I like the bleach makeover- I didn’t know this could be done- very cool- your furniture piece turned out great! 👍👍
Hi! This tutorial could've come at a better time for me! I like your idea I've kicked the idea around for sometime to complete a vintage wooden hostess cart / with wheels or take wheels off and whitewash, cherry stain, black stain or paint black with a metallic edging possibly. Thank you!!! ♥️🙏👍
Great bleached look. It looks great. Those handles though still really date it. Black modern handles would have been better
I totally agree
The handles totally defeated the purpose.the bleaching went great!, the handles are too dated bringing the whole flip back.
AGREED and black handles would indeed have looked good.
I kinda like them...
A, brushed bronze over the hardware would look 👍 & maybe adding legs to the base..Overall, ❤this transformation
Hi from Australia. One thing that would help the drawer sanding to be less wobbly, is to put a couple of bricks inside each drawer.
I love the hardware. It's updated but keeping some of its original character.
The handles look amazing against the bleached wood! I personally don't like pine, but this piece turned out Gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing
Wow. I didn't think I'd like it, but it just came together to look so beautiful. Nice job.
OMG! It's gorgeous. I'm at trying this on my next project. There's so much of that old pine in the thrift stores here and this method is a great way to transform them. Thank you.
That turned out beautiful. The handles look nice. I would probably paint them black for my home. Great job❤
Love this makeunder😁. Sooo much prettier. The handles look awesome.
I love it! You did an awesome job. I love that it's real pine wood! That's what I love about shopping at antique and thrift stores. My husband and I bought a nice computer desk at our local Goodwill store. It's not wood, but the finish looks great, but the top is pretty messed up, so hubby's making a butcher block to replace it. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Thanks so much! 😊
Love the transformation
That's seriously beautiful. Trends or not, this to me looks fresh and timeless. It could end up in a beachy setting, farmhouse or even transitional. Have no idea about the price. Nothing to go by---what amount you're asking, etc.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
I had the same problem with a pine dresser I was working on. I ended up painting and using the same handles. Wish i had know. About the bleaching. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Sorry to hear that! Yea, it was a real work around for sure! I was not expecting that issue
It looks so much better!
You did a great job. It looks fantastic. Thanks for the idea. I've never heard of this process.
I like it. The handles no because well I remember those as a kid! 🤣
Beautiful job !
LOVE the new look....and the "old" hardware looks great!!! No idea on selling price😊
It's gorgeous
Lovely job!!! Don’t agree with other comments about changing the handles, so glad you kept them. Hope you get a great price after all your hard work 😊👍
Is truly a handsome piece well done❤
Nice job with the dresser but those handles really date it!😊
Gorgeous!! I love the hardware 💕
Thank you! 😊
Great results!❤ You are bound to get a good price for it!
Trending beautiful job absolutely love it
Love it!!!!
What a sweetheart you are …thank you for all of your help
LOVELY!!
I have to admit... as much as I hated those over-designed French Revival handles with the original red/orange finish they look much more appropriate all cleaned up with the weathered white wood!
Amazing what miracles a little love and attention (and sweat equity) can accomplish.
I think the piece looks great with the bleached and paint wash look-paint wash was perfect idea. I’m wondering how the hardware would look if spray painted black?? ~Cathy
my thoughts exactly! I was thinking maybe a flat black so it won’t take away from the dresser itself
It turned out pretty nice in my opinion. It gives me farmhouse decor vibes.
Great job, love that you changed the door pulls, nice touch 🫶🏻
very pretty!
Looks awesome ❤
Great video! My taste...and this is me mind you, I would have painted this one, and changed the handles. Yes it's solid wood, but it doesn't have a great woodgrain to it. You did your best with what you had, and removing that bottom piece was genius!
Thanks 👍 appreciate your input!
@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture I love your channel by the way. You make me want to redo all the furniture in my house! ❤️
Of course, it turned out beautiful ❣️. I wasn’t sure how you could transform it, but you did not disappoint . Lovely❣️ - Jill 😘
Thanks so much 😊 have a great week ahead Jill
Loved this weeks video. Thanks for all the hard work you do for your followers.
You are so welcome!
Very cool!
I love this one!🎉❤😮
Beautiful
Just beautiful ✌🏼
Thank you! Cheers!
Love. It.
Mrs. I don't see nothing wrong on your dresser. But I bet your gonna really make it super special!❤
Thank you for doing this video! I have been wanting to learn how to get that white washed look from the “yellowed” look. This really looks great! Love the transformation
I love it. You amaze me.
Thank you :)
There's a product called rub and buff I've seen someone else use on many metal objects. It comes in different tones for the handles.
I love it Kara! Wow the bleach made such a difference. And the hardware looks so much better after cleaning them. Was wondering if your sales have slowed down…mine sure has. I know a lot of people are struggling financially. Hope it sells fast! 🥰🥰
Very nice!
I’d use oxcillic acid to bleach wood. That’s what the antique restorers use to get rid of stains on an antique.
My daughter liked the ghost handles - reminded her of a panda. lol!
Big thumbs up!!
Love it
The cleaned up handles look great on the bleached piece. It's a bit of old and new. One day all the "modern" finishes will be outdated.
Yours is uniquely different!
It turned out nice but I would have put modern hardware on the dresser since the finish is more modern. I believe a gray tone wash would be more popular but that's just my opinion! I liked the bleach product and scented wax product ideas that you used!
19:09 I really like the wood and the tone you achieved. Somebody will buy it to put in just the right place. Love your work.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
The piece was beautiful but I think when you put the old handles on it, it dated the piece. Black modern handles or modern gold handles would make this piece look beautiful. I’ve never tried the bleaching but I might just have to try it. Thank you for sharing with us.
I’ve always wondered how to bleach furniture. Thank you for the great video and tutorial! Also I would love to try a sewing class on skillshare.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
Adding legs would make it even more spectacular.
The belt sander can be tricky to keep flat and will gouge soft wood like pine easily. So be careful.
The dresser turned out great. I am going to try this on a pine dresser that had me stumped. Hope it comes out as good as yours!
I loved the look the next morning! I wonder if a second coat would have taken out the yellow??
very nice
Love the bleach technique, and I think you do great work. I do not love the hardware with it--the tone is now cool, and the handles have a warm tone. i think changing the hardware will help it sell. I also think it needs legs, and I might have conditioned the wood first to tone down the knots on the piece. So, I still think you are fabulous! Great work!
I’m new to furniture restoration, but I’ve been successful at “ghost busting” and have never had that problem. Especially with solid wood. I simply sand until the handle marks disappear lol!! Maybe I’ve just been lucky…but it also helps that I LOVE sanding 😂 Paint and new handles would have been my choice but you nailed the look you chose! 👍🏻
I dont normally post anything ever lol but ive been doing this 10+ years and yes your right keeo sanding & sanding & sanding they will go away patience is key😊
Just accidentally learned a new technique for cleaning up old brass. SAND IT! Yup, use a fine grade sandpaper or even a black block buffer for nails. ( I used to be a manicurist😂) All of that tarnish just falls to the floor w the sanding grit.
Super cute! I love it! Can you use Gator Hide over transfers?
Gorgeous upcycle on the new mellow driftwood-y tones! Please, exchange the brass handles for rustic black iron handles/pulls (Hobby Lobby?) & paint the hinges to match.
I estimate about $300 with new hardware, but $275, if not.😊
Agree on changing the handles either black or go modern something else
Beautiful transformation! My concern.....what stops all those knots from bleeding through over time?
Nice
Yikes i was so scared you were gonna sand your skin off you leg! I love the end result. Good job!
Great bleach job!! the handles aren't doing it for me. They look dated and to me, the color clashes. Maybe spray paint. Black? Or a surprising color - sea foam, distreased bronze, distressed gray? I think legs would add a lot to this piece and would bring you a higher resale price.
I love it. I thought you might paint the hardware black or a charcoal...I was surprised at the end very very sharp. Can't wait to see what it sells for.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
Change the handles
Lovely piece I probably would have painted it and changed out the handles. How many hours does it take you to restore one of these pieces?
Really love the color of the wood and ended up liking the handles too! I've used a belt sander once but it leaves uneven grooves all over that is hard to sand smooth. Do you experience this at all?
The “ugly” dresser has been erased! A lot of work and now you have more knowledge for those dressers that have the “uglies”. Definitely a great transition from the orange pine!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
Loce learning about using the bleach. I will say my market demands updated hardware. Very curious to know if this piece sells with that batwing hardware. Also, did you repaint the tallboy with the half circles black?
Good eye ;) we were wondering who would catch that!
@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture that green was so pretty! I guess it didn’t sell?
It's beautiful, you nailed it girlfriend!.. What did you list it for? ❤❤❤
I have bunches of the bat wing drawer pulls. I'm going to start to toss them
Not what I expected... but looks great! 🎉
I get that the handles would seem outdated but they work!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!
Love the bleach finish - Don't like the handles - They undo all your hard work with their dated look - Invest in modern handles
Just finished watching ur video!! Just curious on how many hours it took u from start to finish (not counting the 24 hr overnight)……it came out lovely!!!❤❤❤ take care
Legs and trim black hardware would make it very modern. But does look good.
I think I would have painted the handles Matt black. I think the black would’ve gone well colour wise with the light colour wood.
As ever truly an inspiration. I cant help with pricing as here in Australia there in no way we could pull in the money you do overseas. Off to skill share as well.
thank you Cliff!
Love it! But I would have put black hardware on it.
Looks great but like a lot of other commenters - maybe the handles are keeping it from selling. Since You no longer have "ghost handles". I would go ahead and switch them out to get it sold
The piece turned out beautifully but I'm not sure I would have left the inside as it was. Maybe added some wallpaper. Not sure on that. Would also change out the hardware to be less intrusive, more simple. Don't know your total cost involved so wouldn't know what to price it. But I'm guessing around $400.00 as is.
❤
Yes. California Ranch... not farm. Wow I can see it in an Alpine cabin with high roof and tree views from every window. When my imagination is sparked, you're on to something. PS I love that you have sort of specialized in updating clunky, chunky furniture. It really is perfect for a quick turn around... and usually, no harm done to our beloved mid-century stuff. 🤩🥰🤩
I can't with the handles. But I love everything else.
I liked the process, but thought the shade you used for the wash was a little too yellow. I think it would have been prettier with a more taupe colored wash, which would have made the handles pop a little more... also think it might have benefitted by adding feet of some sort... still, ended up waaay nicer than it started!!!
#replay. Kara, i love this piece.🤩 I've done the bleached look with a 2 part product and oxalic acid. I will keep this in mind for a smaller piece. Did you repaint the vintage piece in the background? I thought the first color was super fun. Now it looks very stately and regal. Hope it sells soon for you! 🙏
I was wondering if anyone would catch that! lol yes! It bled again and I got tired of fixing it! So it became black! I hope it sells soon too! Thanks for always being here! Have a great day!
@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture For the hardware haters - it may be someone's style. You'll know pretty quickly, I think 🤷♀️
Looks really good!
I have a question. Pine is a soft wood. Does the wood get harder and more durable with age?
no it won't, its always a soft wood
Love love it. I have a peice I really want a drift wood look. I'D SAY $600.
I love it but what about that gorgeous glass hutch that's in your garage? Is it next?❤
Coming soon!!
I think the hardware is why it has not sold yet..............................other than that, looks great.......my guess $425 - $575....but I never shop for furniture on-line....
It’s beautifully done! You have a great list of items shared but you didn’t share the stool you are on. I am hunk that would save my back! Please share where you got it.
mine is old but here is the newer version. thanks for watching amzn.to/4bwMfRn
Not a fan of the hardware, but the piece looks great bleached and washed.
I recently used a polyurethane over a light color that ended up turning yellow. Is there a certain one you would recommend that you know for sure won't turn yellow after time? Thanks in advance! ❤
Polycryllic doesn't turn yellow
Make sure it is water based and not oil. Oil will turn quickly. I do prefer the top coat I used in this video.
