Some furniture flips are more rescues instead of big money makers. That’s what happened with this dresser. I have a soft spot for campaign furniture and I found this one for $30. I probably overpaid for it considering its condition once I got it home. All the drawers were shot and the base had damage. I ended up cutting off the base and rebuilding a new one. I had to replace one drawer guide and make multiple adjustments on the drawers to get them to function smoothly. I was initially trying to strip it to raw, but that proved to be futile so I painted it out in black. Black and gold is a stunning combo and I think it really works.

My favorite flips are the "rescues" ---- it's why I stopped on your channel to watch what you did to make this a beautiful piece! Every moment of the love spent on this one was worth it (imo)!
Thank you so much! 🫶 Sometimes I just help myself 😊
Very heart-warming how you transformed this dresser from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan! It was time well-spent!
Agreed! 🫶
What a wonderful transformation! And it really took a heart warming turn when you gifted this stunner piece to your good friend. ❤️ Sometimes, it isn’t about money but instead, doing what was right for the chest. The added plus was your friend was the lucky recipient…lovely solution! Wins all around. 🤗
Thank you so much! 🫶
Beautifully finished
Your commitment is
Absolutely undeniably
Awe, I love that you were able to gift this work of love to someone you love. So, you have officially got me properly loving these pieces- I just picked up my first set of campaign nightstands- all you girl! I’m so excited 👏 I typically stick to the classic vintage mcm pieces. But the lines on these are so clean and that brassware against a beautiful navy or black- I’m so here for it!! It was also good to hear you talk about the profit margins and time delegations. I’ll admit I’m still spending too much time with every piece, I’ve got to make some adjustments. So that was helpful to hear. You’re flippin awesome ;)
Oh yeah, campaign pieces are so classic! I’m so glad you are liking them too! 🤩
Good luck with your piece. Yes, I need to heed my own advice on the profit side of things. 🥴
@@ivylaneinteriors thanks 😊
The paint scraping is always so satisfying to watch 😍 love the transformation!
It really is! Thank you!
I LOVED what you did with this set of drawers!! It looks beautiful. Yes, you spent so much more time on it than you should have but oh, what a bonus that was. I’m sure the couple that you gifted it to will treasure it. 👏👍🥰
I know, I sometimes just can’t help myself 😅 Thank you! 😊
Wow!
I love campaign style furniture, too (and I, too, have a husband who says, "Tell me again why you need this...") The red and blue paint remind me of the tempera paints we used in second grade. I love what you did with this chest; the black is so dramatic, and the base and gilded feet are perfect.
Ha! Our husbands sound similar. 🤣
So lovely. I think you could have sold that for profit because it’s gorgeous and quite neutral.
Thank you! 😊
Always use wood glue when screwing wood together. Also, you might want to just buy yourself a small miter saw. Won’t cost much and I think it will make you happier.
Oh yes, I need a miter saw among other tools! 😊
It definitelly looks better then before 😉 How would you rate the difficulty of making the base? I'd like to try it myself soon and I'm quite unsure about the idea.
Thanks Nina! This base is super simple but I think it really elevates the look. I would rate it beginner level skill set if you have a pocket hole jig.
@@ivylaneinteriors Yup! Got one a few months back 😁 I'll try to tackle the base next weekend - wish me luck 😉
Love it! What an transformation👏. The gold on the feets made it look even better. Great rescue!
Right?!! Gold makes everything better 🤩
Thank you so much for sharing your trial and error. I learn so much from people like you. And you are right, they are not all profitable but what we learn along the way is invaluable.
Thanks for the feedback! Sometimes it’s humbling to share, but I hope it helps someone else
Awesome transformation! Rescued! Thanks so much for sharing
Thanks for watching! 🤩
I feel like I need to say that I absolutely love the feet. The piece is lovely now and you are magic. Beautiful❤
Aw, thank you! It was one of my favorite touches. 🤩
Really beautiful. Love the gilded feet. All the little touches make it!
And generosity is the best. As a newbie I can't yet afford to give away and most probably wouldn't want it anyway😂
I loved the feet too!
You'll get there! My flips have improved SO much with practice.
Vc é uma restauradora GENIAL! Seu projeto é Magnífico,A côr da cômoda ficou chique shows demais 👏👏👏🎇🎇🎇 Parabéns 🎊🎊🎊 SEMPRE 🎇🎇🎇👏👏👏 SUCESSO 🎉🎉🎉 SEMPRE.
Thank you! 🫶
Wow, beautiful transformation! I love it! So nice when you can rescue a piece from the trash and so awesome that you gifted it to your friend! ♥
Thanks so much! 😊
You really outdid yourself here! lovely outcome
Aw, thanks Kay!
What a wonderful rescue of an old, very sad piece of furniture. Now it's a very stately, handsome piece.
I agree! I’m a sucker for a good rescue 😊
Vai ficar uma belezura de restauração. Parabéns 👏👏👏🎈🎈🎈 Sucesso 🎇🎇🎇 SEMPRE 👏💐💐💐
Thank you! 🤩🙌🏼
You are a miracle worker! It turned out great! You also have patience with pieces like this! So very kind of you to gift this piece! God bless you! ❤
Thank you so much, Marilyn! 🫶
Give you five! I really do appreciate that you tried, and managed to, save this piece that gave you so much trouble. I was hoping that you could bring it back to wood, but when I saw you struggling, I was glad you came up with a new idea. The result was amazing. And the feet!😊 I want to ask you something. Why didn’t you try to use your scraper from the start, before all the chemical stuff? If it is charp it often works very well on painted flat surfaces. And it saves both money and time. And, I don’t think you’re a bad person, trying to be cost-efficient, I’ve seen so much worse in this business! So overall, I really liked you, and what you do.❤
I use my scraper a lot, but it’s also a lot of work. 🫠
Thanks! 😊
SMH You just couldn't help yourself and take your own advice! Building the base and blinging the feet totally wasn't necessary, but it looks so good!!! :) Whoever painted that in the first place really ruined it, thanks for saving it. Gifting it to your friend makes it all worthwhile. Thanks for sharing your solutions for the drawers, they can be such a bugger...
Oh, I know! 🤦♀️ Sometimes I can’t help myself. 😬 Gifting it to my friend made it all worth it though 🤩
The result was worth it! It's beautiful!
Thank you!
With respect to the "before" condition of this piece, the previous owner should have paid you to take it away instead of charging you for it. Glad it turned out so well and that it went to a good home :)
(p.s. that little vanity bench in the background of your staging footage at the end is so cute! I hope there is a video on what you did with that piece!)
Ha! When my husband saw it he did wonder why I was paying for it. 🤣
I’m still not finished with that little bench. I haven’t found the right fabric to reupholster the seat so it just keeps getting moved around the garage. 😬🙄😊🙌🏼
That piece was headed for the landfill before you rescued it. What a wonderful transformation. You turned a pathetic dresser into a piece that will bring someone else years of happiness to their home. Really great job.
Aw, thank you! 🫶
Thinking that might have been a tempura paint? Love your channel. Please keep up the great work. ❤❤
I bet you’re right! 🫠 Thanks so much. 😊
Great job. Do you mind sending the link for the rollers that you use that you order online? Thank you so much
Thanks! Sure. This is my Amazon affiliate link: amzn.to/40iizDx You can also find them at Fusion Mineral Paint distributors
Wow, that was truly a labor of love. Very motivating how you kept at every little difficulty. It was worth it, it turned out beautifuly and how awesome that you could gift it to someone special!!
Thank you so much! 😊
Absolutely gorgeous piece. 🤩 You are a true artist. Getting inspiration from other forms of art leads to endless possibilities.
Thank you so much 😀
Looks fab in the end well done on a good rescue.😊
Thank you! 😊
I absolutely love the Tricorn Black, and I'm also loving the Cracked Pepper color too!
Ah, I haven’t tried Cracked Pepper yet. I’ll check it out!
What a great transformation 😃😃
Thank you! 🤩
Felicidades gracias por enseñarnos e visto varios trabajos y todos transformados
Thanks so much!! 🤩🙌🏼
What a very lucky dresser! Definitely was just horrendous paint job…and desperately needed a rescue. To top it all off it was a great learning piece with the trouble shooting and all the drawer issues. The base really changed it completely. It seems it was destined to go to a special place…and it did! Job well done!
I ended up with a very sad chest of drawers that had been in an a once beautiful barn that leaked. ( barn was dismantled for its rescue). My other half was taking the the contents of the barn and old house to the dump in his dump truck. But he brought that chest of drawers home. Looked it up and found one that was used selling on a high end site for over 3000! I got it stripped (its paint saved it) but the bottom sat in wet hay and had wood worms. I now, after a year, have it upside down and am now contemplating what I am going to do! So this video has helped in getting me to started. I don’t do furniture to sell but most of what we have I have is not new! And we had to rebuild part of our house and aren’t quite finished! The old part was a 2 room 1886 schoolhouse and I think they must have served a lot of alcohol when they put it up!
Thanks! And good luck on your project!!! 😊
Wow! What patience dealing with those drawers and what a beautiful result. I love that you said even though it wasn't profitable to do so- you couldn't help but make the base and add the gold touches - I totally get it-!
Thank you! Yes, sometimes I just can’t help myself. 😅
👏👏👏👏👏👏 Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Parabéns sucesso belo trabalho 😅😅😅
Thank you!
What a great gift, the dresser looks beautiful! You did such a nice job! ❤😅🎉
Thank you!! 😊
Very nice! I do love that paint/hardware combination.
It was good! 🖤
Could you not just “flip” the red drawer over???
Well, there was a groove in the face of the drawer, so I don’t think it could be flipped. Plus it was dovetailed.
Super fab flip and SO worth it!! thank you
It was worth it! 🖤🙌🏼
good job! This came out really well. I do not like to strip furniture and then repaint it but you made a good case as to why it was the best choice with this piece. You did a good thing by gifting it to a good friend.
Thank you. 🙌🏼
That first stripping agent you used really was super strong back in the day! It ate through my gloves, around 18 years ago, and it turned my skin into rubber 😂 now, good luck getting it to remove fingernail polish from tile 🤣
Right?! It used to work SO good!
@@ivylaneinteriors best on the market! It would strip the paint off the floors in our warehouse like it was child's play!
Love your revamped chest of drawers and the fact you made it a gift to a friend!
I love it,you do beautiful work Lisa!
Thank you so much, Arlene!
Love the work you did on the piece. thanks.
Thank you very much!
Awesome.
Thank you! 🙌🏼
What a lovely rescue! I learn so much from your videos. I call you the wood wizard! Anyway, fabulous job on something I’m sure in my frustration I would have put in the fire pit! And bless your heart for gifting it. ❤️
Aw, thanks Lisa! I learn something new on each project. People think I have so much patience, but honestly, I think working on furniture has taught me to be more patient. 😅
BEAUTIFUL..
WONDERFUL INSPIRING ARTIST.
SOMEDAY I WILL
REFO A RESCUE.
THANK YOU 😅😅😅
Thank you! You can do it!
It would be nice to have something on the feet to help move without damaging the floor.
I usually add felt pads for my own furniture, but I let the new owners decide what they want to use because some people have carpet and some people have wood floors.
@ivylaneinteriors I have just moved furniture in my living room. And some of it was very heavy pieces. They were to heavy to lift to put those moving pads under. Let's say I don't plan to rearrange any time soon.
I'm so glad you never gave up on this piece. You put so much love into it and gifted it to a friend. ❤
Thank you so much! 🫶
FIRST of all… Girl them Shorty shorts should be in EVERY video! You have legs for DAYS! SECOND of all… Never apologize for all of the gold! I love it all! Fantastic job.
Ha! Well, I only wear the short shorts when it's 100+ degrees in the garage! Thank you! I loved it too!
Does your hubby or kids do this with you?😅🎉❤
Just with pick up. 😊
It looks so beautiful! Good job 🌷🌷
Thank you! 😊
It's nice to see someone do the right thing when refinishing a wood piece. Great job!
Thank you! 😊
It turned out beautifully.
Thank you! 😊
You gotta do what a girls gotta do!😅❤
Indeed! 😊
Rescue, indeed. Good for you.
Thanks Donna!
Wow!!! I was agreeing with your husband on this...WHY? Glad you didn't listen to us. 😊 Bless you for gifting it to a person that loved it. You are truly amazing.
It was rough. 🫣 Yes, she loves it! 🤩
You did an elegant and beautiful job on the black and gold dresser and what a wonderful gift.! You are so talented and right from the heart! There could be no greater and lovely gift... BRAVO!
Aw, thank you! 😊 🙌🏼
Großartig
Danke!
What an awesome job!!❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful !! 5 Stars !
Aw, thanks!
Good for you! I loved that you stopped the show to explain that from an economic standpoint, putting endless hours into a piece that has not makers mark or signs of being a top tier brand of furniture. Its so important when starting out to understand the difference between what your heart wants and what makes good business since. So I am very happy you talked about this. The custom base? Well that was ok it will give you more money than without it so it’s okay.
Yes, I really have to rein myself in sometimes and remind myself of the practical resell side of things. It’s a struggle when you have an idea, but you know it’s just not worth it in the long run.
You are winning me over on the campaign style of dressers or furniture in general. I do have to say the history of campaign furniture is very fascinating to me and I love that part of it. But you are winning me over and I am so happy you were able to give back to the friends that had given you so much before, it’s nice to return the favor or kindness isn’t it? Love your style of filming, how you explain and teach us the why and how you are doing something. It helps so much with us newbies!
I’m glad you are liking the campaign style. 😊 It’s just so classic. Streamlined, yet those brass accents just give that little extra. 🤩 I’m happy to help! 🙌🏼
My gosh, you are such a workhorse, you take on projects that are so challenging. You are my hero! Great job on this project. I love your videos.
Aw,, you are so kind 🤩🙌🏼
Wow! What a difference. It turned out beautiful! I might have done gold stripes on the drawer fronts-just a thought.
Thanks! Yeah, stripes are fun too!
I like the ‘ look’ of it. The gold trims dressed it up nicely. I was a bit concerned when I saw the red. Omgosh.
You and me both! Thanks so much!! 🤩🙌🏼
Gorgeous 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you! 😊
That was one of the saddest pieces of furniture I've seen. I love campaign furniture but no way to get back to wood so paint definitely the way to go. The finished piece has an Asian feel to it, at least to me. Great save!
It was sad! I agree it has an Asian feel. 🤩
Beautiful job!
Thank you! 😊
You are a miracle worker! That piece is so beautiful. Well done. Yes sometimes the rescues are important too, to save them. I love that it ended up being a gift to a dear friend. Applause!
It was a fun piece! 🤩
Turned out Beautiful ❤
Thanks Dorothy! 🫶
Loved it. A perfect Trash to Treasure... You might have won something on that one. 😊
Ha, maybe! Thank you 😊
Wow!!! Love it!!!
Thanks! I did too 🤩🙌🏼
What an unbelievable transformation! Just wish you showed the full view a little longer on the revels
Thank you! I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for the feedback 🙌🏼😊
Such a good job.
Thank you!
It looks so good.
Thank you! 😊
Yes, from a sort of a failing piece to something special!
Beautiful, I love it!
Thanks so much!! 🤩🙌🏼
great job!
Thank you!
Great save!
Thank you!
I guess you CAN make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear! Great job. I love it!
Aw, thank you! 🤩
Lovely! Your friend will treasure that thoughtful gift!
Thank you! I hope so! 😊
looks good!
Thank you!
LOVE IT!
Thank you!
Great work!
Thanks Lyssa! 🫶
Plumb?
🤷♀️
Выглядит очень стильно, несмотря на так и оставшиеся проблемы с выравниванием ящиков. На мой вкус - позолота на ножках - уже лишняя - само основание сделано не идеально и лучше к нему внимание не привлекать. Это уже перебор: латуни достаточно на фасаде этого комода.
Is there ever really enough gold?! I don’t think so 😅 Thanks! 😊🙌🏼
In hindsight, Would it have been easier to stain the new bottom and legs before you attached it?
Oh yes, hindsight is always 20/20 🙌🏼🫠
wow you are so amazing .... I could not do what you do.
Aw, you're sweet. I learn something new on each piece!
You are so patient lol. I think I would have chunked it in the trash after all the hard work when the drawers were giving you fits. Wonderful rescue!
Oh my, those drawers. 😩
@@ivylaneinteriors I probably would've said a few choice words too! You did a fabulous job on it!
@@justjulee9135 😅🙌🏼
You can turn the wood upside down to complete the cut 😉
True, but I never seem to be able to line it up exactly.
It turned out beautifully
Thanks so much!! 🤩🙌🏼
Thst was a ton of work! Wow!
Indeed! 🫣😳🫠
