I found this old Art Deco Chest of Drawers listed on Facebook Marketplace for $30. Although the Art Deco Style originated in the 1920s and 1930s, I cannot say with certainty the age of this dresser specifically. The dresser had been painted yellow. It was my intention to refinish this piece and complete a full restoration if necessary. Luckily, there were only minor structural repairs for this project. I stripped the old finishes using paint stripper, sanded the entire piece, and applied several final finishes using General Finishes products and Howard's Feed and Wax wood polish and conditioner. This is one of my favorite furniture restorations. You don't want to miss this transformation.

I am humbled by all of the support for this video. Thank you to every single one of you! Barry

I've long thought how much I'd rather see shows with people like you bringing "updated"/"renovated" furniture and spaces back to their original and historical splendor. No, not everything is worth restoring back to original, but so many things people mark as "dated" and tear down, pull out, paint, and overall modernize are absolutely worth saving and preserving. No, this dresser is not everyone's style, but that coat of paint didn't really change it's style. I would say it would have been better left alone, but then you wouldn't have gotten ahold of it and not only put it back right but probably better than it had been in a long time -- if ever. As a Historian and furniture lover, I thank you for what you do. I get tears in my eyes on almost every single one of your videos watching you take the time to fix and honor these gorgeous pieces of furniture that just needed someone to see their natural beauty as worth the time and effort. Thank you. ❤ Edit: And thank you for sharing that love and effort with all of us.

For a guy that continues to say he doesn’t know what he’s doing, you continue to impress me. You do beautiful work.

This is the first tutorial of yours that I have seen. My first observation is that you have integrity. You don’t do glitz and hype and that means I subscribed because I can learn from you. You don’t just paint and update but did well at making the piece restored to its’ former glory. You speak calmly and you don’t just chatter to make yourself be something that you aren’t. Bravo on doing a great job restoring, teaching and contributing to a healthy and peaceful RU-vid community. Glad I found your channel.

Imagine seeing that beautiful dresser and thinking to yourself, "you know what would make it even better? If i painted it bright yellow". Great job on the resto!!

I am a huge fan of Art Deco, with several waterfall pieces of my own. It breaks my heart every time I see someone "modernize" a piece with paint, so I was overjoyed to see you actually restore a piece to its wood finish. Great work! Thank you!!

It was almost as if that poor dresser heaved a sigh of relief when that paint came off. It is almost certainly from the 30's by the look of the construction. Too often we are too quick to throw things away but that dresser is almost 100 years old and still doing the job it was made to do. I am thrilled that you revealed that glorious wood grain it's like a burst of sunshine. Thank you so much this made my day. Good luck to you keep learning and keep up with the wonderful things you do.

I'm 66 years old and I remember my grandmother's dressing/vanity table. Watching her with the tray/with brush and comb and putting her lipstick (outlining her lips with a tiny brush) on.

@aryanahartwell3801 2 года назад

Bravo. Your editing, close-ups, slo-mo and music choices just keep getting better and better. It's the small attention to details, like throwing the screws into the magnetic dish, the close-up action of stripped paint pushing towards the camera and then the final reveal and it's many angles with before and after. What a beautiful ending to a story well told.

@christinebrady6842 2 года назад

I watch because it is so calming to see something be healed and well cared for. The reveal is always so breath-taking.

@lindaj1957 Год назад

For the life of me, I'll never understand why someone would paint something so beautiful.

@adammunoz4138 2 года назад

It’s refreshing to see someone so thankful and humble as you are on RU-vid. The time and care you put into these pieces is inspiring. My wife and I are fans of your work!

@Iasami 2 года назад

I feel like as much gratitude as you have for all your supporters, I have for you and all the work you put into making these videos for us. I also want to say that I really enjoyed the bird song and sounds in this video.

@elaineholthaus2298 2 года назад

I know I'm not the only one who copes with weather-exacerbated anxiety by witnessing a beautiful piece buried under an unfortunate overcoat brought out to a rich, and shiny finish. The sound of your voice, and your calm progress makes this channel exceptional. Thanks loads, and Happy Spring 🌷!!

@moondoggie1987 2 года назад

I just personally enjoy watching people that give love to items that otherwise would be forgotten by time.

@vbee3571 2 года назад

Oh my goodness! It is beautiful! I could almost hear it sigh when that yellow paint came off. With so many people painting old furniture nowadays, we need all your tips and techniques on how to get back to the original look on the ruined pieces. Your calm, clear instructions are reassuring to beginners and also to those with some experience. Your videos are one of the few I watch with the sound on. I have just discovered your channel but I’ll be back. I enjoyed this very much!

This dresser was so lucky to end up in your tallented sensible hands!! It was reborn in its best version! An object of desire 😍

My 5 year old - "When he did all that work by himself, it looks super duper nice". I have to agree lol. Stunning restoration. What a beautiful piece of furniture in its original state.

I'm a painter. I generally paint for myself as I don't have the personality to successfully flog my work. In order to stay fired up, I wanted to find something that would counteract the shittiness of the world and add something good to my day............You are it! What a lovely, tranquil
