I found this PAINTED Dresser and RESTORED IT...
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лют 2023
- I purchased this painted dresser from Facebook Marketplace for $30. It sat in my shop for months. I just didn't know what I wanted to do with it, other than remove the paint. I considered several different stain colors. I also considered building a new base. In the end, I decided to just remove the paint and apply the most natural finish. The woodgrain patterns are not the most beautiful I have ever seen, but still worthy of showcasing in my opinion. I do not create videos to impress others. I do this because I enjoy it. Sometimes I am able to earn money from ad revenue; other times just from flipping furniture. Every piece has challenges, and I hope you can learn from some of my mistakes before you take on your own projects. Thank you for all your support. Barry

I decided not to narrate this video. It wasn't any easier that way. There just wasn't a story for this piece, and sometimes I enjoy just the sounds of the shop. Thank you for all your support. Barry
Great video as always! Do love all the shop sounds it's a nice change. I miss your voice though!

I always love the stories you tell and the details you share, but this peaceful video was exactly what I needed in the middle of a busy day. Thank you for sharing!
It come to a point when I see a grell painted dresser or some furniture, the chance it's MCM is huge 😜
Just do whatever you feel for regarding no narrating or narrate. Guess it's good to change it up a bit, even though you have a pleasant voice . 😉
All the best from Arctic Norway 👋👋
PS. love that you kept it "original"... think the wood in old(er) dressers are so beautiful, and because it's often slower grown wood the "paintings" are gorgeous, even older pine furniture looks amazing natural.
(sorry for butchering sentences and words, my excuse is English is not my native tongue. 🤪)
I don’t mind the “no talking”. In fact, I appreciate te productive sounds.
Your work is thoughtful, deliberate and beautiful. Thank you.
Whoever painted that was seriously committed to yellow. To paint every side of each drawer including the underside is a full on commitment.
i am amazed that the last person took the time to paint *everything* yellow - not just the visible parts, but the drawer backs and bottoms as well? thats some dedication lol
I love that you left it natural. It would look really good in someone's cabin in the woods.
very rare to see a dresser completely made of Fir. thanks for saving this little gem
Can almost hear that poor dresser give a sigh of relief to be rid of all that yellow. Have never seen so much paint on drawers. Very soothing without a narration as peeling the paint off said it for you this time. Nice job as always.
That dresser is sighing in relief at being able to breathe again thank you Barry it is beautiful again
Barry, you said you don't make videos to impress people.
TOO LATE. I'M MORE THAN IMPRESSED. I'M INSPIRED!
Thank you for turning that ugly duckling into the swan it was born to be.
With great sincerity from,
The Great Lake State of Michigan 🐢
I really appriciate how you bring back lovely old things, particularlly when they have been painted, the tranformaions make my day.
I love watching the wood grain appear as you paint on the lacquer or wood stain. This rather utilitarian piece is much more elegant with the wood grain.
Why on earth anyone would have chosen that hideous color is beyond me! I loved the quietness of the video and I especially loved the outcome!
At first I thought it was "Oak", then I thought it was "Elm", and then I decided it was "Just Plain Beautiful"!
I love the birdsong in the background whilst you work, so peaceful almost like a meditation. I hope you repeat it in a future blog.
They sure didn't want to miss one square inch of that dresser with the paint 😂😂 I have never seen someone paint the side and undersides also. Oh my! Love the restoration!
So much prettier with the natural wood grain.
It's like it as able to breathe a sigh of relief. That dresser stood proud.
I just love the satisfaction of when the paint comes off and you see that gorgeous wood grain underneath! Such a beauty. Great job as always!! :-)
I imagine the dresser saying "thank you." 🥰
I love your workshop drawers, benches and cupboards which look old, recycled and repurposed ❤️
I love it, you just increased the value by 500% !!👍👍👍👍
What a transformation,,,under that ugly yellow paint,,such beautiful solid wood,,, gorgeous
It is so damned satisfying when the paint is so thick and even that the remover takes it off cleanly.
Looking at this restored dresser, I'd have to say it looks more honest, a bit naked and maybe just plain real. I like this clean look......
WOW.. It's amazing to restore this piece back to it's original with plain clear coat. It is natural, clean look, and expensive. You have taught us so much that beauty doesn't have to put too much color on. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
From ugly duckling to beautiful swan Barry. Great job.
I like the simple, clean finish you gave it. Goodbye, ugly yellow paint! Hello, Barry Special!
Simple, yet beautiful. I miss hearing your voice. A pensive mood is okay too.❤❤❤
I swear I could hear the dresser breathing after being freed from all that paint ❤
The wood grain was a beautiful natural feature all in itself. Great job Barry 👏
"Spring is coming soon..." is what Wisconsinites tell themselves in February to get through Winter.
Very nice!
The paint peeling reminds me of peeling Elmer's glue off my skin when I was a kid🤣
Natural beauty for the WIN!
Sorry have not Committed in a while. Been in the process of adapting with health and relocating several times. Now at my 5th location in 6 months, looking for a possible home or perhaps a Motorhome here in Cleveland. Still always watching though, Barry. Always appreciated your work and enjoy sharing. Excellent tedious detailed work as always. Winter months have been a bit tough for all of us. Stay safe, stay warm, and stay creative, my friend. Your work is always well appreciated. Helps get my day started. Thank you for being you.
I missed hearing you talk. I understand there was less of a story but just hearing your thought process going through the piece would have been enough. Again masterfully restored from trash to a treasure that would have a place in my home. thank you
I think this wood is maple . I am so glad you restored this piece, the yellow had to go. 👏🏻💕
Stunning transformation, thanks for getting rid of that ugly yellow paint.
Simply, beautiful! Thank you for exposing the lovely natural grain of the wood. ❤️
Thanks as always for the video. I like to save your videos for days when my anxiety is worse since the videos always seem to help my mind slow down for a bit. I agree that while the woodgrain in this wood was not the most amazing I have seen, I still love seeing it over that yellow paint.
The only thing I miss is you telling us what kind of wood this is cuz I don't know.
But as always, you did a beautiful job .. absolutely beautiful
Looks like cedar to me.
I thought it was pine
I understand not wanting to stain pine. It looks much better! I liked the shop sounds.
It’s so beautiful! I’m so glad u restore pieces! I get really so annoyed seeing beautiful wood furniture get chalk painted and rub on transfers smothered to death. They do for views & $, never about what’s right for the furniture pieces!
I totally agree. No respect for beautiful wood pieces. Although sometimes, the repairs made to severe damages can't be camouflaged for a restoration and paint is the only way to go. As long as it's tasteful, I'm OK with it. (Sigh)
O.M.G !!! I really like yelllow, but, really, HELLO!! What a disaster that was! And now look at it! FANTASTIC ! Who would have thought, that under that Gluck, was a pristine, but plain, piece? Man you are so right for the job you do! Long live Barry! King of the rejuvenators! ❤️🦘
Goodness! That is night and day between the two looks. It is beautiful
Superbly rescued! Thank you,
I drool every time you open your sandpaper cabinet
Unusual to see the hidden sides and underside of the drawers painted too!
Looks sooo much better without the horrible yellow paint on it! You did a fantastic job restoring the chest of drawers!
Now, doesn’t that look 100% better. Beautiful
I love the comment about not painting or cutting into the wood. Thank you! I never did figure out the wood type.
I love this one. It looks very much like it has a story hidden in the grain. I can picture it in a cabin. Thank you! It is a lovely video!
Simplicity is refreshing. Classically nice
The shop sounds work well for me and like others have said, I miss your voice which has a soothing timbre
Great job! Years ago I took 7 layers of different colored paint off a round pedestal table. After lots of gel stripper, sanding and reconditioning the wood, it turned out beautiful! You have inspired me to once again salvage what someone else has damaged and bring it back to life....Thanks. I forgot how much fun working on that table was.
Actually today I enjoyed the quiet video. I had so much talking at me today that I hid in my study to get away from it . The dresser turned out beautiful but that is no surprise. Great job as usual!
I love the clean simplicity of this piece. It looks so much better than the bright yellow paint; it is more dignified somehow. It will live a nice long life in its refreshed state.
The dresser looked so happy!!! 🤗
Hey Barry. That bureau looks great. Nice and simple and clean. I did miss hearing you narrate though! It’s okay. Next time. Until the next video, take care!
Actually the grain of the pine looks great. Very swirly and interesting pattern. Love it.
Es un crimen haber pintado el mueble de amarillo. Resultado perfecto 👌
Saludos desde ANDALUCÍA ESPAÑA 😉
Another great job/video. I love how the paint peeled and scraped off, very satisfying. Glad you are back making videos.
Ooo la la! Stripped down to bare skin and looking beautiful! Lol. I'm being silly.😉 I'm always amazed by how you know the exact right things to do to bring out the best in a piece of furniture. Well done.
I enjoy your back stories and also your soothing voice. And bird sounds are great too
Love the natural finish. Those handles are beautiful. Glad you used the originals.
Peaceful. Simple. Beautiful.
Wow, that’s one time when simple turned out to be a stunning look! How pretty. Well done.
Another beauty! And...yet another piece that I too picked up and refinished. Great minds think alike!
When you said you weren't staining but leaving natural, I thought "Oh no." But it turned out beautiful.
Simple white pine 4-drawer dresser. Many were made for the un-finished furniture stores. Buy it and finish it yourself. That could be why someone painted it yellow. My sister liked flat black. Go figure. Thanks for the video. Jon
Furniture restoration ASMR, brought to us by Barry. It's a shame to see beautiful wood like that covered up with paint, especially canary yellow paint. Nothing against yellow, but that wasn't the most skilled paint job either. Lol.
That dresser was asking for help. Barry to the rescue! Now it's all repaired and and rejuvenated. Simple elegance.
This restoration felt "honest". Going to the bare honest basics. I'm normally not much a fan of this light look, but this can't be any other way. Wonderful!
I loved seeing the shims made from an old wooden ruler. Someone was doing some creative problem solving.
I liked the music during the video, but I also like when you narrate. I love the stories you tell about the furniture, it's the reason my husband and I love antiques so much. We appreciate you !
LOVED the quiet video this time! And everything about what you did was spot on. Love the blonde/bleach look!
First time seeing your videos. It's so gratifying watching you restore that beauty of a dresser.
Hi Barry, you did it again, what a great outcome from the canary yellow dresser you started with... I love watching you strip paint, so satisfying ...Take care....
I missed the part where you identified the wood. Loved the transformation.
What can one say except once again you have performed another refinishing miracle.
Such a beautiful piece of furniture. The wood grain is gorgeous.
Simplicity is always best.🥰🥰😍😍
Brilliant. Too many people on UA-cam paint furniture, but there's nothing like the natural wood finish - this looks lovely. Thank you for sharing your work. Take care 🙂
That looks beautiful! Although I do miss the narration… a piece doesn’t always have to have a story…LOL! Just teasing! You do such great work!! Take care!
Oh Barry! What a treat. I really dislike yellow, and really love seeing those giant slabs of paint peeling off, so seeing yellow removed in slab was so satisfying. And such a beautiful result. Well done.
I agree!! Was just thinking this about yellow yesterday-I like some shades of it in certain contexts (like softer, creamier, glowy orange-ish yellow can be nice), but straight, pure yellow just gives me a headache lol.
Basic and charming. Makes me think of Japan.
I really liked the unique drawer handle shape.
The simplicity of this piece and video is great!
I just finished re-finishing my small kitchen table top. I sanded it after stripping the old stain. I then chose Polyshades Classic Black because that’s what the box store had. Did three coats for opaque solid finish, then 3 poly coats, sanding between. Used restore a finish on base, legs and two chairs. Then feed n wax. It was a great project and amazed my hubby I think.
You inspire me and I always think of your channel when I see a can of GF Candlelight….lol!
So calming that I could see doing something like it with a thrown off piece acquired last month.
I have recently found your restoration videos and I have to admit that I have become addicted to them. :-) the combination of the artistry the music you choose, the whole Zen experience of watching is really impressive. I find the creative spirit that is involved in this work, very interesting.
Thank you so much Ian
@@MadCityModern ...you are welcome... interesting chap... definitely a gym guy and seems very chillaxed lol
Such a beautiful, natural piece.
Beautiful work once again! I just want to say thank you for all of your hard work to create these videos for all of us. You do such a great job. I can't imagine how many hours it takes to film and edit and make each one unique. Your videos are a gift.
Super-impressive, fascinating, satisfying, and just beautiful to watch. Great job!
Purist that you are, beautiful 👍🏽
I loved the simplicity of the video mirroring the simplicity in the piece. Thanks for another great video :)
Hi Barry, absolutely stunning. It’s beautiful. Well done Sir. Joyce ❤️🙏🇺🇸
That simple look is glorious!
Ugh! I have to agree that scraping this much sucks!!! So, bringing on the stripper is best!!! You're going to still have work anyway on the details. Not an AMSR person, but this reminds me of working with my Dad on different projects, so thank you!!! ☺️ I'd tell you to go on with your bad self, but actually I think you do a good self spectacularly!!! Thank you!!!
Wow, that paint came off so easy! I'm struggling with removing over 100 years of paint, undercoat, varnish, filler🫣. Great result.
I think it is because the person who painted it yellow didn't prep it well enough (thank goodness) or the paint would have stuck in better. Or perhaps coated it with something before painting...
I love hearing your soothing voice, but I get it!!!! Thanks for the great video:)
Nice video Barry, I just think it is funny how you say Spring is coming when a winter is just ending. Look forward to. Seeing what new prooject is coming up next.
Да он и жолтенький был замечательный!
