Extreme MCM Flip - The paint was SO bad 😩
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- Stripping painted furniture is not for the faint of heart. When I came across this piece on Facebook Marketplace, I could see the potential. What I couldn’t see was all the drips and overspray. Ouch! After lots of stripping, sanding, and more scraping and sanding I was able to achieve a warm rich brown finish in keeping with the Mid Century Modern style. What do you think?

It's lovely. Reminds me of a MCM walnut bedroom suite that a cousin held onto because it had been hideously expensive in 1964! I would have run away screaming from the Blue Beast, but you tamed her with the refinishing equivalent of a whip and a chair.
Ha! Best comment Charlene!! 🤣
Beautiful! Great job!, love it.
@@monaleze thank you! 😊
❤❤❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’m completely in awe of how much work you put into bringing this piece back to life. Now it can go on to live many more years in someone’s home. It is stunning!!
Aw, thanks Patti! 🫶😊
I’m actually REALLY GLAD you talk about your mistakes because it helps me know what to watch for!
It’s never easy sharing fails especially when they are my own doing, but I’m glad it helps. 🙌🏼 Thanks Bethany!
I just did this toning technique on a desk and I kept messing up the top and had to strip it 4 times. I feel your pain.
@@jillhanfland416 toning is tricky!
You saved this piece! I wouldn’t worry about the frame not matching. It’s the way it was made not an imperfection. Beautiful work!
Thank you so much! 😊
I wish I was 20 years younger. I’d love to be able to do this work. I always thought I’d be gardening and painting chairs and refinishing furniture in my retirement. Hasn’t worked out that way. I remember my mom used to do this. How satisfying!
It’s a lot of manual labor, but I do think it keeps me limber 🤣☺️
Those carved drawer fronts! Looked like it was more patience on your part than the stripper that ultimately prevailed. You did a beautiful job, really! That piece would have ended up out by the curb, if I had tried it. LOL
@@freewaybaby Aw, thank you! 😊
Exquisite. You chose the perfect color. I can't believe someone painted over that gorgeous wood -- and even the hardware! The height of laziness. Thank you for bring this piece back to its former glory.
Aw, thank you! It was definitely a rescue 🤩
I learned so much from this! I really like the finish - not too dark, not too light, and true to the era.
I really liked the final finish too! It’s such a warm yet lighter tone 🤩
Watching that paint come off was so satisfying! I love how you take us through the mistakes, I always learn something new when creators do this. The piece looks fantastic, she’s a total Beaty now 😍
Wasn’t it? So satisfying 💆♀️ it’s never easy sharing the fails especially when they are my fault 😩 Thanks Natalie! 🫶
This definitely was a total transformation. You have so much patience to bring the beauty back to this piece that would have most people running from! Great job.
Thanks Dianne! I was questioning my life choices at one point 😅
That dresser was a nightmare! Well done!
Indeed, it was! Thanks! 😊
Your attention to detail in stripping is impressive!
Thanks! 😊
Fantastic attention to detail. Loved seeing those drips and oversprays gone
I admire your tenacity with this piece! All that work!! Job well done!
Thank you very much! 🤩🙌🏼
That should have been free! Whoever spray painted this piece should have to be the one to strip. They'd never painting anything like that again. You did a great job.
Ha, right?! 😂 Thank you! 😊
@@ivylaneinteriors 🎯 You're welcome. 🥰
Live and learn! That dresser taught you some good things you now have more knowledge you can use in future projects and your videos you put out sharing what you learned help others. That’s awesome! And honestly got a very complementary color in the end! That poor dresser was a drippy, colossal mess! And wow underneath all that was a gem…so glad you took it on! I see those rails are just a wee too brown so is you do anything with that dresser I think that is all it needs. I think if I was going to redo them I would just use syringes and just mix fairly mix a small fairly precise mix to do a test that is small. Adjust the amounts in a new mix with cleaned dry syringes.use just enough to do a small test on a rail that has a drawer on both sides of rail. Eventually you will pretty much be able to do such without thinking too much! I did custom framing for over twenty years, new and repairs, and if color was off you definitely can spot it! But so much easier if you can do color matching with smaller areas and when you do go to mix a bigger batch still test that! I hope that helps! ☺️
It does! Thanks for the detailed suggestion 🙌🏼😊
Stripping and sanding can be so frustrating. Sometimes I think I’m gonna strap and then I revert to sanding and then when it won’t sand I go back to stripping again. I feel like you really help us understand that you need to just work through it and I’m very appreciative that you explain the problems you’re having. Your channel is very real about that and it is so refreshing. Thank you so much for sharing the whole process
It really is a process 🫠 I appreciate your feedback. I wish I didn’t make mistakes, but it is just a reality and this is more of a learn with me channel and that’s why I share. 🙌🏼😊

I love this and I hate light wood finishes but you can see the quality and hard work you put into it!
Thanks so much!! 🤩🙌🏼
LOVE the strip job. There is something so satisfying seeing that pain just come off in strips. BEAUTIFUL piece and redo!
Right?! So satisfying 🤩
40 bucks! Now a high end classic piece, you’ve got that magic touch ❤
Aw, thanks Annie!
One word…..WOW! I absolutely love this color and finish. You totally nailed it. This is a very informative tutorial and we all appreciate learning your hard lessons. And I’m thinking about that stripper. I’ve learned not to panic from you and that is monumental. Thank you my queen wizzard of wood finishes.
You’re sweet, Lisa! 🫶 I love the body and drawers. I’m just gonna tweak the frame color and I think it will be perfect. 🤩
Wow, Lisa! What a SAVE! I love the color and what you did with it. I cringed inside when you had to scrape and sand it all to start over.😫 I have a MCM dresser and nightstand that’s mostly stripped and sanded but was put in time out until I feel like doing the acetone with a wire brush to get all the last remnants of paint out of the grain. Way to go for sticking with it!
Oh gosh, girl, I was SO frustrated. 😵💫 And mad at myself 😤 But I had to finish it, so stepping away for the evening helped. I have another dresser in time out right now too 😂
Oh wow - you worked hard for this one! But it totally paid off - corrected mistakes and all. So lovely to see it in its MCM state rather than the ghastly paint cover up. Love it❤
Thanks Joy! She’s ready to shine again 🤩
It's only about a 1000% improvement. There's one thing about tackling a project like this; there's no where to go but up :)
I hope whoever did that paint job watches this video to see how much work it was to undo the damage they did. It turned out really well. I probably would like to see it a shade darker but you did an amazing job of color matching and overcoming all the curveballs this project sent your way.
Also, since you teased us with the demilune by including it in the footage around 33:00 - 34:00, you absolutely must show we you do with that piece !
Ha, it’s a good one! I’ll be starting on it this week. 😊 Thanks so much!! 🤩🙌🏼
You did one awesome job on a nitemare piece! I’d have preferred darker..but just my preference. Well done.
I’m so impressed that you stuck this out!! I don’t like red in wood and you really did a great job getting rid of sooo much of it!!!
I sure tried! Thanks! 😊
Man, Lisa, what a difference! Sad to think of anyone covering that beautiful wood with all that paint! Maybe that’s what protected the wood tho cuz it’s really just flawless. Very cute details on top drawers! Great reward for hard work and job well done❤
I definitely think the paint protected the wood because the veneer was flawless. Thanks so much!! 🤩🙌🏼
I haven't finished the video yet, but I use microfiber cloths soaked in acetone and I lay them on the part/s I want stripped. Within a minute or 2, I use the carbide scraper and it comes right off! And since it dries so fast, the odor leaves quickly.
Great tip, thanks Melissa!
Looks amazing Lisa- I really felt for you when you had to scrape and start over! But its so helpful that you show that you can come back and fix things- I was ready to throw in the towel on my latest dresser but I asked myself- "what would Lisa do?" and I went back and fixed it-:)
Aw, Shannon, you’re funny! Well, usually after a break I can riddle out another plan. I still have one piece in time out though 🫣
She is beautiful! Color is perfect! What a challenge 👍
Indeed! Thank you! 😊
Back to its original beauty. Great job!
Yes! Thank you!
Great job! That piece was a mess and you saved it. So much work. Well done.
It was a mess! Thanks so much!! 🤩🙌🏼
Absolutely beautiful. you are a perfectionist for sure. Thanks so much for sharing this journey. I am in a learning stage and want very much to start a furniture restoring business. I am 63, but it's never to late to begin a new journey. I have done some chalk painting and decoupage on a few peices for myself. limited skill on working on antiques, so thanks for sharing.
My pleasure! It’s never too late! Good luck in your journey 😊🫶
I love it to! I often wish that I didn’t live across the pond in the U.K.! My house would be full of your furniture! 😀
Aw, Lesley, you are too kind 🫶🤩
Hi Lisa! I would like to say ..... Kudos, Bravo, Congratulations to you - on this piece you gave it your all and I commend you for your tenacity. Lovely result! You really do demonstrate what a virtual labour of love looks like. Beautiful! :-)
Aw, thanks Mary! So kind of you 🫶
Thank you for saving that piece! My Lord that was awful! 😂 I agree with you on the frame…keep messing with it. I have faith you’ll figure it out! What a labor of love on this one! 🦋
Oh it was a mess! 🫣 I’ll keep tweaking until I’m happy with it. 😉
You did a beautiful job! I can’t imagine even starting such a project.
Thank you so much! 😊
I’m really glad you show your mistakes so I can learn more from you. Thank you and this piece is gorgeous now .. great job
Thanks for your feedback! 🫶🤩
Beautiful!!!
Thank you!! 😊
Wow, what a beauty under all that. The engraving makes sense in bare wood.
Right?! I was so excited to see it in such good condition too! 😊
It really looks great! Phenomenal job even with mistakes which I appreciate you including them as we can learn from you the good and what didn’t work out so well.
Thanks Kim! 🙌🏼😊

Colour looks great. Kind of a nice bonus that after all the paint mess, you didn’t have missing veneer or chunks of wood to replace.
Right?! I would have cried at that! 😩🫣🤣
Beautiful end results.
Thank you! 😊
I’ve been flipping furniture for about 4 years now. I learned quickly not to buy furniture that someone has already painted….it doubles my work and lowers my profit. Coincidentally, I found this exact dresser with the matching highboy this year and refinished it with some white paint accents. It was gorgeous!
Oh, I tell myself that too and then I find something like this and lose all common sense 🤷♀️
You did a fantastic job, it’s really amazing. Thanks for all the detailed information you share.
My pleasure. Thanks Edna!
Beautiful!! Thank you for your comprehensive coverage, mistakes and all❣️
Aw, thanks Margot! 🙌🏼😊
I think it looks really good! 👍🏼
Thanks Lisa! 😊
Good job! Thanks
Thanks Brenda! 🫶
Such a beautiful piece of furniture. Worth all your work.

So true 🤦♀️ Thanks Laura!
love the color!
Thanks! 😊
Well done you - your patience was tested 😊
Indeed, it was 🫠 Thanks! 😊
All your work is so gorgeous! Your patience is amazing ❤
Aw, thank you!
What a Beauty ! You're an Excellent Teacher !
Aw, you’re sweet Jeannie! 🤩🙌🏼
It is what it wanted to be. Thank you for listening to your furniture. Furniture says. I have something to say! 😂 Another project reaching their potential. Congrats 🎉

GREAT WORK!!! YOU ARE DOING GOOD!!! LIKE!!
Thank you! 😊
Patience, persistence and perseverance won the day--looks Amazing. Color is perfect!
Thanks Mary!! It definitely tested my patience 🫠
Such a test of patience. I don’t know if I could have done it
I like the end result 👏👏
I was a text of my patience!! 😬🫠 Thank you! 😊
I would have given up on the sides and just decoupaged them. You have a lot more patience than me!!!
Well, I was determined to get as much off as possible!
I like it. Just like it is now. A beautiful midcentury piece. Great job 👍
Thank you very much! 🤩
I think it's gorgeous!
