Bro, this woman did not "just found it and tried it out" she's done wood work before I can guarantee you, with her sander and all coating materials and this and thar right.... she's been working with wood for a while.

Once she cleaned the original up, the wood underneath looked really lovely. I was like oh no she’s going to paint that beautiful wood and then I couldn’t watch anymore.

That’s nice and all, but you ruined a perfectly good hard wood piece. Don’t paint good wood. Correct the wood, then stain it. Pieces like this are getting harder and harder to find. You just took a perfectly good piece of furniture, and turned it into something that looks nice, but won’t age well, and will be significantly harder to restore in the future because of all the paint and glue you put onto it.

Just because it’s wood doesn’t mean it’s aesthetically pleasing.

Let’s be real, neutrals is going to be out so quick. Even the comments are already going “yikes” when anyone talks about their “perfect neutral” and it’s like, beige, white or grey. When did we decide that literal beige was the trendy way to go?
I wouldnt call that a natural wood, and honestly i normally HATE when people "update" furniture like this but i thought it looked really nice. that reddish tone of wood that they originally were is very dated and out of style. When i saw the popsicle sticks i paused and waited for things to go very very wrong but honestly, theyre just wood! and she made it look like it belonged.
Well I agree with you, it looks hideous, it looks way worse than it was before. However as somebody who's assembled furniture, I can promise you that's not "natural wood" it's a laminate and particle board. You can tell when she sended it down, it has no wood grain
