I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING YOUR VIDS. I ALSO APPRECIATE YOUR LISTING EVERY PRODUCT THAT YOU USE IN EACH OF YOUR VIDEOS. BECAUSE I'M STARTING TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT LEARNING MORE AND MORE. I DON'T YET KNOW ALL THE DIFFERENT TOOLS AND SUPPLIES THAT I MIGHT NEED TO USE IN THIS HOBBY... I WILL EVENTUALLY GET MY OWN POWER TOOLS --- I'VE DONE FURNITURE OVER THE YEARS HERE AND THERE. JUST TRYING TO GET SERIOUS NOW!!THANK YOU! :-)
Oh I’m so glad they are helpful! I started with next to nothing and just built up as I needed an item. I’m of the “do what you can with what you have” mentality. The first piece I ever did to flip I hand sanded, painted white and sealed with wax that my mother in law had given me. It’s nice to have all the tools, but it’s great knowing things can be done without them as well. I wish you the best of luck on your journey, Donna!
Spiders are my kryptonite! I'm just getting into this kind of stuff. I'm doing a large set of drawers and I just want to thank you for all your inspiration!!
Great tip on letting your paint dry completely overnight before doing a wash. I totally did not know that thanks. Love your finish look it’s very classy!
@@elegantupgrades have you been on Instagram and seen some.of my flips.....I do mostly Customs and commissions at least that's the way it's been for over a year now ..but I Wud love to see you over on IG
I know! I’m terrible at IG- I’d like to be better at it. I find that I can only be consistent with one social platform at a time because I feel like I’m already on my phone too much and I want to make sure I’m spending quality time with Lucas. I think that once he starts school I’ll have more time for business.
Thank you, Kimberly! Grungy is just the uneven mottled look combined with the black wax. I think old world is also a good description for it- I also think it’s beautiful- just not smooth and pristine.
@@elegantupgrades .....I get it now. Thanks for the description definition....I just think it's beautiful....I hope I can do furniture like you one day.....you make it look easy. Thank you for doing these videos and sharing your experiences. :)
I really love doing it! Thank you so much for watching. If you ever get to recreating it and have an Instagram or something else I could see them on, I’d love to follow you.
Just found your channel tonight. That’s really beautiful. At each point when you were painting, it looked great, but it just kept getting better and better. Love the end result.
Nicely done as it really fits the style of the dresser. From such a sad sad abandoned dump to a really gorgeous, unique statement beauty. You have a great eye to pull this transformation off.
I’m glad, Barb! I’ve seen your name pop up a few times and I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to watch some videos and leave comments. I really appreciate it!
I totally loving the grunge style these days! This piece is a wonderful mix of grunge meets a bit of glamor. You did an amazing job on it, repairs & all!
Blown away! Brilliant! I love that paintable wallpaper, it seems to be a good disguise for covering up a bad piece of furniture. I like your stripes on just the top drawer. Not too much. I usually don't like them. I think I see people overdoing the stripes and not keeping them in proportion to the piece/drawer/door, etc. They work here in your placement. I see in your profile you were/are a fine arts photographer? So that explains it to me why you have such a good eye. I worked as a graphic designer. I can see things you're doing that a lot of other "furniture artists" don't do. Really a step up!
Thank you, Elaine!!! And I walked in to my house today with the gel stain I’ve been wanting to try for forever! I can’t believe it- thank you so so so much for your kindness. I am truly blown away.
I’m doing a dresser right now that is stripped and ready for treatment. You’ve just inspired me. This is the first video I’ve watched from you, and now you have a new fan 🥰 Love from Australia ♥️🤍💙
Lovely! Gold is not my thing but I love what you did here and you gave me an idea for a way to use anaglypta wallpaper that I have but didn't know how to use. Thank you for that!
Wowza what a complete transformation! I love how the wallpaper added texture to this in such a classy way. Your blending skill is off the charts. Gorgeous job!
You are an artist,,,with your own beautiful style
Dodd, you are always so kind. Thank you so much.
What an exquisite result! I especially like that this piece adds glamour to a room without totally dominating it.
Thank you so much, Kathleen!
Fun !! The saddest peice the more satisfying. !!! BEAUTIFUL. LOVE THE PAPER AND PAINT LIGHT TO DARK.
Thank you, Lydia! And I completely agree, they always look so much better when their start was so sad.

That is divine. What an incredible change from that poor little dresser you started with.
Thank you, Mary! She did indeed come up from where she came.
The wallpaper idea was very clever. I can't wait to give it a try.
I hope you do! Do you have an Instagram or anything the like where you post your finished projects, Richard?
@@elegantupgrades Not yet. I'm still not brave enough.
Well, let me know when you get there. I’ll be following for sure.

Extraordinario, precioso.

Spiders are my kryptonite! I'm just getting into this kind of stuff. I'm doing a large set of drawers and I just want to thank you for all your inspiration!!
Oh I’m so glad you found some inspiration! And I think spiders are most peoples kryptonite😂
Wow, that turned out so nice.you make it looks easy so I'm picturing my small, antique oak dressed with mirror done like this. So impressive!
That sounds awesome! You’ll have to let me know how it turns out if you end up doing it!
I truly don't know how you do this! Yoir work is incredible!
Wow, thank you so much, Kylie!
That piece is breathtaking!
Thank you so much, Linda!
Very pretty! New techniques I have never seen before.
Thank you! So glad to hear it.
Elegant is exactly right, love it!
Thank you so much, Vicky!!!
Quite Old World French Aristocratic 👍
I love that, Sharon! Old World French Aristocratic- I’m going to have to use that in my listing, it’s perfect!
Wow! That’s all I could say as you showed her off! Grunge in the highest sophisticated way!
Thanks, Leslie! Haha, love it- sophisticated grunge!
It’s so beautiful, it’s so beautiful, it’s so beautiful!
I will be studying this video to learn to blend!
Oh! Thank you so much!!! That’s very kind of you to say. And I’m so glad you’ve found use for this video.
Those colour spots were a brilliant addition. The piece is gorgeous as usual!
Thanks, Sarah! They just add a little ‘something’.
Your hands are magical and I’m so happy I stumbled upon your channel. Cant wait to see more of your magical creations 😍🥰
Oh! Thank you, Tonya! That’s so nice 🥰 Happy to have you here.

You absolutely can, Linda!!! It’s such a forgiving finish.
Beautiful and elegant result! 🏆
Thank you, Cintia!
This is just gorgeousness!!!
Thank you, Jen!
Love it, what a wonderful technique. Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you, Edna! I’m glad you liked it!
Great tip on letting your paint dry completely overnight before doing a wash. I totally did not know that thanks. Love your finish look it’s very classy!
It definitely helped my sanity when I started doing that 😅 I’ve ruined many a paint job with doing a wash too soon.
Love the finish...very elegant looking. Great job!😊😊
Thanks, Warriors! You guys are the best😊
I love how it turned out.
Thank you so much, Leesa!
Beautiful, beautiful!
Aw, thank you so much!

ROFL! The "Hee Bee Gee Bees" dance made me laugh out loud! I can totally relate (:
I’m glad you found it amusing 😂 Any time I find critters that’s my reaction Every. Single. Time.
What a gorgeous result!!
Thank you so much, Phyllis!
Green kitchen scrubbies make a great sander for Anaglypta wallpaper edges, but with gentle pressure!
Ooo! I always have those in my shop. Thanks for the tip!
One word: STUNNING!!! 😍🔥
You’re the best!😘
A lot of work! Beautiful!
Thanks, Becky! It was a bit of work 😂
Simply stunning

Thank you, Betty-Lou!

Thank you, Violet! I love the style as well. I’ve yet to take the plunge and put a piece in my home- maybe once I find the right piece.
Lovely
Thanks, Kathryn! And thanks for making the rounds on my videos!
What a stunning piece. I love that shimmery glaze you used.
Thank you, Chanda!

Thank you so much, Sharion!

Beautiful 🤩
Thank you, Hephzibah!
I Love it!
Thank you!!!
I’m doing a dresser right now that is stripped and ready for treatment. You’ve just inspired me.
This is the first video I’ve watched from you, and now you have a new fan 🥰
Love from Australia ♥️🤍💙
Oh I’m so glad to of thrown some inspiration your way! I hope you love your end result. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch & comment🥰
Gorgeous 😍
Thanks, Donna!
I save veneer also. If possible I strip/sand the finish off before removing. It's easier to do while stuck down.
Oh! That’s a great tip- thank you!
You’re so adorable when you get the heebie jeebies 😆 Love that piece!
Ugh! Wasp nests 😝 It still gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about them. 🤣
I love the "grungy fade", it's absolutely beautiful. I hope I can do something like this soon. Loved the colors in it.
Thank you! It’s a very forgiving technique so I like doing it on the more imperfect pieces I get.
Lovely! Gold is not my thing but I love what you did here and you gave me an idea for a way to use anaglypta wallpaper that I have but didn't know how to use. Thank you for that!
Oh I’m so glad you found a use for anaglypta! That’s awesome! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
Absolutely gorgeous! I loved the wallpaper with this.
Thank you, Suzy! I’m so glad you liked it, it’s such great way to amp up a piece.
Wowza what a complete transformation! I love how the wallpaper added texture to this in such a classy way. Your blending skill is off the charts. Gorgeous job!
Thanks, Jenn! I love doing the wallpaper- it covers a multitude of sins.
Fun fact about those dirt dobbers: Their primary diet is black widow spiders! Those little nests can be full of them. In reality, they’re your friend.
They can be my long distance friends 😂 Those ones were long gone, but the old nests still gave me the heebie jeebies.
Lindo…parabéns
ماشاءالله شغل جميل جدا
You've got more talent in your little toenail than I've got in my entire body lol
That really is an amazing piece 👏
Haha! No way! But thank you, that’s very kind.
Whau ! 🤩
Beautiful 🤩!!! Great job explaining everything you did and great work!
Thanks, Kimberly! And thanks for watching the Premier!
