    What I love about your DIY videos the most is how you & your husband share in the joy of creating beautiful successful projects. How wonderfully blessed you two are to have that within your marriage. Perfect example of what being equally yoked & on one accord together looks like. Keep the makeover videos coming because I really do enjoy them all! peace & blessings unto you

    This project blew me away. Painting the inside of the drawers gave it such a rich and unique look. By far one of your best DIY's and one of my favorites. Hugs

    Christine, I bought a dark dresser 10 years ago at the Goodwill. Always wanted to make it white. I found your video during my lunch hour today, and now I am totally inspired. Have to put this project on my to-do list. Thanks so much for all your great videos and I am glad I found your channel.

    Christine you have done it again! I think the color choices were spot on. I also really liked the white paint detail on the hardware.

  • @cherries1952
    @cherries1952 10 років тому

    I adore these type of videos. I like how your channel has been a mix of life. Many times I skip through makeup demonstrations on other channels. Especially when everyone is using the same new palette. I love Tide Pools on the inside of the drawer & the outside. I'd love a room painted in that shade. Unfortunately I live in an apartment & have to keep the same boring off white walls. Accessories in that shade would be a wonderful find. Your always so inspiring. I always look forward to your videos. I especially love your day in the life. Fascinating seeing where other people live. Thank you for all your hard work. Keep these videos coming.

  • @hollyxo.
    @hollyxo. 9 років тому +6

    You did such a great job on both the make over of the dresser and the making of the video. Your video is concise, to the point, and yet seems to cover all the most important aspects one would need to know to do it themselves. Great job on both counts!!

  • @AfroTee
    @AfroTee 10 років тому +4

    It's so nice to see you and Michael work together! The idea to put a pop of color inside - genius. I really like that! Makes for a nice touch of "happy" every time you open a drawer.

    • @christinekobzeff
      @christinekobzeff  10 років тому

      Thanks beautiful! Michael is so cute, he makes working on these projects even more fun! Oh and you totally nailed it about that pop of fresh minty aqua, it's like instant "happy" loves it! This color combination has inspired me to build out a jewelry organizer drawer that matches. Woohoo can't wait to do that DIY. :D xoxo

    • @AfroTee
      @AfroTee 10 років тому

      Awww I love that. Blessings to you guys. I can't wait to see how you organize the dresser. And a jewelry organizer too? I'll be watching! :-)

    OMG Christine you are genius. You should have your own business helping people to transform they homes on a budget. I would have you do it for me if lived in the UK.
    I admire your patience, I would just get bored in the middle of the project.

    • @christinekobzeff
      @christinekobzeff  10 років тому +3

      Haha, thanks Nisha! That would be awesome if we lived closer. I'd be coming over with my paint brush ok whattaya got for today's project haha. ;D

    • @StayFabulouswithNisha
      @StayFabulouswithNisha 10 років тому

      pinksofoxy Yes , you don't know how much I would like that, my first project is my bedroom. I consider myself quite a creative person but maybe not in the home decorating area , I can never make a decision on anything and takes me ages to even choose a colour scheme , so yes you would be a great help. Maybe I should move to Maui lol, at list the weather there is much better than here in the UK.
      Have a nice day
      Nisha xoxo

      I painted my bed and dresser exactly alike. The one thing I will say is, the sealant that I used make the finish turned yellow. How sad I was. I found out that it's better to use water base polyurethane. Oil base turned the color yellow. I repainted the furniture, and use water base. What a joy.

  • @valkyriesardo278
    @valkyriesardo278 9 років тому +2

    I love the choice of using a mist of white spray paint over the silver on the door pulls. It gives a frosted blur that softens the harsh bright of the metallic. It "pearlizes" the hardware which is more companionable with the luminosity of milky white on the wood.

  • @tracytimberlake
    @tracytimberlake 10 років тому +12

  • @marywest2896
    @marywest2896 8 років тому +1

    turned out so beautiful, if your drawers seem to stick since you've painted them you can run a candle on the drawer edges and the inner rails of the dresser to help them slide better. I use canning wax. it comes in a block and is clear. it really helps your furniture not stick if you live in a humid area like I do. i may have to apply it once every 1 or 2.

    Another great job. I was surprised that painting the existing hardware made it look so different. It is beautiful. I am kind of crazy for color, so I might have used the Tide Pools on the outside, or maybe just for some of the trim around the top, the drawers, and somewhere on the mirror. Again you did a wonderful job and the piece is beautiful.
