I am a weekend warrior flipper, so I have a day job and a few inexpensive tools. I feel like each project I do is a lesson in problem solving. I often want to stop working on a project because I either don't have the knowledge or the tools I need to fix the issue, but I persevere. I admire your resilience, artistry, and know-how. Thanks for sharing your mishaps and successes. :)
Thank you so much. Glad to hear you tackle projects of your own and push through them as well. Take care
GREAT SAVE!!
Thank you!
Good outcome
Thank you
Gorgeous
Thank you
It turned out great Samuel, the vinyl on the back and hexagonal mesh in the doors were great additions to the black and gold colour scheme and made it look very elegant.
Thank you so much Stuart! I appreciate the compliment
I see hutches everywhere, in thrift stores, etc., for almost free. This is a good way to repurpose them. You did an outstanding job!
Absolutely. China hutches are out of style and this is a good option. Thank you
Love the honeycomb.
Me too! Thank you 😊
I love the plastic inserts in the doors- so cool- it looks great!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
It turned out absolutely beautiful.
Thank you so much
Looks great!
Keeping the gold minimal was definitely the right call. And putting legs on.
Very classy.
You did alot of thinking outside of the box, and it paid off.
Congratulations!
Thanks so much! I’m glad I’m getting such positive feedback from people
Wow...what a transformation. It looks great!
Thanks so much! 😊
What an awesome transformation! I like!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you do
WOW!! You have a winner! Blessings from Texas! 🤠🤠
Thank you! You too!
It turned out so beautiful! And I loved the honeycomb panels you put inside the glass. Wonderful work!
Thanks so much! 😊 I’m glad you like the final result
This is really beautiful!! The work was worth it! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great improvement. It looks incredible.
Thank you! Cheers!
Samuel: don’t forget the industry has stick on wall covering now and there are a lot of designs to select from. It’s an easy product to work with. The cabinet is certainly a conversation piece. In the right room it would be stunning. A real eye catcher. Great job! Carol from California
Thank you so much Carol. I appreciate the advice and compliment
I’ve learned that every time a mistake happens something great comes out of it in the end. Great job!
Absolutely agree with you on that one
Worth all your effort! It looks fantastic.
Thank you. I’m glad you think so
Nice job! I'm so glad you painted the sides instead of leaving the black contact paper 😊
Me too! I didn’t feel rite about it
Turned out great as always - well done.
Thank you 🙏
It turned out fabulous.
Thank you 😊
This looks great. It was definitely worth all the work.
Thank you. I think so too
Great job! You really dressed it up and made it one of a kind! Love it 😍
Thanks so much! 😊
What knockout result! 🙌🏻
Thank you 🙏
This piece turned out awesome. You have really great ideas.
Thank you so much!
От нестантартного решения ,аж дух перехватило.Работа восхитительно выполнена.Шкаф, просто ваууу.Слов нет,одни эмоции.Красотища!!!!!¡
Thank you so much. I’m glad you like it
I really like this. Great design.
Glad you like it! Thank you
Very sleek looking cabinet! Well done and I got inspired
Thank you so much. I’m glad you like it
Love what you did and I like the black and gold legs.
Thank you so much. I’m glad you like it
As always you have done an amazing job! Painting it black and leaving the wire black was the best choice I’m my opinion.
Thank you so much. I’m glad I made the rite choice
Well done as usual Sam! Good eye for the design. Cheers!
Many thanks!
You did amazing! Love it!
Thank you so much!!
I really like the way this piece turned out. Feels very Anthopologie to me, but this is One of a kind". I think it looks wonderful! Good job. Congratulations. I've done a few projects myself and I agree with you that the hardest part is to push through when problems start to happen, which is almost always. Thank you for being totally honest and sharing your mishaps as well, we learn a lot from those.
Thank you very much! Definitely is a good feeling to push through and project and see the end result
now THATS very cool! great job again Brutha Samuel
Thank you so much brother
Great video! thank you for showing the whole process, mistakes and all. the piece looked great when you'd finished, i love the black against the wood. you are amazing!! ❤️
You’re so welcome. Sometimes projects don’t go to plan but that makes it all the more rewarding
That is freaking awesome!!!!
Thank you
Awesome job with the black
Hermosa y muy original!!!
Thank you so much
WOW...❤I, love it!!!!
So glad! Thank you
I love it !!! So glad the peel and stick didn't work. I agree that paint was the better option for long lasting durability. If I lived close to you, that'd be in my house. Stunning 🇨🇦
I totally agree! Thank you so much for the compliment
Really like what you did! Nice job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful - quite 1930s 😍
Thank you
Excellent job!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Well done. You did it well.😀😀
Thank you so much 😊
The chicken wire left black, in my opinion, was the correct way to go! Beautiful work!
Thank you son much. I agree. I felt the gold would have been to busy
It looks fabulous Samuel. Black and gold is such a classic. It really did give you headaches. Well done for sticking it out and the results are certainly worth it. Great job.
I love black and gold. Thank you so much for the compliment
Try wrapping a 2x4x2' piece of wood with a towel and use it to smooth out the contact paper as you pull the backing away. REALLY helps when you only got your own two hands. LOL Nice project and it looks great!
That’s a really cool idea. I’ll have to try that next time.
So cool love it!
Thanks!!
Samuel, wow! This piece came out absolutely beautiful! This cabinet will definitely be the focal point in any room. Good job!👍 You have a lot of patience’s.
Thanks so much! I appreciate the compliment
You completed updated it, it looks great!
Yes! Thank you!
Wow. I just discovered your channel and am binging…thank you for the creativity and instruction! This piece came out exceptionally well. True art!!
Thank you so much. I appreciate the compliments and support.
Ha! Same. Watched about 6 in 2 days! He has amazing talent, patience and a very good eye for design.
I have a glass and wood like hutch like this, and I was trying to figure out how to make it useful to me, you gave me some great ideas.
Glad I could help! Thank you 🙏
Wohooo 🎉, vilken underbar fin skönhet det kom fram 🤗. Bra jobbat.
Thank you so much
It definitely makes a better display cabinet than an upper shelf unit on a hutch. I like the plastic "chicken wire" effect, and, the contact paper design. All in all it was a good save/improv by necessity effort on your part.
Thank you so much. A lot of this project was on the fly and I’m glad it challenged me to think on the spot
Stunning ❤❤
Thank you! 😊
It is amazing!
Thank you so much
Wow. It turned out awesome. I love the black and gold with kind of the mid century design. I felt your frustration right along with you with the over spray, and then taking off the paper you applied. But what a transformation!! Inspiring !!
It was a pain but so worth it. Thank you so much
This almost every project for me haha! What I think is going to happen, morphs into something else, but I’m always much happier with it in the end . I think this might be my favorite piece to date!❤ I’ve never seen that back panel contact paper before…I love that pattern! Cheers :-)
Thank you so much. I’m glad I’m not the only one. I wanted to toss it out at one point. I found the contact paper on Amazon like 6 months ago.
Well, it created a totally different look!
I’m glad I stuck it out. Thank you
It turned out amazing for sure. I buy and sell these 2 piece hutches constantly. Splitting them up is the way to go. I’m definitely taking inspiration from you on the honeycomb panels. They made that piece go from really good to absolutely phenomenal. Another excellent job Samuel
Thank you. I think that lam the best way to sell them and make double the money.
very lovely
Thank you 😊
Samuel, amazing piece! Love how it came out. Only thing I will say is a top put on would have been a nice thing. I know many folks keep scrap pieces from other projects. It’s honestly amazing. Love that black honeycomb and the warmth of the interior wood! Sweet piece anyone would be glad to own Thanks for sharing the whole journey
Thank you so much. I was thinking of doing that but I was so far into this piece I was exhausted by it at that point. But great idea
Looks better for sure. Hopefully you make the money you want.
Thank you so much
Nice job, Samuel! For me, jury's out on the contact paper, but I love the honeycomb webbing so much!
Thank you brother. Just thought I’d try something different
Great save on this project. I prefer the minimal amount of gold that you used.
Thank you so much. I’m glad I didn’t paint them
Looks good
Thank you 😊
Absolutely, Genius! Brilliant!
Thank you. I’m glad you think so
OMG!! 13:25 mark tell me you don't see the stone face top left corner winking at us?!?!?!
And... you put the wallpaper on upside down dummy 😂😂🤦🏻♂️!!! The stuff you guys come up wit is insane. Hope you get TOP dollar Sam!! Hoping all is well Bud,Dirty Jersey out!!!
P.S. It's 4th. of July, we just had insane rain storms, & power is out!! 'Merica!!!
Haha I did that just for you to notice brother. Happy late 4th. Where’s all the storms at? Sunny in Cali
Great project tutorial. I didn't see where you got the legs from in your links above. I'm saving this for when I can get to do one!!!!!
They are on Amazon. I’m worming on putting together my Amazon store but if you search up black and hold mid century legs, you should find them. 8 inch length I believe
@@CedarPineDesigns I'm in no rush. I'll check back to see if it's in your Amazon store first. do you think this is a good project for a novice?
@@aholaway3048 absolutely! It’s fun and just like any tiger update. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I’m on instagram as well
@@CedarPineDesigns Ya girl is over 60 and stopped with Twitter (very inactive) as far a social media goes. I need to find it on Facebook or UA-cam but bless you for reaching the masses. 😆😆
@@aholaway3048 not a problem
WOW! ❤
Thank you 🙏
Nice
Thanks
A heat gun on contact paper will really adhere the paper and you can squeegee out the air bubbles or use an exacto knife to pop the air bubbles and then heat it and work the air out of the tiny knife hole.
That’s such a great tip. Thank you so much
For future reference, Simple Green sprayed on, soak a minute then wipe off.
Thank you for the tip. Unfortunately it wouldn’t have worked because the paint I use is enamel acrylic and not easily removable
Wow 👍😎🐕🦺🐈⬛!!!!
Thank you
wow!!!!!!
Thank you
It sounds like pair of end tables I'm working on now a days. I like top to be stained. And that stain is giving me night mare. 😀
Thank you for watching. Just stick it out and it tends to work out
This cabinet is boss! He would have been gaudy if you made the doors gold. Hope it sells for big dollars!
Thank you so much. Glad I made the rite choice
It turned out great, but I think the pattern on the contact paper is distracting behind the honeycomb pattern on the glass doors.
Thank n you so much for your honesty
Do you think using some acetone on the overspray would have helped remove the paint? It had me thinking!
It turned out beautifully ❤
Thank you so much. Acetone would have taken the paint and finish off. Ask me how I know haha
@@CedarPineDesigns 😆 That answered that question!
Hey. Just out of curiosity - isn't your paint water based? I had a similar problem but was able to remove the paint with just water (and a lot of patience 😅). So I was wondering if you're using a different type of paint 🤔
Thank you for the question. I’m actually using a cabinet paint made of enamel acrylic so it wouldn’t have cane off so easy
@@CedarPineDesigns Oh, I get it now. But anyway in the end it turned out very nice - I really like it. I hope you can get a nice price for it 😉
@@redesignedbynina thank you so much. Have a great day
@@CedarPineDesigns 😊 you too!
Quick questions, did you replace the light or fill the hole on top and also was the honeycomb installed inside the cabinet or on the front outside the glass? It's really a sharp looking piece!!
Great questions. The honeycomb mesh is on the outside and the glass is on the inside, and the hole is still there and I did not replace the light. I left the hole just in case they new owner wants to add another light.
I wonder how much the honeycomb inserts will interfere with viewing the contents. They look cool by themselves, but they feel a little counterproductive for the purpose of a display cabinet.
Thank you so much. I was trying to go for this piece to be the star of the room, but it may block out the contents a bit
Despite the challenges my friend it came out Stunning...where did you find that plastic chicken wire thing...super cool 💯🥰 happy 4th to you and your Family ❣️
Thank you so much. I found it on Amazon
@@CedarPineDesigns what is it called so I know what to search for on Amazon..thank you 😊
@@debraneria4242 this is the link amzn.to/3rgArRH
@@CedarPineDesigns thank you my friend
@@debraneria4242 no problem
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love the black bee hive. Link .?
Thank you. I’ll put one up. It’s from Amazon
You have the Midas touch
Why thank you Rosa
❤👍
its nice but I would have preferred clear glass in the doors. After all it is a display cabinet for things to be displayed and you would'nt be able to see anythings with the chicken wire.
Thank you for the insight
the only problem I see is in the future because the mesh is in front of the glass it will be hard to clean. but even so it looks really beautiful....I'm glad you didn't paint the inserts gold.
Thank you for the great insight. The front glass is almost impossible to get dirty with normal use.
Where did you get the legs?
