Oh my gosh, that is GORGEOUS! and thank you so much for that breakdown! It's helpful to see how much time and energy goes into it as well as cost because that matters too
WOW that looks so much BETTER! Can’t believe the transformation. I see these on FB MP all the time and I wonder what would make it look better? This is it, what a nice job you did and it didn’t involve painting the piece.
Glad to see that you get it now-- that there is great beauty to be found in natural wood grain patterns. And that each piece of wood is unique, therefore creating the possibility of limitless numbers of furniture pieces that are UNIQUE. The refinished bureau is beautiful. Good work!
You did a Beautiful job! I’m in the process of refinishing some furniture for my granddaughters room. The work is a commitment! You really have to have patience and determination when you tackle this kind of project. To the person that accomplishes every step till the end, the reward carries a sense of satisfaction when you stand back and look at how you were able to take something old and make it new again. ❤
What product did you use to paint over and wipe off? Love that the wood grain still shows. We have this style in a buffet and china cabinet top. I'd like to uodate it. Thanks
This is absolutely gorgeous. I have a piece of furniture similar in length to this one that was painted. It's solid wood and I'd LOVE to transform it into this. Any pointers on which of your videos to start with for removing paint and giving it this type of look?? I love it so much!!
You're so much better at this than when I first started following you...like no shade or anything. I think your growth is impressive. Everything you're putting out looks great and much more high end.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for not following the trend of painting and leaving all or a few of the drawer fronts or just the top natural. Love the natural look. So fresh...
I don’t want to sound negative but I used to enjoy buying vintage and antique furniture on Facebook marketplace and you can’t get it intact anymore. Most pieces now have huge patches of attempted sanding, hardware removed or junky paint all over them because people tried to follow these tutorials and ruined a piece. Pieces that look like this aren’t always, or even often, solid wood. People are sanding veneer off of particle board. These videos need a disclaimer for non-professionals. Or a “do not try this at home, your results may vary and will probably just destroy your stuff”
The spongy sander attachment looks like a lifesaver! What type of clear coat did you use? I love that its not satin or glossy looking. Gorgeous work ❤❤❤
That's super cool. It would be awesome if your cost breakdown included your labor per hour. Time is worth something and when it comes to net profit that should be considered. So $580 is pre net. Still room for a great wage though depending on what you decide to pay yourself
Amen. I really don't like when people take perfectly good solid wood furniture and paint it. Pro tip, use stripper to get the finish off. It probably takes just as long but it's less work and you don't lose as much detail in the wood trying to sand stain off.
People really be thinking it takes 9 hours total. Time spent finding the item, time to load it, unload it, drive to get it. Gas to pick up. Place to store it, everythikg comes into play. And the paint gun doesn't cost 20$ nor do the tools to get the job done. But still a good flip.
I just bought a furniture piece very similar style but yellow 🥴. I’ve been daydreaming about it in a new color and this is what I’ve been envisioning!!
Beautiful. I rehab/ paint furniture and don’t know how to really even start selling it or find the time much to start projects when I plan since I have a bow 2 yr old . I started when I was pregnant with him , lol .
Beautiful. Allowing the natural wood finish is so much more appealing than an opaque painted finish. I've been an Interior Designer for over 20 yrs. Design trends are going back to wood finishes & beiges. Gone are painted white cabinets (hallelujah!) and gray. Follow design forecasting and your products will always be successful!
Thank you for this video. There’s no hope for some furniture and painting is fine. This piece however is absolutely stunning-so thanks for restoring it instead of painting it.
