    I don't think white would have been my choice but you did a beautiful job with the piece, and, after all, it's your piece for your home so it should be your taste. Love how you staged it. I have several mission style antiques inherited from my husband's grandmother. She was married in 1905 so she bought furniture in the predominant style of that time.Lucky for me I love it too.

    You truly set yourself apart from most, covering details that others would overlook. You're an inspiration. So glad you chose to keep this and put it back to good use. Also, your reveal was spot on! I had goosebumps watching your creative final reveal. So amazing! Barry

    You are not weird. You are one extremely talented and meticulous crafter. This is the first video of yours that i've watched and im keen to see more. Im not a restorer or woodworker at all but i ❤ watching talented people bring something old and worn or neglected and giving it a new life. I almost cried when i saw you put those paint brushes back in the drawer. Ive watched heaps of furniture restoration videos and you are right up there with the best.

    I just pulled a table from our parking garage when somebody moved and can say I have the knowledge to finish that and an oak chest of drawers with your video. Not that I haven't seen many other diy ers do this but it came out so well and you are a positive speaker. Thank you.

    Such a wonderful job. But the thing I admired the most was the way you stated " they left behind some treasures" what a wonderful honor you bestowed upon the items left behind.
    This shows what kind of spirit lives inside you. May God richly blessed you.

    Wonderful job! I have dreamed of finding a piece like this for years - for sewing and art supplies. Complete removal and prep of hardware must ALWAYS be done. If not, the job is always a nightmare piece/sloppy mess someone else must fix later. I've never seen a piece like this from Globe. Truly envious!

    • @coloredcaboosecreations
      @coloredcaboosecreations  2 роки тому +1

      I totally agree. Just couldn’t bring myself to painting this one not that I have anything against painting obviously LOL. I even considered painting it green which is my favorite color but it just didn’t feel right.

    I love your globe cabinet! I loved your video and you are so right about going the extra mile cleaning every piece up completely. You did a great job on this I didn't care for the white wash finish myself but it is your cabinet and if you like it that is wonderful!

  • @Coolgirlinacoolworld
    @Coolgirlinacoolworld 2 роки тому +1

    This was great! However, with my experience, those knobs were most likely brass plated. If you ever get another item like this, and don’t like the rose gold color, to show off the true brass undertone you have to be gentle because they are just plated aluminum. Boil the hardware in water and vinegar then gently buff out with fine steel wool.
    Looks great either way! Only learned this trick because I had an old 1930’s house with old original brass door knobs.
    Thanks for the video!

  • @alliekingsley7919
    @alliekingsley7919 Рік тому +1

    I think for me, I'd have gone a darker gray color rather than a stronger white, in the corners, but otherwise I adore how this piece turned out, and obviously, it's not going in MY home so my tastes don't actually matter!
    I think you may own a custom Globe cabinet, btw, because I see several pieces that look like *half* of this old beauty, with drawers instead of glass doors, but not *both* halves. Either way, it's worth a small fortune, and I love that you were able to snag it for your craft room!

    Globe Furniture got its start in Walkerville, Ont. (near Windsor) in 1889. It came to Waterloo in 1910. Globe Furniture Co. in Waterloo Canada, known for the ornate wooden pews, altars and pulpits it made for churches in Canada and as far away as Peru and South Africa, also made school desks and theatre seats, etc. Globe Furniture closed in 1968 after being forced into bankruptcy. The plant next became the home of DeLuxe Upholstering Ltd., which made chairs for the La-Z-Boy Chair Co. of Munroe, Mich. The plant was demolished in the 1990s.

    I’m so excited you are keeping your beautiful cabinet. You deserve to enjoy the fruit of your labor. All the work and care is so visible in its final beauty. Love how you staged it. I love waxing over milk and clay based paints..feels like butter . Love how the white wax gave dimension to the crevices. Well done.

  • @AngieWilliamsDesigns
    @AngieWilliamsDesigns Рік тому +1

    The color choice of doing the whitewash wouldn’t match my style… but I still absolutely love this. What an amazing job of bringing this piece back to life. I love that you have the restored sewing machines in there as well. You are very talented. Definitely motivates me to give more thought to restoring some pieces that I would maybe think needed to just be painted. I also thank you for the recommendations for products. I bought some of the rust rescue stuff and the oil. I am working on a hutch right now. I had cleaned up the hardware and screws and then the next day the screws were all rusty. Not the first time it’s happened. But great tip to use the oil.

You had made comment that maybe you’re weird with some of the work you were doing but I have to ask how can pride in the work you’re doing make you weird!?! I like that you’re ok with the blemishes this piece still has because trust me with all things as well as with people as we age we at some point have marks and blemishes that come with that age usually earned like with this piece that obviously worked hard for it’s owner through the years and because of your work will continue to be useful and it’s always nice to be appreciated;)

    Would appreciate a review on the surf-prep from someone I'm convinced exists! I'm getting Shakespearean over whether to purchase or not to purchase. I love wax and think that furniture must prefer it as well. Waxed pieces just look happier somehow. The cream colored paint was a better white wash than plain white would have been. Loved its warm glow in the reveal. Thanks for bring this cabinet back to life. I love that you returned the paint brushes to the drawer when you were done as well :)

    Hah! I know where that Singer Blvd sign came from! I have a couple oak pieces I need to restore and I have been trying to decide whether to go with a light or dark wash. I kind of want them in the same color family so watching this helped me decide (haven’t decided for sure yet) -your neighbor to the south (ABQ).

    • @coloredcaboosecreations
      @coloredcaboosecreations  Рік тому +1

      Oh shoot busted 😬!
      Just kidding I found the sign in the backyard at an estate sale half buried in the dirt I had to have it though 😆. Awesome If you want to darken check out the steel wool vinegar way of ebonizing wood. Oak has a lot of tannins so it works very well on that type of wood. Good luck and thanks for watching neighbor 💚

    BRAVO!! It's so gratifying to see someone go the extra mile when doing a restoration or makeover of a piece of furniture! I share your philosophy of taking the time to clean and give new life to every aspect of a piece I'm working on..... especially when you've got one as amazing as this Globe Cabinet! I cringe when I see flippers/upcyclers skip out on the details. I think when you give an antique piece or outdated furniture, extra love & attention, positive energy comes back to you tenfold. I love your work! ~~Christy~~
