- Welcome to my channel! In this exciting DIY project, I transform an old tired dresser into a stunning apothecary cabinet that adds charm and functionality to any space.
Join us me as I take you through the step-by-step process of turning this neglected piece of furniture into a unique storage solution inspired by vintage apothecary cabinets. I'll show you my techniques such as sanding, distressing, varnishing, adding hardware, and creating faux drawer fronts to achieve an authentic look.

So you go from talking and music to going 'The New Yorkshire Workshop' and giving us no talking, no music, and total ASMR. Loved it. You did a great job on this piece and I love the design and two tone effect. Very fetching. And good to see QC catching up on his reading.
It turned out fantastic. I love what you did to hide stains. That was brilliant. You’re a brave man to give your beautiful baby a real book. Lol
Brave or stupid? Haha ;) Thank you for your kind words, I am so pleased you like it!
Oh I love this. The way you hid the imperfections was ingenious and it looks amazing!
Beautiful make over.
What I love: the two-tone stain, the fake shadow line in the door front and the cleaning process. What I REALLY love: painting the dovetails. Looks great. The only recommendation I’d make is for the top. The rounded edge reeks of the 1980s. Since a classic overhanging top wouldn’t be possible without replacing the top, I think a 45*!chamfer would give a more historical feel. As is, though, fantastic!
What I love: That you took the time to watch my video and then comment. What I REALLY love: Your constructive feedback and delivery. Thank you :)
@@flipitnation glad to! I’m a rank amateur wood worker. Plenty of ideas, but I have no practical knowledge! 🤗thus, videos like yours are awesome for the practical wisdom!
A credit to NZ flipping!!
Cheers, very kind!
Wow. What a transformation! Love the two tone. Your sweet baby is beautiful!
Thank you and thank you, I'll pass on the compliment ;)
Love how you stain the dovetail joints. Makes a big difference. Good work. I enjoy your videos.
Wow! My first thought after seeing the final, full frontal reveal was… this would be a great way to store clothing or linens in an office or other area without it being obvious that’s inside. Clever!
OMG! What an awesome transformation! Absolutely unbelievable! The apothecary style is always a win!
Thank you very much, yes it is something I have always wanted to try! Pleased it turned out well :)
Fantastic transformation. Would enjoy narration
Thank you! I am getting people saying they like narration and some saying just the noise of the tools. I do prefer narration myself, this was just a trial. You can expect narration next time :)
Good job-I like the 2 different stains.
(and, Very cute baby!)
Thank you! 😊 He steals the show ;)
Wow people have said what I was going to say. So love it 😂
Thank you so much, appreciate it!
Staining the dovetail joints❤
Always a nice touch :)
I love it, you gave it character.
Thank you very much :)
@@flipitnation yw
You give it a unique style ❤
Thanks so much :)
🤨 The apothecary style fooled me into thinking that he had managed to split up the drawers - and I was looking forward to see how he did it 😐
Perhaps a little out of my skill level but I'll endeavour to give that a go at some point in the future!
Great job! And very cool technique with random black spots on top of wood filler. I think I’ll still it 😂
Beautiful. Good to go for a long time yet.
Thank you, I hope so!
The tear of the sand paper was so satisfying 😌
Stunning transformation!
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much, cheers!
Beautiful work as always!!
Thank you, appreciate that!
I really learnt a lot from this video. Thanks. The key to success was that the drawer fronts were solid so able to be rebated to look like two. Wouldn’t work with so many modern pieces where the drawer fronts are veneered. I recently picked up for £10 a Scandi 1950s small coffee table that belong to an OAP and which had a random piece of white laminate glued over the real maple top underneath. I did a pretty good job at removing and renovating but could have done better by using a brush and stain to disguise inherent damage.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, I am pleased you learned a few things, that is always rewarding for me. Wow, blows my mind that someone would put laminate over maple but I am pleased to you managed to bring it back, great effort!
Fantastic re-work!! Turned out beautiful!! Congratulations
It really is beautiful!!
Thank you very much 🙏
