Painted and Stained Vintage Provincial Dresser Makeover
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2020
- I recently worked on this dresser makeover while live streaming here on UA-cam. I wanted to share the process of painting this provincial dresser using water based latex paint, stripping and staining the top, using wood stain as an antique glaze, and highlighting it all with some gold wax. I hope you enjoy this video! Feel free to join my painting community on Discord: / discord

Funny, I loved the original color and was disappointed he was going to paint it. Then when he painted it I loved the light blue and the light colored top and was disappointed when he was going to stain it darker. Then he stains it darker and, you guessed it, I love it! Goes to show that I should withhold judgment until the entire process is complete. Awesome job.
With all the poorly constructed furniture being mass produced these days it’s a pleasure to see quality pieces be saved. Beautiful.
That's all people can afford sometimes. Poor people can have nice looking things too.
The gold touches simply makes this piece.
You do the best job I can see on internet. The quality of your piece is incredible and you have an eye for tones. Some people just slap on paint for quick change, you create a piece of art.
I have this same dresser. It was my moms, mine and now my daughters. I’ve been want to redo it but it always scares me-worried that I will ruin it. This video has given me courage to try. Thank you!
Christina Comeau A technique like this - you can't go wrong. You can do it. Blessings.
I found this same dresser for $40 at a second hand store. It was in good condition, so I cleaned it, painted it and turned it into a vanity.
Lucky you! I wish I had that dresser. I especially love the drawers. Hope you will show us when you are done
Same here.
Don’t worry it’s not a real antique, you could only improve it.
I always appreciate the transformation from the uninspired original finishes to your reimagined creations, often with abandoned materials no less. You have quite the eye for color harmonies. And you disprove the old adage that watching paint dry is boring.
I love the puppy!! 💕 when he waves my heart melts!!
I really don’t know who gave this video a thumbs down, why? Oh well you did an amazing job, I’m a Designer and I’m always so impressed with your work. You do such good work. You keep putting out great videos and we will continue to watch.
A little knowledge from a "UA-camr": UA-cam loves "engagement". Like, comment, share, dislike; UA-cam measures them all the same. So it doesn't bother me. 😀 Appreciate you watching my video (and enjoying them). Take care!
I learned a lot. After you finished I felt like “we” did an outstanding job!
@@ThatShabbyGuy And now I need a paint sprayer. thank you
Whoever gave this a thumbs down, their finger must be broken. This was absolutely beautiful!
Keep up the beautiful exceptional work!
Great job
I love watching an expert do his job.
Beautiful Job. Sure I’d like more live streams. Your dog waving to you was so cute.
Love it. And your dog, oh my goodness, what a doll.
😊 thank you
its toxic for the dog those products, you wear a mask but not him and you know dogs smell 100 X stronger than human, so, please let him out of those products
Once again, my dog was not around any toxic fumes. Keep in mind this project was shot over the course of a few days. When my dog is in the shot, it is safe for him to be there.
Would love live streams and more videos! This dresser is amazing
Working on it!
I had this dresser with complete bedroom set from 1973. It was my absolute favorite.
I had it, too, with the 4-poster bed. Loved it!!! I bought a vintage dresser for my bathroom. Not painting it. I love it exactly the way it is.
@@bunnyrose9525 I also had the bed. Such a beautiful bedroom set.
I have the 4 drawer chest that matches that piece. I would love to have my chest that exact same way. Well maybe one day. Your piece is absolutely gorgeous.
I have the large dresser with the mirror. Got it at antique dealer real cheap. In great shape. Glad I saw this video. Gives me inspiration
Loved to have seen it restored back to more original look. I have some original pieces and want to learn to restore them. Thanks for name of gold leaf to you!
I have the exact same 4 piece bedroom set that was my mothers. It's 56 years old. It been sitting in my cellar for quite some time now. The original color was an off white leaning more towards the white side with the gold trim. Over the years it did turn yellowish just like the one you just did. I keep it because it's a good piece of furniture and I don't have the heart to throw it away because it has no damage except for the paint. The one you painted came out beautiful! However, I prefer the original color. I wish I knew somebody like you who could restore it back to it's original beauty. Love your channel!
Please do a pink vanity some day 🙏😂 love this video. I just talked to you on Facebook but thought I'd comment here too you deserve so much recognition! Lol
Love the dresser... love the color....but love your adorable puppy more!! What a little cutie pie!
Every time I drop in to see what you have been up to I am just wowed again, beautiful work!
Amazing. I love love that you respected the wood and brought it up to date.
Beautiful! The hardware makes the dresser-top POP!
The glazing is so amazing in blending a top with painted sides - so they make a single statement in the same general tone! (I really was never aware of that idea before.)
👍 Nice Job!!
I would love to see some metallic stenciling n future pieces..... just a wish. Thanks for Sharing 🙂
I’m a big fan of the way you refinish the furniture you take on, and have tried to emulate your style and techniques more than once. I’ve learned a lot watching you, and I look forward to each new project.
I have a dresser very much like this. I only cleaned it and added rosy gift wrap to the drawer fronts. It is awesome. I get a lot of compliments on it
That is awesome!
Amazing work, making me want to go out and flip furniture 😂❤️
I can’t say enough about the quality of your work. I have an entire kingsize bedroom set that people have turned down doing the refinishing and repainting. I'm determined I'll do it myself
Wow! It always amazes me when I see the transformation of a meh piece into a gorgeous finished product! Great job as always!!!
Beautiful transformation! I had the whole bedroom set as a child and sold it many years ago. Your attention to detail is fantastic.
I too have a complete set of this furniture white with gold and a canopy bed to go with it. and I sold it! Wish I had it back now, I think about it quite often often.
I still have my Dresser set! The wide one like in the thumbnail, for my son for now, and the tall one for my baby girl's clothes, and the big one is currently in the garage with art work inside. They're in pretty good shape and clean but need to be refurbished to extend their lifetime! I want to learn to do it myself ; )
I had the whole set with canopy bed as a little girl growing up. I guess my mom eventually got rid of it
@@nancynewton319 oh I have never seen the canopy bed that matches this set! I will look it up!!
@@kathyterwillegar1972 I had the same set as a kid...my eighth birthday present..I had the canopy bed too..my granddaughters inherited the dresser.. canopy and chest was lost.
You are an artist and a genius. You have taken a cheap looking French Provincial dresser that the Goodwill rejected and before our eyes transformed it into a gorgeous piece that looks like it came from a suite in a 5-star Paris hotel. You are a Master at your craft, that is for certain. I can't imagine who the 19 morons are who gave this a thumbs down. Obvisouly someone who doesn't know beauty and art when they see it. I happilly subscribed to you. I can't wait to see more!!!! BRAVO TO YOU.
I have the same set from when my 25yo was little. I repainted it & colorblocked the drawers.it was magical
Amazing. That's my favorite color, too...teal, and, aqua.
This turned out beautiful. Fun to watch too.
GOOD ONE! Thanks for the great live stream. Always helps to see the energy that a big job takes. You make it look easy! I'll be back for more...
You made this dresser beautiful again. I also like the format of your videos. You are awesome and I love watching you work.
I love the blue with walnut top.
Great job oh my goodness it turned out absolutely stunning!! Did not even know you could glaze over paint with wood stain and the gold wax, GORGEOUS!!! Thanks for sharing this process with us!
I LOVE the stained and painted together on one piece! Gorgeous! You’ve inspired me to play with more paint and paint techniques on the pieces I build. I used to just stain almost everything.
The contrast of the natural wood takes this piece over the top looks so beautiful ( I love natural wood and I cringe when I see people paint over it ) I would love to have that in my bedroom
I am sooo impressed! Your work is superlative and your patience with detail is amazing. If I had 1/16th of your patience, I'd be thrilled. The finished product is just beautiful! Good for you. I really enjoyed viewing this. Keep up the great work. Thank you...Stay safe.👍😃 Your puppy is so adorable!!!
This dresser turned out AMAZING! I loved the dark top!!
GORGEOUS U DID A GOOD JOB LOVE THE COLOR
Thank you very much!
Absolutely love your precious puppy!! And all your furniture pieces! I love this piece!
Fantastic, well done and the color is outstanding
Sorry I missed your live😔 You did a amazing job 👍🏾 I love it😍🙌🏽
Thank you so much 🤗
This is gorgeous! I could/would never do this on my own. I would pay for it, though! Adorable puppy!
Loved it. I also put my hand on my back when I paint.
That is beautiful! Give your dog a hug from me ❤️❤️💖💕
Yay!! Your video found me! I just purchased an entire French provincial bedroom set for a steal, and was not sure how I was going to repaint it. Now I know!! Thank you!! 🥰
I love your work as a furniture artist. It is so relaxing to watch you strip, stain and paint your pieces. You have inspired me to paint with a sprayer and I love it! You have also inspired me to stain the tops of my pieces which is so classy, but I have yet to do. I am a little intimidated by staining, but determined to try. Thank you again for sharing your skill and knowledge. Please keep creating! :)
Beautiful! I want to try that stain over paint method! Love it!
So often you find a mixed wood content under the paint, you were lucky! What great hardware!!
I just found you today! Another great project. I LOVE the blue but I never diss furniture because of the color. That's a matter of preference and taste.
I've just started my first project after watching your videos for the past month, really liked the extra touch of adding the gilding wax to finish off with.
It turned out amazing. I love watching the transformations!!
I really like this color on a French Provincial piece. Very creative. Great color for the top. Well done.
The French Provençal furniture is absolutely gorgeous when refinished in grays and silver- if you ever do another... but this one turned out so beautiful, well done!!!
This looks beautiful! You get lucky on your colors. I only see browns in crappy paint in the mistake paints. I didn't see the live stream but I like the length of your videos. Thank you!
Thank you! Cheers!
Loved this project. You do such inspiring work
That looks so much more elegant now! Bravo!
I have that dresser! What a beautiful job you did on it! Tfs
Hey there, wow this became fabulous, gorgeous, I love the colour choice and the staining and the gilding goes so well with colour. And all videos from you I like, Life or videos like this, so keep them coming :)
I’ve seen men do some strange things with a tube sock but that is awesome 👏 sanding skills
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
This is rad. I personally rarely to never have time to watch live streams so I appreciate a sort of recap video like this. You're making me want to pick up the brush again, man. I took a break after losing my mom last year and have been thinking about starting up again but need that extra...push. Keep posting inspirational ish like this and there will be no stopping me 😉🤘
What a beautiful transformation! I love the color.
Glad you like it!
Love how you are teaching us at the same time.. Your work is beautiful!!
Thanks so much 😊
I had this same dresser all my childhood! What a beautiful job you did! Absolutely gorgeous!👏🏼❤️
This dresser is officially GORGEOUS!
That dog is looking at you like "Why is he working so hard?"
Beautiful work! Love the subtle details too with the paints.
You did an absolutely beautiful job on this project!!!
Beautiful, the dresser looks great. I enjoy watching the live streams so yes it would be great if you did more.
Thanks!
Gorgeous! I have this same dresser(set), I want to redu it Just like THIS now!! I have had it for all of my life..and it needs life extension... Also, I watched part of the early livestream! Thanks for teaching us so much!
Wonderful! Thanks!
Love this! I bought a similar dresser that I want to paint blue with stained top and convert to tv/ stereo stand by taking out lower 4 drawers and making them cubbies.
This is amazing in every way! The attention to detail is incredible! Good job! I hope to see a lot more as you are so talented!
Spectacular job..💗
Thank you! 😊
This is gorgeous! We're working on a bedroom set with a dresser exactly like this - got ideas off of one of your old videos to stain the top and paint the body light gray with white glaze. We started it over a year ago. It's a process and a learning experience! Trying to get the poly smooth is where we're stuck right now. If ours comes out half as beautiful as yours, I'll be OK with that :)
Another beautiful piece! Great job. All I can think of is Nantucket when I look at it. Stunning thank you for sharing your technique.❤
Super talented, I've learned so much watching you!!! Please keep them coming what a joy to watch
Stunning! I love the lustre the walnut stain gives to the blue! Does the gold wax come off the handles?
As an aside love the p**n music from early 70’s to mid 80’s 😂
I love these, so talented . Is this furniture ever for sale? I wish I could be as talented.
Yes. It is often sold before I put the video up. You can do it. Just takes practice. I've got over 800 pieces under my belt!
Looks great! Thanks for the tips! I have several pieces just like it that I want to redo. Love the stained top! Can’t wait to have a go at it myself-
I have a desk I've been wanting to refinish and can't believe how great yours turned out! I had no idea the top could be stained. Can't wait to try it. You did an amazing job, LOVE it!
Hey Shaddy Guy was there a reason you painted the symbol the 'Sun Cross' when you where painted on the wood stain on the side of the dresser?
I was wondering when someone was going to ask this question. 😃 I sometimes do some sort of cross or X to spread the stain around before doing the full brush strokes. I have no idea why I did it that way this time, nor have I ever knew the many different meanings of the symbol. I thought it was interesting for the video and wondered if anyone would say anything.
Thank you for your reply I did consider if you were making a subversive political statement by painting he Sun Cross but I am not a conspiracy theorist. I love your videos guy I find them relaxing. In a disposable society I applaud you reusing and revitalising pieces of furniture that may have otherwise ended their time in land fill. Keep us inspired. Thank you.
I have on that was my grandmother’s and I’ve been wanting to refinish it just like this since the old finished is damaged. Thank you!
I have this complete set, from my childhood. Don't you dare try to calculate my age. I'm older than that. ;P This small dresser, a tall dresser-on-dresser, two nightstands, Queen headboard, and two different jewel cases. I purchased a couple of the pieces as an adult when I saw they matched this set.
I love how well made it is. Solid wood and lovely lines. I stripped it to bare wood, conditioned the wood, and went to town with a true flamingo pink. Kind of a brilliant saturated coral. Warm "gunstock" wood stain as an antiquing glaze. Copper wax to the edges. Fresh copper hardware I made to resemble botanical elements, sealed to keep it bright and avoid tarnish. It's a very different look than what you have done. Just goes to show how much the finish can impact the vibe.
I guess my point is this: Do something that speaks to you and it'll be fine! No wrong answers.
I do enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
This dressing is gorgeous !!! Doing the top natural made all the difference. I noticed you’re left handed...that’s why you have an artist eye !!! Left handed people have a tendency to be the artist and poets in our society.
Gorgeous! The color is perfect for that piece
Love it. It turned out beautiful. Your dog is so adorable.
OUTSTANDING , yes do live stream, the piece came out so good ! WOW!
Very nice. Yes on the live videos.
This is beautiful !! We bought our daughters the complete bedroom suite doing the 70's
I’m new to your channel and I loved seeing the transformation you did on this beautiful dresser. Your work is amazing.❤️😍I can’t wait to see more.
This is a very thorough refinishing job . My grand daughter is using her mother's childhood dressers that are like the one in the video. They are made from maple and I hope that they are professionally repainted in the near future to modernize them. I found dressers without the French Provincial style but by the same company that no longer exists. Again very durable furniture that was purchased for a fraction of the original cost.There is a business Studio 3580 in Carp which is just outside of Ottawa that painted my maple bedside table that looks excellent .
Beautiful work. Thank you. You make it look so easy. We know it's not easy, you have skills.
Amazing job! This dresser is gorgeous!! I learned so much too. Thank you.
Although this is a 1960ish repo piece, it is still made better than many products that are produced today.
Hope that this encourages more people to refinish those older pieces.
I love that when you can, you keep the top wood / stained. Beautiful
You got some skills man...Great job.. thanks for sharing. Cheers!
