How to Paint Vintage Furniture *Respectfully* | Modern Dresser Makeover | Damaged Laminate & Veneer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2022
- In today's video I will be teaching you how to paint vintage furniture *respectfully*. This modern dresser makeover is super easy to do, even a beginner could do it. This is a Bassett Furniture dresser, so it is very well made and holds its value over time, due to the name and quality. It's not in terrible shape but it does have damaged laminate & veneer so I'll be showing exactly how I go about repairing that.
I understand that this makeover may not be everyone's cup of tea. If you don't like the color, or don't like that I painted this, you are entitled to that opinion and it's okay, but please be respectful and kind in the comments. You can still share your opinion without being rude or negative.
If you enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up, and if you didn't give it a thumbs down! Thanks for watching!
xoxo,
Holly

holly in the bloopers: 👿🔪🩸🖕🔥💣
i love it 😂💕
Hahahahahahahaha
Thank you for not revealing the after pictures before it’s done. It keeps the element of surprise. You do really nice work.
I absolutely love this. The finish is perfect and going with bronze instead of gold for the hardware was genius! I’m absolutely blown away. I love when people redo furniture and breathe new life into it instead of trashing it and letting it clog up a landfill. People that redo furniture are literally saving the environment. Not to mention, the quality is so much better than what you can get today. It’s generally particle board unless you’re willing to pay thousands of dollars. Sometimes it’s still thousands of dollars for particle board. I love what you’ve done. I also appreciate the bloopers because I drop more “Godd*mmit sh*t f*ck”s when I’m doing projects like this than I care to admit and it’s nice to know that it doesn’t go smooth for the pros all the time either. 🥰
Thank you so much for your kindness 💜

My neck hurts from bobbing up and down as you spoke, Holly! So much truth here. It's great that not everyone likes the same things, how boring would the world be then? But to be mean about it is uncalled for no matter what the topic. Paint being polarizing is sooo strange to me for all the reasons you said. I personally love both painted and restored pieces. For me it's more about appreciating the piece and the artist behind the work. Speaking of, this turned out absolutely beautiful! 😍 Also, your bloopers this time 😂 stupid outdoors!
Thanks for saying all that Jenn. I really appreciate that. I'm glad you like the piece and the bloopers hahahaha
I'm so glad to see something painted a color! Very pretty!
Aww thank you so much, I really appreciate that.
Gorgeous! Well said about personal opinions on furniture! The “you ruined it” comments are so ridiculous. Paint can always be stripped off later in the future. It definitely doesn’t ruin it. Keep doing you girl! ❤️
Thank you! Yes, that is so true! And I agree! Appreciate it, Amber 🤗
Beautiful and I love the green! And, you're right, people need to understand that opinions are like noses; everyone has one.
The satisfaction of ripping off tape and seeing that clean line 😍
I love that part!
Holly, the green color is really lovely. You did a great job.
Thank you so much ❤
You are correct, everybody has their own style. Not everyone loves stained furniture. Besides, years and years ago, milk paint was in style, painted furniture has been around for years. All opinions are valid, we all have our own thoughts and beliefs, mine is not better than anybody else’s. We need to be kind to each other. This piece turned out so fantastic. Love it. Great job. Keep doing what you are doing.
I completely agree with you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts & for being kind. I appreciate it ❤
Beautiful! And you didn't even charge us for that counseling session on how to be kind and use our manners! :) Interesting how people believe their opinion to be so high and that everyone else should endure their inside voices on the outside.
I love what you did here - it's gorgeous!
Thank you very much ❤
Love this!!! Awesome color. Yeah, it's amazing to me how some people feel like they get a say on what we do to our own furniture. They can think and say what they want, and I don't care at all. I absolutely love painted furniture, especially bright colors!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that feedback as well. I love bright colors too ☺
I like the original look of the wood more. But after painting, I see better than the original image. Super project!
Thanks very much! I appreciate your feedback!
You did a great job! I used to refinish furniture and thought it was a "sacrilege" to paint wood...I've come a ways since then and have painted many things and really enjoy the way they look and the cohesiveness they bring to different woods. So glad you removed the "decorative" piece on the drawer...it was so dating to the piece, it actually took me back to the 70's and plastic decorations on so many of my pieces of furniture...great choice! Just so nicely done!
Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate your feedback and kindness ❤
Gorgeous and couldn't agree w/you more on opinions. To each their own! But truthfully, if it's a negative thought/opinion, keep it to ones self!
Appreciate that, Melissa 🤗
This turned out awesome in the color you chose. I could see this piece in a variety of rooms with just the right accents! I love it! I guess I was always a purist like you mentioned, but you have changed my mind for the better. It really just depends on what's best for the piece and what the owner wants it to be. I never knew it was an issue though. Thanks so much for an up-lifting video! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you so much, Janet! I'm glad you like it!
Like I said, there is nothing wrong with being a furniture purist, the issue comes when people hate on painted furniture, or criticize someone for painting furniture. It's okay to only like wood pieces, but not everyone else has to share that same preference :) I'm glad you can appreciate both styles!
It makes me happy to hear that you found the video uplifting. That is always my goal ❤
Looks beautiful, so much better than it was before. You brought life to the piece
Thank you very much---that was my goal with this piece ❤
An absolutely lovely makeover. Great colour choice.
Thank you! 😊
You did a beautiful job on this piece. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate that! Thank you :)
Remember that even when you are painting a piece it is keeping it out of the landfill. Beautiful work
That is always my goal! Thanks for watching!
I just saw a video the other day where they used Stencil and a Clear Glaze to give the Dark wood a "Shadow Effect," and it was GORGEOUS!!!! That would look LOVELY on this piece!!!!
Love the paint colour! You do wonderful work!
I so appreciate that. Thank you ❤
To each their own...very well done ..
looks great, very stylish...shows the possibilities...that's what it's all about.
completely agree! thank you!
Beautifully done, color is gorgeous!
Thank you! I agree!!
well said Holly. I totally agree with you. love what you did with the dresser.
Thank you 🤗
Great job .beautiful colour....youre young but dont worry what people think.they dont know you .why worry?you love what you do , thats it.
Thank you so much 🙏
Absolutely 💯 FLAWLESS!!! Great job...love your work!!!
Thank you so much, Fenda!
Beautiful work Holly🥰👍❣️and Yes I absolutely love Sarah ..she's amazing and a wonderful friend ....and Well Said❣️❣️
Thank you Debra ❤
@@ChicAntiquebyHolly welcome 🥰👍
Hi Holly! You did such a great job- it turned out beautiful! Lovely shade of green- reminds me of your name!
Aww thank you, Nancy 🤗🤗
Beautiful work, congrats!!!!! I love 😍 the colour, thanks for your creativity
Thank you so much ☺
I love this color. This piece is absolutely beautiful. I enjoy your videos so much. I agree with and am glad you shared your philosophy about painting furniture. Bravo!
It’s so pretty Holly! Really like that green color! Great job!
Thank you, Kim ❤
I actually like the color! I was a little worried at first, lol! I thought you'd end up with like 4 coats! I prefer more of a sage green, but this went beyond my expectations!
I love both restored and painted pieces. I have a combination in my house, so I have an appreciation of both. My dining set is antique and stained. My pie safe is stained. But my hutch that came with the dining table had been abused horribly and we ended up painting it and the legs on the dining table to blend all the pieces. I really like it! Everyone who comes to our home ❤️ it! Even furniture purists!
I agree with you, my furniture is my business not anyone else's! Also if your doing work for clients, their taste is what matters, not your own. We all have to make a living! I make natural skin care for the masses. I have been jerked by others out there for some additives I use in my formulas, so I totally get what your saying. I repeat, everyone has to make a living and these are personal choices!
those pieces sound lovely! thanks for watching!
i LOVE this dark green color, the perfect choice! and that tape pull? so satisfying! love your videos!! ❤
what a fun color!! and the gold pulls pop against it!
Thank you so much! It really does!!!
Stunning. That green is gorgeous.
thank you for your kindness
Excellent work, Chic. I’m always impressed by how much you can liven up each piece. The green and gold complement each other nicely! I also appreciate you sharing your thoughts regarding the purists and the haters. The internet gives everyone a voice to share their opinion with the world for better or for worse. It’s sad how many people use it to spread negativity hoping to bring others down with them. Misery sure loves company.
Fortunately, most of your comments are positive and are well deserved. Keep up the fine work 👍🤌👏
Thanks, Ricky! Couldn't agree with you more. Thank you for your support ☺
Beautiful color. It looks really nice 😍😍
Thank you ☺
So pretty! That color is gorgeous. It kind of has an Asian flair now.
Thank you!
It looks amazing 🤩
Thank you!
Beautiful!!! Love the color. Great job!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful piece, and I love what you did with it. The color is perfect 😍 You did a lovely job. ✨🌺✨
Thank you so much my friend ❤
Lovely!
Thanks, Kay!
wasn't quite sold on the color when I first saw it in the jar but it dried so pretty! As are as painted vs "restored" I think it depends upon the piece and each person's individual tastes...I like both
Thanks so much! Totally respect that!
love the colour
Thank you!
I just love your voice. You need to do a channel reading the Bible or fairy tales.
That is so sweet of you to say. Thank you ❤
Love, love it,
Thank you so much ❤
Oh I love the way this turned out!
thank you so much!
Beautiful
Thank you
I appreciate you sharing your experience and expertise. That's why I watch, not for what colors you choose or don't choose. Thanks for sharing! Also, I like the crows adding their commentary : )) Its only further adds to the charm of your videos. I have two questions: 1. Why use Bondo vs DAP (or vice versa) for the screw holes? 2. Is it just the lightness of your application, or do you also need to wipe any excess wax from drawer insides to prevent staining clothes? Thanks much for considering my questions (and forgiving my ignorance : ).
Fantastic job Holly!
thank you!
What a beautiful color!!
Thank you!
You are the BEST...love it
You are too kind---thank you ❤
I'll admit I'm a semi-purist. I love the look of natural wood. But if painting a piece of older furniture keeps it out of a landfill, then I'm all for it.
Appreciate your feedback! I love that! Thanks for sharing ☺
I have painted my share of vintage wood furniture and also things like wood trim or paneling in homes and my god, people treat you like you killed a baby or something! It's just wood, lots of times the wood is scratched/chipped, water/dirt stained or so dark it sucks all the light up, and painting really is the best path forward and as you say, a respectful way to deal with it. Also, so many of my painted pieces were dumped at thrift stores where I rescued them from, and all those wood purists out there aren't doing that. So I saved a battered piece from the landfill and I'm a bad person? Painted furniture can be really lovely and a great affordable way to furnish your home.
I completely agree. Saving pieces of furniture from the landfill is our goal, and there's no wrong way to do it. Thank you for watching.
Love the color…💚💚💚
Thank you ☺
Nice job, I might have painted the tips of the legs to match hardware to make it look like brass capped legs.
Thank you! Cool idea!
Great job! Do love the color
Thank you! ☺
@Donald Richard hi, it’s cloudy and cool. I got home from the gym by 7:30 so I decided to water my plants and enjoy the company of this little bird that visited me whenever I’m outside. Have a bless day.
You do very pretty work
That is so kind of you to say---Thank you ❤
Pretty great job. When they start buying the furniture then maybe they can have an option on how you redo it
thank you so much! completely agree with you ;)
This piece is stunning! I love love love the color!!!! 😍😍😍
I’ve never used mineral paint. It sounds scary. Is it hard to work with?
thank you so much! it does have a learning curve, but it's not scary at all!
Nice video 👌👌👍🤩🤩🤩💞🇲🇦
I am one of those people that thinks vintage furnitures should never be painted. With that being said this is stunning
Appreciate that!
Hi Holly, where are you? I hope you're doing well. We miss your videos
Thank you, Carlos. That means a lot. I'll be back soon.
Where did you get your orange scented furniture wax?
This one I used is from Dixie Belle Paint Company, but I also like one from Shackteau Interiors as well!
I don't like green, but you did a fabulous job
That's okay, Kathleen! Thank you! ❤
I wasn't trying to be mean if I hurt your feelings I am so sorry
@@kathleenhernandez2292 oh not at all! Don’t worry! ❤️
Haha someone probably said put wax on the drawer glides and they literally put wax on the drawer glides 🤣
Honestly I would not be surprised if you were right about that 😂
Sure hope you comeback soon!
thank you for sticking around.
@@ChicAntiquebyHolly Are you okay?
@@dre7637 yes i am okay. thank you ❤️
Where are you located?
Portland, Oregon, USA.
Why’d you quit UA-cam? I love your channel!
thank you so much for your kindness and support. i haven't quit, but i don't know when i will be back.
@@ChicAntiquebyHolly I hope it’s soon 😊
@@ChicAntiquebyHollycome back, Holly! ❤
If this was an important piece of furniture, I'd agree with the folks who disparage painted furniture. By important, I mean not mass produced. Come on, if you had not painted this to modernise it, this piece of furniture might have been tossed into the landfill. Good on you.
Think we should get back to the " mind your own business" generation. With that mind set there was alot less stress and fighting.
TMI has gone way too far. People
You ruined it comments make me laugh, for goodness sake it had a laminated top. Some people just love to be the boss of other people.
so true!!!
You should talk more about the project and less on opnions. I would of enjoyed it more.
It’s been four months! Have you quit UA-cam?
i haven't quit. i am on a break. thank you for caring!
