Every now and then, this hardcore furniture PAINTER puts the paint aside and restores a piece. This stunning mahogany dresser was pretty perfect as it was and just needed a slight fix to the top and drawer fronts. Not so much of a flip as a restoration.

Thank you!!! My girlfriend has been trying to convince me to ditch my 1930s veneer mahogany buffet and China cabinet that are in pristine condition. She told me at the very least you should paint it with chalk paint. I am so glad you saw the value in this piece! It helps me commit to the pieces that I've inherited. I will continue to mix them in with a few contemporary pieces and artwork, but I am not getting rid of them. I will continue to mix them in with a few contemporary pieces and artwork, but I am not getting rid of them to buy a cheap substitute, or painting them something trending.

@salvagedbykscott 3 года назад

That mix of antique furniture with modern art and decor is SUPER on trend right now! If you want to paint, paint. But if you don’t, there’s no pressure ❤️ whatever makes you feel happy in your space is the right choice.

@2Cambell 3 года назад

Oiy!!! Chalk paint? On your 1930s piece? That would be a recognizable regret the moment the first coat of that was brushed on. Even she would see it. The recovery time might last longer than your relationship. 😯 Continue to integrate your inherited treasures with things that you love to make your home fabulous! The style is eclectic and as long as you don't overcrowd things, it will be unique and wonderful!!! 😀 Hubby and I inherited pieces from the 1800s to mid-century modern. Plus, the pieces that he built himself, when we got married in the 90s (beautiful wood, simple). I do the art. It works.

@Dingle1234 3 года назад

Red Mahogany is fantastic! Bought a piano that had been refinished with it back in the 90s and have loved it ever since. It's not really as red as it appears here when wet, a very neutral colour that would suit any kind of decor.

@jeffreybelanger3723 3 года назад

This piece turned out beautiful! I do have a question about spraying, I mixed a valspar color sample with bb frosch paint transformer and sprayed with my cambell hausfield sprayed and my paint came out patchy. It was my first time spraying paint so I don’t know what I did wrong.

@salvagedbykscott 3 года назад

Make sure you filter your paint, especially if it’s been mixed with powder and then play around with the consistency until you get it flowing smoothly. It takes a little time to get it down pat 😉❤️

I have some beautiful oak pieces handed down to me that just need some clean up to restore the beauty so this was so helpful for me and I am ready to take them on. I like that you kept the knobs.

That turned out gorgeous. You're right sometimes you need to just embrace the wood. You did a wonderful job. And that little sanding boo boo and any other little imperfections are just fine. It's an old piece and it's not going to be perfect. But you made it nearly perfect! Great job. I have a number of old pieces in my home, a 1938 bedroom set that belong to my in laws. I would never put paint on that it's too beautiful.

@ashleyhansen7146 3 года назад

Thankyou for the tips on sanding with the orbital! I’ve noticed some swirl marks which really bothered me. I’ve been going from 80 to 120 to 220...Im going to try a more gradual increase on grits to see if that helps!!🤞🏼

Since this was just a large flat surface the larger orbital sander was more efficient than the tiny SurfPrep detail sander that I have. I am saving up for a SurpPrep orbital though 😉

@conniesisco6468 3 года назад

@@salvagedbykscott That makes sense! I’m still trying to talk myself into the 3x4. Lol I don’t sell, I just upcycle for myself, family and friends so it’s hard to justify the expense in my mind.

This beautiful piece, and your obvious reverence for the process and the outcome, were very engaging. I've always loved watching your videos, and this one was especially poignant. Thanks for sharing your adventure with this lovely old gal. She's beautiful.

@LaughingInTiny 3 года назад

I feel like I say this on most of your videos but THANK YOU for being respectful of the work that originally went into these furniture pieces. People don't realize that many of the UNPAINTED originals can't be recreated now because of craftsmanship and because the material (woods) simply aren't available anymore. If I had had to watch you paint burlwood I may have wept. I love that you not only respect the piece and its history but also educate others to do so as well. Funny not funny story... My father had a large collection of burlwood stored in our woodshed for a number of years with the intent to do the wood finishes in our home custom... His evil horrific gf one day weirdly decided to be "helpful" and cut the firewood that he "never seemed to get around to chopping" and chopped the entire pile into chunks. 😳☹️

@2Cambell 3 года назад

YES!!! This is beautiful! I do like wood, often, it's a travesty to cover up beautiful pieces with paint. I also love the burl... Yep, keep saving the paint for the pieces that could only improve with covering them up.

@seagal-1 3 года назад

I have a similar dresser that I've had for maybe 50 years and it was considered old when I bought it at a St. Vincent de Paul thrift shop in Boston for probably $20. I tried to get a lower price ($20 was a lot then at a thrift store) but I knew it was a quality piece when I saw the joint construction. It's also missing the original mirror so it has 2 small holes, but that never bothered me. It's 50" wide with three drawers on the top then two full width drawers (no burl). The top three have brass knobs; the bottom 2 have pulls. The brass is very subtle as it's very tarnished. Even the insides of the drawers are beautifully finished. At some point I stripped some of the varnish off the face of the drawers giving them a slightly lighter and flatter look. I have dragged this bureau around on many moves, but it has certainly held up. Wouldn't dream of painting it.

@estelsaradop492 3 года назад

There's no way we can miss your point. It's like trying to put makeup on a naturally beautiful face.....it would end up looking like a clown. One objection, though. I can't help but feel that it could have done with different hardware. 💝

@brendatomlinson 3 года назад

It IS a masterpiece! Just for reference, I had a very similar set - armoire, 3-drawer chest, and vanity - and the pulls were solid brass teardrop. It was my own bedroom set bought straight from a shipping container from England. I didn’t refinish furniture then. I could never get the burl wood conditioned well enough. It was like a sponge!

@KatherineTheGr8t 3 года назад

Now that is my preference for almost all of the flips I see on RU-vid. This dresser/buffet is absolutely gorgeous...and you going to 300 & 400 grit, it's nice to see someone (you) put so much love and care into the restoration of what will soon be a cherished
