. Someone really tried to hide the beauty of the wood by painting it. When you stripped it I didn't find any real damage as to why they painted it maybe in a baby's room don't know. It is beautiful now and you have done a very terrific job on it. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day
I love when a piece is brought back to the original wood. Gorgeous!!!
Beautiful work yet again! 👏🍍
Every house needs a piece of raw wood furniture to make it a home. Excellent work Barry.
I also loved the No commentary format… had to watch it over three times cos it kept putting me to sleep. A beautiful lullaby. 😀
Gorgeous, looks new again! 👍
I missed the part where you identified the wood. Loved the transformation.
Absolutely beautiful!
I can see the beauty of the wood already, 😊😊😊😊
I love your little nature clip in the intro... reminds me of Thomas Johnson, in Gorham, Maine
Wow that's beautiful
Wow, you did a great job, how pretty it turned out!
Absolutely stunning, love it❤
Gorgeous one Barry
Wow! Turned out so beautiful! Must have taken long time.
There is not much you can do with a pine dresser, I have slathered on 4 or 5 coats of pool chlorine (about 8 times more concentrated than household bleach) and that didn't make much difference. Then a whitewash tinted blue helped some, but not tons of difference. It looked somewhat more like driftwood, but not really, I was going for a silver grey. This is probably less orange than it would have been though and they did a good job of avoiding the knots. I am happy you kept it simple. The worst is trying to make pine look like dark walnut or mahogany. Good job, Thanks. BTW, the pulls are the most interesting part, so glad you didn't change them.
so glad u respected the wood
Absolutely AWESOME!
Basic and charming. Makes me think of Japan.
I loved that whoever painted the dresser that 'lovely' yellow liked it so much they even painted the underside of the drawers.
Nice restoration Barry. Hi from Australia.
Beautiful! So many pieces just need to allow for the natural look to come through. Now, this piece could go into almost any home. Great Job!
Nice job as always Barry
Hi, a nice transformation, from yellow to natural wood. Great job, well done. Cheers from Italy :)
Classy job Barry xx
How satisfying is that peel? 😍
OMG!! Just beautiful!!😮😮❤❤
I’ve never seen someone paint the sides and under the drawers like that. Wow. So much more work to remove. Also I saw you go for that screwdriver in the unmarked file drawer and thought I would lose track of where I put stuff and sure enough you opened extra drawers the next time. 😂 How about using that file cabinet to organize the grit and types of sandpaper and get some labels! Or not. I’m sure you have a system. Thanks for sharing. I like the sounds of the work, nature and music choice but am always interested in your stories. Have a great day. 👍🏼
You did a wonderful job making that piece sing. Simple and beautiful.
