I picked up this very generic Ikea dresser on FB Marketplace for $40 and turned it into an industrial apothecary cabinet.
The top was overhanging a little too much for my liking, so it was chopped off just half an inch. Then, I chopped off the legs and gave the dresser a base board to sit on so that I could screw on some new metal casters. For the base board, I used the top of a desk that I found on FB Marketplace for $30, which was a cheaper alternative to buying a new wooden board of the same size (plus I got to turn the desk into a set of nightstands to flip for profit, so win win!) Each of the six drawers were multiplied (faux multiplied?) using a router, giving the dresser a 24-drawer look. Each "new" drawer was then given their own metal label holder handle to really sell the look. The whole thing was stained using a dark walnut stain, giving some areas an additional coat for some tone variation. Finally, it was spray sealed in clear satin poly -- except for the top; I brushed on the poly for the top since this provides a thicker coat for extra durability, which is needed since pine is a very soft wood.

Hey that turned our really nice! One small $ saving tip? Don't use the big box store wood conditioner. Just brew yourself some really strong black tea...let it cool and then use that instead. It works better (I've been using it for years and have tested it on multiple woods including pine, alder, cedar and oak), is less expensive (by a long shot) AND doesn't expose you to any unnecessary chemicals. The tannens (sp?) in the tea do the job. Wipe it on, give it a light sanding and viola, your ready to roll. Keep up the great videos!
Just did research on what you said, and I must say… GENIUS 🤩 Thank you!
Great tip! Thanks 😊
Tannin.
Don't know how it's called in english bu you can also use "brou de noix" basically it's just the pigmented water you obtain by boilling walnuts shells. Can be used as ink to draw but also as woodstain ! (Warning : it stinks a lot when you're preparing it and don't you dare to use ever again the pot you prepared the solution in)
But, wood conditioner is not the same as what you're talking about. Tea acts as a stain and wood conditioner pre treats the wood so that the stain will absorb more evenly(which is badly needed on pine, which this wood is) and not be blotchy.
I love that there are no sudden loud or obnoxious noises, its peaceful to watch. Great work!
No unnecessary loud noises. Any noise is part of the process.
Okay, the jar storage idea is just pure genius!
It is cool. People been doing the jar storage for a long time.
I thought the same thing!
I was about to say the same. Now I have to figure out how to do it. LOL.
My grandfather used them in his basement workshop. Good memories!
@@johndurrett3573 Yep, a hanging pole with baby food jars attached. Filled with screws, nuts, nails and candy if you looked for it!
When I saw you saving the dowel to reuse, I knew you were my kind of person.
I just had a major hit of nostalgia. My grandfather did a lot of woodworking in his basement. I guess that’s where I get my love of at least watching it. He had baby food jars on turning spindles for his fasteners. I literally got a warm fuzzy feeling when I saw that. Thank you.
Who else was impressed with the dramatic vacuuming of the routed grooves?
Essentially no talking. Just tools asmr with video. Yes. We need this.
Watch these types of videos at 2x the speed and you can enjoy them in half the time.
Instant subscription from me
I really appreciate that you explain why you do the things you do in this video - like conditioning the brush. It makes things make so much more sense to someone like me who doesn’t know much about this sort of thing
You are very welcome 🤗 Thanks for watching my videos.
1:50 That spinny thingy holding the screws and nails is so fun
Absolutely fantastic makeover. And brilliant editing - no insane muzak, no chatter or inane commentary full of repetitions just the work speaking for itself.
Gorgeous! Liked that you saved the dowels....waste not want not!!
The mysterious black gloved hands perform magic.
The tip on wetting the brush with paint thinner before sealing 👌🏻
I love how you let your skill do the talking for you. Even the noises from the tools sound like they are from nature. Excellent job!
the editing and photography was IMPRESSIVE!
Wonderful not to have irritating music and voice overs. Great transformation, thank you.
Everything about this project is amazing, but also a shoutout to the great editing and transitions!
Super mad skills…one of the BEST IKEA hacks ever!!!!!!!!
I love this without any music, furniture building ASMR? YES PLEASE
Love that there’s no chitty-chatting. Thank you! I love the sounds of sawing and woodworking and songbirds. Perfect!
I don't mind chat, it's the video makers that insist on using elevator music from start to finish that do my nut in.
You practically make a whole new piece. Such a much nicer piece of furniture when you’re done.
I have no words to describe how peaceful this was!
It is awesome!!!
Very nice change of character.
Thank you :)
Apart from the no-chatter, it’s your attention to detail that makes you fabulous at what you do. So many times in this vid I thought he’ll stop now, but nope you went that extra step further. This is furniture art - awesome job!
Absolutely love your work… Beautiful!. I agree with some of the other commenters, I love the quietness - No ridiculous distracting music or even talk…and the only sound is the louder than normal sound of the work that you’re doing whether it’s hammering or scratching your pencil across the surface or spraying… Etc. It reminds me of some years ago when I watched a video about a Japanese tea Garden ceremony. The deliberateness of each movement the tea ceremony preparer made with each movement and the sounds associated with pouring the steaming water in the small cup,to brushing the tea in the cup in a swirling motion, to removing the brush out of the cup, tapping it twice against the lip of the cup and then, in an orderly fashion, laying down the tea brush beside the cup at a particular angle - every single action was conscious and deliberate. Watching that ceremony reminded me that I was watching a “master”. This video reminds me of that very much. Could we all be that conscious as we do what we do on this planet.
Fantastic video. Easy to follow and no blabbing-on BS.
I was thinking... mmm that's a nice basket of cheese!
This is one of the best furniture flip I’ve ever seen!
My new favorite channel with just this video alone... subscribed immediately
Dude your actual filming is awesome.
Woooooooowwww. Yep. Top ten Ikea hacks for sure.
This is one of the "better" IKEA-Dressers, one of the older ones with pure and solid wood. The younger ones are much worse: the wood is thinner, and the whole thing is "chipboard with veneer". They can't be changed anymore in the way you did it. Greetings from Germany! I like your work!
There is nothing I appreciate more than a 'how to' inspiration video without the stupid stock music jangling in the background. Okay, the videos with jazz are the worst, but the stock music crap is more common.
Thank you for letting me learn and enjoy the process quietly. This is very clear without being annoying.
makes me want to pick up some used ikea furnitures
You are the most meticulous and resourceful furniture artist I have found! Kudos on your RRR skills and your furniture skills.
I've stumbled upon your channel by accident and love everything about it. The editing, the no talking, the quality craftsmanship, etc. This is a beautiful piece and you've earned a new subscriber!
That's so ridiculously talented, i can't even...just WOW!
Hi from the U.K. You are so talented. Fab makeover. Love your videos, no talking just pure talent at work!
Thank you, from Canada! 😁
The editing on this video made my eyeballs feel like they were getting a warm fuzzy hug. I really like the way this flip turned out!
This is ASMR of furniture refinishing and I'm in love!
Such attention to detail!! If you sell your pieces I hope you're charging BIG BUCKS for that work. People often dismiss the amount of TIME that goes into furniture makeovers & wanna say "all you did was slap on some paint/stain & a few new drawer pulls!". But anyone who has done a GOOD job on even a simple tiny end table know that it takes TIME to do it right. That piece is stunning & sure to last many years! Tnx for sharing
My dad had an amazing work bench area in our basement while I was growing up. That spinning baby-food jar nail & screw holder would have sent him over the moon! :-D It's really fantastic! You did such a great job on this chest, NO ONE would know it was from lil old IKEA!
Very attractive to the eye...
Very cool project!!!! Keep em comin'
Thank you!!
Fantastic. If I hadn’t seen what you did I wouldn’t have believed the amazing transformation
What a great transformation! Love how you reused the bord from another furniture instead of buying new and also saved the wooden plugs.👏👏👏 and as everyone else said, great editing!
Gorgeous piece. You'd never guess it was from ikea furniture, well done 😊
That turned out beautifully. A big WOW from me.
Thank you! :)
Your flips are done with so much attention to detail. It is so inspiring to watch. I'm a novice at this but prefer to do something properly. This is one of my favorites.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️
Nice job! Love the way you shot and edited the video. Also the creative vision you had was excellent. Who else saw that beautiful piece hiding in that IKEA dresser? I didn’t. Keep up the great videos!
Wow, that is REALLY effective! These are the best kind of hacks, ones that are relatively easy to do but make 200% difference. The new dresser looks so classy and could easily be displayed.
Brilliant! No annoying commentary, just practical how-to. Thank you so much 100%
The only ASMR I've ever enjoyed! Came for the hack, stayed for the satisfying sounds.
You are a symphony! Awesome job.
I would loooovveeee a video from you on how you make some of your cool work shop things. Spinning jar nail holder is amazing! I'm now saving up my yogurt jars.
Maybe I’ll make a series for workshop hacks... Thanks for your suggestion! 😁
Amazing transformation. The best of the best IKEA hacks!!!!
I love these kind of transformation!! Bravo! I wish i could drill two holes at the same time too lol!
I appreciate how quiet your videos are! Thank you
😊🙏🏻
Your type of videos are my FAVORITE!!!!! No talking and cool sounds. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
Wow.. impressive 👍👏💯
random stuff: that basket with sponges I thought it was Swiss cheese with some sauce and they were taking a break to have some snack...
😂😂
Yep, had the same thought
I thought it was bees Wax 😂
I thought the same thing 🤣
So I was not the only one drooling 😂🤣🤣
Was surprised everything wasn't just particle board and laminate! Slick editing and great execution of vision
i love the sound design of these videos
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it!!
Found your channel by chance looking at recommended videos and I must say, your video is excellently shot and edited and your skill is clearly amazing. I love that you chose not to voice-over but also didn't add any silly royalty free music that makes me want to click away immediately. I'm off to binge-watch the rest of your videos because if they're anything like this one, I'll love them all!! Keep it up!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it Kelsey! 😁
Bravo! bravo! bravo!!!
WOW I didn't know one can mix mineral spirit with gel stain , learned something new. I LOVE a good ol victorian era medicine cabinet
What a work of art!
The difference from the before and after is amazing! Really gave the piece life! Wonderful work!!
One of the best DIY videos I’ve ever seen. Very soothing too!
Very impressed with how well the piece took stain with that conditioner!
I was sceptical.
It is gorgeous now!
I also think everything should be on wheels! 👍Love this!
Whoever does your editing is doing a MASTERFUL job. Great video.
I’ll let me know that you said that! 😆🙏🏻🙏🏻
Brilliant, just brilliant! Love it.
Love the way you record the sound of your work
That looks awesome!
We’ve been refinishing and up cycling furniture for years and I have to say we’re highly impressed with the quality and time you put into your work. Can’t wait to watch more. Thanks for sharing your talent!!
You've got skill! And patience. And lots of nifty tools I wish I had. This is gorgeous!
Brilliant! I love the way you work! 👍
Wow! Outstanding! Beautiful! I could watch you remake these furniture pieces all day. Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow! Great work. Just discovered your channel, love how you don't talk or play music, like everyone else does in furniture restoration videos. It's relaxing and unique. Thanks for (silently) explaining stuff as you go. 😊👍
The amazing transformation, the editing and the rotating nail organizer! Fantastic job
Love the way you saved the dowel pins for future use!
Love the “no talking “ the sounds of your talent speak … very soothing☺️🥰
Canadian! Finally someone who appreciates Robertson screws
Very nice ……..you did a wonderful job…..thanks for the tips such as conditioning the brush before clear coat.
Wow ! I’ve always wanted an apothecary, but their so expensive. Great substitute.
Excellent work! Picked up a few ideas and more understanding, thank you. Guess I'm finally going to have to break down and buy a router.
You know, this is a well done video. I really enjoyed the clarity of how instruction were done.
A short, pleasant, relaxing video. Kudos to you.
This is amazing! I have the same dresser and I'm tired of the look. I love what you've done here. I showed my hubby so now I just have to trust that a miracle will happen and he'll get it done for me. Thanks for the upload! ❤🙏
Thank you 😄 I’ll be rooting for him!!
Hey sorry for jumping in do you know what the dresser is call scrolling FB for a bargain right now
Wow!!! I refinish professionally and have never seen the cardboard for drilling hardware holes trick!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
It's called a template... weird comment from a "pro"...
Holy crap! You are the wood master
Those two guys at 1:25 are dressed identically!
(Great video work.)
OUTSTANDING WORK!!!
Great video for even a beginner like myself. Thank you for not blasting bad music and tool noise between moments of quiet...I always have to keep my finger on volume like a trigger on those bad videos. Also, snow in April ..ya live in Alberta Canada or what eh.
I’m in Ontario now, but I used to live in Alberta for many years so I know exactly what you’re talking about 😆
The editing is very artistic. I love how you duplicate yourself in the same frames.
Excellent! Liked & subscribed! Thank you for sharing.
Nicely done, great editing and videography. In particular the variable tones for the drawer fronts, very clever…I’d still love a proper multi drawer cabinet though.
Dude. Nice. 👌
😁🙏🏻
Wow! Amazing transformation!!
