    What was your favorite part of today's flip?

      One of your worse pieces so far. So disappointing..

      I am going to say $250?? And the best part was covering the blue paint that wouldn’t come off.

      Loved everything...except the stencil drawers. It would have looked so much better. Had you paint washed the drawers before stenciling ... Or just left the stenciling out completely. Otherwise, good job!

    I have that very dresser. Found it in a barn of property we bought in 1984. Still in the same condition I found it. It may be time for an update.
    I’ve always liked the nicks and dings and scratches. It has been in my living room since I found it. Half the veneer gone and third drawer won’t open. Never has. I’m retired now and all the kids and grands are gone.
    It’s her turn.

      @@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture had a fire on Sunday. Lost my shop. My dresser was in there. I had just started. Life is weird. Grass fire that spread. Just the barn and 4 old semis that have been parked. When the grass fire hit my oil drums and fuel tanks, it was over! (Truck yard).

    I hate most furniture transformations as they just "re-paint" in some hideous grey colors and replace hardware and think it's worth $$$.. I LOVE that you were able to strip and restore the wood to its original beauty. The light, natural wood grains are beautiful. Wow, the understated template pattern roll over the drawers could have destroyed it all--but it looks amazing. I can still see the natural grain. It really elevated this very simple chest of drawers. Very nice.

    Love how this one turned out! There's no way the plywood on the sides would have stained well, so great decision to move forward with paint. Loved seeing you use the carbide scraper. Awesome job with this one!!! You do great work!

    This is by far my FAVORITE piece you have ever done. This is just the look I love. I don’t even know if I commented the first time I saw it but it is worthy of a second. I WILL be doing something like this in my own home. I don’t flip I just watch and learn. I’m so thankful for you, you stay right with your flipping theme. So many channels get bigger and bigger and then go away from the roots of what brings us to you. I’m all for growing but this is what me personally love to watch most of all. I don’t stay engaged when I watch what goes into stores or more about merchandise rather then flipping. So CONGRATULATIONS to you. Have a wonderful weekend

      That’s what I thought too. To me the top small drawers look out of wack due to keyhole in the centre. Maybe one centred handle would be better? But I absolutely love the design on the large drawers! I’m going to copy this style on my old waterfall kitchen cabinet.

  • @deawallace3584
    @deawallace3584 4 місяці тому +1

    I suggest using a dryish brush to dab paint on the stencil areas..keeps paint from running under edges of the design. Also it is good to use 3 colors (dark, medium,light) for the design...gives depth and interest that keeps the eye moving instead of just an unlively flatish look.

    I was not crazy about the color you chose and I didn't like the knobs you chose but it did come together better than I thought. I may have chosen a different color and different knobs but I do like the stencil on the drawers and I think I will be doing that on an old dresser I use in my main bathroom. It was a lot of work but I was impressed with how you handled it.

    @conniesisco6468 Рік тому

    Stunning!!!! I had a cabinet that had drawers on one side and a door on the other that had been natural wood, pale yellow, blue, hunter green then brown! Lol When I tried to strip it, everything came off down to the blue. That blue refused to come off. I tried a heat gun and finally wound up using a scraper. It had plywood panels exactly like your piece, and I ended up painting those and doing a wash over the rest, it was a nightmare and took forever, but it’s absolutely beautiful now.

    I just love how great the neutral knobs look.. And the surprise factor with the stenciling looks great. With the paint being so hard to get off. I think that's a tip-off that there could be lead paint. You should talk about that in your next video. It's great that you saved another beautiful piece from the landfill.. Absolutely, gorgeous wood.. I think this piece is absolutely beautiful..
