    You SHOULD keep the glass on top. They are in good condition because of that and they took care of them. Furniture always stays nicer with the glass somehow.

      Opinions differ, but I like glass on top of pieces in a bedroom to protect from water damage.
      For those who like protective glass it’s fairly inexpensive to have sheets of glass custom cut. You can get the glass shop to put little wafers under the corners to provide a little airspace between the furniture top and the glass.

      It is up to the owner AND I do keep glass on top of my wood. I’m constantly spilling crap and putting crap on top, plants, drinks, etc…. So the glass tops are an extra score for me. 😊

    I’ve been watching you for while. I love the fact that you wear clothes that have stains on them. Many people on other channel wear their best clothes without a drop of stain or paint on them. I also love that you admit that you don’t know something.

    Looks great! I think you'll be even happier with the nightstands if you put the glass back on top of them. They will protect the finish and glass is a lot easier to clean/dust.

    • @probablynot1368
      @probablynot1368 Рік тому +2

      Speaking as an Interior Designer, I agree with you. A wider drapery rod with stationary side panels, perhaps with a larger format green print, behind the bed will create the illusion of a much wider window. The panels should not extend any further than the sides of the bed. The side window should also have matching side panels.

As much as I’m really not a fan of glass tops, I think it is a good idea to use them on the nightstands. It’s a lot less worry and easier to clean. Great job, take care stay safe.

Makes them look more finished and expensive. Also agree with someone who said put long curtain rod up and hang panels on outside of window for appearance of bigger window.

    Sue Wolfe- Stunning transformation of these pieces, Lauren. Enjoy them. I'm always impressed at your ability to make so-so pieces into works of art. I'm so glad you're the recipient of all your hard work! I would probably keep the glass as it adds to the uniqueness of those pieces. We had mcm furniture growing up and I now grasp why we had the glass. But boy, is it expensive. It'll save your finishes, no waterspots or damage to the wood. That's why you found it in such good shape! Enjoy!! 😉👏👍💪❤️

Let me just say that should you try this YOU WILL NEVER LOOK BACK I PROMISE 😮. The media used to blast is baking soda...I bought 3 of the giant boxes at dollar general at maybe $3.80 a box and was just shocked to see how effortlessly the finish came off a old singer sewing cabinet..RIGHT TO THE ORIGINAL OAK VANEER! ..MIND BLOWN..It was like magic, dusty, dusty magic. Not saying that it would take paint off (maybe with different media?), but try it on an unpainted piece, use eye goggles and a good mask and if you prefer a spray suit because you will look frosted by the time your done lol..sorry to rattle on but I have retired my scrappers 😅
