LOVE what you did to it. Music is VERY annoying tho. You did a great job!!!
That music drove me up the wall!!!
I just turn on close captioning and turn sound off it works!!
😄 I must be weird cuz I loved the music
Totally agree about the music...very annoying!
I love how you use what you have to make something useful that you need. There is way too much waste these days. It's unbelievable what you can find in the trash.
You are extremely talented to be able to repurpose a chest into a shelf. The finished product was excellent. It looked so nice in your living room. You and your wife do such a good job with your projects.
Thank you so much. :) It does look very nice in our living room. We've been looking for a long time for something to put there too.
The top half of that dresser would make an amazing bench with some hairpin legs added.....
Don't sell yourself short. This came out great! Those imperfections makes it perfect!
Wow!!!! What a beautiful bookcase. You did a wonderful job! ♡
Just seeing this older video now. "One man's trash is another man's treasure." Literally! Awesome job transforming this piece of furniture (at no cost) and keeping it from the landfill. I think it turned out beautiful. You two are inspiring.
that is great doug you should be proud! as a diyer i have found that some things like drywall or furniture refinishing take a lot of repetition to get really good at so stop being so self critical . love you guys !
fantastic!! I love repurposing ! great job
Idk about were you live but we find free dresses all the time the one has 6 draws and we gave each of the kids their own draw for their shoes then we used the other 2 for their hats and gloves we have 4 kids and buy stock in hats and gloves when we can get them cheep cause they are always losing them. We took another one and left the drawers out and put it in our basement for our over flow pantry. With so many people in our family and a small kitchen we had to find another placeto store our dry foods. Really like this video gave us ideas for the next free dresser find. Thanks for sharing
Very nice! I love repurposing things.....and often pick things up off the roadside.
Looks good and the fact that you had the stuff on hand and repurposed a find is awesome. Love repurposing, you know what they say, necessity is the mother of invention. Thanks for sharing.
Don't put yourself down it turn out great.It will be cherished for many 🌙 moons.I've seen what you can do with wood and the ability to turn something from trash into a usable piece of furniture.👍 great job.
The piece you cut off would make a great childs bench! Add backing....etc. Love to see reuse! Great video!
I thought the same thing!
Excellent refurbish!!
I SEE A LOVELY JOB. DOUG YOU HAVE A MECHANICAL MIND YOU TAKE THINGS APART SO EASY AND PUT THEM BACK TOGETHER AGAIN IN A NEW FASHION.
THIS DRESSER LOOKS LIKE NEW CAMPARED TO HOW YOU FOUND IT.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
It's so gratifying to see other folks taking a frugal and green approach to decorating their home! 🏡 It looks so good! Keep on keeping on. I for one didn't mind the music.
Looks super. It's refreshing to see someone recycle.
I think you did a beautiful job, Doug! I would be very pleased to have something like that in my living room. I think the fact that the top isn't perfect makes it more genuine, if you know what I mean. I love to crochet and my husband tells me that the flaws in my work just show that it was handmade and he thinks that is special. I think that is how I feel about the "flaws" in your bookshelf. You did an amazing job of turning an abused dresser into a very nice piece of furniture.
Beautiful job , thanks for sharing.
Would make a great tv stand too! Awesome job!
What an outstanding job.
Picked up a free marketplace curb alert dresser missing the bottom drawer and damage to bottom sides. My idea was to turn it into a bookcase. So came to youtube to see somebody else do such a transformation. Thank for posting your work.
Absolutely beautiful! U did a beautiful job!
My husband took an old tv stand, cut it crossways. Made 2 book shelves out of it. One with doors. It had to be fastened to the wall to keep it from being tippy but, he moved some shelves, much like you are doing, and added some by using those little shelf holders you can buy. He drilled little holes into some of the braces, and had room for those little shelf holders. Voila, 2 shelving units out of one. That turned out great. Didn't even need to buy shelf supports. Can't even notice the uneven shellac on top. Besides, buy the time you put a 'scarf' on top, a lamp and a plant or some other chotchkies, It'll be covered. I love it and I'm sure Ashley does too. Kudos.
I like the dried areas, they just offer a bit more character. I love how methodical you are! Great repurposed dresser.
i would put some baskets on the top shelf for some hidden storage
I wish I had a fraction of the talent you guys have. So awesome, and gives people ideas. It is sad that we live in a disposable time, I miss the old days when things lasted longer, were fixable.
oh that is amazing! you did a sensational job - oh no the top does not look lousy - it looks wonderful!
Thanks!! :)
it's beautiful and if you are worried about the top just put a pretty runner on top :D
I found your channel by happy accident and am so very impressed with the two of you. So, I have subbed and looking forward to seeing more of your life.
ditto Jan n Bruce
It's beautiful! Great eye to see garbage as something beautiful! ~Trish
Thank you, Trish :)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this transformation! Looks like something at an antique store😀😀🐦thank you! Genious!!
Nice job looks like it was bought that way. And for the people who dont like the music there is always the option to turn down or mute the sound.
Turned out great! I love doing this stuff.
Reduce, reuse, recycle is a big thing in our family. 👍 really like this video. I think it looks amazing! You did a really good job
It looks real nice
I think the top looks good! So, much better than when you started! Great project!
Awesome job..love it!!..beautiful..my 12 yr old getting up for school said instantly "what is that creepy music?" I said,"its a furniture video."
haha, thank you.
OMG!!! No Way you never did that before! That looks fantastic!
That opening made me laugh SO HARD. It reminds me of when my niece was that age lol, they are just so goofy. Anyway, thank you so much for showing this DIY! I have an old dresser that I just cannot part with; but I also don't like using dressers. This was the perfect solution.
Excellent job!
I wish I could be so handy like you. Love it hen you can reuse things and bring new life into something that someone has just thrown out.👍🏻
Love it❤️
Thank you, We just do the best we can and are learning as we go.
You did an amazing job. I'm always impressed when someone can see the value in discarded things...and give them a new life. Well done.
Looks great! A lot of work but that bookcase will last. U inspired me to repurpose & finish a few pieces I have in the garage that my Grandpa made. Thank!
I think you did a Great job and it was free. You had a plan and you implemented it. I think it was a success. Maybe your video will motivate me and able me to think of something as well. Have a dresser want to convert into something. Have a blessed day you and your family.
Nice job! 👍🏼
Wow! That came out beautiful! Great job! 👍🏼
The top piece you cut off would make a cute kids bench.
Great job 👍 your wife should be proud to have a great handyman to make beautiful things out of junk👍 I think it turned out gorgeous ❣️❣️❣️
Came out really good. Good job. Top looks good
Thanks!
Where has this puppy been hiding for the last 2 years 8 months? Great improvising! You turned an ordinary rock into a diamond with your skills, imagination, and thrift. Nice video!
Another Great video!!
You done a wonderful job on this! Looks amazing !!
Thank you!
I think this came out beautiful!
Wonderful job. Perhaps a small lamp and a couple of bookends for the top. Of course framed pictures would look great as well. Thank you for sharing.
In my opinion, it looks GREAT!!! 👍💜 Did you do it all in one day?! You two work together so well! That's fantastic and something to be very proud of. It shows your children how married people SHOULD BE!!! 💙💜💙💖
That turned out very nice !!!!
I think it looks great. Free is great. I have an old beat up dresser so you gave me some good tips.
Sweat a beautiful finish to the top! I am impressed! What a beautiful piece of furniture you ended with!
Looks good I do stuff like that every so often.keep it up
Thanks!
I think that was more of a chest of drawers than the dresser cuz it was so tall. I still have my dad's and it's just sitting around collecting dust cuz I can't part with it. This inspires me; turning it into something new instead of getting rid of it. Thank you.
Yes, I would consider it a chest but I felt like it could be confusing for a title so I called it a dresser because more people could relate.
Looks great! Love free!
You did a great job on that dresser :-)
I really like the bookshelf I'm amazed how it turned out.
Nice work. I think the top looks fine
came out very nice
Your shelf is just BEAUTIFUL, great job. Bennie
That came out well. You should be proud.
Use the back part for storage. I'm screaming "NO!!! NOOOO!!!" as you said chop it! :'( Lol! But great job! It's very cool and didn't cost a dime - gotta love that!
That looks great. If I tried doing this it would end up in the fire place.
lol ditto!!
That’s what I’m thinking to do with one of my old dresser, into a bookcase. But I’ll leave the regular hight. Because I love books and have a lot. Thanks for sharing.
Looks great!
when you put that dark 'stuff' on the top I shouted at you, loud and louder, NO, NO you did not hear me! But then when you wiped the top I saw how beautiful it turned out, then the finished shelve, oh my goodness, very nice. As usual, good job!
It turned out very nice congrats 🍾
Beautifully done.
Looks so good. I can dig it and the music
Looks great, I guess I am outnumbered, I liked the music. Can't please everyone. :) Thanks for sharing.
You did a great job and it turned out wonderful !
Thank you so much!
Excellent job you did with re purposing that dresser & best of all it was FREE!! Looks really nice in the living room & the height is right.
Awesome, but way too complicated for me. Great job! Thank you for showing it inside, in the living room! Very nice!
Love it! Ur remarkable!
WOW great job!!!!!
looks great. add a nice lamp so you can choose a book & read at your lovely bookcase. soft lighting options in a room makes such a big difference too.
great idea. you were able to see something special out this trash. Thanks for sharing.
anything can be done with all the fantastic tools u have. I'd love to have ur workspace.
Looks wonderful. It turn out great. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks Danielle :)
It’s actually a beautiful job!!!
Hi, I think you did a wonderful job. There is history and a lot of character in this piece. Wonderful job.....
It turned out great! I always enjoy repurposing items. I find that the most fun and satisfying challenges just use what one has on hand.
Well done! That turned out beautiful! You two are very talented. God bless.
Your husband has so many skills! Where did he learn all this stuff? :)
Just learned over time and he also seems to have a natural ability for this sort of thing :)
Absolutely perfect love that it was made from what you had ..
Super result; thanks for the video sharing!!
Great video I've always wanted to stain some of my antique furniture. It really came out good.
Back in the early 80's my dad converted several old console TV's into shelf units.
My mom still has one in her bedroom.
Wow you are a pro!! It looks totally AWESOME 👏 👍🏻😀 great video
Great build enjoyed your display of skills!
I like the project. Next time, glue all the pieces together and the piece will be a zillion times sturdier.
I love how your repurposed what you found along the road!
