    I’ve watched every, every chalk paint, milk paint, whatever paint video posted on UA-cam and this is the most beautiful, very simple but different repaint I ever seen, including Pinterest. Great job.

    This piece exceeded my expectations. I’ve watched so many of these furniture redo videos, which I often enjoy, but this one was a step above... inspirational, and a true transformation. You are very talented!

    Wow. It doesn’t look rustic, it looks very upscale and sophisticated. Well done. I love it.

  • @artsy8751
    @artsy8751 3 роки тому +23

    This is my favorite so far!!! I love that you always do 2-tone, gives a lot of character to the piece and you always showcase the wood grain!

    This has to be one of the best videos I've watched about restoration, and I'm so glad I stumbled on to your channel by accident! Love the simplicity that gave this piece such an upscale rustic look, and a new life! Enjoyed your commentary, you give that "just right" amount of info!

    Wow. I really thought the black would wash out the architectural touches and yet it really makes them pop in a trendy/classy way. You certainly have an artistic eye for these designs. Love it. Thanks for sharing!!

    This transformation was perfect! I have been experimenting with black stain, and the results have opened up more ideas for furniture pieces.
    Keep up your amazing work!

    Holy cow!! How many times has a gawdy piece like that made into the landfill because it's just so stinking outdated? And then look what you did to it!! It's incredible!! You have an amazing eye!

      @raquellambropoulos279 3 роки тому +8

      Outdated is EXTREMELY IN NOW. one of the reasons is because a dresser from the last 20 years is not solid wood and is in the landfill because the drawers broke. Mid century modern is what everyone is denanding especially vinetage and not copies of vinetage like most designers are doing. I would kill for this peice even before she did her magic

    I can't even believe that's the same piece! What gorgeous wood grain you revealed when you stripped it. Someone is going to love it forever (and maybe build their whole decor style around it.) I think I probably would.

    Thank you for keeping and loving the natural wood elements, its nice to not see chalk paint slapped on every surface. Not that I hate chalk paint but that’s 99% of “restored” furniture channels now. You and DIY WIFE have become my favorites at the moment.

  • @ElveeKaye
    @ElveeKaye 2 роки тому

    This dresser went from ordinary to stunning! I love black and white, this would look good with a lot of different decor styles because it's old-fashioned and modern at the same time.

    Sometimes you just jive with the way a crafter works and girl, you're it for me. As someone who redoes furniture, especially wood pieces, watching you work was so relaxing and satisfying. This piece is gorgeous and I'm inspired. Also...I have never heard of the balm for the wood, so much better than wax.

    Angie, you may be new to UA-cam but you are quite knowledgeable about the entire furniture restoring & flipping process - as if you have been doing it for years. You also have much more inventory & completed projects than just a beginner. You say you don't have of some of the extra tools that furniture flippers typically have, but obviously it hasn't slowed down your ability to be a creative genius : D Yippee for us viewers at home who get to see magic happen when you pick up a disaster piece and (with your limited resources but unlimited creativity) transform it into an unrecognizable stunner!

    This is STUNNING. I know I'll be ending up with a lot of my parent's old vintage pieces one day, and I'm hoping I can transform at least a few of them into something half as beautiful as this.

  • @fionakirby9234
    @fionakirby9234 3 роки тому +2

    The way you can look at a piece and see what it could be instead of what it is, that is a talent in itself! I love watching you transform pieces into something that anyone would be honoured to have in their home, this piece is no exception 🥰

    Really admire that you managed to make over a poor old monster into something so sleek and desirable. You've given this dresser gravitas! I love all your choices here, the black metal hardware on matte black, the contrast between pale washed wood and darkly painted drawers. Of all the very cool furniture artists who participated in the $100 Challenge, your aesthetic is definitely closest to mine. Better still, the skills and care you put into your work are second to none.

    My opinion - Everyone who watches this video should become a subscriber. Such beautiful videography, music, editing, your voice & descriptions. A pleasure to watch, learn & gain inspiration to refinish a similar dresser I have (& loathe 😆).
    Years ago my sister had some dressers professionally whitewashed (with a southwestern grayish tone). Forgot how much I loved them...until this presentation.
    So happy I just stumbled on this video... NEW subscriber. Thanks so much for sharing your talents.
