It turned out beautifully! That color is perfect for that piece.
Thank you! 😊
She has all the charm of yesterday with a fresh new look. Great job!
I couldn’t have said it better! 😊
I love that you pour your heart and soul into these old girls. I wouldn’t want to part with this beauty!
It wasn’t easy to part with it, and they’re getting harder to find around here. Thank you! 😊
What a fabulous job!!! It is absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you so much friend!
How stunning! I love that you leaned into the age of this piece and honored that.
I had to, those little front molds were adorable. Glad you liked it. 😊
So many challenges yet you made it something special! Someone will be lucky to have this in their home again. I was surprised how well the color tones evened out. So much sanding!!!
Thank you so much! Yes, both the glaze and paint even out as they dry. Glad you liked it. 😊
If it is an antique, it’s a very young antique. Probably 1920s in a Louis 16th style. Very sweet with the flower garlands. You gave it a new lease of life. I’m sure someone is going to be very happy with it.
You made it beautiful again! Well, well done!
Thank you! I sure tried my best. 😊
Thank you fir your care with this Little Lady . Perfectly finished makes it appear nothing was ever done. Was always antique and simply done. Forst timf viewer.
Glad you liked it! And welcome.
I like the darker color best. The transformation was good. Thanks for sharing
So much work, good for you. I would've preferred the hardware to have been spray-painted gold so it stands out better. I also would paint the decoration on the middle drawer withgold gilding wax. I think that would have been a slightly better look at the end. But beautiful job refinishing.
A lot of the men who do this on TH-cam also make sure to put Howards feed N wax -- not just on the inside of the drawers but also the bottom of the unit and the back of the unit. Just a more complete "finish". Good luck with your excellent work.
The excitement builds and I can hardly wait to see the finished product. It’s hard not to cheat sometimes!😅😂😂
Hahaha well I’m proud of you for not skipping ahead. 😊
Absolutely beautiful ❤
Thank you! ☺️
The light touch with the gel stain hit the spot perfectly for this piece. I am seeing this method (paint-wash followed by stain application) done by many youtubers...this one was particularly well explained, and the steps were spelled out at the right pace from my point of view. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome! Yes, the brown glaze makes a huge difference on this neutral finish. Glad you found the video informative and easy to understand. 😊
Nothing else can be said, but Beautiful. I wish I had the vision and skills to do such remarkable work.
Thank you, and if I can do it, so can you. ☺️
This is absolutely beautiful ❤ I can’t even believe it is the same piece!! You are so talented Walessa 💕
Awww you’re so sweet friend! And think she turned out super pretty too. Thank you!
Lovely transformation
Thank you! 🤗
What a beautiful look it's perfect ❤
Thanks! Glad you liked it. 😊
This piece is just so beautiful! You made the wash perfect for both types of wood, they compliment each other. Great job! 👏🏻👏🏻Strangely, now the maple looks like the warner toned wood and the mahogany looks the cooler of the 2(at least in the pics) 🤪
I think you’re right! The mohagony looks like the lighter wood now. 😊And thank you, I’m glad you liked it too.
Oh my, so stunning gorgeous! You did a fantastic job saving this now beautiful dresser! 😊❤
Thanks so much! 😊
WOW! You did an amazing job. It turned out beautifully!
Thank you so much!
We liked your work very much. We wish you continued success. Best regards
Aww thank you so much!
Gorgeous !! I LOVE it! You are an Excellent Teacher !!
Awww thank you! 😊
luv it!
You did a beautiful job on a beautiful piece, although my wood-loving heart kind of wishes you had gone with the natural wood - I thought the two-tone look was really cool!
Wow that’s a lot of work, but it definitely looks beautiful ❤
Thank you! And yes, all the work that goes into bringing these cuties back to life is not joke, but they have a special place in my heart. 😊
So much prettier now!
I have to agree, the love shows. 😊
Ohhh my goodness!! Beautiful!!
Thank you!
absolutely gorgeous my friend 🥰😍🔥
Thank you so much!
I 💕 it that's what I would have gone for very beautiful. Prayers and Love 💗 From Oklahoma
Glad you liked it! And thank you. 👋🏽
Gorgeous!
Did you say how old you thought this piece was?
I hope you get a lot for it.
It's perfectly updated while preserving all of its old charm!
Thank you! After doing some research I believe this guy it’s from the 1930’s
Gorgeous

Absolutely love your transformation! ❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful makeover! I love this style dresser.
Thank you!

Thank you! 😊
Hola Walessa, I’ve been watching your channel from California for sometime. I love your meticulous work. I always wondered what language you spoke since I noticed an accent, I thought it could be Spanish. Today it was confirmed, “fue amor a primera vista”. I have several prices of furniture that I want to flip. I’ve never done this type of work before. To be honest, it’s a bit intimidating. Thank you for sharing your techniques. Hasta la próxima vez, 👋
Hi! Yes, Spanish is my native language. 😊My only recommendation is to take one project at the time, and try to have fun. And of course, I’ll keep sharing anything I can along the way, hasta la próxima. 😊
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
Lovely!
Thank you!
Absolutely stunning!
Thank you so much!😊
Stunning! Gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing
You are so welcome! And thank you!
So pretty!!!! trust the process 😂. When you applied the paint wash it looked so streaky, then it dried 😅 , then the glaze… then it dried. it came together so beautifully.
Yes! Both the glaze and the paint wash “calm down” ☺️ as they dry. Thank you so much, glad you like it too.
One of my favorites! ❤❤❤
Glad you liked it! 😊

GORG 😍
Thank you! 😊
❤❤
Thanks! 😊
Baie mooi!
Thank you!
It turned out beautiful. Can you tell me if you put a top coat before the glaze and if you didn't how long did you wait for the paint wash to dry? I've seen this technique but they usually put a top coat in between the paint and the glaze.
I love this piece especially the molds looks so French and elegant the color is perfect on a side note what tú hablas español blew me away tu ácento no es como el mio well mine is Tex mex 😂my last name gives it away anyway chica te quedo muy bonito 😊
The molds made me fall in love with it, and yes, so elegant. Spanish is my first language, since I'm a native speaker I don't have an accent when speaking it. However, I have an accent when speaking English, my friends say it's a soft one, muchisimas gracias😊
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks!
It looks fabulous!
Thank you!!
looks awesome
Thank you!
Beautiful
