    This wardrobe may have originally been intended for a child's room, but I could see lots of uses for this. Beautiful restoration as usual.

    This might just be my favorite transformation! This piece is now ready for a nursery, a "big kid's room, and even a dorm room or first apartment. This piece is ready to grow with its new owner! Bravo!!!

    I liked the white washed wood. It's bright and if that's birch, then I feel it's perfect. What a lovely restoration. It gives this beautiful piece of furniture the dignity it deserves!

    Beautiful and perfect for a childs bedroom.
    The original colours while bright were totally understandable for a childs bedroom and the original child probably loved it just as much as the next child will love this version 😊

    Hi Barry, my jaw dropped the instant I saw this psychedelic piece! Yuk! It was getting trashed for quite a while from all sides, but you, ever the fixer, saved it just in time. It had completely lost all its charm, but you found it again! I loved the natural birch colour, but I suppose the whitewash look would more suit a baby’s room. I love that you can see the beauty beneath all these “makeover jobs”. It’s like you have created a new item from scratch! We all love what you do! Keep well and busy❤️😊🦘🇦🇺

    You did a beautiful job on this piece of furniture and I really like the piece. In fact, I wish I could find one like this for my daughter, who has a baby, it seems perfect.
    My husband collects vintage camp trailers and I love the warm birch cabinetry in many of them, so I would have preferred you use an amber shellac finish and was disappointed with the whitewash. Although, a young person with a child these days probably would prefer the light color. I loved the decals, so cute!

    Barry, I never know when you have uploaded or not. YT cancelled many of my subscriptions and added ones that I never heard of and do not like in my "subscriptions" feed. I still hate that they removed the "dislike", but that is the thing to do when you are telling people what to think.
    You have a good eye for almost every project, I thought the whitewash would be bad on this, but it would have been boring without it or stained a dark color. I use those wooden knobs all the time, but most seem to not like them. White is the perfect choice especially for a child's room.
    Good to see you got a heater and humidifier, it is so dry up there in the winter the humidifier makes all the difference. I like how this DREO heater turns itself off if knocked over or you forget about it. I learned to use distilled water in the humidifier so I didn't get that water sediment cloud everywhere.
    That blue in your living room is my favorite color, and looks great with MCM furniture. Since we have seen so much denim all our lives, that color is almost like a neutral color. IMO.
    Did you ever do anything with that curved sofa you bought?
    Have you ever seen this Modustrial Maker? I think he used to be in finance but he is hard working and really creative, he reminds me of you. Most of his stuff is "off the wall", but oddly looks very good. Also, Trena in Canada continues to amaze me, can you believe she made a mistake and showed it in her last vid?
    Thanks for the upload.

    • @cynthiafisher9907
      @cynthiafisher9907 4 години тому +1

      That’s not a stupid question. I would let it dry up and then throw it in the garbage, but that may not be the right thing to do.

    It’s an interesting choice for restoration; I often wonder what prompts you to tell us this story or that. Since you have been showing us glimpses of your family connections, is this foreshadowing? Lol, it looks good in your house.

    I’m in the middle of an amazing restoration of nasty painted 1990s trim. Of course, the reveal isn’t as magical…but it has to be done none the less 😂
    I so wish I could be working on a cool furniture piece. Instead I’m getting splinters scrapping off paint on trim boards I could just go buy new 😂

  • @Christin5554

    I have a like and a dislike 🤥. First the dislike: I missed your voice. The like ofcourse is how beautiful the piece looked when you got done with it. No surprise though! I love everything you have done so far.

  • @starsINSPACE
    @starsINSPACE 3 години тому

    I know you want it a bit generic for resale potential, but I think it would have been cute to have painted the 4 wooden knobs with kid-friendly designs that add a pop of color.
    For example, the four knobs could have 1. a red fire truck, 2. a green tractor 3. a blue VW wagon 4. a yellow school bus. Of course, this set of knob designs would be good for children of all 4 genders: firefighter, farmer, hippie, and American who thinks school buses are yellow in every country.
    But seriously, adding cute, colorful designs to wooden knobs is a good way to let a piece of furniture be for kids. If they think it is "too childish" they can replace the knobs with different ones and if they give the furniture to a younger sibling who doesn't like the designs on the knobs, getting new knobs with a design they do like could be a bit of fun for them.

    These pieces of furniture are pretty cool, but it's too bad they made it out of birch. Not that pretty of a wood, not sure if I dislike the wood itself or the whitewash more. Still enjoyed watching the video though.

    Oh oh shoot dude why did you white wash that beautiful wood? It didn't look as though the wood was damaged? I've really enjoyed watching your videos except for this one, kind of disappointed.

    • @starsINSPACE
      @starsINSPACE 3 години тому

      Yeah I would have liked to see more footage of the quality of the wood after stripping the paint and sanding and adding minerals etc.
      But I would guess that a good number of people have a yellow tint to their wood floors so they don't want their furniture to match their floors. The yellow birch is probably more yellow IRL than it shows up in the video and after white washing, that helps mute the yellow tone a bit.
