I'm so happy you showed some of the sand blasting. Not only is the process super satisfying to watch but it reminds me I need to invest in one! An invaluable tool in restorations. I'm blown away how this turned out, Leen! Total transformation 👏😍
Thank you so much!! My husband always wanted to have one. It's actually ever since we got ours, he is more into "my" furniture flipping too. I guess it's "boys and their toys", haha. And I'm not complaining. Because it really is such a cool "toy". Every time we use it, I think: we should use it more often. 😆😄
Your husband really loves you. He is always here to help out with the hardest jobs. This piece came out amazing. You have an awesome taste in furniture.
@@malgozata1875 I will be selling chalk paint, transfers, decoupage paper, silicone moulds, stencils, stamps,... Everything! 😁😉 And my own painted furniture. 🥰 Can't wait!
I was a bit terrified at the beginning, when you started to strip the finish off! This is a humangis amout of work with all those details. You did an amazing job ❤
I can't deny it was A LOT of work...!! I think I can't see stripper anymore for 5 years now. Hahaha... But fortunately my hubby came to the rescue with his sand blaster. That really was a big difference in work. Should never have started with the stripper to begin with. But don't tell my husband, I said he was right! Lol!
Stunning..and glad to see a sand blaster at work. Sometimes hubby is right ( but don’t let him know!!!). I also saw all your beautiful pieces in the background and your calm and soothing voice gained a new subscriber to your channel.
OH ! WOW ! WOWZA! It Looks ABSOLUTELY! GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS! The White Wax Looks AMAZING! IT Looks Like a French Provincial piece Now ! ❤❤❤ IT . I Don’t Think I Could Part with that piece . Can’t Wait to See what you do next 👍
Thank you so, so, so much...!! Although such a dark and shiny finish was what everyone liked back in the days (this piece dates back to the early 1900's), today people would walk right passed it. I hope I did it justice by going for a lighter finish, which - I hope - will be more appreciated by the people today. ❤
I loooooove the design of the table too. Apparently it's from the early 1900's. When I saw it on Facebook marketplace I knew I had to have it. But it was quite a drive from where I live. I only found out after I messaged the owner. She said: that's OK, I'll deliver it for free... Wow, I was so surprised. And thankful... These pieces of furniture are the ones that make you get addicted to this "job", aren't they. I'm always at the lookout on Facebook marketplace, and I suffer from FOMO... Lol!
Wow Lean this looks awesome! I really want a sand blaster ! I love so much the finish with a white wax! Thank you so much for hosting this amazing challenge ❤❤
Thank you sooo much!! I hardly ever use white wax, to be honest. I always chose dark or black wax over white. And I don't know why. Because I actually love the soft finish it gives to pieces!
look at those details!!! wow!! so ornate and just stunning!! great tips on the stripper.. i always struggle using it! AHHHH that looks so maddening all that residue!!! hey girl as far as the sand blaster goes.. i call that working smarter not harder lol!! wow look how fast that came off!! ok now i need one! lol! you gave me a chuckle about listening to your hubby.. in our defense they dont listen to us either hahaha! oh it looks sooooo good!!!! so many desicions!! wow wow wow!!! its not even recognizable from its previous life!!! the details pop now!!! fantastic Leen!! very well done!! thank you so much for hosting this challenge with me friend!
Hahahaha, that are the exact words of my husband: you're not lazy, it's just being smart. I guess he's right. As always. Ooops, did I say that out loud...?? Lol!
Thank you!! I definitely is a one of a kind type of piece, isn't it I was so lucky to find it and was ale to restore it. It was a lot of fun to do too. 😊
Thank you!! I also love that the wood grain is peeking through. I think the piece was so "heavy" in the beginning with the shiny and dark finish. Now it looks way more "friendly", if that makes sense. Hahaha...
Wow! Luv it. Did you lose much wood off its surface with the sandblasting? Irregardless, that looks like the only way to go when dealing with that design. Well done Leen.
Thank you!! No, we didn't loose much of the wood. We always try a little part in the back upfront, to see how much is coming off. It depends on the softness of the wood. When necessary we change the type of grain. Sometimes people use a wrong size of grain and too much of the grain is coming out. Sometimes, of course, that can be the look they are going for. But in this case, we definitely didn't want a lot of wood and grain to come off. It worked perfectly! 😊😊
That’s such a beautiful result 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼I really enjoy watching your work! Please tho, when you are doing your voice overs, please increase the volume of your voice, so you’re easily heard over the background music! In this video every time you were speaking, I had to turn the volume up so I could clearly hear what you were saying, and when u stopped speaking I had to turn the volume down again to soften the background music. Thanku
Thank you!! And thank you so much for your feedback on the voice and music too. When I watch it on my computer, and I even tried watching it on the TV, I don't really notice this problem. I will check with other subscribers to see if maybe it's due to my computer. It's quite some work to make these videos, so I would love the result of the music and voice to be good too. 😊😊 It would be a shame if you can't hear what I'm saying. So thanks for sharing this feedback. I appreciate it so much!! 😘❤
Wow Leen this looks amazing! Loved watching the process, I really want a sand blaster now! 😂I literally laughed out loud when you mentioned the part about husbands. So true 😂 great job my friend!
Hahhaha... I think he only said about 87 times: "I told you so". And yeah, he was right. You should definitely should try and get a sand blaster. We always reuse the sand, by the way. That is why we had all the plastic around. We sift all the sand afterwards so that we can remove the bits of paint that have come off and reuse the sand. In this way it is not only budget-friendly to use, but also ecologically responsible.
Thank you so much for participating in this challenge as well. I'm still working my way through all the videos. But boy, I'm surprised to see so much beautiful work. It will be hard to select a winner!! Glad you have fallen in love with this piece as well, by the way... 🥰😃😃 Antique furniture like this, deserve all the love they can get!
I don't think you're lazy at all! I think I might have given up completely, having to do all of that stripping and cleaning by hand. It looks wonderful, good job! ❤
