I purchased this Streamline Moderne/Art Deco 4 Drawer Chest of Drawers for $20 from a local thrift store. This Dresser had obviously been painted with a bright blue chalk paint. In this video, I will attempt to remove all of the blue paint using Kwik Strip Premium Stripper. I will then apply a traditional early american penetrating stain to restore the finished look this piece would have had in the 1940s. Thanks for watching!

I'm Back! Thank you to everyone who has checked in over the last few weeks. Things are great! I am excited to be uploading several videos in the next few days, so make sure you are subscribed to the channel. Thank you for all the support! Barry
Awesome 🥰🙋♀️😊🙏
Yaaay!! To all the above. Great to see ya Barry. I was missing that soothingly soft voice of yours.
👍♥️ your work
love ya! ❤ and your work 😊
Good. I've been missing my Mad City fix...
The waterfall top has two bright yellow ribbons that literally look like gold in the sunlight. It's simply beautiful. Your work is done in detail and with love. 💖
Thank you for putting it back into it's natural state, the grain"falling down" makes it a really beautiful piece of furniture
So glad you saw that
I love seeing stuff like this! I love watching people paint old furniture to give the pieces new life, and I love watching people remove the paint to restore the pieces, too! It makes me wonder if the people who originally created the pieces ever thought of how much love would go into them over the years 💙
This made my day
The wood and hardware look fabulous! The satin finish enhances the beautiful wood grain. Barry, another amazing restoration!
Thank you for being a part of the premiere
The wood grain that carries all the way from top to bottom drawer with out breaking pattern, is worth saving this beautiful piece. Well done. ❤
You caught that! Nice
The dresser looks so good. It was worth it to take it out into the sun to reflect all that hard work you put in.
Thank you
As always, your careful attention to detail resulted in a gorgeous restoration. Glad to see you posting again and to hear things are great.
Thank you Bob. I'm back!
Yay! Barry's back!!!
Hope to see you in the chat
I have a 1930s-40s dollhouse filled with walnut furniture in this style. I love the deco and moderne period.
Oh wow! So cool
@@MadCityModern My favorite piece is a walnut piano I bought on eBay from an elderly lady who received it for Christmas in the 1940s. It has a wind up music box in it that plays March of the Wooden Soldiers.
I like the handles because they are historically true to the era of the furniture piece. They make me think of those train photographs.
Just gorgeous 😍!!!
So GLAD you didn't repaint it and allowed its original natural beauty to shine.
You are so very talented!!!
Thank you Kathy
Wow, that came out nicely. The original hardware was the right choice for it.
1940s “waterfall” dresser. This looks so much better!
Thank you so much
I don't subscribe to many channels, but your comment about bringing furniture back to it's original condition is what I love. I know not every piece you work on is restored to its original condition, but your skillset has saved me lots of time. Beautiful job Barry, it's like time has stood still for this piece. Thank you for all your hard work...
Thank you. This really made me smile. Welcome to the channel. Barry
What a good job you did! It is always so satisfying to watch the stripper lifting the paint and revealing the beautiful wood.
Thank you so much
I thought that spider was coming through that screw hole for a second. Whew! Made my heart skip a bit. haha. I love this kind of video, when you take a trash-worthy piece and bring it right back to it's beautiful life.
That would have been great🤣
That's lovely. I don't know why anyone would've wanted to paint it blue!
I wondered the same
Beautiful! I have to admit though that my jaw dropped when you said you didn't love the hardware. It was the first thing I noticed and I loved it immediately
Thank you Erin
Look at those colors on the top. 😲. That definitely was worth painstakingly removing that paint. The hardware looks pretty complementary on that finish. Great job, Barry.
Thank you Nathalie!
Beautiful!!! That wood must have loved to finally breathe and you’ve shown her glorious lines.
Thank you so much
Barry, it turned out just gorgeous! That top - with every shade from red to gold goes absolutely perfect with the fall leaves! Splendid job!
Thank you very much! Barry
I thought it would be scratched up, but it was just scratches in the paint. Oh my goodness it's so beautiful now. He's so talented.
Takes my breath away! BEAUTIFUL! Makes me wonder what the whole bedroom suite looked like. WOW!
Thank you. I also wondered
Great job. You were so fortunate to have found a piece that was in immaculate condition.
This is my FAVORITE furniture style. Thank you for the rescue and bringing it back to life!
Oh my heavens. I can’t believe this was under all that paint. It turned out beautiful. Great job !!
Oh gosh, it's just beautiful! My father-in-law had a whole set in his bedroom. Headboard and footboard, dresser, wardrobe and even a lady's vanity. I wonder what happened to it. I really enjoy your videos. They're very soothing and your work is excellent.
I hope to find a set like that
We missed you! This dresser turned out beautiful.
Thank you so much
She looks better than she likely did when she was made. Well done
Thank you very much!
My sister had a dresser like this. I'm glad you kept the hardware on it.
Thank you Susie
I was fully subscribed and then found that my 'all' notifications had disappeared. of course I have reinstated the notifications.
I love this restoration
Wow! Thank you for checking
I enjoy getting old furniture and restoring it to its original beauty.
Sometimes it's really not about the profit from flipping it, it's the deep satisfaction of taking something that may have gone to the dump or was so hideous because of paint and making it beautiful again.
Heck, lots of what I repair, refurbish, stain and varnish gets given to someone who appreciates and needs it.
I can never understand why someone would slap ghastly colored paint on beautiful wood veneer like that! Great job! ⭐️
I'd like to see how things in the modern Era would look if we went back to artdeco
Same here!
I’m not 100% sure, but I think my late grandmother had a similar set of dressers. She had a tall dresser like this one, and another that was wider and had a mirror. The hardware was different, I think, but I can’t be sure because I haven’t seen the dressers in a little over a decade. Thank you for the memories, which were triggered when I saw the beautiful wood grain on this piece. You did an excellent job with this restoration.
Thank you for sharing this
Barry, you are one of my favorite UA-cam furniture flippers! Love your work.
Wow! Thank you so much!
THANK YOU so much for doing this particular piece...my personal favorite style of vintage furniture..that beautiful wood grain and curved waterfall top gets me every time...Love to see them brought back to their true glory... Stunning!!!
Thank you Karen. I love this style too
Beautiful wood, beautiful piece, beautiful restoration!
This dresser is gogeous! I not only appreciate your expertise and attention to detail, but honestly, your voice is so soothing and meditative that at times I listen more than watch. I love your channel. Thank you.
Thanks for another beautiful restoration and keeping the original drawer pulls! I happen to have inherited my mom's dresser and dressing table of the same style and era. She got this set in the mid 1940's. I also have one of her cedar chests of the same era. They have traveled to 7 duty stations -including Guam, and are a permanent fixture in our home and my heart. (The dressing table/vanity has a round 3-4ft mirror attached and has survived all those moves!) Thank you Barry for your videos.
Thank you Karen. I love when others share memories
I’m glad you’re back! This piece looks very beautiful underneath the paint. And as always, your attention to detail is fascinating! Thank you Barry! It looks amazing at the end! Handles and all.
Stunning Barry. You really are so talented. I find it hard to understand why people want to cover up such gorgeous wood grain. To each his own. Thank you for restoring this beauty. 😊
Beautiful! The natural light definitely shows off the wonderful results!
Thank you so much
Barry, you have so much patience!! It reflects in your calming voice and attention to the details of the restoration. This piece lost me at seeing the grooves and the paint!!! But I get to experience that satisfied feeling of a complete restoration by watching your videos. I compare it to the final step of sewing on the binding to a quilt. I love holding the quilt in my lap as I hand sew the final binding in place and admiring the final product. Thank you for sharing your passion.
Absolutely stunning and the hardware looks so much better when the natural wood grain with its beautiful array of colours is shining.
Thank you. Missed you in the chat today
@@MadCityModern Sorry I couldn't come tonight I was calming kids down, tonight was meltdown night for them both . Last day of school for a week and it never goes well (Autism).
Pristine finish in the sunlight. Thank you fir your quiet calm
Thank you Nancy
Beautiful, and so much patience! The blue made it look cheap, now it looks classy!
Thank you!
The wood grain is gorgeous!
You have refinished my absolute favorite style of furniture. We call it a waterfall style. We are lucky enough to have a tall dresser and a glass door front bookcase with a small drawer on top. Difficult to find this style in any kind of shape to refinish or restore. I think the handles, while sort of brutal in style are perfect with the wood tone and grain.
Wow! Awesome. Thank you
Lovely piece done by a master restorer. Glad to see you are back. You’ve been missed.
That was a lot of work, and it was worth it!
Wow! You did a fabulous job on this dresser. It looks like it's brand new. Love your channel by the way Barry 💞
Thank you so much Lorraine!
Simply magnificent Barry, what a joy to get to sit and watch this transformation. Someone is going to absolutely adore living with this beauty ❤
I always appreciate your comments
Art deco is my favorite style of furniture. I would love to have something like this, you did a wonderful job. ❤️
Thank you Jennie
Beautiful finish on this piece. I love Art Deco and the colour stain is perfect. Just gorgeous. 🙂🇦🇺
Thank you Dianne!
See, I actually thought you were attracted to the piece by those brass handles. Gorgeous, warm highlights in the wood.
I'm hoping to restore a beat-up waterfall dresser just like this without destroying the veneer - this is so helpful! Thank you!
You can do it!
Really good finish choices. You did right by that dresser. I'm glad you kept the original hardware. Thanks, Barry!!
That wood grain is simply gorgeous! Another amazing job! ❤️
Thank you Valerie
I’m catching up on your videos tonight. It’s my birthday and I am vintage just like the dresser. Circa 1968 though. This is spectacular and the way the light hits it in the sunshine was beautiful. Keep the channel you…your manner and attention to detail keep us coming back!!!
Thank you so much. Happy Birthday Lucretia
Wow...another beautiful piece you saved!...from the blue blue blue paint job! Fantastic job!
Barry: although Art Deco isn’t one of my favorite periods, this restoration is beautiful. Excellent job. Carol from California
This was a lot of work and attention to detail. It turned out wonderful! You did such a great job!!
Thank you Sandra
Beautiful job. I love that you kept the hardware. It is so hard to find a piece anymore with the original hardware.
So glad you are back. Missed you.
Thank you so much
The beauty shines again!!!!
I have to say, you really like bright colors over there 💙
They keep showing up!
Трудоёмкий процесс, но результат потрясающий!!!
Браво, мастеру!!!
That is what talent, passion, art and skill looks like! Very nice, Barry
That dresser has beautiful grain and a rich, deep color. Nicely done, Barry! I was thinking the same thing about the hardware, didn't love it but best to keep it original. But really, with a little polish and the beautifully refinished veneer, the brass looks really nice.
I always enjoy your comments. Thank you! Happy Friday
I remember as a child admiring my parents’ bedroom suite which was very similar to this piece. Great memories!
Very much looking forward to your new companion channel. Thanks!
This reminds me of the bedroom furniture my mom had as I was growing up. You made it beautiful again.
Thank you Stacey
@@MadCityModern you're welcome Barry.
wow, what a classic piece of furniture you have restored. pleased you left the original handles.
I was surprised to hear Roanoke at the beginning! It's where I hail from haha. The dresser turned out gorgeous as always 😍
I have this very dresser right now. It is used everyday. It was my dad's when he lived at home, then mine, went across the country with me, then back. And soon will be returned to my dad when my new custom shelving is built in my bedroom. The finish is a little worn, but it is intact, and looking good. Not as good as your restoration, but... Maybe I'll do that do it, as it's gorgeous.
Love this! Especially the fact that you continue to use it. Thank you for sharing
BEAUTIFUL JOB!!! What on earth would make anyone think "Hey this beautiful waterfall front dresser would look so much better painted blue." OMG I would want to strangle them.
I wasn't quite sure about this color 😁
Probably for a kid’s room.
I'm usually all about mid-century, but THIS IS GORGEOUS!!! 😍 This was time well-spent and it will look great with so many different interior styles.
I hope your time away from the camera means you did some traveling or just spent some well deserved time off to rest and reset. This was another winner! What a labor of love! I have two waterfall dressers very similar to your piece that someone had covered in paint and Bob Ross esque landscapes. While I love Bob Ross, I do not like it on my furniture. For 8 years these have been sitting in my master bedroom closet so no one can see them. I just have not had the will or desire to go to the lengths it takes to make them shine again just as you did with your piece. After watching this video however, you have revived my desire to make them beautiful once again. God give me strength...lol! Glad to see you back...you were missed!
Sorry, company stoped by just before you started. The dresser wasn't mine, I painted mine orange 😬 The dresser looks beautiful, at least the work you did. This dresser reminds me too much of my orange one for me to like it. I do appreciate the work you did and also the wood grain.
Thank you for being part of the chats Connie
I inherited 3 pieces in this style from my grandparents.
Love this style!
Looks exactly like the drawer set that my parents had. Wedding gift 1944. Beautiful work!
Wow. Makes me miss my mother's 'waterfall' cedar chest. I didn't know the name Sleek Moderne. Thank you! Love the look of
restored wood. 🙂
So glad you enjoyed this
I really enjoy your craftsmanship and your videos. Thanks.
I have a soft spot in my heart for a nice waterfall dresser. Maybe it makes me think of my grandmother’s house. 🤷♀️ Whatever it is, I love this project! It’s not the style of my house (I’m a MCM girl!), but it is beautiful. I had several waterfall front pieces in my daughters’ rooms when they were growing up - two dressers, and a desk - and think they’re beautiful. Yours looks like it just came off the sales floor. Great job!
Welcome back! I love watching all your furniture flips!
Thank you Lisa
Omgoodness. How gorgeous. Thank you for restoring it to is former glory. ❤
This piece is stunning. I love watching you bring life back into these pieces. Thank you. God bless.
Thank you so much
The different tones of the veneer on the top of the dresser are gorgeous 🥰
I am thrilled you're back, Barry. Hopefully, all is well with you, and yours :)
WOW!! What a Gorgeous 😍 piece of furniture, and didn't that top, turn into a double take view!! Thank you, for sharing your talent, time, and truly useful, furniture restoring information :)
We finally found our forever home, [I forget if I have mentioned it yet] moved into it in June, and guess what? It has a workroom,I JUST FOR ME! 🙂😀😃
The workroom still has quite a few boxes, but one counter area is clear, and soooo, I am about to "give it a go!", and restore(maybe repair, too) a little magazine and newspaper, holder. I found Curtis (not sure why that name came to me, when I thought it should have a name, but everytime, I thought of a different name, my brain would say "don't do that to Curt) sitting on the short wall, in front of the dumpster bin below. Someone, else, thought he should be saved, and not tossed down into the mountain of garbage, below.
Wish me luck, everyone, please! 🙃😊
Oh! Also, I am a stay-at-home dad, to 3 young kids. Finding the time, when I have the energy and less pain(I have 2 spinal fusions), is going to be a challenge!
Thank you so much
Stunning and Barry, that hardware was delicious, I'm so glad you didn't change it.
👏👏👏 it's gorgeous with the wood grain showing again! I feel the same about the hardware, keep it with the piece on this one
Thank you so much
So, so beautiful!
Your restorations are always so satisfying. Even though the style of this piece isn’t one I care for, I must say it’s really beautiful. You always do a remarkable job.
I redid this same dresser. It had a lot of cracking of the veneer on the top, so, I filled with body filler, sanded, chalk painted and applied a transfer. Used original hardware as well. It turned out so beautiful.
I love yours!
I love that. Thank you for sharing Jean
Stunning, that wood is gorgeous another piece saved
Thank you Linda
You did an excellent job of refinishing this piece. The stain is perfect makes the grain pop.
I'm a huge proponent of keeping furniture in it's natural wood.
I have several waterfall style dressers and every one of them has wooden pulls that are long, have carvings or inset layers of wood. Absolutely none I've ever seen have tacky metal pulls.
The ones on your piece look like after market reproductions meant for a more expensive piece of furniture.
I do love Moderne as well, funny thing about theses gorgeous waterfall pieces is that although they look stunning everything falls off them easily if you have say, a nightstand for example 😆😨
Haha. Well said
Beautiful! I'm glad you kept the original hardware - I have a vanity with a round beveled mirror that I sit at every day which matches that perfectly!!
Wow! Awesome. Thank you for sharing
Wow! Beautiful wood grain. I'm so glad you brought it back to life. Looking forward to more videos.
You did a great job on this piece, I think it’s beautiful!
Thank you Cynthia
