Let's be honest. The original piece was exquisite.
absolutely! And i really hoped to accentuate that exquisite look to the best of my ability 😄
thanks for watching Sloan
I was just thinking that. It was elegant. The paint modernizes it but also cheapens it.
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacherfirst piece I’ve seen that should have stated the way it was. To me this is a fail.
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher I love what you did with this set. Beautiful.
Absolutely agree!
Love the French linen but I would have stained the tops a rich dark brown to set off the bronze hardware. It looks great as is, just giving my desire.
As an interior designer, I can say your price is more than fair for the quality of the pieces and the brand new finish.
I was so hoping for the blue! I'll never understand the love for beige and gray. Boring and depressing. I'm so glad color is starting to make a comeback! 😁 You do a fantastic job, lady, regardless of colors used! You deserve every penny you earn.
You won't "understand"? You know WOOD is beige, gray and brown right? Ever see old Hollywood glam movies? WHITE and SILVER NOT "BLUE". You're living in hippie days or another country.
Agree! So sad color…
@@huitrecouture I see you feel very passionate about this. 😂
Greige ...ugh! It’s like a worldwide epidemic. Safe of course for people with no imagination and lucrative for one particular interior designer in UK. I can’t live without colour in my life! This set is lovely, for me, I would have loved, colour, if painted, then waxed or distressed a little to add some interest. But that said, great job. And someone will snap it up.
Thankfully, we all have different tastes and ideas about what we want for our own homes and these days, a vast range of products to get us there. I never mind painting repro furniture, or pine but genuine antiques, no. A refresh then enjoy the beauty of wood and craftsmanship that created them.
I love the french linen color. The set turned out so beautifully. I would have liked to see some dark stain on the top along with some buffing of the details with a darker stain to make those carved details and grooves stand out a bit.
I find the French linen color boring and flat, but I agree additional effort with darker wash on the carved details to make them stand out would greatly improve the pieces.
Love the colour but I would like the plain wood top with it
Lauren, I'm only 8 minutes in, but I had to stop and tell you how much I truly appreciate you going into detail of why you are doing whatever it is to the piece. You are an awesome teacher, and it's just as awesome for those of us learning from you. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Well said
Oatmeal.
Such a gorgeous set and the result is beautiful. I love the more interesting colors, like the midnight. I also really am starting to get more into updated wood tones. Wood finishes that don't have that red or orange tint to them and don't have that shiny, glossy to look to them...more of a matte finish. I love dark walnut because it matches my victorian home's staircase. I have a french provincial dresser in my daughters room that is very similar to that linen color (it's the original paint color!), but it's scratched up a little here and there and I'm encouraged to give it a makeover now. Thank you!!
I had this set when I was a child, they were white with gold trim. Back to the 60’s 😁
I have done a few of those as well!
My sister had the same white set with a canopy bed.
We still have some of that set a nightstand and dresser and mirror..wish I had the hutch ❤
I had this set too when I was first married in 1966, cream color with gold trim
I had a set like that as well, 3 dressers, dressing table, canopy bed and night tables…hated it from day 1… still don’t care for French Provençal…I would turn the set into fire wood….I am glad some one cares enough to do such a nice refinish for it
I love watching you. You know your stuff. If I happen to watch someone else refinishing furniture, and they don’t do it like you I just want to stop them and tell them they aren’t doing it right.
😂😂 love this but I domt know everything there is to know haha! appreciate your support!!
I've watched others and they sand before they clean. NO NO NO NO!
You did a great job. It looks great, but I'm old school and prefer how it was before you did your magic. Still, you did a great job! ❤
You did an amazing job, while I'm not a fan of the color, I do like the finished result. I think I would choose to give them an aged finish- rub some dark brown or charcoal color over them and wipe the excess away to highlight all the intricate details that get sort of lost in the monotone color
Remember, your labor is not cheap. Hope you keep your invested time plus supplies. So happy you’re reworking old quality furniture.
thank you for sharing the hours you spent. i am a beginner and i painted 2 seven draw dressers, 2 night stands and a mirror frame and with material and supplies i wanted $930. the client refused and only paid me $500. See the time you spent confirmed to me the time i spent was not out of line
I've had a chest and dresser provincial set for at least 30 years. I always wanted to refinish it in a blue.Then along came my only granddaughter who fell in love with it as it was and wanted it in her bedroom. I'm now retired and brought it with me to my retirement house. I recently repaired and refinished a curbside find ,cane chairs, dining room table and coffee table for my granddaughter and her family. She loves old! So this winter I am going to finally finish this provincial set that now sits in my bedroom. Also a buffet, that is just like one you've refinished.Thanks for always going step by step. Love everything you do and the step by step instructions.
sounds like you have a great family!! glad you enjoy the videos! thanks for watching and good luck on your projects!!
Grand daughter has SMARTS!
You are so good at the flipping and the teaching about it. Thanks for sharing!!
Lauren, I seldom comment here, this is stunning !!!! I love the color top and base. You couldn't have chosen a more beautiful color. Love watching you do what you do !!! I'm not a huge fan of French provincial, but this set took my breath away! ❤
I really like the French Linen colour. Nice choice, classic with a modern slant
This turned out so lovely - I think it will sell quickly for full price. Color choice was spot on.
$250 to begin with was a steal!! They look beautiful!! They will fit in with any decor style.
I totally agree! I HAD to have them!!
I love the results. It looks so expensive. I don’t even think it reads as much French provincial as it just does elegant
I liked it better brown, tbh.
I definitely think the neutral color choice was smart but I don’t care for the way the tops turned out. I’m sure that in person the wood shows through a lot more but don’t you feel like a wood stain might have been a bit more dramatic? Just a thought. The set is beautiful and you really did a fantastic job both with the project and with your detailed instructional video. Thank you for taking the time to pass on your knowledge!
Bleach the wood and use a light color for accents. 😊 You always make great/creative decisions for your flips.
It’s absolutely beautiful. I hope you get what you are asking.
I hope so too! thanks!!
I DOUBT IT! It will cost 300. for strippers and 200 hours of work to get off the PAINT!
Linen
Also I love a video on how you clean all your sprayers and paint brushes, etc... after your finished with using them.
So glad you went for the French Linen - it looks stunning 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💕 Well done Lauren 💕
This wasn’t my first choice of color, but seeing the end result - Wow!!
Absolutely stunning!! Agreed, this would go in any room. The French linen allows the potential buyer a lot of room to play with accent colors throughout the room. This should fly out of your space at top dollar!! Thanks for all the explanation during your video. It helps other DIYers & buyers under what it takes to save a piece & why you price the finished product as you do. Beautiful end result!!
The color is BEAUTIFUL! You do amazing work.❤
I like the gray. It's light enough to be in fashion, but still simple enough to feature the ornate details and wood grain. I think it's just lovely. And you really are so talented.
i love when it all comes together 🥰
thanks for being here!
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher I love seeing what you do and learning! It occurred to me that using the gray (French linen?) might be really smart because while your potential buyers are limited by the style, the neutral color widens that. Here is hoping it sells fast for you!
You did a great job on the entire set!!!! Love the color! And, Thank you for being so detailed with showing how you did it all!!!!
The paint is beautiful, taking off the keyholes on the tall boy was a good choice. You did a fantastic job, good luck selling this wonderful set💗
I think this set turned out fantastic. I really like the color choice because it is neutral and likely to appeal to wider variety of people versus the other two color choices.
From a selling perspective the linen will sell better than the blue, but I would have loved to have seen the blue.
I love watching your videos…you are truly a good teacher on this stuff. You have inspired me to start my own flipping business. I am not as fast as you are…cause I am a little old and a bit slower but it’s fun stuff! I want to suggest that you also include in your videos a statement regarding your overhead and taxes. What people do NOT understand…you might make $1350….or $1800 in profit…but you also have to pay for the overhead cost of your building/shop. You should also be paying income taxes for every flip…so your profit is not always as much as you state. But stating that in your video tells people it’s not ALL profit. Thank you for sharing with us. I appreciate your honesty and candor on your videos. Great job!!!
Its ABSOLUTELY STUNNING 😊! You are Truly Talented and A VERY HARD WORKER.
I loved duck egg but I think the French Linen turned out so beautiful and was wise for a set. I always love a French Provincial!😍
My algorithm feed was spot on. I truly enjoyed your class of flipping. And wow, you did an amazing job. Thanks
Yes, It was pretty the way it was. But some people are sick of the all wood look. I like it even better now!! Good job!
When I think of French Provençal, I typically envision a lighter finish wood tone, not cherry, mahogany, or walnut. Your flip really looks more in line with what you might expect. Looks beautiful.
French linen. Of course
Absolutely gorgeous!!! You never disappoint. Great choices and cannot wait to see the other colors used in future videos. You are the best!! Thank you for teaching us. ❤️
Lauren you always give it your all. You work so hard on these projects along with Neiman of course. Wow 30 hours. They turned out great and the pieces before your work were visibly worn and scratched up. I appreciate all your helpful tutorial throughout the process.
This is the bedroom set, I had while growing up and I still have it not scratched dinged or anything. You’re version is so much More Beautiful 😍
You’re so talented 🌸 and you make it look effortless! Great job, dear!
Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! LOVE the color! Perfect. ❤
This set is beautiful! I remember you buying it and couldn’t wait for you to flip it, and it’s beautiful!! What a transformation!! And I love the color 👏👏👏
Love the French linen ! Great choice.
Love the color all that's missing is gold gliding wax on the details but it's a French provincial piece can go wrong with French linen great job Lauren
Not sure about gold, but I do think that perhaps antiquing this set would allow the curves and detail carvings to pop. Perhaps in a lighter shade of the hardware color?
This is the best color choice I've seen you do in a long time. Neutral and timeless! I hope you get your $2250.
Why is everything GREY these days? SO DEPRESSING!
@@cliffsnelgrove3560 Gray is depressing and is not on trend anymore. The color she used is a warmer taupe/beige color which is a much more updated version of the gray that has been around for a while!
I’d paint it with fusion cast iron with a kasha redesigned by prima transfer..gold hardware❤..I have my grandmothers French provincial it has markings of its maker..I just can’t bring my self to paint it..that’s why I love watching you make them over I’m just as excited as you!😂
I just bought those same nightstands to flip for myself
sweet! I love them!
It turned out beautifully! The color is neutral and I had wanted the blue, mostly because it would look good in our bedroom. But, in the end it looks great.
I think this set required a color that doesn't get overshadowed by the French Colonial design. I think a little more vibrant color would have made these pieces really pop. Yes, as the reviewer just below me stated, the original pieces were exquisite.
I personally if I was redoing it for myself I would try to keep it bare or perhaps bleach it, but if I were selling it I would go with a warm neutral 😊
loooooots of sanding involved in that 😂
I agree. Natural bleached wood would have been stunning. Stripper is just fine, takes most of the paint. Do it twice then remove with wet rags and light sanding.
Looks so 👍 good I whould maybe have chosen the green coulor paint for the finish but I think it whould look grwat regardless of the coulor just a very pretty set so you go girl see you soon on the next one 😉 😊 😀 😄 ☺️
I cannot decide. My mom and dad had those exact pieces and they passed on and I have them now. I could not do my mom and dad's but what you have done is beautiful.
Thank you. It’s absolutely beautiful, I love the color
This set is absolutely stunning! I love it! Great job. Thanks for sharing.
That’s is stunning! You never disappoint!
I'm loving navy on furniture lately with the natural or stained top and/or drawers!
I have that same French Provential Dresser and after having it since I was a child , i recently painted mine black and added apricot wax into the the grooves and hardware and its gorgeous!
I just found your channel. This is only the 2nd video I’ve watched so far, but I wanted to put my two cents in! Your work is beautiful and I can’t believe the gall of all the negative comments! People… your opinions can be a little less cruel. This is a learning channel and personal opinions are fine. Just be kinder. ❤
They look beautiful. You did a good job.
😊
Glad you chose French linen. Looks marvelous.
Love your channel. I get so much inspiration from all of your good ideas.
Your personality makes it so easy to watch you. This furniture flip turned out amazing! I'm definitely to continue to watch this channel.
I loved the color. Good choice.
Straight up you made the right choice. It’s perfect and timeless. Love it!
I think you picked the right color. It looks great. Prayers and Love ❤️ From Oklahoma
I love them! Love that color too! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I want to make a suggestion I love first of all I love all of your videos. They’re very informative and precise, detailed though one thing I would like to know is what kind of wood you’re working with. It makes it easier for us to choose the stains or paint washes according to wood type, thank you
Once again, nice job! Love that you think outside the box and go with your gut. They are beautiful!😁 Happy Flipping!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Love how the set looks🎉
It looks beautiful!!
Its smart to go with a timeless neutral. The French Linen don’t look too greige. I expect it will sell well.
They look great! Love the color!
Great choice, it's beautiful.👍
I love the look and design and I love the chosen color. Excellent…
As I'm watching your video I'm hoping that you do French linen because I have just one French provincial dresser and I would love to see what French Linen looks like. I originally wanted to paint mine black but now I'm thinking maybe I want to go more neutral so I can change my comforter with the seasons or at least twice a year.
hope you loved the end result!! 😊 thanks for watching!
Gorgeous!
Papers inside, lol. Back in the day, they would place wallpaper sheets, inside of cabinets and drawers of dressers. They didn't paste them in so that they could remove them, without damage. The purpose of the wallpaper was to keep splinters off of clothing, and to keep out bugs. Expensive ones where sold with smells to keep out bugs. However wallpaper was costly at the time. So people would buy leftover, or discount wallpaper books and rip out the pages. That is why they often don't match. Cheaper wallpaper was thiner, and looks like regular paper to us now.
I always like to learn new things, and I hope this helps you to understand for the future, also may help if you ever have to remove, stuck on ones. As our new removers don't work, but wallpaper remover dose.
As always thank you for your hard work and time, and sharing your passion with us.
I used to remove wallpaper for a living before painting walls. The easiest way to remove old wallpaper is to mist it with warm water - let it sit (not dry) & scrape it off with a paint scraper. The water helps moisten the old glue so that it releases.
Those turned out stunning!!! I love the color you chose!!!! ❤
Beautiful!😍
Beautiful work, beautiful color.
Nice work! I love it!
Beautiful refinish ❤
Love the color of this set
BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFUL 😻
Thank you! 😊
It turned out beautiful.❤
This is truly beautiful. I currently have a French provincial dresser and mirror and this gives me inspiration.
I love it so much
Another beauty flip. ❤❤
love it love it love it! French Linen was what I was rooting for from the beginning. I have a dresser that has so many fancy swirls on it. It's its original color right now but I just might have to get me some French Linen and paint it that color as well. Thanks for taking the time to explain what you do to do it right!
Top notch work love and appreciate your instruction!
Beautiful job as usual Lauren!
Beautiful…well done.
You did a beautiful job! I like the color.
My favorite was midnight sky, and I am currently looking for a local set to try my hand at this - not to flip, but to keep. You chose my 2nd favorite, and you did not disappoint! Beautilful job! ❤
They are beautiful.
Absolutely beautifully done, superb Job!!! Keep up the great work learned a lot about furniture painting 🖌️.
Beautiful set
