    It's great that you let her pick her colors that way it really feels like her room. The piece looks great and definitely not an ugly duckling anymore.

    I had this exact unpainted dresser as a kid. My mom and i painted it cream colored then " antiqued" it with gold wood grain, along with an innocent nightstand and desk. The desk we have since restored. 1979 was a bad year to be furniture. But, 8 year old me was thrilled with my "matching suite" and ruffled bedspread and curtains!

You turn on a big spot light and brought all these great talented individuals together under one umbrella, it seems, where all of us, the viewers can enjoy, take part, be surprised, entertained, comment and learn through these great restorationist “how to”. I am totally hooked as I know I’m just a little pebble among thousands upon thousands, if not millions who are enjoying this too.

    That turned out so cute!!! I found with stick on wallpaper it also helps to scuff sand any semi gloss or gloss paint , the slicker paint doesn’t hold it as well.
    My cousin’s daughter s bedroom had been painted by her mom, when she became a teen she of course wanted her own thing done. Her mom didn’t want to deal with it, so my cousin, her dad, asked her what did she want to do? , she said dad can I turn my big wall into a giant yearbook? He said he thought abt for a bit, and said u know it is just a wall and paint and we can paint over it when she’s older! She had the coolest looking wall with enlarged photos, she made paper frames for and tons of friends signed beside their pics and memories she put up!!! And her mom ended up liking it! Anyway I love letting kids have some freedom with creativeness!!! Bravo!!!

    My parents let me choose the color in my bedroom when they redid it. I was 7. I choose "Elephant pink", which was the most obnoxious bright pink imaginable. I loved it! I still remember that and I'm now in my 50's. It is wonderful when parents allow their children to make design decisions for their spaces. Too many channels and design shows show bedrooms in quiet nuetral colors, which may work for some kids, I suppose, but I've never met those children.

    When I got my own room at 10, my dad painted my room pink & the same purple you did on the dresser. One wall & the ceiling were purple & the rest in pink. He painted the sliding closet doors one in each color and the dresser in white with every other drawer pink & purple with white wooden knobs.
    It was such a cool room! My mom finished off the details including a bedspread in the same crushed velvet fabric in purple!
    So... YES, to me you succeeded in turning this dresser is a very VERY special, "Swan"! 🦢

    I have a very old oak dresser, it came to me painted cream. A few years later I painted it black, then later decided to strip it to bare wood. Well, there were two additional coats of paint, and in the end I was unable to strip it all the way down. However it is very cool looking. I get many compliments on it. Once I realized I wasn’t going to be successful stripping it I used very fine sand paper, it is satiny smooth, and unique.

    Your daughter selected such a fresh, fun color for her furniture. She definitely will have a beautiful room. The backstory triggered precious memories. In the mid 1950s unfinished pine furniture was available in many stores. We purchased a bookcase headboard, chest-of-drawers and small desk for my bedroom. Mother and I painted, stripped and repainted everything after every move. Due to Daddy's job we moved frequently. Mother encouraged me to select the color, she always told me my opinions had value. (I selected whites, creams and one time soft turquoise. I did not want to grow weary of intense colors.) Mother wasn't interested in a 'showcase' bedroom, her focus was insuring her daughter realized her input had value and mattered. I honestly believe that tradition triggered my fondness for flipping furniture. Thank you for a fun video and for triggering such precious memories.
