    you have been such an inspiration for my new home. I really believed that I had to buy everything new and off the storeroom floor but you have taught me to look at something old and to make it new again!

      Hi I love your work! Why do you use the citrus stripper instead of sanding? For this project did you also use the stripper on the entire dresser/all surfaces.

    Well done, April. You knocked this one out of the park. You should change the name of your channel to April "Worker" Bee. HA! You put a lot of love & effort into your makeovers. I'm looking forward to watching more. ♡

    I love your videos because you give such good detail to what you are doing as to brands and sandpaper grit etc. and your filming of the video is so watchable as to the angles you shoot.

    Loved this makeover, and I would love to see a video breaking down the basics of upcycling a dresser. You got do a whole series on how you choose each different furniture piece to upcycle, where you get them from and then give us the basic knowledge so we can do it too! ❤️

    @Chrially2931 7 років тому +3

    Lovely projects as always and you have really given me the inspiration to go into my garage and refurbish and remodel so many things I know I could possibly make a little money off for. I got a dining room table, chairs, and an armoire that are literally collecting spider webs and dust. I think it is great you have turned this into a lucrative business and you have chosen to share your passion with your subscribers and viewers. It is great that majority of the comments are positive and so are the thumbs-up. It is rather petty for anyone, in my opinion, to offer up a thumbs-down (12) when it comes to someone's dream, goal, passion, or endeavor. Also congrats on the number of subscribers (292,919), you are blowing up girlfriend!

    I be looking for a small dresser or even just a four drawer stand to fit in one of my smallest rooms and everything never the right color. These diys giving me hope I could hit up the peddlers ball and make something of the quality I'm looking for without a lot of money. And that looks beautiful I was unsure at first where u was going with it but wow it looked amazing as the outcome.

  • @frespirt1002
    @frespirt1002 7 років тому

    This is UH-mazing! I just discovered you via a Pinterest link for the mirror dresser (which I plan to try). I love that you don’t assume we know anything (because I don’t, lol). I’m new to DIY and your explanations of what each product does is so helpful - thank you! Xoxo PS: I showed this to my 9 yr old daughter and she was wow’ed too. I love that she begins to feel empowered and like she too can do stuff like this. 💜

    Wow that turned out beautiful! I would have screwed some 2x4 to one end of the top to act as a rail and stained it the same color as the drawers and put a changing table mattress in it. Then half of the top could have doubled as a baby changing station.
