I am a wood purist. Wood and wood grain speaks to me. Having said that, I am one who hates painted wood and I think that comes from having a grandmother who painted EVERYTHING when she had left over paint from some room painting project! She also wasn't a very good painter ... ! That said, when you stated this wasn't a wood piece, you had my curiosity on what you were going to do. Your work, color choice and the little details you shared made this a pleasure to watch and has given me some ideas to explore. Thank you!
I love it when someone turns a boring mass produced “junk” piece into such a pretty piece of furniture. That color is so rich! I’m glad you kept the hardware.
It was a great piece to begin with, you gave it an updated look and breathed new life into it....the finish on the wood reminds me of an Asian technique....Congratulations ❤
Love it! Good call on the bronzer. Looks great with the color you painted it. I have a vanity I'm painting. The veneer is too far gone to fix it. I think this color will look great for it. The bedroom is in grays, lavenders, plum and my Fenton glass collection is purple tones and maroon and cranberry. 💜🩷 You explain everything so well! I'm inspired! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the disclaimer. I love painted furniture as long as it is not antique, And antique if it is a terrible mess.. Looking foreword to more.❤. Great Job!
The beauty of working on a piece like this is that you are actually upscaling it. The waxing really brings this piece alive. Gorgeous makeover! ❤ Shirley
Oh Honey PLEASE DO AWAY WITH THAT INSANE MUSIC. 🤢😵 Sorry I did want to see the out come of your creativity However. Whew What a 🤕headache from that sound Yikes 🥴
As an antique dealer who for decades stripped layers of paint from pieces whose value was cut in half by well meaning ignorant people, I disagree. There's plenty of junk out there that needs your creativity. I deeply appreciate your discretion.
Magnificent flip! You are a master with the wax aging. After flipping for years I still cannot get the kind of precision control you have. Incredible transformation!❤
I would have preferred to see someone repair the wood strip and refinish this piece. But damn this looks incredible with the painting and detailing you did. I really love that interior coloring. An incredible piece anyone would love to have in their home. Having those great skills with painting of the raised areas so it all blends so nicely really makes the whole thing stand out.
The more I see this wine color in furniture and decor, the more I like it. I absolutely love this! It’s beautiful! And yes, I love me some Dixie Belle too. Such a great line.
This type of applied detail was huge in the early 70's - think of the Spanish Mediterranean craze, in furniture. I believe it is referred to as varathane molding.
Great piece to experiment with! Kind of an odd design. It looks like drawers with that decorative design but opens as doors. I was hoping you would go purple! Nice job.
I've had a few pieces of furniture that I would have called antiques. The rest was just old so I painted them. I just started using chalk paint last year. I had the piano from childhood that was ugly so I painted it with chalk paint. I've painted my cherry toned furniture to black and it looks so good. Well IMO and some family and friends agreed or lied. ha.

I like this, it is so rich looking!
I liked it better before the highlights on the scroll work was done
Stunning piece!!!
I think it's GORGEOUS! I love you're custom color! The wax and the gold make these details-decoration on the drawers pop! Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you!! 🤗❤️

It kind of looks like a cheap piece of furniture anyway so I don't blame you for painting it ❤😊 the end result was GORGEOUS!!!
That's a beauty!

Love the Marsala colour!
Thank you!
Thumbs up from The Netherlands Amy, gorgeous cabinet and no raised stencil needed
Thank you!
But even if it was wood, it’s your piece and you can do whatever you want with it! (And it looks good!)
Totally agree, never understood what some people think gives them the right to tell others what to do with what they bought and own 👍

Girl listen!... you can "freely do anything you want" whether it's an antique or not. Never allow criticism to stifle your creativity. Never!❤
Exactly
I so agree. I would rather paint a piece and use it, than “ save” it in the garage.
Agreed beauty is in the eye of the beholder and thats yours, u purchased it😂

Magnificent flip! You are a master with the wax aging. After flipping for years I still cannot get the kind of precision control you have. Incredible transformation!❤

An incredible piece anyone would love to have in their home. Having those great skills with painting of the raised areas so it all blends so nicely really makes the whole thing stand out.
I think you missed the part, at the beginning, when she stated it wasn't made out of real wood. 😉
The more I see this wine color in furniture and decor, the more I like it. I absolutely love this! It’s beautiful! And yes, I love me some Dixie Belle too. Such a great line.

Great piece to experiment with! Kind of an odd design. It looks like drawers with that decorative design but opens as doors. I was hoping you would go purple! Nice job.
Very rich looking. Looks Fabulous.

Beautiful transformation! Love the results ❤
Thank you!! 😊
I've had a few pieces of furniture that I would have called antiques. The rest was just old so I painted them. I just started using chalk paint last year. I had the piano from childhood that was ugly so I painted it with chalk paint. I've painted my cherry toned furniture to black and it looks so good.

I redid a piece in a similar color and added gold gilding wax as a highlight on top of the black where I used it, so better said, I love it!
Oh what a gorgeous piece!
Love it! Turned out wonderful. Thanks
What excellent work you’ve done!!!!! Nice job
Thank you!
Wonderful job! It's giving a baroque vibe. It's a piece that you design a room around.
This reminds me of the baroque style furniture at Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, Germany. Fancy and beautiful.
This piece is really spectacular!
This pattern is almost identical to the wrought iron on my front porch.
Absolutely Stunning!!!!
Its really a gorgeous piece of furniture
This is absolutely beautiful
Beautiful job! Really does look superb!
Thank you!
Such a change. Absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful as always ❤
Thank you, Rita 😊
