I have been off social media for a few months and I just got back on and this video popped up for me to watch. I have to say you have lost an incredible amount of weight, which I don't think you needed to do, and you look simply amazing and you're glowing! I just wanted to jump on and let you know that I noticed and wanted you to know how wonderful I think you look, but I thought you looked wonderful before!
@@christinebrennan4484 thanks! I have been really taking care of myself and I'm happier than ever! I appreciate your kind words! Glad to have you back!
8:30am Update: Just watched your video and immediately had to try what you were teaching. Literally closed my laptop, went into my garage, grabbed a hammer and something sharp, and started going at it. Never done this before, so when that first piece flew off I was like "Oh shit, this actually works!" Not that I doubted you, but man - there's something different that happens in your brain when you successfully do something for the first time that you didn't know you could do. Just wanted to write this comment to say thank you for sharing this and giving me the boost I needed to get out there and try it. You just gained a new subscriber!
that looks so pretty, just beautiful. Love the hardware. As for the drill sounds, the music is so pretty and relaxing I don’t think it needs interrupted with drill sounds. But beautiful work.
Carry painter's tape and a sharpie. You can mark the price you pay when you load the furniture. That way, it stays with the pieces, and you won't forget what you paid.
Hi Lauren from Glasgow, Scotland. Was great to catch this video, it 2 in the morning and for a thousand reasons I’m just unable to sleep, so it was brill spending this time watching you do your “thung” fab nod as usual, and your looking grid girl ❤️🏴
Love the colour - it looks like a French navy! The dowels look amazing! Another fantastic flip and I must say you’re looking really good - I hope you’re doing well and looking after yourself 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💕💕
I absolutely love your channel! Please continue sharing and allowing us into your beautiful world of creating. It is very calming to watch your videos. Thank you for all your videos...
Lauren, you are a DESIGNER! Furniture flipping teacher, yes, but your eye for design is impeccable! I love a stunning before and after, and you never disappoint. Plus, you're giving this furniture a new life outside of a landfill. 👏👏👏
Lauren, So gorgeous. Youve always know what knobs to pick for the dressers.I would have never thought this color for these dressers. The combination is perfect.
Can you please do a bed, I have an antique, solid wood, 7' tall headboard, with footboard, and side rails queen size bed that needs refinishing; can you do a video of refinishing a bed? You've mastered dressers, please teach me how to do a big bed, or just do a twin size.😂😅
They turned out great! The color mix came out just right actually. The new drawer fronts with added dowels really modernized it - your plan worked perfect! Congrats on the sale.
OMGoodness Lauren! Love that epic Lauren Luster Blue paint concoction! If you have any leftover paint the remainder will be AYK for the new owner, which I think is an epic business practice! You taught me that! Also, I wasn’t able to see this live… so you didn’t hear me screaming to drill the holes for the drawers BEFORE you put on the paint color! Oh well it all works out in the wash! Praying for your continued success! TeeHee! B~}
Some bedrooms only have room for one nightstand. Also some people prefer to mix it up and have the second one different and not all match-y. So getting a set with just one shouldn't be a deal breaker! .....but what do I know?
I loved your dowel fix for this piece. I thought of a couple other things for posterity: hit the tile store and get two tiles to fit. Could be Moroccan which is trendy or something more subtle like slate texture. Or check the big box store to find those small square wood panels they use around doors, can find nice decorative styles. Again, Great fix on this set!
I’m in Chicagoland. I’m an interior designer, a DYI lover and a flipper. I’m finding facebook marketplace is such a place where people don’t want to spend money. They want to buy things very cheaply! I see beautiful things on marketplace for such low price! Good quality brands as week like Henredon, Thomasville. I just don’t understand….
I see the tide turning. People are posting and asking a lot bc they know refinishers are looking for items. That's the negative about social media. Nothing is a secret
To buy USED furniture, clothing, home decor, etc. on Marketplace for a bargain is the whole purpose of MP! To keep things out of landfills, repurpose, or pass on to somebody else that could use and appreciate it is an excellent way to do this with great finds on MP. Sellers should not be price gouging.
Thank you so much for this video. I recently inherited a really well built solid wood set that had inset oval handles that were broken and impossible to replace. Was so daunting to even think about filling all of those large wholes in. The half dowels are a great idea and looks mor modern
Thank you for another great video! The tone of the blue color is one of my favorites. The half rounds and hardware made a big difference in the new design.
At first I was worried it was gonna end up the 1980's dusty blue. And in the end, was so happy it was deeper. The dowels made the updated design. Really like it, great job!🎉
I absolutely love this! Like you said, the dowels really add so much to it 😍 Another great piece of furniture saved from landfill ❤️ Also, your aura is glowing ✨️ Thank you for another excellent lesson!!
This is a beautiful flip! I have a dated set and considered doing a similar look for the top drawers, but I didn't know how the paint would look on them... this helps a lot! Thanks for sharing this 😊
Get a kitchen scale. (ex) Put like 10 ounces of one color spill in more of another color. It now weighs twelve ounces so that's two ounces of the second color and so on.
I think the half-rounds were a great solution for the drawer fronts. If you use that idea again, I think you should bevel the edge. It would be twice as much cutting but would yield a softer look. None-the-less your ability to create new looks always impresses me.
Regarding the sponsor--I tried Lume but found it to work less than 24 hrs and was pretty water-soluble, as well as expensive. I discovered mineral salt crystal deodorant and 1000% prefer it. It works flawlessly for me anywhere I apply it, the crystal stick is less than $10, and lasts for months--possibly years. The compound, potassium alum, is not the same as aluminum found in antiperspirants. The molecule is too large to be absorbed into the skin, so it is safe to use. The salt layer just sits on the surface of the skin and makes it uninhabitable by the odor-causing bacteria.
To me, the color is somewhat 'costal'. Lovely. I also think the dowels make it a little bit more casual. Both of these have their place. I would definitely give them a place in my home.
Throughout the video I was thinking why not find another nightstand in a similar style, giving it the same dowl treatment, maybe copy the legs t - but you sold it as is! Good for you! It's a beautiful set🌺
Love love love it! All around. I would like to see this same color mix process with green!? 😊 Do you think that would be as popular? ❤Congratulations 🎉

Another vote for Lume. I've been using it for several years now, and it's incredibly effective.

I love hearing about people trying new things! So glad you enjoyed the video. welcome to FFT!
Really nice update! The color is similar to French blue, which is one of my favorites!
I love that color!! Hopefully Dixie Belle will recreate that color and add it to their selection 😁
AWESOME SHADE of BLUE !!!!!!!!!!! Just great, looking good !

Turned out beautiful!! Blue is my favorite color!! But so many are loving that sage green and I’m so glad you did blue!!!
I love blue too, it's so versatile! thanks for watching!
"I'm just livin"...Too funny!!! I love that blue you created! You look wonderful by the way. Keep taking care of yourself.
Agree 100%. And you are so right, Lauren is looking great!
So beautiful ❤ !!
The redesign , the knobs and the COLOR !
Congratulations on the sale .
Thank you so much! I love how it all came together!
Another beautiful flip! Thank you, Lauren!
Lauren, So gorgeous. Youve always know what knobs to pick for the dressers.I would have never thought this color for these dressers. The combination is perfect.
Thanks so much! I love how the knobs and color just really tie the whole look together! thanks for watching!
Love the dowels - they raised the front to match the other drawers and add a lot of interest. Congratulations! ❤
thanks! definitely helped modernize the pieces!
I really loved the blue color you mixed up. It is beautiful! Very nice update on these outdated pieces!
thanks! its so fun to mix up colors!
Can you please do a bed, I have an antique, solid wood, 7' tall headboard, with footboard, and side rails queen size bed that needs refinishing; can you do a video of refinishing a bed? You've mastered dressers, please teach me how to do a big bed, or just do a twin size.😂😅
Gorgeous; the design update very much elevated these pieces! I love that this quality furniture gets a new life!
Nicely done lady! I love that color… it’s perfect 👍🏻

I can’t believe that’s the same piece!!! The dowels are always a great choice, and the paint color with the hardware are PERFECT!!😍
Thanks! I love how the hardware and the paint color work together!
Beautiful! And so are you. Your weight loss is amazing.
You ought to use a kitchen scale to record the mass of each paint - then you could replicate custom colors.
yeah, that'd be a good way to measure it!
The knobs look great. Love the blue!!!
Gorgeous! Love the color, love the dowels, love the pulls. Thank you for sharing your creative talents with us.
Love the pieces. I needed some inspiration and you delivered. Thank you sooo much
"I'm not learnin', I'm just livin'" 😂❤
Heard that and thought, "Same. Same".
Great color! You did good with these.
Amazing updated love the color.

I found people don't want pay, the true value of the item which are selling on FBM (here in Australia) cheers Graham
Wow! It came out gorgeous! I absolutely love the color, the dowels and the hardware!! Fantastic job Lauren!

This set looks amazing. Great job and such creative thinking for the dowels on the drawers.

They are so much easier to use and look so good! 😉

So lovely!
The color is beautiful.
Oh man ... those are just gorgeous !! You knocked it out of the park. I enjoy your videos so very much.
Thank you so much! I love making thrifted furniture look new again.
Get a kitchen scale. (ex) Put like 10 ounces of one color spill in more of another color. It now weighs twelve ounces so that's two ounces of the second color and so on.
It's beautiful great job
Wow they are beautiful...I love the color!
Thank you! I love how the color really ties the whole look together!
That turned out beautiful!
appreciate you!
Lauren you’re so creative. I love the half rounds. It’s beautiful. Love your videos keep creating.
I'm glad you liked the half rounds, they really make a difference!

What a great idea with dowels, gave it an island vibe. Sell, sell, sell.
I think so too! They definitely have a cool island vibe, I love how they turned out.

I said it after your last set of navy nightstands but this time I mean it…I’m taking the blue plunge on my next piece😂🎉! Beautiful job as always.
You never cease to amaze me…. Once again, great job!!!
thanks for watching and supporting!
Love that blue color! It reminds me of the old “soldier blue” of the 80’s in which I had done my kitchen.
It is such a great color and I think it works great for furniture!
Love it!!blue is hot for you!!! Keep this color,!!
Blue color is beautiful. Dowels are clever and look good. God bless you!
