    I found your channel accidentally last night. I was watching crafting videos and fell asleep. When I woke up UA-cam had your channel playing. My husband refinished furniture and I’d help him, but he had some kind of natural instinct as to what to use, which way to sand and had amazing patience with it. I have skills in other areas. Like I sew and if I mess up taking something apart to correct it isn’t earth shattering. I’ve really enjoyed watching you clean and revitalize these pieces. Each time you said, “writing desk,” I would think of the Mad Hatter saying , “why is a raven like a writing desk?” I live in the Potomac Highlands area of West Virginia. Apples are grown here commercially. I put apple decorations around my home. It’s not all apples all the time, but if I see something cute I will buy it.
    Your finished pieces are gorgeous. I’ve got a few pieces that I need/want to bring back to life. One is a little wash stand looking piece I found on the side of the road in Texas. It’s cute, but it’s mostly pressed wood aka compressed rat vomit and glue. I’m planning to do a crackle type finish on it. There’s a crack where the mirror section came off and crackle-tone can cover a multitude of sins. I’ve also got a gorgeous double rocker with a needlepoint upholstery and arms carved into swans. It needs to be restuffed, the swans are coming apart and it’s in dire need of having the wood refinished. As far as things no one wants; I rent a room and my roommate and I have been keeping an eye on a round dining table at Goodwill. The top was loose and it was diiiirrrty. On Sundays they have a tag color for $1.00. Last Sunday that table had a $1.00 tag. We got it home, cleaned it up, tightened the top and it’s been great. For anyone living in the Austin, TX area keep your eyes open for side of the road gems.

    Each piece turned out fantastic. I wonder if some people realize how much time n effort you put into a piece. I’ve come to realize your skills at making something over is a perfection you’ve conquered. To take something that looks like it will never live again, you make it over looking old n even new. There’s a lot of channels out there that do makeovers but as for me your #1.
    My favorite was the green box but I was a little leary of the blue one but after seeing it close up n adding the porcelain knobs it looked awesome.
    ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟

  • @tinagranados2018
    @tinagranados2018 5 місяців тому

    If we still used phones, the black piece would’ve been a perfect little place for a phone station with the phone on one side and notepad and an address book on the other. It is very very cute.

    I was also surprised by how much I loved the 2 drawer box! I never give pressed wood pieces a second look, but with a great paint job and knobs, you made pressed wood boxes a hot ticket!

The green crackle was amazing, I don't think I have ever seen one so crackled like that. Black was the perfect choice for the telephone cubby thing? They all turned out really great. So happy you gave them a new life. God Bless. Hugs, Rebekah
