TRASHED Painted ANTIQUE Furniture gets a GORGEOUS RESTORATION...

- I found this ANTIQUE DRESSER with a detached mirror at a thrift store several months ago. I paid $95.00 for this abandoned, painted, DIY Furniture Makeover. When I began removing the layers of paint, I discovered original white oak with beautiful tiger oak patterns. Once the necessary repairs were made, and the piece was completely sanded using my Surfprep sanders and sanding blocks, I decided this piece needed a traditional finish. I chose a dark oil-based stain, finished with several layers of clear Shellac. This was a rewarding project and I hope to find more pieces like this in the future. Thank you for all the support on the channel. Barry

You are so right that anyone can do these things! I am a 67 year old woman that loves making furniture new again. Sometimes restoring, sometimes refurbishing. Totally self taught and don't have all the fancy tools but have so much fun watching things come back to life to be useful again.
I’m just getting started. I have collected about 5 projects. Think it’s time to start. Last is an antique rocking chair made of flame cut white oak? I’m waiting to past to get sone experience. My great great grandpa built it we think!
I’m 65! And disabled. Legs have arthritis. So it’s something I can sit to do.
Love to watch your work!!! This piece I love, but I didn't like the silver hardware. Do u think the hardware is original..looks like kitchen cabinet kind. But u did an amazing job!❤
I would think that the hardware is original since he showed the inset for the lock and no sign of previously drilled and filled hardware handle holes. Everything is simple traditional and a smaller scale. Also furniture from the era around Art Deco often had a modern chrome nickel finish
Darker tiger oak finish makes the lighter chrome nickel hardware sparkle
Dark stain was 100% the right choice for this wood, and the age/style of this piece! Nicely done!!!
Thank you very much!
It always dumbfounds me to see such beautiful pieces painted. You did an incredible job on this one. That wood grain is stunning.
There's a good chance that paint over job gave it that much time to not end up in the dump.
Not just painted, but painted badly in horribly unsuitable flat paint.
Beautiful restoration. I am 72 and it gives me great pleasure to see a young man appreciate the hidden beauty in aged and used furniture. Wood restored is usually stunning. Thankyou
Your labor of love on this one is mind-boggling & the result is amazing!! It takes incredible patience to pick paint out of all of that quarter-sawn oak grain with dental tools. I believe artists like you with your love of wood, & painstaking restorations are creating a renaissance of appreciation for traditional wood finishes. I LOVE your devotion to your craft. Thank you!❤❤
You say it all perfectly here… what a beautiful restoration.♥️
Beautiful, so glad you went with the traditional finish, it looked so sad painted. I hope you add your signature on pieces you finish as you are now part of the history of every piece you restore. I think that's what sets you apart in these videos because we can hear the passion you have for each furniture restoration you undertake.
Thank you for not "improving" it. I just like antiques to stay antique as an acknowledgement of our history.
I appreciate this
The dark stain was 100% the right choice it looks so beautiful with the wood grain shining out. I think a light finish would have left it lacking somehow.
Stunning as always Barry
Thank you my friend
@@MadCityModern The ONLY stain available there is "candle light". Good thing for that.
Great results for this project! I’m glad you kept the mirror as it seems integral to the overall design. Some furniture artists are removing and not re-using the original mirrors. Thanks for sharing this!
gorgeous result! i just moved in to a new apartment and my grandparents gave me some old wooden furniture they had sitting in their basement, and i’m inspired to try refinishing some of the pieces myself! great work :)
Every time I see a lovely piece of furniture with paint on it my brain screams, "What were you thinking?" So glad that you restore the furniture so lovingly.
Thank you Cathy
Finally I have come across a restoration video showing someone removing the paint correctly, this is how it should be done.
So beautiful! I'm so glad you resstored it to its former glory! Tiger oak is too beautiful to paint. ❤
My grandmother has a desk made of the same wood, ive loved ot for years cause of the contrasting wood grains. Im so glad i was able to find a name for the wood it will be much easier to look for furniture made from it.❤ you did an amazing job restoring the wood!
Of course they don't make furniture like they used to and you're doing such a beautiful job restoring those pieces. You're doing a brilliant job.
I was shouting from my chair..omg..you made this piece come alive!
Wow! Barry, you blew it out the park again! Absolutely stunning.
What a beautiful piece. It reminds me of furniture in my grandmother's house. Such a tribute to the original maker.
I’m so happy it was you who found this instead of someone who would have covered it in chalk paint. It’s stunningly beautiful! You can see that grain pattern from across the room. Well done! ❤️🤗🐝
Oh thank you!
@@MadCityModern You’re welcome❤️🤗🐝
It is heartbreaking to see how people can destroy a beautiful piece of furniture thinking that they've enhanced its beauty there's nothing like Oak, which you're not making any more old these days LOL the richness and beautiful of this w o o d it's beyond words. Thank you for restoring. thank you for restoring the origina look l on this beautiful piece of furniture.❤❤❤
Another beautiful restoration sir. Such an intersection mix of styles in this buffet. Queen Anne, waterfall, and a tiny bit of art deco. Hopefully, it will find a new home that will love it as it is and not punish the piece again with paint.
❤ punishment by paint 💯💯💯💯
This antique dresser is beautiful! I love the style of the piece and that wood is so amazing. You did a beautiful job on the dresser. I have to say that I enjoy watching your channel because you explain things. That is very helpful to me. Thank you.
She came out beautifully. Isn’t she regal. I truly love the hardware!
My heart actually skipped a beat at how beautiful it turned out
Thank you so much
Anyone would be proud to have this piece displayed in their home! The beauty you brought out is amazing! ❤❤
Thank you
Amasing restoration, Barry! From the way the piece is made, it looks to be a sideboard/buffet, as opposed to a dresser, (flatware in the top drawer, table linens in the bottom two drawers and serving pieces in the side spaces, behind the doors). Since the top isn't flat all the way across the top, it could've even been sold as a bar, with the side spaces used to store bottles, decanters, etc., hence the locks on the doors and not on the drawers. I can imagine one of the old blue glass mirrors in the centre, with crystal decanters setting on it. Whatever it is, you did a phenomenal job restoring its pride!!!
Why would anyone paint something so beautiful. Thank you for bringing it back to original beauty 😊😊😊
This is a beautiful piece of furniture! I am so glad you rescued it from all that paint. I could definitely see someone using this in a bedroom as a dresser but I think that even with the mirror it would be a lovely piece used for a buffet in a dining room. Great work!
That is BEAUTIFUL. Job well done, both to you and the original craftsmen.
Wowzers!! What a great job you did on this piece. The mirror is the cherry on top.
Thank you so much
Yours is a wonderful restoration of a beautiful piece. Although I'm not a fan of the hardware, I appreciate your retaining it as part of the piece's history. Thank you for going the distance with this lovely restoration.
feel the same.
I think it is a good idea to have people pay the small fee to get their questions answered. You time has value.
Yes, Barry I was thinking the grain would hold on to that white paint harder than glue. I was so happy to see that the person that painted it blue the FIRST time didn't remove the original finish saving it from destruction. We lucked out on this one! Once again saving this beauty for someone to cherish for another 100 years.
Good to see you in the comments
Simply AMAZING Barry!! The Tiger Oak veining came to life right before our eyes!! You're a TRUE craftman & I'm honored to be here witnessing your journey. Hoping all is well my friend, Dirty Jersey out!!
Always love your comments Mike
Barry, now you're talking my language. They dresser turned out incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you.With much love and many blessings.
From the Great Lake State of Michigan 🐢
Most amazing is he only did his first piece about a year ago. He is a quick learner. The veneer repair is pretty impressive.
I am always so astonished that anyone would choose to cover such beautiful wood with paint. I am so glad these gorgeous pieces of furniture get a new life through your work.
I've never seen Tiger Oak before and wow! So happy you brought the true wood back to life, a beautiful piece. Amazing Job!🌼🌼
I’ve seen it but never knew the name. I think it looks a little like burled wood.
Beautiful restoration, the mirror really finishes the piece perfectly.
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for another wonderful video.
Thank you!
I love, love, love that you’re re-flipping what other flippers flipped!!! Now, that’s authentic RESTORE!
How refreshing to see someone take ugly paint OFF to reveal the natural beauty! Thank you! Too many people today want to paint over natural woodgrain...horrible!😢
Thank you so much
I love it. It's very like an old buffet I picked up on fb marketplace. You did a fabulous job Barry. As always.
Awesome. Thank you so much
What a beautiful job!
Can't believe this masterpiece was hiding behind all that paint. Thank you for your vision and for sharing it with us. 😊
Thank you very much!
I’m 75 and did lots of refinishing when younger. It’s been a long time since I redid a piece of furniture but watching your videos has inspired me and soon as my creative cottage is completed in 2 weeks I’ll start working on 3 pieces of furniture I already owned and 1 my son gave me. Thanks for inspiring 👍🙏🏻💕
This job was not a restoration. It was a resurrection. I am a lover of natural wood and again can't fathom why someone thought slathering this beautiful piece in thick, dull paint was an improvement. On behalf of the dresser, thank you.
I'm so glad you gave tis beautiful piece of furniture a traditional finish. I know it's not always popular. Young people today like modern looking furniture, but some pieces are too beautiful to change the original look. Your attention to the hardware is exceptional. I'm happy you kept the original hardware too. Thanks for saving a beautiful piece of history. I absolutely love it.
Thank you so much!
Looks stunning!!! Love it
I fully agree! Never paint oak!
Another wonderful piece saved from a poor paint job. Excellent work Barry! I've been interested in refinishing furniture for years now, hoping to finally get started when we move into our first home soon.
I've saved a few of the pieces from my parents that I grew up using, and plan to restore and refinish them for my own kids. Your work continues to encourage and inspire me, thank you for the kindness and respect you show your viewers and the furniture you work on!
Не понимаю людей которые красят краской натуральное дерево. Хочешь белую крашеную мебель - купи крашеную мебель из стружки. Спасибо что вернули эту красоту.
For an antique, it has a modern vibe. I think it is the hardware that gives it a look that goes so well with today’s furniture. The outcome is beautiful.
I've always loved tiger oak. You did an excellent job revitalizing this piece. ❤
Oh my life! This is exquisite. You’ve done a wonderful job. Also, I gotta say that watching and listening to you is so incredibly relaxing, I’ve had a ghastly day and this has cheered me up. Thank you. ❤
Wow, thank you!
Barry, I’m a writer and your channel has offered me insight into a few ideas for building new characters of future storylines. I prefer the original finishes that you pulled off on this piece and the wood grain turned out very unusual and nice. Thank you!
Barry, you are such a sweet and caring man. I appreciate how much you care about old beautifully made furniture. Nothing compares to it. Thank you, oh and thank you. The roll top desk was so amazing!
I appreciate this so much
Oh Barry, absolutely stunningly gorgeous! As always very impressive! The wood is astronomically beautiful! Awesome job! 😊❤
Dark woods and traditional items are making a big comeback, so you did the right thing! It’s gorgeous.
This piece was in much better condition than some you have purchased. It's time for an easier restoration! BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you
Your restorations never get old, Barry. Your soothing voice and hat tips to the history of furniture distinguish your work from the typical DIY UA-cam furniture flips. It's a good day when I get to watch a new Barry project. Cheers from Oklahoma!!!
This made my day
Totally agree!!
Not to mention the filming and his editing.
Wow. Wow. Wow. What a gorgeous piece. I was definitely getting art deco vibes from the shape, and the refinished piece did not disappoint. I could definitely see this as a buffet in a dining room; it's so pretty and you gave it new life.
Thank you so much!
The dark stain really brought it back to life!
I would call that a buffet. No matter what you call it, it is beautiful. Started out looking like a chest freezer, what an amazing transformation.
Love that!
What gorgeous wood! Who would cover it up? Great work❤
The love and patience you put in each piece is so reflective in the final result. Work of art. Thanks so much for what you do.
Thank you so much 😀
It's so nice to see someone actually take the time and effort to restore one of these beauties. Thank you for saving it. It was well worth the $95 and all that time to have such a gorgeous piece.
I will never understand why people take a beautiful piece like this and paint it! This is a lovely restoration!
My thoughts exactly
Well. Barry, every time I watch you put something back together I am astounded. The cabriole legs are very interesting in this piece along with the almost art deco hardware. The mirror absolutely makes this just POW! Thank you for sharing your finds and restorations with us. Kudos to you.
Wow. Thank you
This one deserves an award..the Barry Award! So beautiful and someone is going to treasure this for many years! Thankyou for saving it!
Thank you so much
Thank the lord for the mute facility!
Yes, the Lord is good
Wow! What a beauty under that sad, white paint!! Thank you for giving this beautiful piece another century of life.
Glad you enjoyed it
So glad you went for restoration on this piece. It looks wonderful!
Btw, the Clematis, and Snowball plants in your garden are absolutely lovely.
You did a great job on restoring this beautiful piece of furniture!
Barry... I watched this video again and realized you kept the original hardware. I absolutely love it.
I can’t fathom how someone would put paint on a piece with as much beauty and character as this one…
Barry, you did it again. I'm drooling over what you have done with this piece. Such attention to detail. Stunning my friend ❤.
Thank you! Cheers!
This piece was so sad in it's painted stated but once again Barry you made this piece absolutely gorgeous. Love that you did the oil based stain and shellac. Stunning work!
Thank you so much
You did this old beauty justice. You even gave her posies ❤
Thank you
It makes me glad that you're trying to bring this vintage beautiful back to life. I hate when people who say they're refurbishing these vintage beauties just sand and chalk paint them making them look like IKEA furniture. From the couch and old refrigerator in the background I can see you love vintage and know they were built to last.
Beautiful! Love the hardware and hidden drawers!!😊
Treats!!! A new video!!!
Thank you
Yes yes yes!!! Perfect stain. Thank the lord for people like you!!!
My Italian grandfather, who had already done a lot of restoration work in Rome by age 18 when he emigrated to the United States, built all of the furniture in the home he made with my grandmother. He was a true artist. Given the contempt shown to Italian immigrants by the established white society, notwithstanding their genocide of and theft from Native Americans, very much ongoing at that time, my grandfather was demoted to working in textile mills where he developed the brown lung disease that eventually killed him.
My Italian father, also an extremely talented artist who could literally do anything, restored old houses furniture, cars and trucks to perfection.
I miss him terribly.
I loved watching you restore this nearly vandalized piece, right down to removing and repairing fragments of veneer, and the brilliance of the hardware. Beautiful work.
You have an enviable workspace and collection of tools.
Как вообще у кого-то поднялась рука такую красоту краской заляпать?🙈
Шикарное восстановление 😍
Wow! Barry, this piece looks absolutely awesome. Beautiful work. 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful! I so much prefer to see an old piece restored/resurrected to its original beauty than to watch a piece like this suffocated under a coat of paint. Thank you.
It's always great to see paint removed from furniture.
Beautifully done! I have an antique tiger oak pull-top desk, more than 100 years old, that is almost exactly the same color as you've stained this piece. Also, your videos are such a joy to watch, and I think what I most enjoy is how you include us the viewers as if we were right there with you, and you put so much thought and care into your content, thank you!
Absolutely stunning restoration. When I saw that tiger oak, I was hoping you were going to stain the piece and you did! You did a beautiful job and the piece shines.
Thank you very much!
I don't care what you touch, it always turns out beautiful. I can't believe though that you had to pay 90$ for that trasch piece. Thanks for your amazing video!
Thank you! 😊
I’m glad you used the dark stain. Very beautiful
Thank you Kristin
Nossa não sei nem o que dizer ," Só que ficou incrível " vc é talentoso e presta muita atenção aos pequenos detalhes, é o que faz do seu trabalho extremamente diferenciado parabéns amei ❤obrigado por compartilhar
I really appreciate this
Amazing restauration Barry ! You did a great job bringing that beauty back to life 😍 Tiger Oak it's a beautiful veneer 🤩
So glad you appreciate tiger oak like I do! Another handsome piece.
Thank you
I gasped when the wood grain was first revealed on this piece. This finished project is absolutely gorgeous. I hope you get a good return on your investment.
I just found your channel & I love how you’ve mixed furniture restoration with calming music & ASMR. You are so meticulous in your work & it was a total pleasure watching the beautiful job you did on this gorgeous piece of furniture. My mother’s favorite wood was tiger oak & our dining room table, a buffet & 2 of her dressers were all made from it while I was growing up. Thank you! Just subscribed! ❤
Welcome to the channel Linda!
Your restoration of this piece came out beautiful ❤you are a true artist
Thank you so much!
I hope you keep it for yourself, Barry. It's worth thousands now. There were so many super talented woodcrafters/carpenters/furniture builders in the old days. There was also plenty of beautiful hardwoods in the old days. That piece tells the tale of the old ways. Just think, you have taken part in recreating a finely crafted piece of antique furniture.
Love this comment
Why would anyone want to paint such a beautiful dresser white?? Your restoration was so amazing. What a gem!❤
Am I FIRST?!?!? Yeah Buddy!!!
I think you are this time 🤣
The piece may be european in origin, art deco, especially the hardware. From the design I would place it as a sideboard versus a vanity.
Great info. I wanted to suggest art deco based on the pulls but couldn't confirm. Thank you for the help
Indeed this style is quite similar to what was created in Europe during the roaring twenties. Who knows, this piece may have been a traveler in its past!
Been trying to think of some words of inspiration but all I can think to say is, "that's wonderful restoration. Thank you for giving it new life. God bless you."
Thank you so much
The hardware is absolutely amazing! I am so thankful to those who voted to keep the original hardware....between that and the finish... ohmy
WOW! I'm so happy you stained it with a traditional finish! Looks SO MUCH BETTER!
