    What a reveal! That dresser is crazy handsome! You took a big yawn piece of furniture and turned it into surprise party exciting. The deep rich green, the warmed honey tone of the base, combined with the copper jewelry transformed that bland piece into mid-century marvelous! Well done!

  • @CK_Loves_Tea
    @CK_Loves_Tea 3 роки тому +13

    I’m floored by the effect that wax has on the oak! It makes the oak match the pulls, it perfectly sets off the green… Stunning.

    I really loved the style of filming on this video. I also loved learning how to grain fill! What a great trick. The transformation was great and it is definitely a to a higher standard than you felt at the end. I hope you sell it for a nice profit.

  • @dragns
    @dragns 3 роки тому +8

    I've loved the look of that base ever since I saw Andrea do it on her channel. I want to try it, but that would involve buying a miter saw, kreg jig, clamps, etc. lol

  • @delaneyfayce
    @delaneyfayce 3 роки тому +1

  • @soffiegirl1027
    @soffiegirl1027 3 роки тому +1

    You don’t need to do pilot holes, but definitely clamp the pieces together (highly recommend the right angle ones to keep it square!). For added strength you can also add wood glue between the two pieces. 💙

    Big Mama's Butta? Exactly what l need to nourish and restore the wood beams in my home. Ty for all the tips using Dixie Bell's products and brushes - that wax brush is mine! As a former filmmaker, l really appreciated the innovative camera angles and editing. As a woman, loved you at the helm of the power tools. Well done you! 💖

    Thank you Christina for sharing in your DIY Wife Challenge with this piece. The Collard Greens DIxie Belle Colour is superb and so pleased I have discovered this as I have the perfect piece to paint with it for my very first Chalk Paint project. It turned out beautifully with the hardware and red oak legs. Full marks and a tiger stamp for you for creating this lovely makeover! Also thanks to you and Dixie Belle Paints for offering another competition for us furniture and chalk paint lovers! :::SmileS::: Mary-Kate :-)

    WOW! That green is amazing! Paired with the wood legs, it make that dresser very snazzy looking. I love making over wood furniture, but it wasn't until you ladies started your lessons on better ways to do things that I really got excited. Thanks to you and all your fellow ladies for the excellent tutorials.

  • @MelDidItHerself
    @MelDidItHerself 3 роки тому

    I’ve never seen someone use Big Mamas Butta as a topcoat/wax alternative, super interesting! It gave it a lovely satin glow. Love the pulls that you chose, it ties the base in perfectly and I think the whole thing looks sleek and modern. Yay for stepping out of comfort zones!

  • @lynnes8047
    @lynnes8047 3 роки тому

  • @ashleyosborne6239
    @ashleyosborne6239 2 роки тому

    I’ve watched this video a few times now (it pops up in my feed every so often) catch something new to try each time. The big take away this time (besides this stunning transformation) is the filling the wood grain AND using Dixie Mud to do it! I’ve seen a few people do this and can never remember how, so I’m saving this video. I have a solid oak hutch to paint and the big reason I haven’t done it yet is the water based paint (using all Dixie Belle) “raising the grain”. So thank you for this tip/technique (and the many others in this video).💜
