MCM Dresser Restoration/Makeover (Frustrating!) 😂

- In this Mid-century modern dresser makeover, I had to be extremely patient. It was so dirty, the paint was old and gross, there were so many damaged spots, and on top of it all, I faced a lot of creative indecision throughout the process.
BUT when all was said and done, I think it turned out really well :) What do you think? Let me know what you think of this MCM furniture makeover down below :)

When the video started, I thought this piece was too far gone. You pulled it off! You made this look easy. I admire your patience regarding all the detailed work that was necessary for this one. Also, you always sound so content in your videos. Such a joy to watch. Barry
Wow, thank you Barry!! I appreciate that. The scraper helped a ton :) I somehow had close to 5 hours of footage, not sure how/why I got it down to 10 min haha but it really wasn't easy, as you well know :) Thanks for watching!
So pretty.. I love the different hardware; they go well together. I hope you saved the leaf original hardware for another project as I was kinda digging those.
Thanks so much, Linda! I did save them. I think they will go great on a different piece:)
The color you chose for the drawers really makes the wood pop! And the hardware is perfect. I love the different shapes and sizes of it. You did a lot of work on this one and it shows! It turned out beautiful.🌸
Thanks so much, Deborah!
Clara, you've grown so much as an artist as evidenced by how you transformed this confused, dull piece into a lovely coordinated work of art! Great job.👌
What a kind compliment! Thanks so much :)
I love the addition of the long hardware on the bottom drawers. It looks like it was meant to be that way. Great video!
Thank you! I felt like it needed something like that to bring it all together!
The two tone color scheme actually accentuates the lovely shape.
I'm glad you think so! Thanks for watching.
I like the paint color, stain color and pulls. Turned out lovely. Lots of work, but probably very satisfying to have such a nice outcome! Thank you
Thank you, Julie! Definitely satisfying in the end :)
Lovely job. I really appreciate you keeping some of the wood unpainted. I'm generally not a fan of MCM but this is beautiful.
That is so amazing, I love the combination of wood & Paint! The piece looks like new! Thank you for sharing your art with us!
You must be close to me. I’m pretty sure I saw this and wanted it but I don’t have room in my garage. Lol. I’m glad I get to see what you’re going to do with it.
Oh funny! Are you in the Portland area?
@@KnowCanDo Yeah I’m in Vancouver.
I love this! I think switching to Old White was a great move! The warm, yellow undertone really goes well with the dark stain. It's a gorgeous piece now :)
Oh thanks, Holly! Man, I was seriously SO indecisive the whole time. I'm glad it worked out in the end :)
What a difference! That came out so good.
Much needed refresh! Thanks for watching :)
So much work but so worth it! Turned out wonderful.
Totally :) Thanks for watching, Karen!
It turned out fantastically beautiful!
Thanks, Kay!!
It looks amazing! I love the contrast between the beautiful wood top and trim and the painted drawers. The handles and pulls are perfect. Congratulations on an excellent job, Clara!
Thank you so much!! The two-tone look is so in right now. :)
Love the two tone hardware. You did a great job
Thanks so much, Christine! This was a satisfying project!
You did a fantastic job in the dresser. It doesn’t even look like the same piece. Very modern update.
Great bones on this one! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Thanks, Christine!
Amazing transformation! Really beautiful and elegant!
Thanks, Sophia!!
The transformation is stunning!
Thanks so much, Laura!
Beeeee-autiful! I love the 2 tone look and that hardware choice is icing on the cake. (Can't wait for the launch! ) Your attention to detail really paid off. She's stunning, Clara!
Love, love, love this transformation!
Thanks so much, Virginia! It was a great learning experience!
I love how it turned out. Great job
Beautiful job Clara
Thank you
That is a stunning makeover. Congrats! My mom had what she called a buffet and kept it in the dining room for the good silver, tablecloths, etc. There was the fake marble (formica) on the top of hers and on the drawer fronts. Your before dresser made me think of that piece of furniture. Wish I had it to make over, now that I have seen yours.
Oh funny! Formica seems nicer than peel and stick vinyl haphazardly thrown on haha.
@@KnowCanDo Truth!
Clara you did wonders with this piece.
Thank you
Wonderful. Great vision of what it could turn into 👍😊😊👍
Thank you! I felt indecisive the whole time but it worked out in the end :)
Wow I did this EXACT same dresser! It was painted white too! It only had two of the original knobs and then two of the leaf ones. I couldn’t for the life of me understand why the holes on the bottom were so close together and not centered in anyway. Wow. Very nice.
Oh wow!! Crazy, small world. What did you do with it?!?
You did a fantastic job!! I love your choices of paint because they fit you dresser perfectly!! DDecker
This is really beautiful!
Thanks, LaVonne!!
Beautiful job!!❤️
Thanks so much, Stephanie!
That dresser looks exactly like a dresser my aunt and uncle had when I was a kid. Back then it was considered “stylish” and “modern.” Anyway you did a superb job on that piece. You definitely brought it into a new century!
Haha, Liz! Totally. I mean, that's how all things are, right?! Thanks so much :)
Great Job & Nice Save‼️
Thanks, Patti!
Awesome transformation real classy
Stunning!!!!
Thanks, Lori!
U did a really great job on that. The colors and style reminds me of something i would see from an episode of Madmen. Loved the colors. 👍🏾
Thanks, Rhianna! Yeah, it definitely has that vibe!!
Great video. I would definitely buy that piece.
Amazing transformation!!! She is sooo Beautiful now. 💙🦋💙 can’t wait for your store to open for handles, etc. Loved your earrings too💓
Wow great transformation
Wow, such a great transformation! Thanks for the tip about using vinegar to remove latex paint. I’ll definitely try it! Can’t wait to check out your online store 🙂
For sure! Hope it helps, Lee Ann. I will say -- I think it only worked because it was clear the previous owner did not sand or prime or prep the surface at all, and just threw on latex paint. So in that case, the vinegar water spray helped soften the latex paint. But I think if it had been properly prepped it wouldn't work. Not sure :)
The “after” is impressive. But so are your impeccable fingernails while you are doing this dirty work. I really like the dark walnut top with the paint color. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Ellen! Yes, gotta love dip nails, they are hard as rocks!!! :)
Sweet really really nice great ideal I will use that myself
How do you keep from chipping your nails? They look great on the closeups! Nice result on the redo too!
It was a dip manicure! They are hard as rocks. Dip is great
Amazing! ❤️🤤
Thank you 😋
Beautiful
Thanks, Jeannie! :)
WOW! What a mess this was in 😩 And you worked your magic 👍Such a Great Transformation 👏I ❤️❤️ it
Thanks so much, Ondina!!
This came out beautiful, but honestly, it was so hard to concentrate on your piece when your manicure is so perfect! How do you do that?!? ❤️
Oh es this is beautiful
So beautiful dear friend 💕
thank you!!
Very nice
You did an amazing job on this piece. I would have thrown it away! LOL! You have way more patience than I do! Where are you located? What state? I'm in NC and considering flipping chairs! Also, love you sign..."You were not born to pay bills and die" Amen to that!!!!!
Sooo pretty Clara. .I Can't believe my autocorrect Had spelled you name on The Challenge comment "Claire"...sorry friend I Didn't catch it til Just now ..anywho Amazing job ..came out so pretty 🥰👍
Thank you Debra!! And no problem :) Happens to the best of us of course!!
Why wash it, if you are removing the dirty paint anyway?
I think this would also be great in that one blue color, where those original lines in the drawers where highlighted with gold.
Dark blue, gold and that dark wood.. 🤔😉
I know the videos make it look like I do it all in a day but this took me two months start to finish! So I wash it cuz it’s gross and I don’t want it in my apartment like that!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌹
