  • This laminate Mid Century dresser was left at the thrift store to die so I brought it home and made it over in a terrifyingly bold, oh so 70’s colour!

      I think I would have liked the wood a bit more natural or lighter like an aged pecan just to see the Graine a bit more. But you did a great job as always. I like the yellow! What a great pop of color! It'll look great in a boho setting!

    You did a wonderful job, Katie, as you always do! A good omen, I think, that you found this piece on your first venture into the shops and for a great price! My personal opinion is that you leave the wood stained dark. Natural maple against that strong gold would be “meh.” You’ve hit on the exact right shades for this very ‘70s dresser.🌸

    @UniqueUpcycles 2 роки тому +16

    Omg I love this! That stain looks so good with that color. Smart move on mixing tobacco in with the boho. It took me 6 coats for full coverage when I brushed Bohemian. I scraped the jar clean! Are you keeping this for your new home!?

  • @honeykat1
    @honeykat1 2 роки тому +29

    It's lovely! I see what you mean about the stain: I think the 3 coats kind of hid the grain of the wood - but on the other hand, if the wood colour was lighter, I don't think it would have had enough contrast against the yellow paint. I think it's great like this - but I'm pretty sure that if you decide to rework it, I'll decide I like the reworked version better. I think I just like EVERYTHING you do!!

    The colour combo is great. I think if you'd left the wood accents light, another paint colour would have been in order. Taupe? Dusty turquoise? Mauve? Thanks heavens YOU pick because I'd mess it up.

    Excellent work. Also, you are one of few, wearing a mask or respirator. The people who work with paint, wood/sanding or resin, that don’t wear the proper PPE give the wrong impression to newbies. I just visited with someone new to using one products. She had no idea a respirator and goggles were needed. I greatly appreciate you showing no only your technique, but the need for proper PPE. Really nice work Katie.
