I know some people get really bothered by painted furniture but, for all we know, painting this purple might have been what kept it out of a landfill at some point in its life and available for us to appreciate now 😊
That's a really good point
I enjoy the variety of talking and shop sounds. Ignore the haters and critic's opinions.
Also, in my case anyway, a layer of paint can help shield against kittens sharp claws. There are so many reasons for pieces to be painted and as you said, a lot of those reasons can help a piece survive so it can one day be restored to it's natural beauty.
Gorgeous 😍
Cant disagree with you!!! This is more or less what I told my 90y.o. Carpenter of a father when he was complaining about my painting a 3 tiers Louis Philippe walnut buffet. It’s either paint or fire…I choose to keep it by painting it!
I think I'm in love. The grain pattern on the drawers is simply exquisite. Such a beauty. I don't know how anyone could give off about you speaking Barry. I've said it so many times but your lovely soft voice calms my head right down. I suffer terribly from anxiety and some days my head is in absolute turmoil but both yourself and Dashner always manage to ease things for me. If you narrated an audio book I'd absolutely buy it.
You're right, Barry does have a perfect voice for narrating audio books 👍
I agree. Barry has a soft, lovely voice and gives the impression of being a gentle and caring person.
@@lauris5708 Absolutely.
Barry, I missed you and searched you out. Your style is just so calming...you're like the Bob Ross of furniture, and you do such a good job!!
Wow thank you
Great restoration. You brought a nice dresser back from the dead.
I’m impressed by this piece’s grain continuous line through the length of the drawers. It’s lovely.
I'm glad you got a hold to this piece, it is absolutely stunning 😍!
That's a stunning transformation. Huge well done.
The wood grain when adding the oil is gorgeous.
My favorite part
Barry, I am very impressed with your skill and artistry. You took a piece from Pee Wee's Playhouse and turned it into a piece fit for MOMA. I know you have muscles for days but your ability to sand and scrape so fast is truly astounding. I have been watching several of your videos and have enjoyed them all. Thank you
WOW. thank you
Hi, great job, well done. Cheers from Italy :)
Amasing the treasure that was under that purple paint, and you revealed it beautifully! I like the balance of your narration and allowing the sounds of the shop to do their own narration. When you do narration, it does make it more personable, though. As usual, a splendid job!!!
The grain in that wood is gorgeous! Such a lovely surprise lurking under that paint job :-D
When you see what is under the paint you wonder why it was ever painted at all. Even with chipped veneer it's amazing, and with those fixed it's beautiful. 👍😊
Great point!
Congratulations! What a very good job! You gave back the real soul for this beautiful chest of drawers!
Thank you very much!
I like Kleen strip and Jasco. Given a choice I don’t typically choose pieces that need stripping. If I do, I start with a scraper as stripper is expensive and messy. You always share good info so talk away. Your pieces are always exceptional and truly highlight the design of the dresser. Keep up the beautiful work.
Love this..I just love watching the magic happen in front of our eyes. I know it's alot of work and time put into all of these pieces. We are seeing edited footage and what took u countless hours is sumed up in minutes...but I gotta say I enjoy ur videos so much that I'd gladly watch hours of footage to see these transformations.and I can listen to ur voice tell stories and talk about these pieces all day and never get bored. This piece turned out beautifully as always
Such beautiful veneer on the drawers on this. So satisfying to see it restored to show that gorgeous grain.
Beautiful, always prefer wood and straight lines for furniture. This is a piece is my type.
Thank you
Absolutely beautiful
Gorgeous work, and yes I am guilty of painting furniture, but I have been known to leave a very old piece as it is, flaws and all.
Great job on this restoration. I'm always amazed by your before/afters!
SO much more beautiful in its wood grain state. I like purple, but not that much. LOL You did a great job.
Gorgeous I love watching you , so soft spoken. Great getting all that paint off
Absolutely gorgeous💕💕
Great job. Appreciate how you show all the different tools you use and how you apply everything. Wood grain on this dresser is unique. The pulls are so so. But the dresser came out great. It likely would look spectacular with some new pulls that accentuate the vintage vibe.
I like the ones with no taking. Just text. It's like ASMR
Beautiful!
Great job as always Barry, you put the class back into the piece, love it 👍
What a gorgeous piece of furniture! You did an amazing job.
Loved this finish ❤ Great work and respect you have for natures woodlands.
Beautiful
OH wow! That was really satisfying. What a beautiful piece
Wow! All that beauty hidden revealed again.❤
Can never go wrong finding a Walnut piece
Great job. I liked that you used veneer to patch the broken edge, instead of tainted putty. I'm surprised you didn't use hide glue 😉. Well done.
I didn't get to vote, but I agree with the majority. I'm not into entirely painting a piece but there are a couple of furniture restorers I watch who will occasionally paint parts of a piece, and they do a wonderful job of bringing out the best in the piece. Having said that, I definitely prefer seeing the natural wood grain brought out. As for the talking too much/not talking at all situation - I don't mind either way. You have a soothing voice and I love hearing about the history of the piece. I also love the videos with just the shop sounds. Either way, I find your videos relaxing and it's wonderful seeing a piece of furniture go from sad and neglected to beautiful
first off i think your work is fab and I would listen to and one you stop an old piece going to dump and letting it be love all over again.
Very nice! I remember when you first did a veneer replacement. 😊 you've come along way. And I love you're Wisconsin accent. Growing up in Sun Prairie, going to East Town Mall as a teen, Saturday's in the parks. You make me remember my carefree youth.
Beautiful!!
It turned out beautifully!
Stunning results!
How did u know it would b so beautiful?! Great Great job and nice video!
Great save!!! Gorgeous!!!
Stunning
Such beautiful grain! I have painted furniture, I still have some painted pieces. I do plan on restoring a bedside table in the very near future. :)
Go for it!
Gorgeous as always!
Well for those who don't want to hear you should turn down their sound...I for one dont mind your voice at all. Thank you for saving all of these pieces you have worked and keep on talking...Beautiful piece!
Wow great save 🤍
Great result. It is now a gorgeous piece!
Stunning! 🧑🏼🍳💋!
Nice piece of furniture. I would have painted the hardware gold or black.
Hey I'm Larry from Madison's East side. Your name caught my eye and now you have a subscriber!
Hi Larry! Welcome to the channel. Barry
I believe always in my life that people
Doing this are artists not technikers.
Gong regulations to you young man.
From Crete greece
Beautiful xxx
Whoa. Who could have guesses what was under that!!!
WOW....gorgeous. Why would anyone want to paint this at all?
What beautiful wood grain design this piece has! Love that you restored this piece. Must comment on your Electrolux vacuum cleaner😊 I still have my Mom's, which we had when I was a child, and I haven't been a child...OR even a teenager in over 50 years🥴😅🙄
You sound like youre new to this thing 😅 but thennnn the end result 😲 that thing is an art piece!! 🎉
Holy freaking magonila.....whoa
I do not know why people paint furniture if it looks like that. very good.
Im all for people painting their furniture. Not because I would do it myself, but because I enjoy watching the paint get removed with paint stripper on these videos lol
this made me laugh
There is nothing wrong with you talking or your voice. Please, shrug off the criticism and keep being yourself. I personally love when you restore furniture to it's original beautiful self. Painting and decorating a piece doesn't mean it will be "in style" in a year or two. But natural wood grain never goes out of style. For example, just look at this video - beautiful!

Why are the sides next to the drawers unfinished?
Man, there's nothing quite like a natural wood grain with fresh wax/lacquer and maybe a little stain. It always amazes and dissappoints me to see what kinds of things people are willing to paint over... admittedly painting is much quicker and easier compared to stripping and refinishing.
Hey I don’t mind the accent… but that might be because I live a couple miles away 😂
I cannot imagine putting paint over that gorgeous wood. If you really need a purple dresser then go buy a cheap used one and go from there.
I grew up in Los Angeles, sorry to disappoint, but you don't have an accent. lol
NO those handles are perfect
From purple to Wow 🤩 this is a cool dresser. I think any MCM lover would be proud to have this. Great job 👏
Gorgeous
My favorite thing about painted pieces is it’s like digging for treasure, you never know what you’re gonna get. With this one, you got pure gold! That wood grain pattern is incredible ❤
Absolutely!!
WELL DONE! Beautiful! I love that you restore rather than paint whenever possible. These are pieces that have a history and will never be made again. I love that they represent the period in which they were made. Often the wood grain is beautiful! And don't worry about talking. You have interesting things to say. When im not in the mood for talking I use the mute button. 😊 Continue your beautiful work. Ill be watching. Thank you! ❤

Beautiful as always. The original veneer is a knockout. Whoever built this dresser did such a great job so it was wonderful you were able to bring it back.
Another great transformation. It constantly amazes me what you find under paint. Barry, I love your videos. I love your silent videos when the characteristics of the piece and the sounds if the shop provide the context. I love the videos where you narrate, both when it's just your process and when you dive into history. Variety is the spice of life. Thank you for all you share with us.
Talking, not talking, music, silence. I'll watch any of your videos, anytime. No fuss, no demands, just an appreciation of your art and personality. And thank-you for all the work that goes into producing and posting!
Hi Barry,
Really nice work on the dresser. The drawer front wood graining is so beautiful. Can't imagine why anyone would paint over them.
I agree and I LOVE wood, but there are some pieces of furniture that are so terribly beat up and stained beyond fixing that paint is the only thing keeping them out of the land fill. It's an act of mercy to paint them.
You really are making the world a better place by restoring these lovely pieces. :o)
Wow, Barry. That turned out great. The match box veneer front was exquisite. I have to say these early modern 40s/50s peices with chunky hardware are some of my favorites.Thank you for posting this. You did a great job restoring it to its former glory.
Just STUNNING! Finish is superior to the original lacquer factory finish! Barry, you did it again! Plus your narration is calming and so informative.
I happen to love purple, so I might have chosen this dresser because of that! LOL But wow, the grain on those drawers is just stunning now that you’ve revealed it! Such a lovely piece. :)
Not gonna lie I’d totally put the before into my house. After is gorgeous though.
Beautiful restoration. I personally like the drawer pulls!
Yes! They achor the large chest. I bet they are Golden Mean proportions.
Really? Personally?
@@jamesmcinnis208 Not sure what you are getting at, but whatever.
That is a stunning restoration and a huge improvement on the purple paint finish. The grain is so lovely that I can't imagine how anyone could want to cover it up.
Barry I always enjoy the process and your respect for the piece of furniture. I appreciate that you aren't judging the person who painted the piece because it was repurposed and kept out of a landfill. It is gratifying to see your diligence for creating the best possible outcome. The grain work on this piece was stunning. I actually like the bold pulls in contrast to the woodgrain.
So gorgeous! I do occasionally paint furniture but I wouldn't paint something this beautiful. Perhaps they did because the lacquer had become cloudy and unappealing? Who knows. Awesome video!! ❤️❤️
I love the way this piece turned out! It is Beautiful! Barry I want you to know that I think that your videos are the best! They always keep me interested in your work. I think you need to keep being you and do not get caught up in that you talk to little or to much! I am sure I speak for most of us that I like hearing you talk about the work you do! You are a very talented man! With a great outlook on life! Stay being you! Your perfect the way you are!
I think you have restored a dresser in every color of the rainbow, haha
Beautiful work!
Oh my goodness...what a hidden gem!! That figure under all that paint...the oak trim!! She is just beautiful now thanks to you Barry 😍 And I really appreciate each of your videos and the way you choose to put them together (with/without audio etc) as they are as diverse as the pieces you are working on, and...much like your audience too. Keep on what you're doing as we love it. Stay safe mate
The wood grain on those drawer fronts is stunning. You made the right choice with the natural look. Your work on this piece has revealed a work of art.
Damn son, you do great work. I’m always impressed with the quality of your restorations Barry, keep up the good work. Your channel is pure eye candy 😉.
Perfect example of a diamond in the rough!!! Just beautiful!
Just gorgeous. You revealed the beauty of this piece! You’re truly a wonderful creator and we love the care and conscientiousness you bring to your restorations.
Beautiful job Barry. Uncovering the stunning grain contours of the veneer was definitely the way to go with this. You’ve made a lovely job of it. x
I fell into the "it depends" category on painting. The red crayon on the drawer side makes me wonder if this was painted for a child's room, in which case the exuberant purple was probably a wonderful choice of color. Like others, I want to add that I enjoy whatever format you choose for an individual video. The storytelling videos are unique to the community and always amazingly sensitive; sometimes just ambient sound is wonderful. I have to imagine explaining for each project the process of sanding with increasingly finer grits (for example) can become tedious. Please just keep sharing content, and we'll keep appreciating it.
Definitely worth the work you put into stripping and refinishing this dresser. Beautiful wood grain 💖
Upon seeing that gorgeous continuum of wood grain pattern on the drawer fronts, I was immediately horrified by whatever thinking was behind painting that piece PURPLE! What kind of stretch leads to that? Boggling, to say the least. Once again, beautiful work, my man! stunning piece!
Edit: Oh, and Barry: don't worry about the voice-overs-- most of us love it. There are haters (or dislikers?) for pretty much everything. They don't outnumber us sane folk...
I really appreciate this
Maybe for a child's room, or it was painted in times when such colours were considered exciting and included in their homes, instead of bland white, grey, black, pine, teak etc. Chests of drawers like this were everywhere and easily and cheaply available second hand. Not everyone likes the look of wood, I only enjoy dark wood. Light and mid tone wood does nothing for me.
It's important to always wear a proper mask when scraping and sanding, please look after your lungs.
Thank you. It’s mind boggling how people are mystified by why someone would paint furniture when the answer is quite simple and common sense. They were simply trying to make the furniture match their decor instead of throwing it out and buying a new one. Wood furniture is easily painted and repainted but can also be restored. Its versatility makes it last a lifetime and then some. No one has to throw wooden furniture away.
I mean my first thought when I saw the color was a kids room, either bedroom or a playroom for storage. it isn't a stretch to paint something a bright purple if it matches the room or is a kids favorite color.
You are a master! I love watching you transform the different pieces you work on! You definitely could teach the world a thing or two!
What an amazing transformation!! I would have never guessed that this could turn out so nice!!
Trying to please the internet is probably harder than any restoration you have ever done ! Haha
Gorgeous grain! I'm so thrilled you uncovered that grain and didn't paint it again.
