I found this old dresser for $50 at the thrift store. With the green glazed finish and the mismatched hardware, I knew this project would be a challenge. I will attempt to restore this furniture by removing the old paint with scrapers, sanders and paint stripper. I will apply lacquer using my HVLP sprayer. Finally, I will clean the old hardware and attempt to find a few matching drawer pulls. Thank you for your support, and enjoy this video. Barry

@deborahmatatall 2 года назад

A lovely transformation. I recognize that terrible finish. It looks like a diy finish popular in the 60s and 70s. It was purchased as an “antiquing kit.” It contained green, gold or antique white paint and a shade of brown glaze. Paint it, let it dry, brush the stain on and voilá! You had an antique! Truly horrible. I’m glad you removed everything. That poor dresser was suffocating!🌸

@MadCityModern 2 года назад

Great feedback. I am learning so much from this. Thank you

@argusfleibeit1165 2 года назад

@@MadCityModern Yes, my father did a lot of this around 1968-70. The line of paints and glaze he used offered avocado green, colonial blue, barn red, and mustard gold. He painted two Victorian style chairs and two tables from an "antique" store, and cut down the legs to make coffee tables, and did them in avocado. There was also a large heavy oak desk from the 1940s along with an oak desk chair, and a heavy oak rocker that he did in the barn red. And we had a secretary desk from my Grandmother that he did in the blue. Eventually my mom got tired of the green stuff and we repainted them with black enamel paint. My dad went on a real tear with the "antiquing".

@janbaer3241 2 года назад

There was also the 1970s fad of making furniture look like 'Spanish antiques.' Hit it with hammers/chains to give it dents, poke holes with an ice pick, and then stain it very dark.

The wood furniture whisperer strikes again! What I see quite a bit of in the comments section of each of your videos is the folks thanking you for salvaging pieces of furniture that have been through the ringer. I'll add my voice to the choir. Thank you for finding and restoring these pieces. People really don't know what they have until they sell it for $5-$50 bucks and then see what they really had all along. You are truly an artist.

@MadCityModern 2 года назад

@julieakinney4028 2 года назад

I come for the restorations and your attention to detail. I stay for the humor. Today it was the extra whipped cream. So funny, yet necessary. Love watching your hard work and the amazing results you get. I also love your sly wit. Thank you for sharing both!

@MadCityModern 2 года назад

I really appreciate this

@DawnDavidson Год назад

I laughed at the extra dollop of whipped cream, too! My mother refinished one of my dressers in this finish in the late 60’s. I remember it well! 😂 She did a lot of furniture painting. I think she repainted our kitchen table - a drop leaf - about 4 times during the 11 years we lived in Rochester NY! I clearly remember black, white, and red, at least. Fortunately, not everything she did was avocado green! She also painted a “headboard” on my wall in a “tole painting” style, with orange and yellow flowers, and green leaves. It was pretty nice, actually, for the time. I had very bad allergies as a kid, so she worked to keep things as dust free as possible, so painting the “headboard” was part of that. Thanks for sharing the lovely results of your restoration. I’m sure the dresser is sighing with relief!

@christinebrady6842 2 года назад

I recognize that paint technique. It was a trend in the 1970s called "Antiquing." My mother painted several dressers in our house that way. One was a pretty blue, and two small ones in a much better shade of green than this one. BTW, I see you did finally put your lunch in that fridge; a deconstructed lunch, but still...

@MadCityModern 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing this. I always love learning from others after I finish these projects

@ac1929 2 года назад

It was sold in the Sears catalog. I used the dutch blue color on my bedroom furniture when I was a teen in the 70's.

@annw1395 2 года назад

Yeah, in the 1970s, one relative "painted antiqued" over an heirloom mahogany desk. Tragic!

@celestewatson4874 2 года назад

Yep! My dad did a bedroom set in this almost exactly. My FIL did a huge breakfront he'd built himself, also in green.

@rofree2470 2 года назад

@aaronandrews3059 2 года назад

A man after my own heart. I like a little pancake with my whipped cream. Yum! A total labor of love, but the results as stunning. Kudos to the person who painted that dresser. They did all the prep and steps so the paint wouldn't come off. The wood looks like either birch or maple. Best way to tell the differencr is the fingernail test. If it doesnt scratch its maple. Thanks again for another great video!

@MadCityModern 2 года назад

Haha. Well said

@danjoe22 2 года назад

@fraserwrobb3075 2 года назад

My mother painted the furniture in my childhood bedroom the same way, same green as well. New home in 1973, and several of our neighbors did the same faux graining techniques, always green! I still have my green bookcase at my cabin and it actually fits the decor pretty well!

@MadCityModern 2 года назад

@dunnart100 Год назад

My dad and I built my high school study desk in the mid 70s and we painted it with a similar. but not as dramatic paint job. It was painted green and then black paint was wiped on using a sponge to give the fake grain effect. The black paint and sponge was sold as a kit. The desk is still being used for storage in my home office.

The green finish looks very much like a fad finish from the late 60s and 70s called "antiqueing". And the green is right in line with one of the popular colors used in the process. That may not be what was intended, but it's quite similar. A lot of good furniture was ruined doing that. I really like what you've done here, Barry.

That green “antique” paint was awful…and so 1970s! Thank you for returning it to stained wood. I’m really not a fan of painted furniture, unless there’s just no other way to save it. Does anyone make the wooden “handles” like the picture showed that it originally had? I would think that if one such piece could be found, somebody with the right router bits could mill a few lengths of that configuration for you to keep on hand. (Yes, I know, money, money, money!) A millwork shop would probably have all the router bits, and could do it fairly inexpensively. Nice job, as always!

Hi Barry, Another lovely restoration.. The colour of the stain/glaze is beautiful…I agree with you about the hardware the mismatch isn’t right..I am sure when you change them it will elevate the piece

Barry, you have such appreciation for items of bygone eras it seems you should have been born decades earlier. Do you ever feel that way? Your attention to detail and organizational skills are truly impressive. I enjoyed this video. And the pancakes looked yummy!💕

That turned out well. I remember the late 60s and my parents did the same paint treatment to our blond side tables and coffee table. I always hated that gross green that was antiqued with the dark brown. It was popular back then.

@MadCityModern 2 года назад

I continue to hear about this being common in the 60s. Thank you for sharing

This dresser looked like a cheap, chintzy thing in the beginning and although I’m not crazy about the stain color or the hardware it now looks so solid and high end. Another great job.

Thank you so much. I also was not a fan of either

@holly5791 2 года назад

What a beauty! What a lot of work to get there. As if that awful green paint was not bad enough, then another layer to deal with. Yes, you got quite the workout on this one. I would say the end product was worth it! Great job! 🙂

Good job Barry. Turned out good. I would like to see the new hardware you decide to put on it. So, how long did it take you from start to finish? Thank you, Cindy

You never cease to amaze me. I love how this transformation turned out. It reminds me of a classic car going from cheap looking modifications back to its original glory. It's a classic piece of furniture. Simply beautiful.

You live in a beautiful area. Around here, i live about 30 miles from Myrtle Beach and about 60 miles from Wilmington NC. Development and over development is running rampant. Its truly sad that there isnt miles and miles of country the way there used to be. We used to take drives thru the country when i was growing up. We all loved it. We lived in a small town called Tabor City at the time. It was a Sunday afternoon treat. ❤

@tiffanytrippeer5401 2 года назад

As always, love the work you do ☺️. I know you also restorations on other types of furniture and curious if you know anything about 1950’s-60’s kitchen tables that had the chrome around the sides and Formica on top? I have a table that belonged to my grandparents and trying to find the best way to restore it and if you had any suggestions they’d be much appreciated. If not, that’s ok too. 😊

@MadCityModern 2 года назад

Most of those were plated, so try using a metal polish gently. Let me know how this goes
