I'm also female. 76, partially disabled and attempting to RE-restore earlier projects that didn't turn out the way I'd hoped. These videos are wonderful -- they explain what I wish I'd known without the condescension many of us (with female DNA) have come to (if not expect then) justifiably loathe. Rosie the Riveter has returned, armed with tools, knowledge and an attitude! We are saviors of the landfills, goddesses of retail renovation, and... *SISTERS, WE ARE DOING THIS!*

@theelizabethan1 Год назад

The dresser/credenza is an often-utilized piece in video makeovers. It makes a versatile and functional piece to incorporate into a room's decor. Your choice of color here is quite contemporary and should sell quickly. (Trashing the removed hardware is a thing too frequently done in a disposable economy, but these could instead be bagged and donated to a Habit for Humanity Restore location. There is someone who is looking for such items for their own restoration project.)

@itzakpoelzig330 Год назад

Yeah, I liked the drawer handles. I think they could have looked really cool on a different item.

@jodiq1272 Год назад

Was going to suggest donating the hardware, too. One person's trash ... :)

@nlh072853 Год назад

Brilliant idea. thank you for sharing

@pamelagipson8488 Год назад

It’s sad to think that all the makeovers today take a classic, vintage, quality piece and turn it into a piece that looks like today’s cheap pressed wood pieces.

@lillieberger2883 Год назад

@@pamelagipson8488 she did a beautiful job transforming an outdated piece that everyone has. There are pieces exactly like this in every Goodwill and resale shop. People are just giving them away, or throwing them out.

@brendastraley8829 Месяц назад

Never trash good quality or in good condition hardware. Crafters love to buy those and you never know when you'll need it. store all handwear from the same piece in it's own bag, then store all the bags in 1 place to find easier later. Plus in decants those handwear handles may be in style once again.

I’ve been wanting to replace it for a long while - so happy to watch this and see how it could look. Your instructions are clear and give me the confidence that I can do it myself, so thank you!

I have this original with large detachable mirror. Bought it at the Goodwill for $80 in 1986. Too much work FOR ME to re-do it. I actually like both looks. But when I down-size...maybe Someone will want to buy it. It has served me well & still does!! Interesting NEW look. Now...if I could only restore MYSELF as well-😂👍🏻

@kimberlyskreations8818 Год назад

Thanks for showing us 'newbies' how easy it can be to modernize an old outdated piece (which are a "dime-a- dozen" in my area!"). My favorite part is removing decorative pieces on each side. I would have never thought, or even known, you could do that. Thanks so much for all you do!

Just in time to refinish my disabled daughters bedroom set. It’s old and all wood and I originally purchased it for $375 at a resale shop. I could never have anything as nice as the one I’m going to refinish. Thank you so much for your encouragement. I’ve been procrastinating because I wasn’t sure where to start and thought it was going to be more messy. I’m so excited!!😊

@jules8910 Год назад

This dresser is SO beautiful and is the style and colors that make me happy; I love the cool colors of the beach look. I’m just back from my hometown where I unexpectedly lost my mother.😢 I now have a house full of beautiful pieces of furniture that have been in the family and many are well over 150+ years and hold so many memories. I cannot fathom selling them all, especially the beautiful buffet. I can perfectly picture it done in a way similar to the one in this video. I just can’t bare the thought of selling it. Thank you for sharing your talents and visions for people like me. God bless 💕

@mchfurniturerestoration Год назад

What i like best is how your tips are so practical and do-able. Oftentimes other channels offer suggestions that are so complicated they don't make any sense or selling you expensive tools or products to adopt. I love how you have both feet in the real world of furniture flipping and are sharing your hard earned experience advice with us, for free!!!

@melissamccarter6102 Год назад

This was just an amazing transformation! I love the light wood finish juxtaposed with the neutral gray shade! Thanks for mentioning that mineral spirits were needed to de-activate the stripper...didn't know that. I'm a real fan of your channel!

@fionalightspontaneous1924 Год назад

This piece transformed beautifully. I enjoyed watching the spray paint application, though I am a brush girl. I love seeing other people's work, creativity, and style. I read comments about the hardware, and it is your upcycling to do as you wish. I am a bit old fashioned and personally like the old hardware, yet we all have different styles. Your followers will either stay or pass through. Keep doing you. Your work is lovely 😍

Hi Kara. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and have found them to be extremely helpful. Currently I’m trying to start a small flipping business on the side - I work full time and have a daughter so it is hard to find the time but I really enjoy making a well loved piece into an updated functional piece of furniture. You always pay attention to detail in all your furniture refurbishing but I especially loved how the stain and color worked so well together in this dresser. It’s really a beautiful flip! ❤

@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture Год назад

Hi Kate! Thanks so much for your support!

@rebeccaforbes6755 Год назад

That dresser came out really nice! It looks so light. The before piece made me feel as though you'd need 2 or 3 people to move it and the end result gives the impression that one could move it around. LOL, amazing what paint and a the removal of just one feature can do. Nice Job!

@testymommy Год назад

What I liked most about today's flip is that it couldn’t have come at a more perfect time for me. My family is renovating our very old outdated house and we need to strip the paint from our doors and now I know how to start with that. Thank you, and I have subscribed.

I went to rzmask site and bought 2 masks and extra filters which qualified me for free shipping. I entered your promotional code and lost the free shipping. I took away the promotional code and it was $5 less costly with their free shipping. I guess I was right on the cusp. Anyway, I really like these masks and bought everything anyway because I need them for projects around our home like this and more. Just couldn’t save with your promotional code LEMONS. Thought you should know incase you get proceeds. Reach out to me if you want to know more. I’m not upset in the least. Happy you approve and recommend these masks. They let seem so much more comfortable than what we currently use. ❤
