    I like it dude. At first I was sceptical about what color and methods. Then you brought back the original picture and that thing wasnt gunna see life ever again, and you did your touch to it and brought it inside your house and it's got a new life. I respect that. Nice work it does look better then excepted. Your style isnt mine but I still think its cool

  • @ns102676

    Nice work, looks really cool. My only small critique is that I generally don't like the paint over wood look, I think letting the natural wood grains show through looks better, so I'd prefer some type of stain rather than a paint. With paint you can't see the natural beauty of the wood, so why even have wood. For me paint makes sense only when the underlying substrate has no natural beauty.

    • @ICatheraTashaI
      @ICatheraTashaI 2 роки тому +1

      I agree. If it's fake wood then I'd paint it, or if it's so beat up that you have to put a lot of filler on it.

    Astonishing. So many beautiful pieces of furniture like this one (that grain on top is just gorgeous) go to the landfill. Whenever I see something on the curb I stop and load it into the truck, and usually people throw away old pieces of furniture that have good bones and just need some TLC to absolutely shine. (Even if it's a piece of crap I check for interesting hardware.)

      @@karenjarrett529 I wish you lived closer (what's the chance of that?) because some furniture is just too heavy for me to load and a friend would be great. I loaded a CHERRY CORNER CABINET in the truck a few years ago, took me like a half hour but no way would I let that go! No way. Sometimes taking drawers out helps (if there are any). Just do it yourself like I do.

      Errmmm...no. It doesn't. Looks more like it's filled with dust and old + cheap. He didn't played with colours & lights of the wood, that usually give that "expensive look". He turned it opposite - into dull looking, "dusty" and suitable more for horror movies than for a bright salon or anywhere else.
