Art Deco dresser RESTORATION / MAKEOVER using wooden blinds ! 

Restoration is absolute amazing, but the type off furniture is not my cup of tea !!! Never the less it is showing so much craftmenship and that is the biggest compliment you can ever get !!!!

You made the old girl proud to be of use again. Great job.

Not only a strong craftsman, also a true artist.

Wow! That turned out fantastic! A lot of people would have just removed the veneer and painted it, but this is sooooo much better! This will stand the test of time. Great job.

While watching this video, I thought, "no way is this going to work". Blinds, veneer issues, stripper problems, damaged piece?? And then boom! Viola...simply incredible, stunning piece. This was so satisfying to watch. Thank you for putting this video together and posting it. You are a true artisan.

Finally a furniture flipper with some skill and expertise! Not just sanding and painting with expensive hobby paint. Subscribed immediately.

You are ingenious! To repurpose those wood blinds was so impressive! I have tremendous respect for your artistic talent!!

What you’ve done here is stunning. The hardware really compliments the Art deco design of the original piece

This has got to be the most imaginative, professional make over I've seen to date, this piece is amazing and I would definitely make room for it in my house. 👌

Wow, just.... Wow!!! A master craftsman at the top of his game letting peek over his shoulder as he works. That was truly amazing. Your finished project is spectacular.

You truly have a love of restoring furniture and the patience that goes along with it. From the before pictures I would have probably just set fire to it.😞 Wonderful job and transformation.

It has gone from war time budget range dresser to Art Deco. The new legs gives it a classic art deco vibe. Lovely.

It was art deco, but now it's ART DECO! The legs are a perfect touch. And the wooden blinds, I appreciate how far out of the box you're willing to go.

Your knowledge of wood, tools, an stain is astounding.I'm sitting here just in awe of your work. Your an artist !

So obvious you love what you do and do what you love. The more you do this the more creative and resourceful you become. Your pieces are beyond gorgeous. You make anything old, tired and just about ruined, come to life even better than the original. Missed your kitty friends this episode 😊😺

I love that you re-used the blinds. We all need to learn to repurpose things.

Exquisite! You can make the most humble cast-off look like an exotic treasure from foreign travels. Love it. I enjoy your frugal use of resources; just shows that brains and design sense are more important than money. Keep up the good work!

Love the use of wooden blinds, very resourceful!

Better than the original. The attention to detail is one of your many strengths. Again, an excellent outcome.

I Love your vision of what this poor piece of furniture could become. Love the transformation!

I watch a few furniture repair / flip channels. I came over from Mad City This Art Deco flip is maybe one of the best ones I have seen. Ingenius to up cycle the wooden blinds! This piece is just gorgeous!!!

When you said that you were attaching blinds to the drawers, I thought ...no way is that going to look good. Boy was I wrong. Somehow it all works so well together. Great imagination and job well done!

Wow! I just found you channel, and watched because the title caught my attention. I was intrigued at the thought of using the wooden blinds. I have to say, I was blown away. I watch alot of people making older, beat up furniture pieces look good again. BUT YOU ARE IN A WHOLE DIFFERENT CATEGORY! I so admire and respect the way you lovingly touch every inch of the furniture you are restoring. Your attention to detail is like none of the other people I have been seeing on youtube. It's really nice to watch you give your pieces a new chance at being beautiful and loved once again. So glad I found your channel, I am a huge fan already.

A+ for workmanship A+ for creativity Thank You

This is beyond incredible! This is next level insanely good. I’m pretty sure my jaw was dropped the entire video. Thank you. 😍

The hardware and legs are stunning, and using the wooden blinds was brilliant!

My goodness! WOW WOW WOW what a beauty you've done to this old dresser lady. The handles and legs of the dresser are a decoration that highlights the beauty hidden beneath all these years of neglect. Magnifico!!

So often I see "makeovers" that destroy the original style of the furniture, so I was very happy to see that the makeover kept the deco style so well without using new veneer. Great job!

You took a neglected piece and made it to a one of a kind piece,while thinking out of the box and make it even better. Gorgeous piece of Art!! Deco

That’s amazing. I’m impressed in the amount of work that you put into the details. The creativity with the inlay, the legs, and especially the blinds is inspirational. I’m also quite impressed that you did the inside. Of all the furniture artists that I’ve watch - you are the ONLY one that refinished the inside. And I’m always talking to the video asking the artists if they really expect me to put my belongings into the drawers or doors? Thank you.

My grandmother had that exact dresser and I always loved it. It seemed so glamorous.

I'm REALLY glad that was water haha! Brilliant initiative using the blinds, bravo.

That is gorgeous! So clever to use the slats from the blinds

You are such a talented artist. I love Art Deco and so many times I see pieces that need loving restoration like yours. Thank you for preserving this beauty. Your attention to detail and creative use of materials is sunshine to my heart! 💜

Your skills, experience, professional level tools compliment your vision of what these old found pieces of furniture can be. Thank you for sharing your creativity. Inspiring really!

Wow! The amount of work it took to save this beautiful piece! I would never thought about using the blinds. Genius!

Your creative problem solving is second to none!!! And your patience and attention to detail is amazing. Very inspiring!!

You are a master of woodworking and thinking out of the box using the blinds! Just stunning piece!

Beautiful transformation! I never would have thought to reuse wood blinds and will now keep my eyes out for them. They remind me of wine barrel staves.

Amazing transformation and how you’ve used a wooden blind is brilliant!

Such creativity and attention to detail! Great job re-imagining that poor old dresser into a brand new life!

This was one of the most fascinating makeovers I have ever seen! Beautiful result! Bravo!

Wow!!! Your creative imagination is mind-blowing! U gave this dresser a whole new beautiful life ❤

Beautiful, just beautiful. I love seeing old furniture brought back to life. It’s like an old black and white film with a honky tonk piano sound track suddenly in blazing technicolour with a full multi sensory soundtrack. Thank you. Maybe one day I can do the same…

Oh my! Found you Sunday and binged watch you. You really are amazing, calming and thoroughly care about your projects. Thank you!

I love the recycling of the window blinds! What a brilliant idea 🐝❤️🤗

Смотрю на вашу работу уже второй раз.От ваше работы аж дух захватывает.Настолько вы профи и так красиво ,с любовью вы выполняете свою задумку.Вы великолепный мастер реставрации .Каждая ваша работа ,это очередной шедевр.Спасибо за доставленное удовольствие от вашего ролика и от вашей прекрасной работы.

Those stained blinds capture the essence of that piece's place in history; it all looks so well put together. Just beautiful! (I think, from having watched several of your videos, that you love the furniture from the Deco decades and era as much as I do!)

I love how you recycle. I make art using everything. It’s a lot of fun turning junk into art or something useful.

So unique now. Love the way it's been sort of modernised but still has that whole deco vibe. The new handles are fab. I didn't really like the feet until you put those handles on, then they all gelled together perfectly.

Such a unique piece indicative of the Art Deco period. Beautiful workmanship and I love how you repurposed the wooden blinds. Better than them ending up in the landfill.

Love your creative art work and your sense humour 😂 Great wood 🪵 work!

I love seeing things reclaimed and made beautiful again. Absolutely wonderful job!

The fact that those drawer pulls were all there is amazing! They are gorgeous.

Loved that you found the wooden blinds and used them.

It's looks great and the wooden blind makes the piece looks modern with an Art Deco twist.

Wow, I am blown away at how gorgeous and unique this piece turned out to be! Who would of thought wood blinds could look spectacular on furniture. You really have a great imagination and vision when transforming these sad pieces of furniture. They look very high end when done.

It does look very pretty. The extra detail provided by the wooden strips is most attractive. Like the hardware too. Excellent job!

I would have never thought of putting a blind on a furniture! 😉 How original! 😊

Wow, absolutely amazing !, what imagination and artistry !!!!!! I thought I was the only one who saved wood blinds for projects - usually find them trash hunting !lol

17K subs!! So we'll deserved Bud. I'm Honored to say I was on board at 700 subs. I knew it would take off as you do some FANTASTIC projects Bud!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!

When I saw those wooden blinds I knew you were going to do something special. But this was phenomenal. I love recycling and Up cycling furniture in particular but you take it to the next level. Waste not, want not. You “really” get it! Just awesome!

What a trip! I would never, I a million years have thought of using those blinds. Good on you! I hope you destroyed the 'Made in 1960' sign that was on it.

Another masterpiece!! You have inspired me to try and refinish an old wood door that I saved from my childhood friends home. I will be referring back to your videos at every step.

I am in awe, the time and patience you put into restoring this vintage dresser. I have done my fair share of salvaging furniture, I was amazed at the creativity and time you put into this piece.

You do amazing work.This was my first time ever watching your work and nothing seems to slow you up or stump you.You certainly know your stuff.I love old vanities in that era as well.

I love having a vanity like this. Had one as a young girl. Got left behind when we moved. But it was never this stunning I am sure. You could turn a broken down piece of garbage into a beautiful work of art. Magic fingers.

I don't know how I missed this one, Jay. Thank goodness it showed up in my feed today. This is beautiful! The use of the blinds and your choice of aging them is a mind blown moment. Thanks for always sharing your talent. 💕

Absolutely beautiful, you are a master restorer!

Totally speechless on this one Jay! Simply Beautiful!

The legs that were added really made this piece come together. Great job.

You do amazingly meticulous work! Your vision for this piece is truly unique and beautiful! Truly, one of a kind! Superb job!

It's absolutely beautiful! The choice of hardware is superb! Brand new life for this one! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Stunning 🤩 no other words required. You are truly gifted Jay, been subscribed for along time and follow you weekly, but this is beyond words. Keep up the good work 😃

Great idea to upcycle those blinds. It turned out really well.

Absolutely beautiful. What a fabulous refurb of something that others would scrap for firewood. Great use of the timber blinds!!!!

So beautiful-and perfect choice of hardware! Smart idea using wood blinds. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely stunning! Your attention to detail and your depth of knowledge created a gorgeous piece. So glad I stumbled upon your channel.

So nice to see you pay attention to all part of the piece....the inside as well as the outside surfaces.

Great job, excellently done, loved the use of the old Venetian blinds! Genius 👍👍👍👍

Hey friend. Tip for you I learned from an old-time furniture restorer: When stripping furniture, after you apply stripped, put wax paper over the stripper. This forces the stripper into the wood, and fumes will be less evaporated. You will save time, effort, and product. This tip is worth GOLD. Good luck. Nice Video. Great outcome.

🤩 Wow that is a seriously major transformation…so unique, a really bespoke piece of furniture. Well done 🙌

My mum still has one of these in her upstairs bedroom covered in green and white paint. I remember when it was still brown in the 80s.

From Art Deco to Steampunk! What a trip!

It blows me away that you looked at that falling apart, throw away piece of furniture, and saw this potential. What incredible work you do 🙂

I love how the wood slats set the drawers and sides in a slightly different shade. It makes it pop. Very nice

It has a certain oriental vibe! I absolutely love it. Thanks so much for sharing this! 🌹

Oh boy I remember my granny having this furniture I see it in 60s stunning 😁

I love watching the transformations you create! Wow, this is so cool! You’ve got a gift, that’s for sure. Keep up the great work‼️👍🥰

Again, I am in awe. You and Barry are my favorite furniture refinishes. Whenever I see your names I immediately turn to your channels. This piece is so stunning and of course, the wooden blinds are ingenious!!!

I would buy that piece in a minute! It's gorgeous. I loved watching you use all your tools. So good to see a REAL Craftsman!

😱, what a gorgeous transformation 😍

This looks magnificent ❤️ all your work really paid off !!!!

I am just speechless Jay and as my husband says, that’s rare! 😂 You always produce amazing pieces. This was a sad looking piece of furniture turned beautiful. (By the way, thanks for letting us know that was “water” and not something else.” ) 🙈 I love your sense of humor! 👏🌹 P.S. Where do you sell your pieces?

Well that top coat was just not wanted to give in for you. Love how you use the old wooden blinds. Very clever. It is beautiful.

What a transformation!! The new legs are perfect!!

Isn’t it amazing what some people can see in their minds eye of an old dresser. The old saying of someone’s trash is someone else’s treasure, really rings true here. It was inspiring to watch you work, your attention to detail 👍 Finished article a unique piece. Thank you for posting, greetings from 🇦🇺

Really looking forward to seeing this. You have such great ideas. You have inspired me and I have renovated a small chest of drawers 🤘

Love the legs, brass accents, and use of wooden blinds 👍

I was transfixed. Couldn't look away. Masterful. Including the voice, video and editing. Thank you so much for sharing what you obviously love to do. Lucky world!
